==Plot Elements==
#The story is told as a bedtime story being told by Marcus to an orphan. On the island of Jakobs Cove, Dr. Ned (NOT Dr. Zed from the previous story) accidentally caused a zombie outbreak. The VH1s arrive and the Claptrap asks them to turn on the Gattling Turrets to clear out the zombies.
#Once the zombies are killed, Claptrap directs the VH1s to Ned's Bleeding Heart Infirmary. The VH1s arrive, only to discover that Dr. Ned is not there.
#Markus asks the VH1s to deliver him 25 corpse eater eggs and rewards them with a class mod: 
#*Roland:
#*Lilith: Plaguebearer Class Mod
#*Mordecai:
#*Brick: Skirmisher Class Mod
#Tannis asks the VH1s to kill Pumpkinhead at Hallow's End.
#Anna Reiss asks the VH1s to find the whereabouts of her missing husband Hank; the VH1s learn about Hank's disappearance via ECHO recordings:
#*"Dearest Anna. I've arrived at Jakobs Cove and you'll be pleased to know it seems a jolly and lively old town. I know being away from you and the children will be difficult but it's only for a few cycles. The pay is just too generous to pass up. I'll work hard here and be back to you and the girls soon. My brother will take good care of you in the meantime. Love, Hank."
#*"Dearest Anna. The work here is tough but honest. Oh, and the trees, Anna, the trees are amazing. You wouldn't believe your eyes. I've never seen anything like them. Sometimes I feel sad to cut them down, but it will all be worth it if I can get back to you with the money required for us have a fresh start. I'm dreaming about a nice homestead in the Dahl Headland. Think on it. Missing you, Hank. ... P.S. Tell Sally that I love the hat she sent. I wear it every day. The men tease me a bit but they don't know the joy that a child's love can bring."
#*"Dearest Anna. I have been noticing some strange things at the mill of late. Many workers seem to be falling very ill. What is strange is that we all had our check-ups just last week and were given a clean bill of health and a vitamin from the company's physician, Dr. Ned. He is doing everything in his power but there have been some deaths. Do not worry. I will, as always, be careful. I will send an ECHO again soon. All my love, Hank."
#*"Anna. Things have gone from bad to worse. There have been rumors of people seeing the dead walk. At first these tales were laughed off at the saloon, but now people talk in the hush whispers of the truth. They say those who come in contact with the dead are always the first to be ill and are, as such, the first to seek the help of Dr. Ned. The doctor assures me that he is making progress on a cure. I, for one, believe him and it is only 3 more weeks till we are reunited. Kiss the girls for me. Love, Hank."
#*"Beloved Anna. It is no longer rumors. Some curse has been set upon us here at Jakobs Cove. The dead are rising from their graves and are ravenous with a hunger for flesh. All work has stopped and we are fighting for our lives. But fear not. Dr. Ned believes there is a way to stop the horror. I have volunteered to allow him to test an antidote on me. It's the skags my dear. The filthy skags will be our salvation! The doctor says they are immune to the ailment. I am presently on my way to get this treatment at the hospital outside of town. I know it will be a success and we will be together again shortly. Pray for me, Hank."
#The VH1s discover T.K. Baha's prosthetic leg outside by a Fyrestone house at Hallow's End, finding a zombified T.K. inside.
#T.K. demands some zombie brains, so the VH1s feed him ten, causing him to vomit out a TMP2 Static Fury.
#T.K. demands more zombie brains, so the VH1s feed him 25, causing him to vomit out a TMP2 Static Fury.
#T.K. demands even more zombie brains, so the VH1s feed him fifty, causing him to vomit out an RV11 Surplus Revolver.
#T.K. demands a lot more zombie brains, so the VH1s feed him a hundred, causing him to vomit out a DL300 Brutal Revolver.
#T.K. demands a a huge load of zombie brains, so the VH1s feed him 250, causing him to vomit out a Warmonger Class Mod.
