Henry Hobbes and Dr. Schnieder begin to execute their plan. Cast: Scene 1 Capt. Roberts : Pete Lutz Mayor Schumacher : Scott Slagle Lt. Ramsay : Van Riker George Cooper : J Dean Garcia Soldier : Daniel French Scene 2 Charlotte Knox : Ilana Labourene Marie Knox : Katelin Curtis Sen. Harper : Rosanna Jimeno General Adams : Rich Green Sen. Michaels : Anne Ghrist Assistant : Daniel French Scene 3 Samantha Cooper : Victoria Fancki Susan Cooper : Nina Bricko Gov. Lewin : M A Doerfler Sheriff Dietz : Daniel French Nick Hobbes: Joe Brillion Scene 4 Consul Nathaniel : Blake Benlan Vice-Consol Calhoun : Katelin Curtis Benjamin Danton : Spencer J Fredrick Gen. Wilkes : Van Riker Dr. Meighan : Rosanna Jimeno Lars : Daniel French Scene 5 Henry Hobbes : Pete Lutz Dr. Schneider : Spencer J Fredrick Jailer : Nina Bricko   Production, Music, Foley, and Sound Design by Daniel French at Fishbonius Sound Design     Transcipt Generation Zombie Season 2, Chapter 2 “Unknown Expiration Date” by Steven Chisholm   NARRATOR: DZ-6, Porterville Town Hall ROBERTS: You certainly have exquisite taste in furniture, Schumacher. Is this desk of yours mahogany?  SCHUMACHER: Nothing so lavish, I’m afraid. It’s cherry wood. ROBERTS: Nevertheless, a fine piece… Lieutenant Ramsay, you have the battle plans for Embalmersfield on hand? RAMSAY: Yes, sir. SOUND: UNRAVELING OF MAP. ROBERTS: Place it on the desk, if you will. SOUND: SMOOTHING OUT MAP ON DESKTOP. Wonderful. SCHUMACHER: You really do have this raid all planned out. ROBERTS: Yes, but there’s been a slight change in plans. SCHUMACHER: Change in plans? SOUND: APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS. SOLDIER: Pardon the interruption, sir. ROBERTS: What is it, Private? SOLDIER: Corporal Cooper is here to see you. ROBERTS: Let him in. SOUND: SOLDIER DEPARTS ROOM. GEORGE ENTERS. George, how can I help you? GEORGE: It’s done.  ROBERTS: Yes, I can smell the smoke on your uniform. You did a fine job, Corporal. GEORGE: (TIMID) Thank you, sir. Proud to serve the Life Guard. ROBERTS: I hope you understand why I had you do that. GEORGE: To prove my loyalty to the ULZ… And to preserve the sanctity of the living. ROBERTS: Yes, but you must understand what lead Leanne to such… unfortunate circumstances. Carelessness, sure. But we wouldn’t be discussing her premature departure if not for the actions of your sister. It was not I that forced your hand, nor was it your own free will. Samantha, your own blood, was the one that set the blaze. It was treason that reduced Leanne to ashes. Do you understand, Corporal? GEORGE: I understand that she must pay for her crimes. ROBERTS: Good. Now that I’m assured of your allegiance, I must say, you’ve arrived at the perfect time. GEORGE: You have an assignment for me, sir? ROBERTS: Oh, yes. One that involves Mr. Schumacher, here. SCHUMACHER: Me? ROBERTS: You see this beautiful desk, Corporal? Cherry wood, I’ve been told by Schumacher. Where once this material was a great tree, producing oxygen for us living folk, now it is mere lifeless timber. But despite being felled, it still serves a purpose. Not nearly as noble a purpose as when it was living, but nonetheless, it functions as a desk on which to plan our annexation of Embalmersfield. Schumacher is much like this tree. He once lived a nobler life but had that privilege stripped away by undeath. Despite his breathless existence, he’s still here to serve a purpose, and it’s up to you, George, to see that he fulfills his obligation to the living.  SCHUMACHER: I gave you Porterville. What more can I do? SOUND: UNRAVELING PAPER. RAMSAY: Captain, here are the plans you asked for. ROBERTS: Thank you, Lieutenant… Corporal, would you kindly take a look at these? SOUND: ROBERTS HANDING PAPER TO GEORGE. GEORGE: It’s… If you don’t mind my asking, what am I looking at, Captain? RAMSAY: Allow me to explain, George. This line here, this is you and Schumacher. GEORGE: You have us… You have us heading to Embalmersfield? Alone?  