Chapter 38-2: Unity makes strength

Thanks for the clue. Lol.

I'm soooo glad Burt and Riley took off without saying anything to anyone. I wonder if Burt took the 50 cal with him or left it once he finished. I love that he played CJ for the fool to find out where the cameras and traps were before leaving.

... Burt and Riley took off without saying anything to anyone. ...

Which is quite the contrary to the title of this chapter ... I wonder who's gonna leave next? The survivors thin out on the survivalists ... So who's gonna survive?

Ok KC, when will we get the Mike's broken arm story? Don't make us ask the wife.

Oh, I'll just tell you what happened right now: Michael was reaching through a door when - I'm sorry my phone is ringing. OH! It's Elisa.

Pegs, you got to know better. If you plant potatoes in winter, you can already harvest them in April! Damn it, Pegs.

What kind of organic farmer are you?

There is a history of characters talking a big game and failing to deliver on execution. She was a florist. Do we have any evidence that she really knows anything? I am not an expert on this, but I think I remember an estimate of 1 acre of an established garden can feed 10 people. Figure an acre is about 220 feet by 220 feet.

I do not want to nitpick every little thing in the story. I am open to a lot of disbelief slack, but I do look at patterns and talking big and failing to deliver seems to be one. So, I am stuck with not knowing if it is a bug or a feature.

Nah, my comment was partly ironic. I would have loved a "... but we've got some cucumber seeds" reference though.

Tanya's work reminds me of some of the stuff we did on deployment. Granted she had little else to do, but she sounds like she went full meticulous on transferring the journals over to digital copies.

And yes, Michael is interrupted from one story to start another... and then--- grrr! It's like I'm a deer, just prancing along and I spot a little brook, I put my little deer lips down to the cool clear water... and BAM! A f***** bullet rips off part of my head!

I wouldn't be surprised, if Kelly already has recognized him. Remember: The suited guy was in the Tower ... And the Tower-people met him or recognized him on different occassions. Words spread as fast as zombies in a zombocalypse ... Kelly knows him and probably has recognized him in Tanyas words.

Best wishes!

Yeah, you're probably right. I was writing based on a debate I had, in my own head, over whether or not Kelly even knew about TOWTM. I think I concluded that it was likely that she did. When you over think things it's easy to forget if you actually verbalized your thoughts to others or not.

Or it's foreshadowing the fact they aren't staying together is weakening themselves.