#The VH1s discover a note on the front door of Ned's Bleeding Heart Infirmary, saying that Dr. Ned is at his hospital in Hallow's End.
#The VH1s investigate the disappearance of Father Jackie O'Callahan, a lone zealot who attempted to stop the creation of zombies at the Mill; O'Callahan's fate is revealed via ECHO recordings found at Generally Hospital:
#*Clue: "Oh, boy-o! The Angel give me strength! I've been demon smiting for nary on a fortnight. Still no sign from the maker of an end to this unholy ordeal. As if those who have passed coming back to life is not evil enough, I have learned of some new kind of abomination near the hospital on the hill. I fear I have another crime against nature whose arse must be kicked! And it will be me, or my name isn't Father Jackie O'Cahallan!"
#*Zealot: "The night air is as chill as a she-skag's teat on a winter's morn, but it does not dampen my resolve. I've found strength in prayer, and what little whiskey I have remaining in my flask. Ah. The monster of the hospital... his arse proved to be harder to kick than the rest of this rabble. He nicked me in the neck... boy-o... starting to feel strange. Hopefully, I'll last the night. At least there is a full moon to keep me company..."
#The VH1s investigate the disappearance of four more people hired by Jakobs to stop the zombie outbreak; their fates are revealed via ECHO recordings:
#*Moron (Joe Gamerski): "Son-of-a-bitch! This frickin 'Digital Bearing Module' is terrible! The waypoint is constantly trying to send me through a mountain! What am I supposed to do, go through it? Is there some secret passage? Hoo! Ha! ... No... can't jump over it. Damn it! (Snarling noises) What? (Additional undead snarling) Wait! I hate you, digital bearing module!"
#*Newb (Harry):
#**1. "Like, whoa, Skaggy. You wouldn't believe what happened to me. The Misery Machine broke down. Like, I know, that's not news, but I found this town and there's, like, no one there. I finally ran into an old doctor who said there was... hee hee... zombies throughout the haunted forest! He seems like a nice old man so I thought I'd help him out. Who needs the rest of the gang, right?"
#**2. "Ok, so, like, you know how the ghost always turns out to be some old guy with a mask on? I don't think these zombies are wearing masks! So, I've been doing what you and I do best Skaggy, hiding. Zoinks! I think I hear something. Like, I better sign off. Don't worry about me old pal, they never think to look in a barrel, right?"
#*Wuss (Dirk Smallwood): "Dirk Smallwood here. The Jakobs corporation has asked me, the world famous vault hunter, to stop the minor zombie infestation here in Jakobs Cove. While this job is well beneath a man of my reputation Daddy needs a new Cheetah Paw. My plan of attack is to hit these bastards where it hurts them most: In their no-longer-beating-and-in-no-way-responsible-for-their-ability-to-survive-heart. What time is it? 8 o'clock? Swell, there should be no problem getting this dealt with before my mani and pedi at 9."
#*Chump (Jethro Shedd): 
#**1. "Zombie killin'. This is new and different. Steve and I have hunted a lotta things: Skag, crab worms, even went after Mothrakk once. These brain suckers are pretty freaky, but they're not so tough. Still, I'm happy my best pal Steve is with me. Steve! There's one behind you! ... (Heyoo!) The forest is teeming with these zombie buggers, but so far, so good. Still, we gotta find this doc if we're gonna get our reward."
#**2. "Oh my god. Steve is dead! I can't believe he's gone. I really miss him. I can almost hear him... 'Hey oh!' What's that? Oh! Oh my Angel! Steve! Hey man! I thought you was dead! What's that? Oh. You want a hug? Me too man. Come here! I love you ma-Ah! AH!"
#Once the VH1s arrive at Ned's hospital, Dr. Ned asks them to deliver a possible antidote from Generally Hospital to Ned's Claptrap. At Generally Hospital, they kill the wereskag Hank Reiss. Once they recover the antidote, they return to Jakobs Cove, only to discover Dr. Ned's Claptrap tied-up and hacked, warning them not to trust Dr. Ned.
