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.

Or a flame thrower.

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

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

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.

I like this plan.

Good. Do let me know if you've got any other suggestions for traps. Or anything else you think might kill it.
abrightboy: (pays attention)

I will.

[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.

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.
