Canada 67
​

Welcome to Canada. The Apocalypse occurred four years ago. Which apocalypse? That's a nice question. Well in 2052, the Oil Crisis plunged the world into chaos. The last of the underground oil was depleted and all of the world's nations relied upon on their oil reserves to sustain them until they could find an alternative to oil. After years of economic turmoil and anarchy, a provisional Canadian government arose out of Alberta, Canada, called the New Albertan Commonwealth. Led by Prefect Jansen, the Commonwealth stretches all the way from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Winnipegosis.

You are John Miller. You were a mechanic pre-2052. You've been wandering around the lawless Canadian wilderness for a few years now. You've settled in a cabin along Lake Brazeau, often fishing and hunting birds to sustain yourself. You've begun growing carrots, turnips and potatoes, and even have a small chicken coop with two hens and a rooster.

Although you live comfortably in your spruce cottage, you've begun to run low on ammunition. You've gathered a pike, a M4A1, and an assortment of canned goods, dried meats, salted fish, and bottled waters to make your journey from your cottage along the beach of Lake Brazeau. It's 66 kilometers from your cabin to the nearest town, Nordegg. This trip is estimated to take eleven hours.

It looks like it's around 10'o'clock. The sun's gone down and the wolves are beginning to howl. You've managed to find yourself an SUV parked along the highway. It's rusted and dusty, no doubt from the years of negligence. After using a lockpick and a screwdriver, you go ahead and settle in for the night.

Six hours later...
​

You awake, fully rested from your nap in the SUV. You take a bite out of some salted trout and eat some stale M&Ms from a bag of trail mix. You take out your plastic toothbrush and a jar of homemade toothpaste and begin to brush your teeth when you see a moose walk onto the road about sixty meters in front of you.

What do you do?
A. Pull out your M4A1 and shoot the moose
B. Leave it alone and continue brushing your teeth
C. Scare it so it'll go away
D. Try to kill it with your pike
