Following last weeks discovery of a loan reanimate and it's still unidentifiable victim at the vast Harland & Wolff ship building yard, Belfast Police now report a 'significant escalation' in the quarantined facility.

According to Police spokesperson John Lennighan, "A total of 3 more, as yet unidentified, individuals have now been found within the confines of the quarantined inclusion zone." All three were identified and neutralized after failing to give adequate response to army personnel requesting them to identify themselves. In each separate incident, the individual "continued to progress in a shambling manner synonymous with being in a state of necrotic reanimation." Lennighan added. All three were shot at point blank range. Their bodies have been transported to an undisclosed Government Necro-Mortosis quarantine facility for further evaluation.

Identities unknown
The 3 undead remain as yet unidentified, however Police have revealed that they are all male, mid to late 30's and wearing clothing that would suggest they were possibly from the crew of a commercial ship. "All efforts are being made at this point to contact any maritime vessels that have docked at Harland & Wolff within the last 14 days." said Lennighan. We have found several crew men missing on at least 2 vessels. However, the situation is confounded by the fact that sometimes crew members from foreign ports will simply jump ship as a means of illegal entry into the United Kingdom."

Quarantine widens:
The quarantine of Harland & Wolff has now widened to include all of the Dry Dock, Outfit Quay, Steel Quay and container yards. The financial impact will be immediate on Belfast's famous ship building facility. Harland & Wolff known throughout the world for building the ill fated Titanic, has over the years reinvigorated itself as a major repairer of ships, off shore oil rigs and wind farms. This out break will cause much of the facility to be at a standstill until the quarantine is lifted. Harbor patrols have been stepped up accordingly and the Battalion of 100 soldiers remain stationed there temporarily. No ships, commercial or otherwise are being allowed entry or access at the facility.

What is a Category Level 'B' outbreak?
These outbreaks are the second highest priority because:
They are fairly easy to spread
They result in a moderate rate of death and/or low death rates
They require specific enhancements of Center for Disease Control's laboratory capacity and enhanced disease monitoring.
