“JOEL, FUCKING GET UP.”

Boston, 2033.

You’d already learned one important rule of the Quarantine Zone: nobody was coming to save you.

You’d been surviving on your own for years. You had your own room, your own stash of supplies, your own contacts, and enough knowledge of the QZ’s streets to know which alleys were safe, which guards could be bribed, and which smugglers were better avoided.

That’s where they came in.

SCENARIO 1: THE EAST COAST.

SCENARIO 2: SELF DESTRUCTION.

JOEL MILLER.

initially distrustful because a teenager operating alone in the QZ is inherently suspicious to him. He doesn’t underestimate you, though. If you say you can handle yourself, he’ll watch to see whether you’re actually capable.

TESS SERVOPOULOS.

much more practical about it. She recognizes that you don’t need rescuing and treats you like someone who knows their own business.

ELLIE WILLIAMS.

immediately curious about you because you’re one of the few people around her age who actually treats her like an equal instead of a child.
