Hiya Britt... been a while since I've viewed this forum... kinda freaks me out to be honest just how fast it's grown, so much content to scrawl. Gratz to all regarding the series success. Hmm hate to sound overly expectant, but are you hosting any new competitions ? Maybe something along the lines of a bg music thingo ? Anyways have a good one. Love my shirt btw 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
great post. when soldiers came home from WWII there wasn't a high occurance of PTSD. why? because soldiers spent months on a boat with other soldiers who had chewed the same dirt, knew the horrors, and could work through those problems with each other. it was a way for them to decompress in a confined environment, where there wasn't anything to do but deal with those issues. contrast that with vietnam where soldiers would be getting shot at from rice patties one day, and two days later be walking through LAX. it was following the vietnam war that we saw numerous cases of shell shock, now called PTSD. over the recent years the army has finally started to take notice (i can't speak to the other branches) and has began implimenting decompression periods. it starts with spending a month in kuwait doing menial tasks under observation to prepare them to return to the world. that month is followed by periodic "conferences" for lack of better word, where the combat vets can come and talk and relate to each other. i don't know if this has been implimented across the army yet or if it's still in a sort of beta phase, but it is a step in the right direction. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

Fuck that title! Okay, so who it could refer to: Angel, Burt, Kalani, Riley, Hannah, and/or Randy. Michael could be tempted to tell his story about what happened at the Water Pumping Station. Riley could be a surprise death (not likely). Maybe Angel's mangled body is in the hands of the Mallers now and we hear his last moments. Perhaps Burt isn't in tip top shape and finally meets his death at the hands of Scratch and her cronies. Argh, so many possibilities.

I love it all and believe you are on the track to get the majority correct this chapter. (Hope I didn't hex you with that). The only one I would disagree on is that some light will be shed on Pippin's murder. Although I'm very confident Kalani pulled the trigger, I don't think we'll touch on it any time soon, if at all. I don't know when Kalani would have had an opportunity to write about it, unless it was so premeditated that the moment folks went downstairs to collect Pippin at the front gate, Kalani turned around and scribbled, "I'm going to kill that prick." There is a strong chance we may never know exactly what happened, other than what we've already heard. Unless Kelly suddenly says, "I knew Pippin was a Maller. When I was on guard duty, he let slip so many lies. I knew no one else would do it, so I did. Kalani's journal just proves it." 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

But she also knew guns, remeber her grilling Saul when they first meet up. That is not necessarily prision warden knowledge. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Not very decisive on this one, eh? I thought that the Mallers did not know the location of the other tower and that's why they needed a clean mole a.k.a. Kalani. Maybe Chinwe was the "warden" and that's the reason why she had so many files on the prisoners already and was very meticulous in her methods. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
@raven: but CJ didn't clock it. She didnt make a connection that Victor made a connection. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Victor already acknowledged knowing Sean "Sean huh...?" When CJ mentioned him the first time around but I wouldn't be adverse to hearing more about the sweet lug who carried Hope all the way but like Martin I don't think it adds enough to the story to merit more details 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Hmm..flip it in ways nobody thinks of... All stuff from ft Irwin..and the waterworks story. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I wonder if it would jump to Sean's story and how he got killed by the colony. A long shot and it might never happen. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

I know, right??!! It threw my whole plan up in the air. Including my prediction/theory that Kalani never made it back into the Tower. If he sent Riley down first, he could have in theory planted that journal in Bill's desk immediately after. It's sketchy because he was in radio contact often.....so......hmmm... 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
