I am Flight Lieutenant Brooke, former pilot with the Canadian Air Force and current Helicopter pilot with The Royal Air Force.
I was based in Iraq when we heard about an object from space crashing down in South Africa.
A few days later I was asked to fly to South Africa to help with something, what it was we weren’t told, in fact the whole thing seemed quite rushed and unplanned. Part of the way there our mission was aborted and we were called to assist in The US. After a quick stop in Spain to re-fuel we headed to The States.
This is my diary of what happened next.
DAY 1
Our crew of 5...Jones, Smith, Thomas, Jackson and Romero...and me were told our mission is to rescue scientists at a military science lab in the Town of Littleview, not quite sure why we are being drafted in for this instead of the US Forces.
As we arrived our immediate orders were to destroy the 3 bridges that link Littleview to the mainland to quarantine the area to stop people coming in and people leaving and infecting others as there had been some sort of serious outbreak. The only other thing we were told about it was that it was not airborne.
We took out the bridges and searched for landing area. The areas near military science labs, hospital and outpost were full of debris, as were most of the roads. I landed on the main road through the middle of the town and as soon as we landed we were approached by people…well…I thought they were people. They had dark deep eyes, with grey or pale skin, injuries and covered in blood. We tried to help them but they just wanted to bite us, we kept warning them but they looked so distant, just like shells of humans. They wouldn’t stop and Jones got bit, we fired warning shots but didn’t make any difference, in fact it brought more of them. We shot to injure them and they still kept coming, it wasn’t until someone shot one in the head that it dropped. We had no choice we had to take them out, they were like Zombies. We cleared the area and barricaded ourselves in a house to reassess the situation and get some sleep and rest.
DAY 2
We woke up early hoping the Z's (Zombies) were still sleeping or whatever they do at night. Jones who got bit yesterday doesn't look good, maybe this is the outbreak they were talking about, some sort of virus. We will have to keep a close watch on him. We head out towards the science labs, the Z's don't seem to sleep they are wandering around already. Large, small, old, children, male, female Z's of all types. Some are slow some little quicker at moving depending on what state they was in, I prefer the slow ones. After what happened to Jones we don't want to get to close to these things, we have to clear a path through them so we begin shooting...bad idea...it alerts more and they come running. We use our pistols with silencers but it looks like we have to get close too the Z's and use melee weapons too to save ammo. We find a hardware store and grab some axes, we have knives but we prefer the axes as they have long handles and keeps us out of arms reach of the Z's.
Jones can hardly keep up now, we head for the hospital to see if we can get some help. On entering the hospital we see it is just full of Z's, we quickly grab some essential items and get out. I see an antique store, I tell the rest I will be 5 minutes. I search the store and find an old sword with its sleeve and in great condition, I can't find any more swords, I leave the axe. Jones is now unconscious, we all go back inside the store and wait. Jones awakes but it's not him any more, just a Zombie version of him with a hunger for Human flesh. Smith shoots him in the head so he can R.I.P. We leave him in the store so we can collect him later when we leave this hell hole.
The further we head East the more Z's there are and there are different ones now, some that look like they have been burned, their skin it tough like leather and harder to kill, there is big bloated ones, lucky we shot one from distance as it exploded sending out some sort of green acid. There are small ones that puke this stuff out too...nasty. We saw a Z standing by a house just as the house caught fire, maybe a gas explosion? It set fire to the Z too which made it start running around in a rage, it took a few shots to take it down. We still need to save ammo, there seems to be more Z's than ammo but its hard to save ammo in this part of the town.
All of a sudden we were surrounded by Z's, we stood back to back slashing them to bits until then suddenly Thomas fell to the floor and then we saw why, he had been almost cut in half. We then saw what did it. This thing was big with some sort of deformed arm, it looked like the bone in his arm had mutated and he was dragging it along the floor which sharpened it like a huge blade. We needed to get out of here, out came the machine guns and we slaughtered the lot of them but was soon being chased by dozens more. We had to leave Thomas, he was dead but a bullet was put through his head to make sure he stayed that way before we left him.
We needed to get to the military outpost Fort Rotsap fast. We were almost at the outpost when we saw some freaky shit, this guy was stood there naked but he has 4 legs and 4 arms, what the hell was he, some sort of experiment that had turned into a Z? He was ambling towards us slowly then all of a sudden he fell on his back and started running like a fucking spider, he was fast and hard to kill too. How screwed up was that? We then heard a female voice making weird noises, as we turned the corner we saw a woman, she turned around and we could see she had either long mutated fingers or really long nails, it was hard tell. She ran up to us thrashing around, whatever they were on her hands they looked deadly. Lucky my sword was slightly longer than her reach and I took her out. We ran to the outpost expecting to see some military but it was completely dead apart form a few Z's. We took care of them and secured the outpost just in time to see another of those spider guys passing by but this one was huge, like 4 times bigger than the other.
We need to regroup and stock up on ammo, there was quite a bit around, it looked like this place was hit hard and fast as it didn't look like they left in any organised fashion, they either ran for their lives or were completely over run. We decided to stay as it was getting dark.
DAY 3
Early Morning start again, it was foggy we crept around quietly popping into warehouses and stores to collect supplies and avoid the Z's. There was a lot of abandoned vehicles but it looked like they had all been drained of fuel, maybe to power generators. There was also a lot of abandoned military vehicles too and also some weapons which allowed us to build up our ammo supplies.
We could hear something big near us in the fog, all of a sudden it struck out. Lucky it missed us all but it hit the tank we were stood near and actually but a huge dent in it, I caught a glimpse of it, it looks like just solid muscle, I didn't want to stay anywhere near that, it looked like it would take you out with 1 hit.
We were close to the science labs, we saw some chubby brown tough looking Z's, they were making rumbling noises which was good because it alerted us of where they was in this fog, there was also some freaky long armed Z's, we kept out of their way too. We saw the science lab, it had a huge hole in the side of one of the buildings, we headed for the main entrance and to be stopped in our tracks by another long fingered/nailed woman, this one was much taller. She moved like lightening and lashed out taking out Smith with one hit slicing him to bits, we had to run and run fast and just got inside in time.
We found a small room and barricaded ourselves in. it was just Jackson, Romero and me left. We tried our radio but got no reply, we seemed to be on our own. We left the room briefly to clear out the 1st floor of Z's making sure we kept away from the doors and windows and away from that lethal woman outside. After making the 1st floor secure and blocking the stairs off we went back to our little room and got our heads down for the night.
DAY 4
The fog had gone and we could see a lot of Z's in military clothing and we could also see a lot of Z scientists. There was also still some inside on the upper floor. We cleared the rest of the building, some of the Z's had security cards on them, I took them as they may be useful. Jackson and Romero went out on to the roof, there was a flat area up there where they could check out the area. I found a secure lab and used a card to get in , there was also computers. The computer asked for a card to scan to be able to use it, I scanned a card and I was in. Jackson came in and mentioned that they had seen a military communications vehicle and was going to go and check it out. I said I would go up to the roof and cover them. They went out to the vehicle, I took out a few Z's that were getting close to them with my rifle. Apparently the battery was flat on the vehicle so they brought the long range radio back in to connect to the mains as we had power from the backup generators that were still working.
I went back to the computer and found an email from the South African Military Science Department, it read...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I have some information that you was requesting and I hope you are able to help sort this mess.
We extracted a chemical from the object that crashed here the other day and from the translation it seem to be for resurrecting the dead. We injected it into some of our military, a few days later one was killed in a motorcycle accident. He came back to life but not as we expected, we hope he would be as normal but he was in some sort of basic mode and just wanted to attack and bite everyone.
we are doing more studies on the object, the chemical, the subject and more translating.
Please pray for us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...I found some notes from the scientists from here, this is what they said...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally got a reply from South Africa though their email was not very informative, it seems they were trying to use some chemical from the object that had crashed there to create and army they doesn't die. But I think they were hoping they would be the same as before they died.
From my studies I have discovered that this virus (We are calling it Z Virus) is transmitted through bodily fluids suck as saliva, seamen, urine and blood. So if any of it gets into the body via a cut, by intercourse, a bite or even maybe just a kiss, you will be infected. but if Z Virus s inside you it will not affect you as the bodies immune system will keep it at bay and it's only when the immune system fails or you die that the once dormant virus then becomes active. Once active it destroys the brain apart from parts of the Parietal and Occipital Lobes which provides just basic functions. Which means they can walk or run depending on the state of the body, they can hear, see and smell. Their thoughts also seem basic, as in survival, which means to eat and the basic form of food as fresh meat and fresh meat is mostly us, Humans.
So they are not attacking us they are trying to survive even if they have no internal organs or even a stomach they will still eat even if what they eat just falls straight back out again. They don't seem to have any feelings, as in a nervous system, so they don't seem to feel pain. They seem to tell who has been fully infected, maybe by smell? Once they are fully infected and they infect someone else say by biting, the virus is much stronger and does start to take over the body, the time depends on how weak the person is and how severe the attack/bite was. Once they are fully infected they cannot be cured as the brain is mostly destroyed and as no one has even successfully completed a brain transplant then there is no hope for them and the only thing to do to try and keep uninfected safe is to destroy the infected by destroying the rest of the brain. Damaging anything else will not stop them, as even a decapitated head wills till continue to function.