ROBERTS: Correct. SCHUMACHER: As devoted as I am to your cause, you can’t expect me to go on this suicide mission. RAMSAY: This isn’t a preliminary attack. At least, not in the way you two are envisioning. George, here, is simply to escort you to the outer perimeter of Embalmersfield. A chaperone of sorts to ensure that you’re not beset upon by any free-roaming Life Guards. SCHUMACHER: Am I some offering to the enemy? RAMSAY: You’re a refugee. SCHUMACHER: I don’t understand. ROBERTS: Schumacher… You’re going to seek sanctuary in the city of Embalmersfield. You’re going to be the mayor who braved the battle and escaped. And when they welcome you with warm blankets and hot cocoa – or whatever it is your kind do for comfort – you’re going to cozy up to Governor Lewin. She’s no doubt caught wind of the annexation of Porterville, and who better to trust with their defense plans than someone who’s faced the might of the ULZ themselves? Schumacher, I’m once again asking you to be our man on the inside.  SCHUMACHER: I… ROBERTS: I’m confident your faith in the ULZ has not wavered. SCHUMACHER: No. No, it has not. ROBERTS: Thank you. And you, Corporal. I know I can trust you with delivering the mayor to his destination. GEORGE: Yes, sir. ROBERTS: Excellent. Ramsay has been kind enough to outline your route. Follow that path closely, and you shouldn’t run into trouble. Do you have any questions? GEORGE: Yes, Captain. When do we start? ROBERTS: Meet Ramsay at sunset by the northwest entrance to Porterville. He’ll get you both situated. GEORGE: Will do, sir. ROBERTS: You’re dismissed, Corporal. SOUND: DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS. SCHUMACHER: And me? ROBERTS: You’re free to leave, too, Schumacher. SCHUMACHER: Okay. I’ll see you in Embalmersfield, Roberts. ROBERTS: Look forward to it. SOUND: DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS. ROBERTS: Oh, one more thing, Mayor. SCHUMACHER: What’s that? SOUND: GUNSHOT. SCHUMACHER: What the–What the hell did you do that for?! ROBERTS: You can’t expect them to think you got out of Porterville completely unscathed, can you?    NARRATOR: DZ-1, a crisis room in the White House MARIE: (YAWN) Tired. CHARLOTTE: You’re tired? You can take a nap right here. MARIE: I want my bed. CHARLOTTE: You can have your bed after I’m through talking with my friends, here. HARPER: Mrs. Knox, pardon my manners, but is it necessary that your child be privy to our conversations? MARIE: Privy! CHARLOTTE: If only there was someone I could trust to watch her. HARPER: Someone you can trust? Madam, is everything okay? MICHAELS: What about her usual caretaker, Margaret?  MARIE: Bad Margaret! SOUND: DOOR OPENING. ADAMS: I apologize for my tardiness, Mrs. Knox. CHARLOTTE: Apology not necessary. But, before you come in, can I have a quick word with you outside? ADAMS: Of course. CHARLOTTE: Excuse me, please. Come on, Marie. SOUND: FOOTSTEPS, AS CHARLOTTE MOVES TOWARD CRISIS ROOM ENTRANCE. DOOR CLOSING. CHARLOTTE: Has she said anything, yet? ADAMS: She’s remaining tight-lipped, Madam, but I’m confident she’s withholding something from us. We’ve just begun a search of her quarters. If something comes up, you’ll be the first to know. CHARLOTTE: How long can we reasonably hold Margaret? MARIE: (UNCOMFORTABLE GROAN) ADAMS: We’re certainly running out of time. Legally, she can remain detained for another twelve or so hours. CHARLOTTE: Then let’s hope we can get something out of her by then… Come on, let’s get back in there. SOUND: DOOR OPENING. FOOTSTEPS TO SEATS AT TABLE. Mrs. Speaker. Senator. You both have my sincerest apologies for the delay. ADAMS: Speaker Harper. Senator Michaels. Always a pleasure. HARPER: Welcome, General. MICHAELS: Yes, hello. MARIE: Hi! CHARLOTTE: I called this meeting to discuss any further intelligence you all may have gathered. As you’re all well aware, the Vice President remains on a diplomatic mission in the Zombie’s Republic of China. With her absence extending until the eve of the centenary, it’s fallen on us to determine our next steps. HARPER: I’ll reiterate what I said during our last meeting, as I’m sure the Senate Majority Leader will agree, I believe appropriate action is to quell this rogue Life Guard unit and seek reparations after. As Danton said, there’s no need to declare war. MICHAELS: Even if you wanted to, Madam, you do not have the votes in Congress to pass a formal declaration of war. HARPER: But speaking of Danton, I’ve yet to establish any communication with him since touching down in the ULZ. Though, with President Knox’s recent correspondence, it appears negotiations are still underway, despite this misstep from LZ-4. ADAMS: Misstep? With all due respect, Mrs. Speaker, it was a god-damned genocide.  