Parnell Air National Guard Base, Tennessee, Christina Eliopolis
She began telling me her frustrations with the air force because what they were trained to do was not valuable. The only thing they were supposed to do is fly supplies to citizens, facilities, etc. During one trip, she had to go to the bathroom and the plane malfunctioned and started to nose dive to the ground. When she got out of the bathroom, she flew out of the back end of the plane and opened her parachute. There was no signal on her radio, and she saw only one other parachute. When she landed she found her co pilot being devoured by five zombies and blew them to bits. She got mad at her self for messing up and thinking the crash was her fault. Her radio signaled eventually from a woman sky watcher known as "Mets". She was told to meet up at the highway and avoid the streets. Christina foolishly looked for supplies and ended up battling sixty-one zombies. She had to camp on a hammock on a tree. When she woke up, there was at least 100 more below her. The sky watcher guided her to jump and make a run the pickup. She badly her ankle on the jump, but the watcher pushed her through everything. She got picked up after firing her flare. It turns out that there was no sky watcher "Mets", and the pick up plane was a random civilian helicopter that saw her flare. Christina was tested for a psych evaluation and she still claims that the watcher was real. I don't think Christina should think that the plane crash was her fault. It was a malfunction and there was nothing she could do about it. I think she is a brave true pilot who cares about this country very much. She gave me very detailed answers and I enjoyed this coversation with Christina Eliopolis.

Sand Lakes Provincial Wilderness Park, Manitoba, Canada, Jesika Hendriks
Today I met Jesika Hendriks in a frozen Canadian wasteland. She is currently one of the volunteers in the Wilderness Restoration Project. She started off telling me after the great panic occurred with her family when she was younger. Her Dad was making her family move north because the zombies freeze in really cold weather. They packed a lot of food and everything they needed to survive. As they drove they saw many hitchhikers. They didn't pick up any but one innocent looking, elderly lady. They drove with her, and eventually realized that she had some type of bandage on her hand. They got rid of her before she infected them all. They worked together with people to hunt foods at designated areas. Once the zombies froze, they had trouble surviving in the winter. They ran out of food, they were all very thin, and her parents fought a lot. Eventually, violence broke out between the campers, and no one trusted each other. When it ended, people had to walk back because everyone ran out of gas. Millions of people died that winter, and she was very lucky to live. At the end, she made a good point about zombies: How could they survive after they are frozen because the cold would cause they're cells to burst? I've been thinking about this all night and I'm going to research it later. She must have had a very diffucult time up North, but in all, I had a very informational interview with her.

Robben Island, Cape Town Province, United States of Southern Africa, Xolelwa Azania
I am now coming to a point in my assignment from the UN to interview on how humanity came back from The Zombie Disease. Earlier this morning, I interviewed Xolelwa Azania whose office was a bit of a mess. He didn't tell me much about himself but about a man named Paul Redeker. I learned how heartless the man's views were. He was said to be a racist, apartheid that believed humans' flaw is emotion. Ever since 1948, "Plan Orange", a plan originated by the apartheid government has been dealing with a rising population. It has never worked well until Paul stepped in. In 1984, he edited this plan, but some would have to sacrifice. In his version of "Orange" he wanted to protect everyone, which would require to use all their resources. That is why people would have to be sacrificed, and why most of the African people hate him. Many years later, four NIA soldiers came into his house and brought him to the president to present his idea on how to defend the outbreak. His plan was to use civilians to bait zombies so the army could safely build a safe zone. This infuriated the president and asked why Paul was brought here. Actually, an elder man named Rolihlahla asked for him. Paul Redeker was never seen again; Although, his plan was executed through the country. Azania stepped in and then he aided South Africa with his knowledge how to solve the problem. I learned from Xolelwa that Paul was, in fact, a mental patient. I think the president may have put him through something for this to happen, or he went insane with all the zombies roaming and killing everyone. I agree with Azania that Paul was a dispassionate person who should not be favored. I do wish that he told me more about his own life though. I did learn a lot about the outbreak in Africa though.

Langley, Virginia, USA, Bob Archer
Earlier today I finished an interview with the CIA director of the United States, Bob Archer. I could tell from the interview that he truly cared about his country and wanted to protect and serve it. He also seemed frustrated with the criticism of the CIA, which I will get to later. He began telling me that the CIA is different than the stereotypical thought of what they actually do. This stereotypical thought is that they know of most of the threats going against the US and that they were behind most of the killings of high officers. He told me that they only focus on possible dangers that are clear and present, and plus they wouldn't have the money to do that either. He then started to tell me about how the Chinese hid the outbreak of the disease. The Chinese started war threats, the assassination of the PRC defense minister, and crackdowns. These were started just to distract from what was actually was happening and it worked. Everyone blamed the CIA for not knowing what was going on and the disease. Many people left the CIA, and the only people that were left were slouchers, and people who really cared about the US. He tried to inform his coworkers to look into, but it just never got done. I think it was not his fault because the Chinese created a good distraction from what was happening to know what was going on. He said before that the CIA only looks at the present possible dangers, and he's not going to notice the disease when all these threats and killing is going on. All the dead people there was explained by all the issues going on in China. In all, I learned a lot about what the CIA is all about and how the Chinese distracted their disease. That's it for my interview with Bob Archer.

Bethlehem, Palestine, Saladin Kader
I just came home from a quite long interview with a man named Saladin. He grew up in Kuwait City, Palestine. For many decades Palestine and Israel have fought over the Holy Land. He is a true Palestinian who seems quite senseless and rude. His Dad was making his family move to Israel because it provided shelter from "African Rabies". Saladin was very unthinking and did not believe this crazy story. He believed the Jews were recruiting more people so they would have a bigger population in case of an attack. He foolishly told his Dad that he was staying. He was forced to go and it took a lot of time to finally be checked and enter through the border. When they got there, there was a civil was between the citizens and the Israeli Defense Force. They luckily got out of that situation safely. What actually was causing this was an outbreak in Israel!

Lhasa, The People's Republic of Tibet, Nury Televaldi
Today, I had a detailed interview with a man from Central Asia. He was a shetou, someone who would smuggle to refugees. I asked him if the government was trying to shut him down. I wish he gave me a more detailed answer on this question, but I had a lot of questions that I was planning to ask so I didn't. He told me an interesting story where an infected man came to Europe looking for a cure in the West. He actually died at a hotel one day and is believed to cause the outbreak in Europe. He informed me that it is safe to hide in "ghetto" areas because no outbreaks occur there. Teveldi's job as a shetou was actually pretty dangerous. He saw many infected as time went on and risked getting infected himself. Also, he could get in trouble with the goverment and get executed. In all, though I got a better understanding of what it was like in Central Asia during the Zombie War.
