Escape From Treasure Island
The story is a flashback by Zeb, the mysterious escapee who told Marcus that Darryl is alive. In the aftermath of the destruction of the DHS, he writes a blog post on Xnet, chronicling his experience while he was in Treasure Island.
Before the explosion, Zeb was just like any LARP-ger. He would go online to update himself on all the Harajuku Fun Madness clues, he had already figured out all of the past puzzles and he has all the gadgets and gizmos that any successful LARPer should have. He had his wifi detector, his jailbroken cellphone and his laptop with all the hacks and codes that he would need in order to win the game. Zeb, above all other LARPers, has an upper hand. He is a college student who is majoring in Computer Engineer. A geek at heart, he decided to skip his Logical Algorithms class that fateful day in order to solve the new Harajuku Fun Madness puzzle.
Zeb drove his car all alone going to San Francisco. His team, comprised of his fellow geeky college peers, did not want to skip their classes for that "stupid game". Zeb, however, was determined to be the first one to finish the puzzle. He drives past the Bay Bridge towards the deserted store (where Marcus and friends were) when all of a sudden, the explosion occurs. He is not able to drive back to his house so, being the nerd that he is, he takes all of his gadgets and hides in the nearest alley he could find. He waits for the crowd to die down as he flips open his laptop and tries to contact the police, his family, friends and loved ones, all of which was to no avail.
After hours and hours of waiting, the DHS picks Zeb up and, just like Marcus, blindfolds him, cuffs him and throws him inside the
