Chapter 39-3 Chemical Reactions

A few more thoughts for the wall:

Jail tats... I don't disagree that some of them may have been self administered, but what about his back and the back of his head?

Kelly... Did she ever mention her field of specialty in law? Litigation? Family Practice? She said that she's pretty good at reading faces. Sounds like a good skill for a criminal prosecutor, do you think she might have been one? Even the District Attorney or Assistant District Attorney THAT PROSECUTED BILL ROBERTS?

Ive been thinking that for a while... that he was experimenting pre Z-Day, but failed because human biology couldn't support the radical changes he was trying to force. The chemicals in the Inglewood haze and the zombies on the other hand gave him what he needed to eventually succeed.

I think I might have mentioned it back in one of my first posts. I say might, because looking up my "Archive" is omitting my first eight posts. THIS one you may find of interest though.

Any gases that would have leaked would have long since run out and the high winds that can sometimes kick up there would have blown away those gases a long time ago so there wouldn't have been anything left there to choke on.

Not necessarily... Yellowstone National Park as we know it, or rather the caldera that makes up Yellowstone, was formed in a super-eruption 640,000 years ago. To this day it is still "active" with hot springs, geysers and venting volcanic fumes.

I agree that something from below ground was the catalyst, but there is something or several somethings greater at play. Simultaneous global release for a start.

I wasn't going biblical, but I like the analogy. I meant that the murders weren't really murders per se....'just' experiments. They are the (what we presume to be) 12 little ones. He had them hidden somewhere, and when the haze broke out, they began their evolution process and came to Ink's aid....something crazy along those lines

Ah. Gotcha. Well, how about this for industrial strength tin foil: Randy as anti-Judas to TOWTM as antichrist? *dramatic music*

That is what I am saying, Yellowstone fumes and geysers are from the earth, not man made. If the haze from ground zero was coming from a ruptured man made pipe or something, those chemicals need to come from somewhere. After a year of leaking I doubt there would be any left. But coming from inside the earth like we have at Yellowstone or other active volcanos, it could be releasing gases indefinitely. That is why I don't think Raydon, or any other group, has anything to do with ground zero and I'm not sure ground zero has anything to do with the actual start of the outbreak. Perhaps it may even lead to human preservation. They did say not even the biters will go near it right? Maybe whatever is leaking at ground zero could be used agains the zombies?

the problem I see with Kelly knowing anything about bill Roberts, or the case, or William Roberts is the fact that she knew nothing of raydon labs...that high profile of a case, she should know something. yea, its allllmost peculiar that she doesn't? isn't it?

theres a thread floating around here somewhere that goes into the mystical and biblical comparisons...I really don't know where it is or id link it here. I wanna say eviebae started it though, if that helps...good stuff there.

Hi everyone, my first post on the forum which I know should go in the introductions section but I just couldn't keep quiet about the latest episode!

so here's my theory....

Dr Bill (Ink) Roberts is/was a bit of a mad scientist who lost the plot - henct the police tape at his office.

He was conducting experiments into {dont know what yet} and doing tests using chimps. These have 'changed' into the little ones due to the testing - hence the numbers on them, they are their id numbers from the lab!

This is also why Ink is still in charge, he's their "daddy"!

Everything went tits up, the chimps kicked off and their bite turns humans into Z's.

Sorry for brief sentences, I'm typing this on my phone while driving but i nust listened to this episode and had to share my thoughts!!!

The story could break either way, but would Kelly hold back now when so close to a break through? Seems really dangerous. However, could you name the profession of the father of ANY high profile murderer?

A: speculation on "father"
B: police tape
C: it wouldn't make sense for her NOT to recognize the name. Guess we shall find out.

Re: Kelly - if she were on the prosecution team that convicted evil Mr Ink, then it's a good bet that she would know a whole lot of details about his personal life. I would expect that to include his father's name and occupation. Especially if Ink had done any sort of experimentation, etc on his victims... Just my $0.02 there....

