Chapter 29-2 Beyond Our Walls Part 2

I'm of the impression that Irwin will send people to LA. Michael is intel. He'd be the perfect guy to send in to check out the source of the outbreak. And from there, you could see conflicts arise between the mallers and if the colony is moving in on LA or not. or whatever might happen.

Very true. Michael probably has more knowledge of the situation than the army does. He knows about the arena, pimp ass zombie, and the fact that the 'zombies' somewhat follow orders. Also sending Michael to LA could be his way out of the army. But there would be no reasonable way for him to get to Boulder and to his one and only Pegs.

Did anyone else think that Kimmet was lying when he said he knew nothing about the "cause of it?"

I certainly do. But for whatever reason, every time I relisten to this very informative conversation between Kimmet, Michael and Puck, I keep thinking back to the scene between General Jack Ripper and Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake from Dr. Strangeglove. "I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids."

I don't know why. I don't think that a zombie invasion (or fluoridation of our water supply) was a communist plot, and maybe it's just that Kimmet's tone and Sterling Hayden sound alike. I don't think he is telling Michael all, but since Michael has essentially been placed in a need to know position, alot should be coming to the light shortly.

I'm a little shocked that Puck didn't know, or couldn't figure out, that there were hot spots outside of the U.S. before everything went silent. What would have been the secrecy behind that?

[Bonnonon]

Is anyone else secretly hoping the plane gets to Boulder and the place is overrun? It would keep the group together and make the story interesting...

Translation of Kc's Real Meaning: "You Chair Force guys are all a bunch of pussies!"

No. I didn't mean that at all. Of course, they all finished behind the one army guy in my engineering course, but that was another time...
But seriously, mad props to the REAL Air Force and there was an Air force crew working the plane the group flew out on, so they are there too.

I'm new to the blogging in general and I'm just getting my feet wet.
I think that they will find a cure or antidote and then use the ability that the zombie in the suit has to control the other zombies in the rebuilding of America and the world

With that said, I am going to re-edit my submission to the Timeline that once read, "-all branches of military are working together (save Air Force which was not mentioned)" to now say "-all branches of military are working together"

Of COURSE that wasn't an intentional slight at the Air Force. Just saying...

my step daddy (whom I've placed on a very tall pedestal) and love deeply is a retired Chief Master Sergeant in the USAF after 30 years he's still the greatest combat baggage handler in the history of the world! Yeah! Air Power! (grins)

[Osiris]

Chair. That reminds me of something...

Was it you?



I feel like the air force would be weakened most in this scenario. There's no real need for F35s and F22s, when zombies are your main enemies. A chopper could do the job using less fuel. Maybe UAVs? Cyberwarfare is no longer existant, and satellites... Wait shouldn't satellites still be operational?

I think the only USAF units that would be extremely valuable in this zombie-scenario would be Pararescue. They are among the few legit badasses of that branch of service (they and Combat Controllers, but you don't need air strikes unless you have planes, right?). The whole PJ mission revolves around saving downed friendlies behind enemy lines... really interesting job. Total respect for those guys.
