Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[Gooer]

I need to go back and listen, but in the very first episode, Michael says that it all started 7 years ago. We are a little over one right now. Does this mean they lose the battle?

I think he was saying that he started his Freshmen year 8 years ago, back in 2001, not that the events of We're Alive started 7 years ago.

I'm not sure about this, but the other murderer that victor possibly recognizes... Didn't they talk about a cellmate with ink in a previous episode? Maybe that's him and happened to stand trial before/after ink's trial. Maybe he has some leads.

It was Cohen that was the one that helped him with the tattoo's, so it isn't this mystery guy that was found with Ink's court papers (I've already forgotten his name....)

Victor's Foul up

I think it was something pretty basic to soldiering, like muzzle disciplin or sector of fire. I lean towards sector of fire. We have heard that several times from Puck. Victor reminds Tanya of it in 40-2. I also think it would be the hardest for him. He and Saul are out there for four months. Heads always on a swivel and overlapping eachother.

Then, plug him into a team of six or more and he might not be used to just looking just in one narrow field.

If you had something to do with the outbreak, or knew why things happened the way they did, how would you act to hide it. How might it show?

If the tattoos protected Ink in some way, why?

I ask because it occurred to me that CJ might have information she's hiding...then I thought, no, it doesn't make sense because she didn't seem to really know Ink besides as a marauder of her castle. Then I thought that since we know Ink didn't start it--or at least had no hand in the implementation--her not reacting to Ink strongly would make sense even so.

In the past 3 episodes we have heard of 2 people that are connect to Ink in some way.

Cohen - assisted Ink while in Jail, smuggled in items needed for tattoos.
Austin McKibben - Photo was found inside the court record for Ink, first thought to have nothing to do with anything, until Victor states that He feels like he has seen him before.

I feel that the tattoos are protecting Roberts because the tattoos are more than just ink. I think there was something else mixed in with the ink, so that when the tattoos were done he had basically injected his entire body with something that is causing him not to turn, or to be able to control the zombies..... chemical? pheromones? something.......

Hmm...

Like someone said early on in this thread, Tanya's statement

He (Ink) wants to end it.

Yea, so the group thinks Ink did not start it, but who doesn't want to end it?

I do not quite understand his actions and maybe I am not supposed to, because he is psycho.

He wipes out CJ's tower, but spares Skittles/Duncan. He does not attack CJ and maybe that was because of her defensive position. Some survivors of CJ's tower attack and or try to rescue. Ink then attacks the water plant where some of CJs people may be located.

He goes to the Tower and kills Paul. However, he does not call in lots of others and he knocks on the door like a normal person when finished with Paul. In chapter 40 he kicks out the double doors of a prisoner transport van. My guess he could kick the door in, but he knocks on the door like a friend.

He laughs at Riley and Kilani after she tries to shoot him with an arrow.

Interesting theory! Did they ever say what the tattoos were of? Sorry, i have a poor memory. Maybe it's a written formula?

Could be something related to the chemicals Randy dropped in the plastic bag. One of them we know was Follistatin. The other remains a mystery, though was described as having a "distinct metallic smell"
