i am aware. but some of the details are off so i was pointing you towards that post.

T.E.D.D is an enigma. Not much is known about him actually but initially he serves as a joke...then it sets in and you start thinking about the things he actually says and not just focusing on "HEY THIS BUS HAS A LIL ROBOT DRIVER" and we find very ... ... interesting... ... things. I don't beleive him to be under Richtofen's control, as he is NOT a zombie. That is my only reasoning. He is a friendly until you piss him off. We can assume however that he is NOT the only one. I can only assume that busses like this were built in areas with government operations going on to serve as a guide for newcomers to the projects in area or emergency transportation. however t.e.d.d. does not seem to be associated with any type of emergency protocals and if he was then we would assume we would hear something about it or he would look the part. His GPS is OFF...for now... we MAY be able to activate it. The NAV CARD we find by the bus depo does not work in the nav table we build so it may apply to the bus to change route or possibly when we get DLC we use it to tranzit to the new maps. But as for the things he says Maybe he is linked with other busses like him that are rounding about in government areas like he is. And the signals get crossed when he malfunctions (or perhapes when MARLTON "hotwired" him certain systems were taken offline or hacked) and he says the things other bus drivers are meant to say. He cannot possibly be 1 bus that travels to all those locations. Possibly a standard directory built into his hard drive that all busses have but only use relevant data at their locations.

If you go over to viewtopic.php?f=103&t=26321 and get caught up I would like to hear what you think or any data you may have thats either contrary or supports the data provided. We are on the same topic but different threads.

I am not trying to shoot down your theories entirely because you may be accurate to a degree. BUT if you listen to all the T.E.D.D quotes which are now easily accessible thanks to MRDALEKJD on youtube, you will find upon further research that each location mentioned has to do with SECRET GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS, BASES, OR EXPEROMENTS, NUCLEAR FACILITIES THAT HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN BUT REMAIN IN FUNCTIONAL ORDER, AND ANCIENT NATIVE AMERICAN LEGENDS. Now I won't break it down here for you but go to MRDALEKJD page on youtube he has done the work for you! after you get up to speed let me know what your theories are. Whatever the next DLC is...we WILL come across GOVERNMENT SECRETS. that i promise you.

AVODRAGO got his hame from the leaked acheivement lists before the game came out the acheivement was "you have no power over me - defeat AVODRAGO without being electricuted." the name was later changed to "Him" after the release of the game. I think personally that to we as gamers who are used to deciphering the zombies lore, maybe looking to deep into certain aspects. The question then becomes "if the creators know we would be looking for answers, would they put anything into the game that wasnt important to the lore?" I dont beleive so. But that doesnt mean that the answers are all there, we still have many a secrets to disscover about tranzit and we still have more DLC coming that could easily explain more. The truth of the matter is we havent fully mapped out all the data from tranzit yet. until we do we have to base our theories on what we know and not go "down the rabbit hole" looking so deeply into certain aspects of information. example being; AVADROGO'S CONSTANT leads us to the scientist himself which leads us to "Mole Day" which we then take as maybe something significant happened on those days or to assume that the denizens have "mole" (animal) traits such as burrowing. we get carried away and lose the origional picture. instead of focusing on who avadrogo really is or why or even what, lets take the bits we have and apply it to our unified theory of everything. How does this creature play into the puzzle that is zombies? we know what WE have used him for, but he had different origional purpose it seems to me. So we have to start with what CAN he be used for? if it is NOT a zombie it MUST NOT be controlled by richtofen. It appears INTELLIGENT and AGGRESSIVE towards players. This thing is not of the zombie apocolypse but the result of either government operations secretly being conducted in this small washington town OR a SUPERNATURAL being of some sort that was captured or is attempting to "break through" to our dimension through the electricity it uses to function.