We are currently working on a way to discover who is carrying the Z Virus in its dormant stage and then to try and find a way to remove it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...There was quite a bit of information and research on the computer which I downloaded onto a memory stick. As the scientists all seem to be dead or Z's then this is the best I can get, I told the guys I had the info. They told me they had been able to contact some people at a Police Station at Precinct 69 and said for us to head there as we were in a black area which is the most dangerous and most Z populated area.
We decided to take a look in the part of the labs that had the wall broken, it looked like the wall had been pushed out from the inside. Inside there was various machines, cages and restraints. Also some huge body armour, not sure what they would be used for. We seen some weird stuff but nothing big enough for that to fit. there was nothing else of use in there for us so we retreated back into the main building, back to our room and settled down for the night.
DAY 5
As I am writing this part of the diary I am alone, this is what happened.
This Morning we set out to Precinct 69, maybe some scientists made it to there. We headed South and we got about 5 blocks before we saw some more of those bloated Z's, this time they were even bigger, a few pops with the pistol and they were down, we set off through another couple of blocks taking out any Z's that got to close with our melee weapons. Then we saw this big guy that seemed to have bones growing through his body, legs, elbow and shoulders. He looked tough, We were able to spin around him and take him out with the swords.
We moved on a couple more blocks when we saw this woman, she walked towards us but didn't seem to be in any hurry to attack us and she definitely looked infected. Then all of a sudden she let out a big scream, that's when all hell broke loose, the screaming bitch alerted every Z in the area and they all came running. We stood back to back taking them out, swapping to pistol or rifle now and again to take some out from a distance but most were going down with melee. Then we saw Z's flying around like a child's toys being thrown around and it was then we saw 2 huge things, they were similar to the bony guy we saw but much bigger. It was time to make a hole in these Z's and fall back but as soon as we started working back one of the big bony guys was on top of us, our melee weapons didn't seem to do much damage and before we could change weapons Romero had been hit. Looks like just one hit from this big Z had taken Romero out. The 2nd one grabbed Jackson, I started slashing at it with the sword to make it let go but we were getting swamped by other Z's too and Jackson said for me to go, I told him I wasn't leaving but he told me I must go, I have the memory stick with the info needed and that I was the only one who could fly out of here. I decided to get in a near by house, took out a few Z's in there and got to the top floor. I opened fire with the machine gun ripping into these big Z's, one eventually fell but it was too late Jackson was dead, the 2nd big Z was trying to get to me and almost able to reach up to the 2nd floor window. I emptied the rest of my machine gun ammo into it and then finished it with the rifle and continued to clear the rest of the Z's with pistol and rifle.
I went back out to the street and finished off the rest of the Z's with my sword, I carried Jackson's body back into the house, there wasn't enough left of Romero to recover. I gathered up the guys ammo and supplies, I had to keep moving. As soon as I left the house again the woman walked round the corner, I ran up to her just as she was about to scream and I sliced the noisy bitch's head right off. I managed to reach as far South as I could go, I think the guys said once we get there we had to head West. One block West and I saw the freakiest and most screwed up site I have ever seen. There was this very tall woman, she look possessed stomping around swiping at everything, then I noticed she was pregnant and her child had mutated too, in fact it has grown into her stomach and was spitting out more of that green acid. She saw me and headed my way, she wasn't too fast but had long arms so I decided to use the rifle and with a few shots to her head with the powerful rifle she went down and they exploded like the bloated Z's. I had to get away form there, that was nasty.
The further West I went the easier it seemed to get and just as I thought I had seen it all there was a big gathering of Z's all across the road, I was about to take another road when I saw Z heads coming off, limbs flying and blood splattering, I thought this is it, I got to get out of here its another of those big guys, then I saw a glimpse of a sword slashing. There was a young woman in the middle of the Z's slicing them up. I ran up to them and took some out too to help her out, after we finished them all off she was surprised to see me and didn't think anyone but her came out this far since the Fort was over run. I told her that I had landed in there looking for scientists, they all seemed to be dead or Z's and I told her we heard a radio message mentioning a safe place called Precinct 69. She introduced herself as Ilona and said she is based there at the moment and would show me the way there. A few more blocks West and a trail of headless Z's behind us we were at the Police Station at Precinct 69.
I needed to get my head down and get some rest, it had been a long and stressful journey.
DAY 6, 7 & 8
Haven't noted anything in the diary for a few days, I been resting and talking to the people here about the mission I have and reassuring them that people are working on sorting this problem out and as soon as I can get the info I have collected to them it will help even more. Over the last few days teams have gone out looting for supplies mostly led by Ilona. I went out and did my bit too a few occasions and was told that there is another outpost in the North called Wolfs. Its run by some rough and ready gang members and wont let people in unless they have something to offer. I think I have to head there, maybe some scientists are there.
DAY 9
Ilona once again said she would show me the way to Wolfs and we set off defending ourselves and looting on the way. We got to a junction with some guy with a machine gun and loads of ammo surrounded by Z's mowing them down with his big noisy gun and attracting more and more Z's. It's definitely something we don't need to get involved in and after a few minutes he had run out of ammo and had more Z's there than ever. With no melee skills he was soon over run and while the Z's we occupied with him we slipped past. Ilona commented that was a typical jackass who had seen too many Rambo movie and got what he deserved. Standing there and just spraying ammo all directions and hoping it does the job doesn't work and you pay the consequences later.
Getting through the central region was quite event free thank goodness and when we were about 3 quarters of the way to Wolfs we decided to stop off at a mall and get supplies and also get extra supplies to bargain with to help us get into Wolfs. Ilona mentioned if you have food, drink, ammo, weapons, skills or a pussy it's likely you can get in. I told her I am not offering my pussy in exchange for shelter and she replied I don't offer mine to people with man bits anyway. We were almost there and we saw those long blade arm guys again like the one that killed Thomas. I said I need to take these guys out, Ilona distracted them and I was able to circle round them stab them in the back of the head, the nasty freaks.
A couple more blocks and we found ourselves at Wolfs and what a dump it was, with a few thugs outside tooled up with bats. As we tried to enter one of the guards commented on how hot we were and wanted to see what we had that he could poke and I said how about we each stick our swords up his nostrils and poke his brain...if he had one in there. Looks like that was the password because he immediately moved over and let us in.
I met Wolf and told him about my mission and he barked at me something about me being the bitch who flew over taking the bridges out and I explained that we had to quarantine the Town. He seemed happier when we showed him the supplies we had looted on the way. There were no scientists here either. Wolf said there is one more base to the West at the end of the main road. Ilona told me it's Natasha's Outpost and she was planning on going there as her little Sister is there. We stayed at Wolfs over night.
DAY 10
The next Morning Ilona and I headed towards Natasha's, the further West we went the less Z's there were and thankfully it was just regular Z's there, if there is such a thing as a regular Z. We were almost there and I saw people wandering around, relaxed, children in the street running around or playing football. It was almost normal in some streets, then a Z would pop out and as soon as you saw it there was always someone around ready to take it down.
We arrived safely at Natasha's with a bunch of supplies we had looted on the way, Natasha was happy to see us and was very welcoming. I told her about the mission and she informed me that a few people from Fort Rotsap had made it back to here after it was over run but there were no scientists. I let her know that this was my last hope in finding any and that I needed to get back to the helicopter ASAP and get this info I had gathered back to base. Natasha told me that there have been several missions from all 3 outposts here and some involved collecting blood samples from the infected and I should take them with me too as the ability to perform proper tests here are limited.
I decided to stay the night at Natasha's ready for the journey back East in the Morning. Natasha told me an engineer from the Fort who was a bit of a wild card there and always ending up drunk and lost turned out to be a bit of a hero when the shit hit the fan there and managed to get a lot of people to safety. She also told me he was the main engineer and mechanic for a tank that was based at the fort which he managed to bring here and that he could give me a lift to the helicopter.
DAY 11
I said my goodbyes and told them as I had told people at the other bases that as soon as I was out of this town I would let the authorities know what was happening here and get some more help. I told Natasha that P 69 and Wolfs looked strong and would hold off the Z's for a while and hopefully those that do get through to here would be mostly decomposed and about ready to fall apart. but hopefully help will be here before then.
I started heading back to the helicopter in the tank with the Engineer. Strangely enough I found this fun, smashing vehicles out of the way, running over some of the cars and squishing Z's too. After about an hour we were at the Helicopter, I said I needed to get to a antique store where we left 1 of my team. We found the store but the door was open and the body had gone. Looks like the Z's got to him. I put the sword back where I got it from and then headed back to the helicopter.
I thanked the Engineer and was about to get in the helicopter when he puled a gun out and pointed it at me. He started ranting on about now he had seen the helicopter and knew all I had been saying was true that he couldn't let me go because he felt as soon as I was safely away the military would nuke this place and all that's in it. I told him I was unaware of such orders and I had made friends here and wont allow it. Besides they wanted the science info to help the people here and if they wasn't planning on that they would have just destroyed the place in the 1st place. I told I was going to go get help for everyone here. He told me to take him with me and I said that is not possible as we are not allowed to take out anyone from a quarantined area who may be infected without permission or prior arrangements.
I climbed in the helicopter and said if you shoot me then he would have to wait even longer to get help, so lower the gun and get your ass back to Natasha's and help her keep those people safe. I fired up the helicopter, he got back in the tank and drove off. I took off and radioed back to base but got no reply, in fact I radioed other frequencies and heard nothing. Then as I gained altitude I could see the other near by cities and towns. They had smoke and fire coming from them all over the place. As I flew over the cities I could see them, hundred and hundreds...actually thousands and thousands of Z's. That's why we hadn't heard from anyone the situation looks the same in the near by cities as it is in Littleview and who knows maybe its the same all over the US and perhaps the World.
