The Data Job
by Vaughn Ashby
Complete the job, save the world… if only it was that simple.
With Angie’s head anything but stable, the team attempts to pull off their biggest job to date… The Data Job.
The Rubicon building sits in the middle of The Hoard… capital T capital H, both capitalized for a reason.
The job is simple…
Get into the building surrounded by a million or so zombies,
Turn the Power to the building on without getting noticed by said zombies,
Gain access to the databases, they don’t have access to, on a floor way too high to just climb up to,
Survive whatever is waiting for them in the building,
Trust that Gillian… or is it Olivia… no it’s Gillian, has everyone's best interests at heart,
Get out… preferably alive,
Did I mention the zombies? The taint-tightening number of zombies?
Simple… if only.
To cap it all off the team learns more about The Event than they could ever have imagined… well most of them anyway.
Welcome to the Aurora Wasteland and the zombie-filled end of the world that it occupies.
Release Date: May 10, 2024

What is the Aurora Wasteland?
Watch this helpful informative video to learn everything you need to know about the Aurora Wasteland.
So what is it exactly???
Well, AuroraWasteland.com is a web site with a map on it… I know it sounds exciting. But listen there is more.
The Aurora Wasteland itself is a fictional county filled with strange, weird, unbelievable, paranormal and horrific thing that could possibly cause you to wet the bed. We are talking chronic bed wetting, like have to see your doctor about it bed wetting. Well, that might be setting the bar to high.
Let's try this again. The Aurora Wasteland is a fictional county with some cool stuff in it that will make you say "hey there was some cool stuff in there". That's better.
Anyways, It doesn’t follow any borders, state, or province lines. It jumps from county to county, province to state, and county to county. And best of all it’s created by me! Vaughn Ashby. The Aurora Wasteland is home to my writing, characters, daydreams, nightmares and inappropriate thoughts. With all that out of the way.
Welcome to the Aurora Wasteland!

I think I’ve stumbled across something. Something big. Something I need to tell the world about. But I’m not sure how to do so, because I don’t know if I fully understand it.

The Wonderful World of Scary Ass Shit
Parallel dimensions exist, let's get that out of the way right now. What matters more is that something is causing them to merge. A process, to put it bluntly, that can only be described as slamming one's tit in the proverbial plane of existence’s door… or simply put, maximum unpleasantness in all the wrong places.
The Blue Dick Ghosts of Mount Tekarra
Something is causing hikers to vanish on Mount Tekarra, which just so happens to be situated in the heart of the Brightness Falls National Park… maybe you’ve heard of it? It’s ok if you haven’t, it’s not really a come visit and expect to leave still living type of place.
The Never Ending Flats of Endless Endlessness
A new and inquisitive journalist is on her way across Canada to explore the world of the Aurora Wasteland. With the podcasts of her favorite wasteland explorer playing on repeat in her ear, she sets out to make a name for herself. Only, the Aurora Wasteland has other plans for her. In a situation known to every single human on planet earth, Bernet, having paid no attention to her bladder's warning as they passed through the last town, was forced to pee on the side of the busiest highway in Canada. After a quick pants drop and tinkle into the snow, Bernet finds herself alone… well, technically not alone. Her warm, bladder-busting tinkle unearthed a body buried in the snow… one she’d never expect to find there… her own.
The Zombie Job
99.9% of humanity was turned into Zombies, in an event known as... you know what, hold on let's go back.
The Rubicon Job
You know that part of the movie where they montage to put the heist team together? Well… we’re doing that, as well as… wait… what?
The Montage Job
Five jobs in one day, all complicated… all made impossible by the ever-growing number of dead that appear to be gathering in the city… all vital to figuring out what the farts is going on with Angie.

Let me get this out of the way right now.
None of this happened.
The events that are talked about here are fictional, fake, untrue.
Except for the ones that aren't.
Which may possibly be all of them.
So to recap, this isn't real, except for the parts that are.
Got it? Because I don't want to hear about it later.
