Holy Cow have you guys opened a can of worms with that one!
My only question is about Kalani and Hawaii. If.. and a big IF at that- LA was the epicenter, how did Hawaii get hit earlier and worse?
I may be wrong about "Earlier" but that's the impression I got from Kalani's story.
The Climber's corpse isn't going to be there. The creatures are scavengers and cannibals. They've been dragging anything with meat on it back to the arena (presumably).
There has clearly been a progression in the creatures behavior. I'm of mind that they're evolving, BUT... I also feel like they're different "Breeds" so to speak (Behomoths for example). Experiments in human evolution? Patients at the crazy house the test subjects?
I'm pretty sure the Lab would have its power off grid. They'd have to in order to keep any prime specimen from being destroyed by power outage. Can you imagine the CDC losing power? Yikes!
The infections isn't airborne. Proof is Kelly's nephew.
