You work in the PR department of Contain-Gen, a company that emerged in the early days of the zombie outbreak. Contain-Gen is responsible for containing the infected and preventing outbreaks within the city.
You’ve recently taken on a new position as Social Media Specialist. It’s a high stress job. It is your responsibility to post critical information. Most citizens look to Contain-Gen’s social media pages to read credible, up-to-date articles about prevention practices, navigating newly infected areas of the city, and acting in critical situations. Updating this information used to be Wallace’s responsibility, but he made too many mistakes and, ironically, one final one that resulted in the infection of his own neighborhood.
You’ve been struggling to make appropriate decisions and recently been making some poor choices about what to share. You are feeling a lot of pressure from your boss, among other things. It’s really important that what you share today is up to your company’s standard. The consequences are clearly life and death.
Are you ready to proceed?
[[Yes, better not put today’s task off any longer.|Article Intro]]
[[No, there's too much pressure|Too Bad]].
After a period of time, you come across an article that deals with the early signs of zombie onset. It seems important given last week’s food court incident. Think of how different that would have played out if someone had noticed that FroYo worker sooner. [[You want to take a closer look.|Article]]
(Set: $counter=0)
You really don't have much of a choice. The company has really shrunken in size over the past few months and there aren't a lot of people left who can do this job. Sure you can not do it and quit, but do you really want to trust someone else with this information?
[[No, I can't risk someone else making the same mistakes as Wallace. What if it's my neighborhood next time?|Article Intro]]
[[Yes, I don't have trust issues, but I would prefer to keep my job. Better to be researching information than working directly with zombies.|Article Intro]]

[[Not share. While the information was both current and relevant, there were too many other issues with credibility.”|Death2]]
Turns out your texts recommendation to check for salivating should have been source checked further. You are dead.

It seems like you've made a good decision. You still have your job and you live to see another day.
[[END|END]]
While there were issues with credibltiy, you clearly should have shared something. It is the zombie apocolypse, so you shouldn't be surprised to find that you are dead.
