Darky and I decided on some covert operations against the local bandits utilizing quick but silent transport from the infamous old-man bycicles.

We chose to enter the east side of Elektro via the train tracks to maintain integrity for our mission. Upon entering we are surprised by the lack of zombies in town and decide to head up the streets to what we thought was a ghost town. Then a few zombies went sprinting by out in the distance between the school house and the supermarket.

We did a quick u-turn and parked our bikes on the south end of town out of sight and moved back in on foot. Spending about 5 minutes and not seeing a single soul that could have spawned or otherwise caused the zombies to go crazy, we head back tot he bikes and head West out of the town.

Staying on the train tracks we are coming up to the gas station on our right. Darky branches off to check the area and I do circles around the gas station building and then back onto the tracks. Just then, I hear a car driving by on the road heading towards the East into Elektro.

Darky must have been near the road since the driver is starting to chase him down, tried ramming him to no avail, and Darky comes over voice laughing hysterrically.

Meanwhile I now have a perched spot in the trees out of sight, watch 2 guys pile out of the car to continue the pursuit after darky now on foot. Just as they step out I let off half a stanag mag into each of them and watch them fall dead.

The driver guns it with horns blasting and Darky finishes him off before he can make an escape.

Now sure there are no more maniacs trying to gun down or run over Darky, we head in and scope out the vehicle and dead bodies for loot. These guys are fully loaded! And their yellow old-hatchback now is in need of serious repairs.

We decided to hang around a bit, not needing the car or loots, and wait for their return or other passers by.

Zimmy Zoom, JPM, and 12ogue were the unsuspecting victems and about 5 minutes later Zimmy shows back up to scout things out. Back at my same perch, I let off an AS50 round to his head and watch him flail helplessly to the ground once again with blood spurting.

At this point the scene is starting to to attract a lot of attention, and we head north into the hills to overlook the area surrounding the gas station. Meanwhile Kyreaper and Duckman are approaching from further north to provide some backup.

Zimmy shows back up shortly, Darky wants another shot, and fails to deliver as he is able to pick up all his loots again. Covered now by trees, Zimmy heads at the bottom of our hill further west dodging our bullets. As he heads into Darky's side of the hill, I continue to watch the car scene for others that may have stumbled upon it.

Kyreaper and Duckman are still far off when Darky gets hit and passes out. I no longer have line of sight on him or on Zimmy and patiently watch in their direction as Darky fades to the abyss.

Feeling sorry for my fallen comrade, Fear gets the best of me and locks me in place trying to stay away from the zombies that came rushing to his shots. Several minutes go by, no sign of Zimmy, no action by the car. I head north to a clearing to find out what I can see as I hear FN FAL shots out in the distance. Darky had one in his pack, so I figured Zimmy stole it and has continued his fight further North.

I make it to the Barn just past the road North of us which overlooks the northern firestation in Elektro. No more shots until hearing the snap of distant gunfire raining bullets around my position. In no real danger due to the extreme range, I slowly crawl back south until they have no more line of sight on me.

I examine Darky's body to find his FAL is still there. However, they took his L85!

Now I'm even more scared knowing they had thermal capabilities against me, but wait, I still have mine too!

Anyway, at this point Kyreaper and Duckman have gotten to the hill and I have taken up position just east in the hay fields as they try to scope out some new aimless wanderer hiding next to the house by the car.

I zoom in and take the shot with my AS50, nailing his skull to his new coffin.

Now checking my debug monitor it reads 3 murders and 2 bandit kills.

Pressing escape again to go back to default UI, I press "Respawn" in a hurry, watch my body collapse, and feel more taunted than ever before in DayZ as my vision fades to white to black to YOU ARE DEAD.

My own worst enemey, or Karma? You decide....
