Andre Renard. Quebec, Canada.

Andre Renard firmly believes that his “warfare” was probably the most hardest on them all. Try fighting underneath a city. That’s what he did. He, along with many other civilians and MP, were underneath Paris inside tunnels of the dead and the living dead. These tunnels were enormous and mostly unknown. There were many dead bodies along with skeletal corpses everywhere. When the civilians poured in, it became a chaotic living quarters.
Along with the endless tunnels and routes, there were also the zombies that fallowed in somehow. If you were attacked by a zombie, you could hear their cries for help and over the radio. Yes, radios were used, even underground somehow. If you needed help, people would race towards you, but it doesn’t always work. You had to assume where they were. You didn’t always know. Sometimes you’d get lost or end up finding them, and, most likely, dead or reanimated.
There were also floods and toxic chemicals in the air. Their equipment was heavy, old, and, sometimes, unnecessary. Their gas masks might be old now, not working up to the full potential because of the filter. Water was raising and people could be drowned by zombies too.
Sometimes the scuba divers came into help. I don’t know if that was such a smart idea, but it is what it is, you can’t change what already happened. They had a 1-in-20 chance of survival, the lowest branch of any army. Too many combatants and civilians were dying. It was a mess.

Todd Wainios. Denver, Colorado, USA

Todd Wainios is a loving family man with a wife and a studious sun. He tells me his story as I help him with his dishes. I believe he is thankful for the help.
He begins off with telling me that he served at Yonkers, an epic battle that ended up in a mass failure. The next battle that is the main focus of our conversation. This battle was at Hope, New Mexico. This was mostly an all infantry battle with a few humvees. This battle was fought with the SIR, the Standard Infantry Rifle. They used a mock off version of the AK-47. This rifle had a few extra features like this point where it can stab like a bayonet. It also used a different type of round, the NATO 5.56 “Cherry PIE.” PIE stands for pyrotechnically initiated explosive. These rounds shattered on impact and the fragments would enter into the brain and burn. They also used the “Lobo” just in case.
They fought in an open desert area. They created 2 lines with a sharpshooter in front and a reservist behind the first. The reservist’s role was to change places once the person in front had to reload. This was a very effective. In doing so, this allowed for continuous fire. There were also the Sandlers. These people were the resupply guys. If somebody raised their weapon in the air, then a Sandler would come over and give him more ammo, and took the empty magazines and reloaded them. There was an excessive amount of supplies, far more than what was needed, but it helped. If this strategy was used in Yonkers, would have Yonkers turn out differently?
The battle was fierce, relentless, and long. Zack just kept on coming. It lasted 15 hours. Eventually, it ended with a victory in our favor. The reward was great. He got all the sleep he wanted the following day. Morale was up and the battle to retake America has begun with a victory.

Terry Knox. Sydney, Australia

I just caught up with Terry Knox who was on the first and only Australian commander of the International Space Station. The ISS is one of humanities greatest inventions. It was so huge, he said, that you could see it with your naked eye down on Earth. It took a long time and a lot of cooperation to build this station; about 16 countries collaborating and over 10 years. It was expensive and took up a lot of resources. This station was extremely important to humanity.
Aboard the ISS, Mr. Knox and his companions watched surveillance videos and news feeds around the world. They couldn’t do anything but watch. Food and supplies wouldn’t last forever aboard the ISS. Everything was used to its fullest potential, which includes eating the test animals.
There were modifications made to help keep the station on orbit and up and running. One of these modifications included tampering with the ATV, the Automated Transfer Vehicle. These robots, like “Boba”, were also used to help maintain the station.
Many scenes and audio were viewed over time aboard the ISS. They saw the Three Gorges Dan collapse; killing an unknown amount of civilians and destroying everything in its way. There was a funny thing that happened. This zombie was chasing a mole in a sand dune, and when the Zed Head tried to get in the burrow, sand just kept falling on it. The zombie stayed there for 5 days trying to catch it, but one morning, it just stopped and wondered away, as if nothing happened. The mole made it away. They also listened to the Chinese president’s speech. He says it was an “unforeseen tragedy.”
They came across the Chinese space station and heard a distress call. Eventually Terry boarded the Yang Liwei. There was some kind of conspiracy in there, and the station was rigged with explosives. The explosives were part of a “Scorched Space” policy, which basically meant, “if we can’t have it, neither can anyone else.” Luckily, the station didn’t explode and the crew of the ISS took its supplies for themselves, which lasted about 3 extra years.
Terry Knox and the crew don’t regret anything. In fact, if they had the chance, they’d do it again. Terry was a nice man; unfortunately, he died 3 days after our interview.

