Something about a bull and a horn


Starting major memory playback with: Various perspectives of important persons


{Hosea's perspective}

---

Driving into the gates of Bullworth Academy—with the intention of standing their ground against the imminent horde of husks, Hosea first tries to locate where AJ or Jimmy is.

Already were a large mob of husks that appeared from that huge hole in the wall, leading down to a river, and into a bridge that leads straight to Blue Skies were already funnelling out of the parking lot. Thinking back on it, perhaps that's where the power plant husks came to.

Hosea pulls on the breaks, drifts, makes a 180, and retreats to avoid the husks as Eno tries to fire back. The blind gunfire pains Hosea's ears as a small chunk of the mob chases after them.

Fortunately, the small chunk were thoroughly eviscerated by several lucky pipe bomb throws. To the left of them were Jimmy, a few football kids, and AJ shooting down on them from an elevated position. AJ waves at Hosea, and yelled something he couldn't hear.

He then sends Eno to go up to AJ, and ask him what he say, as he provides assistance on taking on the parking lot horde.

While Eno did trip on the stairs on the way up in a hurry, he came back with information.

---

Eno: "There're still some kids in the gym and the school building! The smoke was just too strong, and the fire as well. They can't get in, and the others can't get out!"

Hosea: "We need Yelena in this situation."

Yelena: "Fear not, Hosea. The cavalry is here."

*Once again, appearing in a perfect time, Yelena jumps down from behind Hosea's gun truck, leaving David to control the turret. The rest arrived as well, gathering up around Hosea, while also parking their vehicles to make some sort of defensive line.*

Hosea: "Couldn't appear in a better time, eh? Listen. Take my son, and go inside that school, and extinguish every fire you see, got it?"

Yelena: "I got it, Hosea. Come along, Mephisto."

Eno: "Don't get in my way."

Yelena: "I ask for you to do the same."

---

Yelena and Eno bolts right up the stairs, and into the burning school building. Yelena extinguish the flames blocking the door, prompting the two a clear entrance. Hosea creates tactical hand gestures at AJ, who responds accordingly, that roughly translates to "Don't let the mob reach to the back. Take these kids, and flank them before they flank us."

I have no idea how Hosea managed to make that sign language work, but AJ did what he was told. He convinces Jimmy to come with him, breaking the suppressing fire, and tactically retreats to another defensive position.

While it is unknown where the rest of the kids are – to which in his horror are probably in either the school or in the gym, he looks to his survivors that came along with him, and finds them all disorganised and lacking coordination.

This won't do at all. Hosea then cups his hands, goes into the middle of the fray, and calls the strats.

---

Hosea: "People! I like what I'm seeing, but at the same time, not really! Listen to what I have to say! And we'll win this! Gordon!"

*Gordon fortunately heard Hosea. At the time, he was standing on the back of Crownslayer's police bike, and he is taking potshots of the husks with her machine gun. That must be their grand plan. He stops shooting, listens attentively, and nudges Mila to do the same.*