Finally a reply came back on the radio, it was from a army outpost near the Eastern coast, they said they had a load of people and supplies there but it was getting harder to defend the place from Z's. I headed there and saw this big fortified building complete with Helipad on one of the roofs. I saw guards shooting at a load of Z's near by. I hovered low and activated the Helicopter machine guns completely clearing the street of Z's. I landed on the helipad and was greeted by a lot of people who seemed very happy to see me. Apparently they hadn't seen any military for days and explained that all communications, TV , Radio, Cell Phones, Power...everything was down all over the place and these Z's have over run the cities and military.
I spoke to the guy who radioed me and he said there is a massive oil tanker anchored just a few miles away on the east coast and that people were all trying to get there with only one way of getting on and floating on the Ocean it was a very safe place to be. The people here want to get there and he asked me to help. I said I would help all I could as I haven't been able to contact back to my base to get further orders I would assume they have been run over by Z's too. but I would need more fuel for the helicopter. He told me we have plenty of fuel for it right here. I told him to get people ready then and as soon as we had re-fuelled I could start transporting.
We re-fuelled, loaded the 1st lot of people and headed out to the tanker, only took a few minutes and we was there, it was huge and thankfully had a big helipad too. The rest of the day was spent transporting people from the outpost to the tanker until they were all safely aboard. I found the captain and mentioned about the people in Littleview and how they thought only their town was infected and he said it seems to have spread very quickly over most countries. He said he used to be a Navy Captain and was in charge of positioning this tanker in place ready for it to be sunk to make an artificial reef and glad it hadn't been sunk yet. The tanker had been emptied and cleaned out and since people started coming here for a safe place to stay we have been converting the huge oil tanks into living quarters.
I went and got some rest and fell sleep on the helicopter.
DAY 12
I was awoken by the Captain. He said there are some more Captains on board and there are some ferries further up the coast in the dock, he said they could take them and get the people from Littleview as they would not be able to leave the town as the waters around it were very fast flowing and the undercurrents are deadly, they would drag you along under the water, smash you against the rocks then drag your broken remains out to sea. I told him I liked the plan. He said they would need to gather at the 3 broken bridges and we would dock the ferries there. I said I will get some leaflets printed out and drop over the Littleview and also radio the 3 outposts letting them know of the plan.
The leaflets were printed, I flew the Captains to the dock, cleared out a few Z's and they boarded the ferries, I flew back over Littleview dropping leaflets everywhere and radioed the outposts. A few hours later the 1st ferry was in place at the far East bridge, the main doors were opened ready for people to climb aboard. As soon as I saw this I radioed him to close them immediately, it was too late. The ferry was quickly over run by Z's, I swooped down, dropped a line and managed to get the captain to safety telling him that was the bad ass part of town and would be unlikely many, if any people would be there and would have been best to wait till you definitely saw someone before opening the doors. Anyway it was too late now the ferry was over run.
I flew to the South bridge just as the next ferry arrived and all of a sudden people came flooding out of the buildings near by, most of them from P 69. The doors were opened and they ran aboard with what was left of the Police hanging back taking out any Z's that came near and I flew over the near by areas taking some Z's out too. After an hour or so it looked like that area had cleared of people, the ferry door was closed and it headed back out to the Ocean.
I spent the next 90 minutes or so flying around the town looking for people, now and again dropping down on the main central road to pick someone up or to loot more supplies. Eventually the 3rd Ferry was in place at the South West bridge directly South on the main road from Natasha's, I could see that road was full of people North of Natasha's too, coming from Wolf's base. Lucky that area wasn't full of Z's like the rest of the town and the amount of people walking down there with weapons there wouldn't have been much threat anyway. I kept an eye on near by area in case too. I saw the main bulk of people were near the ferry, led by Ilona and her Sister, they were clearing away through any Z's that were in the way. It wasn't long when the Wolf group had reached Natasha's. Natasha and Wolf brought up the rear protecting the tail of the crowd.
A couple of hours passed and everyone had been evacuated.
DAY 13, 14, 15 & 16
Over the last few days people have been settling in either on the ferries or the oil tanker which were all anchored near each other now. A few of us have been out looting for supplies, even flying further out in less Z populated areas, sometimes even picking up more people. I had finally got in touch the British Military, a British Battleship anchored off the British coast, they told me Britain and pretty much all of Europe was also over run by Z's. I told them about my mission and they said they were anchored next to a science vessel keeping it safe and would be a perfect place for the info and samples I had gathered. They said they would send a Helicopter over to collect it.
Well I guess that's my mission over. Now its time to kick ass and eat cake, and I am all out of cake and that's bad news who asses that are about to be kicked. A group of us got together to discuss what we are going to do about this never ending stream of Z's and the fact that the ships will gradually over flow with people. After a discussion that went way into the night we decided to take our planet back.
DAY 17
Two other helicopter pilots are on board now along with some US Marines. The 2 pilots and 2 of the Marines board the helicopter with me and we head to Canada to Ontario to a military base. On the way there I get a message that the Royal Navy Helicopter arrived at the oil tanker and collect the info and samples.
Few hours later we are at the base in Ontario, just like everywhere else it looks over run by Z's. I swoop down take most of them out with the machine guns. I land and we start clearing the area of Z's. 30 minutes or so its clear enough to secure the main gates again. Once inside the main building we take the rest out with pistols. A final search around the base to take out any stragglers. Its time to fully load up my Helicopter, stock up on more supplies and ammo.
With the Helicopter fully equipped and refuelled the rest of the guys got on with their mission while I headed back to Littleview. A few hours and I was back there, or what is left of it. I let rip with missiles all over the Town, completely levelling it all. Then a few strategically place Napalm Missiles set the town a blaze burning up any remaining Z's and infected bodies. It wasn't long before the other guys returned from Ontario with 2 Chinook Helicopters arrived full of supplies and dangling underneath were 2 big bulldozers. They set the dozers down along with the 2 Marines and then flew back to the Oil Tanker to unload supplies.
The guys with the bulldozers attached huge chains, chaining them together and then drove across town dragging tons of rubble with them, occasionally stopping to burn a body. I was watching over them to make sure I hadn't missed any Z's.
DAY 18, 19 & 20
Over the last few days Littleview was slowly cleared of rubble and more and more people were being flown there to help out, capping off gas pipes and water pipes, making it safe and ready to rebuild. Ilona was flying out with the guys in the Chinooks taking care of any Z's while they were gathering up building supplies. I was doing occasional runs picking up people in the cities and transferring people back and forth from Littleview to the tanker and ferries.
DAY 21
I fuelled up and headed out to the British Battleship, it was HMS Ocean with it's Commanding Officer Captain Andrew Betton . When I arrived they told me the scientists on the science vessel had studied the info and samples I had collected, they had discovered the Z Virus had been specially made and was not natural virus. They were planning a trip to South Africa to check out the object as they had not heard anything back from anyone there to report exactly what the object was. I said that I was in and would transport troops there. The Captain said unfortunately there is hardly any troops and couldn't really afford to spare any, especially to send over to such a dangerous region. He said the plan was for just a Military Science Officer to check it out. I said I would take them.
DAY22
Myself and Military Science Officer Ellen Ash gathered our stuff together and boarded the Helicopter. I took off and headed for South Africa, my original destination around 3 Weeks ago and not knowing what to expect there. Wherever we flew there was smoke and flames coming from all of the cities and towns, with vehicles and bodies strewn all over the place. This was truly apocalyptic, it was going to take a very long time to get back to some sort of normality, in fact, we may never achieve that.
We were not far away from our destination, it looked like World War 3 had taken place here with military equipment all over the place, military equipment from all over the World by the looks of it. But no military, just Z's in military clothing and bodies, thousands and thousands of them. Ash pointed out the Science Research building, it had helipad on the roof, thank goodness. I landed, amazingly the generators were still working so the building had power still and the Z's don't know how to work elevators so the roof was safe.
We went down from the roof to the top floor, I had to take out a few Z's, Ash found some computers and checked them out. I went down to the 2nd floor. On one of the looting runs back in the States I found another sword. It came in very handy for clearing out this building. The windows are quite low too so bundling the bodies out wasn't too much of a problem. I finished clearing out and securing the building and went back to Ash. She was busy studying the computers. I said I was going to go and check out the object, I had brought a head cam with me and she could watch on one of the computers where it would also record the video.
I took off and headed out to where the object was luckily there wasn't many Z's in this area. I had only gone about a mile when I saw it, I was expecting a meteor or something like that. It looked like a ship to me. I landed near by, got out and approached it. I saw an entrance as I was walking towards it I asked Ash if she was watching as she was rather quiet, she said she was and didn't believe what she was seeing. I entered the ship, inside had black shiny walls, a few meters in and there were passages leading in many directions. I carried straight on till I got to a room, it looked like a control panel in front of me. Ash told me to wait, she had found some sort of dictionary with some strange translations. I said I had received an email from one of the Scientists there and she had mentioned about translations.
