Chapter 39-3 Chemical Reactions

Because he so slow it obvious that he would be surrounded by the ladies, zombies. They like their meal with meat on the bone.

I think the scariest thing is how the evolution of the Little Ones is now copying characteristics of the characters on We're Alive. The one that died at Raydon Labs attacked in a fashion that seemed to be modeled on how Saul and Victor fought the Behemoth in 25-1, and it was described as having grown very wide, which was clearly an homage to SPC Anthony Robbins.

I was think the same. Maybe we called these Robbie?

Well damn, it looks like I went and caught the research bug.
I've been looking into myostatin and the first thing that comes up are articles and forum posts related to bodybuilding. Specifically all of this is related to inhibiting and/or blocking myostatin in order to promote muscle growth. There's also an abundance of supplements out there that claim to inhibit myostatin (though most of them appear to be either outright bogus or, at most, have a very minor effect).
Myostatin inhibition also appears to be something being explored to combat muscle atrophy from conditions like muscular dystrophy and cachexia (the severe weight and muscle loss suffered by people with AIDS, cancer, etc.)
So there seems to be a lot of research going on to inhibit myostatin (follistatin is one of the inhibitors being explored, by the way) but I can't seem to find any research revolving around promoting it. But I'm definitely starting to feel like finding a way to promote myostatin is going to be key in beating whatever Dr. Ink is up to.

As far as Ink's roll in the outbreak, Puck sums up my thoughts the best, "In the back of my head I was thinking this place had something to do with all, you know? But we're nowhere near ground zero."
I don't think that Ink is responsible for the outbreak; at least it seems unlikely that he would be such. The info we have says that it's geological and the special Zs are a product of other factors e.g. something at Raydon Labs and ground zero itself (Kalani's account states that strange creatures were coming from there.)

What gets me is, what does Bill 'Ink' know and when did he know it. At this point all sort of theories that I've read in the forums jump out all at once.

• Is Ink some sort of mastermind creating the special zombies?
• Is he an intelligent zombie with a trace of human decency who is actually trying to find a cure?
• Did he know about or start the outbreak?
• Is he part of a doomsday cult?
• Are there more than one person that fits his description?
• Is he even turned?

I noticed that everyone keep said that this use to cure this or cure that. Could the infected be people who have a cancer or similar illness? Now that I think about it, Kelly's nephew had something and was a quick turner. The reason why it spreading so easily is that Raydon is a pill company that Bill tamper with a batch that cause the outbreak. And the gases at Englewood could the result of the company trying to ridden of chemical as quick as possible but it when horrible wrong. The reason that some the zombie are dying is because of the tumors and cancer that gone out control.

Glad to have you back. I hope my crow feast did not contribute to it. I still think formic acid is important. Randy, most likely, spread some out on the floor. The soldiers open the cargo doors letting the smell out and guess who shows up to spring the trap?

Thyroid, eh? Ripping out the throat to eat the thyroid?

I'll continue with the csi stuff...any raydon/ink/g.zero talk I wanna stay away from. (at least in the chapter threads). And yea, I'll put together my forensic report tonight when I'm actually at a computer...but all this can be put together nicely...i think we have all the legit info we need to put a bow on this thing.

This was, in my opinion, the best scored entry in the WA canon. I felt the tension in my chest the whole episode.

Looks like my support of inklings was a better choice of advanced little ones since they aren't little anymore!

I had the absolute elation filled moment similar to when Harry Potter read the note from R.A.B. when they entered the office. I nearly giggled out loud like a school aged child on my train ride.

It's been a very very long while since I've truly cursed Kc for leaving such a wicked cliff hanger... But damn you!!

I still think Randy is a good guy. Let's not forget, we still don't know Randy and Michael's history. Maybe Randy is leading Michael to evidence/the truth?
