Sightings

2008

11/30/08 - Reports from the Hollomstown area mention a lone zombie matching descriptions of a zombie often referred to as Bigger Daddy.

12/05/08 - An alleged Dead Air member slips into the Crump Museum in Gulsonside gives each survivor a juicy wet kiss and then smashes the generator.

09/05/08 - Awakening from a long stupor to find himself revivified in Roftwood, SporeSore slips into MalTel HQ in the The Summer Building and restores sweet silence.

3/26/08 - Alleged recent Dead Air member Captain Colby preemptively destroyed the tower at St. Maxiliam's Church in Gatcombeton before Randizzle02 of the hated Malton Telephone could make good on his spraypainted promise to restore it. The accursed blinkies were kept at bay for another night.

3/14/08 - Some Malton Telephone gal by the name of Ramona decided that the Judgewood tower might be a good one to fix up. As it turned out, alleged Dead Air member Permazombie thought otherwise.

2/21/08 - It took awhile, but alleged member Permazombie finally cleaned up the mess at the Judgewood tower left behind by a party thrown by The Grove.

2007

11/07/07 - In the survivor infested suburb of Dulston a lone alleged Dead Air "member" defies all odds. In one day he singlehandedly destroys the EHB cades, bursts groaning into Parrott Towers and with his last gasp smashes the generator. A puff of spores eject from his rotten eye sockets as he stands exhausted waiting for his reward.

11/5/07 - New Dead Air Member ZkZkZkZkZkZukZkth succeeding in tearing down the barricades of the Crang Building, Tapton, in order to silence to mostly neglected Generator and radio. The red dot sleeps, and so does ZkZkZkZkZkZukZkth

11/04/07 - An alleged Dead Air member knocked on the door to Parrott Towers in Dulston for so long it was forgotten how long, but the residents would not let him in, even for Halloween. Today the barricaded were low enough thanks to another alleged member and a group of random passing zombies. A triumphant roar was heard shortly before darkness enveloped the block and silence covered the sky.

11/04/07 - Heavy silence returns, albeit temporarily, to Tollyton as an alleged Dead Air member uses his second last waking breath to smash the the Sherren Building's generator. With his last breath he groans threateningly and passes out. Most certainly he will be rewarded with a headshot for his efforts, by the time he next awakens.

10/31/07 - An alleged dead air member awoke stupidly in the thick fog, eyes agog at the terrible blinkie atop Hitchens Towers in Wyke Hills. Had that evil red eye not been dimmed before he slumbered? He thumped on the door. Silence. A second thump and the door creaked open. He shambled in to discover six survivors passed out in various corners of the lobby, half of whom smelled very, very fresh. "Grahg'rh Grab!", he exclaimed from his oily lips. Silence. "GRAHG 'RH GRAB!!", he exploded. Silence. In frustration of not receiving his Hallowe'en treat he took matters into his own mouldy hands. Shuffling over to the rusty generator, he dropped his trousers and shat into the fuel tank. He then proceeded around the lobby, trousers dragging loosly about his ankles, and gave each survivor a gentle lick and nibble. He groaned in satisfaction, and wandered back outside into the fog, a faint humming under his putrid breath.

09/29/07 - Suspected Dead Air member Ooommth was found wandering aimlessly, a pillowcase pulled over his head by some witty survivor. After the obstruction's removal by a low-hanging tree branch, Ooommth realized all the blinkies weren't gone, and there was one of them now! Out of practice, he was rebuffed at first, but has settled in to lay tireless siege to Darvall Heights until that damn red light will stay out.

09/23/07 - An alleged member of Dead Air awoke from semi-retirement outside the Parr Building in New Arkham. Instantly annoyed by the blinkies, he began smashing at the barricades to get inside and silence them. Today, he was successful.

09/01/07 - A long, hot summer is concluding. Few, if any, organized, or even recognizable, Dead Air attacks have been reported during the slow months, except for a drawn out siege in the Northeast. One suspected Dead Air member is reported to have maintained an on-again, off-again siege of the Farbrother Building, Pescodside, which locals suggest finally fell on or around the first of the new month, somewhere around midnight.

05/30/07 - Mare Towers in Rolt Heights has been savagely and repeatedly ransacked by a zombie dressed in all black over the course of the last few days. They say this is the same zombie that was responsible for the outages in Santlerville only weeks earlier. Could be the work of Dead Air.

05/30/07 - The lightly attended Roddoway Building, Hollomstown, goes dark, continuing the tower attacks along the southern suburbs by suspected Dead Air members.

05/28/07 - Could the relentless, repeated attacks on their Buttonville warehouse headquarters by suspected Dead Air members have caused The Buttonville Boys to flee to safer havens? Interior graffiti suggests the warehouse has been claimed as property of the Malton Forensics Unit. A familiar dead face is spotted bringing the suburb's tower dark, the warehouse containing one MFU member, but no Buttonville Boys to be found.

05/25/07 - Either the tenants of the Waters Building, Spicer Hills, forgot to pay their electric bill, or they were visited by a suspected member of Dead Air.

05/20/07 - The Flambert Motel, Old Arkham, falls dark.

