Turn 11:Grabbing an assault rifle from the stockpile,
Jason heads back upstairs and shows Clair how to use it in theory, guiding her through using it. (1+1) She gets confused and asks for clarification on various kinds of fire and what is the stock of the weapon. Jason searches for batteries and (3) finds a
9-volt battery inside a small timer.
Grabbing the M-16,
Dr. Chomsky heads up to the roof of the building. (5) He finds it deserted. Around him, he sees empty buildings, smoke, and the occasional zombie. It’s a desolate place, with very few sounds except distant moaning, and (?) helicopter blades. Dr. Chomsky stares as he sees three military helicopters flying low over the rooftops about 3 blocks away. (?) As they fly by, a rocket takes out the rear of one and it is sent spiraling out of Dr. Chomsky’s sight. The other tow start rising as mounted machine guns open fire on the unseen street below. It seems that the city isn’t as empty as it looks.
(5) Rounding a corner and entering a cubicle,
Robert finds the phone that was ringing. It is on the desk by a worker with a bullet hole in his back. Robert picks up the phone and answers it. Moe follows him.
“Hello?”
(3) “James! This is Dalmia. The things are everywhere. The kids are getting really nervous. One of them tried to break into our house. Why haven’t you answering my calls?”
“I am sorry, but I’m not James. I heard this cell phone ringing in the office building I’m holed up in and answered it.”
“Oh, then can you help me? Is my husband still alive?”
Robert looks at the dead worker. (1) His name tag reads James Owen.
“If his last name is Owen then he isn’t alive.”
There is the sound of crying on the other end.
Jane thanks the two men and then begins touring the first floor. As she patrols she pays attention to the two men following her. (?) They both look and appear to be what they said they are, She continues checking rooms for people or zombies. (2) However, she can find none. Finally she starts checking the entrances. Besides the front entrance, which looks like a large amount of zombies pressing against could break through, there is a small loading entrance in the cafeteria kitchen. (4) It is padlocked shut and it doesn’t look like it would be noticed. Heading back to the front entrance. Jane looks for stuff to put in front of it. (2) However, she sees Clair Jade walking into the grocery store and decides to wait as she will likely be back.
Clair examines the store. It (3) appears to have been looted but most of the items are still there. (6) The store is also packed with zombies, (5-3) but the sheer number of zombies means that Clair is undetected.
Looking around,
Haruki finds (2,2) the Joshua Tree album in another room and pockets it.
John heads to the fifth floor and (?) finds three zombies moving towards a girl in her 30s. (5-1) opening fire with his Bushmaster, he shoots one zombie in the chest, redirecting its attention.

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.
