Chapter 44-2: Life and Death

[Litmaster]

LIT'S REACTION TO PAGES 9-10 OF THIS THREAD...ALL CAUGHT UP!

A Good Woman is Hard to Find...

Also, Micheal says that the girl's (Mother's) arm was like a pin cushion, and inferred that she was the one given the drugs. Not the Inkling. So, Ink may need a baby still in utero.

Right, which makes me wonder where his is going to find any. If Mike is indeed right and he is still in the baby-morphing business.... who is left alive to serve as pregnant hosts? Is there some pen of captured, unturned slaves somewhere we don't know about??


Ink Perfecting His 'Craft'

Seems like his Inkling experiments endowed them with some ability manufacture the proteins themselves. Also, anyone they turn would have the same ability. Would Ink's new attempt be different from the first two?

Now that's an interesting idea. I wonder, if Ink does somehow have a stash of pregnant human women somewhere... does he how have an EVEN MORE POTENT formula, designed to create something even worse than the Little Ones??!?


Society's Worst Nightmare

What if both parents are zombies?

Not much worse than if you had a demon-child spawned of Paris Hilton...


...and Macaulay Culkin!



Blood Trails

After they were "born" Ink took them to the Hospital, tattooed them on the arms, shaved them, filed down their claws, etc. The mothers, whether they were human or zombie, were probably destroyed during the "birth."

You know, I think that basically explains the blood trails between the birthing beds and the pile of bodies: the trails weren't leading FROM the pile, they were leading TO the pile. Methinks Angel and Riley were cuddling up close and personal with the remains of those twelve mothers....


The Fortress that is Ink

I'm thinking that the other tunnel is gonna lead to the hospital. It would have served as a way for Ink to get back and forth to his laboratories, and it would be a good way to bring the two story-lines together. (I don't know if anyone else has put this idea forward already.)

I don't think so, but this makes a lot of sense. Jesus, I'm thinking Kc has built up too much of a badass antagonist in Ink-- how the hell are our heroes ever to defeat this guy? He's smarter and a better planner than CJ, is a better leader than Michael, executes better than Saul, is tougher than Burt and Victor... WTF? Our guys are pretty well out-matched in this apocalyptic chess game...


Projectile Babies!

So the baby didn't have to gnaw it's way out or anything--we actually don't have any proof of that do we?

***Gross Stuff Coming and I Don't Know How to Do Spoiler Hiding To Spare You***

When the mother dies the baby can be projected out of her body by the build up of gasses. If she died with the baby still in utero it would explain the umbilical cord being attached.

Somehow, this image came to mind when reading your post:

Either that, or the Mata-Gun...


Datu's New Reality

I just thought that it was speaking a little clearer or with a slightly different accent. I did, however, notice that he is MUCH livelier and jovial than the last few episode. He's back to is wisecracking ways. Even called Micheal, 'fatty'.

Dunno, but the fact that he isn't particularly bothered by the horrors of the Arena is somewhat unsettling....
