Michael Choi: The USS Holo Kai

Around noon today, I met with Mr. Choi, a diver part of the U.S. Navy's Deep Submergence Combat Corps, or the  DSCC.  He spoke of the "cleanup" he went through of the oceans and bays all around the United States.  When we were fully submerged underneath the ocean's top, he started to speak of the exciting equipment they used to take the swimming zombies out.  Mr. Choi always used a more flexible suit:  the Mark 1 Exosuit.  He told me that this suit was much better than the hard suits because you could feel zombies if they were attacking you and there was an option of swimming, unlike the steel cylinders of the hard suits.  Also, he told me of the different ways that they could kill some zombies, and the best way was to just grab their head and crush it.  Because they couldn't grasp guns with their hands and new technology didn't work well in such deep areas, they just squeezed their brains instead of shooting it.  Then, he told me about how him and his team had to protect oil rigs from troops of zombies, because Zack would just creep up on the workers and bite straight through their dry suit.  Finally, Mr. Choi spoke of how they lured the zombie herds away from beaches.  First, they leaded them out to sea by boat, and then they would put up a wall between Zack and the beach, so that they couldn't get through.  Now, Mr. Choi is about to retire from the deep sea diving altogether, and he has recently been tracking movements and actions of certain packs of Zack.  This interview was very interesting, but I didn't like how Mr. Choi couldn't admit that he was frightened of the living dead.  He would always say that he wasn't scared after he had just said he was, and this made me feel that he was the kind of guy that always had to make himself look good.  Except for that, I had a great time during the underwater plunge.
