User:Lachryma
Backstory (Somebody cares. Somewhere.)After a rather disturbing tour of duty in Chechnya, this Russian medic spent all her cash to visit the lovely countryside near Malton. After a long flight, some visa hassles, and being mystified by why she came to Malton in the first place, she was in no mood for the federal agents slamming on her hotel room door. Anyway, to keep it short, Lachryma was drafted into the Army and air dropped at St. Matthew's Hospital in Gatcombeton. To aid her in her new mission of helping survivors, she was taught several phrases in English, including Ghetto Cow, and now she wanders around, healing random people and dreaming of the Motherland.
Series of InterviewsEarly Interview(Lachryma speaks in a heavy Russian accent. She seems nervous, glancing out of the safe-house often, and she obviously wants this interview to be over) You like my English? I learn quick, so is good, no? Please tell me about your first day in Malton. I get drafted in your army, sent to help your people. Meanwhile, in Motherland, my people die. So I angry, very. I dropped off at hospital with gun, medkit, and clothes on back. I no find place I can get in, so I go to auto shop, throw out bodies, and close doors. I think I safe. Ha! Then I sleep. And did you have a nice rest? I wake up, zombie at my neck [she unconsciously touches the scars on her throat] and blood everywhere. I run, think I am dying, but man in white coat gives me needle, and I live. If only we have such in Russia! What do you think of the quarantine of Malton? Is it worth it? In Russia, we crush undead with tanks, spray with machine gun fire, and blast with Katyusha rocket. There is no 'quarantine', no worry of civilians. They die for Motherland. You mention zombies in Russia. Did you encounter any before you came to Malton? Da. I in apartment in Moscow, packing for Malton. I hear scream, so I go, for I am medic, no? In next apartment, pale man attacking lady. I pull apart, man turns fast, almost bites...[she looks thoughtful for a moment, then continues] but I push man, falls hard. I have no idea what is wrong, think drugs, and I leave country soon, so I punch man in throat. You do right, knock out man. But he keeps biting! Woman stops screaming, finally, and with neighbors, we tie up man, call police. I scared, go straight to airport, and come to undead city. I was genius, no? How did you end up joining Ghetto Cow? I go north, after bad experience with zombie in auto shop. I find Dag00, college man who speak a little Russian. He teach me English, I help him. Is good deal. Tell me of your current activities. What I do now? Ah, I go from survivor place to survivor place looking for hurt warriors. I heal, move on, sleep at Ghetto Cow HQ. I no big, bad zombie killer, but I still have role, no? And what are your future plans? Dag and I talk, decide on new course for group. East Boundwood nice, so it doesn't need small group. People needed in hot spot of Ridleybank, so we go there, soon. Maybe fight in black building, maybe anywhere in suburb. Is big move, with big consequences, but we figure out. About time we make difference, maybe I go back to Motherland soon, no?
January 13th Interview(Lachryma is lounging on a desk in the Latrobe Building. She seems very relaxed, with only the occasional sharp glance given to the barricades) Tell me of your view of the Fourth Siege of Caiger Mall When I get to mall, around Christmas, I see giant horde outside one part of mall. They claw and groan there, is disturbing. But then it get worse, as whole horde suddenly comes to Latrobe. They still here, trying to get in, but they no can breach all at once. 3 zombies is easy to dispose of, and we is lucky that all 200 no come in at one time. What are your current tactics? I heal some, but lack of supplies is annoying. Instead, I finally get hands on miracle needles, and so I help those almost dead. Is good work, and I see much benefits. For old times sake, I still heal hurt ones sometimes. And how are you holding up in your biggest siege since the Blackmore Building fell? At Blackmore, living ones got less and less. Here, we go from 50, to 80, to almost 100 breathing ones. We is outnumbered, but we no can be kicked out. I hear that Ghetto Cow has made many allies recently. Is true. I spend time on radio, talking with people who think like us, and we get allies. Is tiring work at time, but is useful. Also, we get new members, who tire of fighting by themselves. Life is good. Any thoughts on the current situation in Malton? You mean lack of zombies, of heavy decrease of zombie numbers? Is sad, for when dead walk, we start living. We no lead easy lives with zombies outside, and I fear for zombie-free Malton. We can no afford to be soft like in old life, for that leads to huge infection again.
May 11th Interview(Lachryma is sitting at the base of a staircase in a bland-looking building in West Becktown. She seems strangely focused.} It's been some time since our last interview. You're a hard woman to track down. Da. I keep moving. There is always new places to see, experience. Change is lovely, no? So I keep up change. Where have you been recently? I spend large amount of time in Yagoton place. Is...interesting suburb. There was desperate struggles, grand sieges at Wantmore NT, and determined dead ones. But we outlast them, now place is peaceful. Boring. So I leave. Now I is trying to improve Molebank. But is far trickier, dead ones vicious in area. Is challenging. You are very close to Caiger Mall. Yes. Is lovely. [She smiles for the first time.] I find new Soviet flag. I keep it folded and safe, so I not lose it. Anyway, I go to mall occasionally, to get medkits. Also, I stop by Latrobe place. Is under siege, but is still boring. So I go with random people to bring life to Molebank. Death comes close, but we have lovely needles, no? So we take risks, have fun. Find rats too, in abandoned buildings. I hope to get second Soviet flag, so I can make purse out of to carry extra rats. What? I see no problem with this. Don't give weird look. How has leading Ghetto Cow been? Is usual. I is Czarina. They follow, I yell, and sometimes they whine. Then I get vicious, then they follow orders again. Is like leading little children, but less mess. Anything else you'd like to mention? Ah yes, I declare War On Sheep, please support. Is lovely.

Lachryma's Proudest MomentI in Blackmore, looking for hurt people, when I see Ron Burgundy is very injured, even though his hair still perfect. I quickly bandage him, and get autograph on medkit. I never met celebrity before, and I never heal one either. I no forget this moment. Lachryma's Second Proudest MomentOn February 13th, I add informative article to Mod Conspiracy page, is pure genius. I is proud to expose evil bourgeoisie of wiki to world, is good work. Motherland would think, "Is lovely".
