Question Title

* 6. The National Guard is out in force, maintaining the peace. Essential industries workers are guarded to keep basic goods and services flowing. Food purchases are rationed and the economy is beginning to falter. Your company has shut down, leaving you jobless.

Continue to go to work and not let it affect your life.

Try to work at home and arm up to defend yourself if need be.

Move to a less populated area to be less of a target.

Take the family to a small town or somewhere remote to camp out.

Question Title

* 8. You can't always avoid ending up in a crowd at some point, so there is still a possibility that you could be taken by the aliens. What do you do to protect yourself?

I believe the odds are still in my favor, so I don't bother with carrying a weapon.

I'm anti-gun, so I depend on others to keep me safe.

I've been anti-gun, but this situation is life or death, so I now carry a gun.

I have a pistol and I carry it with me.

I keep large caliber pistols on my person and more powerful firearms in my car and home.

Question Title

Keep working and stay calm, the odds of being taken are still low.

Try to work from home and arm up as much as you can to protect you and yours.

Freak out and find someplace to hide.

Volunteer to join the militia to fight back.

Question Title

* 10. You've been given a pill that contains a deadly toxin, which means that if the aliens eat you, they'll die. You've just been captured and you still have the pill. What do you do?

Not take the pill and hold out hope that somehow you'll be rescued, even though you know it's all but impossible.

Take the pill and hope you kill as many aliens as possible.
