What was that deep humming bass sound, as if machinery was running, that was audible at the arena the whole time?
Sooooo, Saul is having a LOT of trouble getting the behemoth to acknowledge him and chase him. Hummmm?????:tinfoil:
Now, before everyone jumps to conclusions that he is immune from zombie attacks like Datu seemed to be at the windmill, keep in mind that Inkling #8 chased after him in Chapter 36, "Scorched Earth."
Then again, #8 was no ordinary biter. It was a bad-to-the-bone Inkling.
However, the thing at the hospital might not be a run of the mill behemoth either.
I have no freaking idea where I'm going with this. So, speculate away, guys!
If Saul and Tanya are 'invisible' to zombies (i.e. zombies don't look at them as prey) then they will be an asset, if Datu..... you know.
Where do the tunnels lead?
The church in Pasadena is on Cordova, which runs East-West. When they enter the tunnel, it forks and they turn left. This path leads them to the arena, which would be South or South-west. The other tunnel would head towards the North or North-East.
UNLESS, the original passage was going South-east, in which case they would have to travel in a very long counter clockwise direction, Northwards, in order to get to the arena. So, it seems likely that the other passage heads North. Not in the direction of anything else in We'reAlive-verse.

[For the love of all that is good and WA-related, could an admin kindly move this damn post to the main thread?! I have no idea why the hell it keeps ending up in a subthread, replying to a completely unrelated post. HULK SMASH!]
I finally had enough free time to listen to the episode.
Wow. #13.
As a father of 3 with a pregnant wife, I found that scene rough. Imagining myself being there, seeing that, and knowing what it meant wrt Little Ones, kind of put me in a murderous rage. I don't mean that I became a real danger to anyone, of course. It was just like what most dads experience when they have nightmares or scary daydreams about bad people doing bad things to their families.
Word to the wise: Don't eff with my wife or kids. I don't look like much, but I'll rip you limb from limb. :mad: :hammer:
The discovery of how the Little Ones came about was depressing, but the good news of the episode is that the ability to create new Little Ones requires the existence of other survivors.
Oh, so in chapter 9/10? Might check it out.....
I just would add that when Vic and Tanya ran to Inklewood they were attacked as well. But I can not recall precisely how that went down. Did Vic shoot before it noticed he and Tanya? Or was it Greedo who shot first? Maybe it was Han. Ponder on this I will. With answers, I shall return.
UPDATE: Disregard, Tanya had an itchy trigger finger. Nothing to see here, move along.
We definitely need more sharks and tornados in the story. EOF.

I don't remember any scene like that. The only ones that come to mind are:
- Randy and his magic bad of Raydon Juice.
- A zombie at the arena dragging a dead body.
- A zombie at the arena dragging a barely living girl or young woman.
- Zombies dragging living and dead bodies towards the hospital in "The Devil's Workshop."
Possible location of interest in that direction........ California Institute of Technology!!
Ink using the school's research equipment and materials for his experiments???
A point brought up in the WA Fancast regarding the Little Ones turning victims like-for-like. I remember a soldier being turned by a Little One at the crash site - I'm sure it took a lot of bullets to bring it down (they mention that the skin turned tough almost immediately).
My query is, if a Little One turns a victim into another Little One, does that victim also have the ability to turn other victims like-for-like?
The location with the second grade breed of Little Ones ... Them zombos know their turf and tunnels and trolls; and it is unlikely that they did not smell Michael, Victor, and R2Da2 - especially not with the cologne Victor used in the place. So why didn't they follow this trail? Because they have more important stuff to deal with - feeding the babys ...

Just an assumption ...
But I ground this on the idea that the survivors really have no other lead remaining. What other location except for Cain Hospital do they really have in order to plan future actions against them zombies? I may be wrong, but I don't remember any other way than this dark tunnel of sinister pittyness ...
Best wishes!

