Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk,Yevchenko Veterans' Sanatorium, Odessa, Ukraine

I met Bohdan Taras Kondratiuk, a war hero, in a room with out windows, dim, fluorescent bulbs, concrete walls, and unwashed cots. People here suffered from disorders. He first started the conversation with one word, chaos. Bohdan and his men just fought four brutal engagements. They were exhausted. Keiv was supposed to be the new safety zone. The safety zone was being shifted again, this time to Crimea. Keiv was being evacuated. Their company was ordered to oversee the escape route at Patona Bridge. Even before the crisis, it was a nightmare of traffic jams. Bohdan's men and random people were forced to do traffic patrol and infection patrol. I would hate that job because it would take forever.He said." How are we supposed to check for infection without dogs." There was so much chaos, fights broke out. People were getting severally injured. They'ed given up on the evacuation and were going to kill everyone. Jets were going to bomb the bridge. Bohdan was running and jumped in the nearest tank. It wasn't a bomb, it was a gas. It was RVX, It starts out as rain: tiny, oily droplets that cling whatever they contact. It enters through the pores, the eyes, the lungs. He said you could see the evacuees' limbs beginning to tremble, arms falling to their sides as the agent worked to their central nervous system. I would vomit if I ever saw that happening. It would be horrific. Bohdan ordered their company to withdraw, to head southwest and keep going. The last thing he saw in Keiv was Motherland, the tallest building in the city.

Philip Adle, Armagh, Ireland

I had a chat with Philip Adle. He stated that Hamburg, Germany was heavily infected. Zombies were everywhere. Civilians were trying to flee. Philip set up a command post in the Renaissance Hotel. They were running out of ammo from fighting the zombies. Philip and his men were under strict orders to run away and leave the civilians behind. I would have been very surprised to hear that, just like Philip was. He told Yang that he couldn't leave them behind. The people needed protection. But they ended up retreating. Philip wanted to kill General Lang. He stated that Lang knew that this was just the first step of a long war and we were all going to need men like him to help win it. Phil also said you have to make your own choices and live every agonizing day with the consequence of those choices. That is very well said because making choices is part of life, and if you make a bad one, you have to suffer the consequences. 

Gavin Blaire, Parnel National Guard Base: Memphis, Tennesse, USA

I chatted with Gavin Blaire, who pilots one of the D-17 combat dirigibles. He first said that there was a huge traffic jam on highway I-80. I hate being stuck in traffic. I have no patience. Anything you could drive, was stretched on the horizon. All types of items were lined on the road, suitcases, boxes, and pieces of furniture. There were even abandoned cars. He then mentioned that there were lots of people on foot, walking along the road. Then the traffic started to move a little better. People were flashing their lights and bumping the cars in front of them. Later, people were starting to run, carrying their belongings, and their children. I would be freaking out if I was in one of those cars in the traffic. I would be saying," What is going on here!" Creatures were swarming among the cars. They were reaching in the windows pulling people out or pulling themselves in. If one of those animals came in my car, I would ... I will not say because it may be a little too violent. This crisis would not be a great experience.

Breck Scott, Vostok Station: Antarctica

I had a very interesting conversation with Breck Scott. We met in "The Dome", which is a green house that draws power in from the Vostok Station geothermal plant. I was very cold in Antarctica. Temperatures have been recorded at a world record at negative eighty nine degrees Celsius. With these condition, it took very long to reach the station. Breck does not understand economics. He was the first ones to come up with a real vaccine for rabies. He never tested it on an actual victim. Breck stated that people used to take flu shots all the time and they never knew it was the right strain. I would definitely use that vaccine if I had rabies. Beck made money on home purifiers, care purifiers; his biggest seller was the little doodad you wore around your neck when you got on a plane. He stated that some guy in Florida was bitten and used Phalanx. He was then cured. Breck made lots of money selling this prescription drug and the stock market rose. The press then stated there was no wonder drug and that caused the Great Panic. While i was talking to Breck, he said very inappropriate words. I was very confused when he was talking about Phalanx and how the Great Panic accrued.

Kwang Jingshu, The United Federation of China

I had a great talk with Kwang Jingshu, a medical doctor. He just never stopped talking. He also mentioned that there was no running water, and no electricity and power in Chongqing. I would have a very difficult time living there. He told me the story how the "plague" began. It began when a twelve year old child and his father went "moon fishing", diving for treasure among the sunken ruins of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and the boy was bitten. How can something so violent and contagious end up being in the water. Was it a small shark? I have no clue.He didn't see what bit him because the water was too dark. Later, there were six patients that had this "infection". They all had similar symptoms, and all had similar wounds in various parts of there body. "Patient Zero", the boy, was in horrible condition. His skin was cold and gray and Kwang Jingshu couldn't find a pulse. He was moving uncontrollably. Dr. Jingshu had to call the largest villagers to help him hold the boy down to get a blood sample. His blood was brown. This little outbreak couldn't spread throughout he whole world, can it?
