Chapter 42-3 Chasing Ghosts

[Footbutt]

If Ink is smarter than everyone in the story had previously thought, then their next strategy will have to be something unpredictable.

a "lurring trap" (a la KODI) seems a bit forced, and we only know that it works on Biters, not necessarily Little Ones or Behemoths.

so what do the Survivors have left?
1.) Functioning Mata Gun (that has proven its worth!)
2.) ONE .50 Cal with double the ammo
3.) Regular rifles w/ammo
4.) Mini-Gun off the chopper
5.) the chopper
6.) the ability to generate electricity (generators)
7.) KODI w/C4
8.) Fire
9.) anything else?

#6, i mention, because the use of the taser on the hairy (i think?) behemoth seemed to halt his attack, albeit briefly.
i wonder if an Electrical Fence could prove useful?

I'm sure CJ has a few more goodies hidden somewhere. Perhaps Zombie Kitty can play a role in capture/killing Ink. Anyone?

I think electricity will play in somehow, the mention of the taser is more than just a "throw away". I don't know if an electric fence would really stop a behemoth though, by the time he knew he was being shocked he would probably have destroyed the fence.

And thanks again to Kc for throwing in the lines about it being a jail and not a prison so people understand the difference, while also emphasizing the size of this particular. I'm sure it helps the "non-forum" listeners.

Not trying to one-up anyone, but how about this?

Attachment 2947

Not sure if anybody caught this yet, but I recognize the symbol in between inks eyes. I think it's the stigmata, not sure, but I recognized it from an old anime berserk. The symbols involves demons, or some kind of demonic possession.

Good Find.

From what I see though..... it is being labeled as a "Brand of Sacrifice" or a "Symbol of Sacrifice"

So basically right in the middle of Ink's face we have something about "Protect/Defend/Preserve" and something about "Sacrifice"


"Sacrifice yourself to Defend/Protect Me" ????

Is this how the Zombies know not to attack Ink and are willing to protect him?? Can the Zombies understand the symbols?? So many Questions, so little time!

[kent17]

That's super helpful, thanks! Also, if someone can manage to figure out what image reflected in his eyes is, I'd love you forever.

When I tried playing with the image before the reflection in his eyes looked like lobby doors, or large windows. Although the image gets pixelated when I zoom in, so who knows.

Better call in CSI

you know, now i'm wondering about Randy's mark on his face...
did Randy get 'tagged' by Ink, or 'brand' himself, or is it a scar?

Pulling a different thread of the sweater; what do you all think will be the fallout of this event from CJ ? Does she go even further into lock-down mode? Does she hand the keys over to Michael? Do Burt and Riley continue on their mission or lend a hand with this new Prison?

We heard it once before when describing his name and rank. I think Robbins did it.



No to shoot this down, but I'm going to. Behemoths kill by brute force. They don't bite or gnaw. Puck's descriptions of what happened are filters for any brutality that might have occurred. They're not getting back up.

You gotta think how painful and slow some of those deaths were in this episode. Muldoon was either in lots of pain or he'd lost his nerve endings with how it fell on him and he wasn't able to move. Then we have poor Robbins who was slammed into a wall. Talk about major concussion. From the sounds of it he didn't die right away, not with his body type. Poor Robbins died slow, but because when he flew into the wall he likely broke certain parts of his spinal chord and possibly skull. So when his body fell down he'd be unable to move and laid there in immense pain while dying there on that floor. Then poor Carl who got brutually slammed several times onto the floor. First time break the nose, the frontal lobe area, then death, but until death he'd be in some major pain there.

I once made a joke in another thread that I wouldn't want to encounter a behemoth in the prison showers. Yesterday's episode kind of confirmed my fear

I remember that and would have to agree with it especially after meeting Mr. Fasty in this episode. burt
