A "mission" for Michael?

[StickUpKid]

im basing this theory off the cover art and i think this is where it goes.

I think the person in the artwork is michael. And perhaps the plane flying off is from the base dropping him off somewhere for a "mission" considering he is MI and is now reinstated. the base may have Michael and Co. earn there stay at the base.

Any other thoughts?

Not to be a dick... but:



They're is a shortened version of 'they are'. (The apostrophe replaces the letter a.) Only use they're if you can substitute it with 'they are'.

Their is used to show possession. It is just like my, your, his, her, its and our. (These are called 'possessive adjectives'.) Here is a little trick: use the word 'our' instead of 'their'. If the sentence still makes sense, then 'their' is almost certainly correct. This trick works because 'our' and 'their' are both possessive adjectives used for plurals.

The word there is similar to the word 'here' in that it represents a place. It has two main uses: It is a specified place (like in the first example below) and an unspecified place (like in the second example). Also, like in the second and third examples, the word 'there' can be used to show that something exists.


In regard to your theory:

I like where you're going with that. It's going to be very interesting when the information contained within the journals is brought up--which I would hope will be during Michael's debriefing. The one thing that has also piqued my interest when it comes to stories such as this are those long sections of exposition. I'm dying to find out more about the intel that the group at Irwin has gathered. It's also going to prove very interesting once the community here starts analyzing it against the information we've already gathered [ourselves]. The fact that The Bird was recognized when it landed says a lot about what their intel has already pulled together. As for Michael having a mission to earn his group a place at the base? It wouldn't be logical for them to turn away able bodies, but it's very possible that Michael would be sent on a mission, simply because he's been 'in the shit', as it were, and has first hand knowledge of the city's current state.

I could see him being involved in a mission to Ground Zero. It would make sense for a need to gather as much information as possible about the origin. I don't know if they'd drop him out of a plane necessarily, but I could see a trip back in the Bird being very likely. It would be a great way to get him back in touch with Saul and Victor--which would provide much more information than he would likely acquire simply visiting GZ. It may be a way to force C.J. to hand over all the information she's gathered too, as I still feel that she's holding back far more than has been alluded to already. I like your thinking, man.

+1 to you, sir.

the only problem is that michael was an analyst in MI. i mean sure he ran a check point into the base in iraq but he didn't go out and collect intel, he analyzed it when it came back. and as the only MI on base it would seem silly to me to risk a valuable asset like that on field work. just my opinion. osiris is right though: their not there. no i'm kidding, it is a great theory. the artwork usually lends some insight into the story, so i'd say it's entirely possible.

I wonder if it's not Michael watching the plane leave packed full of his friends. Because I agree that michael's skill set is too valuable imo to let him out of that room.

Besides, isn't he supposed to be training people in intelligence?

yeah, that's part of what i was thinking. unless, part 2 skips ahead like a month and he's on mission after training up puck. that would be a great way to pick up after the cliff hangar. they could also do that in part three.

I wonder if there might be some place other than Fort Irwin where they are settling non-military survivors? Some well-defended valley in the Rockies, or maybe in Montana, where there's agriculture and a little light industry producing vital supplies. It would make a convenient place to send Hope and maybe Tanya (hopefully none of the others!).

when i first started reading this, i don't know why but i started putting in my own words. i don't know why i read it like this but i had to give it a second go to make sure i was crazy. i saw "i wonder if there might be some time when you SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Yeah, but the only probably with this, story-wise, would be an utter lack of purpose for Hope's character. Come to think of it, have we actually figured out what the hell she is doing in this story? There has got to be some (dramatic) point why she is here...

[Miss]

Fort Irwin would want to use Micheal for his skills with intellegence and he was prob aware of the fact that if there was any army presence still at the base they would want to use him, and with regards to Hope, she has a point just because it isnt in the forefront of the story dosnt mean KC hasnt sprinkled sign and hints since her apperance in the story, or it could be as simple that every story has to have "hope"

My take is that it is indeed him, but he's looking down because he's bummed out. Pegs is on that bird and he is staying behind.

Now that I think about it, there may be multiple places they are resettling the survivors. Puck said that "once you get cleared, you'll get your itineraries." The need for an itinerary implies that they will be traveling and that there will be stop overs and transfers.


The Colonel's command center to me implies that they just might be in contact with other military remnants and that we just might have access to the bigger picture. I wonder what sort of state the rest of the country is in? Did the President make it out of DC and to the underground White House? Cheyenne Mountain is quite possibly the best place to hole up, but did they manage to get secured and sealed first? What of the US fleets at sea, especially the nuclear subs?

During the last few dying breaths of civilization, did any US cities get nuked in a failed attempt to contain the problem?

[OhSnapitsme]

I agree with the theory that Michael will be heading to ground zero. it makes sense, him and riley go, they find Saul and Vicky then discover the fate of Bert and Angel.

Is there a way to do that that doesn't seem forced? It seems a little too symmetrical.

Plus, I'd expect that to happen so I'm wondering if Kc will do something clever and unexpected.

Can anyone think of an original way that you could have them come together?