Ash asked me to look at the controls so she could see it through my cam and check the symbols. She said hold down the 3 green buttons all at once, I did and the whole panel lit up. Including a screen, then Ash said I should press the blue button. A load of writing came up, it looked like a log. Ash said keep looking at it and I will try and translate it with the dictionary. I began writing what she was saying, she couldn't make out some words but we could guess a lot of it. It said...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were about to start our ?????? and the ??????? failed, we crash landed in a area with ???? few Humans. Our cargo is safe but we must hide from the ??????????? Humans.
It ????? like we do not need to ???????? our mission as the ?????? Humans have taken samples of the ?????? and used it on themselves.
We must wait now until it is safe.
We are waiting until ?????????? arrives.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
... we noticed the latest entries are quite recent and then noticed a new entry was coming up as we watched the screen. I waited for Ash to translate it,.......
_______________________________________________________________________________
This is Captain Betton Commanding Officer of HMS Ocean. I believe this diary belongs to Lieutenant Brooke and this is how I came across the diary.
A couple of days after Brooke and Ash left for South Africa the scientists on the science vessel we were guarding had discovered a way to identify those who were infected with the Z Virus and were close to finding a way to remove it. We escorted the vessel to America, 3 days later we was there where the vessel anchored near the Oil Tanker and the two ferries. I then decided to take HMS Ocean and what military we had left to the South coast of South Africa, 3 days and we had arrived, we flew out on the 1 remaining Helicopter we had and arrived at the area of the object, which turned out to be a space craft of some sort and next to it Brooke's helicopter. We entered the ship and found containers containing many gallons of liquid in a storage room. The we found what turned out to be a main control panel and that is where the diary was. But no sign of Brooke only a head cam on the floor.
We headed back out to our helicopter and then to the Science building. we found the body of Ash, she hadn't been infected, she had been shot, shot with something that burned a hole in her. We watched the video footage that had been recorded and finished translating what had been seen on the screen in the recording. It said...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Human has entered our ????.
The Human has activated the ?????? and may well ????????? the information. We must stop ???.
I think we should not ????? ??? and ?????????? on ??? instead as...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was the last part we saw on the video.
It has been 8 days since Brooke left and we haven not found her here, we have also not found any trace of life on the space ship. I cannot explain where she is, or has been taken or even if a Z got to her.
I here by declare Lieutenant Brooke MIA.
Her actions and bravery have saved many lives before and during this horrific event. She will not be forgotten and I pray she will return or if she was taken that she did not suffer and was taken with honour.
I will take this diary to HMS Ocean and keep it safe.
Captain Betton, Commanding Officer of HMS Ocean.
Abducted (The Undead Part 2)
I am Lieutenant Brooke, if I don't make it out of here to tell of what has happened to me then maybe someone will find this and read what happened.
I woke up, I saw lights, I fell asleep, I woke up and fell asleep countless times in what I thought was various places with various figures around me, sometimes in pain, sometimes aching, sometimes drowsy.
I woke this time in some sort of cell, I was naked and there was something attached to my lower back, it was a big lump in my skin. I was tired and aching and fell asleep again. I was woken by a sound of something being slid into my cell, it was a dish of some sort of paste. I was hungry but it didn't look good but tasted ok. I needed to eat something. The lump on my back felt bigger.
Before all the aches, pains and in and out of consciousness the last thing I remember was being in a Space ship and watching strange words appearing on a screen and waiting for Ash to translate them, then there was a pain in my shoulder.
I don't know where I am, its dark but I can see quite well, unusually well considering its pitch black. I can hear sounds, I think they are far away, footsteps and yet I hear them clearly. I try to exercise for a while, then rest and fall sleep. I wake briefly with a pain in my shoulder again and then fall unconscious.
I wake up, the cell feels different, I can smell other living things, I can hear them breathing. I can see outlines in the darkness. I call out and no one answers, I call again and get a reply. The voice announces that his name is John, I tell him I am Lieutenant Brooke and ask him where we are. He told me he is not sure but thinks it is no Earth. A light comes on and I can see him clearer, he seems to be covered in scales. He tells me it's nice to talk to someone, he been in here a while and the others in here are in no state to talk or so much of anything. I see the others, some have what looks like feathers or some sort of fur, one looks huge and grey, the rest are a mess, monstrosities. I ask what the hell has gone on here. John told me they seem to be experimenting here. He said a lot just end up being destroyed, he also told me that I should be ok as I look good, real good. but he said he is not sure what is going to happen to him, he thinks he didn't turn out how they expected but then again he wasn't like the rest that are in there at the moment. Someone or something entered the room, he aimed a weapon at me, I tried to avoid being hit but felt a pain in my shoulder again and lost consciousness.
I woke up on a nice comfortable leather sofa, my shoulder was still stinging but at least I know what has been happening when I get a pain in my shoulder. It has been some sort of tranquiliser. The room looks like an old English country house living room, with antique furniture, shelving with books, a grandfather clock, an old wardrobe and all decorated with old style wall paper. I wasn't sure if I was back on earth or dreaming. I also found a old diary from 1969, there was nothing written in it and I wasn't sure if the days and dates would be the same as the current days and dates but I just decided to use it to try and continue my diary. I don't know what happened to the original one, I think it may be still in that space ship.
DAY 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7
I don't know how long it has been since I was in that Space Ship but my body clock tells me its been around a week, but I think it may have been longer. Anyway I am saying the 1st time I woke was day 1 and today is day 7.
The lump on my lower back feels like it is growing longer, it feels about 6 inches now...OMG I hope they haven't attached a penis to my back or something fucked up like that...I can't quite see it. Oh jeezz how did I not notice before, I am bald, and the top of my ears are pointed, what have they done to me? I fall sleep on the sofa.
DAY 8
I woke to find all my finger and toe nails had fallen off and there is a little hole where each of the nails was. I had been naked for too long, I need to some clothes for goodness sake. I check the wardrobe, its empty, I search through some drawers, most are empty then find my underwear. All clean, I put my bra on and notice my panties have a hole in the back, not just a cut in them but a proper hole that has stitches around it and neatly done. Ughh its been altered specially for that thing on my back to fit through. I find more clothing, skirts, pants, tops and footwear. All of the pants and skirts have the same hole. I keep getting food delivered, not that paste stuff but proper food. I wonder what they have planned for me. All of a sudden I am being looked after.
DAY 9
I woke up feeling great and strong, the thing on my back has grown, its about 15 inches now. I decided search around the room, it seems to be sealed tight with just one door, its secure. The Grandfather clock is fake, it had electronics inside, the glass in front of the face isn't glass, its plastic. Only the hands are metal. OMG I saw a full length mirror on the back of the left door of the wardrobe, I didn't see it before as I only opened the right one and saw it was empty. I can finally see how I look. I strip off and look into the mirror, OMG my eyes, they are like cat eyes freaky but cool. My hair is kind of spikey and growing back, my ears are pointy like spock's...weird, off course now I see I have a fucking TAIL. Now that is just screwed up. I have to say my body is firm, my breasts and buttocks are firm too and pert.
DAY 10
I'm kind of getting used to my new looks, I can even move my tail just like moving a limb, holy crap I can't believe I'm getting used to looking like a cat. I can hear footsteps, food is early I thought but it wasn't food. 3 of these things enter, hard to describe. They have over sized heads with all veins showing. Facial features are minimal and they look pretty much alike. Then they spoke, in English. I said to the Alien I was surprised to hear you speak English. It told me they have been studying Earth for many years. I asked of the craft that crashed was anything to do with them. and he told me it was, they had come to remove Humans from Earth. He continued to tell me that he had been asked by the Earth Human's creators to remove all Humans as they only seem interested in destroying each other and Earth. I enquired about the creators comment and was told it is none of your concern any more. I asked how they had planned to remove us and he told me they had formulated a liquid that they was going to deposit into the water ways on Earth, once ingested it would destroy the weak and resurrect those who die who would then instantly infect the other and eventually all die. He then told me that the plan was not needed in the end and the typical greedy and stupid Humans infected themselves with the liquid instead.
I asked him if trying to help us to improve and help us put the wrongs right would have been a more humane option but he replied with a line about Humans would not have listened and would have tried to destroy them too like they destroy everything else. I said it was a long drawn out way of getting rid of us and he told me it worked and was more natural as once infected the Humans returned to a more primitive Human as they were when 1st on Earth, savages and eating everything. I told him it had not worked as there were still Humans alive and gathering strength. He told me that once the infected had finished infecting if there happened to be any uninfected left they would be hunted down and destroyed. I told him we would see about that, he replied saying that I wouldn't need to worry about that as they had other plans for me. He said over the years they had been trying to improve the inferior, weak and destructive people we had become. I commented on how they were the destructive ones annihilating and mutilating intelligent species. He reminded me that removing of the Humans was not their idea and they were only trying to improve Humans and using the other living things on Earth to make the improvements. Something Humans could have done themselves.
I told him his so called improvements have been a disaster from what I have seen. He replied that they have had some great success, the amphibians they created from Humans using sea life from Earth is flourishing on a planet of oceans. The insect or Xenophobia versions of Humans are very powerful, resourceful and resilient. So much that a hunter species take great pride in hunting and was back on Earth in a underground pyramid near Antarctica. Less than 10 years ago. He also told me that I was a success, an unexpected one, as they were not planning on doing any more and when I boarded the crashed ship and accessed the control panel that would have revealed that there still crew aboard, you left them no choice but to take action and he said I should be thankful they chose not to kill me. I told him that was a big mistake. He then told me there is still a problem as there are not many Humans left to create more like me they would have to find similar species to breed with me. I told him any breeding with me would be my choice, he told me I had no choice and I told him we will see about that. He laughed and left. I needed to get out of here. I opened the face of the grandfather clock and pulled off the metal minute hand and waited for lunch to arrive.
