Minor remaining questions

[Kc]

I'm going to glaze over a few as there are some things left open, but I can knock out a few I think i may have answered elsewhere.

I had a couple of curiousities as well, regarding the Little Ones.

1) When Little Ones bit and turned the living, their spawn were essentially Little Ones, correct? (I seem to remember the incident of the Chinook going from Los Angeles to Boulder, and then every single Zombie being turned essentially turning into a harder-to-kill Little One.

Not the exact same as a "little one". They inhibited some of the enhanced qualities, but not to the degree that the little ones had. BUT, if you do the math... there was one number unaccounted for.

2) Boulder exploded and there were still these Little Ones on their way to Ft. Irwin. There were still plenty of people out there on their way from Boulder/Surrounding area that didn't make it to Ft. Irwin in the big convoy. Lets call this convoy B2I. Convoy B2I was shot at by Blackhawks, further dispersing converted Little Ones, or ZombieTurns2.0, which were harder to hit, and harder for bullets to penetrate. Wouldn't there still be these ZT2.0 still out there between Boulder and Ft. Irwin?

There could still be some still out there scattered.

1. Why didn't Ink's eyes get cloudy like other zombies? Actually, scratch that. The real question I'd love a definitive answer to is this: Was Ink an actual zombie? If so, I'd like the answer to my first question, please.

He was... but perhaps not fully.

3. What happened to all the other special zombies that were around in the first season? Smart ones, jumpers, runners, etc. As I understand it their gifts were simply the result of human abilities but the only special ones we see later on were Ink's pets.

There were a few events with "Runners" later in the series... but not as common. Jumper- there was only one. Remember a few failed experiments? That was one. Smart ones still remain in certain areas. The only one we knew of personally in the story was Randy, but there were others. Smart ones were like Ink's officers.

Could little ones reproduce? (Three in one, sorry.)

Nope. You go too far down a genetic line you end up sterile. Behemoths can't reproduce either.

Where'd you get the bit about the specials dying out? That just boggles my mind. If they were smarter, faster and stronger than the 'normal' zombies, shouldn't the remaining zombies all have been specials? Survival of the fittest and all that? The fact they just disappeared has always bugged me. I wasn't including the little ones with the specials as we found out they were a different breed entirely and what happened to them is pretty clearly documented. Thanks, though!

There are some still remaining in the WA world after Ink was killed. A few runners are out there, and smart ones, but no more jumpers. The only other one mentioned that didn't survive was in Twin Towers Correctional.
