Chapter 40-3 Monsters

[Z Sniper]

Otto: "So, uh.....will you be taking this incredible offer for shoelace insurance?"

Me: "DAMNNNN STRAIGHT I WILL"

I feel it would be along the lines of that....if it ever would happen.....which it sadly wont......

You know, I SHOULD get back to selling shoelace insurance, it's been obsolete for awhile since Velcro, but I have noticed the Army guys didn't get the memo. They still lace up their boots! Would be a shame if one of them tripped or had them tied together by happenstance.

If only we knew someone who had some kinda insight into what Victor knows...................................

HMMMM, who,...who could that be?

[tonyhind86]

Attempt at selling insurance: "Insurance anyone,....insurance anyone?"............"Oh screw this! Gas mask anyone, gas mask?"

You had me at "gas mask" and "insurance". I am now confident that I can breathe in ANY situation. Where do I send my payment details?

Okay, this is my interpretation of the little ones attack at the windmill and how it played out.

Glen is immediately attacked and killed. Jay and Datu open fire possibly striking but not killing the little one. Next Jay is attacked but not killed. Datu gets a couple more shots off but is soon firing blanks. Datu is struck down by the little one, causing the scratches to the neck and face dropping his pistol as it skitters along the ground. The little one approaches Datu and picks him up but is attacked and killed by Jay and Datu is dropped back to the ground. Jay approaches Datu and we hear him scream as he’s bitten by Jay. Jay then runs off from Datu but not leaving the scene entirely. The beeping sound is from the windmill as some component on it is failing and giving off a beep, maybe the pump burning out. Next episode, Datu yells for Jay to kill him. But I think what made Jay not kill Datu, only biting to turn him, is what keeps him away despite Datu’s pleading. Datu then turns the Mata-gun on Jay, killing him.

I don't think the Mata-gun was used to kill the little one. It's pretty clear to me that I don't hear it fire, until Datu kills Jay. I think that Jay used a tool, which made a wound that looked similiar to that made by the Mata-gun.

(Jay may not have been fully turned thereby still having enough conscience remaining to attack the Little one and move away from Datu after only one bite. Maybe thats why Datu is turning as slowly as he is....or he was fully turned, he sounds like it, but still had some control, or there was some other function at play to just turn and not eat)

Can someone, anyone, listen to this part again while reading my explaination above and let me know what you think?

on it brother

edit* my notes

main things I notice different

the mata gun is fired by jay.
how would jay approach datu and bite him on the back of the neck?
why only run off "so far" and wait?

the main thing that would change your version is include a regular biter travelling with 6(or9). whilst that is contrary to the behavior of 7 its also shows their(inklings) independent behaviors. so in that situation it would read...

6(or9) kills glenn
datu n jay fire
jay is killed
datu drops gun
sneaky biter gets datu, runs off
datu kills 6(or9)
leaves datu alive, while jay is turning. jay turns and only sees datu as bitten(least his NEW brain does)
que chapter 41

that's how I hear it at least

I think this is close, but I still think there had to be a regular biter there, Datu said he was bitten by a regular, (didn't say if it was Jay or not). Also I thought someone had compared the sounds of the shots in this scene and the Mata gun from the test fires and it they were identical, implying the Mata gun did go off. My guess is there was a little one plus 1 or 2 bitters that attacked, and Jay and Datu got overrun.
The little one saying "Get up" does create a lot of questions in regards to motive.

Okay, some very valid points to consider at the next listen. Thanks gents!

That someone was probably me. The file is here.
Pretty obvious to me that he did fire it.

Storm's becoming one of my favorite c
