>What appeared to be a cloud of incredibly superheated dust and radiation is on a direct course for earth
So... average day, pretty much.

>>6822236

It seemed that in this case there was a greater concentration of radiation, you didnt understand all of the technical jargon that was used, but you heard the word "sterilized" thrown around quite a few times. In any case, the cloud isnt going to be here for months. The greatest problem is getting out of the city while you still can.

>>6822200

Head to Cape Cod I guess...

Well, I suppose I'll be packing my crap into my cruiser and driving to Cape Cod then.

>>6822323
Thats the plan, but first you have to get out of the city.
What makes that difficult is the fact that all the highways are jam packed with stalled/burned out cars, and there are extensive fires Uptown. Downtown is where most of the rioters are at currently, last you heard.

>>6822387

I pack my shit up then and take the car to LAX, and try to get a pilot as a hostage so he can fly me to Cape Cod

>>6822387

Get a scooter or a motorcycle.

>>6822409
Thats certainly a plan, although the general hostage taking and having a plane flown at gunpoint is something that you were trying to prevent when the police were still operating. You pack you stuff and drive to LAX to see if there is anyway for you to get cross country. Doing your best to keep a low profile, you manage to get to the airport.

Its a mess.

All the windows looked to be smashed, and aside from the few burning wrecks you can see, it seems that most of the major aircraft have left, although there are smaller aircraft that you can see. You'd have to go through the airport first however.

>>6822488

Hide my car with the stuff somewhere noone can see it, then enter the airport with gun close by

>>6822578
Theres a small auto-shop nearby, you stash the car in there and close the garage door behind you, this neighborhood was already picked over once, so its unlikely that they will be back, much less for an auto-shop of all things.

You keep your gun in your holster, which should act as a deterrent for anyone who feels lucky (or you could hide in your pants waste band, your choice). You also have your badge, but that could have mixed reactions considering the state of things, so thats in your pocket.

You step into the lobby of LAX, and its even worse on the inside, its like a tornado blew in through here.

From here, you could go to the gates, the food court, or security.

why the hell does a police officer in LA have a family in Cape Cod

>>6822200

>>6822676
You are estranged from your family. Mom and Dad were old school hippies, and they didnt like the idea that there son was "Gonna be apart of the MACHINE, man", and your sister said that you should had been a doctor and "Not some thug with a nightstick".

When you got the opportunity to take a job at a L.A precinct you decided to get away from all that.

Right now your wishing you had stayed closer to home. They dont live in a major city but they dont believe in firearms so they'd be defenseless if someone tried to do...anything.

>>6822670
security, we might find more weapons or other cops who want to get the hell out of here

>>6822743
Yeah, should call up his cop buddies and anybody else that might just want to get out of the city, or might at least help out with weapons or something.

GET A BOAT

advicedog.jpg

AVOID CROSSCOUNTRY RIOTS

I approve of this

>>6822782
This.

Barter passage on a boat, or steal a boat, or whatever. Stick within sight of the shore, sail south to panama, take canal, sail north.

???

Profit.

Make sure to bring plenty of beer and fishing line.

>>6822743
You decide to check security.

Making your way through the general mess and broken glass you find yourself at a door, labeled "SECURITY. EMPLOYEES ONLY."

Just to see if there is anyone in there, TSA or not, you knock gently (No need getting shot in the face for barging in).

Hearing no response you slowly open the door, and look in a-OH HOLY GOD DAMN. A dead security office is slumped dead in front of a bank of camera monitors, with what appears to be a close range shotgun blast wound to the chest. This looks VERY recent, as in a half-hour at most.

>>6822797
I don't think you can just motor through the panama canal like that, since the ships that travel through there have to pay money to do so.

Also, who knows what the situation is like down there?

>>6822810
drawn your weapon and enter the room, lock the door after you and examine/investigate, check any corners for the person who shot him, check to monitors for any activity

>>6822782
You would either need to go through Panama Canal, or around South America entirely to get to Cap Code by boat.

>End of fucking world
>We're a cop
>In LA
GET THE FUCK OUT OF L.A. NOW. Doesn't matter how, it only matters that it happens before the local gangs decide they're going to capitalize on the situation. Go home, get bike and rope/bungees. Bungee bike to the top of the car if we don't have a bike rack. Drive as far as we can, abandon car, bike the fuck out. Go to a sporting goods store, get a rifle and a hang glider and glide the hell off the highest building we can find. Talk to our buddies that work in the armory/fly the police choppers/drive the armored cars. Get the fuck out of L.A. now.

