Colonel Christina Eliopolis: Parnell Air Nation Guard Base, Tennessee

Today I met with Colonel Christina Elipolis. I got a very intense story from her. It made me feel like I had no problems at all during the war after listening to her experience. She was a Raptor driver of the FA-22, the best plane ever built. Her and her crew’s main objective was airborne resupply. Her troubles all started on a trip from Phienix to Tallahassee, Florida, in late October. It was the ninth haul that week. She had to go to the bathroom and was finishing up when there was a jolt and then she could feel the plane nose diving at the ground. She takes an emergency exit and pulled her shoot and landed on the ground below. She was now on the ground by herself, but she was prepared because her base had taught her how to survive this experience. She had to pass a test in Willow Creek in the Klamouth Mountains in California. It taught you how to survive and take out Zack (zombies). She had all the survival materials that she needed, gear and a pistol. She also had a response from her radio, from a girl named Mets. She told Christina she was to go to the I-10 where Mets told her be pick up from the search and rescue. She helped her all the way to the finish line. She spotted a car. Mets told her to stay away, because in the cars there could be zombies might be trapped in them ready to grab you if you enter. She went anyway. She ended up taking out fifteen zombies. It was getting dark and dangerous and she had to get sleep. She slept in a high tree. She woke up and saw a hundred zombies. She called Mets for an immediate search and rescue plane. he jumped far away from them, but broke her ankle. She limped to the I-10 and hopped onto the plane and was safe. It was a very crazy and powerful experience to listen to.

  1. It was pretty intense. I think Christina was very lucky to make it out of there alive.

  2. I think that Mets was a voice in her head. She was traumatized from the loss of her crew and friends. Either way, Mets was the reason that she survived.

  3. Very good point. Because at the end it said that they never ended up finding the cabin or Mets. But still in the middle it described Mets how she was a skywatcher and it gave specifics. But great point she could have been going crazy and made this up.

  4. I believe that Mets was just her imagination or a voice in her head from trauma because she never found out who it was. But either way Mets saved her life.
