*Nothing of note occurs on your path to the camp, until it comes into view near the edge of town. It’s very clearly out of place, with pylons of unknown function, and barriers and walls surrounding an encampment of small shacks made of a highly refined metallic material*

@Crew

So what's with the refugee camp over here?

Curtis: I think they may appreciate that in the long term. Keep me posted.

@Crew

Will do.
*Goes back to whistling*

Curtis: You might be seeing a lot of lifeless looking folks in the streets, but unless you can verify that in person, it looks to me like most of those unmoving folks are still alive.

@Crew

That’s encouraging, at least. I’ll try not to run over any of them.

<Snipped quote by Session>

Curtis: Have you checked? As far as actual life signs go, we still read loads. Just virtually no movement or activity otherwise.

@Crew

Sure haven’t!
*Whistles a tune as I drive*

Curtis: It’s that bad, huh?

@Crew

I don’t think it’ll happen, but it’s pretty bad down here boss. Most everyone’s dead.

Curtis: You'll want to make a vague 90 degree turn to your left at some point and then make your way out of town. There should be signs posted at just about every intersection that advertised directions to our treatment camp, but if needed, I can have someone guide you.

@Crew

I can read, but if I start tearing up I’ll defer to your guys.

*You pass by a man shuffling his feet along the sidewalk who reaches feebly out in your direction as you pass*
Curtis: I’m one step ahead of you on that. Barring you making a plan with any new information you had, I was prepared for the next step to be rendezvousing with our guys. You’re headed west at the moment. If you head towards the outskirts of the southside of town, we had a camp set up where our guys were attempting initial field research and treatments.

@Crew

*Remorse flashes across my face as I pass him*
As long as no one decides to jump in front of me on the way in. What way’s the camp?

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Nothing about any of your life force readings seem to be shifting right at the immediate moment*
Curtis: Good. You got a plan in your time at the hospital? I’m impressed with how quickly you moved along.

@Crew

*Looks away from the road and focuses my good eye on the particle movement for a few moments before looking back*
I got a pulse on the healthy and the sick; anything past that point needs field work. You’re going to need to lead me to any IA guys around here when we get to that point though.

Curtis:
*My voice rings in through the earpiece not long after you pull out*
You there? Eyes in the sky are telling me they just watched someone leave. I assume that’s you, unless someone else has gone suicidal.

@Crew

As great a story as that’d make, boss, they’re probably looking right at me.

<Snipped quote by Session>

*Nods and closes the door for you, steps back and waves with a smile that betrays a melancholy I am clearly failing to hide. A closed garage door on the far end of the lot slowly raises itself and lets in the sunlight*

@Multifarious

*Does a short wave with two fingers and a thumb, and rides off away from the property and out of sight*
Alright, poison planet. Let’s see how long you take to kill me off.
*Rips off my eyepatch and casts it to the side, behind which sits a void buzzing with the same point particles that fill the vehicle with my own life energy projections*
