A Distant Ally In Need

Reports have reached me on the old spotlight radio phone from a former reporter in the outside world. This reliable source informs me that the struggles in Malton to contain the epidemic may all have been in vain.

Sketchy reports suggest that the dead are returning to life many miles away in the previously little known city of Monroeville.

Reports began filtering out to the surrounding areas on the day of the 25th, and various news agencies know very little about the town. The centre of this new nightmare is much like Malton, but fields and forests around its perimeter suggest this outbreak will be harder to police.

Necrotech Response

Also the fact that Necrotechs entire revivification effort is directed around Malton suggests that all deaths in the area will remain permanent.

A spokesman for the company, standing atop the Dinovan Monument in Vinetown read the following statement.

“The sheer size of the logistical operation makes any intervention by us, too little, too late. By the time fully qualified technicians could reach the scene no valuable scientific information of any value would be gained.”

He also added reassuringly “We are of course staying the course in Malton, doing whatever we can for the people of this city who have shown us such support.”

Before further questions could be raised the haggard man headed north and was apparently airlifted from the city.

Zombies

Zombie experts in America are trying to pass on all information to survivors before it is too late, with scenes of people sleeping in the streets falling foul of the recently reanimated. The mistakes of Malton are too easily repeated.

Already zombies appear to be hording. In the west of Monroeville the group Monroeville Many are gaining support, and are apparently clubbing together to attack the Iconic Monroeville Mall, an area no doubt to be highly contested. Panicked reports from the south suggest embryonic signs of a mini big bash.

Spreading the Love

Survivors in our fair city are already preparing gift packages for their newest allies, who are apparently very short on wire cutters and DNA scanners.

A focus group of lead survivors predicted an outlook for the next few days of Gore, reaching its highest point in three days, the average time it takes zombies to learn how to open doors.
