Will you shut up about the ants!?

Hey, I didn't say anything about spitting into nests. Just mentioning them as a tactical resource.

[Tomcost]

We already used ants as a weapon before:

It is nice, but not worthwhile.

Can we just forego the carnage and become a zombie conductor?

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Maybe we should bring in the whole horde. Ferry them in one train-load at a time. And then besiege the city. Cut off power, travel in or out, and water lines if we can. Shortages should start popping up in a matter of 2-3 days, panic will almost certainly set in before then. People will try to run, and they'll run right into our horde. Once the city is in shambles, we can move in and start infecting everyone.

[Graknorke]

Because nothing bad will happen in 3 days right? Not like we have a well-trained militia out for us or anything.

We arent gonna use them as weapons. We are gonna use them to infect the ecosystem. I mean, maybe birds wont eat them, but other animals will. Other animals will feed off those other animals. Humans will feed off those animals that feed off those animals that feed off ants. Over time we will have broken the ecosystem and the infection will start spreading like molten butter over bread.

That's nice and all for a few years time. But right now we need to fight the humans.

Undead ecosystem: no food. Stop the ants thing

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

What are we trying to accomplish? I mean, do we just want to watch the world burn? Or are we trying to unite all of humanity under our rule? Or are we going to replace humanity with zombies as the world's dominate species? Or what?

I thought we were more option 1, just out for as much destruction as possible (and revenge, of course). It seems to match our character. But people keep talking about renewable human populations and preserving ecosystems, which makes me wonder... I mean, honestly, what kind of zombie is bothered by his possible ecological impact on the surrounding ecosystems?

[Graknorke]

I'm all for uniting humanity under our rule. By improving humanity into an incredibly durable hivemind.

[weenog]

Unite humanity, or whatever we warp it into, under our rule.

And no damned ants, that's stupid.

[wer6]

Unite humanity, or whatever we warp it into, under our rule.

And no damned ants, that's stupid.

Agreed.

So Zero finally started his attack on the town, first setting up some zeds at the routes out of the city, then getting some actors groups and putting them about while he prepares to play the mad bomber.
Of course, almost as soon as we wanna start, we hit a snag.
It sure was fun, though.
Pinkamena managed to get us out of the ambush, but I'm not sure about Zero. To be honest, I'm terrified for him. He said he was going to attack a mall, but now that the cat's out of the bag and the military is shooting at us.
We probably should have figured that they'd be ready for us, seeing how we didn't exactly go subtle last time.

I'm still running towards the mall. But I must be getting close, many panicking people. I enter the mall, going towards the sounds of shooting.
And there he is, throwing bombs and shooting people with a certain amount of bullets in him. The people he's fighting haven't noticed me yet, so...
My turn, my turn! MY TIME! MY DESTINY!
By the time I get control again, Pinkamena seems to have successfully killed every soldier, though my shirt is damaged. Zero is rushing towards me, though with a small limp, looking concerned. He's such a sweetheart in a sort of mass-murderer sort of way.
Diane, are you alright!? That knife did not look like it tickled.
I blinked in confusion, then took a closer look at my shirt, which is almost ripped in half. It's a lot more red then it usually is...
And the pain sets in. I clutch the wound and groan, but I manage to stay strong. I rip my shirt off entirely, leaving me in nothing but my bra. It'll just have to do...

I bind my wound with my shirt, while Zero fires off two more rounds from his hand-cannon. The wound still hurts like hell, but it's probably not too bad. My guts haven't popped out, is what I mean.
Zero calls to all the zombies and is starting a push. We won't be able to go fighting, so Zero will have to pick up the slack a bit. Fortunately, most of the military and the police seems preoccupied with the zombies. We run through the carnage, with corpses, moving corpses, the occasional wounded guy....
Zero throws a pot of ants (seriously, where does he keep that stuff?) to clean up the corpses and survivers, you assume.
When We got outside, and the warmth of a fire met our faces, the wound suddenly feels a lot worse while the head seems to be getting lighter...
When I wake up again, I see Zero is carrying me on his broad shoulders. I hang on tight while he runs. Then I black out again.

When I wake up again, Is see TW is currently looking rather panicked.
There's not enough blood in her! Unless you get her the fucking worm, she's going to die!
But she didn't want to! Can't we just do a transfusion!?
If you had a healthy human here with the right bloodtype who doesn't mind giving more then HALF HIS BLOOD THEN YES, ZERO!
I didn't want to get the worm because I might end up dying. Might be better then death though.
It's getting hard to breathe, and I can't see... I'm scared. I'm so scared...I'm scared, Mommy....Please. help..

Diane has been mortally wounded.
The next update will give a conclusion.

[FritzPL]

Fuck me.

I started reading this three days ago, today I didn't even notice how fast I went thru all those pages, and the first time I get to post is after this.
Love the last two lines, though. Makes me want to make an audiobook out of all this.

[kj1225]

So, do we give her the worm?
