Scenario
Children of Men
Nothing is hunting you. Everything has simply stopped.
No one has been born in eighteen years. There is no plague and no invasion — only a species that quietly ran out of future and started behaving accordingly. The danger is entirely other people, and the state they have decided to become.
What kills you
Checkpoints, paperwork, and the people who enforce both.
Rules
- 01Be boring. Be documented. Be elsewhere.
- 02Cash only, and never all of it.
- 03Know which border is currently the kind one.
- 04Do not be memorable.
The kit
5 itemsIn a world of checkpoints, paper is the only thing that makes you real.
Everything you own has to survive being searched.
Seeing the checkpoint before it sees you is the entire skill.
A dead phone at a border is a very long afternoon.
Not waterproofing. Camouflage, of the kind that works in a city.
