I can't tell where they're coming from, but there are just more and more and they keep coming. I've seen at least one on every island and a bunch in housing. I'm not really happy about flying around there. There are probably more that I can't see, or that I mistook for living people, because it's barely light out.

So we have zombies. First things first: panic later. They don't feel pain or tire, but they don't think, and they can't use tools or run.

[Past this, each paragraph comes after a fresh pause of several minutes.]

If you're inside, don't open the door until you know one's not right outside. Really, don't. A house probably won't stay safe forever unless you board up the doors and windows real good, but then you might starve... Well I saw some people with weapons leading little bands to the elevator.

Go for the head! Don't bother with pressure points or nut shots. You have to dismember them or destroy the brain.

I don't know if they look like anyone you know, but even if they do, they're going to try to kill you. Zombies don't remember their lives. Don't go easy on one because it looks familiar. And if you're not inside, keep moving!

If you have to go off the edge of an island, then do it, and jump as far as you can. They can't jump as far. I'll catch you when I see you.

You can catch people in midair, Above-nushi? How many do you think you can carry?

"Nushi"?

It's not so much "carry" as "drag". Falling works different here. I haven't tried more than one.

Alright. If you're tired of reporting for us, find a safe spot, get to the Wilderness, or join them behind the barricade. Stay safe.

Thank you for what you did do. [And he means it. An eye from the sky is a good thing to have, since they can only see so much even from rooftops.]

No, I can keep at it if I have time to rest and eat. And I'm not much good when it's too dark to see.

There's a place I found on the tree where I don't think they can reach.

Alright, just so you're safe.

Why would they look like people we know?

That's usually how it goes. Friends or relatives get zombified, the protagonists are all oh-woe-I-can't-kill-them-but-I-must, drama.

So we should try to keep the people we know from being zombiefied. All right.

Yeah, don't get yourself bit, either.

I think I can manage that. Same to you.

I'm not terribly worried about that, but thanks all the same.
