Road of the Dead/Dialogue

## Introduction Cutscene

(Creasman is listening to rock music and welding in his garage, when suddenly the radio cuts to EAS alarm. Creasman lifts up his welding mask.)

**Creasman**: Huh?

**Broadcaster**: This is an emergency alert system broadcast. This is not a test.

(The alarm continues. Then cuts after a few seconds)

**Newscaster**: Hello, citizen. Due to unforeseen and unexplained events, the city has been quarantined. Please stay home. Lock all your doors and windows. Stay out of sight until further notice. Repeat, it is crucial that you stay in your home and out of sight. Martial law is now in effect and anyone trying to exit the city will be shot on sight. This is not an exercise. Stay home until further notice.

(The alarm continues. Chaos ensures outside his garage. Zombies groan, people screams, gunshots ring out. Creasman is shocked.)

**Creasman**: (Thinking) Whoa. This is bad...

(He enters his Mustang and changes the channel.)

**Female Newscaster**: This is not an isolated case-

(Creasman changes the channel again. The radio plays rock music. Creasman changes the channel a third time.)

**Female Interviewee**: It just got up and started walking-!

(Creasman changes the channel a final time.)

**Unit 4**: Unit 4 to Base! Sector C was already overwhelmed. What do you want us to do?! The freaking dead are still walking, goddammit!

**HQ Commander**: Get a hold of yourself. We're... trained to handle anything. So stick to your job...

**Creasman**: (Thinking) What the hell... walking dead..? Shit, I'm not staying here...
