Chapter 42-1 Chasing Ghosts

[tonyhind86]

Maybe Ink had his house booby trapped?

I say it was the Mallers that got the jump on the gun truck, Scratch has the other soldiers hostage and will start shooting them if Puck doesn't call for help. Then just what Michael and crew show up, and it is too late Admiral Ackbar will jump up and scream "It's a trap"

It would make a huge coincidence if the Mallers showed up out of the blue right after Burt and Riley return - 4 months of searching for nothing, and at the same time they're back the Mallers also return? But, at the same time, it could work i guess, but then it might shorten the story down a little - who knows, besides Kc and Blaire?

The title of the chapter suggests it. "Chasing ghosts". Riley and Burt spent 4 months hunting for Scratch and co and found nothing. Then suddenly, they return to the fold. Kinda has an ironic twist to it in my opinion.

Is it the same prison the mallers were at.they said they were going to see where ink was held.

Dont believe so, no.


This wait between episodes is killing me... Geting ready to hit the play button on Chapter 1 - Episode 1....again!

Sounds like KC introduced a new character. His name is Murphy.

I've met Murphy. He's a sonofabitch.

Makes sense, considering Puck's cold reaction to Datu. Even it he was them get taken he may think and even believe they are already dead. Was his favorite movie ever mentioned? Aliens by any chance? (p-p-p-please k-kill mmmeee...)

Whoa. WTF was I trying to say here? I proof my posts 2-3 times before I hit send and this got past me some how... I wasn't even drinking either. Let me try again:

Ink was not at a prison, Ink was at a jail... So no, not the same place.

[Footbutt]

keep in mind, NONE of the Army guys that went to the Jail had ever seen Scratch, Tardust, or any other Mallers. (right?...)
i'm sure they know OF the Mallers and Scratch in particular, but to just start shooting a "Normal" without a conversation happening seems unlikely.

i can see the Mallers taking advantage of a "first encounter" with Puck and the Boys.
and i'm starting to believe that Puck is just assuming that all the others are dead, be the scenario of 'shots fired and no response' or be the Mallers/Ink/Randy getting the drop on them and hauling Robbins/Carl/Muldoon away.

If the mallers were at fault, I would expect Tardust to have constructed a booby trapped door. This kills two when they breach the door. A sharpshooter kills the man on the .50 cal. This leaves Puck to escape the kill zone.

If it was biters, I would expect the ambush to occur inside the jail. Separate the soldiers from the .50 cal. Inside the confines of the building the Mata gun really suffers. Its extra long barrel is a major hindrance in close quarters. Hell, an inkling could pick up a biter and use it as a literal meat shield to charge the gun.

The inklets in Denver attacked the communication center providing an information blackout. They also attacked the air port thus hindering reinforcements and escape. That is a pretty high cognitive function. I hope Puck's will is still his own...
