The Report.

I have now completely read through the report obtained from the facility. I couldn't understand all of he scientific information but I understood enough to know what happened.

Three months before the outbreak in Los Angeles the United States Department of Defense had made a discovery in a cave deep in the mountains of Afghanistan. On a routine raid of a cave thought to be a hiding place of insurgents a team of soldiers encountered a group of unarmed men. They were stumbling about and appeared to be eating raw animal flesh of some sort. Upon spotting the soldiers the men turned their attention away from what they were eating and began advancing on the soldiers while moaning incessantly. The soldiers fired upon the men but the rounds seemed to have little to no effect. The advance continued until one of the soldiers was set upon by several of the assailants. They immediately began consuming the soldier. In the ensuing chaos one of the soldiers discovered that shoots to the head were a sure way to put the assailants down. After a fast and bloody encounter the soldiers retrieved the lifeless body of their fallen comrade and they began the trek back to base. At the halfway mark of the march the lifeless soldier began to move in his body bag. The soldiers having seen what they had just seen were careful to restrain the body before opening the bag. When they opened the bag the soldier inside was moaning the same moan as the men in the cave. The verified by his pulse that he was indeed dead. Restraining him thoroughly they hoofed it back to base where they reported their findings.

The next morning they along with their lifeless companion were airlifted back to a lab outside of Los Angeles. The fallen soldier was recorded as Patient Zero. From that point on the team that brought in Patient Zero was assigned to the research facility as subjects and guards. From there it goes on to detail experimentation with patients one through nineteen. Some of these subjects were animals some were people. Most of them were just exposed to Patient Zero by proximity. Some of the animals were injected with fluids from Patient Zero but showed no symptoms or reaction that would correlate to Patient Zero's condition. The experimentation went on for nearly three months.

Then it got interesting. Apparently many of the research staff lived in the Los Angeles area. After a weekend off one of the lead scientists returned to the lab early on Monday morning. She discovered blood soaked rags in a co-workers trash can. That worker had been tasked with drawing blood and saliva samples the Friday before. Reviewing the security footage the lead researcher discovered that the worker had been bitten on the shoulder while collecting the samples. Reviewing the incident report from the soldiers at the cave she became, as the document put it, "very concerned". She immediately tried contacting him at home but received no answer. After spending the rest of that day and half of the next trying to get authorization to go into city limits with a containment team she received confirmation that here request had been granted. The lab worker became Patient 20. The soldiers from the cave were tasked with guarding the lab while a special containment team was flown in. The containment team went in only to discover that the "infection" had already begun spreading. They quarantined neighborhoods but no matter how they tried it always seemed to slip beyond there barriers. The last entry in the file is from the lead researcher. She reports going back to the lab to collect equipment to relocate to the facility that I have reported on. When she arrived at the lab the team of soldiers from the cave were A.W.O.L. and patient zero had been executed with a single round to the head.

That's all the information that was not to technical for me to report. It's unsettling to think that this was all brought to our shores by our own government. We are going to go on the move now so it may be a while before my next entry. I hope this information can help all of you in some way.
