We need to weld off one of the staircases and the elevators should only go upto the floor below. We can set up beds in there and use it as our sleeping quaters.

Having made one potentially useful observation, "Hey, shouldn't we warn everyone to stick to the bottled water, since we don't know how many zombies are floating in the reservoir?", Sands soon turned to brooding, in the times he wasn't able to continue stocking up on sleep:
Quarantine sucks. Quarantine especially sucks when its your own stupid fault that you definitely need to be placed in it due to close combat with the undead. Quarantine sucks when you've left all your reading material in a bus station that is now overrun by the demon spawn of the undead. '21 hours, fifteen minutes left, 21 hours, 14 minutes and fifty-five seconds left, 21 hours, 14 minutes and fifty-hey, I wonder how many of the X-men Meier Link could kill if he crashed their reunion party by stealth? '

Ben walked over and pressed in his identification number and slid his security card to log on to the terminal. Then he got on the intercomm again
Attention, any soldiers who are outside have 15 seconds to get inside before I lock down this compound
He looked at the security cams and gave them 15 seconds. They all got in, no "followers"
Then he unched in a few commands and sealed off the outside of the facility completely. The outside doors, everything. The fourth floor windows were shatterproof, wonderful invincible lexan.
"I have a sneaky suspicion those things can climb.. in every zombie movie I have seen things like that can climb"
It came in handy needing a secure fascility, and a paranoid director such as yourself.

"Alright... trying to find a cure after this metamorphosis is going to be impossible... and probably one of the Great Mistakes made in any given zombie movie... we have to take these fuckers out. Firearms wont wor, so we have to use chemical weapons. Pure Hydrogen Peroxide, Lye, Nitric Acid, anything that destroys cells... and all of those can be found, and even made in this lab..."

"Would it be possible to fill hollowpoints with the chemicals we need?" Asked Fisher. "And I'll be right back."
Fisher stepped out of the room and raised TACHQ on the radio.
"We need twenty steel plates, a welder and any supplies you can give us. And you should evacuate the base."
"We already have begun evacuations. And the plates will be their in an hour. And we also sent enough food, water, supplies for sixty people for thirty days. As well as weapons and ammo for that many people. Once we leave you are on your own. So if you need any supplies give us a call in the next four hours."

I have to say after seeing all of this we have some serious problems with how we do battle, our most effective weapons are going to change. We will need mostly incendiary and explosive weapons, we have a stockpile of chemicals here at the lab but those will eventually run out so we need to keep the option of using the helicopters to run raiding missions on surrounding towns, and even university chemistry labs. We might need fuel for generators or helicoptors, supplys for cutting and welding torches, raw materials for building fortifications, but we could turn this place into a castle, and a damn good one at that.
All I want is a kind word, a warm bed, and unlimited power.

As he said this three helicopters could be heard setting down on the roof and lifting off again.
"Johnson, report." Fisher said into his radio.
"They dropped off a shit load of food and water, as well as plenty of ordinance. I say enough to equip two full platoons."
"Secure the supplies and guns. And clear the roof, we will be have a whole lot of flights in and out."
Fisher turned to Dr. Allen. "Is there anyway you could certify that the civilains in decon are clean so we can evac them out?"

Bait then went down to the Quarnteen section and examined everyone and took blood samples, on visual inspection everyone looked healthy even john's shoulder was pink and warm to the touch which was a very good sign.

I want to Re-state that I do have that ship available if we can make it there. Probably a last resort but it is a sail boat so we would not have to worry about fuel, and current data suggest that the sea is still safe. This could just be a pipe dream but it might work, I know of many islands in the south pacific where there are absolutly no people, and I have sailed to them before.Alyrium Denryle wrote:Yeah, it would be best that the children go... and may we pray that the islands have not been overrun"

The chopper could be heard setting down on the roof and the 20 steel plates were being offloaded as fast as possible. Johnson escorted five childern and five adults, to protect the childern, to the chopper. They climbed aboard and the chopper lifted off. Johnson and his men brought the steel plates inside as quick as they could.

After Ben came back with a shotload of copper wire and various clamps, he ran the blood tests
Everyone was clear, shark Bait had even halted the infection in John
Ben gave SHark Bait a huge hug again, then he opened the quarantine doors
"Alright fisher, where do you need 'em?"

Fisher sat down in a chair and opened up a channel with the base.
Code: Select all
TACHQ, this is Master Sergeant Fisher. I have shopping list.
1. Shotguns, lots of them, with explosive rounds if you have any.
2. A couple of M-2s would be nice.
3. As much gas and fuel as you can give. As well as some fuel bladders.
4. Chainlink fences
5. Supplies, as much as you can give. And water. As much bottled water as you've got.
6. Plenty of hollowpoint ammunition.
7. Any extra genarators.
Thats about it. And if we need anything else we will call.
Code: Select all
Roger, we will get you what we can. But if you need anything else, ask within the next two hours. We are bugging out. Good luck.

Fisher left the room and returned to talk with Dr. Allen.
"I sent the military base a list of supplies. However, they are leaving. If we decide to stay, thats it. We are staying. After they bug out, we are on our own. However they have agreed to give us two helicopters, crews, and spare parts. Here is the list I sent them.
