Before dawn this morning I'm out trackin game, and something grabs my attention. Strong wind blowin up from the southwest- heavy with the scent of blood. Not undead, not animal. Human. Fresh. So I investigate. It's easy enough to follow. I'm thinkin maybe a stronghold or a caravan went under. But the closer I get, I ain't getting a strong scent of Zeds. In fact, there aren't many of them around at all. I follow it for a few more klicks, when the scent just goes. Doesn't end. Don't lose it. It's gone. Like it was never there. That doesn't happen.
So here I am waitin all day for it to be all over the Network. Strength of the scent means at least six people are dead- minimum. That's gotta make waves. Instead nothin. Somebody knows something. If I don't get some answers sharpish, I'll head back out there and find some of my own. And I won't be askin nicely.