#"Hyper-Temps" asks the VH1s to find the whereabouts of Hyperion Industrial employees Frank Igorski and Bill at Dead Haven. After finding two of Dr. Ned's ECHO recordings, they discover that Frank and Bill have been transformed into Franken Bill and kill it:
#*"I've found that despite his infernal popcorn habit, I kind of miss Bill. Frank, the temp that replaced him, just wasn't the same, and definitely had too small a hunchback to suit my taste in assistants. Yeah, he was no Bill. Yep, he was no Bill. Man, I really wish Bill hadn't been all masticated by that zombie. Actually, I got an idea. I still have some body parts around here from Frank... maybe there's something I can do..."
#*"Ha! Who's the best evil mad scientist? That's right. It's me, Dr. Ned. That's with an 'N', not a 'Z'. I have created a new Bill. I didn't have time to put him together in a smart and safe way, I just had to try and cram some new pieces, fixes, and patches on to the old Bill. So, it turned out that he's not really Bill or Frank. He's more of a... Frank'n'bill. It's a bit of a hack, but it seems to work, so I say, 'ship it'!"
#Discovering that the recovered antidote turns humans into wereskags, Dr. Ned asks the VH1 to kill four wereskags—Whiskey Wesley, Bigfoot, Redjack, and Jackie O'Callahan—across the coastline of Generally Hospital.
#Taking a boat to Dead Haven, the VH1s discover an ECHO recording in Dr. Ned's secret lab that reveals his true intentions: "Oooof. Okay, this is gonna be hard to say. So... one of my reanimated corpses sorta ate Bill today, and by 'sorta', I mean 'is now crapping his bones in the yard.' The good news is he has already paid me rent, and now I don't have to listen to him bitch about toenail clippings that totally weren't even mine. Not to mention the popcorn shenanigans. Consider this my solemn promise to begin attempting evil for the sake of profit from this point on. My brother, who isn't even the same person as me in disguise, would never support me in this. I hope no one ever finds these logs and incriminates me to my employer, Jakobs, because that would probably set off a whole chain of events where I have to try and kill them with my horrific creations. Oh well."
#Finding two more ECHO recordings as evidence, the VH1s send the ECHO recordings via comm array to Jakobs:
#*"This is the first official entry of my, Dr. Ned's, scientific discovery journal. My ongoing mission to extend the lives of those that have already passed. We must remain vigilant in our – Bill. Bill! Are you making popcorn? What did we talk about? Dude, we just talked about this! ... Where was I? Saving the human race from the stale clenches of death? Sounds like a kickin' party? Is that how the kids are saying it? Kickin'? Here ends my first official journal entry."
#*"Greetings loyal Nedcast viewership. Now in the third week of my clinical trials with corpse reanimation. The skin cells have reacted well to the treatment but the bodies themselves seem to have uncontrollable hunger. Right now, it seems all they crave is raisins and bran muffins, but I fear with strength applied to the cell reanimation their hunger will grow much stronger and possibly dangerous. Fear not, I will trudge forward unhindered by the possible destruction of mankind. Am I mad? Probably, but at least I DON'T MAKE POPCORN WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WORK!"
#The VH1s repair a defunct Jakobs-owned gun vending machine at Jakobs Cove with a missing Power Coupling.
#Jakobs returns the VH1s to Jakobs Cove, where their Claptrap terminates Dr. Ned's.
#Jakobs hires the VH1s to kill Dr. Ned at the Lumber Yard; the Jakobs Claptrap gives them a switch needed to lower the bridge to the Mill where Dr. Ned is hiding.
#The VH1s find and repair a defunct Claptrap in the Lumber Yard; as gratitude, it carves a log into a red chest.
#The VH1s kill Dr. Ned, but he transforms into Undead Ned.
#The VH1s kill Undead Ned, ending the zombie outbreak.
