Colored and Marked and Tattooed Ones Oh My!

The more I think about it, the more it all fits together. We have the Colored One, who kept a stronghold of biters and food at the arena (he also like to play with his food), then we have the One in the Pin-striped Suit, who actively goes after the threats to any biters and seems to be creating or morphing biters in Cain General. I think they have two factions that don't actively go after each other.

Think of this, Skittles says that the Colored One is in the Arena. Pin-Stripes shows up at the tower and at a further west point on the map. Colored One is Tattooed from head to two (most likely). Pin-Stripes can pass for a human (i.e. the tower mistaking him for Paul). The Colored One was at the Arena when Datu and Kalani were rescued. Pin-Stripes was in the Tower when the rescue team got back from the Arena.

Two biter factions in two different locations. We need a territory map for their area. Also, I believe that Pin-Stripes came from Ground Zero and that the Colored One is Bill Roberts.

When I first listened through, I thought there was two. But when I listened a second time I noticed that the one who went to into the tower was wearing a pinstripe suit AND was covered in tattoos. Skittles describes the one in the Arena as being colored, and coming from someone who has lost his mind, surely that means the same as tattooed.

The thing that I'm not sure about with the one with the markings is why he didn't call in others to take the tower, because Kalani said that is what happened with the other tower.

Maybe there all becoming a super zombie, all eating each other, draging there zombie dead back to arena etc, and merge there bodies with live humans to become bigger and stronger?

The issue is that Pinstripes is the one that is covered from head to toe in tattoos, not the colored one by your assessment. And Skittles has changed his description to be The One With the Markings vs. the Colored One so we once again talk ourselves into a circle because nobody in the story can just use the same damn descriptive terms for this guy/guys.

Way back when, I did some math to figure out how fast The Man in the Pinstriped Suit escaped the tower using the distances Michael called out, and I figured he was capable of traveling 89 miles per hour. Kc, however, shot it down saying we were getting a little crazy but the math doesn't lie....unless of course Michael is that bad at figuring distances.

If *insert your preferred name here* can actually travel that fast, he'd be capable of beating the rescue team back to the Tower after the events of Purgatory. And can you just imagine it? Some dude in a pinstripe suit doing the sickest Parkour through L.A....that'd be awesome to see :)

I think KC said shot you down because time was meant to be slowed down in that section. However, if he has some super strength and dexterity, then runnings not too much of a stretch. Also, if it can in fact run faster than the average biter, that would explain how it gets to be in so many places.

That's what I figured Kc was doing, but I wasn't accounting for the time Burt was aiming. I calculated from the time Michael called 100 meters to 300 meters which was approximately 5 seconds (11-1 10:50-11:00 to get the before and after). Its usually pretty easy to tell when Kc starts using bullet time.

Though, now that I just relistened and timed it more accurately using Audacity, it's actually 6.2 seconds, meaning the man escaping was traveling at 74.5 mph away from the Tower (119km/h for the rest of the world) which isn't humanly possible. But once again, it's all down to the accuracy of Michael's calls of the distance.

So here's the equation: (v=t/d): 200m/6.2s= 33.33 m/s.

As I pointed out when I first did the math, think of it this way: Usain Bolt can't even do a 100m dash in 6.2 seconds. So even if Michael's distances were off by 50 meters or so The Pinstriped Suit bro-seph was still running faster than humans are capable of (record fastest sprint is 26.7 mph from what I can find)

.....I think I owe both Mr. Shelton, and Mr. Wheton apologies. I apparently will indeed use math and physics outside of high school....

Nik and everybody else, I didn't think about this at first. What if Pin-stripes has similar traits to a jumper, meaning that he can fly across LA without needing to touch the ground more than a few times. Kc, If I'm making a crackpot theory please tell me... oh wait, you probably won't tell me considering you let me create one about Kalani ( I still think its right), but I digress. If Pin-Stripes can jump like a jumper, then he could very well make it to the Tower seconds after the rescue team shows up.

I still think that there are two different Master Zombies because the behavioral pattern of the two are completely different. Pin-Stripes uses traps and infiltrates. Colored One/ The One with the Markings collects "food" and played with it in the arena.

As far as we know, jumpers could not go that far. Sure, one jumped from building to building, but that doesn't mean he can cross LA with a couple hops. And yes they're fast, but they're as fast as cars and cars couldn't get you to destinations in seconds. Plus, I'm pretty sure it's physically impossible for a human to be that fast.

The behavior pattern is what I was mentioning on WND 21. That's why I think they could be different, but if it's just the same guy it wouldn't shock me either. Everyone has different facets to their personality, stands to reason the zombies would as well.

I love a good mystery!


Creem, I think what th3_t3ch was suggesting was the ability to leap across the city in multiple bounds. Even if they could only jump 50 feet laterally, it would be quicker than driving because you would avoid all the obstacles in the road.

Interesting. When talking to Skittles, Angel says that he didn't see the one with the markings, but Burt, Michael and Saul did. I'm pretty sure that he was there when they first met "it's Paul". Could this be a loophole/inconsistency?
