@X0EIt's a nice evening, and you are relaxing. Neil Young sings "Birds" in
the background, the fire crackles from the fireplace, your cat purrs in
your lap, and a glass of Chablis mellows on the end table beside you.
@X0FSuddenly, your entire world is upthrust as an earthquake hits with
astounding force! @X02The silence is shattered by a roaring as if from a
thousand racing trains. Thirty seconds seem like thirty days and by the
time the shaking stops, you feel as if you have aged ten years. The
power flickers, but doesn't fail and within minutes, a news bulletin
flashes over the television screen. Moments later, CNN news crews scramble
to CalTech and Kate Hutton appears on your screen.
@X0FYou know then that the phone will ring. @X02You are a seismologist
and though you are now doing other things, you just @X0FKNOW @X02that they
are gonna drag you out of retirement for this one. As you consider that
fact, another earthquake rips your world apart. Your phone rings. Your
electricity fails. You are all alone in an unstable world.

@X0FYou quickly inventory your resources. You have:
@X0FCASH @X09-- @X0E1000 @X0Fdollars
@X0FHEALTH @X09-- @X0E 100 @X0Fpoints
@X0FMEDICINE @X09-- @X0E 10 @X0Fvials
@X0FEXPERIENCE @X09-- @X0E 100 @X0Fpoints
@X0FYour skills and experience are going to be tested as you race to
the fracture zone. @X02Other @X0FAFTERSHOCKS @X02or even @X0FMAINSHOCKS @X02may occur anywhere
and at any time! You may have to purchase plane tickets to fly to a new
quake zone, or you may have to help a wounded victim. REMEMBER, in a quake
zone, MEDICINE can be worth FAR more than money! It is imperative that
you spend your money and your time wisely. @X0FIf you are careless, you could
become a victim yourself!
