The survivalist Sniper and the handy Redhead
The group is on the road leading to Roswell, riding in a Jeep listening to a tape.
"We need to get off the road." Vasquez says turning down the volume on the radio.
"I don't like being so far into Zero's territory so I guess we don't have a choice." Roberta replies from her place behind the steering wheel.
They ride by a Zombie lying at the side of the road and Murphy asks "Wait, what's that?"
Roberta slows down the car and 10K, sitting on the top of a seat, with Addy between his legs uses a flashlight to let them see what's going on.
"That is a new one." Addy says looking at the Zombie cut clean in multiple parts without spilling much blood, its upper body still flailing around.
"I want whatever did that." 10K tells them impressed at the damage the weapon did.
"Some kinda Samurai surgeon?" Doc wonders.
"Some things you just can't unsee." Addy says wondering what did this.
She hears 10K loading his handgun and leans to the side protecting her ears, looking back at him and lets him take the shot at the Zombie's head, mercying him.
"4234 and a third." 10K counts.
"Take the whole kill, you deserve it kid." Doc tells him.
"35" 10K corrects himself and they pick up speed again.
"You know they used to find mutilated Cattle back here pre-Z." 10K tells them.
"mutilated Cattle, like X-files mutilated Cattle?" Roberta questions.
"Yeah my uncle knew all about it, aliens did it." 10K replies.
"Have you been smoking my Z-weed?" Doc asks.
"No." 10K replies.
"Maybe you better start." Doc tells him amused.
"You believe in UFOs?" Murphy asks surprised.
"Sure." 10K says.
"That's ridiculous, aliens don't exist, if they do and were smart enough to get here they wouldn't put up with the dumbass human race for a minute. Pure science fiction." Murphy says.
"That's what people said about Zombies." 10K replies.
"Well I mean maybe there is Zombies but there sure as hell ain't no aliens." Murphy denies and then the radio starts to make weird noises and the car breaks down.
"The hell kinda language is that?" Vasquez asks.
"Sounds like alien cross-talk to me." 10K tells them.
"Now you're just saying that to piss me off aren't you?" Murphy asks annoyed.
"Am I the only one a little creeped out?" Doc asks slightly scared.
They then see a light in the rear view mirror heading towards them it passes over them in a heartbeat and flies down the road, shooting some kind of beam on a person or Zombie and then takes off towards the heavens in a 90 degree angle.
"like I was saying." 10K tells them, while they look around stunned.
The car then starts working again and their radio is also playing the tape again.
"That was exciting." Doc says.
"Can someone go ahead and tell me what that was? Or are we going with 10Ks UFO theory? No offense babe but it is kinda hard to imagine." Addy asks them.
"Plane?" Doc asks.
"Haven't seen those for a while." Vasquez tells him.
"Is it possible? Alright listen my dad was this no bullshit, tell it like it is airforce pilot. He told this story of seeing this brightly lit craft buzzing over him in Nevada and it made him a total believer and as a little girl I always wondered." Roberta tells them.
"Well wonder no more, Zombies got here first. There are no aliens." Murphy protests.
"I don't know UFO seems more likely than somebody still able to fly a jet today, especially one that can do that." Doc says.
"I'm telling you." 10K starts but gets cut off by Murphy butting in "Don't make me bite you!"
he then looks to his left seeing Addy's annoyed look and quickly adds "kidding."
"You better be, I want my man not to be some puppet." Addy warns him silently playing with her Z-whacker.
10K sitting behind her just chuckles and kisses Addy on top of her head.
In the morning they stop the car and get out, stretching their legs.
"10K let me see your scope. Let's see if there is something for us to believe in." Roberta tells him, taking 10Ks rifle.
"OK Addy, 10K you follow us with the Jeep to this thing, just in case we need to make a quick getaway. Looks crashed alright." Roberta tells them looking at a wreckage through 10Ks scope.
"If it was a plane we definitely should find it and fly the hell out of the apocalypse. Definitely a lot faster than driving." Addy says.
"Yeah well, last time I got into a plane it didn't end so well." Murphy grumbles.
"Does anything in your life?" Addy asks annoyed at Murphy's constant complaining.
"Yeah well it didn't look like any plane I've seen and we are in Roswell." Roberta tells them, handing 10K his rifle back.
"Murphy's right, whatever it is it isn't some kind of extra terrestrial." Vasquez says.
"What then, some kind of drone?" Roberta questions.
"Maybe."Vasquez murmurs.
"What kind of drone moves like that?" Doc asks doubtfully.
"I'm telling you, my uncle..." 10K starts.
"Don't say it." Murphy complains and they then go over to the crash site.
"Is this something I'm supposed to believe in?" Roberta asks walkgin through the rubble.
"It's a crash site of some kind." Vasquez tells her.
"It's like from the future."Doc says.
"Well it's definitely been here a while. Probably crashed when everything went bad." Roberta says looking at the rubble strewn around.
"Looks like there is some kind of markings here. Kinda weird." Addy tells them looking at a piece of metal.
