Snippet #2393926

Sam had just finished explaining the options to Howe when the leader programme pinged again signalling a new arrival.

“Mr. Tanner, this is Christopher Galloway. I’m here with Claire Hartford. We’re in the office of an apartment complex, quite far from the storeroom, we’re not quite sure how to make it there.”

“Galloway. Ok hang tight I’m looking for you now.”

Sam quickly brought up their location on the security cameras. They were in an office on the ground floor of an apartment building. Galloway’s Nakatomi profile popped up and Chris looked at the goateed profile picture and compared it to the stressed looking man on the security feed. Galloway was a doctor, a chief in fact, and another Englishman.

"What the bloody hell is going on out there?” Galloway asked.

“Wish I could tell you Doc. The GM has gone haywire and released something called the Chimera project all over the Ark. I’m pretty sure that’s what caused the sudden outbreak Zombosis.”

Sam pulled up Claire Hartford’s file and quickly ascertained it was another one of Douglas’ geniuses.

He checked the security feeds around them but it looked like they weren’t in that much danger. They were a short run away from Douglas’ building though and could probably be used to get to him.

“Ok you’re at sea level now or floor 0. The Alamo is two floors below you and there’s an armed Security Operative on his way there now. However floors minus 10 to plus five are about to lose main lighting. Shouldn’t affect you too badly above sea level but it’s real dark down below if either of you have any technical knowledge I think Detective Howe could use a hand. The other option is making your way across the Plaza to the Executive apartment building and climbing to Floor plus 15, that’s Douglas Wahidin’s penthouse. He’s stuck in there. There’s a few infected on each floor but no massive hoards.”

Sam shot a glance at the security door separating him from the hoard outside.

“Your call.”

"Galloway, this is Detective Elijah Howe. I can try to help you out. Can you give me a level?"

Sam thought for a second and realised he was being foolish. The Alamo might work later on as a safe haven but for now it made no sense.

“Yes ok Howe. You, Hartford and Galloway are going to meet up in the apartment office space on Floor 0. Howe I’m sending coordinates to you now. Hartford and Galloway sit tight Detective Howe is on the way. Once he’s made contact you should then proceed to the penthouse where Douglas Wahidin is currently located. I’ve sent that coordinate as well.”
