IC-OMAHA-The Mechanics(Donald Woodridge/Declan McLeod)
Z-Day - 5:05 PM Central Time - Brooks High School, Omaha, Nebraska
In the auditorium-
Donald Woodridge had asked the scientists upstairs to prepare some acid grenades before he had gone down. Stephanie Bridges and Chester Johnson had told him they'd work on it, but he wouldn't know if they had finished until he went and asked them. In the meantime, he had duct taped various sharp objects to broom handles to assemble some makeshift spears, and then he had started working on barricading the two smashed-open doorways in the auditorium. Declan McLeod, after changing his clothes, had joined him to help out. Together they had brought in large metal sheets from the workshop across the hall and secured them to the doorways, blocking them off. They had just finished.

Re: IC-OMAHA-The Mechanics(Donald Woodridge/Declan McLeod)
Donald stood back and took a long look at the doors with the new barricade in place and sighed. "Do you think it's good enough to hold?" he asked Declan McLeod. "I sure hope so. I still don't have any real weapons against these ... things." Donald still didn't have a lot of one-on-one time with any of the zombies, so he wasn't sure what to make of them.

In the auditorium-
Donald had managed to craft four improvised spears of good quality, which were stored in the wheelbarrow. Declan looked over their handiwork. His work hadn't been the best, but Donald had picked up the slack. "It'll do for now," he said. "It's not as tough as the original fire exits, and they didn't hold, but I don't think we'll have to worry about those things here any more now that the EMP device is operating. The real danger we face is from our fellow man. The dead are bad enough, but we had a shooting incident and a murder arrest on top of that. I don't know what's going on in the rest of the city, but there's a lot of desperate people out there. Amelia Delacroix can probably tell you about what it was like in New Orleans after Katrina, and they actually still had a functioning government. We might not have anything of the sort."

"Those bozos in office weren't doing us any favors anyway," Donald responded. "Spending all of our tax dollars over seas and neglecting our own problems... no wonder we're in this state."
He went over to grab his wheelbarrel and said, "Our fellow man... most of them seem like they're just inches away from going stark-raving mad. Maybe we should try to improvise some sort of radio or something. Try to find out if there is a news broadcast, at least. Would that work with that EMP thing they got going up there?"

In the auditorium-
"A radio?" said Declan. "Not one that has any electronic parts. Transistors and semiconductors are out. Vacuum tubes would still work, except those pulses going off would temporarily interfere with it every time. But the hardware would still be functional. A crystal radio's a possibility too. Or we could just make one out of coconuts like on Gilligan's Island." He chuckled. "Of course, nobody in Omaha is going to be broadcasting, but if there are signals coming in from outside, we might be able to receive them. Transmitting is another matter entirely. If we could find a transmitter beyond the edge of the pulse's area of effect...but then we'd need to worry about the dead out there in the burbs. Think we should head upstairs now to that assembly? The scientists might be interested to hear these ideas, and we could find out more."

"Right you are," Donald said to Declan. "Lets see what the brains of this outfit has to say." He starts pushing his wheelbarrel back towards the stairs. "Say, you seen my chainsaw anywhere?"

In the auditorium-
"I'm not sure," said Declan, following Donald back to the hall. "I think Keith had it at one point." The two of them passed through the hall and into the stairwell.
In the north stairwell, ground floor-
Donald and Declan arrived at the landing at the base of the stairs leading up. Another flight went down, into the pitch black basement. "Here, I'll help you with that," said Declan, bending down to help him carry the wheelbarrow.

"I remember when the hardest part about workin' here was scraping old gum off the bottom of the desks, or cleaning up some vomit in the science lab," Donald said as he started up the steps backwards holding one half of his wheel barrel. "What the hell happened? Are we being attacked by terrorists? I knew they had made some advancement in their terror techniques, but little nanobots seem a bit out of their reach, don't you think?" He sighed, realizing how tired he was getting.

"The scientist said it was aliens," said Declan as he helped Donald carry the wheelbarrow upstairs.
