IC-OMAHA-The Gathering(Everyone else)
Z-Day - 4:19 PM Central Time - Brooks High School, Omaha, Nebraska
In the north hall, ground floor-
LaTanya laughed when Darnell spoke. "Darnell, you know damn well I'm on the fencing team," she said. "I actually know how to use that sword. If you start poking it around, you're as likely to hurt yourself as anyone else." She went with him, Roy McCrumb, and Coach Ron Moore to the stairs.
"Thanks, kid," said Becky, taking the bat from Emilio and hurrying into the stairwell.
"Glad you made it to," said Chuck Lubachek to Keith Stewart. He pulled Tiny along on his leash after Becky. "Move it, you stupid dog!"
"Don't worry, Principal," said Emily before following him. "My son and his assistant will get your generator up and running. We'll bill you later."
"Right," said Principal Lawrence Adler. "Keep moving upstairs in an orderly fashion, everyone. I'll be the last one up. I need to make sure everyone down here is accounted for first. What about the gym door?"
"We shut it already!" Emily called back as she vanished into the stairwell.
"Boss, we can't just leave you here," said Laura Shelley, concerned.
"I'll be fine, Laura," the principal assured her. "You and Sharon just go. You too, Nurse Marquez." All three of them complied and entered the stairs. Only Emilio, Keith, and Miguel remained with him. He looked back toward the lobby, where he saw Amelia Delacroix.
"Principal Adler!" she called.
"Good to see you, Ms. Delacroix! Is there anyone else down there with you?"
"Tariq and Lori Desmond are right behind me!"
"Good, we're moving everyone upstairs, just in case."
Tariq walked into view right behind the chef and said: "I'm glad to see someone else, especially you. We were making lunch when the power went out, but we've salvaged some food that we can share. What is the plan now? It is a pity that we spent so much time doing fire drills and never drilled for a situation like this."
In the north stairwell, ground floor-
As the crowd moved in from the hallway, a few more people arrived from the basement stairs. Jerry Law and Alvin Drummond found themselves amidst the crowd. Voices spoke on Jerry's walkie-talkie. First Officer Kate Wheeler said: "This is Adam One - do you need a 10-89 at the stairwell? Do you need a hand with Adam?"
"Negative, Officer," replied Dr. Helene Saunders on the radio, "but thank you. We need you to keep those things from breaching the fence right now. Dr. Somerville is helping Adam, and there are more people on the way who might be able to help him if she cannot, and they are a lot closer. You're one of the few people with guns, and we're relying on you for our defense. Once we get the generator back up and running, we'll be all right. We just need to buy enough time to do that."
A wheelbarrow was parked just inside the fire exit. In it were a large wood axe and a chainsaw.
In the north stairwell, upper floor-
Megan Petrovich entered the stairwell from the upstairs hall. On the flight leading up to the roof, she saw Adam Donnelly sitting dejectedly with his face buried in his hands. Dr. Liz Somerville leaned over him and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Adam, it's Liz," she said, soothingly. "Please, get up. We need your help to repair the generator. We need that power, and I know you can do it. I have confidence in you, and you need to have confidence in yourself." He remained mostly unresponsive.
In the north hall, upper floor-
"Come on, children," said Julianne Landers when she saw Enrico Santini enter the special projects lab. "Everyone in there." She led her six students inside. Lisa Marley took her brother Doug's hand and tugged him after her.
In the special projects lab-
Officer Kate Wheeler's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "This is Adam One - do you need a 10-89 at the stairwell? Do you need a hand with Adam?"
"Negative, Officer," replied Dr. Helene Saunders on the radio, "but thank you. We need you to keep those things from breaching the fence right now.

