Chapter 34 It Only Takes One Part 3

We don't know if gatekeeper already grabbed the phone from Glen's shack yet. The night before the civil war at the colony is when gatekeeper said he could retrieve the sat phone. Victor may already have had the shack's phone in his possession. Meaning they only have to get Lizzy and Burt out. All of this falling into place seems too good to be true. So either one of the three (Lizzy, Burt, and phone) get left behind. Or Saul, Victor or CJ don't make it out alive.

There is also the possibility that Victor and Lizzy don't get a chance to rendezvous with Saul and CJ.

For all this talk about the location of the SatPhone, it'd just be silly to have brought it with the, especially of they needed to bring the guts back anyway. It'd be an obvious and unnecessary risk.

And in response to Voodoo's timeline, that is exactly what I'm saying. Its too little time for Scratch to do it all. There are other ways of course. Another Telecom expert could be in the colony, Glenn could have gotten the number off the phone and provided instructions remotely, Glenn could have repaired the dialer, but nothing else (to explain the lack of response on the other end). The last one poses an intereasting possibility, in that it presents Michael with an impetus to go to LA, without much information as to what would be going on.

Maybe the LA team had two SatPhones?

As for using the colony as another base, I don't see that happening. There just isn't enough room, and to leave defensible, sustainable Irwin for a crowd of ramshackle buildings around even more mad zombies seems unthinkable.

Unless Irwin goes boom and were again left with a squad of people on the Pelican going back. That's the scenario we might be headed for.

Alternatively, rolling back to someones note earlier, maybe there is a bunch of humans out to Sea. Its been a while, but it was dropped that Kimmet was looking for Pacific ports...

The timeline I know is that Victor arrived, chatted with Gatekeeper, rollcall, gunfire. There wasn't a break for Gatekeeper to grab the phone, I don't think.

From what I remember Vic is running after Liz, Gatekeeper is at the van with Saul and CJ. So the only people left is water van driver.

Didn't Victor hide at Gatekeeper's place for a day to give Gatekeeper the chance to organize things - like putting the right guards into the right place? Would have been a chance for Gatekeeper to also get the parts from the shack ... But I guess this item-trade would have been covered or mentioned somehow ...

Victor was in Gatekeeper's house for a day. Gatekeeper spent a day getting the word out about the plan to overthrow the Mallers. The time passing was told in a narrative by either Saul or Victor I believe.

Gatekeeper said "it shouldn't be a problem. I can get it tonight after dark" in regards to the sat phone. The civil war broke out the next morning. Gatekeeper did have time to get it. Whether or not he did is the real question.

Wow, when you're wrong, and damn, was I wrong I guess! I stand corrected. It is a possibility then, I Suppose!

Right!!! Forgot that. Then Vic must have it already, then he will probably only need to get a pick up with Liz.

But on the other hand the possibility that they got the phone, Lizzy, Burt and made it back to the safehouse with Glen without any problem or casualties seems too unlikely in the world of KC.
