Darkest Before The Dawn

Well all my fellow humans, I managed to survive the first day of battle. It wasn't easy though, the Resistance Soldiers spent the majority of the day establishing our Headquarters. This proved exponentially harder than we originally thought, because the zombie horde had grown far past our expectations. Heavy casualties were suffered, but we managed to pull through and establish a base.


Surviving each day is growing harder and harder, the zombies are becoming increasingly numerous, and some of them still retain human-like cognition, so they're smarter and faster than any zombies we've previously encountered. Humans must travel everywhere in groups, no one is safe on their own. The zombies run around in packs, ambushing any humans that are unfortunate enough to cross their path. Many of the Resistance soldiers that I shared shelter with have become infected and are now part of the army of the undead. They know I am here, and they won't rest until they have my brains.


Our leader, Robert G. Atticus, sent out a transcript this morning telling us remaining soldiers not to lose hope. Our situation seems hopeless now, but we are making steady progress. Today, our mission is to start cleaning up the city, preparing it for resettlement. If we can get more of the city functioning and habitable, we will be better able to shelter ourselves from the horde and focus on perfecting the vaccine that could end this bloody war once and for all.


I must now leave the safety of my home, and enter once more into the territory of the undead...
I hope I make it through today alive.

And So It Begins....

All you humans out there, you better hide yo' kids. Hide yo' wife, and HIDE YO' BRAINS!! because the zombies are coming!!!!


Last night was my first Zombie Resistance Orientation, I went, learned all the rules, and became part of the resistance. My Battalion is the Ballistics Artillery Weapons Logistics Sqauad, or the B.A.W.L.S., I think we're going to make shirts that say "Got B.A.W.L.S.?" on the front. We're so bad-A. 


The battle has barely begun, and already campus is crazy! I had my first zombie encounter this morning and it was terrifying. I walked out of my class in the Business Building and a zombie was waiting for me, he was hiding behind a column so I couldn't get a clear shot at him. He was so terrifying to behold. His skin was gray and rotting, his eyes red and bloodthirsty, his clothes torn and ragged, soaked with the blood of his unfortunate prey. He kept growling and snarling at me while he hid behind the column. Suddenly, he charged me - eyes wild with deranged hunger. Luckily, my sweet battle skills kicked into gear and I shot him right in the head. Eat NERF Zombie scum!!!



My second encounter of the day was right after my second class. I was headed to my bike, alert and wary, when I heard a comrade behind me scream. I turn and fired, hitting the zombie, but not fast enough to save my fellow soldier. Alas, this is war. Sacrifices must be made. 


I'm meeting up with my whole battalion today, we have a mission. I don't know the details yet, but I'll keep you updated.


Keep your fingers crossed that I make it through the day alive!

Subway: Eat Fresh....Zombies: Eat Flesh!

All right ladies and gentleman! It's the moment you've all been waiting for....
In approximately nine hours, zombies will have overrun the campus of Utah State University, and it is up to the few-the proud-the Resistance to stop them. I have received a few inspiring messages from the resistance leader Solomn "Razorbane: Rua, I would like to share them with you now.

Dear World’s Future,

Ever since the events of Z-Day, when the last remaining humans were evacuated, we’ve been working

on building back up from the rubble and scorched earth.  At the cost of our safety. While the process has

been a slow and uphill battle, we keep our hopes high. The dropping of the bombs cost us a great deal

in both people and structure. Hospitals, schools and all forms of utilities lay in ruin with our homes and

families. A hell brought upon us as a last resort by our government, brought upon us by our protectors.

Like a stubborn bull though, we simply won’t be stopped. Trudging through the purgatory we live in

each day with more force than the dawn before. Each time we set hand to the task, progress is made,

albeit slow and arduous at best. Most notably we’ve made leaps and bounds in the fields of medicine,

our surviving doctors are of an incredible breed and caliber and are ushering in the modern day once again. They even theorize a Vaccine to combat the Undead Plague itself.

