Day 21: We lost Page… The teams separated to search a few rooms and my team found what looks to be some medical documents. Before I could get a good look at them though, we heard a lot of gunfire coming from the other room. By the time that we got to their room, the firing had stopped and Page was slumped against a wall, bleeding. According to Aero, they opened one of the doors and before they could react, a couple infected came through the doorway and one of them bit Page. We brought her along a little ways but in the end, she began to turn like the rest and I had to kill her before she endangered the group. I’m not in a reading mood anymore for today. We are going to bring the group back together until we get somepony else...
Day 22: We found a scientist that was just recently bitten when we reached him. He knew he was going to die one of them so he gave us the medicine that he had left and asked us to kill him. Of course, I once again got voted to do the dirty work. Before I got a chance to pull the trigger on him though, one of the infected broke through our group and it threw Fizzle with much more strength that any normal pony should have. It doesn't take much to bring somepony down when four ponies are shooting at it, but that didn't help Fizzle's situation. When she was thrown, she hit a wall and instantly died from the force. At least she died quickly unlike like almost everypony else that is going through this same hell. I went back to fulfill the scientist's last request before we moving on but even if it was his final wish, that still doesn't sit well with me. I hope this pattern doesn't continue because the last thing we need right now is less firepower.
Day 23: Thankfully, there were no injuries or deaths today. We have mainly been clearing rooms all day while on our way towards the elevator. We found a couple more saddlebags finally so now i don't have to carry everything. You would be surprised how much harder it has gotten to do that though. I’d hate to see how many of the infected are on the main floor. Also, about those documents a few days ago, they were useless to me but roger said he would take another look to connect some dots. Hope tomorrow goes this well.
Day 24: A red stallion named Chase has been added to our group after we found him searching some desks in one of the rooms. I gave him the weapon that Fizzle was using for now since the best that he has was a broken piece of a seat. I don't plan to tell him where we got the gun yet, just in case he might flip out and not use it. Also, I think Roger has come to the same conclusion that I did. Those documents don’t really tell us anything other than how the virus affects a pony's health after being infected. So basically, it's telling us what we already know. There are really only a few ways that they could have gathered that information and one of those ways is by having multiple test subjects for this. That would definitely explain how the virus spread so fast at least.
Day 25: The power went out earlier today which I must admit made me just about hit the ceiling. Having a unicorn hasn't been more helpful than it is now.Roger knew a light spell and used it almost out of instinct. Chase also had a few flashlights in his saddlebag just for such an occasion. Sure it's not very much light but it is far better than walking around in complete darkness. One of the infected took the opportunity and snuck up on Roger. Before we could react he got a really nasty bite on his right hind leg. Now what is surprising though is that he claims to be fine. Other than walking funny, he seems to have been unaffected. I can only come to one conclusion as to why he isn't turning and that would be that he is somehow immune to it. I don’t want to test our luck with another bite though no matter what caused roger to survive. We will have to keep an eye on him just in case. Also I think we are close to the elevator so we should be able to make it there soon. Slowly but surely...
Day 26: Well we definitely dodged another bullet today. Two infected came running out of the darkness and if it weren’t for Red and Aero, we might have lost somepony again. One came straight at me and other charged at Chase. Red stopped the one coming at me with an almost point blank shot, sending blood and chunks of it's head flying everywhere. Chase panicked just swung the pipe that he was carrying and Roger shot it a few times as it stumble backwards. I'm really going to need a shower whenever we can find one because unlike Red, blood sticks out like a sore hoof on my coat. On a good note though, we are just a little ways away from the elevator. Main floor here we come!
Day 27: We made it to the elevator finally! After all of this time, the elevator had better give a way up. There was a dark brown unicorn trying to pry open the doors when we arrived. He said his name is Breaker and he also has what looks like a make-shift shield and a shotgun. Nobody knows what is up stairs though, so we are resting in a room near the elevator for now. Breaker will definitely help since he can lead the charge with his shield. Tomorrow we make a break for it.
Day 28: That elevator was quite difficult to open. We used the pipe as leverage and even then, we had to have a couple of us pushing it. Inside we found just a single infected and the remains of its last meal. A single shot took of that problem. Now obviously, with the power off, an elevator won't work. I don't know what I was expecting to happen but I tried pushing a button just in case. Thankfully, there was an escape hatch in the elevators ceiling. We pushed it open and went one by one through the hole. It didn't take long to get everyone up to the main floor. Aero flew Breaker up first just in case any infected decided to come after us and Roger helped by making everyone as light as he could when their turn came up. As Aero brought up the last pony, we were lucky to find that the entrance had already been pried open and our path was relatively clear. We gathered quickly and made a line as follows: Breaker, Roger, me, Aero, Chase, and finally Red. We all rushed forward towards the exit, killing anything that got in our path. There most likely would have been more, but since the entrance had already been opened, a lot of them must have left. When we finally got outside, we saw a small store a little ways ahead and wasted no time in rushing to it. The sun was almost blinding after being in the dark for so long. The store was covered in numerous posters saying things like "get a gun!" and "the next best thing for protecting yourself is finally here!". We are going to stay here for the night and search this place up and down because we are almost out of supplies.
Day 29: On the road finally. We were able to get about a weeks worth of food and drinks from the store. A road map was also inside so that should come in handy. I find it kind of ironic though that a store covered in gun posters didn't have a single gun in it. The lab was set out in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere but the next town is actually kind of close. We should be able to get there before the end of the night if we just keep walking. We are going to need to find a better way of transportation though if possible. A buggy might work, that way we can just have a couple of us pull it at a time and swap out as they get tired. Hopefully we can find one soon.
Day 30: We made it just like I thought we would. There doesn’t seem to be very many of those infected here but there aren't any living ponies here either... Not much of a surprise that whatever this is had gotten to here by now though. I'd imagine that this swept through rather quickly because so many things were left behind. Food, working utilities, things we could actually use. Going without a bath or anything clean at all for a month makes this kind of thing quite the luxury. Even the food that we found around here tastes amazing in comparison to what we had been eating. Unfortunately the food was far from nonperishable so it wouldn't last very long if we brought any of it with us. Even so, we will enjoy this night and get cleaned up. It's hard to keep track of the team when everyone is a different shade of red.
