Well, can't say much but I found this notebook by the old JURY Bunker. Today tons of shit happened, met some stranger named Josh, doesn't seem like much but I think he's alright. Got plenty of manners, but it's a good thing that I found him before anyone else did. I pointed him on the right direction, I hope. He doesn't seem like a cold murderer like a PACT Member, he's in no shape for that . We ran into a few problems though. Zombies, lots of them. Don't know why, but it seemed as if they were "migrating" so to speak. All that matters was that me and Joshua made it to the Inn, where some of my JURY friends were holding out. We managed to defend the Inn, I even had to save Josh's ass. He was hiding upstairs and all of a sudden Barnacles or what ever they're called them started appearing. One of them caught Josh on it's "line", so I used the new shotgun Alex gave me, and filled the bastard with some pieces of buckshot, it was all over then. Don't think we could hold out any longer, had only one shell left, and that one shell can make a difference. That sums up the day for me.

Today was rather eventful. I heard an Overwatch Hunter-Chopper. It was hovering around patrolling the Mountian pass. God I hope it didn't see anyone. The people in the Outlands are in no shape for an Overwatch Sweep. We got the PACT to worry about right now, and that seems like enough, but if Overwatch comes again? I don't think we would last long. Thats all I have so say now.

Not much happening right now. I'm writing this by the JURY Camp fire. Little bored but I can't say much. Its better than being hunted down by Overwatch, or chased by murderers. I've been sitting here all alone, thinking to myself what the Hell is next. I pray to God nothing will happen. I just want peace, thats all.

I got to go back to the JURY Bunker. Still a mess, but it sure is Hell of a lot cleaner than it was last time. Then we got our training. Boy that was easier than I expected. We learned quite a few basic attack and defense formations and such. We also learned a bit about first aid, but it still wasn't much. Just using plants to bandage wounds. Well now I wonder what they have next in store for us. We need more training in JURY, that's for sure though. Maybe some more physical activities, push-ups, sit-ups, the basics. We need to weed out the good soldiers from the bad ones though that just come in for a gun and leave.

Used my last shell today. It was a damn zombie. Don't know how, but the sneaky bastard managed to get in the bunker. Then it went and attacked me. Thank God others were there. If not I would have been a goner. So after they got it of me, I went for my shotgun. I finally shot it but it still wasn't over. I forgot to aim for the head and shot it in the chest. It still crawled after me, so the others pitched in and helped kill the thing. I was scratched up pretty bad though. Came too close to getting killed.

I let my guard down too low today. I was assulted by some arrogent man, and I soon was tied up since he stabbed me with a stick with something that made me feel woosy. then I fell over knocked out. Soon afterward I came through. Noticing I was tied up. I screamed in agony and anger. Hours later, I was untied, by this very strange and creepy woman. I was relieved when she united me, but then I saw that he took my radios and shotgun. That set me off. Those things don't grow on trees around here. Even later I caught him.So he soon pulled the alarm. Which set me off. Then chased him down to the Medical center. Then he escaped by jumping down the hole. He was with some other fella that tried to help me out, but their's this one thing I really don't want to talk about him. He soon was losing control. So I told him to stay in the lounge, he didn't and greeted me with the creepest thing I've ever seen.

Thank God things started to reel down. Maybe I'm just a fool though for actually believing such a thing. Not sure whats going to happen next, but I hope it has nothing to do with me getting killed. I remember the old days. Back when I used to live in safety, not under fear of death. The Combine take our resources, and demand obedience. Anyone who would even ask for change would get beaten or murdered. Thank God I'm not in the City anymore, I would have lost it by now. I'm not sure if I'm going to hold up as well as I think. JURY might be the only think keeping me sane.

I almost had a heart attack today. i was just hanging around in the inn. Then all of a sudden I heard some strange noise, then it stopped. I don't know what the hell it was but I yelled for them to show them self. All that I got for a reply was a loud shriek. God knows what the Hell that was but I just ran like Hell. I know a coward would do that but I didn't want another fight with a fast zombie. I hid in the inn's garage, I then just locked my self in there and now I've picked up on my journal.

I saved someone's life yesterday. He would have been eaten if I haven't saved him. It was a cannable. She tried to kill the man, I walked into the Inn and saw the whole thing. So I ran in and smashed my shotgun into her face. It threw the cannable off balance, so then she just ran off. I've got a bad feeling about what might happen next, and it doesn't seem pretty.

My goodness so much happened. Almost too much. Today I overheard several gunshots near the town. I soon found out this was a firefight. As soon as heard the shots I ran for the Inn. Soon afterwards I met a man named Alex. He seemed to be alright. Not long after I learned about the death of Len, and the destruction of the PACT. Then came the unthinkable, I was attacked. It was her, the cannibal. With some help I managed to beat the crap right outta her. Just to make sure she wouldn't hurt anyone else. I afterwards dragged her to the cell in the basement, she seemingly learned right after what was happening, and fell silent. That was it for the day.

Overwatch poked it's head around a few times. I managed to avoid them. Then, I got pinned down by a few Helicopters and a sniper. How I got to live I don't know. Zombies showed up also, almost getting killed again. I changed though today. I had to do something extreme though. I killed somebody, ended his life. He was a bandit, tried to rob someone with his Sub Machine Gun. He would done this to someone else, I had to. I shot him with my shotgun, but he would not die. Why. He begged for me not to kill him, but he brought this onto himself. He might have killed someone in the process.I finished him off though with my Combat Knife, I slit his throat, his blood was all over me. I finished up by burying him and I left a note.

I got lucky today. I don't know how but I found some boxes of pistol ammo around the pass while I went scrapping. I can't believe it though. It's almost too hard to believe. Not to mention that my USP can use it. I'm not wasting any of this I went through enough to get it. I might keep it myself or trade some for SMG ammo.
