A Special Case

 Our head office works tightly with the field officers, not only to create the annual report and to collect data, but also because the field officers give us insight into Z. Phasmatis and how we can treat sufferers humanely.

Humanity is not what it once was; that is the general sentiment.  "Wasn't there a time when we didn't kill everything and everyone that got in our way?" That question seems to be asked many times, and I cannot come up with an answer.  Maybe there was.  Or maybe we just became more efficient, death and destruction being built into our hearts.

I'd like to think, however, that there is hope for how we treat each other.  The word "humane" brings about an image of hope and support; to act 'humanely' is to act with warm regard for the existence of another creature, to act with respect and dignity toward another being.

So, when one of our field officers shows strong desire to act humanely, we feel the need to encourage them, and thank them from the bottom of our hearts on behalf of all of humanity.  The more people act with humanity, the more faith can be restored in our species.

So it is with great sorrow that I write this report.  A few days ago, Field Officer Daniel Lavesques was shot by a police officer who believed Daniel had become infected while protecting a "Zombie".

Daniel had shown great humanity by protecting his fellow living being, and he will be greatly missed.
