I had a nice fort going that got up to about 210 dwarves...

Then a zombie got in.  Just one, and I didn't see it right away.

It killed a dwarf.   This dwarf then came back.  Then they managed to kill about 12 more dwarves.   By this time I realized I had a problem but my military was busy dealing with the ~150 giant mosquitoes on the surface.

It got worse.

These dwarves then got into one of the bedroom hallways and shortly after there were 30 or so of them.

And then they charged into the dining hall, with 138 idle dwarves and 160 more cats as well as 50 war dogs.  The dwarves couldn't do the normal hauling jobs due to the aforementioned giant mosquitoes.

It was carnage.

Glorious, glorious carnage.  There are no words in the english language to describe it.  Dwarves and zombies dieing and near- instantly reanimating, animals and parts zombifiying as well.

Every tile in the room was listed as "pool of blood".  There were about 400 more units on the map afterwards from reanimated parts.   My military got slaughtered when they tried to clean it up.

Even if the fort had been salvagable (it wasn't) my framerate was not.

Your fortress has crumbled to its end.

That made me think of dead space.

I've decided to say "fuck it" and will just implode my fort.

Look at all of your dwarves' histories.  The one who has a huge number of "used to be a member of..  x" or "former member of... x" is the vampire.

More implosions are necessary.
And magma.

your right. I thought an implosion that flew thousands of pounds of stone would work. next time i'll make sure the implosion will drop the fort into the magma sea.

Dropping a fort into the planetary core to kill a single undead abomination.....

Vamps don't eat, sleep or...  well, they drink blood, but that's it.

Cursed? No. Armok is challenging you to get rid of that thing.

If anything kill it for the satisfaction of knowing that it can't show up to a future fort.

Well I could designate the mining profession and have the vamp dig into a lava pit.
