The DEAD Files 11 - Tithe of Talents - Project Zomboid Tales

do you have any useful skills can you fix a car can you install a door clean enough to stop the smell of Flesh drifting through the cracks can you kill thousands and thousands of people like beings by beating them with everyday items yes it takes all sorts to be a vector and I don't want you at home to think that these heroes are a different breed from you or I technically true as it is if there's something you can do to contribute towards the cause you can be a hero too everyone can be a hero everyone needs to be a hero don't worry you'll be told when you're needed our next report from the containment Zone concerns the so-called specialist initiative as so much wood work was needed at good old Victor HQ that isdom agreed to send our carpenters in to get to work I think in one way or another the Carpenters were made to agreed too great since everyone is is so happy with the arrangement we'd best hope it all goes very well and meets our expectations which is always what happens when we look at Deads isn't it dead 23 Vector 6 redacted redacted it's a wonder we aren't dead already with operations like this and a greater Wonder still they actually want me to deliver this to you in all its unfiltered brutality real stories of real people might just do us some good to hear it eh Vector 6 was landed in a certain spot in the northeast of Louisville where the police had been dealing with something on a street of Rouses at the time of the outbreak the motivation here was that weapons and good vehicles would be easy to come by which Vector 6 would deliver to the HQ a marvelous idea however allow me to field a brief counterargument and then provide you with rather compelling empirical evidence to back it up why can't the vectors be landed directly at the chosen Vector site because there the whole place is surrounded by Angry zombies and the crew don't like it so they reason we'll go somewhere quieter but are the outskirts of the city really any quieter I think what has been forgotten is that this Vector program is designed to ultimately draw zombies over great distances meaning that after a good two weeks of vectoring nox county is heaving with the beasts all over don't get me wrong that's what we bloody well need but it does mean that this idea of an easy entry for our new vectors is a little misguided case in point Vector 6 they were all but thrown from the chopper into an infested Street and were immediately wounded twice by the beasts in the Mad struggle six came out on top wet blood dripping onto the dry blood already lining the sidewalk it was a lovely little neighborhood he took a dead cop's gun and car and tried to drive out of there but it was already too late the zombies were like water flowing over Vector 6 and G gripping onto the car until finally it was anchored still a couple of blocks over six panicked the windows cracked and that's where the report cuts off more important admin to do with a replacement Vector needing to be volunteered and drugged in short order so six goes forgotten he was the man who did our Windows here best fortification guy we had lucky for the world the generals had an inkling who would be second best and so skipping the hard feelings dead 24 Vector 7 redacted redacted miraculously the chopper crew were convinced to put this fellow down right by the HQ I think they realized that the more trips they had to make out over the containment Zone the more likely it was that their machine would malfunction and crash them into the pit of Hell not like we're using official spare parts to maintain those engines anymore mend and make do we all do it top to bottom generals to trapped Survivor ders so whichever you are keep it up fixing a door barricade is easier than dealing with a crack in a helicopter rotor isn't it or not dealing with a crack in a helicopter rotor as I believe was how the case turned out since the zombies in the town had been vectoring over towards Vector 6's last known position for the previous few hours Vector 7 was able to get straight to the woodwork the plan was to secure the Riverside behind the HQ with tall fences so that the zombies migrating along the water way would be forced to come around to the front entrance simplifying the Strategic challenge of fighting a one versus 1 million War simple enough as it already is using Vector 5's collected materials seven got to work on that however he still had to do the daily Vector work the killing can't forget the killing fortunately hammering and soaring for a living leaves you wellb built to do similar things to the monsters breaking Lumber takes more energy than Breaking the lumbering with the weight of the hourly assault on the front yard becoming something of an issue seven started building a new wall on the inside of the cast iron fence a second layer of defense and a shield from the prying eyes of the volatile voyur constantly vectoring in indeed the aerop Plankton the zombies were obsessed with chasing tended to drift about on the wind and most of the time the hordes were only approaching the general vicinity of the vector only at Short distances would they detect the pressure Trails of breath and make the final connection if a vector could remain unseen able to be supplied in secret and had some help from the weather breaking up their Trail it is actually possible for the vector program to be conducted with the zombies Never knowing there is a meal a few meters away from them I say this like I would know it