GOOD STUFF!! I have done a bit of research myself since posting and have found many flaws in my original post, but luckily all of you seem to have caught them. This is WHY I posted this thread to have the community update me and maybe I can update them. MARLTON *UPDATE INFO* - Has definate ties to the CIA. This is established through things he says. I have heard the quotes where he mentions his frustration with being banished from something. he says about this topic "I was the one reporting on everyone". I believe this to be POSSIBLY the ILLUMINATI that richtofen mentions being a part of and is intigral in the plot overall. MARLTON is called a liar by other characters, most notably RUSSMAN. He states "I GUESS THOSE THINGS HATE LIARS TOO" and "I HOPE IT PULLS OUT YOUR LYIN TOUNGE BOY, GUESS ALL THAT BOOK LEARNIN CANT HELP YOU NOW!" We know he is refering to MARLTON because he only calls MARLTON "Boy". MISTY *UPDATE* Misty DOES NOT like STU. She often ridicules him for being "useless". She is aware that Marlton likes her, and that he thinks HIMSELF a genius. She cares what he thinks for whatever reason as she says " I cant tell MARLTON I built this...Ill just say I found it." She often refers to MARLTON as "MARL" or "MARLEY" indicating a personal relationship. She often also refers to MARLTON as "sexy". This to me indicates a possible love relationship. She does not even come close to refering to the others in this campy way. It has been speculated that MISTY is a local. I beleive this to be TRUE. She says in game "this place brings back old memories". I know this is not a CLEAR indication, but being a farm girl, it's entirely possible that she is from the area. IT IS clear that she watched her father die, and she is very sad still but only when not killing hoardes. She cannot remember her mother's face either, this tells me that her mother died long before the zombie apocolypse that she was raised in, occured. STU *UPDATE* - After reviewing the Data available I am now sure that he indeed is homeless and a military veteran. Based on MISTY'S comments STU or STOOLINGER is gay. she states he likes to hang out in men's rooms and even says "STOOLINGERS GOING DOWN...And this time it's not on RUSSMAN". She also goes on to ridicule him for wearing girl's shoes. RUSSMAN - *UPDATE* Russman is very old and knows it. He also appears to be a "TEDD NUGENT" style gun fanatic. He genuinely derives pleasure from talking or thinking about the guns he's using. He is wise with age but does not indicate to have any intimate knowledge of anything specific going on. He only requires a "dark quiet hole" or a place to rest. He comes from a position of management to what degree is uncertain, He says "I Miss the good ol' days when people did what I say without talkin back." AGAIN....NOT COMPLETE DATA. please update my information if you know anything.

alot of people are wondering wherethe name comes from and why this character is on the map. only when the research is fleshed out can we actually begin to understand what or who he is. his purpose is a "mobile energy source" as MAXXIS states in his easter egg. I also beleive RICHTOFEN mentions this as well. We have to think that a full backstory for him may never be released. As of now there is not much to go off of so maybe in the future well hear radios talking about it.

Welcome to my breif Introduction of the "New Crew" in Zombies. This is still very much unfinished and ANYTHING you can add will help build our understanding of the story line associated with them. MARLTON - A tall, slender man with glasses and a "poindexter" voice. This character has been fleshed out to a degree by others but to recap and summarize; He is featured in NUKETOWN hiding in a bunker where we hear various quotes similar to the ones said in TRANZIT. He has definate military ties most likely the CIA or a compartment of it. He is a Scholar and an Electrical Engineer. Marlton can easily be considered the "BRAINS" of the operation. RUSTY - Is an aged war veteran with possible ties to TANK DEMPSEY". He is African American and appears very old. This character handles the hoardes with an upbeat attitude and often makes jokes of even dire situations. This makes me think that he has quite a bit of experience with killing in general and the zombie hoardes. MISTY - A tall and sassy southern girl who wears a ball cap and flannel shirt. This character is reminiscent of a Diner waitress(In my opinion.). There have been unconfirmed rumors that she is tied to the CDC in some way and that she may in fact be TANK DEMPSEYS daughter. I can not confirm or deny these rumors. She certainly is a fire cracker personallity wise. She brags about being a knife fighting champion and is also upbeat in spirits even durring the worst of situations. STU - The oldest of the bunch, this man is seemingly average except that he hears voices. As the story tells us, all over the area and possibly the world certain members of groups of survivors hear voices that tell them to do stuff. Most often they tell people to kill other members of their group. I beleive it is Richtofen's voice that STU hears. Thanks for reading and if you have anything to add that I missed or over looked please post!