It wasn't long before it arrived, the server arrived with another this time, a guard. Now was the time to test my speed and strength. I rushed them and slit the throat of the server with the metal clock hand, the guard knocked it out of my hand and it stuck in the floor. He grabbed me by the throat, he was strong but they gave me a tail, a tail that could reach that metal clock hand, wrap around it and pick it up, thrust it between my legs and stab it into his crotch. He let go and I knocked him over. He got back up and came running at me, at this point I had had enough and I could feel something welling up inside me and my natural instinct was to flex my hands and out came claws through those holes in my fingers. I then slashed his throat open and ran out of the door.
I found an air vent grill, pulled it off, climbed in, pulled the grill back up behind me and scampered along the air vent. I found made my way near a huge room with more space crafts in. With my enhanced hearing I could hear clearly what the Aliens were saying, the only trouble is they were speaking some Alien language but it seems they don't have an Alien word for Earth because I heard one mention Earth. Maybe one of these ships was going to return there, they were loading them with big plastic crates, maybe with supplies in, I had to find which one and get on it. I saw above me there was a viewing platform, I climbed out of the vent and up to the platform, I found my tail very useful for balance, extra limb and extra grip especially for climbing. I viewed out of the window and OMG there was Earth, we was in a huge ship or a space station of some sort and orbiting Earth. I remembered John, I need to find him and get him out of here plus anyone else they had put in those cells. I carefully made my way to the cells, managing to avoid any Aliens then alarms started, they must have noticed I was not in my room.
I eventually found the cells and John, he laughed and said he knew the alarm would be because of me, he knew I would escape. Between us we bent his bars and he was out, He told me the rest were taken and probably destroyed. I said we are in a huge ship or space station of some sort orbiting Earth and we need to destroy this and take one of the smaller transport ships. John told me there is a power room, it has some sort of energy core in it that must power this thing. He led the way, we met some Aliens on the way, I took some out and John pounded the rest to death with mighty blows. Bet they regret giving him that strength now. We got to the power room, it was locked we tried to break in but the door was real secure. John got angrier and angrier and it seems stronger and stronger hammering on the door and eventually he smashed it down. He told me to run and before I could say or do anything he ran straight for the core with the Aliens firing some sort of electric, energy or laser beams as him. It wasn't slowing him down much and I could see what he was going to do and I ran for cover. I think he just jumped straight into the core and it exploded.
Everything shut down, I started floating, the artificial gravity had gone off, it went dark too but my eyes soon adjusted to it. I could see the Aliens stumbling around bumping into stuff, they could not see like I could in this dark. They were easy pickings for me, with my sight and my claws they were no match. I headed back to the room with the transport ships. They had all gone, I was stuck on this thing and I had a feeling it was loosing orbit and loosing it fast. There was nothing I could do but wait for the inevitable. It started to shake, I could see a glow coming from the viewing platform, we were burning up entering Earth's atmosphere, it started breaking up and I ran to the back of it. A hole broke open not far from me. I could see clouds, then land, then water, more land, it was getting closer and I thought this is the end. Then I saw water again, it was close this is my chance I have to jump while we are over water. I went for it as I flew out of the back I looked around and saw what I had been spending the last few days in. It was a huge Mother Ship, it plunged into the water and I prepared myself to do the same. I was in the diving position but I still hit hard and hell didn't that hurt. but I survived at least.
As the ship was falling it looked like we was over India, then maybe the Indian Ocean, then maybe Madagascar and now I think I am in The Atlantic. There was a huge boom and a massive plume of water came up a few hundred meters behind me, it must have been the ship. All of a sudden there was loads of debris floating on the water including some of those big crates. I swam towards one and scrambled on top of it. I broke the lid open, I was right it had supplies in, food, drink ETC. I climbed in and grabbed something to paddle with. I think all I have to do is head North. It was getting dark I collapsed into the crate and rested. I must have nodded off, I woke and looked out. I could see land, I paddled towards it and climbed out into the beach dragging the crate. I grabbed a load of supplies and headed off.
I was back in South Africa, I headed towards the crashed ship. My Helicopter had gone, I went inside the ship and saw the dairy and head cam had gone too. I went back out and headed towards the Science building. There was no Z's here any more but there was some weapons and ammo laying around. I grabbed a pistol and rifle and entered the building. There was still power, I made my way to where Ash was, there was no sign of her but there was blood on the floor that wasn't there before. I guess it was hers. I switched the computer on and looked for that dictionary. I found it and started printing it out, then I heard something. I could hear voices, it was the Aliens, I left the computer printing and made my way to the roof.
It was still dark but I was able to see them approaching, I laid down with the rifle poised, I could see about 50 of them. I shot one at the back of the group hoping they wouldn't notice, then a 2nd, a 3rd, 4th and 5th. That time some noticed, they seemed to think they were being attacked from the rear, they slowed and looked confused which gave me a chance to take some more out. Number 6, 7, 8 went down, then they noticed where the shots were coming from. they started firing back and I laid down flat. I could hear the fizzing sound of their guns but it seemed a little distant like they were not close enough. I was still out of their range and gave me more time to pop them with the rifle. Number 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 went down, they started running towards the science building. I took another 7 out before I was in range of their guns. I managed to get another 8 before they reached the building. they were heading around the side to the entrance and I leaned over the edge of the roof and took out another 6 with rapid fire from the pistol.
They were now inside, I didn't want them to destroy the dictionary so I had to go back down to that room. I estimated there was another 14 Aliens. I waited by the stairs and saw 4 of them looking up the middle, I took 3 of them out, I could hear them shuffling up the stairs flat against the wall so I couldn't get a shot in and popping out now and again to take a shot at me. I wish I had some grenades. I pulled back into the room, I threw some desks and chairs down the stars to try and block their way and slow them down a bit. There was still too many for me to take out while they cleared the way, though I reached round the corner and took some shots, I think I got one. I pulled back again making makeshift defences with what was left of the tables and placing the computer and printer on the floor against the back wall so it could finish its task.
One Alien stuck his arm around the door and fired, then stuck his head round and I got him straight between the eyes. Another ran across the doorway, I missed it. One ran in the room and I shot him. Still 8 left, then I heard them shouting something. Someone else had entered the building, the Aliens started shooting at them.. Then I saw who had come in, it was some Z's, they must have heard the firing. I barricaded the door, the printing had finished. I grabbed it all and waited. It had all gone quiet on the floor below. I sent the elevator down and heard shots being fired into it when it reached the floor below. I ran down the stairs and saw 3 Aliens standing there looking into the elevator and then back at the Z's and some dead Aliens on the floor. 3 quick shots from the pistol took them down and some more in the heads of the 2 on the floor. There was 3 more injured outside the door. They seem to plead with me, after what they had done to our planet no amount of pleading was going to help them. I shot them, and a few stray Z's that were hanging around still.
I headed the direction the Aliens came from and saw the 5 ships, I also saw what looked like some buildings near by on a hill. I decided to check them out and it turned out to be a temporary military outpost. There was a couple of trucks and a Jeep parked outside, inside there were some Z's in military clothing. I sneaked past them into a back room. There was some more rifle ammo and a cupboard full of guns, knives and some swords. I grabbed a sword and the ammo, the Z's had heard me. I had missed using the sword and soon took care of the Z's. There were more outside, I crept past and checked out the trucks, one was empty and the other had some explosives in. I grabbed the explosives and put then in the Jeep. I jumped into the back of one of the trucks and started knocking on the side to attract the Z's. They started climbing in and I jumped out the front, ran round the back and closed the tail gate.
I drove the truck to the edge of the hill shut the engine off and jumped out. It rolled down heading straight for the Alien ships, it turned and rolled over sending Z's flying out the back of it. While the Aliens were occupied with the Z's I began taking them out with the rifle, I took out 8 of them, then ran back to the Jeep, set one of the charges to detonate on a timer and drove down the hill jumping out part way down. The Aliens jumped out of the way of the Jeep just as it exploded, the explosion took out 7 of them. I shot 5 more and ran down the rest of the way finishing off some that were injured. Another fired at me almost hitting me I fired back and missed, he went to fire again and got the shot it 1st and took him down, then finished him. I saw another running into one of the ships and took him out with the rifle. 2 more were injured on the floor, I finished them. I kept my distance form the Z's until I had finished searching for Aliens. There was one hidden inside one of the ships, he saw me and looked like he was pleading for his life too, he had no chance. I shot him and threw him out of the ship.
I got out the dictionary and tried to decipher how to fly this thing. I secured the door and decided to bed down for a few hours, it had been a long day.
DAY 11
It must have been about midday when I woke up, I could swear my canine teeth had grown, holy crap what else was going to change on me? I hope I don't start meowing and growing fur. I carried on studying the dictionary and ship. After a few failed attempts I managed to get the thing flying, after a hour or so I hid kind of got the hang of it. I couldn't seem to get any communications to work but what looked like a radar was working. I flew out to try and find a Helicopter, I didn't feel safe in this and expected to get shot down as soon as I went near any Humans. I saw on Radar there were 2 objects in the Atlantic near where the Mother Ship went down, I decided to check them out, I could see one was a submarine and the other was HMS Ocean. I headed towards HMS Ocean hoping they would not fire at me. I could see my helicopter on board, I could also see they were alerted and all guns were pointing at me, I slowed down, I took up a normal unthreatening landing position coming in slowly and making it obvious I wanted to land. I could see crew on the deck pointing guns at me too.
