==Synopsis==
Tracking a lead leads to an unusual discovery.
==Episode==
We open with an aerial shot that moves unnaturally fast across the landscape; to fast and, to uniform to be anything alive and followed by a soft hum. We quickly realise it must be a drone of some sort. Following its view we see a car park and what was once an outlet mall before things went to hell. Its still standing and might be any old abandoned building.
Almost.
Henderson v.o: Switch to Thermal's.
The view on the drone changes and we see see the building light up in a bloom of heat revealing that something is indeed there.
Henderson v.o: Are the teams in position?
Soldier 1 v.o: Affirmative.
Henderson v.o: Send them in.
Soldier 1 v.o: Red team proceed.
We see a team of soldiers camped out in the woods near the car park of the mall. Their leader is holding up a radio.
Soldier leader: Understood.
He gives the single and the soldiers head in. What follows is a montage of the soldiers going through the mall, disabling traps, exploring and finally reaching the room with the heat source. The door in knocked open and we flip back to the control room and Henderson's unseen view of what is inside. 
Henderson: What the hell?
Soldier Leader v.o: Sir?
Henderson: Secure and contain everything and bring it back to the city asap.
Soldier Lear v.o: Understood.
Henderson: Well this got a lot more complicated.
He rubs his hands through his hair; its clear he has not been sleeping well.
Henderson: This is going to make an interesting meeting.
We switch over to a corridor a few hours later with Moe, Adam and Slade walking down it along with Henderson, and a few scientists and soldier types.
Slade: You know if you wanted a chat you could have just dropped by our place, no need to drag us into the office.
Henderson says nothing.
Slade: Seriously, we could play cards, have some beers...
Moe gives him a look and he quiets down has they walk into a nerve centre of the place. It looks like a cross between a wet lab and a NASA control room. A few note their arrival but most are busy with their work around one table and watching a camera feed of a sealed lab somewhere else in the city. We cant make out just yet what is being examined but by the look of the people in protective gear its nothing good.
Adam: Is that hazmat gear?
Henderson: Yep, look around long enough and you will find just about anything; especially when the infection started.
Moe: Hospitals thought it was airborne in the early days.
Henderson: Yep, back before we knew any better, all it real did was give walkers something different to chew on.
Slade: So what are they using it for now.
Henderson indicates they follow and leads them to a free table to sit and talk. Everyone gets settled down before the man begins.
Henderson: Following the intel you recovered from the observatory we sent teams out to various locations to scout the areas, recover intel, track movements, that sort of thing.
He pulls out a folder and passes it around and we see pictures of various finding; a school, which has been converted into a holding area for planes and trucks, the observatory from the previous episode, a listening post in an arcade and so on. Its clear that not only are these people organised but this was a situation long in the making.
Adam: Well looks like their organised.
Moe: Patient would be the appropriate word.
Slade: Patient nothing; how the fuck did they swing all this when the world was coming apart at the seams. 
Moe: Same way its always handled things, the cold.
Henderson: Makes sense, if these people are from that far north it would just be a case of waiting things out.
Slade: I guess but, walker don't slow down for much and don't let cold and fire stop em.
Moe: Anything will stop once its cold enough and lacks proper insulation.
Slade: Frozen walker fish in a barrel, now that would have been something to see.... still why do i get the feeling that isn't what we are here to talk about.
He jerks his head in the direction of the screen and Henderson nods.
Henderson: When we went to the latest location; a mall we found a... testing area of sorts.
Moe: What kind of testing?
Henderson: The unpleasant kind.
He pulls out another folder and slides it over, we don't see the photos this time but, its clear from the looks on the three's faces its nothing good. 
Adam: Fuck, not this again.
Slade: How many....
Henderson: Six, corpses and seven shambles strapped to beds but that was only half the problem.
We are now shown what is being analysed on the video; it looks like a home made misile or bomb. The housing has been taken off and we can the various inner workings.
Henderson: Experts reckon there was enough boom in there to take out the building but, that was only the start of it.
We watch with them has a fist sized glass orb is removed carefully and placed in a secure box. Inside the orb is a clear liquid of some sort.
Slade: Please tell me that is just acid.
Henderson: It can be cheap perfume for all i care but, i would rather not find out.
Moe looks thoughtful and concerned; they knew for awhile that this group had been trying to do something with the walker virus. What they see before them is painting an ugly picture.
Moe: Was the device armed when you men arrived?
The other two look at him before seeing where he is coming from.
Slade: Moe... i mean we speculated about this but.... it dosent make sense... everyone has it all ready so why not just bomb a place and clean up the walkers.
Adam: Or stop it like that cook dock was implying?
Moe: It dosent matter now, what matters is the implications of this weapon... why didnt it go off when you arrived?
Henderson: Luck, dodgy signal but we have a bigger problem.
Slade: Bigger than weaponised walkers bombs?
Moe: Think about it... where there is one weapon... there are bound to be more.
Henderson nods and everyone looks worried; an unseen clock now hanging over all their heads. Adam has allready gotten up to join the technicians on another table. We zoom in on Moe's face has he watches the screen with a grim expression. Things have become very serious now,
Fade to black
