Solana had taken off running before anyone could respond to her ultimatum. She didn't plan to make it easy for any of them to make it back to her ship, if they wanted to ride with her they had to prove they deserved it, like she had to prove she deserved to ride with her mentor daily the last twenty-five years of training. She planned a winding, weaving route back to her ship. Of course she will modify based on the threat level present as they go.

She came to a halt. She turned to everyone and motioned for silence and to hide. The roof was built that if you knelt you couldn't be seen. There was a group of zombies on the next roof, she wanted to watch them, to study them.

She stuck her up just enough to watch. They were just shambling about on the rooftop aimlessly. She grabbed a piece of broken roofing material and threw it at a taller building and broke a window. The zombies went after the noise like moths to the flame. "Basic animal instincts."