05/10/07 - An increase in population has virtually no effect on the safety of the Elson Building, Quarlesbank, as a slumbering zombie awakens to destroy its extremely heavy barricades, its generator, and its inhabitants' sense of security. He appears to be unconcerned for them.

05/10/07 - Foolish survivors in St. Romuald's Church (Raines Hills) leave the barricades too low, inviting an alleged Dead Air member to come inside, destroy their blinky-maker, and leave them all with infected bite wounds.

05/06/07 - An unusually furious zombie makes quick work of the extremely heavily barricaded Elson Building, Quarlesbank, destroying its generator as a horrified survivor looks on.

05/04/07 - The tower atop the Digby Building, East Boundwood, goes dark, a lone, infected survivor quietly bleeding in the darkness.

05/03/07 - Pashenton loses phone service as the generator in the Carew Museum is smashed to bits. The building came under attack, despite the fact that the tower is not visible on the roof.

05/02/07 - A persistant lone zombie finally manged to break through the barricades protecting Parrott Towers in Dulston and smash silent the radio mast generator some hours later. Despite this building being FOXHOUND HQ, there were no members of that group present. Perhaps they were elsewhere dealing with the Dulston Destruction Tour? Was Dead Air alone responisible for this attack as alleged, or is it part of something much bigger?

04/29/07 - An alleged Dead Air member strode past unaware and complacent guards to stop the blinkies in Roftwood. An apparent trend is noticed between survivors as the same shambling zombie has disturbed the peace in a series of seemingly "safe" suburbs.

04/28/07 - The same alleged Dead Air member is sighted for the third time this week (five times in two weeks) breaking down barricades and breaking up a generator in Northeast Malton, this time at Mare Towers in Rolt Heights.

04/25/07 - An alleged Dead Air member saunters through the open doors of the Halliday Building in Dunningwood and breaks the blinky maker. All five survivors are left infected while one is drug screaming into the street.

04/23/07 - A crazed alleged member of Dead Air enters Yeatman Library in Gibsonton, smashing the generator beyond repair. Five survivors are left infected as the zombie calls out to his fellows, before leaving for his next target.

04/17/07 - Heckworthy Towers in Santlerville goes dark as an alleged Dead Air member saunters in a brutally destroys the generator. 04/19 ... and again.

04/17/07 - Vinetown survivors were startled out of their complacency and false sense of security when a suspected Dead Air member tore through the loosely barricaded building to destroy the megerly guarded mast contained therein.

04/17/07 - Though eyeless DarkKittie none the less still 'sees' the blinking lights of towers but in Roftwood the Summer Building's light has been silenced; the survivors terrified and infected were left behind a closed door and she moved on.

4/16/07 - A lone wandering zombie lurches up to the the Anstruther Building, Rhodenbank, bringing down the barricades down and breaking the generator beyond repair as a handful of horrified survivors look on.

04/10/07 - An alleged Dead Air member breaks into the Amos Building in Huntley Heights, cutting the power to the blinkies and scaring the crap out of the lone survivor there.

04/09/07 - Both of Danversbank's mobile phone masts, housed in the Barrow Building and in the adjacent Poulet Museum, have ceased broadcasting their terrible noise to the living. Survivors are expected to recouperate quickly, but every moment of silence across the air waves unnerves them a little more. --FatherSalem 18:55, 9 April 2007 (BST)

04/02/07 - One of the generators powering one of Danversbank's TWO mobile phone masts, housed in the Barrow Building (the other housed in the adjacent Poulet Museum), falls silent beneath the clawed hands of a suspected Dead Air member. It's suggested that the two masts, located so close to each other, might begin to draw suspected Dead Air members at a higher than usual rate. Addendum: The Barrow Building mast was brought down once again by an alleged new member. Rudely interrupted from his post-mast infectious nibbling, he chased the intruding harman away, finished his snack, and quietly slipped away to clog a nearby revive queue. --SporeSore 20:09, 4 April 2007 (BST)

03/28/07 - The Self Hotel in Heytown undergoes a power outage thanks to an alleged Dead Air member.

03/25/07 - Jack Feynman, feral zombie extraordinaire, takes down the barricades on the Smither Building in Paynterton and begins to beat the shit out of the generator, denting it. The living guardians look on in horror. A little later is is battered. Oh yes. Jack Feynman 17:28, 25 March 2007 (BST) And then damaged. Jack Feynman 19:25, 25 March 2007 (BST) Badly damaged, but there are more humies in here AND they've rebuilt the barricades. Will I be able to destroy the generator before they can stop me... Jack Feynman 22:24, 25 March 2007 (BST) With a final groan, the zombie Jack Feynman bashes the generator into a million tiny pieces. The grid goes down... Jack Feynman 17:57, 26 March 2007 (BST)

03/21/07 - Coordinated attacks on the alleged Dead Air Tour result in the barricades coming down at the Bentley Hotel, Scarletwood. One attacker notices that the generator seems more resistant to damage than previous models. (Looks like gens have damage levels now akin to barridcades)

03/13/07 - the Braddick Building has fallen to the repeated abuses of a suspected Dead Air member, assisted by other zombies unknown. The dedicated guardians have been slain, infected, or run off entirely. The cold building now lies open to the weather and further zombie ransacking.

