The following report is for incident # 8542, hereby known as “No Zero days”

Since Ididian 7 lost all power during this time no security footage could be found, so we will be having our onsite artist depict the events to hopefully show a clearer time line of what transpired.

Survivor 4

Interviewer: Please state your occupation.

Survivor 4: why? I was told when I started here that you have all my info on file? When can I see my little girl, she’s with my aunt, I don’t know what you guys have told them.

I: They’re fine; all family members were informed of an “incident” at the building, without giving too much detail, with the exception of a few concerned mothers and fathers we covered everything, also this is for the record Mr. [redacted]

S4: oh, okay then, I work for Ididian 7, I watch the security feeds for the northeast sections of Floors 8, 5, 9, 22, b2, and 6.

I: I see, and where were you when the event known as “No Zero days” began?

S4: I was in my guard room, when the security blast doors came down. Shortly after that the power went out. Lucky me; but thanks to Ididian protocols though all security rooms act as mini safe rooms so I had plenty of food and water to wait for rescue.

I: good to hear, if I may ask, how did you pass the time? You were in there for a very, very, long time.

S4: I had picked up my daughters ball in the driveway the day the incident went down. Luckily I had it in my bag, so I just bounced it all day on the walls. The doors were locked so I was trapped and had nothing else to do but wait. Bounce it till I fell asleep, and repeat. For some reason none of my electronics worked even my cellphone wouldn’t come on. Was it some kind of EMP or something?

I: from what we can figure, the contained known as Big Sister 10 had used her electricity abnormality to short out the buildings power sources.

S4: I see, that’s pretty scary, jeez. Well I don’t know which day it was as there was no light coming in but at one point my door got punched in.

I: Im sorry, “Punched in”?

S4: yea, a straight up hole in the door. It was that big stone one they brought in--

I: Big Sister 7? How did you survive when she got in?

S4: OH no, she wasn’t trying to get in just walking down the halls punching the walls and doors every few feet. I think, and I’m not sure of this, she was looking for Stress weaknesses in the building for a point she could escape. That’s when Big Sister #1 yelled in our brains again somehow, saying she was tired of looking Captain C. Montgomery Maul--

I: First Lieutenant

S4: yeah, First Lieutenant C. Montgomery Maul and the head of Ididian, Mr. [redacted], in the building and had found the “keys” to some interesting friends to hunt them down.

I: “keys”?

S4: I have no idea, you and I both know the cell doors don’t work that way. All Dna, retinal, and voice locked, if the power goes out the cells shut down and you can’t get in or out. At this point, I saw what I thought were dogs run past the hole Sister 7 had made. I peeked through and saw, I want to say, about 9 contained running in the direction Big Sister #7 was moving in. These things were booking it, since Sister 7 was moving so slowly they were on her in a heartbeat.

I: then?

S4: they fought, She was fighting all of them at once, it was crazy, I think I saw Sister 7 absorb or eat 2 of them, but they kept fighting she managed to kill about 3 of em, then I saw more come past the hole I was looking through. At this point I ducked under my desk in hopes they didn’t see me, I did not go back to look until I heard the tussling slowly die down.

I: The fight stopped?

S4: no, it just faded out, like it went on further than I could hear.

I: I see, and were there any other incidents till we found you after that?

S4: none sir.

I: Also, did you happen to see First Lieutenant C. Montgomery Maul at any time during the No Zero days event

S4: no, sir.

I: that will be all, thank you for your time Mr. [redacted]

S4: okay, good, I just let me know when I can go home…

“No Zero day” death count is estimated to be 125 and 21 Contained at this point.
