I'm a Cyborg's Pet

After getting back into Libery City I had fallen asleep out in the sick bay. When I came to it was morning, the sun was rising so I got out of the cot, then I quit the sick bay and walked towards the Liberty City wall. Liberty city it's self was pretty much quite with nearly everyone standing on the wall looking down. I climbed up the steps to join Loop looking out under the camouflage.

Beyond the walls were animal cyber Zombies standing around.

"What happened to the forest?" I asked.

Loop pointed there was an explosion as a zombie went up and hit a tree and in the process set of their mine killing themselves and blowing up the base of the tree. The tree fell over. There were a few trees left but now we stood with an open plane filled with zombies drifting around randomly stumbling.

It looked like there were millions of cyborg Zombies beyond the walls. Normally, at this point I would use my Americans at a U2 concert reference but a) after David Bowie & Lemmy from Motorhead, Bono may die on me and it wouldn't be funny and b) I used up my U2 reference the first chapter. Let's face the death of Alan Rickman struck us all, simultaneously putting end to any extended remix version  of Harry potter and more importantly a sequel to Galaxy Quest. Throwing any aged celebrity based references around now is just setting a ticking time bomb under everything. Be assured that anyone I refer to now is both both young, fit and last know to be in excellent health.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"We are surrounded, we can't get out, they can't get in. I think they are waiting for orders" said Loop. "It's the battle of Barden Barden all over again and your Stampy Cat*"

Near me there was a bull horn to shout orders to the people behind the wall I grabbed it and turn it to the Zombies.

"Hello, welcome to Maryland Deathfest, glad you could all make it here. We've got some great acts lined up for you today, but before I tell you about the wonderful line up would Mr and Mrs Jone please go to the hospitality tent to get reconnected with their son Billy. That's Mr and Mrs Jone please go to the hospitality tent to get reconnected with their son Billy" I shouted at the Zombies. The zombies kept milling around ignoring what I said.

"Thank you. you're a great crowd" I shouted.

I turned to Loop.

"What's the plan" I asked.

"Technically I ask you that question" said Loop.

"What on earth for?"

"Well technically Alpha failed, you killed the Alpha, and so your the new Alpha. We don't argue with our ways in a crisis." said Loop.

"You guys seriously need to work on your succession planning skills. So what's my plan Loop?" I said.

"Keep them on the other side of that wall, keep us on this side" said Loop.

"I like that plan. I like any plan you can write on a teeshirt in 190 point text and it stays legible" I said. Ok I was babbling but what can I say, I babble in life or death situations.

"Yo Alpha what's up" said Rodi to me. Yes they were serious about making me the leader.

"OK what do we have to work with? How many people do we have here?" I asked.

"1024 there about that can fight. About 300 Werewolf Marines the rest are military and free people and about 90 former slaves" said Rodi.

"Any cool weapons" I asked.

"Do you count rocks as cool weapons?" said Rodi.

"No" I said. 
"That's your answer then" said Rodi.
