Sorry, Zombies 101 is a few months down the road for me. [Kyle wills a small forcefield around Robin so he's protected from bites, before he blasts more of them apart.] Any ideas how to keep them permanently down?

[hackingyoursensors]

We have to keep them from reassembling... damage them so bad that they can't.

[It dawns on him.]

Fire! Of course!

[imaginate]

Got anything flammable? Liquid? Propane? [Kyle rings up a flamethrower. It's obvious he can't actually generate real fire.]

[hackingyoursensors]

I have explosive Batarangs. Can you see anything I could use as an accelerant from up there?

[imaginate]

[Quick scan with the ring.] Not here. There might be some in Fire Sector.

[hackingyoursensors]

Makes sense. Come on.

[Dick why are you running Kyle can fly.]

[imaginate]

Robin? [He keeps pace and rings up a small motorcycle.] I can get us there faster.

[hackingyoursensors]

Right.

[Hey, he's used to supplying his own ride. Or using the Bio Ship.]

[He climbs on and is flying through the streets expertly. Luckily he knows all of the backways and alternate routes because there are a lot of zombies.]

[imaginate]

[Kyle's right next to him, memorising as much of the locale as he can.

When they're over Fire, he slows down and the ring starts scanning for supplies.] There. [Descends.] There's some in here.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He dismounts immediately, going over to the small building. Probably holding leftover supplies for the bonfires.]

Cover me.

[He carefully opens the door, sincerely hoping a zombie doesn't pop out. He would normally scout the area first, but there's no time or breathing room to do so.]

[imaginate]

[Kyle stays near the door, ring glowing slightly, ready to blast apart anything that might come their way.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Dick scans the room for any sign of movement before entering.]

[Oh look, a nice pile of firewood.

...and a small book of matches. He pockets it because why not. Just in case the Batarang doesn't do its job and he needs a plan b]

Alright, we've got the supplies, now we need a real plan.

[imaginate]

[Kyle briefly looks over to where Dick is standing, his eyes falling on the firewood.] We could set a trap - lead them into an open area and use the wood to make a bonfire. [Hm. He hoped there was an area wide enough to that the fire wouldn't spread or damage anything except the jiangshi.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Thoughtfully:] We'll call that plan A.

There's an open plaza not too far from here. If we're going to lure the zombies anywhere, that'd be the best place.

The question is, can they tell if we've set a trap.

[imaginate]

From what I've seen, I don't think so. They seem too preoccupied with wanting to bite us. [He nods, firmly.] We should find some propane for Plan B.

[hackingyoursensors]

What's plan B?

[imaginate]

[Kyle rings up a very large flamethrower and flashes Robin a very wicked grin.]

[hackingyoursensors]

[Oh he likes the way you think, Kyle.]

Are you sure that shouldn't be plan A?

[imaginate]

No, it's too more time-consuming, and I'll need refills. [Flamethrower vanishes.] We should aim to take out as many as we can in one strike.

[hackingyoursensors]

Then we'll have to play it smart.

We'll need somewhere contained, but away from the kedan safehouses. We set the trap, lure them in, and light it.

[imaginate]

Got it. [Beat.] I can scan the area to make sure there's no civilians - and since they'll see me anyway, I can lure them in.

[hackingyoursensors]

While you do that, I'll get the trap itself set up. First, we'll have to find a contained area, though.

[imaginate]

Leave that to me. [He retreats out of the warehouse, and makes a small bubble for Robin to hop into, if he wants.] I'll find one from the air, and you can get set up. Send up a flare when you're ready, I'll come.

[hackingyoursensors]

[He hops in.]

Fresh out of flares. And I don't have a ring.

[Now in problem solving mode. Noise won't work... a signal. A flag would be hard to see (and, frankly, hard to make in a hurry). Smoke bomb? Light a nearby signal? But it couldn't be too nearby...]

[imaginate]

No problem. [He rings up a small flare gun and hands it to Robin, while they're flying over looking for somewhere decent to set the trap.] One-time use only.
