Haha, thanks. No need to spell it out like that, though, I just needed the Word.

Where to start with this.. Datu and his Badass Gun.. This will be an interesting build to follow.. But yea Why do they not reload ammo.. Its easy I am sure there is a crap load of places they can get powder and bullets and yes eventually they will run out.. Just like they have with their current ammo supply..

With Glenn helping him maybe it will turn out to be something really good for them.. Compressed air is a bitch. High enough and it can slice you in half.

Yea for Potatoes..

Looks like in the last 4 mths. Pegs and Michael have stepped up a notch..

So Raydon is a Pharmaceutical company. This will be interesting next chapter..

I wonder what Victor's foul up was that is causing Michael not to want him out.. Another Mystery..

Well Seems Kelly and them did know about Tonya being bit.. Which brings me to the possible sad part.. I almost got misty eyed for Saul when he was talking about the baby and Lizzy.. Maybe she can do an MRI if they can get to one and determine if they have changed internally yet. But would explain back in the old theories about them being slower turners and why Saul could breath back at ground Zero.

Saul almost recalled Raydon. I wonder if it would have made much of a difference if he did. Other then recalling Burt said they were smart..

Kelly at Dunbar.. That was not expected.. But least we may get more peeks into CJ's files.

On Happy Note. Tanya will move in to help with the delivery of the baby.

But I hope Tanya will learn they have the virus but its not changing them. Its been how many mths since she was bit and Saul was shot with the pass through bullet?
I am not sure how this one will play out.. Their levels still are not super high yet. Maybe they will not turn but could turn others with their blood.. That would be interesting.. Like on 28 weeks later.. The wife carried the virus and was immune but could infect others.

Gonna relisten to this at home tonight while I reload some .357 Mags.

Yea for Potatoes indeed!

Think about, Mata-Gun with Potatoes? Pota-Gun! Dangerous.

Just wanted to help. You are a blind listener, right? I just did not know how well the readers work. Have fun with it

i'm sensing a "Prometheus" (Alien Prequel) scene when the main character has that automated C-section done of the alien in her womb. crazy scene.

Saul is a hero in this story, and sadly, it looks like he might become a dead one.

and yeah, i'm waiting to hear about Victor's screw-up.

Oh, I definitely am. Only thing I had to do to get the spelling of the Word though woul be to hit Q until I'd get to the block quote with your post, then arrow Down to get to the line where you wrote the name, and then just use the left/right arrow to spell it.
Thanks for helping. Hehe.

Damn!
Saul and Tanya showing signs on infection is throwing me for a loop.
I've always been a proponent of the family immunity theory and I still feel mostly certain that things are going to turn out alright for them. But I'm starting to get that small little twinge of doubt that this could turn nasty before the end.
There is one thing sticking in my mind. I remember Saul noting in Chapter 28 that the zombies might not even be able to survive the haze at Ground Zero. So, if we do end up seeing Tanya going there to test the air and she ends up being immune to the effects the way Saul was, that might be an indicator that their high Keratin 18 levels are signs of something other than slow infection.

As for the whole Keratin 18 thing, in general. I only took a quick look at what it is, but what I found is that it is a molecule found in epithelial tissue, and that it is sometimes used to detect circulating tumor cells in blood.
So I'm thinking maybe the high levels of K18 in the blood during the first stages of infection could have something to do way the zombies skin thickens.
And circulating tumor cells just makes me think of how the behemoth was full of tumors. I'm no sure, I'll leave the rest of the digging to our resident researchers, but my mind's tingling.

THIS!WAS!EPIC!!!


BTW, anyone WHO can tell me how to spell what ever Tanya was measuring in the blood?

Keratin k18

Wow, still no sign of Burt and Riley. Not sure how anxious I would be to reconnoiter Raydon Labs. Scratch separated the fighting force once before with nasty consequences. They are spreading themselves thin between the colony, Dunbar, Raydon Labs and where ever Burt and Riley are. If Michael has even a tiny amount of command and control with them, I would want a sit rep and give them a heads up at the least and combine efforts if at all possible.

Now we have Victor's foul up to add to Micheal's arm, and we haven't even learned about Calvin's Noodle Incident from 20 years ago.
