	This had quite possibly been the worst, most traumatic day in Ash's life, with the possible exception of the day his father's distillery, along with half the town of Esmont, Virginia, fell to a horde. Almost his entire family had been lost that day - killed or missing and presumed dead, along with most everyone that he had grown up with. Of course, one can't really put all of that horror into a single day. It had been a siege. A long, long siege. The "day" was actually the end of that siege, when some scared, hungry asshat thought he saw an opening and screwed [i]everyone[/i] over. There was the slightest hope that one day the town of his upbringing could be rebuilt, the homes and farms restored, [u]Newnan[/u] was an utterly destroyed place; literally a smoking crater in the earth and the final resting place of many of those he had come to regard as family. 

	There were four people he could help now. If was a far cry from what he wanted, but it was something. Not only that, but unless the Hell that was Newnan held the horde's attention, and raptly, there was a good chance that this horde was going to roll over the safehouse south of them, too. This realization hit him the second that he fired up the 'Buster. He could live with only helping four. But he could live better if he helped a few more. Ash pulled his highly modified roadbeast left onto Main Street, heading South onto Main Street. He looked to Tiffany, sitting next to him in the passenger's seat. [color=steelblue]"I'm making for the Moreland Safehouse. We have to get back to 27, but it's got to be [i]south[/i] of Newnan. Need you to navigate, Tiff."[/color] 

	It was only a couple blocks up, conditions permitting, before he intended to change direction again. This was not a trip he wanted to take until morning for purposes of safety. That plan got destroyed as completely as their home did, just that morning. Well, silver lining to this clusterfuck of a day, if they were correct about Tatiana's whereabouts, the newly married couple would be reunited sooner than expected. [color=steelblue]"If you've got a map too, Jack, I need you to back her up. We're going to go get Tati."[/color]

	This was getting creepy. Things had become more quiet than a standard firefight was supposed to be, and according to every single action or horror movie that Thalia had seen, [i]ever[/i], this was traditionally the point in time when something terrifying and awful happened. The monster jumped out of the closet, the bad guys show up where they had not been just a moment before, or the floor opens up like a giant trapdoor, depositing them into some noxious substance and/or holding cell. 

	Briefly, Thalia wondered if it was a great idea to have their people so spread out. Part of her wanted to hold up for a moment or three and make sure that the others could keep up, but the majority of her psyche was screaming at her to finish this bullshit before the bad guys regrouped or they fully lost the light. If they were nearing the end of the unexplored territory inside of the Eden complex, then there were just a few more people that had to die. Hopefully, it wouldn't be them. Thalia told her self that this last piece was just a matter of clearing rooms, one after the other. Just like downstairs, except the element of pant-soiling surprise wasn't with them anymore. She was a fighter, not a soldier. There was a difference. But they couldn't just stop now. 

	There was a door coming up on Thalia's right. Good enough place as any to start. She burst through, gun leading the way. Check doors, clear rooms. Kill anything moving. Finish this.
