Chapter 42-2- Chasing Ghosts

[Litmaster]

Pretty sure they found him at the flipped over truck. Don't think he crawled away and hid, he just stuck at the truck, shooting at anything that decided to try take a bite on him...

The left side of the gun truck seems to have taken the heaviest blow. Pucks damage is also to the left arm. These are consistent with him getting out of the building and getting into the truck and the driver side being rammed by the big one. We hear no mention of the other soldiers bodies, so my guess they did not make it out of the building. It is possible that they did get out and were dragged away, but that is not the impression I got from Puck. he says their dead, not they got dragged away. So, myguess is they died in the building, or are still inside with so many biters that there is no way to rescue them like in Alliens 2.

This is quite possible, but I am wondering: where they heck were all the rest of the zombies? They should'a been pouring outta there like bees from a kicked hornets nest! (Ok, smartass, I KNOW that bees and hornets aren't the same thing and don't share each other's domiciles. I merely made the stylistic choice as a writer to not repeat the word 'hornet' twice within such close syntactic proximity. It would be bad form, clunky, and, frankly, would sound like shit [the sentence, not the kicked nest. the nest would probably sound like BZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, followed by "Aaaaaaaaaargggggh!!!"] But I digress...)

One other exchange I found particularly intriguing was Burt and Saul. It was touching, but what I was really drawn to was Burt's

"It is my choice."

These are the same words that Tanya used when speaking to CJ, right? I know she said them, but just a little fuzzy on to whom.

That's also the words Burt chose when ending his booze hiatus at the Tower party... remember?

Can you clarify point 5 for me please? I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at. On point 8, we might finally see a use for Riley being a “Pro Archer.� If she can bust out enough of those windows and get a few burning arrows through there, it might even the odds a bit.

There may have been 3,000 originally but don’t forget we have evidence that zombies are dying off due to starvation (unless I imagined that, it’s been a while). If we assume that the “normal� ones are susceptible to starvation and that the only food source may be other zombies given the contained nature of the facility, there’d be a whole lot less than 3,000 left to contend with. Plus, the enhanced Z’s of various shapes and sizes may be nomming down on the regulars in absence of other meal choices. Either way, it evens the odds!

Well, keep in mind that the blue text in my earlier text was just pasted from an L.A. Magazine article, so I've never actually seen the pods myself. I image the obervation booth being some clear glass control booth, at the intersection of 3 or 4 branching hallways, each lined with cells. That would give the single guard an unobstructed view of every hallway. Oh, and good point about the dwindling 3,000. Still a hella lot more Zeds than people, though... and we're losing 1 or 2 every episode!

"- are there no other humans left on the planet? No signals on ham radio at all?"
A lot of that was covered in Season 3, so there most likely won't be any external world influences or discoveries. Are there others? Most likely.

AND MEANWHILE, OVER IN BOSTON... !

Do you guys think Scratch will ever come back in to the story, becasue she was important at one time but at the same time she could have left. I just think for some reason it will show that she never comes back, just to show what a true to life story it can be and also throw us for a loop. What so you guys think? maybe they will concentrate more on the z for once.

They are going to bring Tardust in as a consultant to supervise their fertilizer bomb project...

Either Scratch will return and kill most of the characters or Osiris will return and kill most of the characters himself due to Scratch's absence.

Heh heh... he must be hating life ever since she dropped out of the story.
