Incubation

Heh. Sorry it's been so long. Again, I'd like to say I've been busy, and partially, I have been. But mostly, I've been playing zombie related games. And by zombie related games, I mean RE5 and Left 4 Dead. I loves them so. In any case, I'll be updating for the next week. It's a week long special! Of course, for me to have a week long special, it has to have something to do with zombies. And this week is HvZ. It makes me so happy. The following are my (enhanced for awesomeness) forays into the humans vs. zombies realm.

Day One:

It's incubation day. Rumors are going around about two original zombies. I trust no one. I was massively paranoid all day. I'd even gone so far as to separate the day into phases.

Phase 1: get to and from econ safely. Phase 1 went off without a hitch.

Phase 2: get all the way across campus for anthro. Phase 2 had no problems.

Phase 3: get back to the dorm from mid campus. Phase 3 complete.

Phase 4: survive the mission.

Phase 4 was the only difficult portion.

Tonight's Mission: Collect "debris" (boxes) and "fallout" (glow sticks)

I ran with a small band of close friends. We took no chances. Mavericks and Blow darts were locked and loaded, socks were close at hand should the need arise. Our band of 3 took the longest most roundabout way possible to get to the center of campus. Why? You could call us paranoid, which would partially be true, or you could call us well informed. Rumor had it that the OZ's and regular zombies were Lafollette residents. Lafollette zombies spell trouble for the entirety of the Lafollette, and Johnson complexes, any situation where Botswin could possibly be involved is dangerous for anyone in the area. So as a (massive) precaution, we walked the longest possible route to meet up with the other humans.

After a long paranoia-filled trek to the Atrium, we were briefed, and forced to turn around and go back the way we came. Stupid mission starting right where we came from.

There was a small (really small) horde waiting for us at our destination. One that could easily be taken out by our overwhelming numbers. And what did we do of course, we ran our asses the other direction. Quite lame, but we did manage to tag them all out. (after suffering completely unnecessary casualties) The humans proceeded to run around gathering up glow sticks and cardboard boxes. I myself elected to protect the one carrying all the glow sticks and a few boxes, which of course led to me carrying 3 large boxes and a few glow sticks myself. (it's not easy carrying 3 boxes and a Maverick) In the long run, we collected all the debris and fallout and proceeded to head back to the Atrium, with about 5 minutes to spare on all the zombies time out clocks.

You would think that'd be enough time to get back to the middle of campus and finish the dang mission. But no, for some reason everyone seemed to get it in their head that walking slowly in tiny little groups when we vastly outnumbered the enemy was a good idea.

I, of course, thought differently.

I ended up running half of campus with a couple other guys to ensure the glow sticks made it back safely BEFORE the (tiny) horde was back in play. (really, i wouldn't have it any other way)

Mission success, minimal (though completely unnecessary) casualties and we got to talk to a guy named mudkipz. Also, completely roundabout way on the way back to the dorm. It was the safest way what with botswin being an evil hell pit of doom and possible zombie lurker-ness.

Day 1: Survived.
