The Apocalypse Starts at 6PM (audio story)
The Apocalypse Starts at 6PM was the fourth audio story in Among Us 3.
Publisher's summary
Janet's Late Teatime is the TV equivalent of a cup of soup and a lapful of kittens. So when Torchwood announce the world will end on tomorrow night's show – well, what's Janet going to do?
Plot
Janet's Late Teatime is interrupted by a message from Torchwood informing the public that the apocalypse starts at 6pm tomorrow and Janet receives a telephone call afterwards telling her the same thing. The organisation releases statements about how the government is using the Internet to kill people, Orr and Tyler convince people to tear down mobile masts by claiming that they are activating chips placed inside people by vaccines and Yvonne claims to have been detained for knowing about how WiFi can control people. Although Janet disavows these claims, the public come to believe that she founded Torchwood.
