Jesika Hendricks

Location: Sand Lake Provincial Wilderness Park, Manitoba, Canada

Jesika gave me the story of here survival as a young girl, she explained how here dad became the leader all of a sudden, and how here mom was more of the logical one even though in the end lost the argument of whether to stay or leave. So they headed north, overall I would agree this was probably the best thing for them to do since the higher north the less high populated areas were. The only probelm to me would be that there are no resources, she explained this was the problem she had also. One thing that interested me about her story was how much her family changed. One other thing is that she told the story in the point of veiw of her as a young child, even though she was, it gave me a new feeling to what a child went through since the only other child's point of view I have heard was Sharon in Kansas, and that was weird enough.

Todd Wainio

Location: Denver, Colorado, USA

Todd Wainio is a true Veteran of Yonkers. He even used the common military lingo for the undead, Zack and Gs. Todd gave me the detailed story of Yonkers, which was perfect, especially in the eye of a front line infantryman. Most of the opinions Todd gave me on what he thought the outcome of Yonkers was, made me even have a new opinion on the battle. One thing that sounded somewhat familar was that the only reason the undead were so successful was because of fear. Zombies have no fear, they just can't, and becuase of this it's like all the fear is burdened on the living, normal humans. Fear is the true reason the undead were victorious, not the numbers, strength, or endurence.

Breckinridge Scott

Location:Vostok Station, Antarctica

Today I met Mr. Scott, he was somewhat wise along with being extremely crude. He was the creator, or one of the creators, of the vaccine called Phalanx. The drug does cure rabies, the only problem was that people were lead to believe that becoming a zombie was getting African rabies. I say he was crude mainly because of the language he used, saying f-this, f-ing that, etc. He also made millions of dollars by giving misleading advertising for his vaccine. There are a few things though that I realized like that he created a vaccine for rabies, overall its a good accomplishment, but the timing and reasons for it were the true down side. One other thing I realized with this interview is something he said his history professor said, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe". This truly changed, in my sight, his reasoning for creating his scam, he created some hope in people.

Nury Televaldi

Location: Lhasa, The Peoples Republic of Tibet

Nury Televaldi was a somewhat quite person, even though we were yelling over the loud streets. He told me about how he transported and smuggled things to different countries. He wasn’t as talking as Kwang because I had to keep asking him new questions. Nury did give me many stories he had experienced from his career, one was of a man and his wife who were trying to get to the west but the husband was bitten and when they arrived in the hotel room he started having the mid range symptoms. When I heard this I almost wanted to yell even louder at Nury because of the greed he had, he was probably the reason there was so many outbreaks in different places! Then when I asked him about how there were rumors that his organization was spreading propaganda that there was a cure in the west. He made a easily visible hesitation when I asked this, immediately I knew he was lying.

Kwang Jingshu

Location:Greater Chongqing, United Federation of China

Earlier today I met Kwang Jignshu, he was a doctor and although he had survived the war he choose to tell me about one of the first outbreaks he saw. he told me about a twelve year old boy who had already been infected and reanimated. The boy had also gone and infected seven other villagers. this really surprised me because this village somewhat knew how to deal with this kind of incident and they ended up losing 8 villagers. Doctor Kwang also told me about his career as a medic during battles with the Soviet Union. This truly showed me that he was a gifted doctor that was able to deal with any situation, but when he saw that young undead monster tare its limb off, which made him jump back out of fear, this shows how horrifying these monsters are.
