Mercy For The Living Dead (Z Nation)

Going Nuclear Part Two

Season 1 Episode 10 Part Two

"Northern lights, come in." Warren said into the radio as they all made their way back to the reactor

"I don't know what you want with that old piece of junk" Homer said "Nobody to call"

"We got somebody that might pick up. Northern light, come in"

They came to a stop at the metal fence again where a female zombie was struggling to get through on the other side. Homer was at the front followed by 10k, Ellie and Cassandra followed by Warren. Doc and Amelia and Murphy was at the back.

"Something wrong Homer?" Cassandra asked when she seen him hesitate

"I knew her, that all" Homer explained looking sadly at the z "Her son was one of Max's buddies. Did you ever go back to the house you grew up in only to see it's falling apart in a bad neighbourhood? That's what this feels like... times ten"

"Well where I grew up, the zombie Apocalypse only improved things" Doc said

"I'll never know what happened to my family or where I grew up. Wales is so far away from here. I suppose its a blessing in disguise really not knowing what really happened so I can choose to hope they are safe as they can be or hope they didn't suffer and are now at peace. But I know they would want me to keep fighting and not let the apocalypse win. So that's what I'm gonna do" Ellie said sadness in her voice but also determination. She felt someone grab her shoulder and squeeze it trying to comfort her and she knew It was Warren.

She saw Homer turn to look at he too with a fond look on his face, he knew that some of what she said what aimed at him too. She saw the look on his face in the bunker and she knew he was ready to give up and she hoped what she said would encourage him to keep on fighting and the look on his face she had succeeded. Homer looked towards 10k and nodded letting him know it was ok to mercy the zombie. So he pulled his knife out and made his way over.

"Alright back to business" Homer said once the z was dead "From here on the areas hot, right? You got two clean rad suits in there. One for me and I need somebody to back me up" He said looking towards 10k who immediately stepped forward but Warren interrupted him

"No I'll go"

"Well you cant go" Doc denied " Who's gonna get him to California if something goes wrong?. Don't look at me"

"Okay. Alright" Warren agreed looking back to 10k "Just remember you have ammo now but not an infinite supply"

"Lets do this" 10k said nodding

"Be careful 10k" Ellie spoke up before he could leave "You are a valuable member of this team and I am not ready to loose anyone else, you hear me"

"Ill be fine" He said nodding, before him and Homer took off towards the reactor

10K'S POV

As they entered the building they could hear the alarms going off. They came to a set of red double doors which led to corridor which led to some stairs. Once they were up the stairs they ran down another corridor to come across a glowing zombie which 10k easily took care of with his gun.

"We made it to the control room" Homer said into his radio to the others. He then sat down in front of the computer "And there's our problem. Cooling pool three"

"Can you Scram it or not?"

"According to the controls, all the rods are enabled" He explained "But something is physically blocking the insertion.. we need to remove it"

"By hand?"

"Not by our hand" Homer said standing away form the computer and he went towards a cupboard and pulled something out and showed it to 10k "This is Robbie, he will drill into the pole and do a manual SCRAM, he can cut through anything. This little darlin' can vaporize steel"
