Chapter 40-2 Monsters

[LiamKerrington]

I'm moving more and more into the camp that Ink knew something was coming and was preparing for it. His not crying out/screaming or otherwise acting terrified that monsters were attacking him adds to that thought. The symbols of his tats or something injected into his system (or a combination of things) some how made him turn differently. My thinking at this point is that it has something to do with chemicals and Roberts' work at Raydon. The ink pens used for the tats had some Roberts special cocktail in them. The tattooing led the cops to kick off another investigation at Raydon, thus the new (and still up) police tape on the office. The special cocktail in Ink now interacts with the zombie "stuff" and makes one very special zomboid....

Ok, crackpot:

William I Roberts was an eco-activist fighting against fracking. He found out that at Inglewood "Hell" would break loose, which is why he developed a cocktail of medical stuff that should help him to get past a fracking explosion or something. Because he had access to some geo-information devices and scientists he had a decent idea about when things would probably start to blow up. So he tossed this crazy mixture into his bloodlines and down his throat. That drove him so crazy and mad that he lost control over his mind and he went on a killing spree ... Thenhe was put into custody. And when he was delivered to the court, the nightmare he prepared himself for broke loose - the Fracking facilities at Inglewood exploded and created the first spawns of the zombocalypse. And the bitter irony of all this shit is that Ink was successfully avoiding death, and the mixture of medication combined with what he wanted to fend off made him more powerful - although, admitted, the Inglewood-side-effects were handed over to Ink by three zombs. So his "eco-enemy" (fracking) made him even more powerfull ...

This would be an incredible spin off for "Toxix Avenger" ...


Best wishes!

Just for the record, the OJ Trial was held at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, which is where the high-profile cases are tried in LA County. It's located at 210 West Temple Street, downtown Los Angeles. It's about 5 miles from Inglewood. The only thing we've seen so far that might be near the Courthouse is the Water Works, which some sources guess is located a couple of blocks from the Courthouse (but that location has never been confirmed).

Which in return means: Ink was turned into a zombie when the zombie-onslaugt was already in its at least 2nd hour or something ...

HOLY SMOKE GUYS! 10 pages already? The episode is only 4 hours old.

Yeah, after the start of season #4 we just needed a couple of episodes to get back into forum-activity-shape ... And here we are ...

Who says they can't breathe there?

Its assumed.. Because no activity there when Saul and Victor were there as mentioned. With the bodies still laying around and not moved like everywhere else.

Indeed! Was it truly an earthquake? Or was it some subterranean event that mimics an earthquake? An underground facility of some kind? Or a natural gas pocket that's slowly shifting?

Good question. The guy they spoke with on Lynnwood avenue didn't feel it. They are relatively close.

Thou canst not stop us, thy fool, just try! Thy brain will be eaten by Ink's army before thou wilt even be close to us...
Or not... But yeah, it's crazy! I love it though, always nice to read others thoughts about the latest episode.

I hoped there would be thousands of dead in the courthouse. Like most people up and died without the time to run away. As it stands now, where did everyone go? When Manhattan was evacuated on 9/11 there was sea of humanity in the streets. Think of all the square footage stacked up in the skyscrapers and then forcing all the people into the limited area between them.

We have seen hundreds of biters, not thousands and even if it was thousands, they are not going to eat millions. That is why I keep going to the ant theory, most of the colony is underground. Sigh, but that just begs the question where did they go underground.

Good point about the ant theory. They don't attack there own and they show deference towards others like Ink and smart ones.

The first few episodes were never meant to be "Theory-riddled", more or less to take care of the pieces left over from the previous season, and start to set up the last one before we made that 4 month jump. So, as much as people were like "This is slow... blah blah." it was entirely necessary before we got to these moments.

Its assumed.. Because no activity there when Saul and Victor were there as mentioned. With the bodies still laying around and not moved like everywhere else.

True, but I feel it might be a mistake to think that "we" would react the same as "them". That doesn't give much of anything away, or hints, just "helping".
