Have you noticed this?

Radon Labs was a German gaming company. But with KC's penchant for mixing a few of the numbers in unit identifiers or leaving them out (like with the 10th Mtn Div) maybe this could be reference to Raytheon type company. Raytheon is a defense contractor that mainly deals with electronics, weapons and the like, but maybe in the story has something to do with the outbreak.

IDK I do have a habit of reading to much into the story (my helicopter tangent for example).

Or it could be a fictional company like Locked and Loaded

Yeah I was assuming it would be fictional if they are implicated in the Zombie Apocolypse (law suits and whatnot). I thought that Radon Labs was a legit thing then I realised that I was thinking Raytheon and that's where my connection is drawn from.

Ok, thanks.

Datu / Michael / Angel. My bad. I "know" that.

Granted, they found Burt after a couple / few days. But, Burt says his shop was raided before he (Burt) got there

I get the impression that Scratch used the confusion of Z-day to spring her Brother. My guess, Zombie Rampage. Scratch robs Burt's store. Scratch goes to Eastern Bay. Burt gets to his store. Zombies get to Burt's Store.

Believe me, I am not tryinig to nitpik. I am just trying to make sure I did not miss something that might be important. I enjoy listening to the stories. But, I also spend a lot of time Rumminating on lose ends.

I am pretty sure that Riley says she had shot A gun, but she does not remember how. Granted, an Archer may come across gun people. But, to say you do not remember. That seems overdone.

Multiple zombies from Raydon Labs. I did not get that impression, but I can go back and check.

As you say, Raydon Labs could be a red herring. But, I also think that the best story writers plant seemingly unimportant details that are often overlooked but come back to be important later.

So I am expecting Raydon Labs and CJ and other fragments to come back and be important like Michael's Arm and the other bigger ones.

Here's what you have to remember too Sir Arthur:
Burt's "small" safe was hit by a Professional. This hasn't been proven nor disproved by KC but the general consensus is that the Mallers didn't sit on their hands once the break out jumped off. It's been theorized from the beginning that it was in Durai's personality type to be proactive (which has been proven as fact now).
So, you can guess that one of the first places they hit was Burt's shop. The handgun (which by the way is called a Firearm while Carbines and above are called Weapons) that Scratch had is a from the shop.
We know for a fact that Skittles saw the "bad people" raid the reserve armory as well.

Burt got to his shop after it was emptied but just in time to get trapped by the infected.

I was listening to my newly arrived CDs and I had an "AH HA!" moment! So, I noticed something i hadn't...er, noticed, a few times before.
Here goes:
I know why scratch holds the position of influence she does.
I think its on disc 6, but it's the episode where Scratch and Latch are talking and trying to figure out what lie to tell to Durai.

Scratch is number two because:

- She not only freed her brother, but she freed ALL of the remaining prisoners.
-That means that Durai owes her a debt of gratitude.

I know who (being the operative word) fired "The Shot Heard Around The World" and is possibly the "Rat."

- "HE" lived on the 3rd floor (where the shot came from)
- He was on guard duty shortly before Saul came motoring back after his recon of the Mallers
- He is unnamed because Angel doesn't remember it. He just remembers who the guy was and what floor he stayed on.

The enhances the "Red Shirt" theory.

[Grognaurd]

Yes, it is my impression that she Hit Locked and Loaded to get a few weapons. Than makes it to Eastern Bay to free her Brother (and the others of course) When I try to game it out, I can not get the zombies to hit Eastern Bay, have the mallers escape, have the mallers cross back across town hit Burt's safe before Burt and the Zombies get there. I think "The Weapon" taken from a safe mentioned later is not from Burt's same safe.

The way I see it, Scratch hits Locked and Loaded. Scratch crosses town in the infancy of the zombie outbreak and hits Eastern Bay just before the Zombies get there.

I am not following the rat idea. We know a shot came from the third floor. The person may not live there. No clue about the Guard Duty / Return of Saul. No clue about Angel

What I will point out is that Ammo was at a premium in the tower. There are not a people who would have access to common supply of the tower. Indicating to me that they had their own Stash.

The Tower had just been robbed blind. Ammo would not have been at a premium for the thief (and assuming Bill wasn't the thief and was just a patsy). Whomever stole the ammo would have access to a metric shit ton of ammunition...relatively of course.

[Grognaurd]

OK, got it. I came with the Bias that Bill was The Theif. I can not easily place a duplicate Key with anyone else but Bill. If I stretch it, Datu may have his own copy in addition to the one in the key case that he plants in Bill's room. Or, Burt seemed to have befriended Bill and repaired his shotgun. Maybe Burt stole the key at that time.

Bill could very well be the thief, but the possibility exists that Bill was set up from the beginning. Remember in addition to Burt and Bill's friendship that seemed to have formed, Bill had been sick leading up to The War and had people coming in and taking care of him. Anyone of his (unidentified) caretakers could have swiped the master key from Bill. Again, this isn't fact, just opening up another possibility.

[Grognaurd]

Good Point! I forgot about where are my cucumbers

If we remove Bill as The Thief, who do we have left?

Numerous Minor Characters
Pegs
Lizzy
Kelley

If we define
Thief == Rat == Shooter
Pegs
Kelley

If Rat == Shooter. We
Eliminate Victor, Tanya, Hope as suspects
