Thread: Nobody Likes Doctors -- Z-Nation [sixlikesgore & Virginia Greene]

the ocean tried to kill 10k. Also I continue to need you to watch season 3 because I need your opinion on the New Murphy because I was rewatching shit and consideration about how Shannon and Murphys relationship would become the most fucked up thing. Badger your boyfriend. He looked at her like she had looked at the zombies who were brought into the lab, and Shannon had no idea why. The others had come to get her, perhaps it hadnt been a unanimous decision. Probably not, she realized, not a lot of people would risk themselves for a scientist and stranger. Sure she had doctoring abilities, but she was still a stranger whos mental state should definitely be in question after three years. She was a little suspicious of all of them, but didnt have a whole lot of options at this point. And it wasn't like someone would risk their lives to rescue someone just to kill them, so she had a better promise of safety with them than they did with her. It was really just all logic. Still, it made her a tiny bit uncomfortable. Shaking her head, she pushed a few strands of hair out of her face and tucking them behind her ear. Oh, no. Ive ready a few old Psychology Todays, but the mind was never my strong suit. Or the brain in general. We had a guy like that, but he, uh she gestured out into the grass. A few feet from the door to the building where shed been stuck was a zombie in a bloody lab coat lying face down in the grass, bullet in his head, hes not much help anymore. Depressing. Shannon did okay with people, honestly, but she wasn't sure how much she was going to reveal everything about herself right now, it wasn't smart. She needed these people to like her so that she could survive, that meant that she should keep her best face out. And her best face was the one of the awkward scientist who had been jerked around by situation and circumstance. It wasn't a lie, it just wasn't the entire truth. She hadn't been in charge, she hadn't really been able to do anything without checking in with the military. What were they doing? That was an easy answer, but she didn't have the answer she'd hoped to be able to someday provide. Desperately trying not to admit we didnt know what we were doing. Clinging to things wed been best at before the apocalypse. She smiled slightly, expression tired, trying to find some kind of vaccine. We had a steady supply of zombies and rats, we were doing what we could with those. Rats didnt even turn if they got infected, they just died. Like their tiny brains couldnt handle it. But if they could keep a rat from getting infected and dying from a tiny dose, they could keep something bigger from turning. Problem was, theyd only gotten past rat once. And it hadnt worked on anything bigger. Kid? She had to lean out to see the last member of the team, not quite believing the use of the word kid. She hadnt assumed it was an actual kid, but something about the dark haired teen - man? - did kinda just scream kid to her. This group was interesting. It seemed like the kind of group that happened when people just found each other in the apocalypse, not like coworkers forced to be together by military presence and desire to find an answer. These people might have been more family than business, it looked a little like it when Roberta and the man who seemed to be a leader were standing together and talking to each other. Shannon kept to her side of the back seats, mirroring his position, partially because she wanted to make sure that Murphy didnt feel like she was all up in his space and partially because she was exhausted. Her eyes fell closed, though the one time they did open because they went over a bump, and her bright green eyes drifting over towards Murphy. He was the only one whos face she could see, which mean that should look to him to see if things were bad. She caught him looking at her and offered another tired smile. Are you headed somewhere in particular? It wasnt a question necessarily for Murphy, just anyone in the van. People just roamed, she figured. Shed never really run around outside of the enclosed space, except for the move from the CDC to the university, and there had been military guard with her at all times. She hadnt been outside without a guard since the apocalypse started. In the truck, discussion was happening about whether or not to tell the new doctor about who Murphy was. They couldnt even be sure they were going to keep her. Not like they could just dump the woman on the side of the road, but thered be a community eventually. A doctor would be great, but another person without survival skills? Murphy already took up enough supplies and was abrasive enough for two people.
