I see the only relevant post has already been made.

So Rowf and Snitter get their island after all, I guess.

Scary? Freaking awesome is more like it!

Does it come with snipers?
 
2010-03-19 01:49:43 PM
That's only part of the island. There's a very, very nice beach. Terns nest there.

I'd freaking love to have an island I could get to. If I could afford to I'd take it and redevelop it as a vacation mecca for the adventurous type.

Maybe rename it Die In A Fire Island.

That's the joke

Does it have a frozen donkey wheel?

I'm gonna buy it and find Captain Kidd's treasure.

Sounds like the perfect place to ride out World War Z. I'm guessing that Lab's pretty secure and the lighthouse would be a great sniper spot.
 
2010-03-19 01:55:46 PM
Sounds charming.

Sweet! I've been waiting for this thing to pop up for sale. I've already bought my beginners necropsy kit and have a few vet friends working on a canine genome project that are interested. We'll try to keep the reanimation to a minimum, but no promises.

Facility tour guides will be needed. Application will be taken at PetSmart.

The real estate market still shows signs of weakness as Dr. Moreaun is forced to do a short sale.

Candy Apple Island? What do they have there?

As a kid I sailed over to Plum Island in my sunfish (took about 4 hours) and as I was coming ashore, two guys in a jeep came flying over to me as soon as I hit land and told me to turn around and go ASAP.
They only let me drain the water out of the boat. I later looked up the Island and read what it was.
/kind of cool story bro
 
2010-03-19 02:03:26 PM
I once applied for a job there.

They didn't get back to me for about six months.

They said no.

/Cool story, I know

So our lovely government is moving a lab where they test the most deadliest and highly infectious animal diseases from an island in the middle of the ocean to the middle of the continental United States. No wonder they're trying to push this healthcare bill through.

Foot and Mouth Disease and Exotic Newcastle's Disease are included for free!

So, what will be found in those forgotten vials in the basement:

The T-Virus or Las Plagas?

Should I prepare for classic zombies or Ganados and Regenerators?
 
2010-03-19 02:13:32 PM
BSL-2 is nothing, BSL-3 isn't bad. I assume that they'll bleach the place and then autoclave everything that they're not taking with them.

The chemical concerns are much more of a factor than the biological. Old army base? I'd worry more about unexploded ordnance than live bugs that can only infect animals...the former are much more likely!

no 28 days later?

I've always thoght it would be so relaxing to live on a deserted island for like 3 months. Is there anywhere warm in the world where you can do that for free?
 
2010-03-19 02:16:25 PM
Spider-skull island? I'll take it.

Wow, that's a location right out of a survival horror game.

At least it's still an island, unlike the russian one. (new window)

Not very good at Geography, are you?
Here is a map showing Plum Island "in the middle of the ocean":

Though I am impressed that you guessed that Kansas is in the middle of the country!

Never read that one. My personal fav was The Charm School.

Its perfect for the nature lover or mad scientist in your life.
