36 - Scorched Earth

At a Fort Irwin checkpoint Michael tells Tony to keep firing with the 50 Cal, don’t let them get past the checkpoint , then tells everyone else to get inside the buildings nearby. Puck calls Michael to warn him that the area is going to be CS gassed. They load up into the hummer as the gas sweeps over the area.

At the Colony Victor yells the big one is getting closer. Saul tells him to use a pipe bomb to keep the big one away from the wall. The bomb is a direct hit but it doesn’t kill it.
Victor yells a warning to look and Saul sees that standing by the police station is Nine fingers ( Ink). Standing next to Ink are the Nine little ones, but they are not so little any more. They decide they are too far away to shoot so they are going to leave them alone hoping that they don’t join the fight. The back gate is out of pipe bombs so Burt runs some back to keep a big one at bay. CJ has woken and Saul needs to help her with the pain. Victor seeing the 9 little ones tells Saul that he doesn’t want to end up that way. Saul gives Victor the suicide needle he made earlier.

CJ is in a lot of pain and she says it’s hopeless, Lizzy gets mad and says there is always hope and they need to keep fighting. Saul gets ready to leave and Lizzy begs him to stay, she even tells him that their baby is a boy. Saul Locks Lizzy in the hospital and has the door boarded up so nothing can get in or out.

Back at Fort Irwin Michael confronts Kimmet about the gassing. After an argument he tells Michael to get back to the chopper. News comes over the radio that the zombies have started to break into the Bradley’s. Kimmet gives the order to gas the whole area around checkpoint 1, despite being told that the gas is almost gone. Michael begs Kimmet to secure the Helipad so they can save as many people as possible, Kimmet refuses and tells them that they make their stand here. Michael steals a Satellite phone so that they can call the line to the bomb so that Kimmet can’t detonate it. They need 5 minutes to get away from the base far enough to have a hope of surviving the nuclear blast.

When they get back to the chopper Datu and Tony have been fighting about the repair and the chopper is not fixed yet. Tony has equipped the Jolly Green Giant with a m134 Mini machine gun. Carl is repeatedly calling to nuke to try and block the line in case Kimmet calls. Since the chopper is not fixed Michael goes to get Reily and Tonya goes to get her notes.