Not that I'm buying into the "Kc is going to bring everything back to the Bible" idea of where the show goes, but he does have a thing for meaningful names. And Isaac has pretty definite meaning in Jewish, Islam, and Christian religions.

Isaac had 2 sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob was given a new name by God - Israel. Israel was the patriarch of God's chosen people, the Israelites. Israel had 12 sons - each becoming the head of one of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Isaac's other son, Esau, was the first born and should have been the more revered of the sons, as such. Two things happened. Esau basically gave away his birthright to his brother for a bowl of stew. Later, an aged and blind Isaac was tricked by Jacob into giving him the paternal blessing instead of Esau. Jacob did this by covering his arm with wool. This tricked Isaac into thinking it was Esau because Esau was known as a very hairy man.

So Isaac, father of 2 sons. One is a real hairy guy and the other had 12 sons who where to start the lineage of God's chosen people.

The rest is left as an exercise for the reader... :D

I had this thought as well; generally laboratory animals might have some kind of identifying mark tattooed in an easily accessible place, like the inside of their ear. It seems reasonable to me that maybe Ink was experimenting on these people (who may or may not be Bill Roberts' serial killer victims?), and needed an easy way to tell them apart. We already know he's fond of tattoos...

I thought this too when I first listened to Lizzy's account and then skittles saying that they moved funny. Long fingers...

Something that I tried to post the other day, but it didn't seem to work.

Something struck me about the description of Raydon Labs right at the start of the episode. Michael seems to go to great lengths to describe it as a plain white building, with the only patches of colour being covered up graffiti. It seemed like a strange amount of description to me, and the covered up graffiti interests me- could there have been some sort of attack/ protest at the site? something relating to Bill Roberts/ the police tape, or something to do with the sort of testing that was going on in there (i'm thinking sort of similar to animal rights/ GMO protestors or something??)

In which case, maybe Kelly wasn't directly involved in the Bill Roberts case, but perhaps had some involvement in the trials of protesters?

Do not forget that Isaac had an older brother. Ishmael. He would go on to father another great people. He was a great archer.

:tinfoil:

Honestly, I hadn't thought of the building description like that. I just assumed it was in a kinda bad part of LA with other industrial type buildings. Those types of areas often have less police presence and big flat white surfaces attract graffiti artists like moths to a flame...

Plain white building is the architectural version of a plain brown wrapper. Someone doesn't want to advertise what's inside. But the graffiti thing... Very good idea.

Yep that is a good point with the Graffiti.. Did not think of the possibility of protesters. I was thinking on the same lines as scbubba.

This would help the 'police taped off for a year doesnt make sense' argument, in that if Raydon was COMPLETELY shut down due to PhD Ink testing and protested outside of until it WAS shut down. Or something along those lines

This would also help with the little ones being former animals theory.... Maybe the Graffiti was from animal rights protestors? Protesting the experiments going on inside the building?

I don't remember them crossing tape to get into the office so whatever happened in the office happened after the rampant destruction there. So, maybe, he came back to the office after his escape or someone else broke in to get him what he needed.

It's a mystery--"Zombies He Wrote"

Or possibly Radon Labs was still under investigation for something and Bill Roberts was just a piece of that?

If Raydon was completely shut that long before I doubt it would sit untouched for a whole year. Also anything that wasn't taken into evidence would have probably been reclaimed and moved/sold by the company; so there wouldn't have been pallets of 'butt cream' in the warehouse and paperwork all over the place. Also there would have likely been a sign or police tape at the front entrance rather than just on the one office door.

I still agree there could have easily been a protest or something but my bet is that it would have happened at a much later date. I am not 100% convinced that Dr. William I. Roberts is the same as Ink but assuming it is, then perhaps a protest happened when details of Ink's trial became public in the media. But that would have been later after the arrest, investigation, long waiting period etc. So it may have only been days/weeks before Z-Day rather than a year.

And with that last post I moved out of Lurker status. YES! I am now Fresh Meat... not much of an improvement but I'll take it haha

Hi everyone, so now I'm back at my laptop so I can really go to town on my idea (s)....