I landed and got out slowly with my hands in the air. I could see they wasn't sure what to do and I shouted that if they shot me I would be well pissed off after what I just been through. I think they recognised my voice, they lowered their guns and walked towards me. I knew it wasn't over as they hadn't seen me properly yet. Then they did and the guns came back up. I told them to calm down and it is really me and then told them all about the abduction, the experiments on me, the Mother Ship and the 5 other transport ships that landed. After asking me various security questions they came closer to inspect me. They looked a little freaked, and when they saw I had a tail they were well freaked.
The Captain welcomed me back and was glad I was alive and said there was probably some great surgeons that could probably get me back to normal and I said in a weird way I had got used to my new looks and kind of liked it much to his amazement. He told me he had found my Diary and showed me what he had written in it. I was flattered by what he had written and thanked him. I handed it back, I told him to keep it safe and I had started writing another one. I asked what was going on here with the submarine and he told me there had been a distress call from a Russian submarine, and they had just arrived when I showed up.
I said I would be happy to go with them and investigate. We cruised up beside them and boarded the submarine. We entered and immediately saw Z's, we were wondering how they could have got in here. I took them out with the sword, then I saw an Alien but it looked like he was a Z. I had seen it all now. I was stood in a Russian submarine with an Alien Zombie. I guess they were not immune to that liquid they created either. I had absolutely no qualms in driving my sword through that fucker. After taking out the rest of the Z's it looked like the whole crew had been infected. We then heard something in the torpedo room. Out of one of the torpedo tubes came one of the crew, he didn't look infected and was glad to see us and freaked at the sight of me. I told him its ok and its a long story and asked what his story was.
He told us that they had been cruising around in the East trying to find somewhere to disembark but everywhere seemed to be over run with Z's. They were traveling through the Indian Ocean when they saw on radar the 5 objects flying over followed later by a bigger one and they decided to check the big one out. When they arrived they detected the object and gallons and gallons of unknown liquid in the area and also on the surface was lots of debris and something trying to swim. They brought it on board, it looked Alien but seemed friendly, then it suddenly attacked them, biting the crew. He said we ran trying to find weapons or somewhere to hide and he had chosen the torpedo tube and stayed there until he heard our voices.
The liquid must be the same stuff that was in the crashed craft and the South African military used. I guess the Alien ingested some of it then drowned and it brought him back as a Z. The Captain said the scientists had mentioned the liquid is very flammable. The Russian crewman said he didn't plan on staying in the sub and wouldn't mind sinking it and blowing it up down below and burning up the liquid and destroying what was down there. He and the Captain organised it and sent me with another crew member in a Helicopter to go and retrieve the other 4 Alien crafts and bring them back to HMS Ocean. We dragged out the containers in the crashed ship, opened them and set fire to them, making sure not to breath any of the smoke in. I flew one of the Alien ships back with the Helicopter following ready to take me back to the next one. The submarine had disappeared by then. By the time I had got the 3rd ship HMS Ocean had moved a bit away from the area. We was just leaving for the last one when there was a huge explosion and a massive plume of water rose up. That was the submarine and hopefully the Mother Ship and its contents blowing up. I arrived back with the last ship.
We set a heading back to the oil tanker, ferries and science vessel near Littleview. The Captain ordered long range strike on the crashed Alien ship and a guided missile was sent, it seemed to take it out but he sent me to check it out. I flew back there and saw it had been obliterated, just as I heard a message from the Captain saying they had received a message from the oil tanker saying they were under attack from some strange flying craft. I said I would head straight there. When I arrived there I saw a white space craft hovering above a ferry, I could also see the other ferry partly sunk and loads of people on the oil tanker firing at the craft. I activated weapons and fired a couple of missiles at it, hitting it and sending it spinning. It headed away and towards Littleview. I fired 2 more, one hit and I saw the door open and it tilted over suddenly, the next missile hit and sent it crashing into the water close to Littleview. I radioed HMS Ocean letting them know the attacker was disabled.
I landed on the tanker and could see people already being rescued out of the water with the rest cheering at me for taking the craft out. I stepped out of the helicopter, the people recognised me and ran towards me and even though I was back in military uniform all of a sudden they stopped dead looking at me. I told them it was rude to stare and it was ok, its still me with a few Alien experimental bits forced onto me. After everyone was rescued out of the water and resettled we saw the space craft had floated out near the oil tanker, some divers went down but said they could not see any one on board. Someone said as they went down in the water near Littleview they would have surely drowned, even if they survived the crash and tried to swim out the currents would have kept them under and smashed them against the rocks.
We spent the next few hours trying to figure out what that space craft was and if it was connected with the others. The rest of the day was spent telling people what had happened to me and everyone wanted to touch my tail. Some were fascinated, some horrified, some pitied me, some comforted me, some were jealous and the rest volunteered to cut my tail off. I had had enough of the attention. I snuck back to the helicopter and got my head down.
DAY 12.
I woke up, found some shades, tucked my ears into my hat and tucked my tail down one of my pant legs. the day was uneventful, thank goodness. I found Ilona and her Sister, they had just come back from looting and I showed them and told them what had happened to me. They were impressed with my new look.
DAY 13
HMS Ocean arrived. As they had left the Mother Ship area they fished out a couple of barrels of the liquid that were floating in the water. they said they couldn't see any more and hoped the rest was destroyed. But it was still recommended that people be careful as there had been a lot of that stuff in the Ocean and it could reach other water sources if it all had not been destroyed. So make sure the water is safe and also make sure any time of sea food is checked thoroughly. The barrels of liquid were securely stored away, the Captain said the Scientists would probably want to study that more.
I grabbed all my belongings...which wasn't much...and boarded HMS Ocean and bagged myself one of the rooms on it. I felt more at home and safer on there.
I guess this is the end of this diary but I will start another one as I feel the need to document what will be a very hard struggle to try and get back to some sort of normality.
Humans (The Undead Part 3)
It has been 43 days since the craft crashed in South Africa,
So day 43 is where I am going to start my new diary from.
DAY 43
I woke up in my cabin on HMS Ocean. I am writing this diary just in case we don’t make it and if someone finds this diary they will know what happened.
Just as I am writing this the Captain knocked on the door to let me know some Breakfast would be ready soon and I let him know that I would be there soon after I had made some quick notes. I told him what notes I was doing, he filled in some gaps I had by telling me how long I had been missing since I left to go to South Africa.
It has been 2 days since my tail has stopped growing and any other parts that seemed to be growing too. My tail is about 50 inches long now.
It has been 3 days since I got back to the oil tanker and found it under attack from some strange white space craft, we don’t know who it was of if it had anything to do with the Aliens we had encountered.
After the Captain filled in some details I now know it has been 16 days since I was abducted, experimented on and altered. It seems I lost 2 days as I thought it had been 14 days but it did feel as though it had been a bit longer. Maybe I was being operated on or whatever they did for those 2 days before I finally woke up.
It has been 38 days since I was given the 1st mission to Littleview.
When that craft crashed 43 days ago it was only a few days later when the 1st report come in about someone who had a Zombie like infection and it had been one of the South African Military. Not long after that there was reports of similar things happening in the US town of Littleview and according to data I had retrieved from there an American Soldier who was helping with training in using some new weapon in South Africa that the South African‘s had upgraded to was sexually involved with one of their female soldiers. He told the medical staff in the military hospital in Litrtleview that he was quickly sent back to the US by the South African government with no reason. His 1st day back in the US he had a minor injury while training, there didn’t seem to be much information after that on how he infected others but the scientists think he was infected by the female soldier.
I left my cabin to go get some Breakfast and during Breakfast I was told they were going to attempt to raise the White Space Craft out of the water. While they were organising this I went back to my cabin, tucked my tail down my pants, put a hat on to cover my ears and some shades to cover my eyes. I then flew over to Littleview taking with me some people who wanted to go over there and help rebuilding the town. As I arrived I flew around and saw all the rubble from the old city was pushed near the edge of the area and a huge pile was at the West end. Also around the outside there seemed to be a huge double wooden wall being built. The 2 Chinooks were also flying in and out dropping off building supplies.
I landed and got talking to one of the workmen, he told me they were going to pour concrete between the wooden walls and will also be piling the rubble in there with the concrete to strengthen it all. There would also be watch towers built along the walls. The pile of rubble in the east was going to be used with more concrete to form supports for the bridge they are going to build across to the mainland. There will be guard towers and a huge gate there also. There will also be stores, schools, factories, a Farm and may more places. I other words a whole new town. There will also be rows and rows of apartments maybe 2 or 3 stories high to accommodate all the people that have been rescued and hopefully a lot more to come.
I saw some people near the Helicopter, I thought they were maybe waiting to go back to the ferry or oil tanker but when I got closer I could hear a broadcast of some sort. Thy were all listening to a broadcast on a radio. It was coming from England, the BBC World Service was up and running again. They were talking about what had happened but they were not very accurate, I guess they have been limited to the information they had be able to get hold of. I flew back to HMS Ocean and said that I was going to fly over to England and find whoever was broadcasting.
