Chapter 33-2 Red Winter

[Adventureless_Hero]

I believe that the type of zombie Spec. Robbins was referring to were the "normal" type zombies that were roaming around Boulder. Those type are susceptible to freeze, however it seems very clear that the Advance Little Ones/Big Little Ones, or as Witch_Doctor called them, Inklings (fucking love it!) have a thick hide that prevents them from freezing quickly, if at all. Keep in mind the Inkling that was in the tree, #2, had waited some time in the cold after the Chinook crashed.


P.S. I move that Inkling be the adopted name for a full grown Little One. Fucking bad ass, simple name for them.

Then add to it the numbers are the ones TOWTM got right. Sort of like a Super Solider. I like. I like.

This would be a nice combination of the Frankenzombie theory (which I hate with oh such much passion) and the idea that TOWTM is "breeding" a new form of zombie to be perfect. And like hero said...Devil's Workshop.

I'm also on board with this, being that I didnt like the frankenzombie theory either, but this is a good/interesting compromise.


My theory based off some of my previous comments and replies to them, is #2 is not dead, more like unconcious-Alien-taken-to-Area-51-in-Independence-Day style. He'll (sorry, SHE'll) get transported in, hidden, brought in with Tanya somehow...most likely careof Carl and Puck assisting behind Kimmet's back. Once it's in the room with Tanya...locked in of course, it will finish out the grandios wake-up, killing Tonya just before they lay waste to it. They all go inside and discover the strides Tanya made with the toe/bone-marrow and Kimmet finally loses it realizing what he's up against and relieves himself from duty because the zeds had something hidden up their sleeves....This is what 'changed it all' according to Michael in the earlier episode to open this plot structure.

Question:
In #33-1 we have regulars showing up being attracted to KODI and killed by Michael and guys. They did this near Fort Irwin, where - as I assume - is pretty much the same cold weather like - for example - into the direction of Boulder. Wouldn't the comment of Specialist Robbin be kind of odd that cold weather freezes regulars then?
Or would the winter-weather in LA be so much different, like much colder, more Siberian-style then the Hawaiian weather conditions in Fort Irwin? Then Robbin's statement would be a lot more valid - naturally ...

Also I would like to get some confirmation of which Boulder we speak of ... Considering the flying range of a Chinook I'd say the Boulder-refugee-camp is near Las Vegas ...

All the best!

Frankenzombies => remind me of Nazi-Zombies ...

Spec. Robbins photographed zombies were from a colder climate near boulder I believe, and the KODI killed zombies were near ft. Irwin, a much more mild climate in the winter time

[Penguine]

Temperature in Boulder is much different than that in the Mojave desert in California (Ft. Irwin). Question is... why would TOWTM be making Zeds that are resistant to cold weather? Does he know about Boulder some how or is he just preplaning?

Perhaps the resistance to cold is a side effect. Maybe bullet-proof is what he was aiming for.


What is the Frankenzombie theory? That Pinstripes is using corpses to put pieces together to build zombies? Malarky!

I do think he is tampering with DNA or something; maybe even altering the zombie virus that originated in The Haze.

That a scary thought, but he may have scouts watch the area and noticing the incoming and debarking Chinook in the area.

I think he is messing with the DNA of the zombie, the noted that the skin starting hardening moment after be turned. And the soldiers would said something if the ADLO was piece together.

Wait that sound like what happen!

[LiamKerrington]

Thank you. So we don't speak of Boulder (Nevada) near Las Vegas?
Sorry for bothering. But comparing the climate tables of Fort Irwin California and Boulder Nevada they are pretty close to each other - temperature-wise ...
Maybe I should start considering poetic license a lot more ...

All the best!

Bil Roberts (Ink), if you're assuming is the same as Mr Pinstripes, was a paranoid schizophrenic hitman for the "family", not a geneticist. And then if you we're thinking Mr Pinstripes is a different character (which I do not think so) and is a geneticist...then what the heck was he doing in the Tower, and not busy in his evil scientist comic-book lab deep under the city creating life with a few beakers, syringes, bunsen burners, and a heafty amount of unobtainium?
