Chapter 33-3 Red Winter

[Wilsas]

Hmm, in going to hell for this, but maybe ft. Irvin can't reach Boulder because Hope is the only person in comms room there?
I can totally see her going at her milk bottle cap radio:

Radio: This is Boulder, please respond.
Hope: Hello? Yes, this is Hope, can you hear me? We are under attack!
Radio: Anyone can hear me? Please respond.
(*optional)Zombie: Rawr. How you doin'?

Holy crap! Just finally listened, oh man oh man i was on edge during that autopsy...but what the hell was michael doing for the two weeks since the recovery mission to the autopsy that he as the head intel guy hasnt read that report yet?!

Kc spoke about this earlier in the thread. He didn't read the report because it had just arrived with the body from CO. It wasn't explained well.

Arrived with the body, okay I got ya. Thanks for that.

ain't no thang. I came here to make the same comment of "WTFBBQ" but I saw the convo earlier and was like "oh....makes total sense!"

Hmmmm.... yeah, my suspension of disbelief was really stretched in this epidose... really? He didn't read the report all this time? Really? Griggs Longnails begins his strike at precisely the time of the autopsy / funeral? Hmmmm... a bit too convenient, if you ask me.

Yeah, regrettably even I have to agree with that. There was a structure change near the last minute before recording on the 7th draft and there's now a little hanging chad that I don't like that got left over. I will be doing a small tweak on this before the remaster. The story will be the same. I only mention it because I too agree that it feels a little sloppy.

So is this an admission that Boulder is indeed under attack by Griggs as an ADLO?

The timing of it sure is coincidental, but I don't find it odd. Sometimes things just work like that. But I did read into it and assume that if Boulder was in fact under attack from biters, then perhaps Griggs (as an ADLO) followed the Black Hawk as it left the Chinook crash, arrived near Boulder, then got a little lost. Then when the chopper departing Boulder for Ft. Irwin left, he heard it and was able to finally close in on Boulder. That would account for why the attack seems to coincide with the funeral?

Some wild theories here but unsure if this has been mentioned before but could this be related to some forms of Sclerosis? Hardened leathery skin, tough bones, abnormal heart/organs, weak teeth.

Plus white pale skin - Raynauds Disease can be associated with sclerosis and maybe why the regular zombies are slowing up in the cold temperatures.

Also related to Raynauds Disease is Vasculitis, which Is the inflammation of the veins or arteries, and is more common in females - I wonder if all the little ones are female?

These conditions are autoimmune diseases and as such can be spread between people by microchimerism - this may be how the infection is spread from one zombie to another human or from little one to advanced little one

Anyway - Wikipedia is great from random theories!

I thought we agreed we'd call them Inklings. What's with all this ALDO crap? It sounds like dog food!!

I suspect people will consult webMD next.

[Blood & Ice Cream]

Nooo! Inklings make them sound cute, whilst these things are quite the opposite!

I suspect people will consult webMD next.

Goes off to investigate.....

It IS dog food ... I stick with Lizzy's wording: Little Ones; also this is what they are named in the Wiki ... Don't wonna mess around ... It already is hard to cope with all the different theories ...
