Hey guys, I'm new to CoDz forums. I read and follow some posts, but this is the first I make myself, so any feedback is widely appreciated.
So it's been all over Mob of the Dead that something huge is going on. Not just with the entire time loop the prison crew is going through and a new Demonic Announcer we believe to be Lucifer, but also with the events in Moon.
What I think everyone needs to disregard, is the chronological order of every event following Moon. As we've seen, Richtofen teleported the new crew from Green Run into Die Rise not simply though space, but also through TIME. The Zombies storyline should not be seen as an order of events from one year to another, but the order of events as they unfold.
I believe that everyone related to the major storyline is multitasking, excluding Maxis. Richtofen is trying to foul Maxis' plans, which remain unknown, by using the new crew which consist of Marlton, Russman, Misty and Samuel, while simultaneously trying to finish off Samantha and the rest of the original crew. Samantha, as she and the O3 fight off the zombies, is using the last bits of her power to try to find an escape from the Moon, as they are stranded and will die if they cannot escape.
Samantha is the force that wants the Weasel to pull through, to escape from Alcatraz. If he can build a plane inside the prison, why can't he build something to get Sam off the Moon? The cycle has to be broken, so that Al can find a way to help the O4. He escaped the inevitable and broke the time loop in Alcatraz. If he can free the original crew from the Moon, he is pulling them away from their close-coming fate, which would be death.
