Chapter 46-2: Under Pressure

Not quite the same thing, but Ink did not attack Lizzy, Saul and Burt at the Ambush site in the rain. He observed them from a rooftop about 100 meters away.

Something else that is significantly different. Both The Tower and Dunbar armored their vehicles. Latch & Scratch cruise around LA in a convertible ( I presume with the top down ) without or low on Ammo. The next day, Latch, does shoot Charlie. So, this begs the question, why go without ammo the day before, or where did they use it before running into Burt, Lizzy and Saul?

Last, the big one at the jail chases Puck outside, but then attacks the new gun truck built at Dunbar. Presumably used heavily by Victor, CJ and Saul.

But what was it that attracted his attention to Burt's armory?
And this, too!
=> These leads me to the assumption that "something" maybe be different with the people from the Tower.
Best wishes!

It's hard to tell, but I think that Ink was banging on a different apartment door. Even if he wasn't, the apartment he was trying to enter was occupied. As Burt, Micheal and Saul reach that floor they determine that the sound is coming from around the corner. When asked where his apartment is, Burt says that it is around the corner at the end, east-facing. When they turn the corner, they see Ink banging on the door near the end of the hall.

While they are arguing over what to do, Burt says that his apartment is on the other side of Ink. Ink points to the floor above them when asked where the survivors are (What an honest guy. That's rare during the Apocalypse) while he tries to enter an apartment. After Pegs arrive, she tells them that most of the survivors hid upstairs but a few were in the room where Ink was trying to enter. After entering Burt's place and discovering the ammo missing Saul asks Pegs where were the others, and she says that some of us were in the apartment that ink was trying to get into. She didn't say, "Some of us were in here." which is what she would have said if they were hiding in Burt's apartment. They discuss the missing ammo and food when it is pointed out that a key is needed to enter his place.

Valid point. But this would also wipe out Ink's chances of becoming a James Bond villian because the sterotypical Bond villian sends his minions to liquidate in the first movie hour before he (or she: do not forget Sophie Marceau!) tries to kill Bond by him-/herself.

The fact that Latch and Scratch travel about, seemingly, without a care always bugs me. They even travel to the Tower alone, at night. Burt or Micheal says they were scoping out the place, and later when Ink arrives, Ink seems to KNOW how to keep his back to the camera.

What also bugs me is when Kalani was at Dunbar. As Ink and his minion invade the tower, Scratch tells Kalani that the invasion of Dunbar wasn't good enough, he'll find away and he better start running. What's that all about? Is she scoping human's for Ink to harvest?

Ahhh, not necessarily, my friend. I'm sure Ink has some sort of elaborate, overly complex execution plan involving the tunnels for our heroes' demise.

That does makes a lot of sense. Let the strong survive/survival of the fittest.

But then, if he did let the strong survive, wouldn't it be easier for humans to defeat him? Hmm.....

Speaking of which, I hope he remembered to set up some nice traps, too.

Yea, the mass attacks do seem to have a nighttime or rainstorm bias. Not perfect correlation, but...

Pretty sure Ink DID attack Saul, Lizzy and Burt, he was just observing them until they noticed that Ink was watching them. Although, on the other hand, he could of just attacked them in retaliation to being shot at.....

Otherwise, those are some interesting points.....

Yeah, after they shot at Ink, he called others. This was the first appearance of the Runners (Super Fasties in Skittilish)
