(I decided to start talking in first person, it just feels more natural. And I'm introducing side characters, so we'll have our main character's and then we'll do these side character's as well. WE can separate them with a
---
And then the character name? just a thought. You can take this one's character side up if you want, or I can do it. I've also decided to set this as our main place, now we'll develop the story around it. Should make it more orderly and interesting. You know, a cool base we develop :D I didn't write that much, but I put a lot of thought in it! That should make it for me being slow right? :( )
"Hey, Slade, you alright?" Alice says from outside.
Something was wrong.
I could feel it, and my gut instincts have never been wrong before.
"Alice, get in here, something's off."
I glanced arund, feeling for what's put me off.
There it is, a sound. This time I could really hear it, something is here.
"AISS, activate Bouncer, send East."
"Activating now master."
Bouncer is the last of the robots I designed, and was created in order to restrict movement. This was in the event that a zombie slipped past, or something else ever headed towards them.
Boucer immediately headed towards the noise and grabbed the object hiding in the darkness-
"Ouch, what the fuck man."
A human. I facepalmed, this might be a problem.
"get this thing off me, man, this isn't right."
"I wouldn't be worrying about that, but rather your life. Hold him there Bouncer, until Alice gets in here."
I turn on my speaker,
"hey Alice, we've got a drifter."
A drifter is the term me and Alice came up for the wandering thieves. They're individuals who survived the original epidemic by living off the hard work of others. Some are violent and can kill, but most generally hit and run.
ignoring his cry's, I head back to my computer and set up a note to start cataloging zombies. I have a terrible memory, something Alice likes to poke at a lot.
I think about it, something was really off today.
It wasn't so much their intelligence, because they didn't get any faster in determining they have to find another entrance. Rather, it's as if they're being co-ordinated by someone else.
A human? I doubt it, but maybe a zombie that's evolved.
Zombies do have a tendency to stick to groups, so if there was a dominant zombie it is quite possible it could turn into a master and his herd.
I'm going ot have to find this zombie and get data on him, I'll have to make him priority 1B.
priority 1A will still be given to the security systems.
I haven't told Alice yet, but I'm thinking of making this our base. I've discovered not only a basement, but a safe room with escape passages. Whoever lived here must've been very paranoid.
On Alice's food trip, I'll get her to start searching the area to see if she can notice any odd zombie behaviour.
"Please man, help me out here."