In TRANZIT if you pay attention to all the location mentions from the bus driver T.E.D.D. he is clearly and obviously not talking about any locations relevant to places we go or visit. Every location that the BUS DRIVER mentions is either a reference to a secret facility operated in the U.S.A. Each location is tied to secret operations and various hidden locations or government secrets. MOUNT RUSHMORE - has a "vault" built into the back of LINCOLN'S head that remained unfinished by the origional sculptor because he died before completion. The family worked in conjunction with the Parks Dept. to finish the VAULT that hold ceramic copies of IMPORTANT U.S. DOCUMENTS. This is what the public was told anyway. It is not a stretch of the imagination to assume that there are other secret things going on there in the ZOMBIES world. GROOM LAKE- The prime area of AREA 51 where the government tests experimental aircraft and weapons. DARK HOLE IN A CLIFF- Possibly a reference to the cities built by early Native Americans in the West who build strategic cities into the walls of canyon cliffs for defense purposes to retreat from attacks. THE GRAND CANYON- The location of a "TOMB" Discovered by an Explorer that contained a SCULPTURE OF AN UNKNOWN DEITY and MUMMIFIED remains in a BURIAL CHAMBER possibly left by a long forgotted civilization as the deity is represented in the fashion of MIDDLE EASTERN DEITYS and has ANCIENT HIEROGLYPHS at the base of the statue. GRAND CENTRAL STATION- Is known to have a SECRET PLATFORM 61 that is underground and the entrance is not known. The only known use of the UNDERGROUND RAILWAY was to transport a PRESIDENT to his hotel discreetly. (This is a very broad synapsis). *Also once held a MISSILE durring WAR TIMES.* H.A.A.R.P. RESEARCH STATION- A U.S. Air Force Installation in ALASKA that has a large ANTENNA ARRAY that is used to effect the IONOSPHERE to inhibit or extend radio signal over large distances. Conspiracy Theorists beleive it is a top secret weapon that can actually alter weather patterns and cause natural disasters. THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES. BUT IF YOU CAN HEAR THE BUS DRIVER SAY IT, AND UNDERSTAND WHAT IT WAS HE SAYS, EVERY SINGLE LOCATION HE MENTIONS IS TIED TO GOVERMENT OPS, SECRET LOCATIONS OR NUCLEAR FACILITIES. **********SIDE NOTE************ TRANZIT- IN TOWN- If the conditions are right and all is reletively quit you can sometimes hear an underground subway passing through. This to me, speaks volumes. There are rumored UNDERGROUND RAILWAYS that connect the DENVER AIRPORT to NEW MEXICO and THE OZARKS all the way to WASHINGTON and NEW YORK (GRAND CENTRAL STATION) This is a very subtle reference to a MASSIVE IMPLICATION. Exponential theories could be formed utilizing this information. *******************************

