-Field Report 02-
We managed to recapture several subjects today with the assistance of the agency's teams and local law enforcement. One of the agents were bitten during the event and had to be sent off to the labs for experimentation. Poor soul. There are still two subjects on the loose but judging by the distance the other zeds reached in a few days, I think it's safe to say that the remaining subjects will be apprehended very soon, since they couldn't have gone far.
Agent Balard is still hosting is investigation and has offered to pay personnel out of pocket to check security footage of the zeds and report their findings to him so he can focus on capturing the zeds. I was going to sign up for it but another staff member with more seniority managed to snag it first. Tough luck I guess. There's a rumor going around that the disaster was planned by a double agent. A sort of inside job. I would pay no attention to these rumors but it all seems to… perfect.
I don't know. The first one that comes to mind as a possible suspect would be that Rodney guy. He's the second in command of security but he's not... all there. I know Soldats are a new thing but I don't think they're supposed to be as buggy as him. He's been organizing all the id numbers of the our personnel, complete with names and addresses, for no real reason. He has placed all this information on a compact dick down in his cubicle. I got a look at it when he was called down for a meeting. Almost every agent in the building is on there.

I think you might have missed a memo but just in case word travels slow, the mission to exterminate the zeds has been successful. All subjects have been terminated and a cover up is taking place. Who knew they would be so… efficient with these sorts of situations. We're just having to file a few more reports, organize some papers, erase a few loose ends, but we'll get it all done by Thursday afternoon.
Well, three reports doesn't seem like much, but taking out the time to think of the proper wording is work enough for me. Protocol should come to an end tonight. See you guys to a game of cards!

Uhh… the situation isn't over like I said it would be. There were several attacks on the East side of the city meaning that those attacks will probably appear around the rest of the city over the next few days. A radio broadcast has started to air here informing people to stay indoors. It reads as follows:
"All civilians are advised to stay put and lock all their doors and windows. Teams are being dispatched to rescue any survivors left uninfected in city. Agents will be on the scene as soon as possible. While teams are heading into the city, be aware that your local law enforcement and agents are organizing to deal with the undead threat. Please remain indoors and out of their way."
Many staff are concerned that this message might actually encourage civies to take up arms and retake their city, but command insists that they won't. They're to scared they say. I heard my team will be dispatched to the east side of the city to evacuate people from their houses and terminate the undead threat. If it's true, I hope we don't go out alone. I'd really like to get some help from the swat team.

The situation has gotten significantly worse. In addition to the East side of town succumbing to the virus, the South side and parts of the downtown area have also been stricken with the virus. Additional personnel have been air dropped into the city to assist us in suppressing the outbreak. Orders are to kill all zeds and infected on sight. The science branch has been busy at work since this whole thing started, experimenting of the infected. What's wrong with them, don't they know there is nothing that can stop it?
Agent Balard has also gone missing. To tell the truth, I never trusted that guy to begin with. He probably left the city while he could, bastard. These reports aren't doing anything to help us and neither are most of the staff. They just want to leave it all up to the cops. Fortunately for them, the police set up a checkpoint yesterday in our wing of the city. Good thing too, provisions are running low. They should be able to hold the dead at bay while we prepare to leave.
On another note, Agent Rodney added the final info of the remaining staff on his CD today. I expect him to pick it up before he leaves the city. I'd like to get my hands on it myself and destroy it, things like that disk can put our operations in danger. The Soldat also said that he and Dr. Eric have plans on escaping. The guy's been apparently building a safe house down the street, stockpiling guns and ammo and stuff, to hold off until he can leave. He claims that he can use the supplies to arm the remaining civies in the area to fight off the dead until he can get a chopper to touch down in the streets and get himself out of here. I still don't trust him, and neither, Jack.