Barati Palshigar. Ulithi Atoll, Federated States of Micronesia

Barati Palshigar believes strongly in that ignorance is the main reason for the Zombie War. Mr. Palshigar worked for Radio Free Earth. Their job was to give out information. The job, for Barati, was to sort out information that was misleading and, utterly, stupid. This kind of information involves basic survival skill, how to fight the zombies correctly, and, even, religious matters as well. One of the religious stories was that if you wanted to be “cleansed” of the “curse”, you had to have intercourse with a virgin. Think of all the girls who got raped unwillingly. Are some of the religious ways correct? Is it right to just rape a girl so that you’ll be “cleansed”?
He also mentions the IR, the Information Reception. Their job was to process the information and hand it over to Palshigar’s department. It was a horrible job. You had to listen to all these cries and sad voices. They couldn’t respond back either, they just weren’t allowed to. That job became fatally contagious amongst themselves. One kid, an 18-year-old, couldn’t take it anymore and killed himself right then and there. Eventually, after that suicide, all of the operators committed suicide. None are left today. Even his best friend did so, as well.

David Allen Forbes. Province of Bohemia, the European Union

David Allen Forbes told me his story. Originally, when I met him, he was kind of nervous. But, later, he told me about his involvement in Windsor. Windsor was a castle, a fortress for survivors and defensive combat personnel. It is huge! About thirteen acres! It had its own well and other commentaries. There were oil deposits underneath the castle which were tapped into by the engineers. A lot of things were found, according to him.
He gets nervous as I’m about to leave. He wants to tell more.
He talks about “her”. She said that service to others was the highest of distinctions. And that sacrifices must be made. It was a short, non-ground gaining interview, at least in my opinion.
Briefly in the beginning of the interview, he talked about the plundering of the area. It was out of hand during the winter season. Is it morally correct just to plunder any area just for personal gain? How does it affect you, and what will be the effect of the ones you plunder from?

Colonel Christina Eliopolis. Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee

The newest intervies I just recently had was with Colonel Christina Eliopolis. She was a pilot for the Air Force who, originally, was flying the F/A 22 Raptor. The Raptor is the most advanced aircraft of its time. Stealth and high efficiency are incorporated into this wonderful piece of machine.
One day, she had a mission to resupply. Unfortunately, something happened to her aircraft. The airplane somehow split into two, taking Christina out with it. She was lucky, able to pull her chute out and save her life. If she hadn’t, this amazing story would have never been shared.
She landed in a forest-like area. She had a survival kit and other supplies so that she could hold off for the time being. In her past, she had some special training that helped her incase of when/if Zack should attack. Her radio was probably one of her biggest assets. Someone from Skywatch, contacted her and kept on the radio with her. Her name was identified as “Mets Fan”. She helped to guide Christina to her S&R rendezvous point. She stayed on the radio the whole way. Sometimes Christina had a bit of trouble and Mets would talk with her. When Christina asked personal questions about Mets, no information was given.
Christina had a few encounters, rather bad ones to be exact. One time, she was lying in her make-shift bed, and when she woke up, there was Zack everywhere. She jumped down, cracking her ankle. That is utterly painful and unbearable. She had to run and keep going. Mets was with her the whole time, yelling and saying whatever the hell would keep Christina to keep on moving. She eventually reached the overpass where she was told to by Mets to reach. She was rescued. It is amazing how people could be so determined and supportive at times, like the Skywatcher. It turns out Christina may have never actually talked to Mets for real, unless her radio survived the hard landing. When she landed, she mentioned that the radio broke, but she still survived, miraculously.

T. Sean Collins. Barbados, West Indies Federation.

I met with man, T. Sean Collins, who is a mercenary. His job is to be a bodyguard for VIPs and he gets money doing so. At first glance, you wouldn’t think that he was a hired gun. He was clean cut, shaved, nice car, nice house, and even a housekeeper who cleaned once a week. He had plenty of friends, maybe his mercenary buddies. Is it necessary to hire a hired gun just so you can feel safe? If I had the money, it might be a wise investment though.
So anyhow, he and some other bodyguards were hired to protect some celebrities in this unbelievably humongous house with enough food and supplies to last a long time. The funny part that led to this house being overrun was that there were cameras in every room and they were broadcasted all around the world. This person who designed this and come up with this idea must have been an all-round dumbass. At least I think so. So, I guess, people must have seen this and they decided they wanted to live there too. Later on, a whole bunch of civilians came and attacked the “fortress” and were overran. It was intense. He later escaped to a boat, fortunately.

Sardar Khan. Udaipur Lake Palace, Lake Pichola, Rajasthan, India

I just caught up with a man by the name of Sardar Khan, who is a civilian engineer. The first thing that he said, right off the bat, was that there were monkeys everywhere. But that is not the topic of my interview. Apparently, Mr. Khan was doing a road project when, suddenly, he was grabbed him. It was Sergeant Mukherjee who grabbed him and made him drive a jeep. The Sergeant had a device on his lap, a detonator. He was given a order to blow the explosives on the bridge then and there, but he refused because he didn’t want to commit murder. General Raj-Singh appeared! He was so amazed and happy. He saw the Tiger of Delhi! I don’t know if meeting someone that nobody else knows is such a great honor, don’t you think so? They were both told by the General that the plan to blow the bridge was essential or “Shiva’s Wrath” would be executed, which meant the use of a thermonuclear weapon. The General took the detonator, pushed the buttons, but nothing happened. Again he tried. Nothing. The General did a heroic thing. He went out the other way towards the explosives to detonate them. Mr. Khan and the Sergeant went to assist, wanting to be heroes too. They went into hell and chaos getting through the crowds of angry people. Mr. Khan fell under a microbus. The explosives went off. The General and lots of other things were blown up. People felt that this was a turning point and that they were safe.
A monkey peed on him at the end…

