Chapter 40-1 Monsters

So... Since we now know that Ink was a doctor... I had this thought yesterday.
Let's say Ink is behind the zets - not that I actually think so, at least not directly... Could the reason that it broke out in so many major international cities be because he, as a doctor, has been traveling around the world, going to all sorts of doctorish conventions and stuff?
Though this does not explain the cracks at G0, the explosion in Ch1, nor the fact that it all broke out simultaniously - almost at least - but it's still an interesting thought... At least to me.

although It does not conincide with the "ring of fire" bit. (major outbreak points happening at ring of fire locations) one option could be "bombs" planted at locations as you suggest, receiving a wifi signal. at a certain point a timer of the ol' interwebs goes off and 'viola...at that point nobody would have to be present, or have any control over whats happening.

a separate thought. and ive not been on here in a day or two, so perhaps this has came up...but fuck me, we have the guy who is arguably the baddest of the bad(as far as the biters go), who JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE COURTHOUSE AT THE TIME OF OUTBREAK.(!)

hes behind all of this, dammit. just the idea of anything else being the case I cant see happening. the entire thing is staring us all in the face and ive yet to see anyone put it together in a cohesive way. while that's probly a good thing...man, it makes keeping out of the "what happened" theory-verse very hard.

Hey, Ink's schizophrenia could be explained by signals from Moon Men From Mars. If he wore a tin foil hat then this mess wouldn't have started.

i agree! Victor is my favorite WA Character. He's offered so much to buffet the story and other characters. i love his relationship with Saul and how the progression has gone. He's also been placed in very tough circumstances, both physically and 'politically' and has come out on the other side as a stronger character.
Voice acting is Top-Notch!

Pause. Stepping outside the show story for a minute...

Looking at this from outside the story, I have a good feeling we are going to find out the cause of ZDay at some point. That's either going to come from something in the story already or we will have to have something introduced to the story close to the end. Right now, Ink is the most likely candidate to have the information that the listeners (and probably the characters) need.

This doesn't necessarily mean Ink initiated or even helped start the cause of Zday. But he has some knowledge of what it is and where it came from.....

I'm assuming we don't have some Deus Ex sort of "Here's how it happened" thing happen just to wrap things up. I can't see Kc doing that.

Ok, back to the story....

I still do not think Ink had anything to do with the outbreak.. But his knowledge of Chems lead him to create the Specials. Cause the Colonist said they never had any of the specials down there when Mike and crew were there the first time.. Its an LA thing. The guys at Irwin never seen them before either..I do not feel, with what I have heard so far, that Ink started the outbreak..

How likely is it to find the one key information who caused z-day in a zero infrastructure post-apocalyptic world? Nada.

Let's assume Ink was part of a psycho pseudo-esoteric religious group or something ... He could have managed to create the zeeh-formular and share it or the methods to create it with his other freak-heads; then each single groupe has created the first bottles of zeeh-awesomeness ... And 'cause they all are kind of bound by the spells of their religion, they knew that "when the stars are right" and Neptune and Saturn are in certain spots in the sky, then they would release the Will of their fals good(ess) or shit ... And then ... *baaaaaam* ... in multi-locations almost simultanously the zombocalypse could have started ...

Don't get me wrong: this is not what I think; but I could see a story like this evolve or at least could be possible.

In my personal view the We're Alive zombocalypse started the one way or another, and Dr. Robberts was just in the right condition to be mutated into something special ... He (and his minions) are the result of something else ...

Best wishes!
