PCs:
Debbie: A young woman who worked in marketing, from Arizona, accomplished with a knife
Courtney: A wealthy New York business man
Tyrone: An IT professional with a startling propensity for violence
Matool: A ranch worker, a talent with the blade
O'Neal: A ship's engineer, dangerous with a wrench
Peter: A Russian with a lot of tattoos, ghostlike in the forest
d'Artagnan: Musketeer and hero. Died at the Siege of Maastricht in 1673
Agent Ahab: Secret Service agent. Very very angry.



NPCs of note:
Dave Brewer: Leader of motorcycle gang, the Ghost Riders
Tommy Vikarios: A teenager with a bad attitude
Baby Tommy: Baby found in Fairport

Michael Bennet: A mechanic
Zachary Hutchence: A farmhand
David, Gregory and Peter Brooks: A father and two young sons, have just lost their wife/mother

Timothy and Samantha Hickman: Father and daughter. Samantha is very sick.
Joseph Recht: An old man.
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.