So theoretically, Ink only needs one Little One to start the entire process again, therefore highlighting the signifigance of the number 13. But because number 13 appears to be dead, seems like he needs a new baby to begin the process.
That brings me back to the theory about the 2nd tunnel possibly leading to Cain Hospital. Perhaps Ink is waiting for the baby to be born, and the treehemoth (aka Doomsday) has been posted there to ensure that none of the survivors can escape.
Maybe, but maybe the original Little ones are stronger than the ones they turn, or are easier to control? Or, he could be trying out a new concoction, that makes a even stronger version...?
I'm leaning towards the new concoction idea. If he simply wanted more Inklings then he could just turn the present ones loose. Perhaps that's what he did when Number 9 attacked Roman at the elementary school, and again when he unleashed the Inklings on the Colony in 'Scorched Earth."
However, if he is trying an entirely new thing, it wouldn't be too surprising based on what he has done so far. In no particular order... the behemoths were Trial #1, but they may have been uncontrollable. Trial #2 could have been more manageable behemoths ,like the ones seen at the arena, and the ones that attacked the Colony. Trial #3 could have been the other special types; runners, jumpers and the Thrillers (i.e. the dancing zombies from the un released musical episode). Trial #4 could be the Inklings; strong, loyal, and under Ink's control.
The reasons that I wonder if the zombies were carrying pregnant women to the hospital, when their 'army' converged there trapping Burt, Riley, Angel and Kalani, are that:
- If Ink was going to start again then he would need babies. If he was going to scour around for pregnant women then his chance of finding many are slim to none, considering the zombies are trying to eat everyone.
- If there were any pregnant women amongst the live people being carried to the hospital, then they may have a due date similar to Lizzy's, e.g. they could have been impregnated around the same time, circa late June to early July (The time of Purgatory)
- Ink's first step with creating Inklings probably involved women already pregnant. These babies were obviously born shortly after the start of the outbreak. A new step could involve turning babies at or prior to conception.
Of course, (Hold onto your Tinfoil Hats:tinfoil:) If none of the above pans out and Ink just needs a baby, then Lizzy's would be prime target. He could have seen that she was pregnant during his attack on the Colony, OR he's in cahoots with Scratch and she told him. (I really don't know why I keep thinking of an Ink-Scratch connection. Perhaps it's my way of accepting why the most annoying character could have a purpose on this show. #MorePegsLessScratch )
So, what would happen if, say, you dumped a whole lot of paint over Ink's tattoos? Or, like on the fancast, you tried using the signs for your own benefit? Say, getting them to all run off a cliff?
If Saul and Lizzy's kids inherit the immunity; does that mean down the road it humanity could become resistant?
I know KC can just pull other human experiments from thin air in his created world, but a thought crossed my mind. After the mallers got attacked by the arena didn't they leave a horse cart full of "slaves" behind with Ink?
Well, the survivors would have to know what every symbol meant, in order to use one that says "jump off a cliff". We know Datu understands what each symbols means to a zombie, but he doesn't know the symbols until he sees it, and there is no way of finding out what the symbols mean as it will cost Datu more of his life every time a symbol is seen....
Hi.
Very good thoughts. I still tend to think of a fourth option - as disgusting as it may seem:
4. The resource "pregnant women" might not be necessary, if in the early days of the zombocalypse Ink and his army were able to collect just the substitute "women". We have learned that Randy tried to capture Tanya without harming her, and with the latest news we have learned about new reasons why Randy and zombs had attempted this; and we have no certainty about the fate of Samantha (or, wait: didn't Kc tell us she was dead? Would someone verify/falsify this information, please?)). We also know that them zombos are not undead or reanimated dead bodys, but most certainly they have remained living creatures with fully functional biological activities ... The implication of this should be clear ...
As for Lizzy's baby: I have read all the thoughts on this one. And I have no clue how this could happen: I have not considered Lizzy's baby being in a real danger. But now: Guys, you seem to be heading into the right direction. And with the Devil's Workshop at the same location the fate of Tanya, Lizzy, and Henry seems to be sealed ...
Best wishes!

^Yes, Samantha is dead. though, i can only assume it was Ink's doing when Datu "looked away".
Lizzy and Saul's baby is a very sensitive plot device. a newborn is the essence of innocence, and right before a pregnant woman as 'the most vulnerable'.
i have NO idea what will happen with Henry/Saul Jr., but what i do know is that KC is a fantastic storyteller and whatever the fate of the couple and their child, we can rest assured that it will be well thought out and awesome.
I said back when Tanya wanted to take her to Cain that Ink would show up and take the baby..
The stage is being set. While Michael, Victor, and Datu have concluded the evil plan of Ink, while Lizzy and Tanya are all on their own near the Devil's Workshop, because Kelly and Saul are busy with the Treehemoth. I see this now. And it makes a lot of sense.
And yet I have one trouble with it: Maybe Ink has learned about Lizzy being pregnant somehow-ish - at least when he attacked the Colony the last time. But how would he get hold of the baby when it is there?
- Either he must have prepared some kind of major attack on the Colony, then: where is this army, and how does Ink provide it with enough food?
- Or he must have had a magic crystal ball telling him that sooner or later Lizzy (and some other zombie-food) would have come to any hospital in order to give birth to the child. Ink seems to act on a lot of well thought through plans; but collecting the baby now seems to be the result not based on his efforts, but on mere coincidence. Am I the only one wondering about this?
Anyway: I totally agree with anyone stating the Kc is an awesome storyteller and -writer. And I am certain that in #44-3 and later on we will be very well informed about what is going on in WA-verse ...
Best wishes!
Liam
With the information that we have received, if the left tunnel path led us to The Arena, then the right tunnel path would have to take a pretty looong detour to get back around to Cain Hospital.
I think the Right path is going to lead somewhere else completely different. Like I stated a few posts back, maybe Cal Tech???
I don't see Ink stealing a baby anytime soon..........
If anyone is going to make a play for Lizzy's baby I think it has to be Scratch....... We have already started to see her get woven back into the story....... We know she has a radio........ and we have seen previous interest in Lizzy's pregnancy from her already!!!
I think Scratch will somehow get the baby....... that will be the Cliffhanger at the end of next episode.......
Then there will be a hunt for Scratch and the baby, somewhere during the Scratch hunt more info about Ink's location and evil doings will pop up!!
Everyone seems dead set on someone taking the baby. Have to admit, i think it too, but i'm having doubts Ink will be the one....... Starting to think Scratch might pop in. I mean, she was re-introduced in the other chapter, and then disappeared. She will be returning soon....
i randomly thought about Pegs and CJ, they are in the chopper (which has been disarmed, right?) help setting up the remote sites, but how will that play a role? will they return to the Colony only to find Scratch and Tardust waiting for them?
or will it be another Season 2 Finale-esque ending where Pegs is bringing in the "Option B" to help save the day?
gah! so much left to tell and so little time left!
Scratch could swoop in and take the Baby. I will be surprised if she does. But it is a logical theory too. She does have an interest in the baby, She does have a Radio. But her getting the correct frequency is going to be hard. Unless she captures someone who knows their frequencies. Or Sneaks into the Colony and listens to the Answering machine.
Maybe Saul, Tanya, Lizzie, Baby and Kelly Make it out of there. Michael, Victor, come out unscathed except for the Soul torn part where they had to stick the needle into Datu before they get out.
But I now think the meaning of Life and Death is. The Death of Datu and the Birth of Lil' Saul.
