Chapter 42-2- Chasing Ghosts

[Red Shirt]

If you notice one of the banish person is being allow in the complex without her give them any lip about. And I guessing no one is going to treat Micheal the same they treat CJ over for the death of soldiers? He literally put all the soldiers 'in one basket" and lost three of them. He would have lost Puck if it wasn't for the Matagun.

The only difference is that putting one's life on the line for the greater good is in the job description of a Soldier. Not so much for support staff civilians.

Will a Return to the Prison come with heavier weaponry? Maybe some bomb trucks or C4.. Seems that place needs to be taken out.

I have no idea how they're realistically going to assault that place. The place is fucking huge. They would need some missiles or something just to crack that thing open. Trying to take a squad in going room by room with all those beasties inside? Suicide mission.

I suggest Michael goes on a field trip to Pantex. It's the only way to be sure.

Willing to be that Puck's camera is just filled with horrors. He said Ink had a lot to play with. Betting they are pics of failed experiments and such. Kinda like Hairy. Like a Behemoth but not. Hairy was phase 1... and Arrow Head was phase 2.... and Little One as what he wanted.

My question is, what new horrific forms will we find now that Ink's secondary hideout has been located?

D. Strategy: So even IF they all agreed with Michael that they need to take care of Ink once and for all, how the hell are you gonna get him? That place could be booby trapped to the gills, with a hairy monster lurking around every corner. Any of you Army guys have an inkling (ha!) of what kind of strategy might be used to assault such a place?? CABBAGE PATCH!!!

Yes. NUKE IT. NUKE IT TO GLASS.

I won't pussy foot around with coy movie quotes for my tactical approach any more. They have what? 60-90 personnel, of which 95% are civilian. Even if they were all military... even if they were all spec ops, it would still be a massacre. It's time that Michael got that satphone charged up, opened up that directory he stole, started making calls to those 182 personnel that were in the field and figure out some serious transportation. Pantex has B-83's which are of the "Dial-a-yield" variety of warhead... there are just too many zombies and too few humans to risk a "conventional" approach. That jail needs to be turned into a crater.

[/soapbox]

At this point in the story, were I Michael's second, I'd be in danger of being relieved. I also recognize that my approach is nearing that of the Generals you see in the beginning of many outbreak stories that start to bomb cities in futile attempts to contain the outbreak.

Well, if the next episode is indeed going to be primarily a Puck-narrated flashback of what went down at the prison, then at least we'll get one more round of Robbins-Muldoon banter... at least until they are dismember by Sasquatch. That itself is worthy of a FAT GUY SALUTE!

Oh God, is that the Wonga dude?

And another thing... Burt's mailing list. It seems obvious now, having heard it. I'm stunned that this hadn't been thought of before. OF COURSE. A gun shop owner would have files on all his customers... bills of sale, background check forms, photocopies of drivers licenses. Top that off with a mailing list and that's a veritable shopping list of who owns what guns in the area and probably ammo for them too.