"It's not a plane, there is no wings." 10K says.
"What about helicopter?" Vasquez suggests.
"Yeah but where are the rotors?" Roberta asks.
"Guys what is it?" Addy asks them confused.
"If anyone says flying saucer I'm outta here." Murphy complains.
"Well sure looks like an airborne disk of some kind." Doc says.
"Well whatever it is it's not the thing we saw last night, so let's keep going." Roberta tells them.
"Into Roswell?" Murphy asks annoyed.
"We need supplies." Roberta tells him.
"Great more alien huggers." Murphy says, when some Zombies come up from behind them.
"Never mind aliens, puppies and kittens people." Roberta says aiming her gun at the incoming Zs shooting the first one while Vasquez takes out the other one.
"Couple more over here." Doc alerts them.
"10K you're up." Roberta tells him and 10K takes out his slingshot, loading a gear and shoots it, hitting the farther of the 2 incoming Zombies through the head, mercying it.
He looks for some more ammunation but sees that he's got none left and takes out his Kukuri, stabbing the Z in the back of the head.
"4236 and 37." He says.
They then get back on their car, riding into town. They pull up infront of a building with a flying saucer figure on the roof and get out. "3 o'clock." Doc says and 10K shoots with his slingshot, having picked up some more ammunition, killing the Zombie running towards them.
"4238." 10K counts.
"OK, talk about I wanna believe." Addy says looking at the figure on the roof.
"The only thing the people of Roswell believe in is liberating money from suckers." Murphy scuffs while everyone gets of the car and goes into the building.
"Are you here for the visitors?" Someone standing in the corner with a clipboard asks them excited, when they enter the building.
"Visitors?" Roberta asks.
"Uhm I think he means..." Murphy says and points at a drawing of an green aliens head on the wall.
"Have you been touched by Bernadett?" the man asks.
"Who?" Roberta asks confused.
"Don't worry, I'm Roy I'll help you with the orientation." the man tells them, writing something on his board.
"Orientation?" Roberta questions.
"Yeah, for the exodus." Roy replies.
"What exodus?" Vasquez asks him.
"It's OK, if you're confused. Many newcomers are, we had a guy from riverside Ioha show up who thought he was a starship captain." Roy tells them laughing.
"Are we supposed to understand what the hell you're talking about?" Murphy asks him.
"You've been drawn here by inexplicable visions of leading the planet on a journey through fire right?"
"No, we've been drawn here by visions of finding food and gas?" Doc says jokingly.
In the meantime Addy and 10K are mostly ingnoring Roy, ever since he greeted them and Addy sees a pair of Sunglasses, shaped like Alien eyes and puts them on 10K, chuckling at how he looks but kisses him when she sees him sulk a little.
"Didn't have a dream of large human form with almond eyes telepathically urging to come to Roswell at the appointed time?" Roy questions.
"Nope." Roberta tells him.
"We did see some really strange lights in the sky last night though." 10K cuts in.
"Everything is strange to you. You grew up in a cave." Murphy taunts him.
"Don't take it seriously." Addy whispers in 10Ks ear.
"Hmm? No he's right my family consisted of conspiracy-theory nuts so most of the time I only learned survival skills." 10K whispers back with a grin.
"Well the most important thing is that you're not too late and here, let me show you around before Bernadette returns. I'll introduce you to the fellow extronauts." Roy says leading them outside.
"Extronauts? Hey man these aliens, they're not the probing kind are they?" Doc asks fearful.
"No we're not abductees. Those people are crazy. We're inductees. We were invited not kidnapped. We refer to ourselves as extronauts because we'll be the first humans to explore the alien world." Roy says excited.
"So, how do you plan on doing that exactly?" Murphy asks him.
"The visitors are coming to save us from the apocalypse, we have been chosen and they're almost ready. Just six more days, Bernadette is in close contact." Roy answers.
"Bernadette?" Roberta asks.
"Yes she is the only one they communicate with." Roy explains.
"And if they communicate do they by any chance use a radio?" Addy asks.
"Radio is far to primitive for them. They don't need our technology. They communicate with her telepathically." Roy answers.
A woman dressed in a white dress comes up from behind Roy and says "finally they are here. It's happening just as they said it would. Strangers arrived. Among them will be the one the visitors are waiting for. They said he would help us transition to the next reality. And here he is the emmissary." Bernadette says, going from person to person till she reaches Murphy and hugs him.
"Oh, oh OK." Murphy says uncomfortably while everyone else claps.
The team goes into the building they first went to when they arrived while 10K and Addy stay outside to keep the Zs away.
"Hmm, finally some time to ourselves after that long cramped car ride." Addy tells him, while they are sitting on the roof of their car.
"Well not exclusively to ourselves, we got company." 10K tells her.
Addy looks to the direction 10K is looking and says "Hmm, well they are still pretty far away, care to teach me how it's done? Never have shot one at that distance." Addy says.
"Sure, here take this and aim though the scope." 10K tells her handing her his rifle.
"OK, I got them." Addy tells him.
