{{Title: Braintree, Essex. 3 weeks ago...}}
[[Vampire Crocodile is watching telly, which displays static.]]
TV Announcer: The dead walk in Essex! For some unknown reason the corpses of the deceased have been animated and are currently destroying the whole of Essex! They seem to be entirely confined to the eastern county, immediately turning around when they reach the borders of the surrounding counties. Observers in Suffolk have noted that the zombies will actually turn around at the sight of the county line...
Vampire Crocodile: LESTAT'S FLACCID PENIS! I know what I must do!

{{Title Bar: Present Day!}}
[[The two crocs that were whacked are watching telly, which displays static.]]
TV Announcer: Commander Cromwell continues to promise swift disposal of the zombie presence in Essex. Optimistic projections suggest we can reclaim over 90% of the county within two weeks. {{The voice continues in smaller print.}} Still no information on the large palace that has been built in the public square of Braintree, though new footage leads us to believe it was built by the undead.
Turtleneck Croc: Stellar! We'll be out of here in a few weeks!
Loudspeaker: Okay, I'm back. I've researched this "wheelbarrow" of yours, and as far as I can tell it's essentially a reverse butterfly. Here's the description--
Turtleneck Croc: Haven't you heard?! The zombies are nearly gone! We don't need to seclude ourselves any more!
Loudspeaker: "Position yourself behind your mate and support her legs while she supports her fron..." Wait, what?"
Lady Croc: It was just on the news!
Loudspeaker: But it's up to us to repopulate the Earth!
Lady Croc (pointing at telly): NO! THE ZOMBIES WERE LOCAL TO ESSEX!
Loudspeaker: ... ... ... Then we should repopulate Essex.
Turtleneck Croc: WHAT? That's mad! Let us go!
[[Loudspeaker is shown silent.]] {{Dramatic tension!}}
Lady Croc: Hello?
[[Loudspeaker is shown silent again.]]
[[Vampire Croc is shown facing away from a microphone, a disgusted look on his countenance. There is a flip chart with "Organic Livestock Breeding Program" written on the top and a simple inverse-triangle diagram of a planned trait breeding system.]]
{{It's not actually there, but you can just hear Vamp Croc: Feh!}}
