The scientific community is focusing on the phenomenon, specifically on that trance like state that seems to characterize the assailants. Clearly a behavioral disorder, but what could've caused so widespread and dramatic condition as the one we're facing tonight. We've heard speculation, on everything from the Ozone layer and chemical weapons, to uh... [laughs softly] voodoo mysticism and organisms from space. A biologist in Stockton, California, have released reports, stating the uh... [puts glasses on] bodies, of the recently dead, are returning to life. Driven by an unknown force which enables the brain to continue to function. Doctors at the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, reject that theory, calling it preposterous beyond belief. They feel that the only reasonable explanation is a germ, that has a mind altering effect on its victims. Though how such a germ could've been spread so quickly and across such a vast area, does remain a mystery. It's being called "Judgement Day" by religious leaders.

Johnnie They're coming to get you, Barbara!
Barbara Stop it!
Johnnie They're coming! They don't like being awaken this way!
Barbara Why do you have to be so mean?
Ben You are losing it girl, you are losing it.
Barbara You think so? [shoots an approaching zombie in the face] Whatever I lost, I lost a long time ago and I do not plan on losing anything else. You can talk to me about losing it when you stop screaming at each other like a bunch of two-year-olds.
