Characters may choose to reinforce a shelter, build furniture, improve heating, create a washing area, organize storage, map a safer path, or spend scarce material on comfort.\n\nOther movement may come from a radio signal, signs of another survivor, a possible trade, migrating animals, changed infected patterns, smoke in the distance, or discovery of a useful site. Contact can become cooperation, caution, avoidance, or conflict.

These stages can overlap, stall or return to earlier assumptions. Detectives work several responsibilities and receive imperfect information; competence does not require instant certainty.\n\nEvidence is cumulative and contextual.

Forensic work requires collection, documentation, processing and comparison.

The captive needs water, food, sanitation, sleep, medical care and tolerable temperature. The captor needs a place, time, access and decisions about communication.