The police have been over run. They were able to hold for three days before breaking the line and scattering into the city. Now the zeds have begun to pour into our section of town. It's still relatively safe here, but we're losing ground fast. With Agent Todd missing, the ground forces are in disarray. Those damn cops didn't have proper training for this, we did. But that doesn't matter if we have no unity in our ranks. Unity is our strength. I've managed to kill about twelve zombies myself with my M4 and assistance from my team. So far, the team's only lost two out of twelve men; Agents Brian and Shawn, rest their souls.
I saw a number of civies attempt to escape the city this afternoon. They didn't have much luck though. They were quickly cornered by a group of Zeds in an alley way. Even if they did make it out of the city, it'd be pointless. There's a huge pile of debris at the end of the highway, along with tons of road spikes and other obstacles, probably placed there by our agency. Not to mention the army of agents that have gathered around the city to keep everyone in. No one's getting out of here unless it's by air, or until we've solved our dilemma of the living dead.
Sanderson was shocked at what he had read. Rodney a possible traitor? The Soldat wouldn't dare if he valued his safety. This would surely need thorough investigation regardless of what Sanderson though. Who knew what would happen if it was true. And what was Ballard's involvement? Who killed him? Was it the same agent that killed the others in the building?
"Stunder," Sanderson said to the scientist. "Is there anything you need to pick up in here before we leave?" Sanderson turned his back on the scientist who was already busy searching though one of the boxes that he pulled off the shelf.
"There's only a few files on my research that I have to get. It'll only take a minute." The Agent nodded and started walking to the door, pulling out his radio as he made his steps.
"Rodney, where are you?" He said into the tiny box as he pressed the side button, then let go.
"Waiting for your ass." Came the reply. "What do you think?" Sanderson didn't expect such sass so he fired back an order.
"Don't get technical with me. Have you found the exit yet?" There was a short delay in an answer, but it still came quick.
"Yeah… We found the exit." Sanderson sighed peacefully.
"Good. We're just getting some things together, we'll be right there, over."
Rodney looked down the long, dimly lit hallway, expecting any minute for zeds to come rushing through the light at him. But it didn't happen. He shook his head and looked over at the rest of the survivors standing at the other end of the hall near the exit doors. They were having their own separate conversations that would be of no interest to a soldat like him.
His eyes focused on Christopher. He was a photographer and a disciplined soldier. Chris was the kind of guy who would try everything he could to encourage morale, usually to no avail though.
The Soldat looked away once more and stared back down the dark hallway. He was leaning up against the wall at the time, while holding his bleeding side, which had dried by now, but still hurt. That's when he saw stick out quickly from a doorway before receding back into darkness. Rodney pushed himself off the wall and drew his degle from his pocket.
Getting a grip on his weapon with both hands, one on the handle and the other grasped over it, he slowly entered the hallway. The suspense would have the average ATP agent quaking in his shoes… But not the ATP agent. This Agent was the definition of brave in this sort of situation. The Agent was now standing at the edge of the doorway, leaning against the side.
He inhaled deeply, held it for a few second while listening for a sound. When he head it, he turned and slide into the doorway, pointing his firearm inside.
The room had a sheet of one way glass in one side and against the opposite side, a number of filing cabinets. Papers were sprawled out all over the floor. There was blood splatter on the inside of the one way mirror along with a bullet hole shot through it and dug into the wall in the room Rodney stared in.
But that was far from the most interesting thing in there. Standing in front of the soldat was a man in a black suit with a red lens, triple eyed goggle piece. He was holding two m1911's, one in each hand, and had them aimed at the soldat before him. He lowered them slowly as a smile with a sense of relief creeped onto his face.
"Boy am I glad to see you." The man said in a half asleep tone of voice. Rodney stared at him, his degale still locked on the target. He knew this man and this man knew him too. It was to much of a liability to let him stand for another minute.
"No, your not." Rodney responded, taking a quick shot at his target. The bullet from his gun rippled through the air and plunged itself into the chest of the enemy, who raised his guns up to aim at the soldat. He had no time to aim but did scream as he pulled the triggers of his guns, discharging their own rounds at the agent.
The roar of the weapons filled the hallway as two bits of metal headed straight for Rodney.
