Pratia III

[Zain]

I see a schedule conflict tonight, so I will start this phase prematurely, but remember, signups are allowed throughout this phase which ends on Tuesday, 9:00PM (GMT-6)

Day Phase 1

Michael Engels had assumed a sort of leadership, knowing full well none of the members of the survivors knew he was really Hayden Matthews. He led them further and further away from Mobile, from where the Praters had ran them over. They had been torn apart, and now forced to seek refuge in a cave next to a small stream.

“We’re going to be okay” Michael reassured them, “We’re far away from them now, we just need to rest and regroup.”

After assigning jobs each of the survivors stayed busy gathering food and water, building cots, and doing whatever else they could come up with. The point was to establish a meager living for now until a better plan arose, and with this they toiled and then they rested.

Early that next morning a booming voice entered their cave, “Well what do we have here!?” They all jumped and looked to see in the dim light a group of men. Michael stood, as his sleeping area was already near the entrance where they were, said, “What can we help you with, sirs?”

The man, looking much cleaner and well kempt than the others of his group approached Michael. He was a tall man, looking down at Michael and at the rest of the remnants. “You’re on our land.”

He looked over at the crowd and scanned them, “I should kill all of you right now, but instead we’re going to play a little game.” He looked back at Michael, “See that clearing across the draw?” Michael looked and nodded, “In 48 hours you will send one of your people over and give me an answer to three questions. If I like your answers, I’ll let you stay here; you don’t seem to be threats anyway.”

“What if you don’t like our answers?” Michael asked.

“Then you all die” the man said, emotionless.

Michael and the people tensed up, and after a moment Michael asked, “What are your questions?”

The man handed him a folded note, and walked out without another word. His men followed behind and disappeared behind the trees.

Michael opened the note and read the questions out loud,
"1. What is the moral choice, killing one man to save five, or allowing one man to live knowing it will result in the death of five others?
2. A man’s wife is dying of a horrible disease, and a local doctor has a very expensive medication that will cure her. The man does not have the money, but without the medication his wife will die. He also knows that stealing the medication will result in his imprisonment, possibly for life. What course of action should he take?
3. Why should I let you all live?"

Michael finished up, folding the note and putting it in his pocket. “Well, let’s decide who we’re sending, and how to answer these questions…”

Explanation:
-All players are invited to vote to elect a Liaison to speak with the mysterious men.

-Please discuss the answers to these questions, for the Liaison must PM me after this phase ends with the answers. The more discussion in thread, the better the results will be (Just saying)

-You may elect yourself.

-Elect:Abstain is a valid vote although ill-advised at this time.

-Role PMs will be sent out at the conclusion of this phase.

-New signups will be allowed until the conclusion of this phase.