>>6822825
would take too long

>>6822810
Sounds like a good cue to gtfo.

Carefully make the way down to the tarmac watching out for shotgun weilding assholes.

>>6822810

Check the room for any weapons

>>6822844
>Hang Glider

I like the way this man thinks, we should do the hang glider thing. Also we need to be calling any and all homies.

>>6822821
After checking that the room is indeed abandoned aside from the body, you close and lock the door behind you.

Examining the body and the room further, it seems that he was indeed shot with a shotgun, you found a spent 12-gauge casing on the floor. The man's badge simply states "George Franklin", and from the empty soda cans and the empty wrappers in the trash he appeared to be hiding out in here since it started.

His holster is empty.

You manage to find some more candy bars and such, and add it to your own food supply. You also check the small TV in the corner for news, nothing but static on all the channels.

As for the bank of security cameras, it appears to be a confusing mess as you dont understand how its organized, you dont see any other bodies on the screens, and the rest of the airport looks to be as much of a mess as the lobby.

WAIT. you see a man walk into what the monitor calls the "Pilots lounge". You didnt see him fast enough to see if he had a gun or not, though.

>>6822906

Do a last check for keys, then cautiously head for the Pilot's Lounge, with a hand on your pistol

>>6822906
hes prob trying to pull the same thing that we're trying to pull, go to the pilots lounge, take up position outside it, set up an ambush

GET YO SKS
>advice/k/ommando.jpg
GO INNA WOODS

>>6822928
>>6822935
You do a last minute check for anything useful before heading out, you see froma map on the wall that the Pilots Lounge has two entrances, the main entrance that connects to the main hallway that regular people use, and the employee entrance. The man used the regular entrance, so you decide to take the other entrance to surprise him if you need too.

Heading across the trashed airport with your hand on your gun you constantly check the corners and connecting hallways, seeing no other people or other bodies.

After making your way to the employee entrance, you crouch by the door with you gun out. You slowly as possible open the door a crack to look inside.

Theres shotgun man, and he has two friends and a hostage. None of them have seen you yet.

>>6823007
Take cover and try to observe them a bit. What are they doing and what are they armed with.

>>6823007

Wait, peeking through the door to see what happens. See the situation play out for now.

>>6823007
how many weapons do they have, if its only the shotgun, we should be able to waste him and if need be the other 2 before anything happens

find some debris out in the hall and make a barricade by a door

they will xheck the barricade and we can jump outfrom the room with the door and kill them

Raid armory, raid the evidence lockers, grab a few buddies (you're a cop, you have some), grab an armored truck, siphon gas from unused squad cars, pack all the shit into armor car.
Time to roll.
(Where the fuck is Cape Cod?)

>>6823035
>>6823045
Aside from the shotgun thug, another has the pistol taken from the security officer, and the third has a...bat.

Ok then.

The hostage himself seems to be fine, if terrified.

Suddenly the one with the pistol speaks.
"Hey, you find anything else?"
The one with the shotgun responds
"Naw, its nothin' but busted glass n' shit up and down the whole damn building"
"Doesnt matter, were getting the fuck outta here, right man?"
The third nudges the hostage with a bat.
"You best cooperate, unless you want a second and third asshole, buddy"
All three laugh while the man shivers on his knees in the middle of the room.

The three thugs surround the hostage in a triangle shape, the one with the shotgun has his back to you.

>>6823089
The force kinda fell apart after your superiors either left or got killed, everyone else went their own way, they all had important shit they were worried about.

>>6823089
massachusetts.
yeah.

>>6823115

Double tap the shotgun man, then go for the pistol guy. Hopefully the hostage can take care of the guy with the baseball bat.

KILL EVERY DEMOCRAT IT IS THE PERFECT OPPTUNITY

if the hostage is on the ground, and the three men are surrounding him closely, we should just be able to unload 8 or 9 rounds at the group around chest height and take em all out no prob

>>6823115

They're trying to get to a way out ASAP, right? Let's approach them slowly and ask to join them. We could probably do more good keeping them from killing random civvies than from going in, guns blazing, and risk killing both ourselves and the pilot.

>>6823143
You might be estranged from your parents because they're hippies, but that hardly seems to be the proper response to it.
>>6823154
>>6823138
You take careful aim, opening the door a little more to get a better shot.

