Post Apocalypse[]
Being so extremely remote, it serves as an ideal command center for coordinating survival efforts after the zombie apocalypse, though through an unfortunate series of events, Citizen Z was left as its sole human occupant after the rest of the base’s staff are killed in a plane crash. A year after the plane crash Simon watches old videos of his girlfriend, Daisy and pretends like he is talking with her and receives word that Mount Wilson Base is overrun and that they need to contact Delta X-Ray Delta but Citizen Z had lost contact with them 3 weeks ago. “Z" broadcasts from the station in an effort to contact any survivors who may be left in the world, and has intermittent contact with the Westward-bound survivor group. Citizen Z begins to lose his mind with no contact from anyone, however a zombified Dog-Sled approaches his base and goes outside to kill it. He then sees that one of the dogs is still alive and brings it in to save it. However, inside a zombie dog attacks them, Simon shoots it but it gets away. He searches the building for the dog and finds the living one and gives it water but they hear a strange noise and he runs away. He later sees the dogs fighting worried for his dog he breaks off a piece of a box and jumps down and kills the zombie husky. He begins to play music and act as a radio host using his NSA abilities and tech to broadcast all over North America, mentioning the westward-bound survivors many times in his broadcasts. He takes care of the dog he saved and names him Pup. He assists the group from time to time. He try’s to catalogue all the theories on how the ZN1 apocalypse happened.
In Home Sweet Zombie, many people end up listening to his broadcast about the hurricane hitting the great plains and midwest. People look concerned and brace for the incoming storm. He talks personally to Addy and the group and inform them to seek shelter immediately from the storm.
When nuclear missiles are launched, one of them is headed for the location of Citizen Z. The missile defense system is successful in stopping the nuclear attack but the shockwave manages to damage the facility. In addition zombies that were frozen in ice return to haunt Citizen Z when the heat releases them into the open.
Citizen Z tries to leave the compound together with Pup, but is caught in a blizzard. Eventually he returns together with Kaya and her grandparents and they start repairs to return power to the station. Citizen Z and Kaya restart their broadcasts on the radio.
Kaya eventually gives birth to her son, JZ, and he is raised at Northern Lights for several years until the family leaves for Newmerica.
