A Bloody Day

The siren blared as three members of HAVOC stepped outside into the afternoon heat. Coming down the steps all three of their heads turned rapidly back and forth. The number of survivors has been rapidly declining as the infection spreads like wildfire across campus. We had not seen our network correspondent, Matt, all day and though we were worried for him, we must move on about our business. The three set off toward Coffman and into the infected zone.

Later on that afternoon we received a transmission from a dying Matt. He recounted his grisly attack. Had just crossed the Washington Avenue bridge, alone, when he spotted two infected. They stared each other down until they were distracted by another survivor hoping to sneak by them unnoticed. Matt made a break for it while the poor sucker was pursued by the infected, but he failed to spot the third lurker outside the Weisman Art Museum and was slammed against the wall before being mauled. We comforted him as best we could over the airwaves listening to his slow, painful transition to infection, as his speech slowly turned to coughs and groaning.

We lost two members today, bringing our number ever lower to four. Stay strong, survivors. We will get through this.

Current count as of 1830 hours: 304 healthy, estimated 79 infected.
