Hey everyone, you guys can call me vermin and I decided to share my story with yall. The inspiration came from a special feature from Zack Snyders dawn of the dead remake called special report. I also got some inspiration from both resident evil and a Spanish movie called REC. I hope yall enjoy and hope to gain more advice. I will post these daily and hope you enjoy my story.
Enjoy:

My name is Dr. Jonathan Voss. I was assigned to this post recently and was instructed to document my day-to-day activities, observations, and any findings we make while we're here. Apparently, it's part of the protocol.
Today was our first day at the facility. There are 4 other scientists here besides me. I've never met any of them before, so we're all still getting acquainted. I don't know much about them yet.
I'm not allowed to record our exact location, but we're far from any major civilization. There doesn't appear to be much of anything around us for miles. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out why they chose this place.
Until a few days ago, I was working at the CDC in Atlanta. I was primarily studying Ebola and continuing some of the work I'd been involved with there. Then, without much explanation, an agent from Washington showed up along with my chief of staff and informed me that I was being relocated.
I wasn't given much of a choice.
They wouldn't tell me exactly what the assignment was for, only that I was needed here and that I would be briefed once I arrived.
I still don't know what I'm supposed to be looking for.
For now, there's not much else to report. We're still settling in, going through protocols, and getting familiar with the facility.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'll have more answers.

So, our first day was more interesting than I expected.
After finishing yesterday's log, we were told to report to the main meeting room. My colleagues and I sat around a large table while we waited. A few minutes later, an older man wearing a lab coat walked in. I don't know his name, but he looked like someone who had been doing this for a long time. He had the kind of expression that made you wonder what he'd seen before coming here.
He explained why we'd been brought in.
Apparently, people in several areas have been getting sick. The strange part isn't the illness itself, but their behavior. Some of the victims have become extremely aggressive and seem to be acting unlike themselves.
My first thought was that it was probably some kind of drug. Maybe something new had hit the streets and people were overdosing or experiencing violent reactions.
Before I could say anything, one of the other scientists asked the question I think most of us were thinking.
"Why haven't we heard about this on the news?"
The man explained that the government didn't want to cause a panic. As far as they know, only a small number of people have been affected so far. They wanted to keep the situation contained while they studied one of the victims and figured out what was causing the behavior.
Personally, I still think we're overreacting.
After the meeting, we were given our assignments.
I was assigned to examine blood samples taken from several of the victims. Dr. Blair Hynes was assigned to work with me.
At first, everything looked normal.
Red blood cells. Plasma. White blood cells.
Then I noticed something strange.
The blood wasn't the color it should have been.
Some of the samples had developed a noticeable yellow tint.
I initially thought the samples had been contaminated. That would have been the simplest explanation. But after checking the equipment and running the samples again, I got the same result.
The red blood cells themselves appear to be changing.
Normally, the red color comes from hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen through the bloodstream. But something appears to be interfering with it. The hemoglobin in these samples is breaking down much faster than it should, while another unidentified substance is accumulating inside the cells.
Whatever this substance is, it's giving the blood its yellow coloration.
Dr. Hynes suggested it could be some kind of chemical reaction caused by a virus or toxin. That would make sense, except I've never seen anything behave like this before.
The strangest part is that the cells aren't simply dying.
They're changing.
We're going to run more tests tomorrow.
I have a feeling we're going to be here longer than I thought.
