THE SIDHE CHRONICLES

April 2011

SHACKLEVILLE - Finally reached Shackleville's outer edges again. Can't say it was a pleasant time in Kempsterbank. It's gotten crowded with survivors here again though. Safety in numbers but also less supplies and more likely to draw zed attention. Gonna spend another day or two, stock up on ammo now that I'm restocked on FAK after a pause at St. Mateos' on the edge of Kempsterbank and Shackleville.

Perhaps I should try some target practice on the Shackleville / Village border. After that freakish zed and his skin, I think I need to get more familiar with the gun. It's not exactly military standard issue.. nor did I actually finish full fledged gun training before the agent blew our cover.. -- Fae Sidhe 05:35, 9 April 2011 (BST)

KEMPSTERBANK - I think I was tracked by the same zed I unloaded on yesterday. These things are supposed to be stupid, but I guess that's a lie with organized units spreading. Thankfully, just made it with some scrapes. An axe to the head by another survivor finished the job I did on it yesterday.

I'm not extremely religious, but I read this zed fiction book before all this shit went down about smart zeds that were actually demons inhabiting the bodies of the dead in the first stage of the apocalypse. Maybe they're demons. Wouldn't that be funny if this was truly the path to judgment?... I'm starting to sound like a death cultist. I need to get the hell out of Kempsterbank. --- Fae Sidhe 15:15, 8 April 2011 (BST)

KEMPSTERBANK - Made the mistake of pausing for a rest and FAK resupply so close to St. Ferrerol in Titus. The barricades came down, and the zed came in. Blew my rest of my ammo, but not before infection set in for three of us from bites. Managed to clear all three of us of infection, but there's nothing else that could be done -- whatever was on that Zed's skin, and I'm guessing the bloated flesh -- made fighting with anything except a gun worthless.

Need to get the hell out of Kempsterbank. --- Fae Sidhe 21:00, 7 April 2011 (BST)

KEMPSTERBANK - Traveled down south into Kempsterbank to check out the last call from a few days ago. That and, I hate to say this, when a zed force moves through, they have no use for supplies. More than anything, I just wanted to check for survivors.

Wish I hadn't. For supposedly being extremely friendly for survivors, that's no longer the case. It's quite the opposite of Shackleville. St. Ferrerol hospital was in ruins. I stopped by to bandage up a few infected in southern portion.. The puss was spreading fast, but I managed. One was beyond saving, but I couldn't take his life. Just couldn't do it. Even as a zed, he has a chance of revivification. Course, that's assuming he would want to come back...

Going back to Shackleville. Despite a large number of hospitals, most are down here. They need all the supplies they can get. --- Fae Sidhe 14:55, 7 April 2011 (BST)

SHACKLEVILLE - Woke up with a start and a pain in the calf. I checked myself over to see if I was bit -- just as a precaution. Maybe I didn't realize it in the adrenaline the last day or two. Nothing. Turned out to be a muscle cramp. I think they call them charlie horses or something. Another night successfully survived... for what that's worth.

Lots of chatter over the radio to the south. From what I can tell, a survivor base fell in the next suburb down. It's very quiet here. I've managed to restock pretty nicely. I found two fuel cans even and, because I appreciate the constant human presence, I filled up a few generators to keep the lights on and the radio transmitter running.

I can't stay here forever though. I might head south to scout the issue. I think there's a mall there. Maybe I'll find a pair of heels for kicks. Be a nice change with warmer weather approaching if impractical.. but this suburb, at least for the moment, has been pretty safe. I'd estimate maybe 50 different people occupying the heart. Nice to see living faces after what happened in The Village even if, at least for the moment, I keep my distance. I still find it difficult to penetrate cliques.. and, quite frankly, I fear agents after the incident in The Village too.

I have not seen any more sign of the MES... I am beginning to wonder just how far away they actually are in their next base. --- Fae Sidhe 01:20, 6 April 2011 (BST)

SHACKLEVILLE - Saw the lights go out at Doig Fire Station. Thought maybe the generator went out --- there's not a lot of zeds in this area. It's why I chose to rebuild supplies and rest..

Instead, there's a zed standing over a dead body. He's wearing a flak, but I get off some shots.. finish him off with an axe. Don't know who his victim was but really sucks to be him. Put the bodies outside. I don't have the supplies to rebuild that building. --- Fae Sidhe 00:57, 5 April 2011 (BST)

SHACKLEVILLE - I located a portable radio earlier today on the 27.55 MHz. The juice left in it was pretty good, and it's helping to keep me informed. A police station in another suburb fell. I don't know where that was, but it wasn't here. Recommend retreat and regroup. I guess it's going pretty badly.

I did manage to take out a zed outside the revive points. Truth be told, all trained for human-to-human combat but never tested in a zed situation. I wasn't really meant to be used for that, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. I am not sure how I feel about it. That used to be someone's family. --- Fae Sidhe 22:02, 4 April 2011 (BST)

March 2011, Summary, Shackleville & Stanbury Village, Back Information

The first couple days at the new base Op were promising. However, the slaughter was bad. The encampment was surrounded. An agent blew our cover. Ever since they discovered a higher organizational pattern in the brain of some zeds, people have been kinda scared. Well, more scared. I mean, seriously. Dead people coming back to life. Even those of us with training to handle it... Well, shit, man. They didn't train us to handle this.

Somehow ended up in the Malton suburb of Shackleville. It was pretty quiet except for the occasionally groaning. Saw a flare up to the north and followed it, hoping to find someone alive and friendly.

I should have known better. Followed it right to a zed horde surrounding the Lorenzo Hospital just inside The Village. Was a nightmare siege, and I watched them ruin the building and listened to the screams of the defenders from the roof of the Kersley Mansion. Fuck.

Two survivor were with me, but I was uneasy. There was something odd about them, especially when one pulled a gun on me. Had a flashback of that mother fuckin' agent. Here I was, without a gun, and so I managed to just barely escape. Kid wasn't that good at building hopping, I guess. I guess it pays to be a forward scout sometimes -- you learn how to move.

Two agents in two weeks, and still recovering from that first fuck over. Low on FAKs, and I wasn't going to get any thing from Lorenzo.

Catherine Hospital faired little better at first look. A local group, Rotter's Relief, moved into Mosley, and that helped keep it mostly in survivor hands though the swarm grew bigger and bigger every day outside both resources. I can't tell if Rotter's Relief is a bunch of zed sympathizers with some agents mixed in or just legitimately caring about bringing people back to life and respecting people who wish to remain dead. Either way, some zeds don't respect what they're doing judging by the swarm growing outside looking for dinner.

Catherine fell first. That, too, was just a replay of Lorenzo Hospital. Fuck, man. Mosley fell next as did the base op for Rotter's Relief at the moment. Still not sure about them.

Got fucked up at Catherine's fight. I got out of there alive though -- which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for some others. Ran into a guy from the Malton Emergency Services (MES). That group definitely warrants more investigation, especially the firefighters... but there is no fire station in The Village.

After watching Catherine over run and Mosley's lights go out, I headed back south and into Shackleville. Maybe I'd have better luck there for supplies and finding a member of MES's Firefighters. Fae Sidhe 19:45, 2 April 2011 (BST)
