Oh god, Datu can understand the zombie glyphs.....But what was that pain he experienced? His brain changing to understand the glyphs?

God damn, what an amazing GLYPH hanger...... get it? ba dum dum tssssh

Wait... if the shopping list that Randy dropped was really a coded address, does that mean Randy was trying to HELP our heroes find Ink?!

Maybe he just accidently left it behind: the list was there before they arrived at Raydon, after Randy was there, and after they found the chemicals from Randy

Hmmm, another new looking Behemoth, thats also covered in Tattoo's......wonder what it could be.... If it looked like it was covered in tree bark, it probably was keratin overgrowth, like Tanya said.

Wonder if they are "pre-Behemoth" or "post-Behemoth" tats?

7odd, time to pull out your Brocca Brain stuff...

We have kicked around te idea that the biters might have a special language. There is no reason a contagion that turns someone into a cannible may not also affect the language center of the brain. We have called it a cognitive disfunction. Pulling in a few diverse threads...

We have speculated that the line from Chapter 1, now that Riley has warned them in their own language, they probably understood that crap was prophetic/foreshadowing.

Kimment says the only way to detect the infection is by autopsy. We have speculated that, this must be a change in the brain morphology. If there was a change in another organ, we can cut someone open and check with some surgery. But, brain surgery is still in its infancy and people do not fare well when we start cutting there.

Did the little ones ever really say something? If we have some people infected and some not nfection, they might hear it differently. So, just like us, was that a ghostbusters EVP or just wishfull thinking.

We get to Datu, what he writes down after the first attack and when he tells the story to Michael, Randy's (?) speech changes in the different chapters. Seems like as Datu had more time to think about it and gets a better understanding out of it as the "infection" progresses.

Even the statement of Tanya to Saul, you cannot turn a frog back into a tadpol. Maybe she saw the beginnings of these changes in Wendy's brain morphology.

WE really did not see anything at the Raydon Labs location that would warrant a level three ID. We have speculated that there is a second facility somewhere that held the big bad stuff. Remember, Michael said the first ones he saw were bruised and scared. That does not describe the general populace. Led some of us to speculate they were escapees from somewhere.

Yes, anyone remember this poor man?

He eventually had treatment to remove most, if not all of it.

Also, Tanya mentions the condition she's seen in rabbits (It's called Shope Papilloma virus)

Forgot to mention..

Saul had a Voice over. So does that mean anything about his survival? Its been awhile since we heard one from him.. It throws out my theory if he dies.
Since I still think the people still doing active voice overs survive this..

[Gooer]

That was my first thought....

If Datu can read it, then get Saul and Tanya's ass over there and show them the picture.

There seems to be hope for him after all.

No one besides Viktor knows Tanya and Saul might be infected.

just want to say this in big print.
notice the correlation to datu's brain hurting and his reading the address. that's important.
big post coming tonight. lots to talk about
