Compare the success between an adult Beheomoth vs. a little one... If he saw that much of an improvement, what could he get with a baby rather than a child. I think he is deranged enough that he will be compelled to try to try. Maybe to the point of being reckless.

The man is pure insane genius. I don't think is anything out of his range.

Even so, that would only give them what had transitions between the chopper/base and the recon team. They had all the banter before the chopper landed. Kc did say this was the only event that broke the rule so far in the story....

The little ones took several casualties when Michael etal returned from Ft Irwin. In the last week, Ink lost a few more. If he wants to replenish the ranks he needs Folistatin and a child. Say it with me now, Dun Dun Dunbar...

With this being said, I can't help but wondering if any hanky-panky took place in the Arena. Just what kind of Playing (As Samantha called it) and Fun (as Martin called it) took place in the enter of the rink? When Burt saw the army of zombies approaching the hospital, in The Devil's Workshop, he mentioned seeing several living, unturned humans. Any babies made prior to the Purgatory chapter will be due shortly, if not already born.

All these people that are sooo excited about the return of Scratch sure are gonna be bummed when Datu gives her the old "Wrench upside the Head" next week!


Hail Datu, The People's Champ!!!

Maybe that's how he dies: Goes in guns a'blazin' against Scratch, since he is nearing his time.

Or, even cooler, he bites her and she turns....

If he goes after the child by gut says it is to make a family from the one he lost. Couldn't have a child with his wife (being dead and all) so he is starting fresh. Raise a little nut job like himself.

This makes me nervous.

Compare this:

I don't like that idea. She bad enough alive, even Ink wouldn't want her as an undead.

I definitely think he'll take someone out...maybe Tardust?
