The group spoke with Corporal Hauser. He had been in charge of 800 military staff around Jacksonville, including the safety camp and city control. He was no longer in contact with anyone higher up in the chain of command and had three men remaining. He informed the group of what he knew of the situation and asked them about their own adventures. The only thing that seemed to shock him was the information regarding the zombie baby.
Exhausted the group then went to sleep, except for Matool who investigated the roof, helped calm the mob of civilians, found some fruit juice and smoothed tensions between Hauser and Timothy. Hauser decided that the only way to be sure about Samantha's condition was to get her some anti-viral medication. Matool agreed and promised the groups help before finally getting some sleep.
Upon waking the rest of the group seemed significantly more difficult to convince than Matool. Hauser finally managed to procure the groups help by promising loot and indicating that something needed to be done about the number of zombies outside.
From the roof the group saw that there were less zombies around the back of the warehouse, near the loading dock. O'Neal came up with a plan to distract the zombies with the forklift, with the added bonus of blowing up the gas tank and taking a few zombies out. Courtney opened the loading dock door and the others took care of the few zombies hanging around as quietly as they could. The fork lift then successfully distracted some zombies and just as successfully blew some up.
Hauser and the group made their way into the city. They soon came across three soldiers trapped in the back of an army truck. Though the soldiers were surrounded by 30 zombies the group tried to help, distracting some of the zombies and finally finishing them off. Though all the soldiers were lost, the group scored themselves an army truck and four kevlar vests.

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.

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.