HARPER: And you’re seeing to it that it doesn’t happen again. Am I correct? ADAMS: The 40th infantry will touch down in Embalmersfield within the hour. But further lives are at stake. If the Consul is unable to gain control over this rogue regiment, there is sure to be bloodshed. MICHAELS: Congress is not yet prepared to declare war, General. ADAMS: Did you hear any utterance of that word leave my lips, Senator? MICHAELS: No, I did not, but we’ve received reassurance from President Knox himself that the ULZ has this situation under control. Let us not also forget that Embalmerfield is also receiving the help of LZ-11. ADAMS: And if evidence points to the contrary? MICHAELS: Then you will have the full support of Congress to do as you please. Just know that the commander-in-chief also has a say. I’ve communicated our response to LZ-1, and they are aware of our accompanying reinforcements in Embalmersfield. Both regiments have received orders not to engage with one another and to instead address the threat from LZ-4. ADAMS: Pardon me if I take less credence in their reassurances. A division of their army has lain waste to a town full of innocents, after all. HARPER: The time for drastic steps is not now. I think we all agree, our top priority is stamping out this band of saboteurs. CHARLOTTE: Our top priority is getting my husband back. MARIE

Connie Bozeman and Chief Amil encounter a floor of Severance Inc that confirms we are on another plane of existence. Cast: Overseer : Frank Guglielmelli Secretary : Rosanna Jimeno Connie Bozeman : Katelin Curtis Chief Amil : Van Riker The Unemployable : Spencer J Fredrick Main Frame : Steve Katz & Daniel French Production, Music, Foley, and Sound Design by Daniel French at Fishbonius Sound Design       Transcript:   CORPORATE PUNISHMENT EPISODE 8: FOURTH FLOOR – INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY   Written by Steven Chisholm   Characters: Overseer Secretary Connie Chief Amil Unemployable IT Tech Main Frame   SOUND: SUBTLE STATIC BUILDS IN INTENSITY UNTIL ABRUPT CUTOFF. SECRETARY: (HUFF) Sorry I’m late. Jan cornered me in the breakroom to talk about the weather. (IMITATION) “If tomorrow isn’t shorts weather, then I’m going to be short with the weather.” What does she think? That I’m interested in her senior center comedy routine? Nothing more hackneyed than weather-related office talk, right?  OVERSEER: (STRESSED) Please stop mentioning the weather, Secretary. SECRETARY: I wasn’t talking about the weather itself, just the notion of office talk lacking substance– OVERSEER: Please, just stop. Can’t you see you’re triggering my claustrophobia? SECRETARY: Claustrophobia? What the hell are you talking about? OVERSEER: Don’t make me say it. SECRETARY: Say what? OVERSEER: (SIGH) The clouds, Secretary. The weather outside, let me guess… it’s overcast? SECRETARY: Yeah, but I don’t see any reason for– OVERSEER: I get claustrophobic when it’s overcast. It’s like the clouds are trapping me in a bubble. SECRETARY: But you work in five-by-five room all day. Is that not triggering? OVERSEER: Well, at least I know there’s a way out of this room. SECRETARY: Are you saying you get claustrophobic because the clouds prevent you from… um, leaving the planet? OVERSEER: I don’t want to talk about this anymore. SECRETARY: Do you think clouds are solid objects? OVERSEER: I told you, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. SECRETARY: What reason would you even have to leave the planet? In fact, what opportunity would you have– OVERSEER: I said enough, Secretary. SECRETARY: Fine. Fine. It’s just… Never mind. Let’s just get on with it. OVERSEER: So, you agree we should nuke the clouds? SECRERTARY: Huh? OVERSEER: Oh, you’re referring to the tape. Yes, let’s roll. Just take a seat over here, Secretary. (CLEARS THROAT) (HOT ON MIKE) Subject number 2496G. Connie Bozeman. Date: Friday, October 8th. Time: Irrelevant. Location: Level four, information technology. SOUND: STATIC. CONNIE: Woah! Look at this, Chief! It’s so… retrowave. CHIEF AMIL: It’s so dark yet so bright. CONNIE: You ever seen Tron? Never mind. Of course, you haven’t. But this sure looks the same.  