Mary-Lou Phillips: NASCAR driver. Has been in shock since the cruise has only just now come out of it.
The RV is filled to capacity and after some tension between David and Timothy and some obstructions on the road, everyone makes it to the Rescue Centre. Unfortunately, Jacksonville is lost and the rescue centre has been overrun. Michael tries to reverse the RV but they are soon caught by fleeing civilians. Hundreds of people, desperate to escape, try to get aboard. Soon six soldiers drive people away from the RV with gunfire and get aboard themselves. They immediately demand that everyone drop their weapons and tell Michael to keep reversing. When he refuses they put a gun to his head. Everyone feels the RV occasionally run over civilians and Michael weeps.
Samantha suddenly appears from the rear bedroom and the soldiers, assuming she is a zombie, move to deal with her. Because of the crush of people in the RV only one soldier gets close and Peter executes him with a kitchen knife. Just before all hell breaks loose the RV is rammed by another vehicle and tips over.
Everyone hears the approach of faster moving zombies and the terror of the civilians outside. The group breaks and runs. O'Neal carries an unconscious Courtney. In their desperate flight Tommy and the baby he's carrying, Michael, Zachary, David and his sons and Joe Recht are all lost.
Tyrone makes his way to the safety of a nearby warehouse and shoots his way inside. The others follow. Numerous other civilians make their own way inside and hide. Hundreds of zombies moan and try to beat their way inside. The group checks the perimeter and Mary Lou gets a forklift to try and start barricading doors with pallets of food. While checking the other doors O'Neal and d'Artagnan meet another group of soldiers lead by Corporal Hauser.
The time is 3am 29th of January.

One remaining passenger of the Pinnacle
The group meets another group of survivors. Father Raymond has gathered some locals, and one outsider, together in his church. They seem to have supplies but are trying to get transport together to get to Jacksonville. The two groups eat together and share information. When Michael learns the group has a vehicle large enough to get everyone to Jacksonville he offers spare parts in exchange for a lift.
At this point Monica Kadrey goes into labor. Father Raymond, Jean Brooks and Timothy Hickman leave to help with the birth. The group, especially Matool, takes the opportunity to investigate a suspiciously sick girl, but to the best of their ability to tell, she hasn't been bitten.
Dave Brewer and his gang then appears - demanding the PCs. He begins shooting up the church. Something then goes terribly wrong with the birth. Timothy Hickman appears covered in blood and incoherent. d'Artagnan investigates and finds Father Raymond gutted on his bedroom floor and Monica in a similar state on the bed. d'Artagnan passes out. Further investigation reveals Jean Brooks in a similar state in the bingo hall. Jean rises up and Courtney notices that there is something different about the way this zombie acts before putting it down with a well aimed AK round. The group finds itself trapped in the church with gun-toting bikers outside and a zombie baby inside.
The group defends itself from the baby and it is finally put down by Matool. At this point zombies arrive outside and the bikers leave, firebombing the church before they go. Michael and Zachary arrive in the RV, the group fights it's way to the vehicle and everyone escapes.
Michael knows where the Jacksonville safe zone is and heads towards it.

NPCs of note:
As the group continues towards Jacksonville the Winnebago suffers a flat tire. O'Neal attempts to change the tire but the group is almost overrun by a large number of zombies. They are saved at the last minute by d'Artagnan, a hero with two swords and a not particularly dazzling smile.
Back on the road two desperately foolish hitchhikers attempt to rob the group - and are left on the side of the road with only their pants and a knife each for their troubles.
The group continues towards Jacksonville.