I packed to supplies and set off to the UK on the way there I had tuned into the broadcast and heard they were at a place called Salisbury Plain which has the famous landmarks Stonehenge. A few hours later I was over England and it wasn’t long before I found the place. I saw a van there with a huge aerial on it. I landed near by and found 3 men there. I told them that we had heard them from the US and they were well pleased that they were being heard so far away. I didn’t show them my eas, eyes and certainly not my tail yet.
They me they were a local reporter who’s Brother worked for the BBC, the other was a TV director also at the BBC and the 3rd was a employee at ESA (European Space Agency). The ESA guy was able to log in and gain back control of some satellites, the director was able to set up the broadcasts and the reporter was the one who had been broadcasting messages. They had decided to set up at Salisbury Plain as it was a long way from the city, so it would be safer and away from where the biggest numbers of Z’s were. Also it is a well known place for people to come and find them. So they set up there a couple of days ago and would be there for a few more days before moving on and broadcasting where they were heading.
I told them their facts that they had been broadcasting were not very accurate and I had seen 1st hand what had happened. They said they would like to get me on air to let people know what had happened. I agreed. We went live and I mentioned about the object in South Africa and how it was a space craft, about how people had become infected in the 1st place and also the ways people can get infected. Also giving advice on the best ways to protect yourself, how to survive, how to kill the Z’s etc. I also told them about Littleview, the people there and what they are up to at the moment. The I told them about my abduction, they didn’t seem to believe about the space craft and seemed to believe even less about what had happened to me, until I showed them what changes had been forced upon me. When they eventually calmed down after seeing my tail etc they started believing me.
After the broadcast had ended I said to them I would stay with them for a while in case any people showed up. If a lot came then they would need to be transported to somewhere safe, maybe back over to Littleview. A few hours later I decided o get back in the helicopter and get some sleep.
DAY 44
I woke up to a message from the Captain asking if everything was ok, I told him about the 3 men and he said that HMS Ocean has facilities for broadcasting like they are doing and it would be safer for them to be there. I told them and they agreed but they said they would like to a BBC studio to pick up more equipment as they wanted to get more information out other than just over the radio. They said if they could get the right equipment they would be able to send out via television, the Internet and CB radio frequencies. One of the guys came with me while the other 2 stayed n the van. We found the studio which once again we were lucky because it had a helipad on the roof. We got in but had been heard flying in by thousands of Z’s. The main doors seemed secure and we hoped they would hold.
Inside the building there were quite a few Z’s, I led the way, this was the 1st time since I had been altered. My extra strength, speed and of course a sword made short work of the Z’s we were in and out in no time with the equipment. I found a small military base which was pretty much empty of Z’s, I refuelled the helicopter and flew back to the van. The equipment was set up and some more broadcasts were sent out to test it. It all seemed to work perfectly. We stayed there that night.
DAY 45
No one showed up over night, in fact, no one has showed up at all since the guys been here. I can’t believe no one else is around or no one else has heard the broadcasts. We loaded up the equipment into the helicopter, the 3 guys got in and we started heading back to the US. After an hour or so we were near the West coast when we aw a ferry. I recognised it, it was one from Littleview that got over run with Z’s. I could see 2 people on its roof waving. There was no way I could land on it so I landed close and told everyone else to stay inside helicopter.
I got out and ran to the ferry that was beached, I could see the main door was smashed open and I remember the Captain of the ferry had closed the door as soon as he realised Z’s were coming aboard. Inside there was a lot of Zombie body parts splattered all over the place and lots of damage. There were a few Z’s still inside which I took care of with the sword and made it out onto the roof with the people we saw waving. They told me that they had seen the ferry coming in and thought maybe people were aboard and as they got close to it the main door burst open and some huge thing came thundering out and disappeared into the town followed by some Z’s. They told me that they waited a while for the Z’s to clear and decided to get on board as they were out in the open and vulnerable and didn’t chance going back towards the town again. They managed to get to the top floor but found themselves trapped by Z’s and ended up climbing onto the roof.
All 3 of us climbed down and ran back through the ferry and back to the helicopter to join the other 3 guys. I took off and headed back on a heading back to the US, I hadn’t gone far when I saw it, this huge black creature. It looked like those bit Z’s with the bones sticking out if it but this one was much bigger and it had armour on just like what we saw in one of the buildings at the science lab in Littleview. It was running around smashing stuff up looking around like it was after people to kill, turning over cars and breaking through fences. I activated the helicopter machine guns and let rip. I sprayed it with bullets but with little effect, I hardly scratched him and it ran off into some woods.
I needed to get going or the helicopter would run out of fuel before we got back to the US. So set off again and as soon as we set off I saw something again, just when you think nothing would ever surprise you again. There was a very posh looking train with one carriage and on the carriage was the name BROOKE in big letter, painted on with white paint. I circled around it and someone climbed out onto the roof. What is it with people and roofs lately? They started waving, I landed near. Another man came out of the carriage and came running over. He told me there was a VIP in the carriage and we needed to get them to a safe place. I told them to move quickly, he said to me they wont be moving too quick. I was wondering who it could be.
The guy on the roof had a gun and was keeping a look out, the other went back in the carriage and escorted a woman out and brought her to the helicopter, the other guy jumped off of the roof and ran over too. They all got into the helicopter. There was a big crash and loads of debris was flying around, someone shouted to take of now, the big black Z was coming. I opened up the helicopter and roared up into the air as quick as it would go. That thing was huge and almost reached us and we didn’t have time to hang around to fight it. We had none other than Her Majesty The Queen on board with 2 of her personal guards. On the flight back to the US one of the guards told me they were in a secret safe location underground with HM and heard the broadcasts and had heard me on them too. Unfortunately they were only able to receive signals and not transmit due to some explosion above them. HM wanted to get out of there and get to HMS Ocean and suggested they take the Royal train along to where they thought my flight path should be back to the States. One of the guys painted my name on top of the carriages and they waited and hoped I would see it.
I let the Captain know we had a special guest arriving, a few hours we arrived at HMS Ocean and landed. What was left of the crew and the Captain gave her a Royal welcome and they rushed her inside into a specially prepared cabin. The 3 guys who were broadcasting were escorted into the communications room and began to set up their equipment. The 2 from the roof of the ferry were taken to meet some of the other people already settled here and were shown to some living quarters. I saw the white craft had been raised and was on the deck of the oil tanker. I went over and took a look, I was told there was no-one inside and it looked undamaged inside too. It was all very modern looking and more sophisticated than the other crafts. Didn’t look like it was anything to do with the Aliens I had met and didn’t look like anything from Earth. Some people were inside trying to figure out how it works and where it came from. Later I was asked to dine with HM, she wanted to know more details about what had happened, she was curious about my enhancements and what that huge creature was. We were talking for hours, she said she wanted to broadcast a message out as she thought it might help people to hear a familiar voice. It had been another long day and was time for me to retire back to my cabin and get some sleep.
DAY 46
I spent the day with some scientists in the white craft trying to figure out how it works. HM sent out a broadcast. Not much else happened this day.
DAY 47
Back in the white craft, I was going to have a try at flying it. The scientists did well at figuring it all out as we were flying in no time. It was quite easy to fly and handled like a dream. Captain told me he had been receiving a load of radio messages from people since HM’s broadcasts. There were a load of people from all over mainland Europe and far east heading for the UK. He said I should head over there again and make sure they get to somewhere safe. He would also get the 2 Chinooks to fly over too with supplies and begin bringing people back over to the US. A couple of Marines and I set off over to the UK again. After a few hours we were there and heading over to the Channel Tunnel keeping an eye out for that huge Z. We arrived at the tunnel to see thousands of people pouring out of it. I hovered low to let the marines out who gave them instructions to keep moving and try and find somewhere safe. I couldn’t land because I could see people surging towards the helicopter. I could tell they were going to try and jump in and there was no way they could all get in.
The mass of people had exited the tunnel, a few at the back had guns and were firing at something in the tunnel, it was a load of Z’s. I went up high to see if I could see a big building, I saw a huge warehouse complete joined to another building with a big helipad on the roof. I radioed the Marines and they started leading people there taking out an Z’s they saw on the way. I hovered back down low activated the helicopter machine gun and started mowing down the big horde of Z’s that followed the people through the tunnel. I got a radio message from one of the Marines, the giant Z was near by. Pretty much all of the Z’s from the tunnel were a pile of mush now, I flew up again looking for the giant one, it wasn’t long before I saw it and it was heading straight for the people.
I opened fire on the giant one but it wasn’t doing much to it and it ran straight through the crowd of people smashing them all over the place. I got closer and fired straight in its face, that got it’s attention and started back up allowing it to follow me drawing it away from the people. I drew it away for an hour or so, taking shots at it when I could , my ammo was getting low. I managed to get it out in the open and let rip with a missile, it knocked it back, I fired 2 more and knocked it over. I flew back to get a better shot, it grabbed a car, ripped the door off of it and threw it. I tried to get out of the way but it hit the rear rotor, I began spinning out of control and crash landed. The giant Z came running over and ripped the door off of the helicopter, I grabbed the sword and stabbed it’s hand. I grabbed my pistol as it stuck it’s head right in the door like it was about to eat me. I fired a bunch of shots in it’s face which made it stagger back. I grabbed a machine gun and emptied it in it’s head, grabbed the rifle, ran out of the helicopter to get a better position. I aimed the rifle and shot one of it’s eyes, then shot the other one. It was now blind and swiping around trying to find me.
