text: You remember what happened on your first mission, going after them will be suicide and probably a trap.
  
  Luckily 8 men volunteer quickly enough and no-one blames those who don't so you get away with no shame from it, you head off to your normal duty for that day, you're on balcony 6 for the next 4 hours or so. You'll be the only one there since it isn't really an important one, kind of to the side of the main entrance and not looking at anything of interest.
  
  Its half way through your shift when you hear some muffled sounds coming from over the city and it seems another sentry heard it too, you report hearing it then head back up. Once you get off duty though and come back down it's not to a pretty sight. It seems that they worked out that the noise was gun fire and the 'rescue' team was now also overdue.
  
  You think back again to your first mission and what seemed like a trap, your starting to get a bad feeling about the city now. Seems like scavenging too close to the city center isn't such a good plan anymore.
  
  You have to choose whether to dump these guys and head out alone now or hold out until they are ready to make a larger push for the colony to the east, sure you have lost men recently but true to their word, they have recruited nearly a dozen in the last month. You had no idea there were so many survivors up in this area or you'd have come North a lot sooner.
  
  You're also pretty sure that the Capt. is going to order a push East soon too, even with the losses, their numbers are still good and they have the guns and equipment for a full military push through the open streets, the scouts have everything planed out route wise with backups for it things go wrong.
  > stay and help get ready for the push East with the military guys, they have the guns afterall
  It's only a few days before your guesses are proven correct. The captain gathers everyone briefly and outlines a plan to head East. They have one working Military Jeep that they have been saving and lots of guns and ammo stockpiled for the attempt. Everyone is going along. They plan to head at a good pace just around the North of the city center along roads that have been scouted in advance over the past few weeks and head right for the bridge in force. Once over and safely near the 'Eastern Haven' as they call it, some of them will return with the jeep and begin their work here again to gather more survivors and get them across when they grow in number.
  
  Happy to be getting a free escort to your destination you continue your efforts to help the stadium and the next few days pass.
  
  It's the day before the convoy leaves when you are approached by your friend from your first mission just as night falls.
  
  "Hey man, a couple of us don't like the odds of this mission, they are going too close to the city center and that place is a death trap, also recently it seems like too much has been going wrong. We think the harbinger is behind it and we are getting out before everyone gets killed, you with us?"
  
  You weren't expecting this since you've only been thinking of getting East for the last few days but you have to make a choice since he is clearly geared up and ready to leave.
  > stay with the heavily armed convoy
  You aren't going to leave the convoy now when you're so close to your goal so you wish him the best of luck and wave him off; you can let the Capt. Know in the morning and just not tell him how long they have been gone. Staying has always been voluntary anyway.
  
  Morning comes and there is no sign of them, you report to the Capt. what happened and he simply nods. "Thought he might, hasn't been the same since that mission. Glad you stayed though."
  
  You head back to your post and prepare, you leave in 3 hours.
  
  The time arrives and you all gear up and follow the jeep, it weaves through the barricades and you all push the moveable ones out of its way until it stands ready to go on the road, its 50cal. reassuringly manned on the roof.
  
  "All stay close to the jeep and keep moving, we don't stop for 4 hours when we make our first checkpoint, if you are too tired to continue then ride the tailgate and side seats on the jeep for a few minutes but switch out fairly."
  
  Then you are moving. This level of exercise is nothing to you so you don't feel the need to rest until three hours of jogging go past. That's also about the time you turn a wide corner to find a full roadblock of cars.
  
  "I thought you scouted this!" one of the men shouts up
  
  "We did, but things have changed, we switch to route 2! Back 50 meters then we swap to a road parallel to this one, we only lose 5 minutes!"
  
  Its then that the bus comes rolling down the road you were headed back too and blocks your retreat.
  
  Swearing can be heard now and men and women preparing their guns.
  
  "Hold and prepare to fire!" the captain shouts but there isn't anywhere to run even if you wanted too, infected start appearing in the doors and windows of all the buildings around you and start climbing the cars, climbing out of the bus until you are totally surrounded by a horde of infected, even a few mutants among them.
  
  You finally realize that you friend was right, the harbinger COULD control the infected and had come for you all. "Too late to make use for that information now" you think to yourself as the attack begins. At first the guns take them down but then the gunner on the jeep gets shot by something, followed by those doing the most damage, and the rest are swarmed over.
  
  You included.