The door creaks.

The bat thug swings his head over to you, but its too late. You fire twice into the upper back of the shotgun thug, and as he falls, the shotgun goes off in his hands into the foot of the one with the pistol.

The pistol thug jumps up and down on one foot screaming until you shoot him twice in the chest and he falls as well.

The one with the bat (without it now, he threw it away) runs from the room screaming "OH JESUS, FUCK THIS"

The Hostage looks even more terrified now, as you haven't identified yourself yet, to him you could be worse.

>>6823115
If we're a good shot take out the guy with the shotgun with one to the head then kill the guy with the pistol. Ask the third guy to back the fuck up or you'll let the hostage give HIM a new asshole

>>6823246
befriend the hostage

>>6823246
flash your badge and demand to know who he is

>>6823237
They'd kill us at the first opportunity if they're taking pleasure in mocking this poor dude on the floor. They have a hostage at gunpoint and have threatened his life. They are laughing, distracted, and unaware. This is an opportune time to take action. They've already killed a guard, remember.

>>6823246

All right, let's show the guy we mean no harm and try to see if he can help us. Also, if we let the one guy escape he might go to his gang and call for reinforcements, which could be here in as little as fifteen minutes.

LOOT BODIES, SHOTGUN AND SECOND PISTOL, READY FOR ZOMBIES GO GO GO GO

Flash badge, identify myself, tell him to stay put then pursue the third attacker. We might be able to reason with him and convince him to join us. We could use numbers, and he doesn't have a weapon

>>6823246

Tell the hostage that you are a cop, clearly showing your badge. Check the two thugs who you shot. Take their weapons, checking them for how many rounds, if they are dead. If not try to patch them up with a makeshift bandage from some cloth. Turn back to the hostage and ask if knows how to use a gun. If so, then give the pistol to him.

>>6823246
Try to calm the hostage down, and take off his gag or whatever, but don't untie him right yet so he doesn't just panic and run the fuck off.

>>6823267
>>6823272
You walk over to the man, gun in holster , and hands empty except for your badge as you greet him.
"I'm Officer Donaldson, dont worry, your safe now."

After helping him to his feet and generally helping him get himself back together he tells you his name is Brian Cook, and that he was trying to get to his plane, a Cessna when he got jumped. When he panicked and told them that he was a pilot, they were going to make him fly a 737, despite him telling them that he didnt know how, "Because it would look cool"

>>6823331
tell him that we will escort him to his cessna, ask for his destination, if he i going anywhere near MA, offer to be his guard

what did we leave in our car?:
if anything impotant finish looting the bodies and go get it

then head straight to the cessna

>>6823331

Quickly ask him if he knows how to use a pistol. If so then give him the thug's pistol, then telling him to follow you after the third. If not then tell him to check on the two thugs to see if they are still alive and to bandage them up if they still are. You will be back in a few minutes. CHASE AFTER THAT THUG!

>>6823308
You check the thugs themselves, and they are quite dead. The shotgun was a standard Remington870, the pistol was another 9mm.

Brian say that he doesnt have any firearms training, so its best that you hold onto these for now. (unless you insist otherwise, no railroads here, I swear)

call up your department buddy robocop to handle the situation, he's a new rookie in from detroit.

>>6823372

GET THAT THUG! Tell Brian to follow you, but to keep some distance.

>>6823372
give him the pistol anyways, tell him to use it only in an emergency, give him 1 clip and pocket the rest of the ammo and the shotgun. also, take their clothes, a cop uni wont make you any friends in LA

>>6823331
Let's go check out his plane, try to make it down to the tarmac, but without waltzing out in the open.

walking out to the plane on the tamac will draw attention, and leave us exposed to gunfire.

>>6823357
You left the car in an auto-shop garage, seeing as how the neighborhood was already obviously picked over it was unlikely that anyone would bother to check a garage for valuables.

>>6823367
There isnt really any point in chasing the thug, there isnt much of any sort of law right now. You flashing the badge basically states that "I *WAS* a cop". Even if you caught him, there isnt any sort of jail you could throw him into, and seeing as how you shot his two buddies, I'd doubt he'd be willing to join.

I second giving him a pistol and 1 mag just for emergencies. The guy that ran away was probably just some gangbanger, we'll never catch him with this much of a head start

>>6823372

Make your way with him to his plane, of course trying to remain mostly inside to not be caught in the open tarmac

Where is the pilot planning on going? I don't think a Cessna can fly more then 300 miles on a full tank.