I got in a building and waited, it just stood there silent, like it was listening. It was slowly edging towards me, I think it could smell me as I wasn’t making any noise. I ran around it slashing it with the sword, hitting and turning and hitting and turning. It was going to take forever to kill it by melee and I didn’t have enough ammo to take it out and defend myself from the other Z’s. I ran back into the building and out the back door looking for a car or something to get me across the UK quickly. The radio in the helicopter was broken so I had no way of letting anyone know where I was or hearing how the others were. I found and old van and started driving west.
After an hour or so I arrived where the ferry was, I got in closed the doors, cleared out a few Z’s and tried to figure out how the dam n thing works. Not much was working on it including the radio, not having much luck with radios today. I got it started and got it moving, at least navigation was working. I set it on its way, it was going to take a few days and I couldn’t fix the radio so nothing to do but relax.
DAY 48, 49 & 50
As there was nothing I could do I had a chance to relax, even some naked sunbathing on the deck. It was the 1st time I had to chill out for a long time. Even my tail got a little brown.
I was getting near to the HMS Ocean I could see it in the distance, a few minutes later I saw a helicopter heading towards me. I waved and they landed on the deck. It was from HMS Ocean and on board was one of the Captains that was on one of the ferries in the Littleview rescue mission. I was glad to see him as I was wondering how and when to stop this thing in time so I didn’t run into anything. The Captain said he would take control and got flew back to HMS Ocean.
I told Captain Betton what had happened, he told me everyone thought the giant Z had got me. He said the people were still held up in the warehouse and had fortified the place for now. He also said a ferry was just going to be heading around the east coast of the UK and as soon as the other one was back and refuelled that would be heading there too. I told him more and more people were pouring into the UK through the tunnel along with loads of Z’s following them. Plus that giant Z was still around there somewhere. I said maybe I should take the white craft and get over there. He said it was my choice. I went over the science vessel and asked if any of them would come with me as they had studied the craft too. 2 said they would be happy to help.
We got in the craft and headed to the UK. The craft is quick and it didn’t take long, just a few minutes to get there. We began scanning, the craft had good scanning capabilities and also good weapons. It had some sort of energy pulse weapon as well as a laser weapon. It’s energy source seem to be unlimited and drew its energy from light similar to solar power but a lot more efficient. Each time a Z’s was detected it was taken out with the laser. It wasn’t long before we got to the warehouse and something else had arrived there too, the giant Z. It was thumping the walls of the warehouse, cracking them, it would soon break in. The marines were on the roof firing at it. I took a shot at it with the laser, it got its attention and it started heading towards us, we fired the energy weapon, it sent it flying backwards. It started to get up again, I had had enough of this and fired the laser at its neck slicing it’s head off. It’s head was still alive, we landed and brought it aboard. The scientists want to take it back and study it.
We started flying back, eliminating any Z’s was saw on the way. After a few minute we came across HMS Ocean sailing out to sea. I landed on it. The Captain said HM wanted to go and see how things were coming along at Littleview, one of the crew flew her over there and someone was also preparing a room on the science vessel for her so HMS Ocean could travel around the world looking for more survivors. He said I should stay on board with the white craft and come too and he would radio the helicopter to stay and help out in the US.
DAY 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57 & 58
Over the past few days we kept in touch with what was going on back in the US and UK. The Chinooks have been taking people over to the US from the UK and also bringing more supplies and building materials to Littleview. As HMS Ocean was near the UK I continued to fly over taking out as many Z’s as I could with a view to eventually clearing the UK and maybe setting it up similar to what they were doing at Littleview. I was using HMS Ocean as my base flying back after each mission and then as soon as we were near other places we through may still have some Human population I flew over looking for anyone and sending radio messages out at the same time to let people know we were there. We had found quite a few survivors and the Z’s were getting less and less. People were able to stay away from them more and more and being more careful when someone died to make sure they stayed dead following the information broadcasts we had been sending out. Plus the Z’s were still decomposing, eventually the part of the brain that still had activity in would eventually fail and they would finally die.
DAY 59
I had flown over most of Europe now, picking up more people. Each day it got a little easier, it seems like we were over the worst of it as the Z’s began to die out. During a break from searching we decided to study the craft more while we were on the ship. We wanted to try and find who it belonged to and where it was from. The scientists had a break from studying the giant Z head and help figure out the mysteries of the craft. Not quite sure what we did but all of a sudden a huge vortex of some sort opened up, we were all dragged in, HMS Ocean included. We then found ourselves and an ocean, one we didn’t recognise. The radio broadcasts had stopped and the radar didn’t recognise where we were.
All of a sudden we were surrounded by a load of the white crafts, there was no point in fighting not even the mighty HMS Ocean couldn’t handle this many crafts. A few land on deck and we are escorted on board one. We were taken to a cell.
DAY 60
Next Morning we are escorted to a big room with people sitting all around like a meeting room. They introduce them selves as our creators and explain how they now have no use for us as we are only interested in destroying each other and the planet. They employed the Aliens to drop a virus that would slowly kill off the Earth Humans, but as we saw the Humans did it to themselves by injecting it after the craft crashed.
They explain it wasn’t the 1st time they had tried this and made it look like a Human accident.
In 1932 there was a failed attempt to turn humans into Zombies by one of the creators and again in 1936. Some headlines in some local papers mentioned White Zombies.
In 1966 they infected a small town which reported a Plague of Zombies, it was blamed on voodoo.
In 1968 a Creator posing as a Doctor tried turning dead people into Zombies with hope of controlling them only for them to turn on the Creator, the plan was abandoned.
In 1968 again another attempt was made by infecting a satellite that was orbiting Venus and then deliberately sent back to Earth to crash and infect Humans. The town was infected but soon controlled. The government covered it up and filed it as Night of the Living Dead.
Many more attempts were made through the 70’s, mostly in Europe and specially in Italy where more voodoo and rituals were blamed.
In 1978 10 years after a town was infected there were more reports of towns near by having a few people being infected with people sheltering in a mall. Later this was filled as Dawn of the Dead.
Various small attempts in the 1980’s were made in rural places mainly in waterways that effected a few secluded places in woods.
In 1985 an announcement was made admitting there had been an outbreak of a virus that had threatened to wipe out the Human population, after people who were in the mall in an American town escaped in a helicopter to alert the military, the situation was quickly taken care of. This was filed as Day of the Dead.
At the end of the 80’s there were unconfirmed reports of the military having obtained some barrels of contaminated bodies which were damaged and caused the dead to rise. This was quickly taken care of and covered up and all reports of the Return of the Living Dead were quashed.
In the 90’s there were even movies made claiming to be based on real events of the Living Dead and Zombies. But along with all the so called reports all were pushed aside as rumours and fiction.
Follow some reports of so called Doctors trying to bring the dead back to life a scientist now known as the Re-Animator was found to have tried to re-animate dead bodies on several occasions. This did not involve any intervention of the Creators but most probably was inspired by rumours of the Creator posing as a Doctor trying this before.
In 1993 more experiments were made by the military this time but experiments were destroy after they failed. This was filled as Return of the Living Dead but no connection to the others, was later marked as #3 to stop confusion with the original files.
Captain Betton mentions many diaries of the dead, zombie diaries and video diaries have been found online, some of which were true, some were fake and inspired by true events but again all were classed as fiction. Some of the best known are from UK military files entitled 28 Days later and 28 Weeks later. Where like the infected American town in the 60’s these were also covered up.
The Creator tells us there have many of them who worked their way into various militaries across Earth and that is how they know about the files.
In 2005 more files were found entitled Land of the Dead laying out plans about what action may be taken if a Zombie outbreak occurred and threatened life on earth.
In 2007 in Spain more experimental work caused an outbreak causing a apartment block being quarantined and unconfirmed outbreaks near by too. All of which Creators had no direct involvement and cemented their reason for taking out Earth Humans as they easily are swayed into taking themselves out. A similar report the following year in the US was unconfirmed.
The Creators told us they had their final review of Humans on Earth in December 2012 and agreed that Earth Humans have not evolved enough to take the next step and would be removed instead by sending a craft to infect everyone. I told the Creators they cannot just exterminate intelligent beings and I attacked them, taking out most of them and the other captured Humans taking out the rest. We ran out picking up the guards guns as we went. We managed to get hold of some of the white crafts and began fighting our way back to HMS Ocean, we dropped off the Captain and some crew who began attacking the Creators too with the ship. We lost a few people in the battle but there was a lull and I flew over this huge water plant dropping the giant severed Z head into it then fought our way back to the ship. Upon landing we activated the device aboard the white craft that brought us to what we know now to be the creators home world. We transport back complete with HMS Ocean back to where we originally were.
DAY 1064
Yes 1064, our trip to the Creators world may have been 24 hours to us but the way time moves seems much different there to here, even though it felt the same the 24 hours we were there was 2 years 9 months on Earth or 1004 days.
In the time we had been gone people on Earth had all gathered in the UK and a few stayed in Littleview. The British Isles had been cleared, repaired and the coast line had towers all around it ready for any attack from Alien visitors. The only way in is through the Channel Tunnel and that is heavily guarded. There has not been any Z’s seen for over a year now with those last ones being people who had recently died without being finished off completely before they changed.
We don’t know if the Creators will be back or if they have all been infected.
It’s going to take a few years to get the rest of the world cleaned up, make sure everything is safe again and Human’s venturing back out and around the globe.
It may be over 100 years before Earth and Human’s of Earth will get back to normal.
The End