seems possible doesn't it and Vector 7 was banking on it with every scent to his name he began cutting down the trees in nearby copses although most were doing doing good work hiding him from view while at home so this was a limited project he spent hours and hours soaring up fresh batches of wood from the trees a real professional and despite the economy being in shall we say bad shape he was working this was working the vector HQ was really starting to take shape as ever things were shortly ruined indeed all vectors are Deads and these days all Deads are vectors most likely well I suppose we could all be Deads of A Sort depends on how this all ends doesn't it Vector 7's end was Inglorious and horrid or beit more peaceful than most he simply endured various scratches and cuts during the few hours a day he had to dedicate to zombie control confident that he had never let them bite him and therefore he was safe no no there is no therefore safe having cuts on your body anywhere while messily fighting the hordes allows refracted bacteria from the zombies to make the leap onto your skin and clothes and then through the wounds into the bloodstream it takes a while to get going with this infection method but it gets going all right and so Vector 7 began to fall ill and flag in his industrious work which of course only made dealing with the zombies harder it was time for another Vector but the ISD has this little project they like to play at where they let the vectors die out as slowly as possible because supposedly vectors experience strange effects when mutated which really manifest well out in the wild what effects do I mean I mean effects that are similar to those the bacteria has on dead bodies imagine if we could control that phenomenon and use it make us strong make us immune not just to the bacteria but to everything if I have sold this all to you imagine how excited those in power are as the prospect I am not entirely against them don't get me wrong but getting a new vex in their ASAP or more than one even seems the more useful thing to me in the short term then again I am only a grunt perhaps having zombies assault our compound the second the vector dies off is a good thing keeps us on our toes keeps there from being too many mouths to feed among the guards too so well there's no point me giving advice is there definition of insanity and all that Vector 7 knew that he only had a day or two to live he understood what he had to do and how many people were relying on every precious minute his life still commanded he organized all the materials and tools planted out a load of carrots behind the house and wrote down instructions for how to carry on his work on the walls he knew I think that there wasn't going to be another Carpenter available to the ISD until the next tithe buses returned and they as it happens haven't come back recently wouldn't be surprised if a little voice hadn't told him exactly that in in fact and I should not forget to mention that he kept the HQ clear of zombies ill or not bashing their heads in with such obvious strength that one might be inclined to believe all this talk about the beneficial symbiosis between disease and host during the latter's terminal decline terminal Ascent is the phrase then a you'll get so strong and healthy you'll forget who you once were weak and purposeless in death your life will be plain sailing King of the zombies is that what Vector 7 was destined to be everyone around here is working furiously to find out although we can't exactly recover samples from the body without a new vector and that's the teeny weeny oversight I think ISD command made Vector 7 fizzled out sometime in the night following in six's footsteps by hanging around the riverbank at the end to cool his nightmarish fever that was 3 days ago now and we've we've been extra careful and cautious let's say about selecting the next candidate we're so close to success we need to make sure we get a good one that's right one perfect Vector might be able to use the springboard the last seven created to take this program all the way to its glorious conclusion complete control over the horde and endless scope to research and refine new technology from this biological Marvel washing over our lives which in the meantime does force me to alert you that any improvements to safety you have experienced will be temporarily reversed I'm not sure precisely when we'll have a new Vector I mean there were supposed to be sites all across the country I think we just need to be slightly more sure this all works then the ISD will have the position they need to really clamp down on all the other little groups pretending to be the government pay them no heed listen only to my voice because it will guide you into a wondrous future where where narrators don't have to add bloody lib propaganda because their producers are fighting with soldiers in the Next Room cut what's happening out there oh hello are you down here you tell me Madam I understand the whole studio is your castle of A Sort shut up right grabin excuse me what what's the meaning of this you already got what you wanted from me what are you doing don't answer him how and you let's get all this gear packed up Essentials only he's going to convince the whole country to set it Al line would I trying or die trying we should be using that modotto more mac write that down we'll turn this room into the new test cell walls all soundproof ain't they we can do anything in here okay we're getting closer boys let's make it happen
