    [h="2"]Who tipped off the Mallers with the radio (aka: Who is The Rat?)[/h]
    Clues:
    [LIST]
    [*][[Kelly]] tried to organize the first mutiny
    [*]People were in talks about somebody else taking over
    [*]Shots were fired from a 3rd floor window, which ended negotitaions between the tower and the mallers.
    [*][[Bill]] stole supplies from [[Riley]]'s Shop and [[Burt]]'s Gun Store
    [*][[Bill]] had a rather eerie moment when the Mallers showed up. He said that the party didn't have to stop just because the lights were out and then laughed a rather creepy laugh
    [*][[Bill]] shouted an invite (when possibly drunk) from a window for the Mallers to join the party
    [*]Although [[Michael]] and [[Burt]] defended [[Bill]] for "fighting alongside them 'til the bitter end", Bill never actually fired a shot against the Mallers. He was killed in a pipe bomb explosion shortly after coming down with his shotgun
    [*][[Bill]]'s last words were "I'm sorry"
    [*][[Scratch]] says in conversation with [[Tardust]] that there is someone already there, but she hasn't responded for a while.
    [*]After Chapter 24, it seems likely that [[Kalani]] could have been the rat, because the mallers may have held someone he knew hostage. He also kept his journal hidden.
    [*]After Chapter 28, [[Kalani]] reveals himself to be the rat in his journal, encouraging the Mallers to strike the Tower during the party, so as to be reunited with his daughter Hannah, kept in hostage. While Tanya speculates that he may not have written it, Datu states that only Kalani was the only person with him in the motor-pool, thus seemingly confirming Kalani's journal was indeed written by him.

    [h="2"]Who shot [[Pippin]] and the radio? And are they the same person as The Rat?[/h]
    Clues:
    [LIST]
    [*]A silenced weapon was used, a silenced pistol seemed to be missing from Burt's bag.
    [*]Pippin is revealed to be a rat, so the shooter is possibly the rat, who has changed sides and is now wanting to protect the tower.
    [*]Right before Pippin is shot, he says "You!", implying he knew the shooter.
    [*]The assassin went to great lengths to ensure Pippin was the only person harmed, even triggering an alarm in [[Burt]]'s room to draw people away.
