I went back inside and decided to radio Gary on the frequency he had given me. I was ordered to check in every morning so they knew whether or not I was still alive. So, I sat down and entered the frequency. After hitting the call button, I heard ringing sounds like a phone on the line, and figured Gary must have this frequency synced to his phone. Then I heard Gary's voice. "Hey, how you holding up?"

I told him about my run in with two of the infected and he said, "Well, that's odd. I suppose they must have been on patrol and seen your parachute coming down. I wouldn't worry about any more though. So, you going to hit the first town today?"

I answered an affirmative and he gave me a long winded reminder that I was to look for survivors and learn as much about the infection as possible and report it to him tomorrow morning. The other days were the same drill as well. There were about seven different areas to visit, and I should hit one at least every couple of days. I would also record all of my findings in a journal that I told him I had actually found when I sat on it to call him. Then we said our goodbyes and broke the connection.

A few minutes later and I have my gear on and I'm heading toward the first town...
