Chapter 40-2 Monsters

[LiamKerrington]

Was he or wasn't he bitten? They grabbed his arm, he stopped fighting back, they stopped attacking.

I hope they take the video recorder with them. Good thinking Puck. Curse these cliffhangers.

Hs arm was out. But when they watched the screen none described what happened to it. So actually we only assume he was wounded and infected. As 7odd points out: such vans are huge, so why would Ink stay close to where the biters attack and not try to avoid them? Would this be kind of an expression of his madness? Or was he delused and did he think that these were not zombs, but some people who wanted him to help to get free?
I think they did not take the tape with them; but they recorded this move by "screening" it with their own camera. I wonder how "good" the quality of this might be ...

another bit of info for ya, so the attack on Roberts took place at 10:42am. if we check the map, and reference the location as close to the waterworks(good on ya cabbagepatch)..nearly every part of la should have been seeing the outbreak occurring as they travelled to the courthouse. although, the upper northwest section of the map shows some quick spreading in the general area. the area around the tower did not see outbreak til 11am..though the courthouse is north of that..and clearly outbreak reached that location in the 10:30-ish range. the only thing I can think of is the transport officers likely arrived at the courthouse and went inside and had the place evacuated. that seems plausible. it also seems plausible that the transport van could have travelled through Inglewood and brought the outbreak to the courthouse area more quickly than natural progression would have.

Maybe the van arrived at the court before hell started to spill out zombs ... They could have arrived earlier in the morning; before Ink was to be "released" into the courthouse, the driver had to do some usual paperwork and wait for security staff to get to him; then solid brown mass hit the turbine, and everyone started to care for himself and simply forgot about Ink in the van; then the zombs showed up ...
Regardless of that there is something almost creepy about your version, which I like. That would support the idea of Ink being kind of a mastermind behind it ... But would this also imply that Ink is the source of all the breakouts around the Rim of Fire?

coming back to ground zero. ...
we do know however, that saul, Tanya, and the little ones are not affected by the haze (I don't care what KC says, regulars avoid it..it may or may not affect them...but they don't go there. that's enough info for me). Tanya claims that could be very bad, but I don't see how. it would seem that would mean that whatever caused the "little ones" is a separate strain. could her and saul not also be a "separate" strain?..she also has first hand experience with a little ones physiognomy..that, along with the haze sample should make piecing the puzzle a tad bit easier I would think.

A regular was near ground zero, when it got attacked by the Little One ... So actually we have first hand evidence that regulars don't necessarily avoid ground zero. When Saul and Victor were there they did not encounter beasts, because everything was dead and them zombs were busy stampeding anything that held life in it ...
