Ahahahaha. LOVED the Bentham reference and Morgan's complete incomprehension.

I'm right there with Prentiss, Garcia, and Reid trying to figure out the best means of survival. Though I still maintain tree houses might be the way to go.

Thanks for sharing!

It really depends on the capabilities of the zombies, I think. Tree-houses could work for a land-based situation, but if the zombies kind of piled on top of each other, they could feasibly get up there, even if it took a long time.

I like the idea of using boats, because by being on the move all the time, you get some sense of freedom. The trick, of course, is finding a way to become self-sufficient.

[jujuberry136]

But with a tree-house you have the possibility of creating a village of tree-houses connected by rope bridges ;) (plus there's the added benefit of either ziplines or tarzan vines... not that I've spent a lot of time thinking about this)

The self-sufficiency thing is really the key

[amichevole]

That definitely could work, though the problem with any stationary base is that it could come under siege, no matter how many security measures you put up. And what happens if the tree dies, or if a branch snaps? There are ways of working around it, but again, it's all in the planning.

I will concede that the height of tree-houses could make for good defense, providing the thicket of trees isn't too big. Have someone with a sniper rifle sitting in a sentry tower, picking off any zombies that come within distance. It's like a Panopticon, almost (there's Bentham again). And a land-based fortress would probably be better for self-sufficiency, being that it might be difficult to grow plants properly on a boat; you'd need much more science.

Yeah, I think about this a lot too :(

I am not a fan of zombies (and i have no idea why people find them so fascinating), but this fic is hilarious and awesome.

"We can make it all profilery for you" The only think missing from this conversation is Hotch.

[amichevole]

I can't explain the reason why zombies are so fascinating; probably something to do with the way the human mind reacts towards the macabre. Good to know you enjoyed, even though you don't like them.

Hotch and zombies...I can just see that takedown. It involves dual-wielding badassery.

Thanks for commenting.

[amichevole]

I love nerd-fic. There really needs to be more of it.

Thanks for commenting.

Hehe, so funny. :D

love how Emily's all smooth about her reply.

made of awesomeness.

[amichevole]

I kind of get the feeling that Emily thinks about these things, but it's only when she sees that Reid and Garcia are talking about it that she realizes that it's not entirely socially unacceptable to actually talk about it. Thus, her smoothness.

Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for commenting.
