What is your choice?
Tell me more about the power plant?
You look first at Tanner then to Marcus before asking, "tell me more about this power plant?"
Tanner points the shotgun again at Marcus and instructs him to answer your question. Marcus hesitates, but talks, realizing he has no other option.
"The Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, it's located just off Interstate 84 and I-684. It's more like 40 miles rather, but with the roads all jammed and plugged with cars it can't be done! There is no way that we could reach the plant and even if we could, I can't promise to be able to shut it down."
Tanner looks annoyed and says, "40 miles is much worse than 50. To escape the radiation we'd have to be almost 150 miles away from the plant. Our only option is to make the trip to the plant, for the sake of everybody here," he says waving his hand at the small worn-out group you've formed. "And, for anybody else who survived the Black Tuesday virus."
Marcus takes the floor again, "when Indian Point goes, it's going to make Chernobyl look like nothing. I don't know how many people survived but I do know this..." he paused, "Indian Point will instantly kill anybody in the first 10 mile radius, and for every 10 miles away from the plant the effects of radiation will lessen. Anybody that is within 100 miles of this place, that includes us, will die a long and painful ****. The radiation alone will cause so much poisoning that you'll probably spit up blood for 3 months!"
"Well, why the hell don't you argue with me!" Tanner burst out in anger. "You know what we're up against, why must you insist on working against us?!"
Marcus remained silent as Tanner aimed the gun squarely at his head. You notice the whole time that Tanner's nerves are steal and the gun doesn't even shake in his hands. This man may be old, but you know he is very dangerous, much more than Marcus would ever be.
"Alright old man, I'll do it. But, he comes with me," Marcus says pointing his finger at you.
Tanner looks at you with his eyes which appear to be cold steel. "I guess that leaves you in a bad spot. The choice however is yours to make. Well Mr. Alex, Do you save the world or perish with it?"
What are you going to do?