CHIEF AMIL: I’ll take your word for it, Chosen One. SOUND: ELEVATOR SIREN. CONNIE: Ah, right. Let’s get off this elevator before it crushes us. CHIEF AMIL: Right behind you. SOUND: SIREN CEASES AND DOORS CLOSE. CONNIE: This is so cool! I used to watch Tron all the time as a kid. Deadly Discs, Light Cycles, Cindy Morgan! CHIEF AMIL: Who? CONNIE: Yori! CHIEF AMIL: Oh… Wait, who? CONNIE: Lora Baines! CHIEF AMIL: Um, perhaps we should focus on the task at hand. CONNIE: Oh, right… But look ahead, Chief. There’s a group of people gliding around on some sort of neon skates. Throwing discs at glowing bricks. And oh, over there! That looks like some sort of spin on Space Paranoids. I have a feeling this challenge is going to be a blast! CHIEF AMIL: Connie, you’re scaring me. CONNIE: This place is enormous, Chief! Who knows what other games they have? And this neon aesthetic is really attuning to my vibe, y’know? CHIEF AMIL: Connie, look out! SOUND: SYNTHESIZED ICE SKATES APPROACHING. CONNIE: Woah! I have to get me a pair of those! IT TECH: Halt! How did you bypass the access point? CHIEF AMIL: Connie, prepare yourself. CONNIE: The elevator just spit us out here, but hey, how do I get me a pair of– IT TECH: We don’t have the bandwidth to host the likes of you. CONNIE: (SIGH) Fine, then can you point us in the direction of the elevator so we can, uh, free up space on your, uh, hard drive, or whatever? IT TECH: Now that you’ve penetrated our firewall, we must set you up an account before clearing you of our cache. CONNIE: Hey, wait a minute. I’m no computer expert, but even I know that’s not correct. IT TECH: Silence! CONNIE: Okay, sheesh. CHIEF AMIL: (WHIPSER) Connie, what do we do? CONNIE: I guess we just do what the guy says. Set up an account or whatever. CHIEF AMIL: I don’t know if that’s such a good idea. CONNIE: How is it I’ve become more accustomed to this nonsensical demi-plane than you? You’re the one that’s lived here longer. CHIEF AMIL: It’s just that… No, you’re right. IT TECH: Are you two finished syncing your data centers? CONNIE: Yeah, sure. IT TECH: Then, follow me. SOUND: DEPARTING FOOTSTEPS TRANSITIONING TO STATIC. SECRETARY: I guess it was only a matter of time before Connie’s–I mean, Subject 2496G’s mind broke. OVERSEER: I don’t know, I was just as much in love with Tron when I was a kid. Witnessing something so similar in the flesh would make me a little giddy myself. SECRETARY: What is Tron anyway? I’ve only heard it mentioned in passing. Never seen it myself. OVERSEER: You’ve never seen Tron?! SECRETARY: That’s what I just said. OVERSEER: Oh, my god. You’re missing out. Tron is a movie about this hacker who falls into a computer and is trapped in a digital world.  SECRETARY: Falls… into a computer? OVERSEER: Yeah, and he’s imprisoned in this cybernectic plane that happens to be obsessed with these gladiatorial-type games. It’s a must-see. SECRETARY: Surprised a claustrophobe like you would enjoy such a premise. OVERSEER: What do you mean? SECRETARY: If you’re scared of an overcast sky, imagine being trapped in a computer. OVERSEER: No… Oh, no. How could you, Secretary? I… I need a paper bag. Hand me a paper bag. SECRETARY: Here. I have this plastic bag from Sal’s. SOUND: OVERSEER SNATCHES BAG AND STARTS BREATHING INTO IT. Not sure if a plastic bag has the same effect as paper though. SOUND: OVERSEER REMOVES PLASTIC BAG FROM LIPS. OVERSEER: (SHARP INAHLE) Are you trying to kill me? I couldn’t breathe with that thing over my mouth. SECRETARY: What? You were the one holding it–Never mind. I’m sorry. I’m glad you were smart enough to not suffocate to death, but we should really get back to the tape. Look, it seems like they’re coming up on something. Some colorful neon cube of some sort. OVERSEER: (CATCHING BREATH) Huh? Oh, okay. Let’s tune back in. SOUND: STATIC. IT TECH: Before us is the blockchain, wherein resides the Main Frame. CONNIE: Guess