Chapter 33-2 Red Winter

[Hoff4D]

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?

I'm still pretty hung up on the numbering system.

1)Does TOWTM mark his elite soldiers/successes? Or does he number them based on a batch number?

2)Do they somehow grow a number once turned (lol). Like does #2 bite/scratch some dude and they grow a #2 on their arm as well? Or does it just create INKLING (i like it too) offspring sans the number.

3) That said, in every run in with little ones only ONE of them had a number (I think) so...are they like infantry numbers. #2 makes his own #2 battalion moving north, #9 makes one moving west....etc.

4)And furthering that, are the numbered Little Ones able to get along, or would they fight among themselves? (ie created by #2, allegiances lie to #2 and would attack any created by #9...etc)

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!

Yea, they're talking about Boulder, CO

No problem.. Boulder, Colorado. Much different weather come winter time. Irwin is in the desert and it does get cold, but no where near as cold as the mountains of Colorado.

I think Ink has just made them his generals so to speak. They are a different type of zombie, just like the rest of the specials, but they are the more powerful ones. He recognizes that and for ease of recognition he numbers them.

Yea, that would tie in to my question/point #3, where I said they seem to only have one numbered guy at a time (at least when we run into them) leading me to believe they're filling their own battalion lead by the numbered guy, and heading off in different directions/different missions.

This is one tactical pimp-ass zombie move

We've seen evidence that the Inklings get along with each other at least when they are small. There were two in the Reserve Base depot that attacked Angel and Kalani.

Hey remember how we wondered why that Behemoth was dying at the Army base? Wonder if it was dying after giving birth to a pair of Inklings.

Now, how asome is that? That detail slipped my mind ... Ok ... Guess what? I could go on with my climate concerns because the climate tables of Fort Irwin CA and Boulder CO show pretty close ... Nah! I stop that ... the average Dec temperaur is like by 10°F different ... Not comparable ... Sorry for bothering ...
Probably the 32°F/ 0°C-mark (freezing point of water) or 39.2°F/ 4°C (point of highest density of water) my play a major role stopping the regulars ...

I wouldn't want to go as far as considering the little ones kind of "generals" or stuff ... My like speznaz or commandoes ... Keep in mind: Like the behemeoths you encounter them without having so much regulars around; instead the little ones act in small units like one or two of them, as I understand it ...

All the best!

Was it dying? I considered it sleeping until being shot in the head ...
But I did not follow you converstation about it.
Strikes me kind of *ugh* imagining the big ones giving birth to little-ones ... But some 'signs' seem to point at some kind of relation (strength, tough skin ...)

Yea, I was merely theorizing offspring of a certain number get along, as we've only seen evidence of one numbered guy per showing (I think, at least until someone cites a chapter where I'm wrong)

So in my theory, maybe one little one in the base was numbered (Number X for this example) and Number X bit skittle's step-brother Jolly Rancher, turned him into a little one, and they get along in that Number X is General X and Jolly Rancher is his soldier

I guess that sort of throws a lot of theory off tho...since it appears once a Little One turns someone, they go insta-Big Little One (Inkling)almost...so why would a little one bite SHRINK a regualr dude.....hmph.

I humbly withdraw my theory of Numbered's not getting along, as the army base almost certainly had to be two different numbered homebrews still in growing phase....The general theory still works, in that they don't become generals until full grown maybe.

That is a disturbing image! LOL!

But I think that Angel and Kalani would have noticed something to point that out, like a severly ruptured anus on the Behemoth or an exploded abdomen or something.

I'm thinking that Behemoth was dying because it was a "faulty creation". It was big and powerful, but just not made to last. Batteries ran out, homeboy. When you run a powerhouse like a Behemoth you need tons of food. He probably starved or burned out his muscles in extreme fatigue. I'm thinking the Inklings are the final product of the Devil's Workshop and that is why they are numbered; unlike the Runners, Behemoths, and Jumpers.
