Hi there,

so, this episode goes deep into military-customs. Compared with what I knew so far this was a lot. Thank you very much.

Prediction mode:

1) The little one gets back to Irwin. Will Kimmet let Tanya or whomever work on it? Or will Michael and friends be quick enough to get it to Tanye, before Kimmet could stop them? Maybe, at least, some toilets will receive some cleansing with toothbrushes ...

2) Soldier amiss: Did he break the restraints? or was he able to unlock 'em? First case: he is a Zed, second case: how likely would it be that he was able to flee from 'em beasts? Considering their hunting-abilities and the turning speed I wouldn't go as far as saying he got away. It is more likely that he is either another little-one on the loose (more likely) or he was the little-ones' lunchtime (less likely). And if he is on the loose, how likely would it be for him/ it to reach Boulder? That again heavily depends on three factors: Do little-ones retain the knowledge of their former lives, and/or how much luck in finding or stumbling over Boulder should be involved, and/or do little ones freeze being exposed to low temperatures for a longer period of time? Q1: I guess so, Q2: maybe they have some kind of basic understanding of direction, Q3: one little one was attached to the Chinook for quite a while before it was able to breach the hull, which implies: no, they do not freeze even if exposed for a longer time.

So: #33-3 cliffhanger could be: Boulder under attack? Too far-fetched?

All the best!