While it’s not completed yet, the many brilliant minds we have collaborating on the project predict it’s

certainly a possibility. I don’t want to get my hopes too high but I feel like this really could happen. We

could finally be safe again. My Family could be Safe again.

In Hopes

Solomon “Razorbane” Rua

I don't know about you guys, but I have the jibblies. This letter reminds me of Terminator Salvation when the ridiculously tough and attractive John Connor gives a very passionate monologue to the members of his resistance. I know this is just a game, but I feel so epic right now. 

I got a second letter from Solomon this morning, here it is:

Dear Worlds Future,

Another step in the long road ahead of us, the vaccine has actually been formulated. While not near

completion it has a physical form, admittedly something we’ve had a bit of a trial not marveling at it like

cavemen around fire. Gazing into the pictures of the vial as if it were a time machine, apt and ready to

take us back to our wives and children. A genie, preparing to wish our troubles away.

On a less fantasy themed note, reconstruction is coming along quite nicely. It’s been several days

since the last fatality and we had a bit of a celebration today for it. Days we lose our brother and sister

survivors are the most trying of all. Working to build back up from this pale reflection takes a lot out of

you, more so when what little you have is wrested from you.

To not lose anyone today, it brings tears to our eyes. It’s moments like this we cherish the most.

Moments where the future seems possible again.

Gratefully

Solomon “Razorbane” Rua

Can't you just picture some swarthy, ruggedly attractive, soldier man crouched over a meager piece of futuristic technology; the ominous darkness interrupted by a brief moment of hope? I think this needs to be a movie. An epic one, with Christian Bale in it. And Bruce Willis. And Will Smith. And Liam Neeson. 

I have spent much of this past week preparing for the upcoming battle, readying myself with weapons and ammunition with which I will destroy the scourge of the undead! (cue epic music) I have 3 guns, two pistols and one semi-automatic-not-a-pistol... Sorry I don't know that much about guns....

I do know a lot about being bad-A though, tomorrow is going to be epic. I am going to be so legit!! I made myself freaking amazing holsters for my two pistols, picture the Tomb Raider movies when Lara Croft has the guns strapped onto her thighs...and then picture the same thing but with elastic, velcro, and nerf guns. 

To all the zombies out there...

Ready or Not, Here I Come!!!

And in Other news...THE DEAD WALK THE EARTH!!

I am here to inform you, that in approximately 12 days there will be a zombie uprising on USU's campus. Swarms of the un-dead will ravage the university, feasting on the sweet flesh of the living. An Elite human Resistance Force will gather to oppose the zombie horde, and the two armies will have an epic, week-long fight to the death. 


You think I'm joking? Well then poor little unbelievers, prepare yourselves.

That's right my friends. I am 100 percent serious about this. Registration just opened for the USU Humans vs Zombies battle! This is the first year that USU has hosted HVZ, they premiered the program last semester and it was an amazing success. Sadly I missed the registration date so I had to merely observe instead of participate, but it was still epic. You couldn't go anywhere on campus without 


running into platoons of resistance soldiers

Or being swarmed by hoards of the undead

I'm not even joking. Or exaggerating. Not even a tiny bit, this REALLY is as epic as it sounds. And I am very proud to inform you that you are reading the words of the newest Zombie Resistance recruit! I will act as your personal correspondent, keeping you updated on all the zombie slaying action! 

The game starts when one person is chosen as the Original Zombie, the OZ has a week to "infect" as many resistance soldiers as he can, turning them into zombies. He and his new army have to "feed" at least once every 48 hours or they're dead and out of the game. The resistance army, armed with Nerf guns has to try and survive long enough that all of the zombies starve. The week is concluded with an epic, full out battle to the death the last night of the game. Both armies meet on a single battlefield at midnight, and fight until one side is annihilated. 

Words cannot express how I am excited for this to start. 

I just want to KILL SOME FREAKING ZOMBIES!!!!

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
