    The Hivemind is a group of axe-wielding (or '-awkwardly-flailing') miscreants originating from a shadowy network outside of the confines of Malton.

    History

    Founded in mid-May 2006, the Hivemind is a group of struggling survivors, desperately hunting for a relatively safe corner of Malton in which to hole up. It consists entirely of untrained, ill-equipped and extremely nervous stragglers. The members of the Hivemind are trying to keep each other alive, but their efforts to do this are thwarted by a complete lack of any useful skills. Thus far, assistance has tended to consist mostly of yells of "run faster, they're gaining on you" from the inside of heavily barricaded buildings.

    Latest news

    Update for 17 May: Following an apparent zombie invasion of the NecroTech building next door to the previous safe-house, there was a frantic overnight retreat to a new safe-house. Northernlights, alicedee, Cynric, Dirk Kennelworth, Rikkitikkitavi, plesty and Echohawk have all made it safely to the new location. It is thought that one or two members of the group may have been left behind in the confusion of the sudden retreat; they will be missed. (Especially by those who haven't yet taken hand-to-hand combat...) As at 07:00 GMT, Nibbles McRiot and Daxstein were planning their final trek across town to finally reach the safe house. We wish them good luck and a safe journey.

    As of 16 May, nothing had yet been heard from WonderMonkey and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, greenwitch has been located in a cemetary in Brooksville where she is holing up with dozy, awaiting revivication. plesty has located the safe house but, unable to get in, was brutally slain whilst banging woefully on the door, begging for entry.

    Field commissions were requested for Nibbles McRiot and stevestander, however the commission was declined by the latter. Pending Major Domo approval, Sergeant McRiot will assume command of the Night Watchman timetable and the medical roster. Volunteers are sought to assist with the rotation of watchman and collection of medical supplies. A field co-ordinator is also needed from the Necrotech people.

    As of the morning of 15 May, 2006, plans to assemble at the safehouse are beginning to fall into place. Cynric and Dirk Kennelworth have joined Echohawk; Klept, unknownsoldier and Spacesbetween are also nearby, albeit in body rather than spirit. Slightly further away, but still lumbering in an orderly manner are dozy and pegpocket. We wish them all the best for a rapid revivification.

    On the eastern side of the city, news is not so positive, with GDrake and bretton coming under serious zombie attack during the night. GDrake has had to abandon his zombified companion and execute plan B (which basically boils down to "run like hell"). Not far away from this tragedy, Andre Daub has had his head blown away for the third successive time. There are concerns amongst the rest of the group that he is growing accustomed to life in his headless zombie state, and may be reluctant to return to the living. Advice to "head west at the first opportunity" was received with loud groans by zombies and humans alike.

    Nibbles McRiot has reported in (finally alive) and has developed a strategy for reaching the rest of the group, and Jaelaz -- who unfortunately fell victim to the zombies while on a scouting mission near the safehouse, has also been revivified. Daxstein has now joined Nibbles, and the pair of them rest and plot their upcoming trek.

    In the northeastern quadrant of Malton, both MassiveBoots and nxsy have remained as yet entirely untouched by the undead. Nxsy is proving a valuable asset to both the group and his employer through his ongoing quest to sample as much zombie DNA as possible while he moves towards the safehouse. By the time he gets here, we hope he has gathered a large collection of syringes.
