Yes, hello. Maybe you remember the mysterious Dogtown building past our oh-so-very-scenic river of blood that some people around here considered the holy grail of answers. Well, we went to check it out. And why would we deny you all the enlightenment it held.

[It's sharp, snide. Someone's in a mood. Even for Rodney, it's a mood.]

You ready for this? It's a zombie. There's zombies now because apparently that's what this place was lacking. You know, just the other night I thought in between all the skeleton horses and amnesia and breaking down of critical infrastructure there's such a lack of dead bodies pursuing me, it's a real letdown.

Dead guy's dressed like a hunter or trapper and shambles with a jolly tune on his lips. Oh, and did I mention the gun? Because there's a gun. Because not only do we get the Terminator's fleshy brother snapping at our heels, obviously he should be able to rain down a hailstorm of bullets at us while he's at it. Because that's fair.

So if you hear whistling, I highly recommend removing yourself from wherever you are unless you feel like playing target practice with things that go Natty Bumppo in the night.

What methods have you tried? To kill it, I mean.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

We tried shooting at it, it didn’t work. Not like in the movies at all. It gets hot, but it doesn’t slow down.

I tried destroying the web bridge, to trap it, but it must know some other way around the blood river.

[abrightboy]

I’m not a zombie expert, but don’t you have to, like… cut off their heads?

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

Couldn’t get close enough to try, he was shooting at us.

But even when aiming for the head, didn’t stop him.

[abrightboy]

I guess you guys need, like, a scimitar or something.

[not really here]

[energyfieldgood]

[John's mic might pick up some yelling in the background along the lines of Oh yes, my bad, let me just pack the PORTABLE GUILLOTINE next time!]

[abrightboy]

Do you guys need help handling a blade? I could show Rodney which end to hold.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

I know how to handle a blade, I promise.

I just find it more efficient to use firearms.

[abrightboy]

Except not today.

[clavesregni]

I shot it right between the eyes. If it has a brain, it's impervious to bullets.

[abrightboy]

Maybe fire?

[clavesregni]

Now's as good a time as any to learn how to make bottle bombs, I suppose.

[abrightboy]

Or a flame thrower.

[clavesregni]

I'll see if I can't borrow one from ADI. We'll have to be prepared to try anything when we go back.

[abrightboy]

It can't be unkillable. We just have to figure out what it's vulnerable to.

[clavesregni]

Even if it is unkillable, there's got to be a way to capture it. We'll bring the flamethrower, and maybe a net gun, if ADI has one. We could try digging a pit and driving it into it. Or a noose trap, perhaps. Or even just a bear trap.

It was hard to tell how capable of thought it was. If it's just a husk without any higher thought left, it may be easier trick it than fight it.

[abrightboy]

I like this plan.

[clavesregni]

Good. Do let me know if you've got any other suggestions for traps. Or anything else you think might kill it.

[abrightboy]

I will.

[ferriswheelsandfootball]

[Just gonna scootch on in here as the guy who got killed by said zombie—]

Are we sure that’s a good idea?

I’m not saying I completely disagree [A quick glance at Rodney, look he wants revenge ok and he’s pretty sure with his new powers he can actually do some damage this time—]

But if we’re wrong and that thing gets loose, we’re screwed and so is everybody else.

I’ve had some experience capturing super dangerous aliens, okay? We had to keep them in a force field.

I find my current force field supplies very lacking nowadays.

[clavesregni]

It's loose now, isn't it? There's nothing stopping it coming out of Dogtown, and ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.
