Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[7oddisdead]

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.

I kinda wondered if we weren't given a clue about this in the episode. victor mentions how mike n co. came straight to the mortuary instead of a safe house in between. mike emphasizes they weren't followed.

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.

I ever mention I like everything you post?

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.

ever notice how he let both riley and cj live? ever consider they are both thirty something dark haired females?

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"

this idea was brought up originally with the "inklings". the idea of each numbered one being a different combination of drugs implemented via the numbered tattoos. easy to delineate what combo works best via the "lab rat tags" on their arms...I like the idea of drugs in ink pens, but I question the logistics of him getting that organized while hes in jail...or prior to murdering his wife and lovers family. that would imply that shit was wwaaaaaayyyy premeditated. I can only suspend so much disbelief.

Could it be the Angel thing?

short answer, no. long answer, Michael seems to trust vic to look after tayna, but not to work with a group. this says its something along the lines of a lone wolf works best alone...if I were victor, I would not feel slighted by that. hes more help watching out for tayna anyways.
