The party returns to camp bearing the remains of 4 blink racoons.\u00a0 Alex immediately sets to work analyzing them, specifically looking for differences in their DNA.\u00a0 Meanwhile Ian starts getting organized for the visit to the VA center.\u00a0 He collects some climbing supplies so we can scale the elevator shafts if necessary, to avoid fighting in stairwells.\u00a0 We know the blues are attracted to noise, so we should try to have suppressors if possible.\u00a0 He suggests bringing melee weapons and pry bars, both for close combat and to get into locked rooms.\u00a0 Ian succeeds in building a door pry-opener.\u00a0 He also is looking for anyone who is familiar with the layout of the facility.\u00a0 Barry Marshall says he was just in Stallis,\u00a0 He thinks there still are some people on the grounds, up on the hill but not in the hospital itself.\u00a0 We also look for snowshoes, but no luck.\u00a0 Something to look for in the future.<\/p>\n

We also radio Lucy and arrange to meet her at the Milwaukee Museum\/Library on Jan. 2 so we can travel to the VA together.\u00a0 We start north on 94 with 2 snowmobiles with sleds behind each one.\u00a0 We make it to the library without incident, and meet Lucy there with her friend Roxy.\u00a0 We look around the library and museum to see if we can find snowshoes there.\u00a0 There is a French Indian war exhibit where we find two pairs of snowshoes.\u00a0 We spend the night.\u00a0 Lucy and Alex review what information they are looking for, including reports from early cases, and reports from the analysis of samples from people who died of the initial exposures.<\/p>\n

By January 2nd everything is in order and we start for the grounds with the snowmobiles and sleds.\u00a0 We park them near the old soldiers area, and we pick up the faint smell of smoke.\u00a0 We gather our gear and head of toward the VA.\u00a0 Ian goes up and checks the door while we wait.\u00a0 The doors have safety glass which is smashed but still in the frame.\u00a0 The coast is clear, so we all sneak up and start clearing the snow from the doors.\u00a0 Alex and Dusty are able to slide the doors open.\u00a0 We start into the building.\u00a0 The long hallway is in view, but it is only intermittently lit by the daylight coming in.\u00a0 We move past the hallway to Elevator A and try prying the door open.\u00a0 We succeed and see that the elevator car is there. Meaghan pops the hatch in the roof and starts climbing.\u00a0 She gets to the 8th floor.\u00a0 Dusty follows and together they set a belay.\u00a0 Chet starts to follow but falls back after just a few floors.\u00a0 He lands on a bolt.\u00a0 Lucy is able to heal him.\u00a0 He then climbs up, followed by Alex, Lucy, and Ian.<\/p>\n

The hallway is dark.\u00a0 We move to the double doors that open into the 8101 suite.\u00a0 There are a number of offices in this suite, so we start looking for the research office.\u00a0 We find it, and start looking for the files.\u00a0 It takes some time, but we the right filing cabinet and collect all of the information.\u00a0 We also collect some other basic lab supplies, including microscope, slides, etc.\u00a0 We hit the wound clinic in the same suite and get first aid supplies, sutures, etc.\u00a0 After loading up our backpacks, we head back to the elevator.\u00a0 Everyone descends safely, and we are standing on the top of the elevator car.\u00a0 We pry open the doors and go to the Ultrasound lab on floor 2.\u00a0 We find two ultrasounds machines and add them to the backpack.<\/p>\n

As we are gathering the supplies, Dusty sees movement in the hallway.\u00a0 The whole party goes silent.\u00a0 We see 5 blues heading down the hall.\u00a0 We all crouch down and wait to see what they do.\u00a0 They charge into the room.\u00a0 Chet stabs one of the blues, while Meaghan takes out two other with her hand axes.\u00a0 Dusty finishes the same blue that Chet attacked, then steps up and wounds another.\u00a0 Ian guts another one with his knife.\u00a0 Chet and Meaghan finish the last one.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Ian can’t even find a garbage bag to put the heads in.\"\"<\/p>\n

We take the heads for further study, then head down to the pharmacy.\u00a0 Meaghan picks the lock and breaks into the cage that is protecting the drugs. We collect a bunch of things, based on what we need.\u00a0 Painkillers, antibiotics, etc.\u00a0 Lucy directs us and we fill up what ever empty space we have in our packs with meds.<\/p>\n

We hustle back to the sleds then head back to the library.\u00a0 We divvy up the spoils between the library group, the Menomonee Falls group, and the hub group.\u00a0 We spend the night at the library.\u00a0 During that time we all go over the materials we have found.\u00a0 \u00a0People also look at the books to find out information about veterinary medicine, how to build snowshoes, etc.<\/p>\n

The next morning Ian wants to makes a stop at the sheriff’s\u00a0 office near the library before we head out.<\/p>\n
