Who's The Rat?

Maybe someone just got drunk and messed around with the radio?
Maybe someone got drunk and has blacked out doing it?
Maybe the Mallers overheard the party on the radio by accident and all their information comes from listening and taking notes?
If Tommy died as the result of Kelly's betrayal, that would be a strong motive for change on her part.

Why didn't Durai know about Pegs?

Maybe the mallers bugged the place and there was no rat! But a weakness in this theory is that they should've known Pegs' voice, unless the bug was somewhere that she never went.

I can't see the rat being anyone whose narrated thus far...

I have changed my mind about Burt being the rat. 1. I really like Burt and 2. After I made that post I remembered that there were shots fired from an unknown source. These shots kicked off the battle and did not come from Burt.

This is a complete aside, but I think Micheal fumbled the initial discussion with the mallers before the war started. The mallers could never have been trusted but Micheal could have been a little more diplomatic at the start as prisoners stereotypically have irrational respect issues.

If it was me, I would have totally said....actually I would have probably been hiding under a bed weeping with fear...forget it.

the mallers KNEW that the tower was inebriated, and burt couldnt have been the one to fire the shots, because he was in the room at the time.

I like the idea of someone very strong, and very intelligent being the mole, and i would like him/her to have their own agenda, the mole does not work for the mallers, the mole doesnt work for the tower, maybe there's more than one mole, but i like the idea of a super playa kind of mole who has his/her own agenda maybe rise to power in the tower *cough* kalani *cough*

maybe kelly but i'd rather it be a very headstrong intelligent character, rather than saul (who's kind of a dumbass, sweet and lovable, but not the sharpest tool in the shed) or angel (why the hell would angel do that? seriously, BRING IT, i have an entire fan club of angel fanatics now, you hate on angel you answer to us!!!)

i also like datu as the mole, cause screw that guy

just before Bill dies, he says "sorry" . what was he sorry about?

For sure the food, he knew about that.
He may have wanted to be in some form of control over the situation, maybe he just didn't trust anyone who was left behind at the Tower when all the mgmt was away...


Could he have called the Maulers?
Sure.

Why would he would be the question.
He owes Michael & Krew his life after that infection bit.

Who doesn't have a cover story?
If it's a random character and not a main character, I will be like WTF!?

Very few people are left to be suspicious of at this point, yet a few people stand out.
Hard to say..

The Rat was the dude that tried to make a break for it and ended up worm food! I can't remember what his name was though.

I wish I could copy/paste my old message from the other board before it went down.

Anyway I believe there's several people doing things at once. Most of the main characters were out of the Tower except for a few. By the time they came back Suit Zombie was playing around on the floor where Burt's gun shop is. Whoever stole the guns had to be working with someone else in order to move them all quietly in the timeframe they were given since Burt had just left to go rescue Michael. That person also had access to a key to open the locks. Lizzy was with Paul looking at the alarms. Pegs says she was on the roof and then checked on Riley's shop after it had been looted. Note that she says Kelly informed her of this first. Anyone could have stolen food, even the no name extras. All it takes is for people to realize no one is there to stop them. The only people whose whereabouts are not accounted for are Tommy, Kelly, and Bill.

I believe Kelly was the informant but I'm still unsure if she's the gun thief. At the time she had reason to dislike Michael and his leadership. She could have attempted to use the Maller's as a way to remove Michael from power and cut a deal for her and Tommy. She also may have been working with Bill in moving the weapons in hopes that Michael would surrender having no other choice. If that is true, her plan backfired on her and the guilt sparked her change of heart in the end.

Datu wasn't at the party (right?).

The ol' Datster is emotionally charged and I think it would be an easy target for a member of the Mallers to turn. I'm guessing he was the one who fired those shots that got the whole thing started.

Having said that, the apology from Bill is unsettling. I really hope it wasn't Bill. I like that guy.

I vote Kelly. (I've only listened through Ch. 11-III so far). What makes me think it was her is that she tried to get Tommy kicked out right before hand, when Burt found the food that Reiley had given Tommy because he could eat it. She was trying to get Tommy to safety before the Mallers came. Then later while Burt was at the Party she must have slipped down to give the message, taking advantage of the fact that she could pull rank so to speak on Tommy. I think she was trying to get Burt to drink too.
