Longtime Dakkanaut

Dr.Buckley'a assistant slipped quietly out of the "hot lab" and made her way across the camp. It had been what seemed like days since she had last left, and hopefully nobody had noticed her missing.
She had to take the long way around the camp to make sure that if anyone did notice her they would never be able to figure out where she had come from. She didn't much like doing this because it led her through less then desirable areas inside the camp where few people ventured on a normal or regular basis.
Suddenly she stopped dead in her tracks.
A short distance away, she heard what sounded like someone crying. She slowly approached and found what looked like a teenage girl wearing torn and dirty sleeping attire holding her head in the palms of her hands and crying into them.
As she approached, the girl noticed her and started to scramble trying to get away from her.
"It's ok! hey! I'm not going to hurt you!"
The girl stopped and looked at her for a moment and then leapt into her open arms and embraced her, letting the tears flow freely.
"It's ok... everything is going to be all right. What happened?"
"My... mom....infected... turned on...us. Oh god the screaming!" she managed to choke out in between sobs.
The assistant patted the girl on the back as she embraced her in a hug trying to comfort her.
"There, there deer... everything is going to be all right. I promise the zombies will never get to you."
The girl smiled for the first time upon hearing those comforting words. Her smile was short lived though and it quickly became a frown of puzzlement.
She pulled away from the assistant out of her embrace and looked at her. She had a sly smirk on her face which slowly spread across both her faces.
Wait... faces?
"What the... hell did you do to me?" She asked as the world around her began to tilt and swim.
"Benzodiazepine injection." she said and held out a needle which she had produced from the pocket of her lab coat.
"wha....what?" the girl slurred as she fell to her knees unable to stand any longer.
"It's a sleep inducing drug. Side effects may include aggression, violence, impulsivity, irritability and in a rare instance suicidal behavior. These reactions have been explained as consequences of disinhibition, that is loss of control over socially unacceptable behavior."
She smiled as she leaned over the girl who was now sprawled out on her stomach.
".......why?" She asked as she closed her eyes no longer able to fight off the drugs effects.
"For two reasons really. The first being that nobody will even notice that you are missing. They will just assume that you were infected in the attack and wandered off into the sunset."
She laughed at her incredible stroke of luck.
"The second being, finding you here saves me a ton of leg work in that I don't have to move you very far..."
She stopped mid sentence as soft snoring could be heard coming from the girl. She stood up and noticed a wheel barrow propped up against the building, which she then used to transport the limp girl back across the camp to the out building.
Things were going very well indeed.

Well, to solve this one it looks like there's only one way to be sure.
BIC:
Dark, shaking and with a twitchy eye, continued to stare madly at the big red button marked 'nuke it'. He mumbled hysterically, and just as he made a lunge for the button with an outstretched finger and a shout of "wahahahahaaha!!!!!!" the door was kicked in and ghosty and FITZZ ran in with shotguns.
"Don't do it Dark! Damnit, no!"
But it was too late. The nukes had already been fired towards planet apocalyptic Earth.
But, Dark, in his maddened state, began violently head-banging the control panel, and as he smashed his own skull open and his brains splattered out over the controls, he half-mindedly hit the large green button marked 'return to sender'.
"Aw sh-" said ghosty before the nukes smashed through the flying saucer's windscreen and knocked the top half of his body away before exploding.
ghosty's shotgun, however, flew down to planet apocalyptic Earth, and as it hit the ground, it fired, and brought a rather unexpected end to both Tombstone and Patrick as they were preparing to duke it off on page 127.

Ah that explains how that shotgun came there. To me it looked like that shotgun on page 127 just appeared out of nowhere.
Thanks for making it clear now.

Wait until Halonachos has posted, then using a friendly system of PMing and mature discussion, work on the whole together. Ask only for my help if necessary, but PM me about anything import please.

You two, give it a rest already. You don't like each other (or at least one of you doesn't like the other), we get it. But please, lets keep it mature and calm here.
Karon, not saying you're to blame here, but it might help if you posted 'funny'/cat pictures less frequently so that certain persons do not have to be bothered by it. That way everything runs slightly more smoothly.

Well,we do have "Reinforcements" in a sense,arriving soon in the form of Sillyboy and Scrazz (depending on what they choose to RP of course.)
I'm thinking a possible "three tactic" move.
1. Children and non combatants evacuated,with small defensive group.
2. Mass camp preparation to repel any hostiles (including various sneaky tricks and traps)
3. Small group moves on Jennifer's base...mission destroy base/Patrick and friends.
...just some thoughts and always open for change.

In the meantime...might as well keep busy.
BIC:...
Tombstone motioned for Deadman to come closer to his bed.
" Halon and I are going to make battle plans" Tombstone said to his second in command " In the meantime...I want you and the rest of the boys to start making virus rounds...and bombs...lots of them."
Deadman nodded " I got ya boss." the biker said,he waved Scratch and Cutter to follow him.
" Take Ajax with you." Tombstone said " He can help."
Deadman walked behind Ajax's wheelchair and pushed the biker towards the door.
" Bah...unceremoniously ejected from the decision making process" Ajax laughed " There's something fundamentally wrong with your tyranny Tombstone."
The bikers laughed as the exited the room.
Several moments later,the bikers all sat at a large table in the rec room,each wearing protective jumpsuits and surgical gloves as well as safety glasses.
They had formed an assembly line of sorts and quickly and carefully were creating the virus rounds Tombstone wanted.
Dozens of boxes of 9mm and .45APC hollow point ammo was laid out in front of them,each biker would carefully place a drop of the zombie blood into the hollow bullet cavity using an eye dropper,and then seal the round with a few drops of paraffin wax.
Deadman nodded,pleased with the progress they were making.
"Ok guys" the biker said " Ya'll keep working on the bullets...I'm going to start making pipe bombs."
The biker slid over to another table on which he'd laid out dozens of foot long lengths of threaded PVC pipe,caps and several containers of black powder,accelerant and ball bearings.
With skilled precision,Deadman begin to rapidly construct one explosive after another.
" Bring it on you fething bastards" the biker mumbled as he worked " Bring it the feth on."

Ahhh...so I did.
Right..
4. Halon runs Jennifer over repeatedly with a tank,sets her smashed remains on fire with a flame thrower,extinguishes the blaze (won't expound on how),buries remains,does funky chicken on grave.
EDIT:...ok bro... RP over to you.

Ok...just a helpful reminder of where we all are...
The pink spot in the "woods" is the lumber camp
the green square with red is Pine Ville.
The Purple square with blue is where Halons Hotel was.
The Black circle by the mountains is where Jennifer's "base" is ( I made an approximation.)
