Chapter 36- Scorched Earth

[Slim FiTT]

Now I dont know if anybody has said this and I'm not going to go through 26 pages to see. But I find find it strange that when they did role call in the colony they didn't notice that Glen and Pete were missing. I think that one or both of them are working for Scratch. Am I crazy or does anybody else think this.

So will her secure police radio network. It's almost as if CJ was planning for the coming battle against Pinstripes.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she was. At least before Dunbar fell.
Now I just wonder how well CJs going to deal with working with Michael. You just know there's going to be some butting heads there. Might get pretty interesting.

Heck! From the looks of this story, CJ was planning for the zombie apocalypse since Y2K. If she had enough blind folds and faulty scuba tanks she just might reveal to everyone her hidden converted-missile-silo bunker complete with thorium reactor.

and like I said earlier this year, the baby will be named after CJ ... what if they name him Conor John! And, and, and send him back in time! To stop Randy and Ink from doing this! And he uses the alias of Todd! oh man that'd be a Shamylan worthy twist.

I don't recall them ever going back to check on him either ha.

No, no... His alias instead is... Michael Cross!

Think about it - tries to keep to himself at nearly all costs, avoids even mentioning his parents as much possible

I'm pretty sure they showed up there for roll call. They did leave and Victor was by himself, then after comms with Saul he left to go and listen in.
Edit: -oh, haha...total brain fart...For some reason when you said Glen and Pete I was thinking gatekeeper and shovel face...nevermind, I was asleep at the keyboard.

I leave this thread for 8 minutes... when I come back the first post I see is Superman flying back through time to save Lois. What the fuck...

- Roll Call: Glenn and Pete left the Colony way earlier; thus their missing was very likely confirmed earlier and simply did not matter anymore. We speak of something like a week to ten days that Glenn and Pete were already missing in The Colony. No way this was not observed before the roll call.
- CJ already planning for an outright attack? No. The radio network served the primarily purpose to safely communicate between the various safe-houses and Dunbar. Also considering how long CJ wanted Saul and Victor NOT to engage The Colony, I guess it is more likely that she never planned for attacking the zeehs, but more likely that she wanted to be properly prepared in case something went horribly wrong. But Dunbar having fallen the first time cured this idea, so she was all in for hiding - nothing else.
- CJ and Michael: Michael is in charge. As. Of. Now. Either CJ gets crazy (having lost almost everything except for her life), or she replaces the role of Angel to some degree or something else. I don't know. But she won't become a problem.

Something in the back of my heads asks for this: Scratch and Mad-Maxian-Mallers might have set up camp in CJ'S Tower ... Wouldn't this be nice?

I second this, this is truley the only place they can run too. There may be a chance they go back to the strip mall (doubt it). May be a chance they go to the adjacent tower from our heroes original (doubt it). It has to be CJ's tower...Way to go again Kolani.

Does Scratch even know where it is? I mean, the Mallers may have stumbled across it but I don't recall that Kalani knew the exact location of it and LA is kinda big with lots of buildings that tend to look the same.

It brings up the question of how CJ would have left it. Did she booby trap it? Set up remote alarms like at the garden that Saul and Victor found? Hmmm....

Woot 100th post!

Good call, without going back to listen to Kolani's betrayal I think he mentioned its round about location didn't he? Regardless as the story sits now it is the only place she could go. Simply write in that they stumbled across it like you said. And I am certain CJ left a booby trap but we know Scratch will have rounded up a straggler or two and they'll be wearing the infamous "red shirt" while trying to enter it.

Very good call. When they sent Kalani, they did not know the exact location of CJ's Tower; but since then a lot of time has passed. Maybe they had the chance to get information. But this is kind of a wild card-solution.
More likely would it be that Scratch and guys accidentaly stumble over a safe-house anywhere in the place.
And the likelihood rises if 'we' consider The Mall, actually, or any other deserted place as the new hideout of Scratch and gang.

About booby-trap: I give it a 100% chance. Back then CJ was still in full control of her mind.