I'm sure I read in one my Z-books that Formaldehyde (sp?) damages healthy cells but preserves dead cells, hence its used on corpses to keep the skin looking half decent. It also toughens the skin....

MAYBE... Ink is now trying to develop an army of zompanzees (I'm claiming that word!!) and in an attempt to make them bulletproof he's having Randy & others raid Raydon Labs to stock up on formaldehyde?

Bit random I know, but when I heard that the smashed bottles in the bag were For*****, it got me wondering why Z's would want formaldehyde, and then I remembered the thing about it being a skin-thickener...

Oh, and I think I heard someone mention "jumpers" and "climbers" in the latest episode? Reminded me about the latest Planet of the Apes film (can't remember what is called, but the prequel one), where the apes free themselves and it all kicks off on the bridge - climbers and jumpers.....

Probably a load of crap, but isn't it all speculation?!

Thanks for listening!!

Oh - and I've not said this yet, but I LOVE the podcast! I live in the UK and I've told tons of people about it. :yay:

Something popped into my head do to the contest. Someone will have to correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't one of the effects of K18 or the "FO" one was harder nails? Isn't there something in nail polish that strengthens nails? Chloroform that Micheal made the 1st time was with nail polish and Lizzy was overly exposed to it. Crap.. Suddenly I lost my thoughts on where I was going exactly do to typing on a phone is slower then a keyboard. Hopefully that might trigger some idea for someone else.

Nail Polish is lacquer and can be used to protect the nail beds, several coats can strengthen the nails. Some varieties do have formulations that are intended to strengthen the nails and are marketed as such. The ingredient in Micheal's chloroform was nail polish remover or acetone. They are essentially the same thing except nail polish remover tends to have additives like moisturizers, dyes, fragrances and odor reducers. (Do note that there are some removers that are acetone free.)

Finger nails are made of Keratin... Stands to reason that part of the body changes during zombification, is the drastic strengthening of the fingernails. This further explains the part of the Devil's Workshop scene when Kalani and Riley discover they are walking on the litter of fingernail trimming and they are loudly crunchy.

"Ugh, was someone grooming a Great Dane in here?"

Trying to resurrect the Reptrivia area. Just created a new quiz that should go live soon. It is an easy one to get things started again but I will try to get a new one up each day. Go check it out!

Randy Roberts? ... Sounds kinda silly. :)
But yay, thanks for this. I hadn't even got around to googling Isaac. Definitely interesting. Just makes me even more sure about Dr. Roberts being the father of Ink. Not sure Randy is his brother, though... If that's what you tried to say.
Even though it might not be what Kc's been thinking I still find it interesting to find such parallels. :D
So... The inklings are both sons of Israel and homies of Jesus...

Oh - and I reckon Lizzy is going to have a zom-baby....

Well, if we take the parallel far enough, the Little Ones perhaps become the Pharisees and Michael Cross plays the role of Messiah and comes to set them straight. In the process, Cross gets killed but his death starts a new movement that eventually supplants the existing "order" with a new grassroots movement. Cross lives on in the pages of the several books and letters which are eventually reprinted and shared with everyone....

Nyah... it's been done....


tl:dr - Michael Cross isn't Jesus

i just pictured a heavy-set zombie-woman with extensions in her hair, chewing gum loudly, and shaking her head back and forth as she's filing down the nails of some zombie clients.
"Gurl, these nails be looooong! Whatchu gonna do when they break and i ain't around to trim them no more, huh? Dat's right. You gonna have to go back to Mr. Ink, and we boaf know how he been trippin' lately."

in the analogy, the Numbered Ones would be the 'offspring', 12 tribes of Israel, and Esau's (Randy's) group would be fighting against them. right?

i don't know, i'm still not sure of how the connection/non-connection is with Randy and Ink. They could be in cohoots, in a shaky alliance, of at war with each other. But according to Saul's observation: "They don't attack each other, do they?"

oh, how i'm REALLY excited for the 18th. honestly, i look forward to Mondays now.