03/08/07 - In a first for suspected Dead Air members, the trio conducting a multi-day siege of the original Buttonville warehouse has remained to ransack and hold the building. It seems The Buttonville Boys underestimated the zombies' ability to comprehend written graffiti taunts, and as a result the zombies have become undead squatters, fending off attempts to retake the building by harmanz (or zombified harmanz' sympathizers).

03/07/07 - The barricades fell at Veazey Towers in Starlingtown allowing an alleged Dead Air member to enter and finally silence the deafening blinkies. Two survivors are left infected as the zombie calls out to his fellows.

03/03/07 - The forced entry and ransacking of the Buttonville warehouse continues for the third straight day.

03/03/07 - School is definitely out of session as an alleged Dead Air member breaks in to Howland Street School in Pitneybank and takes out the generator. Said zombie left the majority of survivors with infections and left after calling out to his brethren.

03/02/07 - For the second time in two days, the generator powering the Buttonville phone mast breaks beyond repair. Recently cured infections spread once again.

03/01/07 - Some survivors suggest The Buttonville Boys spend less time spraypainting taunts and more time defending their warehouse headquarters, as a trio of suspected Dead Air members converge on the Buttonville phone mast site and leave it darkened, its inhabitants infected and sore.

02/23/07 - Hitchens Towers, Wyke Hills, appears to have forgotten to pay its electric bill, its darkened tower invisible in the night sky.

02/22/07 - The Lapley Building in West Boundwood experiences technical difficulties.

02/18/07 - Doveton Towers in Osmondville finally gets what's coming to it after several days of seige from an alledged Dead Air member. One of two unhappy looking survivors inside now has an unpleasant infection.

02/17/07 - The Barrow Building, Danversbank, is left wide open so that a suspected Dead Air member walks in and chews through the generator cable. The suspected member leaves, its zombified hair on end.

02/15/07 - Lamport Hills- A suspected Dead Air member, Ooommth, has turned from a dead blinkie atop the Braddick Building, only to have it start up again yet again. Survivors report the same zombie keeping an eerie vigil on them, constantly trying to pierce the barricades once more.

02/12/07 - Lerwill Towers at the center of Greentown goes dark, and a resident survivor is dragged into the street - all the work of an alleged member of Dead Air.

02/10/07 - After many days of bashing at the cades at Stirling Towers and groaning for fellow zombies, an alleged Dead Air member finally cuts off service to Peppardville. 02/11 ... and again.

02/06/07 - An alleged member of Dead Air leads a small band of ferals in an assault upon the Donovan Building in Chudleyton. Out damn blinky spot!

02/06/07 - Alleged DA member SporeSore now joins other alleged members Risteard and permazombie to ensure The MacCarthy Building, Judgewood's mast is down permanently. Infected MFD personnel look on in horror, knowing that the RP and hospital are offline as well :)

02/05/07 - Mondays are particularly bad for the survivors of Dentonside, as Denner Towers goes dark.

02/04/07 - In the early morning of the 4th, the generator inside the Smither Building, Paynterton, breaks beyond repair.

02/02/07 - A dark wind blows southward as the Halliday Building, Dunningwood, loses its power to a suspected member of Dead Air.

01/30/07 - Risteard has joined up with permazombie to ensure Judgewood's mast is down permanently. With both Permazombie and Risteard now inside the MacCarthy building, it is firmly in Dead Air hands.

01/30/07 - In the heavily populated far northeastern reaches of Malton, Parrott Towers, Dulston, goes dark.

01/30/07 -- Some crazy humans managed to actually get a generator into The MacCarthy Building, Judgewood. Alas, alleged Dead Air members took care of that easily enough.

01/27/07 - The barricades of the Crang Building in Tapton are breached by a lone zombie. Temporarily confused by the dark blinkies strung up inside the building, it quickly proceeded with its mission of destroying the generator before it could be refuled. After a light snack on the lone survivor inside (dragging him into the street), the zombie ransacked the building and left for another target.

01/22/07 - Survivors in the surrounding suburbs note that the tower in the distance atop the Anstruther Building, Rhodenbank, goes dark.

01/22/07 Lamport Hills experienced a shocking breach of security when an alleged Dead Air member crashed through fortifications and smashed the generator within the Braddick Building. Reinforcements were summoned to deal with the intrusion, but the mast high atop the building is now dead and calm.

01/17/07 - Ridleybank is becoming more and more infested with survivors since the RRF has lost prominence in the area. Hence an alleged Dead Air member was required to silence phone service in the suburb.

01/15/07 - Alleged Dead Air member smashes through the barricades at the Summer Building in Roftwood. Phone service and blinkies silenced.

01/15/07 - After taking a brief vacation over at Caiger Mall, permazombie returns to The MacCarthy Building, Judgewood, to once again kill the blinking lights and noisy generators.

01/06/07 - A solitary zombie rings in the holiday season by holding protracted and ultimately successful sieges in both Quarlesbank and East Boundwood.
