Infestation?

Hullo again. It's day two of the week long HvZ feature. Lets get this party started shall we?

Day Two:

I can't say I did much today. With no Friday classes, I had little reason to leave the dorm other than for nourishment purposes. As such, I did not leave more than three time before the mission. Once for lunch, once for dinner, and once to help retrieve a lost phone.
I had the option of going to a day mission at 3 today. But alas, I did not show. Why? Because I'm a lazy bum who didn't bother to shower until 2.30. lol.
I was slightly perturbed today when every time I left the dorm there were no zombies in sight. But it's ok. Tonight's mission proved to be more than enough to make up for the lack of day zombies.

Mission 2: Cornered Like Rats
Objective: Report to Deputy Director at South Bus Stop at 10.
Consequences: Failure to bring at least 2 scientists to the Deputy Director results in numerous Super Zombies.
Failure was not an option.

The small band of 5 I was running with was primarily a scouting/front guard group. On our way from our dorms at the very north end of campus we slowly advanced from our point position down the side of campus with another 2-3 teams behind us. All in all there were about 20 of us slowly making our way down the cow path guns and socks at the ready. Fortunantly, we encountered no hostiles between the dorm, and the south stop.
I was mildly concerned when we hit the quad however, there were two UPD officers slinking around the art museum, and as anyone can imagine, UPD and HvZ are not the best of friends. We continued on our way, and the officers didn't pay much attention to us thankfully.
When we did reach the stop we did encounter a little trouble, but this was mostly in the form of drunk frat guys wandering around and yelling that we all need to get laid. I was tempted to shoot them in the face. We did have a cop car pull up to one of our larger groups and freak the rest of us out. While the majority of us stood silently by, waiting for the inevitable 'loitering' or 'disturbance of the peace' claim we could only watch on with bated breath as our brethren were chatting with the boys in blue.
When the chat was finally over, one member of the unfortunant group started jogging over and called for Lemmy. This kid is human of the day, simply for how awesomly adorible the scene was. Forget that we're all 20-something and carrying nerf guns, it was awesome and adorible, and he's human of the day.
The cops had told them that the zombies were in the quad now. Many luls were had. The cops are on the human side, viva la resistance.
In any case, we got our orders, there were 3 scientists spread across campus, and we had to get them and get to the north bus stop. Seemed simple enough. We split into teams and squads and headed for our destinations.
My team, we headed for the center of campus. Of course, the zombies had gotten there first.
We swung around, at a stand-off for a while untill the zombies took off in the other direction. With the help of a backup team, they were quickly dispatched, and we were able to retrieve the poor kidnapped scientist. By this time, the other squads had retrieved their designated scientists and were already heading to the north stop.
And oh so lucky us, first with the zombies, then with the missing scientists, then with the recovered scientist, well we, we picked an old slow moving scientist.
In a painstakingly slow procession we made our way to the northern stop.
We thought we were finished, but that was untill we found out some CEO had left his jump drive back in Cooper, clear on the other side of campus. The side we had just come from.
After slight reorginization, my team was called on again as runners/scouts. The goal, make it to Cooper before anyone else, and secure the perimiter. We were paired up with another squad of pure runners and we made our way across campus. Apparently somewhere along the lines, we lost one member for a restroom break, and our team was ordered to remain behind and wait for him. After about 5 minutes and little deliberation we elected to keep to the code, and leave him behind. Turns out, he made it to Cooper before us. There had been a horde of zombies waiting for us outside Cooper, and thanks to our delay we didn't actually have to confront them, the other squad did however and managed to take them out without casualties. We did loose one from our squad however, because he ran off ahead and got himself killed. Dummy.
After awhile of waiting outside the Cooper doors, a few of us decided to take a bathroom break. And that was when the shit hit the fan so to speak. I came out of the bathroom and all hell had broken loose. Aparently one of the major teams had almost completly been anihilated by a roving band of zombies, and there was one known survivor, who was outside Cooper with the rest of us, freaking the heck out.
Turns out, he just got seperated from the group and only 2 members of the massive group had actually gotten tagged.
We received a backup squad after calling in with the (false) intel, and proceeded to escort the CEO and his crazed employee back to the north stop. This took an obcenely long amount of time considering the CEO couldn't seem to walk and talk on the phone and because the employee was apparently a diabetic, and she proceeded to have a (fake) panic attack and fallout on a bench for a few minutes. We were being tailed by zombies the whole time.
When we had finally made it most of the way back, our immediate path was blocked by the zombie horde. They were of no consequence as our massive amount of squads moved to take them out, and as reinforcements arrived from the north stop. Mission complete. Scientists recovered, jump drive delivered, and no super zombies of which to speak.
Getting back to the dorm proved much easier than expected as well. Maybe the zombies took off after the Lafollette group? Dunno don't care.

Day 2: Survived.
