There's not really any way to say this without raising alarm, but for those of you who may have recently arrived, or hadn't heard yet, there was a Walker found in the woods last week. So far, it has been an isolated sighting, but as Arthur has previously stated, we have no way of knowing what else is out there, outside the barrier. Given the fact that our hosts have actually provided us all with zombie handbooks, I believe we need to be prepared for the probability that there will be more. Anyone who has experience with weapons, and is willing to train those who do not, your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term "Walker," I'm referring here to walking corpses, or zombies as they would most commonly be called. Not the giant mechanical camels from Star Wars. I've heard a few other names for them, but in my experience, Walkers are easily identifiable by their shambling gate, their lack of human speech, their rotten stench, and their mindless lust for raw flesh. If you see one, do not let it get close enough to bite or scratch you, or you may become infected and turn into one of them. Where Daryl and I are from, the walking death is cause by an ideological pathogen, and there is no known cure. The only way to kill a Walker permanently is to destroy the brain.
I would ask that everyone stay indoors after dark, and keep your houses or apartments secure. Oh, and disregard my previous warning about not spooking the locals. If we can convince them that this real and present danger, maybe we can save a few of their lives.
