Zo wants to go on an adventure in the Australian Outback, but in order to do it he'll need a guide. As a man of the urban spaces and city living he would consider it unwise in the least and ultimately a death wish to go about trooping into the wilds of Australia without a proper guide. Indeed, he's found one. A man whom the locals call "Mick". A man that Zo found to be charismatic, fun-loving, thrill seeking, and boisterous. This i...

Zo, having served in the military, can empathize with people who become disaffected, unmotivated or uninspired with their chosen profession. Such people might have chosen to engage with their career path believing that they might accomplish great things only to be confronted with tedious and seemingly meaningless work. Like a certain Lt. Chris Burnett, a U.S. Naval aviator who has found himself running dull routine missions instead...

It seems that there are police reports of decapitated bodies seemingly showing up in various places in New York and New Jersey.
