## Synopsis

Mr. Q has revealed something remarkable to Bill. The Biker is not impressed, though he is interested and inspects it further before deciding to keep it under wraps and head out to get the weapon instead. The Nox party are on a boat. Everyone is doing there own thing and August asks Julius exactly where they’re going. He doesn’t get a direct response but does confirm it is an island. He heads below deck to get any information about the vessel. Wild Bill and the others get to where Q abandoned the weapon and it has a small handful of Zeds around it. Bill decides to take them on by himself with his trusty bat. He is bit almost immediately. The others jump out to help and Bill is furious that they didn’t help sooner, even though he specifically said he’d handle it. They get him into the truck and head back to the outpost, abandoning the weapon once again. Now unguarded.

Star is attempting to relax on the deck, looking out onto the arctic sea. However, Lexi and the Varces are being obnoxious with their “jazzercise”. She almost gets heated but Scarab calms her down and brings her below to speak with August. He is also not a fan of the noise but they are interrupted by Julius using the speaker to shout at an oncoming boat. Bill is brought back to the fort and it is actually Tree who is able to cut out and maintain the wound. He is safe but will still go through the fever. Something he’s gone through a few times already. August, Star, and Scarab come back up to see a small boat heading directly towards them. Julius changes course but the other boat is still charging. As it gets closer, they see that the man on the wheel is slumped over and dead and the boat is actually being pushed by a Zedded Narwhal that is stuck to it. August shoots the engine, killing the Beast and quickly jumping aboard to get any info. He discovers the man was a member of a company called A.E.D. and Julius confirms that’s where Fletcher is assumed to be. So, they follow the course that boat came from and continue, almost to their target.

Wild Bill has barricaded himself in his room, well aware of what is going to happen. The hallucinations begin.

*Bill is laying in bed when he hears screaming and banging from the other side of the door. He approaches and exits the room, following Tree to the others in the trench. It is the other members of the Relics. They are led by Sergeant Gregory. Bill challenges his authority and runs off into the battle, Little Clarence briefly referring to him as “Wild Bill”. He finds a small shack and enters. Inside he finds a much more erratic August in there. Only this time, they’re allies. They fight their way through the horde of now Zedded soldiers and return to the trench where Bill immediately barrels into Gregory and tosses him to the ground. Gregory turns to a metallic goo and shifts to behind Bill where August interferes and knocks Gregory to the wall. August Unloads into the Sergeant. Gregory mentions to Bill that this is exactly why he keeps them separated.*

 Bill wakes up, the fever has subsided. Bill leaves his room and is approached by an agent who informs him that someone has arrived and is in the interrogation room. It is Travis who tells Bill that he was trapped in the Zoo. Bill asks how he got out and Travis, petrified, tells him that the woman in charge walked out and the horde simply followed her out. Giving him a chance to escape. He warns him that She may be heading this way. Bill embraces the situation and sets Travis up with a room. He takes the tape recorder that Travis brought and begins watching the tapes.
