After discussing the situation with Kunta and deciding collectively to leave the fugitive Starakian alone for now, we returned to our original plan—ensuring that the first ten floors of the Whitesun Hotel were completely safe and clear of any remaining Infected threats.
We conducted a thorough final sweep, hunting down the last few stragglers we might have missed during our initial clearing passes. Every corpse we found was systematically carried to the nearest window and thrown out, adding to the growing collection of bodies accumulating on the pavement below. As we descended floor by floor, we also performed secondary verification checks, double-checking rooms we'd already cleared, examining closets and maintenance spaces with fresh eyes, making absolutely certain nothing had been overlooked.
