The following text is a transcription of radio intercepts from the Malton quarantine forces. The signal appears to have been a recording, as it repeated twice and was cut off during the third cycle, perhaps delayed in order to give the broadcaster time to clear the area before the transmitter activated. It was encoded using standard Royal Army scout signaling protocols.

There are new marching orders. Every now and again, some small units comprised of mixed personnel appear to be moving out beyond the few secured areas on out-and-back missions. I've followed several, and each of them has gone directly to a local graveyard. I've taken to calling them the Graveyard Detail. In addition to a few police and MMRU personnel who seem to always be tapped, there are several Sanitation types who seem to always be along as well. There's some corporate boffins who look like they're overseeing the whole thing. A couple of locals I've spoken to claim that there are murder squads going out along with these crews, but I haven't seen any myself. Wouldn't put it past these berks, though - some of them look damned suspicious.

The Corporate types seem to be safeguarding cases of strange syringes, single use types, that they come back without. I haven't managed to observe what they're up to inside a graveyard, but they come back with racks of vials, stranges ones which lock closed and are colored bright yellow. Industrial yellow, biohazard. These vials get packed up and shipped out somewhere, not sure where or how, or even if they're leaving the city or just going to a central location. Can't follow them into the secured areas, troops don't recognize my ID and have shot at me twice.

The only information I have regarding the corporate personnel is a bit of conversation between two of them I overheard while they were exiting their vehicle as I was concealed nearby. Two of the boffins were discussing tissue regeneration with a military medic who was wearing Unit SPARROWHAWK insignia.