You're one of the few people with guns, and we're relying on you for our defense. Once we get the generator back up and running, we'll be all right. We just need to buy enough time to do that."
Enrico Santini entered and went up to Chester Johsnon, whispering something in his ear.
Julianne entered shortly after him, leading six students with her: Heather Anderson, Doug and Lisa Marley, Teresa Vazquez, Kelly Cameron, and Sunny Kwon.
"Hey, Teresa!" said Diana, waving her friend over. "I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Me too," said Teresa, giving her a hug.
On the roof-
Rachel Cohen and everyone else on the roof heard the women speaking on the radio.
Erica Spears climbed out of the helicopter as the noise of the rotors died down. She tugged off the helmet of her flight suit, letting her lovely hair loose. "It's nice to meet all of you," she said. "I'm Trooper Erica Spears, Nebraska State Police." Another gunshot to the northwest drew her attention, and she saw the pack of ghouls at the fence, where a policewoman was shooting them. She only cringed a little, then unshouldered her M-16 and made her way to the corner of the roof. "I'll help pick 'em off. Stephanie, get to the lab and do whatever it is you've got to do."
Lucy Armstrong emerged from the co-pilot's seat, carrying a toolkit and a steel pipe. She had an M3A1 .45 Grease gun slung over her shoulder. "Hi, my name's Lucy," she said. "I'm a mechanic and I can help with the generator. How do I get to it?"
Dr. Bernard Smith got out of the rear seat. "I can get Mr. Donnelly back on his feet," he said. "I'm Dr. Bernard Smith. It's a pleasure." He held his door open for Stephanie, who climbed out carrying her laptop in its case.
"Thank you, doctor," she said as she hustled across the roof. "I'm Stephanie Bridges, and it's very good to meet all of you. We need to get to the lab right away. Hopefully the generator will be back up by the time I'm finished our work. It's nice to see you again, Rachel. I'm so relieved you're still among the living. I know we're in good hands with you watching our backs." She noticed the EMP generator. "Oh, good, Adam finished the EMP device. It's very important that nobody activates it until we finish our work and give the okay. It would not only kill any chance of powering the fence, it would also prevent us from transmitting a signal, and it's absoultely vital that we be able to communicate. If my theory is right, once we're done, which should be in about twenty minutes, we'll be able to use the EMP to take out all the ghouls within its range. Unfortunately, it'll also fry all unshielded electronics, but there's no way around that."
"The chopper's running on empty anyway," said Erica. "We were lucky to make it here in the first place."
Dr. Brigetta Hausmann followed Stephanie across the roof, cradling her broken arm.

Emilio followed the flow of people to the north stairwell and looked for the generator room. Was it downstairs?

Darnell said to LaTanya, "Baby watch your mouth. I hate it when you talk dirty you know." He pulled out the foil and used it to lightly spank her with. He then said, "Here you need a weapon and are better at this then I am anyway."
Conquer your fear, and I promise you, you will conquer death

In the north stairwell, ground floor-
LaTanya giggled. "Thanks, sweetie," she said, accepting the foil and holding it high overhead to keep it from poking anyone in the crowd. "Come on, let's get upstairs."

Chester
To Enrico, aloud:
"Until a few minutes ago, we've been holed up here safe from those...things...while the CDC figures out what the hell to do. The folks who came in by chopper have some data that Dr. Singh over here needs...Hmm...Now that I think about it..."
To Dr. Singh:
"Hey Singh...what now? Anything I can assist with now that the data have arrived?"

Adam
Adam, slumped on the stairs, struggles to pull himself back to reality...his mind reels, trying to make some sense of it all.
Frantically, he thinks aloud:
"Why here? Why us? All those kids...those people...Steph...is she ok? Gotta keep her safe...can't let those things at her...where's Steph? Should be here by now..."

"I think she's just landed on the roof," said Liz. "She should be down here soon. I hope she's all right too."

Doug Marley:
Doug gives no resistance to his sister pulling his arm and follows her into the special projects lab. "I'm coming Lisa, you can stop pulling me now."

Rachel Cohen
On the roof, to Michiko:
"First of all Michiko, I am not your boss, if you don't want to do what I say, you tell me, okay?" Rachel checks to see she compehends. "Can you wander round the perimeter of the roof keeping an eye on those ghouls, or anything else unusual; if you spot something shout immediately to myself or Erica Spears."
