We Can Never Leave Well Enough Alone

Janet, Charlie, Crichton, and Archie slipped out of the library. Liz was missing. They were going to find her, fast, and then they were going to get the hell back to the library.

"Zombies.. no. But I've seen plenty of movies. Combat situations? Yeah." Feels the heat of the moment and the impending threat and decides once and for all to give up on the classified crap. "I was a special ops soldier in a past life. I know my way around ground tactics. These guys are pretty slow moving, but they work like a pack from the look of it, so we've gotta watch ourselves and stay close."

Archie tightens his grip on his cutlass, comforted by the presence of a fellow serviceman despite the time gap between then. "Since my experience is primarily in boarding crews and laying ambushes, I'll defer to you then, sir," he says. His mind is in combat mode now, and the title slips from his mouth before he realizes it.

Kawalsky grins. "No one's called me 'sir' since I got here. We can do this. Janet's former military too, but a non-combatant. Medic. I'll take the lead, you cover the rear, okay?"

"Sorry. Force of habit -- sir."

Archie falls back to the rear of the group, his cutlass clenched tightly in his dominant hand. After a moment's thought, he switches the gun and cutlass, figuring he'd be better off holding the unfamiliar weapon in his stronger hand.

His eyes narrow. "Does it look to you like the dorms are untouched?"

Kawalsky murmurs his response. "Yeah." They head closer to the dorms. "It does." He doesn't know why, but the few zombies around haven't gone near the dorms. Kawalsky looks down the hill towards the town. It doesn't seem to be faring so well.
