GOOD EVENING!
Did you have a good afternoon? Maybe you've even gotten your "present" from above.
Your good mood is about to get spoiled like old ice cream. But fear not, new ice cream is on the way. Around 2am on the 23rd (IC), an ice cream truck will be careening toward the compound, music at maximum volume. When it gets to the gate, a man in a gas mask will be leaning out of the window to shout at anyone who can hear him.
"I CAN'T TURN THIS THING OFF, GET READY TO CLOSE THE GATE!"
While his rental does bear fresh ice cream (somebody up there doesn't like this guy) it also bears zombies—the running, angry ones, actually. The NPC will use a remote to open the gate (man, where the hell did he get that and how does it even work) and will drive through (get out of the way...), but it needs to be closed behind him within a few minutes.
However, even if the gate is closed before the zombies get there, they'll crowd around the compound until they're all dead; and needless to say, there are quite a few of them. Not only are they faster, they're stronger than your average zombie, so try not to pull any heroic stunts.

OOC NOTES.
First off, if your character isn't in the compound and you don't want them to get attacked by zombies, that's okay! They'll just be focused on the truck. Secondly, your character can absolutely be on the outside of the compound when the truck arrives, though you should keep in mind that it'll be much more dangerous.
There will be a subthread for closing the gate and one for talking to the NPC afterward that will be open to everyone, and one that is closed to Tiny Tina and Natasha for discussed player plots! Apart from that, you can make your own top levels for killing the zombies, enjoying amazingly cheap ice cream, complaining about the new guy and/or dissecting the zombies, looking at you, science geeks.
As always, here is the turn in post in case you get some exploring done, or just plain forgot about it, etc. There's nothing major to be found in the truck, but there might be some interesting paperwork... if you like that sort of thing.
ETA: The zombie attack will be finished by the next day, so that plans aren't affected yet. If you'd like to plot a widescale attack, let me know! We can do that B-)

Blueprints for a tower that's supposed to be nearby. You know it?

A few clicks from here. There have been a couple people maintaining it.
[ There's a flicker of something in the set of her expression, her mouth quirking up at the corner. ]
Don't tell me we've been doing your job for you.

I forgot where this place was. They did a terrible job when they sent me here, there's so many holes in my memory. Like the annoying NPC in a video game that should be able to give you all the answers right away, but just can't.
[ Cue a dramatic sigh. ]
no subject
'They'.
[ Not the most important part. Maybe the most personal, memory erasure considered. ]
Did they send you for maintenance? We haven't gotten the signals to reach far.

Kind of? I'm not actually sure what all I'm supposed to do. My memory's full of damn holes. [ A twitch of his nose, mostly in annoyance. ] Fixing it, adjusting it, making it work different—whatever's needed, I'm supposed to help with. Pretty sure I can help with it.
