The american adventures part 2

Part 2: Mikazuki

Rise guided the Mikazuki up to the jetty, where a little group of people waited. He stepped off the boat, to be greeted by Mayor Kowalski, James Fraser - both of whom he had spoken to by radio, with Satsuki doing her best to translate, but not met - and several others. Sachiko Hirano was also there, and she hugged him warmly.

"After 46 days, good to get off that boat," said Kazuki, as he and Hotaru tied the boat to the jetty bollards.

"But it means that we are the first people to sail across the Pacific," said Shizuka.

"A Chinese fleet did it in 1421," said Lian. "Discovered America."

Rise, Kazuki, Hotaru, Satsuki and Shizuka all looked at her with a mixture of bemusement and puzzlement.

She shrugged. "As everyone knows," she said. "Look it up."

Rise turned to the greeting party. "It is very good to be here," he said, via Sachiko. "As I said when we spoke, we have goods to trade, and I hope this will be the start of a new and fruitful relationship."

"What do you have?" said Fraser.

"After talking with Rei and the others who were here a while ago," said Shizuka, "we loaded up the boat with pumpkins, melons, salted venison, and seeds. Lot of seeds. Oh, and rice wine. Be careful of that, it bites."

"And honey," said Kazuki. "In really nice pots."

"Honey! And wine!" cried Kowalski. "My friends, you are ... very ... welcome."

It was four days later. Shizuka and Satsuki were in the little hut that served as the community's infirmary, with an elderly man called Simpson. They had spent the day giving medical check-ups to anyone who wanted them, with Shizuka doing what she could with the supplies from her battered medical kit.

"There's no need to call me doctor," said Shizuka to Simpson. "I was just a school nurse before the Outbreak. Since then, all I've done is read some books and do whatever looks like it might work. And deliver babies. Lot of babies."

"Well, it beats me," said Simpson. "My entire medical experience was six months of training as a medical orderly in the army, decades ago. And most of our drugs ran out a long time back. This is all we have left. If there is anything here you think you can use, you're welcome to it." He opened a cupboard to reveal the infirmary's rather pathetic stock of supplies.

Shizuka picked up a familiar-looking bag of liquid. She asked Simpson what the label said, and he told her, through Satsuki. It was Rabies Antigen.

"This," said Shizuka.

There was a knock at the door; an American, maybe eighteen, looking for Simpson. "Doc, it's my brother," said the young man. "He's ... he's turning, I think. He's in a coma. We've tied him down but ... "

Simpson sighed. He opened the drawer of the desk and took out a pistol.

Shizuka put her hand on his arm. "Please let me try something," she said.

Simpson looked at her. "There's nothing that can be done," he said.

"Then there is nothing to lose by letting me try," she said.

Simpson looked at the young man. He nodded.

Running, they followed the young man to the room he shared with his brother, in one of the airport outbuildings.

A man, fitfully unconscious, was tied securely to a metal chair.

"I've done experiments on zombie blood that we collected, and I think that the zombie virus is related to rabies," said Shizuka, through Satsuki. "I've mixed rabies antigen with zombie blood and it seems to defeat the virus. I can't say I know how, and we haven't got very far with our experiments, but it shows promise." She took a syringe from her kit and filled it with the antigen, and injected it into the man's arm. It took a quarter of the liquid in the bag.
