Sticking with your idea I picture a more dreadful scene: The chinook had to do an emergency landing, and it landed right on top of the Little One. And since Little Ones seem to be around in small numbers (like two or three), what would this mean so close to Boulder??? Red Winter becomes a new understanding ... Then it would not be Griggs alone anymore ...

But I don't stick with this mad idea ... ;) I return to what I assume to be more likely:
While #2 was on the Chinook it started to demolish the chopper after nearly 1.000 miles up in the air. Damaging the Chinook it got into a similar situation as what Pegs had when she had to make an emergency landing next to the farm ... Remember that one? A more skilled pilot might have done something similar while the Little One tried to enter the chopper from the outside ...

Little ones are fast, and from our autopsy, have quite high endurance...I dont think they'd keep pace with the chinook, but if it went down, and they headed that direction, whose to say they weren't a mere few hours behind the crash time, and thus only a short period of time before the blackhawk arrived, explaining why the 2 were JUST outside the chinook when the blackhawk arrived...

Just throwing other ideas out there

Also, I think you're right, there is some simple thing we're overlooking.....but in the meantime CRACKPOT THEORIES AWAY!

I highly doubt an Inkling is traveling 196+ mph on the ground. Also, the ground is not flat, there are hills, mountains, lakes, rivers, forrest, etc, etc, that the Inkling would have to deal with while running/tracking the Chinook. With that said, the Inkling was hanging on to the Chinook. When it ripped in to the Chinook it probably diabled critical systems causeing a controlled crash.

if it disabled critical systems, wouldnt it be an UNcontrolled crash?

Just as an aside ... On Monday I really had some trouble thinking about #33-3 and chapter #33 at all. Looking at 14 pages of forum-discussions about #33-3 without pages of gunnery-theories like with #33-2 is just outfuckingstanding. :D There is more to #33-3 then meets the eye. But what is it? An Autobot or a Decepticon? ...

I think it depends on how you define "critical" ... Wasn't the hydraulic-issue on Pegs's bird a critical system as well?

All the best!

Which, in hindsight, fits with the original idea of them starting out as Little Ones... So, then could their explosion into Inklings be considered a sort of chemical/Ink-induced zombie puberty?

My thoughts exactly!

Could Boulder be over-run quickly?

From what we do know of Inklings and other zombies: They would have to overcome obstacles of getting there, getting in, attacking and spreading Zombie Cooties. It is reasonable that there would still be enough time for the Boulderers to get out a distress call.

From what I can speculate: Inkling #2's decomposition gas spread the Zombie Cooties through the air, or some kind of contaminants spread from the ice used to keep the body cold or any of a number of ways a cross contamination could occur. Those infected change slowly as the infection spreads. Many people start turning at what seems to be all at once. :tinfoil:

Did Michael know or not know about the turned soldiers?

We can hear the he learns that the soldiers are turned but he may have assumed that they turned into regular biter, Not any of the special kinds.

Only Inking #2 seems to be a real baddass. The others took effort to kill but small teams in LA did the job.


Inklings! Like Earthlings. Plus it's funny! Makes me go he he he inside when I read it.
ADLO. ADvanced Little Ones Still has little one in it. They're not little anymore. Sounds like kindergarteners taking calculus. Or a command in Assembly Language.

About Zombie-gases fumigating from Inklings ... Not sure about it. I'd stay closer to the idea that Little Ones wound their prey with their fingernails and then either infect it with some stuff under the fingernails or with slime (bile, spittle) by licking, 'biting', spitting the wounded at the wounding ...

Just as an aside: We wondered why Little Ones have self-inflicted scratches: maybe it is just a natural reaction of Little Ones to scratch themselves when their skin is stretched (stretch marks) due to mutating effects, 'cause stretching skin might cause itching everywhere ... This would not answer, though, why Regulars have showed self-inflicted wounds as well ... Another idea could be: self-inflicting by accidentally reacting unctrolled to the infection:

Correction of your correction, unless someone beat me to it lizzy says that these must be the ones angel saw at the base he called them little ones. Something like that I can't quote it word for word. Which is what skittles called them he said word for word "I think I'll call them little ones". That is all.

Lizzie said it, sticking to it.
Skittles said it, beat Lizzie to it.
'Name doesn't work', says Victor, screw it.
I'm calling them Inklings, now everybody do it.
