DRAFTED

The rumors of a cure were unfounded. Those of us who turned out at the supposed distribution site were surprised to hear that we have been drafted by the university for a sweep and clear mission in attempt to cut down the number of infected on campus. Our mission went off without a hitch, with the survivors separating into four squads to sweep from Folwell Hall to Coffman Memorial Union.

HAVOC took command of Bravo Squad, our ranks bolstered by volunteers from our building, and our route took us along Pleasant Street into the Mall Area from one of the west paths. We encountered very few infected until the squad reached the Washington Avenue crossing, where we crossed paths with at least four infected. It was here that fire teams one and two sighted Alpha Squad and fled for the safety of the quarantine zone, leaving fire team three to bring up the rear, menaced by ramblers.

All in all the mission can be deemed a success. Out of four squads of about sixteen each we lost around three people total, one succumbing to madness and deserting the ranks to be mauled by the infected. Here is some helmet cam footage captured of Bravo Squad's patrol:

After the mission, however, HAVOC's fellow survivors were ambushed with Comstock's entrance beckoning for safety. The members of HAVOC made it to safety while the infected from the ambush were either feeding or quickly dispatched on the way through. Back in safety we listen to the resistance frequency to find out what has become of our friends. The toll for the first day: 341 of 369 healthy remain; 28 infected and counting.

If you've made it through alive tonight, thank your lucky stars. It's only going to get worse. If you have to venture into the infected zone do not leave home without protection. Watch your backs, survivors.