Also, give him the shotgun, not the pistol. Its much easier for an untrained person to handle.

the point, OP, in chasing after him is to take his ass out.

he knows we exist. he knows the pilot exists. he knows the pilots plan. he knows we are hostile (to him).

HE MIGHT HAVE FRIENDS. HE MIGHT TALK. ALL INTELLIGENCE LEAKS MUST BE PLUGGED.

I KNOW WHERE WE LEFT IT

I want to know what we left IN IT

>>6823397
You decide to give Brian the extra 9mm, with one magazine, and state that he is only to use it for self defense.
>>6823413
"Yeah, I was trying to get to my plane, I take it you want to get out of here too, right?"
He says that he was trying to get to his own family in Utah.
Its not Massachusetts, but its certainly the right way.

multipass

i second the clothes changing idea, if the thugs clothes are too bloodied, theres prob janitors outfits or abandoned luggage close by

>>6823475
Let's rumble.

A Cessna? If he means a 172 (the most popular), that'll only get us as far as Alberquerque or Salt Lake City. A 182 could get us to Denver, though a 150 could only get us to Phoenix. We're going to need to make a few stops, in any case.
We should go to Salt Lake. They're mormons, they'll be friendly.

>>6823475
ask him about any new or rumors that he's heard

>>6823494
>They're mormons, they'll be friendly.

>>6823494
no, stay the fuck away from the religious.

>>6823494
Salt Lake City it is!

>>6823429

There's still a chance he might try to come back for us with more men and try for the vengeance angle. We have to either kill him or get the fuck out of dodge before he comes back.

I vote we get the fuck out of dodge. What fuel do Cessna's run on? Where can we find it?

Also, reload our pistol, holster it, and walk around with the shotgun.

>>6823521
We're leavin now!

>>6823453
"We'd have to make alot of stops to refuel, but I know where the airports are, we could make it."
Brian also knows they killed that security officer with the shotgun, so he isnt comfortable using it. He doesnt even look comfortable using the 9mm, but he'll stick with it.
>>6823459
You took all the provisions (You have a backpack, I should have mentioned it and now I feel retarded) but left all the stuff related to the car (gas cans, spare tire, CB radio) in the car.
>>6823454
Brian also says that it was always just the three of them, from when they jumped him, to just now. Even more, he's got a hell of a head start and he went in the opposite direction of the Tarmac.
>>6823439
You decide that the sooner you get out of here the better.

>>6823559
go get the radio and the cop lights, filter the tank of gas in your car into the separate gas cans

>>6823559

Get the hell out of Dodge. Head straight for his plane. The thug might be coming back with friends.

>>6823559
Consult the map, look for anywhere we could get supplies/fuel/weapons etc.

>>6823559
Tell him to go get his plane ready. Head for you car.

get to the plane first, make sure that its chill, then, look for more supplies, theres probably plenty of shit in the hangar with the cessna

>>6823584
Wait, what? Head straight for the plane, it should have a radio and prop planes don't run off gasoline. Nothing in the car we need.

>>6823539
Deciding to use the shotgun (You've only got 7 shots make em count if you gotta use em), you and Brian make your way to the Tarmac.

The two of you find a door that leads outside, you again crack it open for a better look. The suns starting to go down, so you should have some shadows to stick to as you cross.

Brian points out the hanger his plane is in. Its not fair, so you should be alright as you make your way.

The Tarmac is actually eerily abandoned, aside from the burning husk of a 747 (it appears that someone set it on fire for the fun of it, rather than it being an accident.

Inside the hanger, Brian finds his plane, with the words "S.S NIGGER TITS" spray painted on the side in bright red.

"Aw man"

Get the hell out. Who knows, it might have been a few members of a much bigger gang. Better safe than sorry, and a small Cessna shouldn't take too long to get into the air.

>>6823631

Politely tell him to get the plane ready. Meanwhile put your backpack in the back and get ready to leave.

>>6823631

Okay, so let's stay away from cities with sizable black populations.

>>6823631
have him check to make sure its fully operational, a tagger is the least of our worry's unless hes armed

>>6823631
tell him to hurry and get it ready, scour the hangar for supplies, in particular tools, fuel, and a radio

Puh-leeze hai-alp.

