If there are days where all of the posts are not on the same day, or all of the posts happen 1 day late, that means there was a problem with the satellite. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Day 9 - Ivano
Shortly after I stopped logging yesterday, I proposed the idea that we should go back to the Placid Portobello soon. Kevin thought it was a good idea, but said that he should go alone to check it out. He also keeps audio logs, just like us. We heard him talking through the radio transmitter, saying something that sounded like "Joe.... Hold up there..." I think Kevin was telling us to stay here. Kevin realized that the Zombies are attracted to human voices. He said that whenever he goes outside and tries to log, Zombies flock on to him like flies to rotting food. We have to keep quiet. It pains me, but I am going to have to start whispering the logs, and everything else we do. I hate whispering. Alex and I went to the roof of Wonton Cooks and mounted our minigun there. Now we have a 360° view of the area around us, and we can shoot any way we want. Again, nothing interesting is happening. Alex and I are quiet, slowly running out of ammo, and slowly running out of food. I'm sure my logs will get longer soon, but for now there is nothing to report. Just the steady flow of Zombies. Hopefully Kevin will be back with this Joe person... Maybe we can form a team. This reminds me of a game I used to play before the infestation. It was called Fascist Vampires.... There would be 4 of us holed up in a room with a bunch of Vampires clawing at the windows, ripping them apart and coming through. We would shoot them, and see how many rounds we could last. It seems like I do these logs every night at about 10, and that's when the Zombies come. That means i've got to go. Aim for the head.

Day 8 - Kevin
Food supplies are okay, but I like to be stocked in case we get pinned down. Ivano suggested to go scavenging at the Placid Portobello down the street, since it seems like it was a pizza bar, it's bound to have canned goods we can keep. Ivano started suggesting we all go together but I told him I would go alone because of something I realized. During my trip back and forth between the Town Bank, I would attempt to whisper an audio log, but a zombie horde would descend upon me in an instant. That was when I made a startling realization, these zombies are attracted by our sounds. Wait. If sound is what attracts them, than why didn't they just mindlessly rush our loud-as-hell minigun. Maybe they have some kind of intelligence and aren't just mindless wanderers. After explaining this, Alex and Ivano told me they would hold down the fort while I went to the Placid Portobello. I started creeping around outside slowly making my way down to the Placid Portobello and saw the good old We Buy Silver shop and decided to make a detour for ammo. I was greeted by a huge surprise, both good and bad. Good surprise - Joe was there. Bad surprise - Joe shot at me, missed, hit the alarm, and set it ringing for the whole town to hear. "Get to the back of the shop and barricade the back door!!!" I yelled over the alarm. I could see the zombies starting to run towards our location and ran after Joe while yelling in the transceiver that connected to Ivano and Alex. "You hold up there, I've got Joe here, and no matter what happens, Stay Alive! Kevin out!"
Day 8 - Ivano
What a night. We didn't sleep last night because we were fighting them.... the Lori. We have named the the Lori after the animal, the Slow Loris. We call the really slow zombies Slow Loris because it makes us happy. Normal Zombie = Loris Fast Zombie = Fast Loris Slow Zombie = Slow Loris Stinky Zombie - Stank Loris Girl Zombie = Babe Loris. That's our names for all the types of Zombies. Anyway, we are with Kevin now. We sneaked into Wonton Cooks and found Kevin sitting with his pistol ready, waiting for any noise that would indicate the Lori. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, he aimed at us and shot at us. Luckily he missed. We were running all night. We managed to find a shopping cart, so we rigged it in a way that it would hold our minigun. Alex pulled the cart and I was on the back end of the cart, aiming the minigun. We took turns pulling and aiming, but we managed to hold off all of the Zombies coming our way. Kevin is an amazing marksman, so we don't need to worry about wasting ammo or anything either. It's one shot, one kill for him. We heard a voice speak into a radio, but we couldn't make out any words. Maybe this was someone else. Hopefully anyone surviving in the area will hear our gunshots and come to Wonton Cooks. We are going to stay here for a while. I still haven't proposed the Placid Portobello idea yet, but I will when we start running low on food. I will leave you with a promise. As long as my battery is not dead, I will upload every day (except for weekends.) I will log everything that happens in the day, even if it is not much. If there are 4 consecutive week days that I do not upload for, that means that I am dead. Anyone listening, remember these words: Aim for the head.

Day 7 - Joseph
Day 7 - Wow. A whole week has passed since the first zombies started appearing. I hope we can all hold out until the mutation is cured. Today I found some more ammo outside the We Buy Silver I'm holed up in. Trouble is, I'm gettin' low on food. From the roof of my camp, I spotted a Wonton Cooks in the distance. Maybe there will be some leftovers in there. That will be my next stop. I also found a radio in a broken-down police cruiser out in the street. I'm currently searching the air-waves for some sign of life. Maybe I can get find the positions of my friends. Wonder how they're doin'... Maybe they've found each other... Maybe they're looking for me... Or maybe... No. I shouldn't think negatively. They're out there. I thought I had heard a word or two on the radio, but I accidentally switched channels, and when I went back, all I got was static. But there is hope yet.
Stay safe. Stay alive.

Day 7 - Ivano
Alex advised me not to upload my audio files during the weekends. I find it hard enough already to keep track of all my posts, so I don't think I will be uploading at all during the weekends. Alex wont tell me why, though. I have some good news. We are in town now. We can see the Wonton Cooks sign in the distance. We hear gun shots every few hours coming from that direction as well. Right now we are camping in the Placid Portabello. It is very colorful and it has drawings of pizza everywhere, so my only guess is that it was a pizza joint before it happened. We have a good food supply here. I think that once we find Wonton Cooks, we should come back here. It's a pretty nice place to hold up for a bit. Hold on... I can hear those retarded brain eaters screaming and trying to break down our windows. I better go help Alex fend them off. Hopefully by the next time I upload I will have found Kevin. Have a good one, my friends. Ciao.

Day 6 - Joseph
Day 6 - Phew. What a day. Almost a whole week of running and gunning really takes it out of you. I had no time for an update. Everywhere I turned there was a zombie on my tail. I'm starting to lose hope. I have no idea where my comrades could be. Maybe if I had a way of communication, a radio, a computer, I could track them down. There. New objective. Earlier this week I heard gunshots from the South-West part of town. I have been pushing my way towards it since, but the going is tough. Debris clutters the streets, and I have to pick my footing carefully. Right now I'm camped out in a We Buy Silver. If my guesses are correct, I'm close to where the gunshots came from. I'm thinking I'm right. From all the zombie corpses laying about, it looks like there was a fight. Maybe I will finally find one or more of my comrades. Well, until next time.
