*twitches* I'm not rehashing the fight about Kalani with you here, Njhellfire @Lex: I've already said elsewhere on the forum that the possibility of two rats....in fact, I might have been the first person to pose the idea. If I'm stepping on someone's toes, my apologies. Bill, at most, stole some stuff. He didn't want anyone in his Tower in the first place and the only reason he "invited" the Mallers up during the party is because he was drunk. I'm not even positive Bill is the thief to be honest. Datu wasn't the only one moving the generator to the 14th floor thus leaving the elevator up there meaning he wouldn't be the only one who knew it was up there. And if someone needed a scapegoat, Bill is the perfect patsy. And man, it's awfully convenient that he died so he couldn't defend himself, isn't it? Is it possible that there's more than one rat? Yeah, of course there is. But what you're suggesting requires so much coordination by a bunch of people who have proven they can't solidly execute a plan (see: The War, the assault on the Arena). I really feel like the person who betrayed the Tower wasn't sent in by the Mallers. They were with the Tower, but became disillusioned with something and felt the Mallers were a solid option. This is further evident if you take your Scratch quotes and realize that this person might feel guilty about what they've done so they aren't in contact with the Mallers anymore. Besides, who's to say those two quotes you referenced are even about the Tower? Scratch has some new friends, remember? Maybe they were in reference to those new friends (which as I presume is the Colony). SPOILER Also, thinking of it from the English language point of view: Doubts is pluralized. Traitors has to be pluralized as well to make grammatical sense. The predicate nominative (Traitors) serves to give more detail to the noun/subject of the title (Doubts). By pluralizing traitors, you aren't indicating multiple traitors, you indicate multiple doubts. Many thanks to the resident English teacher of my life, Mrs. Voodoo. She gave me all those fancy words to use So I certainly don't agree, and I feel like I've soundly debunked. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I know I stand alone in this, but I trust Pippin. He may be hiding someting about his story, like he only escaped because his friends were being murdered and now he's ashamed, I don't know. Imagine you just went through hell and now your out and everyone is accusing you of malicious intent. As logical is it may be to question him, it's also completely logical for to be getting pissed. I'm planting my flag in Pippin's innocence. Recall if you will that Snape (from Harry Potter) was supposed to be evil the whole time, and look what happened with him! 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
@Lex- The plural traitors could be the one unknown mole and Pippin. Also Pippin could be lying to the tower, or using someone elses story as I believe Kalani is. Sorry Nik I couldn't help myself, and yes I still believe in my theory until Kalani flies that helicopter. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
~FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T WANT THE TITLE SPOILED DON'T READ ALL THE WAY TO THE END~ ~SPOILER AT THE END~ Hey, Nik good predictions, but I just have something to say... What if there is more than just one mole/rat? I've had this thought in my head and I base it off what Scratch said at the furniture store when Tardust asks her something like "what about the other one?" Also Scratch responds with "We've still got her" So I was thinking what if Bill was one of the moles that is why he said "I'm sorry." as he laid dieing during The War. And in addition to Bill they also have another mole, this one being a chick mole. Another reason why they would have two moles is to maybe have one mole keep an eye on the other one or if one of them dies or died they would still have a remaining mole to keep checks and give info to the Mallers about the tower. I might be wrong, but another little thing that convinced me that there could be two moles is the title of Chapter 22 SPOILER "Our Doubts Are Traitors." Again as I said before, I could be wrong, but it says here traitors in plural form meaning two or more. Anyways that is just a theory i've had nagging me for a while. Debunk it or agree with it. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
25 Points to j0be. Leedo- Right. Tardust doesn't need to be alive much longer, but he's alive now in my opinion. All I care about at this particular moment is that he survived the explosion. After that, I don't care if he gets trampled by a rampaging elephant escaped from a zoo, who defecates on his still warm corpse. And if you don't take Kalani, you're adding another step to your process. Now you have to get up to a remote location, travel back to the Tower, travel back to the remote location with the pilot(s) (thus wasting more resources) to fly back to the Tower. I feel like prepping a landing area would be considerably easier than having to escort Kalani all the way out to Van Nuys. I do, however, understand protecting Kalani as a valuable asset. But we shall soon see 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Nik the only reason I see Tardust surviving the blast is so Saul can kill him. I think this is going to be a turning point for Lizzy and Saul. Maybe she gets upset that Saul would up and kill him, or maybe she wants Saul to kill him and he backs down only to have Michael kick him from The Tower. Either way Tardust isn't long for this Earth. And for the whole Saul and Burt reconing the airports, you wouldn't want to take Kalani on a search mission for the aircraft. Have Saul and Burt pick a few and mark them (maybe secure them somehow) then take Kalani out to fly it to the Tower. Kalani is now a mission essential asset that should be guarded, plus he needs to prep the landing zone at the Tower. My take on the search of the Arena is that Michael is going to divert Burt and Saul to check out the Arena. Awesome job Nik I can't wait for the next chapter to start up! 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Still reading the rest, but the song was "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive" and was written by Harold Arlen and the lyrics were by Johnny Mercer. The only version I had heard was Bing Crosby's, but I just found out it was recorded by several different groups. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

First I would shoot the zombies traveling to me. I would find somewhere warm to hole up in, with at least two entrances\exits (no caves though as you might get trapped or your weapon jammed and the zombies would have a fresh juicy corpse to feed on). Then i would go and sharpen a couple of stick or tie a large rock to a strong sturdy stick to use as an alternative weapon; cause I don't really trust guns. They take time to reload and could jam if some dirt or sand get in it. I would stay as far away from civilization as possible. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

excellent review..love listening to all the possiblities. two thumbs up!! 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I would run uphill, try to get some of the zombies to fall off of cliffs. Hide in caves and such. With only 150 rounds, I would try to use big rocks when I could. I would take to hunting wild game and zigzagging through the mountains. Screw civilization, the most I would try is if I found a cabin so I could stay warm. Lower numbers of infected in the area might mean I can clear them out locally 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
I probably should've mentioned something about water/food... or maybe I didn't on purpose =P 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
Mountains are good and could work to your advantage, but, also very dangerous. The weather changes very quickly and you would have to work out a few escape routes to get down. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

Tough one. Where there are mountains, there are caves. It would be pretty easy to hole up in a cave for a while. The nice thing about big bear, there is snow..Drinking water, and animals...Fresh food. Once the coast is clear, You can start your trek over the mountian to the town of granite falls. That town only has 6k people. Low # of turned, but there has to be some survivors. Then the real journey begins 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0

Very interesting perspective on the little ones. I have witnessed the rage of a young child. Definitely something to think about. 0 Likes, 0 Add to Bug Hunter, 0 Grammar, 0 WAPoints 0 0 0 0