>>6823668

I concur

>>6823631
ask him for his profession, we still dont know what this guy does for a living, and some conversation might ease his fright

>>6823652
"Man, its not even a boat, why'd they do this?"
>>6823649
Brian has already started (after checking to see how dry the paint was to see if he could clean it off, he cant. "God Damnit") You load your own stuff into the plane itself. It should take long to get into the air.

>>6823694

Scout the hangar, then if time an adjacent buildings, for any useful items

>>6823710
This, fuel, spare parts, anything, a GPS would be killer too.

>>6823694
get maps too. topographical, and road maps

>>6823668
You manage to find a few cans of fuel while Brian tops the plane off directly from the main storage tanks.
Tool wise, Brian has you covered. He knows how to maintain his own plane fairly easily, but another model would take more time.
>>6823680
"I was a instructor. Its why i'm all the way out here instead of back home in Utah, I got asked about taking up a job up here teaching new pilots. Then I get here, and the world goes crazy, and the flying school got burned down and I got stuck in the city with it being too dangerous to get to the plane."
>>6823660
Brian gives it the OK.
Any last things you wondering about before we go?

>>6823733
>>6823775
maps

>>6823775

Get in the plane and take off. Any small talk can happen in the air.

>>6822200

So what are humanity's chances for surviving this disaster? Is it going to destroy all surface life or just cause a mass extinction?

if theirs a can of white paint or whatever lying around lets paint over the taggers shit we should do what we can to at least LOOK proper

>>6823720
>>6823733
You found spare fuel and topped off the tank. While Brian has his own maps with airports and the like pointed out, you feel it would be best to get something more specific.
You manage to find road maps of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Brian also has a GPS in the plane. "Not that I need it though."
He has certainly calmed down at the prospect of getting in the air again, and is certainly proud of his work.

>>6823824

If there's anything around to scrape off the paint, I think that'd work too.

look for the paint they used or other paint and paint over it

>>6823882

or put some duct tape over it. There's probably duct tape around here somewhere, and it's always good to have some

>>6823815
You didnt really understand the whole situation, but the U.S Representative said that there was a contingency plan, but they didnt reveal anything, then everything went to hell and you couldnt find out more.
>>6823824
"Hey Brian!" You shout across the hanger, holding up a bucket of paint. "Will this work?"
Brian grins "Definitely! Get that over here!"
After a few minutes with a brush, the slur is obscured.
The Cessna's engine roars into life as you open the hanger doors.

>>6823908

Continue small talk as you take off

avgas (aviation gas, high octane) makes GREAT cleaner and paint remover.

Put a little on a rag, some elbow grease, and watch that shit disapear.

>>6823908
shotgun at the ready, i get the feeling some asshole is going to block the runway with his body

>>6823927

ask him whether or not he thinks we're all doomed.

Once we're airborne, ask the pilot to switch on the radio and try to see if anybody is out there, or if the FAA is still functional or anything else like that. Call up the usual frequencies that are always supposed to be there.

Maybe monitor some of the other civilian bands to see whats going on down on the ground.

>>6823927
>>6823950
>>6823955
"So, uh, tell me about your family" you ask over the engine, as the plane slowly moves out of the hanger and onto the Tarmac. "Got a wife, Jessica, I'm not worried though, she'd send an army of idiots running with one mean look" he jokes, but there is a worried undercurrent in his voice, so you switch the subject.
"What do you think about this 'End of the World' bullshit?" "Oh, it'll be nothing, you watch, and then we'll have to clean up after the lunatics."

The two of you continue to chat while the plane gathers speed, eventually getting airborne.

Brian makes one pass over the airport, giving you a better view of the city. Uptown has become an Inferno, and Downtown doesnt look any better, with mobs of people running the streets in total chaos.

Then you turn east, toward the night.

>>6824058
>implying thats not what LA looks like all the time

>>6824005
"The radios quiet. Thats just not right."

SORRY GUYS. GONNA HAVE TO CUT IT OFF HERE.

It was my first quest, so be as brutally honest as you can get. I expected you guys to take the car on back roads to get out of the city, I never thought of the airport.

I'll be back tomorrow, short of a power outage or the end of the world.

>>6824087
Is' ai't. The character dialogue was done pretty well.

>>6824180
Thats something I was worried about, that I'd accidentally write everyone as the same damn guy. Glad to see I side stepped that problem.

I enjoyed it.

No trollan either, except for those sousers making long plans. "Get car, drive, drive, get gas, hurp, I am not replying to any specific post because my idea is the best one."