"Now relax, take a deep breath and gently squeeze the trigger." 10K instructs.
She fires but misses.
"Aw shoot, maybe I just don't have the concentration for it." Addy says disappointed.
"You constantly rebuild electronic devices for the team, I'd say you have enough concentration. Look you're just way to tense, here let me help." 10K tells her and massages her shoulders gently.
Addy quietly moans appreciating the treatment causing 10K to blush slightly.
"So, here try again. Aim, breathe and shoot." 10K whispers, now putting his arms around her to help her stay calm and adjust her aim.
Addy shoots and hits one of the Zs in the head.
"Yay." Addy cheers jokingly.
10K takes his rifle back and quickly takes aim at the other, shooting it in the head a second later.
"2239, and with enough practice, it becomes as natural as breathing." 10K tells her grinning.
"Might be but I still think I'll stick with my whacker. But can't hurt to be prepared right? Anyway, that massage, feel free to repeat that anytime you want." Addy says grinning herself.
"Roger that." 10K laughs a little and puts his rifle down, starting to rub her shoulders again.
In the building the team is sitting at a table discussing what is going on, when Roy comes in the room carrying a plate for the microwave "We hope you like teriyaki chicken. It's all we have left." Roy says cheerfully.
"What no beef stroganov?" Murphy complains.
"I'm sure it will be fine." Roberta replies appreciatively.
"How long are we gonna let them think that Murphy is their emmissary?" Vasquez asks.
"As long as they keep giving the emissary food and water. We'll be outta here soon enough." Roberta tells him.
Vasquez picks up the dish and throws it over to Murphy taunting "After you, your emissary."
Murphy opens the food and sniffs at it, grunting and dropping it back on the table.
Roberta sees someone snooping on them and clears her throat, putting her gun on the table asking "Can I help you?"
The man comes over, sitting down in front of her "Dan, Dan Skully and I bet you don't believe any of this Alien exodus crap either do you?" he says.
"No, we don't." Murphy answers.
"Neither do I, these people are nuts." Dan whispers.
"So what are you doing here?" Roberta questions.
"Just passing through, when I came upon these folks. They think they've actually been seeing UFOs and this Bernadette chick has been talking to them." Dan tells them.
"Finally someone who doesn't believe that UFOs are coming to save us." Murphy says.
"Right, so wanna know what's really going on?" Dan asks suspiciously, while Doc starts to eat the food.
"not really." Murphy sighs.
"The aliens are not coming to safe us, cause they're already here." Dan them.
"I told you we did not want to know what's going on." Murphy tells the others.
"They've been here for thousands of years, they're what caused the Zombie virus, they live inside Pluto which isn't really a Planet but rather a hollowed out spaceship." Dan continues.
"OK, well this has all been informative but I'm still back on planet earth so..." Murphy cuts in.
"Oh I know, you think I'm crazy." Dan says.
"Yeah, I do." Murphy tells him bluntly.
"Well these days crazy stays alive, if I was you people I'd get outta here before the Zombie aliens get out and affect us all. Do it now before it's too late and whatever you do don't listen to that Bernadette chick, she'll get you all killed." Dan tells them while leaving the building.
Doc stands up to get away but Roberta just tells him "Doc." and he sits back down.
"OK, the lunatic has taken over the asylum, time to go." Murphy tells them while 10K and Addy sit down at the table, having killed all approaching Zs.
"What about that aircraft thing we saw? That could fly us all outta here." Roberta says.
"There is an air force base here actually. They abandoned it back in the 60s but that's actually just a cover story." 10K tells them.
"Well I'm all for leaving in UFOs, I mean if somebody wants to fly my ass off this god damned planet I'm cool with it." Doc tells them.
"Are you serious? Are we actually talking about going to an abandoned air force base in Roswell to look for an UFO that can fly us all to California?" Murphy asks them doubtful.
"Well if you say it like that." Doc sulks.
"In English?" Murphy says annoyed.
"Look we did see something. And that something was flying, which means there is a ground crew with fuel, food and communication and I wanna get a look at that base." Roberta tells them.
"I can show you." Bernadette tells them, standing behind 10K and Addy.
Startled they all look at her and Vasquez aims his gun at her.
"The hell, how long have you been there?" Murphy asks startled.
"A while." She tells them.
"OK, that's not creepy. "Murphy says sarcastically.
"I can show you where the base is, it's not far. That's where they contact me." Bernadette says.
"The aliens." Roberta says.
"They prefer the term visitors." Bernadette says.
"Who knows, maybe we'll find a plane and a radio." Roberta says.
"And Bigfoot." Murphy taunts.
"Hey don't laugh, my uncle had a Sasquatch paw." 10K tells him and Murphy growls at him in response but gets hit in the arm by Addy "Cut that out." she tells him, getting up with the rest to get in the car with Bernadette showing them the way to the base.
AN: Hey, gonna cut this episode in half, I guess I was too detailed this time, like I am with my Teen Wolf fanfic and wrote too much of the canon based conversation.
