Week 2

SURVIVAL TRAINING SCENARIO #2

Your vacationing in the town they filmed Tremors in.

One of the many tourists taking the “Re-Live Tremors!” Tour asks for shelter, a glass of water, and a place to lie down. HE IS LOOKING DEATHLY ILL. You’ve heard rumors of a zombie outbreak in the other tour bus. And by rumors, we mean the bus FLIPPED OVER AND ZOMBIES WERE COMING OUT OF IT. Yet, you’ve decided to enjoy your vacation anyway and go on this tour, even though half the tour group is now dead and/or reanimated 30 miles outside of town. On top of it all, YOU HAVE MAJOR DIABETES.

HOW WILL YOU STAY ALIVE AND HAVE FUN?!

DAVID LIPKIN – WINNER
Even with a major case of diabetes, I should still be able to take care of the current situation and enjoy my wonderful tour. The ill tourist is exhibiting classic symptoms of infection, and I have little time to act. While some might immediately execute the infected tourist as a matter of safety, it would be a wiser move to use said tourist as bait.

Bringing him off the bus, I would lead him to the closest zombie inhabited area. I would make a great deal of noise, and then shove him to the ground. In his state, it is unlikely he would be able to regain his footing in a timely fashion, and by the time he was upright, the zombies would have found him. I would already be on my way back to the tour bus.

Assuming I stay hydrated, and that I have the insulin shots I require (and what sort of irresponsible person would I be if I did not?), I am now able to enjoy my tour of Perfection without fear of immediate death.

SEAN – RUNNER UP
Being that I have major Diabetes I would summon the powers and looks of Wilford Brimley who already looks like a zombie. Simply by walking his normal, please-don’t-let-me-break-a-hip pace I would wander the town as I pleased taking in as much Kevin Bacon 1990 awesomeness as I possibly can. If I needed to eat somebody just to bring my blood sugar down it will only help with the disguise …

CHELSEA – HONORABLE MENTION
As everyone knows, Tremors took place near that underground bunker where Reba McEntire and the dad from Family Ties had a bunch of guns and explosives. After infiltrating this bunker, we would be well stocked with firearms and supplies. Making our way back to the tour, we would have a good amount of land between us and the rest of the zombies. With long range rifles, we would take them out and ensure safe grounds for a fantastic day. After that, on with the tour!

CLARE- HONORABLE MENTION

I am a really scared person in my day to day life, worried about monsters/rodents/undead making their appearance constantly. As such, I would probably lead said “tourist” to a well lit area, middle of the street perhaps, place the glass of water near them, and then scamper to the other side of the street. Grace of god, if they are not a zombie, they won’t get run over by a semi.
