Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.

She is found naked in the woods of the decaying Seahorse Island, by Dr. Carter, upon whom takes her to the local hospital, where she is dressed in a nurse's attire.
