Philip Adler: Armagh, Ireland

I interviewed Philip Adler today. He was a soldier, but also a West German. The significance of being a West German was that they never forgave themselves for the atrocities committed in World War II. In East Germany on the other hand they were told that they were not responsible for the atrocities and that they were good communists. This had a direct impact on Philip because he was given the order to leave hundreds of refugees alone to act as fodder for the zombies while the unit pulled out. He didn't want to comply with this order though and hated General Lang for ordering him to do it. What made him hate General Lang even more was that he admitted to everyone that he couldn't live with himself and handle the burden of remembering this and killed himself. Philip lost all respect for him because of this, he ordered mass murder and killed himself because he couldn't handle what he had just done. He couldn't have even waited for him to let him kill him. This order was given under the Prochnow Plan, which was the German version of the Redeker Plan, but even after Philip had learned of why he was ordered to do what he did he still hated General Lang. He hated him because General Lang knew it was the beginning of a long war and that he was one of the people needed to make it successful, but gave up. I don't take pity on General Lang either, but I find Philip's attitude towards his commanding officer to be slightly disturbing.

T. Sean Collins: Bridgetown, Barbados, West Indies Federation

Today I interviewed T. Sean Collins who is a mercenary, for lack of a better word. During the great panic he was hired by celebrities that had the money and power to buy an island to build a giant fortress on. It was fortified with large, fortified walls, houses, steel gates, and enough guns and food to last for the rest of their lives, which is probably exaggerated but possible. These were celebrities that he was a hired gun for though, they had to always be on camera and showing the world what they were doing which led to their untimely demise. People, yes regular people, that had seen them on T.V. or something else had gathered together to raid and take over the fortress for themselves to keep themselves safe. He was there to defend them, but the shear number of them against the guards at the garrison made it impossible for them to keep them from getting inside. The guards escaped while the 'normal' people attacked the celebrities and took over the garrison, but mostly destroying it. I think, as did Collins, that if the celebrities had just got over themselves and not demanded attention during an apocalypse they would've survived.

Todd Wainio: Denver, Colorado, USA

Yonkers was a horrible defeat for the United States Army. The 'Zack', what zombies are called by the military, had completely crushed the US Army's fortified position. The problem was that they were ordered to set up on the streets, dig foxhole to hide in and barricades, when they were surrounded by plenty of houses and tall buildings that they could've just stationed themselves on top of and picked off the zombies. That was the one of the downfalls of the military operation at Yonkers. The another downfall was that it was impossible to 'Shock and Awe' the living dead. Artillery may have blown they to pieces, but unless it destroyed their brain, they didn't care.
Finally, and probably the biggest error of Yonkers, they didn't have nearly enough artillery or ammo to take out the hordes of thousands of zombies. They only had enough to take out the beginning of them, but the hundreds of thousands that followed them wouldn't be able to be killed. If they had been overall smarter about their positioning of their troops and weaponry then I think that Yonkers would have turned out differently.

Breckinridge "Breck" Scott: Vostok Station, Antartica

Today I interview Breck Scott. He saw the break out and panic of the "rabies" and what it was doing to humans and saw it as an opportunity to make money. He created a "vaccine" for rabies, but in truth it was just a drug that was put on the market to make him money. His intentions in doing so were unmoral and selfish, but really the drug's purpose was to take away peoples fear of infection and to aid in the stressing times and recession. While I don't agree with him seeing a world wide plague that was infecting and killing the human race as an opportunity to get rich, the effects of what he did were amazingly powerful. Phalanx, that's what the drug was called, was only a cure for fear, but it helped boost the economy and raise peoples spirit and moral. It could be said, and even by himself, that he himself solved the recession and America's problems with a fake vaccine that he was using to get rich fast. This astounds me, and I'm truly confused on how he pulled it off and got it past the government and FDA because it was obvious to them (as stated in a previous interview) that this drug was a fake, but it also aided the government in making their job easier. So I guess he did more good than bad in the end.

Nury Televaldi: Lasha, The People's Republic of Tibet

Today I interviewed Nury Televaldi. He was somewhat reluctant to talk with me at first, only giving the smallest amount of information to answer my questions, he started answering more in depth later into the interview though. He was a shetou, a smuggler of refugees. Most of the questions I had to ask to keep him talking, but they all directed themselves towards his trade mostly before the outbreaks started getting too intense. He warmed up to me, I think, and started answering more in depth, but as he did it seemed like there was a lack of moral standing in his trade. He was willingly smuggling refugees that had been infected, only in their early stages, but this seemed irresponsible to me. Helping to spreading an infection that turned humans into something inhuman only to turn a profit. It's what smugglers do though I suppose. He hesitated when I asked him about the myth the shetou propagated about a miracle cure in other countries, he said he didn't do it himself, but I doubt this honestly. He had no reason to think it over if he hadn't done it. That, or maybe it was possible that there actually was a cure some place that the shetou had known about, but no one stepped forward to address their findings. Either way, this interview was slightly disappointing.

Kwang Jingshu: Greater Chongqing, The United Federation of China

Earlier today I had an interview with Kwang Jingshu, a Chinese medical doctor. He seemed tired from all the past events that have happened to him, but he wasn't reluctant to share his experiences with me thankfully. He explained the symptoms of the infected before they broke out completely: high fever, violent shivering, and bite marks from where they were attacked. He explained in detail his encounter with the source of the seven patients in critical condition, a young twelve year old boy. He discovered, while trying to take a blood sample from the boy, that he no longer had any blood in him, or if he did all that was left of it was brown and destroyed liquid. While he was examining him, the boy tore off his own arm and broke free from the chains binding him and the doctor fled from the room locking the door behind him. He explained the event vividly, it made me feel sick, the boy hadn't even flinched after tearing his own arm off. While he was evacuating the patients the Spetsnaz attacked the helicopters, but no specific reason was given for the attack other than there had been previous border violence between China and the Soviet Union which was ended back in 1969. I want to know how the Spetsnaz had gotten there or at least why they were there at that time, it just seemed so unusual... I didn't get a chance to ask him about this considereing he had already provided me with ample information about the incident and the attack wasn't the main point of the interview, but I wonder if the Spetsnaz had known already that there was something unusual happening that night.
