After being abandoned by the rescue chopper, Artabanes, Azira, and Lindblum managed to escape the zombie horde and make their way over to the neighboring town, picking up a detective called Dexter on the way. They were joined by Tindrli; what they thought was a fatal disembowelment turned out to be just a flesh wound. Without sexy tentacles to distract them, will our plucky band of survivors manage to make it to the chopper this time?
Here are our four vets:
And the newcomer:
Be nice to him, everybody!
Relationships
The greener the better. Arrows mean that a survivor is prejudiced against the other person, and hexagons mean that both are prejudiced against each other. You can use rumors to control relationships, but you can only spread it about one person once a day, and it might backfire. If relationships get too low, a myriad of negative consequences might happen. For example, if you put two people with bad relationships on the same job, they might start hating each other even more. If a relationship gets too bad, your survivors will fight and injure each other.
Here are a list of rumors that you can spread about a survivor. Options are in green.
Connection: [Insert name here] and
Survivor are distant cousins. They lost contact many years ago because
of a family feud/their families moved apart.

Actions
Here is a list of all current possible actions and how many stars each person has for each. The more stars you have, the better you are at an action. The number of stars and the availability of actions will change depending on a variety of factors, and I will try to update you if there is a significant change.
Certain actions will have different options, which will be in
green.

Holy shit, Azira. The poor guy is barely good for anything except for making loud noises - the trauma of nearly getting trampled to death by a rampaging horde of zombies must have addled his brain. He's even more useless than Lindblum the Librarian now, which I thought was impossible!
In contrast, Tindrli seems to have recovered fully from being gored by two zombies. He's the most consistently useful survivor across the board!
But yeah, have at it, my friends. Where should we go, what should we do, you know the drill. Apart from searching the starting location for at least one hour, I'm not making anything mandatory. THIS TIME! WE SHALL! TRIUMPH!
