Chapter 21 - "Mark of the Beast" - Part 2

@J0be, I don't think he's a slow turner, because if that was the case then a scratch or an open wound would have been mentioned. He's covered in bruises but bruises wont turn you. He just seems like a good way to wrap up the mole issue.

Just playing the devil's advocate. But remember the person Victor described as having a gash on their foot. (Or am I merging Pegs with someone, hmm.) What I'm saying with that is maybe he's infected in ways not that visible, eg: Tommy was infected without wounds. What if Pippen was forced to become infected? It would be an insidious move by the Mallers to force infect someone, and then get them to get inside the tower.

wait! Tommy was wounded... sort of. He had a cut did he not? Even if he was infected he'd have turned already and he wouldn't last long enough to do any damage. They're on alert in the tower and everyone is in Dirty Harry mode right now.

True, but the Tower is not filled with pull the trigger and figure out the details later types. As much as Burt would like it to be. They still want to help survivors.

Nope. Tommy did not have any wounds. The infection was spread through his eyes and/or mouth. Also, this could be engineered as a slow turner, not a quick one like the most we see. Also, his mission could just be to take out the commanders (eg: Michael, Angel, Saul, Burt, etc.)

Slow turning would be a random act. I'm going back to listen to the tommy epi again.. i coulda swore he had an open wound of some sort.

Arkum.. you trouble maker you!
I think the Tower folk have grown up a bit. They're a bit more "Seasoned" after the War.

We don't know that it couldn't be engineered. Bwahaha!

[HaveCrowBarWillTravel]

LOL... granted..

@ j0be that's my problem though, if pippin was a slow turner, and he did turn at one point, it would be totally random, there wouldnt have been any hints to it. I'm sure the twoer will have a run in with a slow turner eventually but i just think this guy is for the mole storyline

Maybe, but while Michael holds the key to the kingdom I don't think they will be turning anyone away or headshotting randoms either.

I mean they just met this guy, he admited to being with the Mallers and they still bring him right upstairs. How much have they really learned?