that explains the cube shape. CHIEF AMIL: Are we going inside this thing? IT TECH: Yes, we need to set you both up with accounts, and the main frame is the only one who can do so. CHIEF AMIL: Well, is there a door? SOUND: AUTOMATIC DOOR. CONNIE: Woah, so futuristic! CHIEF AMIL: Automatic doors? CONNIE: Well, I mean, automatic doors with neon lights. IT TECH: Step inside with me. SOUND: FOOTSTEPS. CONNIE: Wow, what is that pillar? IT TECH: That is… The Main Frame. SOUND: POWERING UP COMPUTER. CHIEF AMIL: Look, Connie! Some sort of holographic visage! MAIN FRAME: Who has awakened me from sleep mode? IT TECH: It is I, Almighty Main Frame. I have come to you in hopes you could set up accounts for these new users I have with me. MAIN FRAME: Did you submit a ticket? IT TECH: I, uh… Well, I just thought that maybe you could, uh… MAIN FRAME: No ticket?! IT TECH: Well, you see… I was going to but, uh… MAIN FRAME: Task Manager? IT TECH: No, please! No! It was a mistake. MAIN FRAME: End task. IT TECH: (PIXELATED SCREAM) CONNIE: (GASP) CHIEF AMIL: Woah! CONNIE: Where’d he go? What did you do to him? MAIN FRAME: Where all failures go… The trash bin. CHIEF AMIL: Seems we’re dealing with a tough customer this time around, Connie. MAIN FRAME: Potential new users, for what purpose have you found yourselves before me? CONNIE: Listen, uh, Main Frame, we’re just– MAIN FRAME: Please, my motherboard calls me Main Frame. You can call me… M’n’Fer. [pronounced em-en-effer] CONNIE: Uh, okay, M’n’Fer. Um, we’re trying to find the elevator, and then we’ll be out of your hair… or, uh, filaments. MAIN FRAME: For that, you will need to be registered for new accounts. CONNIE: Okay, and how do we do that? MAIN FRAME: First, you must read our Terms and Conditions. CONNIE: (SIGH) Can I just scroll to the bottom and click agree? MAIN FRAME: No! You must read the entire agreement before proceeding. CONNIE: (SIGH) Okay, where is it? MAIN FRAME: Look at the wall behind you. CONNIE: Oh, my god. This will take me ages to get through. CHIEF AMIL: I believe in you, Chosen One. CONNIE: Believe in me? Chief, I’m sure you have to read this, too.  CHIEF AMIL: No, I… I’m not worthy of the task. I don’t think– MAIN FRAME: All that desire to hold accounts must read and agree to the sacred Terms and Conditions. CHIEF AMIL: Uh, fine. CONNIE: All right, you ready, Chief? CHIEF AMIL: Don’t know if I ever will be, but let’s get started. CONNIE & CHIEF (MONOTONE) This agreement hereby governs your use of Severance, Inc.’s AMIL: information technology services, including access to the elevator, virtual help desk, and vending machines. Our services are available– SOUND: STATIC. OVERSEER: And I’ve had just about enough of that. Let’s fast forward a bit. SOUND: FAST FORWARD TAPE. SECRETARY: Aw, I actually wanted to listen in. I was hoping the Terms and Conditions would fill me in on what’s actually going on in this plane. What its purpose is. OVERSEER: Oh, you’re one of those people? You actually read the Terms and Conditions? SECRETARY: Yes, normally. OVERSEER: On second thought, I probably should do the same. I agreed to the Terms and Conditions of some dating app, which apparently wound up being a Marriage Certificate instead. I’m ten years divorced and still paying alimony to Anastasia and Little Fiodor of Moldova. SECRETARY: Mhmm… Anyway, I think they’re nearing the end of the agreement. OVERSEER: Oh, you’re right. Let’s tune back in. SOUND: STATIC. CONNIE & CHIEF

"Adventures of the Federated Tec"! A series of 8 initial episodes of 7 dramatized stories featuring Dashiell Hammett's nameless detective. We call him the Federated Tec ("Tec" being short for detective), but you probably know him as something else. We've chosen Hammett's first few stories that have moved into the public domain, and have done our best to stay true to the originals -- and why not? The originals are just fine, as far as we're concerned. So here is episode seven, part 2 of "The Tenth Clew", adapted by Pete Lutz from Hammett's sixth published Op story, in 1924. We hope you enjoy it and will join us for future episodes.  ADVENTURES OF THE FEDERATED TEC WAS CONCEIVED BY PETE LUTZ AND DEVELOPED BY PETE LUTZ AND MARK SLADE.
