132 // People killing people. VOICE.

[Major West, all things considers, sounds remarkably calm and in charge.]

What you are witnessing, those of you who've found your way into port, is Infection. Don't come into contact with any Infected persons. Cover your mouth, nose and-- if possible-- eyes. The virus is highly contagious and spreads through bodily fluids. Should you or anybody in your group become exposed to the Infection, you have less than a minute to put them down.

And I suggest that you do put them down.

They are not your loved ones. Your friends, your family, your... wardens or inmates. They are Infected. The smallest act of mercy may cost you your life. Don't be foolish.

[A pause.]

Billy. Adam. Tell me you're still alive.

[She's being pointedly quiet] Who is with you?

[Voice]

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
The Marquis, Iago, Snoop, that Abigail woman and her warden. As for yourself?

I'm with Libby, Uhura, Ana, Kahlan and Jace. We're all right for the moment. Well-armed.

My item can't find you. Where are you?

[Voice]

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
A rural area. Trees, a cabin... According to this map we've found, there's a town nearby.

I want you to update me regularly. When you can.

You're all coming home, Henry.

[Voice]

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
An optimistic assessment of the situation.
gimmethemap: (are you listening at all?)

[Voice]

[personal profile] gimmethemap 2010-06-18 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her ire comes up then.]

No, Henry, and you stop that. Whether you live through this or die, you are going to come home. And you're going to see Billy and me and everyone else. I promise you that. But this place is going to test you. Your goal needs to be that you get everyone back safe. If one goes down, then that many, and so on. The last thing you do is give up. Do you understand me, soldier?

[Voice]

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I've far from given up, Morgan.
gimmethemap: (serious)

[Voice]

[personal profile] gimmethemap 2010-06-18 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's what you need to keep telling yourself.

I'll see you soon. Remember to update me when you can. Don't stop and do it if it puts you at risk.

[Voice]

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I know how to handle myself when the world ends, Morgan.

The only thing I want to hear from you right now is that you'll try.

West, I can't fucking heal.

What? But you haven't been bitten, have you?

Voice

[identity profile] lazarusrisen.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I cut myself on some glass. But I can't heal.

I'm okay, West. I'm with Paddy, we're in... I don't know, a dockyard or something?

Are you all right?

Voice

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. Perfectly healthy.

...

Keep away from them. The Infected. Avoid them at all costs.

Voice

[identity profile] my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you on your own?

[WORRY WORRY WORRY]

I'll be fine, West. If all else fails I'll use Paddy as a meat shield.

Voice

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I have Iago, Snoop, and some others with me.

Good. You must...

I can't lose you to this world.

If I knew where we were, we'd be in less of a predicament right now.

Are you anywhere near a dockyard?

Re: Voice

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
No, we're in a forest.

[identity profile] my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good. You need people you can trust.

[Private]

You won't. I promise you won't. You just...

...

West, you're the best man I know. Don't let this place get inside of you.

Private

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not...

I won't allow anything to happen, Billy. You are my future.

Private

[identity profile] my-freeze-ray.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're my everything. Remember that I'm here, Henry. Remember whatever happens, I'll see you back on the Barge.

Private

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll see you soon, Billy.

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
What -

What if 'less than a minute' goes by and nothing happens?

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Can we just treat this as a theoretical question, please?

Say if someone got - bitten. Or something.

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you need to kill them. There are no alternatives.

[identity profile] gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. Thanks.

Libby, trying to find any way possible to avoid killing her peeps if they get exposed :c

[identity profile] thatlibbychick.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
West, how can you be sure that these zombies function the same way as yours? What if the spread of infection is different here?

What if...you end up killing someone who wouldn't even end up infected?

[identity profile] major-west.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Because they do function the same way. It's the same Infection. This is my world.

Better safe than sorry.

[identity profile] thatlibbychick.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I can't kill friends who haven't done anything to harm anyone!

[identity profile] wichita-kansas.livejournal.com 2010-06-18 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't kid yourself. People are going to die unnecessarily if you don't follow that simple instruction.
gimmethemap: (oh for pete's sake)

[personal profile] gimmethemap 2010-06-19 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'll wait until after they've turned if there aren't a million other things going on. At least then I know the person I know has already died.

That way, then we will know.

[identity profile] wichita-kansas.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
You're an adult capable of making your own decisions based on your circumstances. Don't act like I'm telling you to arbitrarily shoot people.
gimmethemap: (Default)

[personal profile] gimmethemap 2010-06-19 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
And far be it from me to tell someone else to think before they shoot.

Good luck to you, kid.

[identity profile] wichita-kansas.livejournal.com 2010-06-19 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
You've got what it takes, Morgan. Just keep your wits about you.

Good luck.
