Why not this way?
"I've been thinking," Tank said suddenly with realisation.
Everyone groaned in despair when they saw the expression on the marine's face. Dempsey only got that look if he was about to start spouting nonsense that no one knows about.
"What about, exactly American?" Nikolai asked as he leaned forward. He decided to go and humour the marine. If only it stopped him from bitching to them about not listening to him.
"What exactly are we doing?" Tank asked. "What is our objective? So far, all we've been doing is going through time and killing zombies to save everyone right?"
"You're point, being?" Takeo asked with disinterest. His eyes narrowed at the marine, as he wondered what the blonde was getting at. They were trying to stop the undead infection' and Takeo Masaki would do anything in his power to prevent the dead from consuming the flesh of the honourable!
It was his Samurai way. No one, but those trained under the ways of the samurai's would understand.
Tank breathed out forcibly and stared at both Nikolai and Takeo dead in the eyes. There was no emotion visible on his face. Only a stoic expression that made him hard to read, although somehow, Takeo could tell the marine was thinking hard.
"Think about this for a second: The zombie outbreak occurred sometime during the 1940s right?" When both Takeo and Nikolai nodded Dempsey continued, "We travelled through time, where the zombies somehow got to other parts of the world by the time we got there. Following me so far?" He paused a moment to look at them, they once again nod their heads.
"Now technically when we were in the 1940s the zombie outbreak just begun, and few places were overrun in the ensuring conflict, but when we travelled forward in time' the zombies inevitably spread to other countries. We could've gone back in time, stop the zombies from breaking out and overrunning several countries and kicking the asses of Group 935 all in one go!"
Both Takeo and Nikolai stared blankly at Tank, before they slowly turned and looked at each other.
"Why didn't we do that instead?" Nikolai suddenly asked, looking at Takeo as if he had all the answers.
"I do not know." Takeo replied snorted in disgust. "However, Dempsey brings up a varid point. We courd have done this instead."
"I have a solution that might solve our dilemma guys." Both glanced at Dempsey and waited for him to elaborate. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as a predatory smirk graced his lips, "We beat the fuck outta Richtofen until he agrees to take us back into the past!"
