(Smith guides the now group of three down the long hallways of the facility gun at the ready. After a few minutes smith opens a door leading to the facilities sceince labs section in steps through the door first to make sure it is safe then gestures for the others to follow as he says)

Smith - okay... this area of the facility should be safe at least for awhile so we'll rest here for now...

(Smith takes the hand of the still very weak Ashcroft and guides him over to a near by lab table to rest while Susan runs over to a near by computer terminal and begins recording)

Black Moon 4 - Things have just gotten worse here it appears the shadowy figure was right because this morning the virus has offiacilly infected every last person here with the acception of Dr. Smith, the young man i found not too long ago who we now know as Ashcroft and me and it appears that the virus is now not only killing those it infects but it is bringing them back again as violent blood thirsty monsters... plus the storm is still raging outside the facility with no signes of stopping... (while Susan continues to record at the near by terminal Smith begins to chat with Ashcroft telling him about the expedition that brought himself and Susan to the island in the fist place and the starnge things they had discovered since they got there and then he begins to discuss the voices and when he gets to the part about the kiss he stops and looks deep into Ashcrofts eyes entranced by thier beauty as he continues to speak in warm and gentle voice saying)

Smith - you know when you were unconciouse... I would stare at you... watch you, you looked so beautiful and peaceful but I did not notice it until the voices they... they told me to... to kiss you...

Ashcroft - it was you I felt... it was your lips on mine... I had never felt such lips... thank you... Smith...
