Lets make a pact now then...when and if this story ever ends, and when Hollywood decides to make it into a movie, ALL who posted will share the profits equally.

Now, how do you split up $0 million dollars between all of us??

Sounds reasonable to me.

How to split 0 million? I might borrow a page from bugs bunny's book on that one:

One for you! One for me! Two for you! One two for me!:laugh:

This all is highly amusing! Better than television! I only wish I could focus long enough to contribute. By the time I can stop for long enough . . . things have changed. :laugh: I think that is what is making this interesting . . . the story is moving well!

Don't forget if you are apprehensive about jumping into the main story you can do background stuff or even introduce new characters thousands of miles away. I wonder how the outbreak has effected the people in the UK for example..

More abstract thoughts:

Would Marcus and Ella's powers cancel each other out?
Why is the army searching for Marcus? Did they spot him on a security camera or do they have some sort of detection method for the energy released when someone uses a power? Are they searching for Ella as well?
How did Gabriel keep his e-cig charged? Why doesn't this method work for the de-locater?
What's a de-locater do anyway?
What did Gabriel see that scared him enough to turn back when he was previously in the CDC facility?
What is the name of the defense contractor in question here? Who is in charge? Who was that army guy talking to on the radio?

All of these questions need answered.

I just watched The Zombie Diaries last night, and it had a similar premise . . . 3 separate stories that all came together. A rather odd way. Decent story for a low budget flick.

Nice twist on the telepathy Mac. The high price of using it means that she won't be in everyone's head all the time.

How did Gabriel keep his e-cig charged? Why doesn't this method work for the de-locater?

I'm thinking a 5V charger (could be operated from a hand crank like the weather radio/flashlight thingies) isn't nearly enough power for the delocator. But, now that they have wheels couldn't they use the vehicle battery to charge the delocator?
Do Hiro and Ella actually understand that Gabriel has a delocator?

Feel free to work those thoughts in if they make sense- I'm nowhere near having enough to flesh the ideas out into an installment

Charge doesn't have to mean electricity either. A cannon is 'charged' with black powder, the charging handle on a machine gun loads cartridges (bullets to some), and of course the most dangerous charge of all: The CHARGE CARD! Rumor has it that the last one runs on blood, sweat, tears, and dreams...

So, it could be a chemical charge vs plain old electricity. Maybe it needs pineal extract from a zombie (or human/other animal) brain as part of it's targeting system?

He did say "still running on batteries" as if he had other plans for a power source. hmm

She will certainly think twice before trying to use it on Marcus again =)

Or mount a beefed up de-locater on the vehicle for the final battle, utilizing both the battery and alternater. That's a whole lotta De-locatin'

He told them he had one and used it and implied he still posessed it. He has not said what it is or what it does and they seem to keep getting interrupted before they can chat..

I keep thinking i should add something...but have no idea what. (heck, who am i kidding, i barely have anything to add on the other threads these days)

I wonder if we got a little too organized, and keep expecting it to make sense and be preplanned. the effect may be like sending something to a committee for study.

To be honest . . . the main reason that I haven't put anything down is because I write in an odd way. I always sit down and think about my chapters and get them set into their groups; then I start an outline of each chapter; and then I fill in the details. I had one teacher accuse me of cheating because my final draft was longer than my rough draft. I just get too confused if I don't have the boundaries already set.
