Escape from Zombie Park Island

[PointMaid]

I was not talking to you, Mr. Kaard.

[PointMaid]

You two may leave. If you don't wish to ask anything of me... I won't force you.

[artsyGeek]

"Who is that remark about the serum to then, Dr. Frankie?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, I am curious. Why did you take the pills away Issac made?

[PointMaid]

I would rather the person reveal themself. I will tell in a minute, if I must.

I took away the pills because... well, I didn't trust it. How could anyone find, magic, a True Cure after I'd been spending all my time to do so to no avail? Dangerous, dangerous. Although maybe if I experiment with them I can see if they work and by what method.

[artsyGeek]

Percy deeply sighs, before speaking up. "I.. Have an odd feeling that serum is for an infected. If that's so, well.."

She briefly pauses.

"Perhaps I'm the one you're talking about?"

[PointMaid]

Dr. Frankie nods. Yes, Miss Percy. We both should stay here for now. Until I can figure out a true cure, if there really is one. Perhaps the boy's pills really are something special. We shall see.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Damn, Percy. You managed to become one of them? I don't know how you managed the willpower not to kill one of us, but I have a lot of respect for you. I hope you can return back to normal.,

[PointMaid]

Frankie narrowed her eyes. Oh, she tried. But instead of dying, Mr. Bryan was turned. Not last night, as you assumed. The day before.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Regardless, as long as you don't end up among the dead. Good luck to you, Percy and Godspeed.

[artsyGeek]

"What Dr. Frankie said. And, uh, apologies, if you felt that I had betrayed you. I've tried my best to not get caught and to help you all. I hope it's not all in vain, and I can return to my home, and.. Perhaps, you guys."

Percy gently smiles, although her eyes tell she wanted to cry right there on the spot.

[MadeOfMilk]

C-can I go?

[PointMaid]

You may go, Isaac. If you have problems, if your parents give you a hard time or try to send you to a job against your will -- you may call on me. I believe others here may be willing to assist, as well.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Feh.... let's get out of this damn place., Skiggs says as he boards the ship.

[Guma]

I was most fortunate to survive. I'll not deny that. Fare thee well . . . .

[madface7]

Demo salutes and boards the ship.

[Guma]

He boarded the ship.

[Dookie]

Before Elizabeth gets on, she looks back at all the people she's leaving - Pico, Mrs. Mayberry, Percy - and then she looks forward, at all the people she's going with - Mr. Skiggs, Issac, Demoman, and Roulxs.

It seems she actually made it, she didn't die or get infected. What are the odds?

She gets on the boat.

[Subparman]

>Board the ship. Something of an uneventful ride, but you've survived, at least.

[PointMaid]

As each of them gets on the ship, Dr. Frankie hands them their salary. Well done, and good luck, wherever you fare.

In addition:

To Tavish Finnegan "Demoman" DeGroot, she gives… more loot. He was the one who wanted to make sure he was paid.

To Elizabeth, she gives a phone loaded with her number. It comes with a note: "Don't ghost me... oh, fine. Only call if you want to."

To Rouxls Kaard, she gives an old bestiary locked with a puzzle lock. "For the Animal Whisperer. Keep using those skills."

To Isaac, she gives a warm blanket of wooly mammoth hair and a dodo-down pillow. "With warm regards. Frankie."

To Skiggs, she gives one of the tranquilizer guns. "You look like a fellow who could use this. Use it wisely."

To Akatsuki and Akira, she gives a two-faced watch with a double-ended time portal that can be set to two different times. "This is for not two-timing us and sticking in there, even when it was twice as hard. If you want a place to use that genetic engineering knowledge in your resume, let me know."

With the shipment that has come in, now I have money and more equipment to study the virus and find a cure. And, of course, bring back more animals. The biosphere still needs to be restored, not just here. The animals may be safe for now, but there's still a lot of work to do. I have to make more serum. And I have to… deal… with my cousin. I have a feeling she's not going to let this go quietly.

Will Cousin Victoria appear in the next edition of Zombie Park Island? Will there be a new edition of Zombie Park Island when she's done with it? You'll just have to see!
