Chapter 21- "Mark of the Beast" - Part 3

You do put them in hangars (that's why they have wheels) so don't beat yourself up to much

Yeah, and I guess what I meant is if they were trying to land / take off they wouldn't have been in a hangar.

I was thinking it was in a hangar as well, there was an echo while they were checking it out and I just assumed that they were in one of those huge aluminium hangars

Another question is; Who was in the helicopter? Military/coast guard personel or just some survivors taking a gamble trying to fly a chopper like the tower is trying to do?

I like the Durai theory. Either he took it out after they found it drenched in carnage, seeing as they didn't need it for his plan. Or he was trying to get it for the Mallers and all hell broke loose and they ended up accidentally damaging it. I can see either scenario happening so don't want to plant my flag in one just yet.

Anyone else get the feeling this episode told us more in a subtle way that maybe we haven't all picked up on yet. Gonna listen a few more times.

For anyone interested I think the Helicopter that's mentioned is the Sikorsky S92. I'm not sure what the Coast Guard designator is but Burt mentioned that it was "Big, one of the bigest that we could have hoped for". Unless anyone else knows better I think that this is the biggest bird that the USCG has... unless it isn't the USCG (cue the suspense music)

You're close, but it's not that one. The exact type will be revealed later. The reason for the echo, is because it's rather large on the inside.

I am a bit worried that it sounded like Saul left his bag in the ground to run to the helicopter. If they have to make a quick get away, he might have to leave it behind.
Note that they say that the blood etc is all dried up. That means a day or so, depending on how warm it is. Also with the bodies all gone it means that the zombies have been there to clean up, but before or after the arena... I guess before, but who knows. Wonder if there were any footprints or drag marks in the blood. Anything to indicate how long after the fight the bodies were removed, also if there were any survivors etc.

Also, I like that this was a quieter episode in terms of 'action', much to ponder for the next couple of weeks. I also agree with the earlier post, I think so much of this episode will end up being more significant then we first thought.

Blood isn't gonna just wash away with rain. Have you ever tried to clean up blood? You need cleaning supplies for that..

That piques my intrest KC... I'm gonna guess MH/SH 53 then? If that's the case I'm excited that it has USCG markings on it... Plot develpoment then? (Or I just didn't know that the USCG has them lol)

I've never been so pissed off at the end of a "We're Alive" episode. Not so much that I didn't enjoy it, more like I was expecting a bit more resolution in regards to what happened to Lizzy and the other two. I guess I've been spoiled by having twenty full episodes to listen to (of which I got through in about a two day stretch) but these one - two week breaks between parts is brutal.

Anywho, looks like they aren't going anywhere soon and in regards to the helicopter being shot up, maybe there was a struggle for control of the helicopter at one point but then they were ambushed by the "zombies" or there are "zombies" that are now capable of wielding weapons (guns, etc.) or perhaps it was just a case of gunfire during the seemingly bloody ambush.

Even though this was used by the U.S. Army, if it's a large helicopter I'll take a guess (after some googling) that it might have been a Sikorsky S-61R or a Sikorsky MH-53. It sure looks damn big =P
