Gunther's Story - The Bigger Picture[]
During the onset of the apocalypse, Gunther was on a cruise ship with his wife, Astrid, and Leonard. When the world fell, the cruise had a system that anyone who was suspected of being bit would be killed and thrown overboard. One day while working with the fish nets, Astrid was cut. Despite explaining the situation, Astrid was killed and thrown overboard. Shortly after the cruise docked near Asyl, he and Leonard joined the community as engineers and blacksmiths. Eric would often come by and chat with the pair and when he needed something he'd always pay in cigarettes.

Fanya's Story - Past Identity[]
Chloe, Sarah, Lake, and Crane drink some liquor that they found while speculating about Fanya's past and all talk about what they know about her; she was found by Eric with a kid named Luca and was with him because his parents had died, she's spoken German with Gunther, she's spoken French with The Captain, she knows how to fight, she knows how to shoot, she known how to make herself a small target in battle, she knows how to crack a safe, and she is knowledgeable about high society. After this, they all speculate that she could have been a hitwoman or a secret agent, but Crane states that they're all drunk and talking nonsense, something the rest of the group agrees with. Crane states that at the end, it doesn't matter what they anybody did before the apocalypse before finishing the last of the liquor. Unbeknownst to the group, Fanya had been listening to their conversation and amusingly chuckles.
Survival Records - Unplanned Camping Trip[]
A group consisting of Chemist, Sarah, R, Eva, and Gunther regroup in the forest after having been ambushed by The Raiders. They lament Gabe's death before coming up with a plan of what they should do next. The group decides to camp out in the forest for the night. R and Eva split off from the rest of the group to look for mushrooms so that R can make mushroom soup for them. Eva comments how she's still not used to seeing people die around her, something that R can relate too. After finding enough mushrooms, the pair heads back to the camp so that the soup can be made. Sarah notices that R refuses to eat the mushroom soup, to which R responds with saying how he learned to make the soup from a Cook who was in his former group, but he can't eat it anymore since it reminds him of the man who had died shortly after teaching him how to make the soup. R then states that he'll keep watch for the night while the rest of the group rests up.

The leader says that he was hoping to meet up with Asul eventually before saying how the Airport Community has warned them about refusing to join again. Suddenly a herd of walker approaches. Although some of the group members object to helping the community clear out the undead, they eventually agree to fight alongside the community. After the fight against the undead, the leader and a few other community members join the scouting group to meet up with the rest of Asyl Scouts that are at the meet up spot.

Despite this, the intruders are able to hold their ground. Eventually Curt calls off the attack and decides to start an uneasy alliance with his former enemies, much to his chagrin.
