Turn 10: (How should time work for the RTD? Right now I'd say its mid afternoon)
(3) Grabbing a nearby umbrella,
Clair sneaks to the grocery store. (5-2) One of the zombies turns towards her, but other wise Clair makes it undetected to the grocery store.
Jason dials the head of the police of the riot squad. (5) “Hey Jason, its Luis Hernandez. What’s up?”
“It’s really good to hear from you Luis, can you gather up as many officers and equipment as possible and join me at an office building at 23 Market Plaza?”
“(6) I’ll see what I can do, Jason, but the team has been scattered by the outbreak and I'm holed up at the station. I’ll do my best, but I’m not getting killed looking for police officers. I need to get to my wife and kids at home and see if they are safe, but I’ll come tomorrow. Got it?”
“Yeah sure, thanks” Jason says as he hangs up. Then he searches the bodies of the cultists. (2,2) None of them have knives or phones that he can use. Having done that, Jason takes Clair up to a window to practice shooting zombies. (1-1) She drops the pistol you give her into the street. You hand her another one, and she (1-1) drops it into the street as well.
Sighing, you grab your police radio, (2) only to find that the battery is dead. You need to find some AA batteries to replace it.
Moe, Robert, and Haruki continue upward. Like the floors below it, the 4th floor turns out to be another regular office building. (2,5) In one cubicle, the group hears a phone ringing.
Dr. Chomsky grabs the machine gun and a powerful pistol before looking at the other weapons. He doesn’t see any silencers, because Jason grabbed them all, but he sees an M-16 with a scope on it.
Jane introduces herself and the group before asking the two men to help her check the perimeter. The minister and the dermatologist both smile and reply, “Sure we’ll follow you.”

Name: Jane Andrews
Gender: Female
Age: 46
Previous occupation: Restaurant Manager
Backstory: Having grown up as an abused child who was never popular in school, Jane's clever and careful and has mostly forgiven humanity for the torment done to her when she was helpless. She did graduate from high school and is quite intelligent; she might have gotten far in college but she wanted to work instead and was promoted well in various careers for being well spoken and dedicated. She started studying martial arts while still in high school, and in a sense she's still not grown up - she matured extremely early and started behaving with the restraint needed to survive the abuse she faced by the time she was four, but in many ways parts of her are still a child and could always be. She grew up with horror and has seen some of the absolute worst that human beings can do to each other; self control and control of her immediate environment is absolutely essential to her. So long as she can control herself, all actually is right in her world, no matter what monsters confront her or what form they appear as.
Religion: Animist (personal form)

He didn't really enjoy it much so after his two year contract was over he left. He went to live with his parents while trying to get into college... and that's when the zombie Apocalypse happened.
