Rotary wing isn't too hard to learn. The problem is that unless you go the Army WO route, it's fucking expensive to learn how to fly rotary wing in the civilian world, at least here in the states. More so than fixed wing. My old roommate is now a WO1 at Ft. Rucker going through the accelerated flight school course, lucky fuck. He was already a fixed wing pilot so he got picked up quick. I still have at least 2-3 more years before I think I could even be considered. Booo.

Have you forgotten that Versus only whacks off in helicopters?

Although he would come in handy to keep Saya under control. Maybe through a hand to hand knitting contest or something?

And yes his guns would be handy, since I'd be all "Ohh, so that's the end the bullet comes out of."

I can make a really good 'chopper chopper' noise, does that count?

I'll learn to fly... I'll add it to my bucket list.

Maybe I'll learn to fly the way they did in the triffids book, just have enough helicopters so if you crash them, you have a spare

Maybe we should just invite Prince William, so he can fly the helicopter and I can just sit there and make helicopter noises, while Versus kicks zombie butt and Timeless scowls at the zombies, as Saya knits zombie's jumpers?

Sorry Graus, haven't thought up something for you to do?

Sounds perfect timeless...

I claim shotgun and I'll still make the 'chopper chopper' noises, because I like to feel like I'm contributing to the zombie hunt, since Versus will lock his real guns away from me...

*pouts*

I was planning on having proper sound equipment in the chopper to play that. Also, huge effing speakers on the outside to blast this all over while we pwn zombies.

Excellent. We are going to be the rocking-est zombie hunters in the world! We should also get a knitting needle cannon installed, so I can at least shoot something sharp at the zombies, when I get bored humming.

Can we have a jet powered helicopter? Like airwolf? I have such a huge crush on that piece of machinery (even though the actual airwolf helicopter crashed and burned)

Timeless, you are going to be very busy learning to fly

You are in charge of getting the helicopter while I learn to fly, so it is up to you how you wanna arm it :3

You're just saying that to keep me happy aren't you? I'll have to leave the arms dealing up to Versus, because I seriously wouldn't know how to fit it out for killing zombies.

You can teach me how to fly it, post apocolypse (sp?). Although I might get a couple of really massive loud speakers and hang them on the outside, and we can play Celine Dion and other whaling cats, which will instantly make the zombies shatter into a million pieces.

We could call ourselves the "Kind, Caring, Sharing, blow shit to pieces brigade"

I don't have a job? I could be that one who stands around contributing nothing and telling everyone that they're doing everything wrong. What is that called...boss or supervisor?


No, I will be the one keeping a watch for zombies breaching the perimeter and you will know by my blood curdling screams that they are at least 100 yards away.

Fuck yeah, I've got enough to go around.

*checks bag of awesomeness*

Yep, I have just enough.

We'd probably also need someone to put zombie snares outside the perimeter, too.

You could also be in charge of polishing the boots (cuz if we let batty do it she will just drool all over them).

As long as I don't have to lick them.

I do like polishing boots. I'm kind of persnickety about it.

Also, I will need an M60 and an ammo belt to carry out my duties properly.

Ren, we could probably tap into your evil genius potential and use it constructively with that job.

BTW would we have electricity? Because if need be I've already thought up ways to use zombies as beasts of burden.

If we face extremely large numbers of zombies, I've thought up, "the zombie trebuchet". Back in the medieval ages the trebuchet was a castle killer, hurling large(sometimes flaming) rocks, diseased bodies, cows, you name it, it could throw it.
The zombies would have 3 main parts the "wheel", the "cider press", and of course the throwing portion.

The wheel would be a hamster wheel of sorts, harnessing their capacity to keep walking forward forever, they would continuously be walking towards a ipa.. I mean brain of some sort that would be forever out of their reach. This would allow the wheel to provide the kinetic energy(harnessed through gears and belts transferring the power to the needed areas) to power the rest of the trebuchet .

The "cider press" isn't quite as tasty as the name would imply. Zombies would be lured into a crushing area, where they would be squeezed of all their rotting juices.

Finally where it all comes together

The throwing portion would involve the zombies being lured into a "staging area" of sorts. In the staging area they would have the rotten(and flamable) body fluids from the cider press poured over them. At regular intervals the throwing arm would come down, pick them up, and at some point pass through a flaming area where the flammable zombie body fluids that they are drenched with would be ignited. From there they would be on fire being delivered through the air back at their zombie brethren,causing impact damage, as well as causing zombies in the area to catch on fire.

As long as it receives proper maintenance it could kill zombies forever without fear of lack of ammunition.
