End of Day 4

I regret to inform you that the scales are close to the tipping point.  As of tonight the official zombie count is 78.  Only 91 Survivors are left.  I fear that by tomorrow the advantage will be in the hands of the un-dead.

Another bit of bad news, the "dead" zombies found yesterday were not actually killed.  They were only severely stunned.  Because of this no tests were able to be done.  We can only assume that there is no way to kill these creatures.

I've gathered a few new bits of information over the course of the day.  It seems as if the zombies have made the campus a kind of home base.  Because of this they either cannot or will not leave.  It also explains the lack of rampant zombies in neighboring areas...

Thankfully I have some good news to share.  Tonight's mission was a huge success.  A group of Survivors made their way to the Armory to try and rescue the injured scientist mentioned in the note found last night.  They successfully found the scientist and had to carry her from her previous hiding spot to her computer lab inside of Coffman Union.  As it turns out, the scientist was also infected, so the team had to move fast.  They carried her from the Armory to Coffman.  Of course they were ambushed, but due to the greater numbers in the rescue group less people were infected tonight.  Once they had made it to Coffman, the scientist had to be protected, but once she was safe she disclosed some information.

It turns out the vaccine is being stored somewhere around the grassy area between Peik Hall and the bus stop.

I can only assume another group will be called to mission again tomorrow to retrieve this vaccine.  Maybe we are closer to survival than we originally thought.

Advice:
It has come to my attention that there is a new hazard among all the others that surround us.  There have been an increased number of Survivors suffering from a disorder I have decided to call Zombie Induced Insanity.  This seems to be caused completely by large amounts of paranoia and access adrenaline.

Symptoms can include:
Insomnia
Trouble focusing
Loss of Appetite
Singing/Mumbling/Talking to Yourself
Vocal or Physical Spasms
Paranoia
Hyperactivity
Hallucinations
Seizures

To avoid getting ZII remind yourself that you are safe when indoors.  Find safe zones and safe routes to where ever it is you need to go.  Stay with people to keep things in perspective.  Help others, don't be too introspective.  Get outside if you can.  Staying in a small space like a dorm room all day can drive a person mad, and now with the added dangers outside this affect is increased ten fold.  At the very least open a window and get some fresh air.

If you think a friend is suffering from any symptoms of ZII take action as soon as possible.  Get them some food, water, and make sure they sleep.  Get them to a safe location and protect them.  Suffering from ZII will distract a person rather than help them.  Keeping a level, logical, head is the best way to approach this entire situation.

Be careful everyone.  It seems like there is a solid lead on a cure.  Everyone help tomorrow if you can.

Good luck Survivors. STAY ALIVE.

Love, Rachael.