This is my current theory on various aspects of zombies, please CORRECT ME if you find any INACCURATE information in my flawed theories. *WARNING* A deep understanding of zombies entire storyline required to fully flesh out my theories.The more you know about the zombies the easier these theories are to follow. MARLTON - Is an Engineer, Electrician and Scholar with ties to the U.S. Government possibly working on highly classified technologies or weapons design. even possibly the actual construction of the top secret bunkers themselves. In NUKETOWN he is heard saying various things through a bunker door. It is extremely muffled but people have deciphered what he says, some of which is the same as TRANZIT. Basically through understanding of the things he says, he is in his bunker hiding while the players playing as CDC eradicates the zombie hordes. It is assumed that at some point in the bunker a BUS comes and picks him up. ********SIDE NOTE********* The BUS in TRANZIT is very much roughed up and actually has cushions on the floor that we can assume are for the characters to sleep on as they are not positioned for sitting. considering the time gap between NUKETOWN (roughly 60s) and TRANZIT (2025) this is whhere they have been all living as they travel. ************************** Marlton has been scavenging the top secret areas he is aware of for weapons and technology and has with him some people he has reason to trust. (thats a different post) and they have survival as their goal. Marlton may have ties in the "illuminati" or high powered elite of the world. This may explain his knowledge of some of these locations. Assuming that because hes the ENGINEER of the group that he taught everyone else how to build or craft objects. Now understanding that, we can assume that since he has certain knowledge of how certain secret doors are opened or secret objects are built that he has at least rubbed elbows with high powerefull people or even that he is friends with people who have shared knowledge intimately because of his high class clearance. I beleive that our new pack of survivors is actually being led around by Marlton to find some of the tech he may have built to help himself survive.I beleive he is aware of the events of the moon, as is the government and we actually may yet return there to undo richtofen in some way. THE VOICES RICHTOFEN - He is in power. His story has been fleshed out to the fullest already. All we really have to speculate about is what he plans to do with his power. In GRIEF MODE we understand that this is Richtofen's way of toying with the survivors of the world. It is his personal game that he enjoys. He watches you kill eachother to avoid him actually killing you. He has always enjoyed watching people die suffering and slow. I believe the NPD may have a way of acting as a portal and he is having the survivors unwittingly send him energy and souls he may require to return to this realm from the ether. I have also considered that he may be trying to send some other more hideous thing back through into our realm. MAXXIS - Some would view maxxis as the protagonist in zombies. I stress that this is NOT true. In the case of Maxxis vs Richtofen an argument can be made he is the good guy but really is only the lesser of two evils. Maxxis has been having other people do his bidding for a long time now and they all either died trying or did it and died anyway. Maxxis may also be tied to AVADROGO in the sense that maxxis speaks through radio signals and electronics. Maybe of the same sort but AVADROGO not actually being MAXXIS. I believe that Maxxis is trying to get the players to help his personal quest for revenge and not necessarilly mankind. Samantha may be outthere in the world or possibly still trapped on the moon in Richtofens body. It is entirely possible that she is there as a prisoner as Richtofen wouldn't actually harm his own vessel. He may yet again need it. Maxxis may be helping her escape his clutches and return to earth to reclaim it from Richtofen maybe aiding Marlton and Crew. DENIZENS - I beleive these Denizens are the Vril Race. The legend says the Vril lived underground. Possibly the impact from the MISSILES dislodged the Earths crust and allowed them access. These creatures have a specific anatomy tho. If we disect their appearance we can come to certain conclusions. The have LARGE EYES indicating that they come from darkness and have large eyes to take in what very little light they get. They have small bodies which allows them to burrow easily or fit into small crevasses. They also have claws and a tail which could possibly indicate that they are the predators wherever they come from. Some consider these DENIZENS as DEMON BABYS but in actuallity look very little like humans at all aside from the general construction of anatomy and facial features such as the nose. These Denizens could also very easily be creatures of Richtofen's creation to "police" the world he rules when the people he's not done playing with yet get out of line. He is after all above anything else a MAD MAN. The DENIZENS seem to dislike light in general. the THICK FOG caters to their liking being very think and very little sun light comes through. If under a GREEN LAMP POST they actually will not come after you until you move away. AVADROGO - This to me seems to be some sort of being that is using massive power and energy to "break through" the boundaries that ward it away. The being is one of PURE ENERGY and can only first be seen in the CORE of THE REACTOR in the POWER ROOM. I believe it was waiting there for the power to be turned on to Juice it up and bring its form into this dimmension either from the ether or maybe a spiritual place such as limbo. This means that the creature could be of RICHTOFEN or MAXXIS. Both need you to kill it to use its energy to help them gain whatever they respectively need done. This creature appears human, but doesnt act human. It travels in bursts almost teleporting and when defeated it spins up and flies towards the heavens. I beleive whatever this creature is, it is tied to the ELECTRICAL STORM directly. As far as significance goes this creature is a mobile sentient energy source. It needs the energy it has to exist in this dimmension or realm and is only saught after to be utilized in the EASTER EGGS. This can be assumed to mean that some people in the game are aware of its potential if not its existance, I beleive that to be MARLTON.
