The Elbow Room

[Definitely Not Axe Hack]

"Right. Got'cha."

Yuki tosses the Paris Hilton CDs aside, then tosses the damaged turntable into the barricades. While tossing the table, she finds a metal case underneath it. It is labeled in big bold letters, "NECROTECH". Yuki opens the case real slowly, as if it were containing a bomb. The case contains four blue syringes and five green syringes. One of the slots in-between two of the blue syringes is empty.

"Hey Sarpek? What's this? They look like revive syringes, but the coloring is all different."

[Sarpek]

"Don't touch those, either. They contain the zombie virus, and an antidote. I have no clue why I still keep all the DJ's stuff here, what with half of it being really dangerous. In fact, I think I'd better get rid of those." He walks over, and gently takes the box from Yuki's hands. He puts the cover back on, and ascends to the roof in the cargo elevator. He returns a few minutes later, dusting his hands off. "THere. Stashed it in my warehouse next door. That place is like the warehouse from Indiana Jones. Tons of stuff in there, most of it there for safekeeping. I also keep my experiments there. Completely safe, too. Lots of lethal deterrants which keep out any people who don't know the way in, and I'm the only one who does."

"I wonder why this DJ had the zombie virus?"

A helicopter whirs overhead the bar. After a few seconds, a loud thunk is heard on the roof, followed by the sounds of the helicopter leaving. The helicopter had dropped a large metal crate on the roof. Attached to it is a note that reads, "I heard the radio broadcast. I'm not sure who's left, but enjoy this present of mine. All the booze you can imagine. See ya around. -Spinbad".

Back inside the bar, Yuki looks up to the ceiling.

"Hey, Sarpek. You heard that? It sounded like something landed on the roof! Should we go check it out?"

[Sarpek]

"We'd better. Sounds like a military supply drop. We'd better get it before we get swarmed by looters." He slides open the doors to the cargo elevator, and escorts her into it. They ascend to the roof, which is covered in many devices under tarps. Sarpek examines the note on the crate. He laughs. "Good old DJ. He may have been nuts, but he did look after his buddies. I'm not sure we can even get this thing into the elevator."

Yuki glances at the note, and then at the crate.

"I guess you weren't kidding when you said this DJ had outside military contacts..."

Yuki takes a closer look at the crate.

"We could carry the contents, but we'll have to bust this lock first."

Yuki looks at Sarpek.

"Say, if this DJ had outside military contact, how come he never had them airlift you all out of this kyonshi infested city? I mean, if he must be baka if he never thought of it."

[Sarpek]

"Basically, since we've all been zombies at one time or another, that means that the virus would be getting out. The military lets him do whatever he wants with this stuff inside the city, but if he tries to fly over the quarantine walls, they'd shoot him down." Sarpek pulls a pair of bolt cutters out from under one of the tarps, and snips the lock. Opening the top of the crate, he whistles in admiration. "I have no clue how he gets this stuff. I mean, where would you find 50 year old scotch in Malton?" He picks up a box, and carries it to the elevator.

Yuki enters the crate and grabs a box of sake.

"Now if only there were cherry blossom trees around here..."

She carries it to the elevator. A low moaning is heard from the ground level. Yuki peers over the edge of the roof. A small group of three are clawing at the barricades.

"I think we have some company..."

[Sarpek]

"I got it." Sarpek grabs a lever action rifle from a box inside the elevator, and loads three rounds into it. He leans over the edge, and quickly dispatches the zeds. "Great find, this. Uses .38, same caliber as all the pistols lying around."

[Definitely Not Axe Hack]

Yuki looks off to the East.

"I'm not sure if 3 shots will be enough. It looks like a small group is coming in from the East. Do you think it might be the Bash?"

[Sarpek]

"The Bash? What's that? Pretend for a second that I know nothing about the past months, which I don't." Sarpek walks over to one object, and pulls off the tarp, revealing a home-brewed artillery cannon. He unscrews a handle on the back, and hauls open the back. He loads a large amount of scrap metal into the cannon, followed by a coffee can filled with grey powder. He closes the back, and walks over to what appears to be the front of a Buick. "Hey, do me a favor and look down the sights on the barrel. When they line up with the group, give me a yell." He starts the engine, and begins to lower the barrel.

[Definitely Not Axe Hack]

"Right...You've been holed up in this bar alone for god knows how long with no source of outside news except for a radio...How do you even survive the loneliness? Well, let's see if I can bring you up to date. Do you know of the Big Bash? Well this here Bash is the Third Big Bash. Not quite as good as the first in my opinion, since the areas were quickly reclaimed, but still a force to be reckoned with."

Yuki stares down the barrel like Sarpek instructed. The small group enters the barrel sight.

"The kyonshi entered the barrel sight. What ne-"

But before Yuki can finish, the building shakes, tossing Yuki off her feet. An even larger group of zeds have started attacking the bar from the West.

"Ow," says Yuki as she peers over the roof on the west, "do you think the Bash saw the supply drop?"

[Sarpek]

"Yes, I think they did. Pull that lever there, and then cover your ears quick." Sarpek gestures to the triggering lever, and then heads for a large crate in a shed. "I think this might be a job for Vito's Behemoth, unless we can get some backup pronto..."

[Definitely Not Axe Hack]

Yuki pulls the lever. Or at least tries to. Her strength isn't enough to even make the lever move an inch.

"Ahhhhhhh...CRAP!"

Yuki looks at her fingernails.

"Aw...I broke a nail..."

The zeds outside are now ramming not only the front door barricades, but the barricades of the back door as well.

[Sarpek]

Sarpek hefts what appears to be a very large machine gun, with a large box at the side. A belt of shells leads into the gun. He drops the bipod onto the railing, and opens up into the zeds below. The high powered shells blowing away the group by the door, he switches to the other side, and begins firing into the crowd. He jerks his head at the rifle. "Use that! Box of shells in my pocket!"

[Definitely Not Axe Hack]

Yuki reaches into Sarpek's pockets and grabs something thinking it was the box of shells. She suddenly pulls her hand right out of Sarpek's pockets. She is shaking her hands as if she touched something gross. Her face is all red.

"Okay...I don't think that was the box of shells..."
