Chapter 23 Pt 3 - The Devil's Workshop

[nikvoodoo]

The only flaw I see is how dedicated to Scratch the mallers really are. The Scratch/Pegs thing is personal. I can see some of the mallers being pissed that they are going off plan and potentially risking there lives to go swap one prisoner for another.

I agree. In fact, I'd expect resistance to the idea from just about every Maller she's with.

I also expect Scratch to gut the Maller that tries to stop her, especially if Pegs is within striking distance.

EDIT: Why would a helicopter roll of the roof. I wouldn't have thought it had wheels?

It's on top of a roof, at least 16 stories off the ground where the wind can blow it around. It need to be held in place and the blades tied down so a strong wind doesn't damage it.

All of this is completely true. I came to post it, but was beaten to it (damn you HardKor).

There was a lot of love for Brick(s) here - perhaps him interfering in a trade resulting in no-one being turned over to the Mallers would be a fine way to either give him a heroic end or bring him into the tower?

When he switches to the new channel he does check if "nest" or "vulture" are listening before trying to contact Durai (although for the first radio contact he kicks off with "hey") which struck me as significant but I don't know why. On a tangent from that Kelly goes to the trouble of using Saul's codename but then gives out his location in plain speech?

I get the feeling that Saul only really contacted the Tower to double check what channel they were using, not to tell them he was actually coming back. That is why he changed quickly then double checked. He did pass on information, but it was secondary to his confirmation of channel.
I have a feeling that Saul is going to go for Pegs 'with' the Mallers (whether bluffing or not) and then the second chopper from Cain will land back at the airport and all kinds of crazy will go down.
Remember that Saul doesn't necessarily know that Burt etc have left the airport so he may expect them to still be there to back him up

I'm with you on the 'all kinds of crazy' going down. I could see a showdown between The Mallers and The Residents beginning but interrupted by an attack by the Zeds culminating in Scratch and perhaps a few of the surviving Mallers being taken aboard the chopper as either prisoners or refugees.

If Saul's plan is to take a whole bunch of people to attack the mallers when they come to LAX, what is to stop them just shooting Lizzy. Saul may be reckless, but he isn't going to try something that stupid and risky to Lizzy without some sort of plan.

[uuhhhuuu]

Did anyone else catch the part mentioning about the hospital having a mental wing to it. and that in the beginning when Lizzy was checking the tivo, the news said that they were moving a convicted felon nicknamed "ink" to the mental hospital and thats when everything started to happen(the riots)?!?! i just thought this point should be brought up a bit. i have a feeling this will come back in the story.

He doesn't seem to have any plan beyond finding Lizzy.