Arthur Sinclair, Junior; Taos, New Mexico

Today I was talking with Arthur Sinclair, Junior. He is a humble man indeed. First off, he talks about the “DeStRes” which is an acronym for Department of Strategic Resources. He mentions of all the hard work he had to do just so that he could be trained. Sleeping “with a book under his pillow,” he told me. “DeStRes” sounds like a weird name for a labor force. Personally I think that there could have been a more, well-suited, well thought-of name for a labor work force, wouldn’t you agree? He mentions to me about “tools and talent”. “’Talent” describes the potential workforce, its level of skilled labor, and how that labor could be utilized effectively”, he tells me, ‘“Tools” are the weapons of war, and the Industrial and logistical means by which those weapons are constructed.”
During our discussion, he reflects on the changes that many of the people had to go through. People with high positions in the entertainment business, or business world itself, had to change down to something lesser of their status, like a janitor. I mean, if you specialty was in finance, but they told you had to wipe the floors of dust then I would be pretty pissed off, sort of. Don’t you think it is hard to change from something of higher stature to bottom-of-the-line, low-class jobs, like sweepers?
During that time, people were getting jobs to help support the “war effort”. People were retreating back and there was much chaos. They were bringing unnecessary things with them and holding onto them even if they were invaluable. People just were misguided and confused.
Ingenuity is a great thing. Soldiers began thinking of their own inventions to use. For example, soldiers made the “Lobotomizer,” which was an entrenchment tool used and was mass produced, producing 23 million during the war.

Travis D'Ambrosia. Vaalajarvi, Finland

I was honored to spend time with the Supreme Allie Commander of Europe, Travis D’Ambrosia. I don’t believe that many reporters would get a chance to talk to a person with a high position after a major incident like the Walking Plague. What caught my attention was right at the beginning was when he admitted to me that he wouldn’t deny that mistakes were made. I would have guessed he would have tried to cover it up, maybe. So, a meeting in the UN was happening and, he said, that it was pretty sketchy in the beginning, but it became more “liberating” as it went on.
I asked other questions as well, aside from the UN meeting. I asked him if he had any private suspicions. He nodded and told me that he did even months before the Israeli declaration. Also, I was surprised that he did not hear about the Warmbrunn-Knight report. For a man of his stature, you would assume he gets the top and newest information that comes out. I recall him saying that he didn’t get a hold of it until two years after the Great Panic, and that it was, militarily, almost the same as our actions.
He told me about Phase One, a complete annihilation of the threat, which then created the Alpha Teams. Sadly, Phase Two was never initiated because of the high cost associated with it and its affect on taxpayers. He tells me that they weren’t prepared well enough at the beginning, but he defends his system and says that must never be “so abused” again.

Nury Televaldi, Lhasa: P.R.T.

Just recently, I had a conversation with Nury Televaldi, a drug and human trafficker. Not only is this illegal but, also, dangerous. He was in it for the money. I honestly disagree with doing something just for money because I feel that you should do something with some passion, instead of money. Doing something that you enjoy always seems more rewarding and a lot more efficient in the long run. Wouldn’t you agree? He also revealed that a lot of the infected were beginning to be transported by air. This air smuggling changed air restrictions, and, so, they became much tighter but only in certain countries. “You could get around, though,” he told me. He had a saying which reflected poor security that the countries currently had. For example, say Western Europe increased its security, just go right through Eastern Europe to Western Europe. There is always a backdoor. Also, he told me of some “solutions” that his associates had, like a ship would pull up to any random coast and “unload” the infected ones. Mr. Televaldi had a lot of guts to tell me his “job” and some of the stuff he did. I would guess that this kind of work would get you some hard time in jail and major fines.

"Breck", Vostok Station: Antarctica

I recently met with Breckinridge Scott. It was interesting where I met him; in a reinforced, geodesic greenhouse. As I talk with him, he mentions "fear" a lot. He tells me that "fear" is the most valuable commodity in the universe. People today might say nuclear or biological weapons are an issue as well. As I learned, he makes a so-called vaccine for “African rabies” and sells it to the public. Nothing illegal, right? The FDA (Food and Drug Association) approved this “vaccine” and the only way to get it was through a prescription. I asked if it worked, and he told me, “yes, for rabies.” I even found out that he was making money off of scares like the “dirty bomb scares” by selling anti-radiation pills and other products. Was this morally correct? How should I know? Phalanx is a psychological reassurance that consumers thought would protect them from their fears. This man, used the people for personal interest, but it wasn’t all bad. This invention helped to jump-start the economy again, for awhile at least.
