Zombie Taxi Ghost:

The zombie taxi driver was another ghost who escaped after the explosion. It entered the taxi through the exhaust pipe from the sewers and then assumed a physical form. When a passenger entered the cab asking to be taken to the Columbia building on 57th st saying "I'm in a hurry, so let's not dawdle" he took it seriously. The ghost drove like a madman to their destination causing accidents along the way. Can your team stop him?

Are we good here?

[Delitealex]

we were waiting for 1 more completion. I dont know if they are still playing

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Have you reached out to Carmen? I do have backup players if I need to reach out to one. Try to reach out to Carmen. If you don't get a response in a couple of days, we will get a backup player. You do have the option to continue after December. I want you to have that option if you want it.

[Delitealex]

I wanted to continue but don't know if any of the others still do.

[Delitealex]

I sent Carmen a message

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

Delitealex, if nobody else wants to continue... The Gatekeepers have been missing a player for a while (I just found this out today). Maybe there is an option there. Seriously, folks I had two backups and nobody was telling me they needed one.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Sorry I’m here. I was waiting for an answer in the Q&A. I’ll finish my book tonight

[Melissa]

I'm still game!

So we just need to hear from Jade about continuing. Has anyone contacted Jade? This is the only team that hasn't told me whether they are continuing or not.

[Delitealex]

I tried to message Jade but it said they aren't receiving messages.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'll have my book finished in a bit and will post

[Donna, Chief Inspector]

FYI... I sent Jade a message on Dec 26th. If you don't hear back soon, you may want to consider a replacement. There are 2 backups left in message 2 of the signup page that haven't been taken by other teams.

[Melissa]

Sounds good. Thanks for your help!
