Captain Johansen activates his radio. Airman Wesson, this is Captain Johansen. Are there any more infected visible from your position? He turns to Gary Simpson. Airman, go after Wu, and while you're there grab what you need. I don't care if you've gotta knock him out, but bring him here!

Frank paused for a moment and listened for sounds of other zombies in the intake area. He keyed his mic: "Snipers, do we have any more infected inbound or at the base of the building?" He assumed a combat position and began to move towards the breach in the building.
"Come on. We have to gather these weapons and secure the doors."

Captain Johansen shakes his head. Negative, Airman. Reinforcements are incoming, and we don't know how many infected are still outside the doors. Better to let them come forward than use to charge into the unknown.

On the fire escape-
Sara shrugged David off of her and locked the fire escape door. "Follow me when you're done bawling like a baby," she said, scaling the ladder to the roof.

On the roof-
"Negative, Captain," said Airman Wesson into the radio. He and his partner reloaded their rifles. "No more infected as far as the eye can see, but they could be in our blind spot beneath the overhang. I do see our backup incoming from the north, sir."

Lt. Sara Evans emerged onto the roof.

Everyone on the roof could see a Stryker rolling toward the clinic from the north. It entered the parking lot at speed and showed no sign of slowing. It was heading directly for the clinic's wall, weaving erratically.

In the operating theater-
Airman Tom Wu rushed into the women's ward, still in a panic.

In the women's isolation ward-
Tom raced onwards, heading for the stairs.

In the intake area-
As Captain Johansen and the others heard Airman Wesson's reply on the radio, they could also hear the sound of the approaching Stryker outside. Frank Hodges could see Captain Drake's body still lying in the vestibule now that the barricade had been destroyed. Before he could react further, two zombies stumbled through the entrance into the vestibule. One was in a dress uniform, his flesh sagging on his bones. The other was an orange-suited SF trooper, the other man who had been guarding the door. His suit had been bitten through in more than one place. They both came right for Frank.

OOC,If [b]Frank[/b] doesn't spend his action this round retreating back to the rear of the intake area, the zombies will get to attack him this round. There is no need to roll Sanity, as these zombies are part of the same group as the others. Everyone in the intake area has one combat round to fire at the zombies (or do something else). If you aim at the head, then your shots will take effect after the zombies attack [b]Frank[/b] if he doesn't move. If he does move, there's no problem. Otherwise, you'll have to roll 1d20 for a hit location for each bullet that hits if you want to shoot the zombies first. [b]Frank Hodges[/b] is currently at point blank range if he chooses to fire, but he has no time to aim at the head.

Captain Johansen fires, but the bullet goes wide. Airman, get out of there! He keys his radio quickly. Airman Wesson, what is the ETA on our reinforcements?! He fires a second time, striking the lead zombie in the leg severely damaging it.

OOC,Rolled on some online roller, couldn't find a way to link it here. I got a 48. Got an eight on the damage for the second shot.

"Wu can wait, Sir!" Simpson bawled, as he raised his rifle and shot the Zombie nearest him in the head with his M16A2. "Get outta there, Frank!" he yelled as blood and brain matter sprayed out from the Zombie's skull.

OOC,Invisible Castle's down - I got a 41 to-hit then a 13 for damage and I'm aware the Zombie gets its attack anyway but I'm banking on Frank running like a girl!

Seeing the infected coming for him, Frank retreated to the barricade. "Incoming," he said with a laugh.

On the roof -
Looking to the nearest Airforce personm Keith said: "That Stryker doesn't look right. Get them on the radio. I think they are in trouble!"

Captain Johansen, seeing Frank is safe for the moment, keys his radio. That's good news Airman. How far out are they?

In the intake area-
Lt. Rebecca Doolittle fired a burst at the zombie with her MP-5 that emptied her magazine, but it went wide. Lt, Barbara Ellison also fired at the same time, only to miss as well. Roger Coltrane missed too, and so did Lt. Gomez, but only narrowly. Catherine Rourke scored a solid hit, dropping the other zombie. "Yeah!" she cheered. "I think that's all of them."

In the women's isolation ward-
Tom Wu sprinted into the stairwell, terrified.

In the stairwell-
Airman Wu burst into the stairwell, the door slamming against the wall as he shoved it open.

On the roof-
Sara nodded and spoke into the radio. "They're entering the lot now, sir!" she said. "Driver of the Stryker, this is Lt. Sara Evans. What's the problem?" She paused, but there was no response. Then the Stryker collided with the west wall of the building at an angle. The armored personnel character was severely damaged, but remained somewhat intact as it slid southwards along the side of the wall, skidding to a halt near the main entrance. "God, NO!"

In the intake area-
Everyone heard the noise of metal on stone and the screech of the vehicle as it ground along the wall. It was not visible from within the building, but that was more merciful than anything.

OOC,That's the end of Chapter 4! Chapter 5 in Gold will begin at the exact same point, but in the meantime you're left with this cliffhanger.

OOC,The story continues in the Gold section of Chapter 5, found on the link below.
