I woke up and was able to take the first hot shower in over a month. It felt amazing! After that I got a fully cooked breakfast and a shave/haircut.

The SB troops took all of us who had our tickets drawn into a room for orientation. A guy came out and introduced himself to us, he told us that we had been selected for the Seattle ReOccupation Project (SRP), and that if we wanted to stay in the city we had to follow a strict set of guidelines to ensure our safety, as well as everyone else’s.



He told us that all of us we were going to be interviewed, and based on our skills and education, we would be assigned jobs. I raised my hand and asked what would happen if we didn’t really have any skills or education. He said that they would “figure something out”. I don’t like the sound of that at all. He also said to think of Seattle as it was before the outbreak. The rules are about the same as they used to be, but we had to remember that Stormbreach Industries is under contract with the US Government, and they have the authorization to secure the area and establish a base of operations by any means necessary.



One woman asked if this was constitutional, and said something about how American troops cannot operate on US soil. He reminded her that they are a privately owned company and not subject to those laws.



I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really know what’s going on, but now I can see why Charles didn’t like mercenaries very much.



We were given an informational packet, with all the information about the SRP as well as a brief history of Stormbreach Industries. I flipped through it, but nothing really caught my interest except for the rule that there is a 8pm curfew, and if you are caught breaking curfew harsh punishment awaits. Weird.



The rest of the night I just stayed in the bunker and got some much needed sleep. It was nice to not worry about zombies, or hear automatic gunfire while you are trying to get some shut eye.



I wonder how Charles is doing back on Mercer Island?
