Zetta was about the last person(?) Stephen wanted to deal with, with the City locked down. So he went the other way from where he could hear the Overlord shouting maniacally.

He'd been holed up in his lab, and figured that was the only reason he hadn't submitted to the insanity that was plaguing quite a few people.

Problem was, he now had to get out. He wasn't entirely sure how to do that without involving anyone else.

And then, he came upon the scrapyard and the fence.

Panting just a bit, he sidled up to the fence, and did as the sign instructed, crouching down to try and keep out of sight. Just in case someone who was ill DID happen to see him.
