That last might well be a thing yes, not talking Annie even and how she might react. Based on the evidence so far Annie may well be more dangerous as Chris.

It also depends on if she finds out HOW you win, at least in the case of the boxing match...That last might well be a thing yes, not talking Annie even and how she might react. Based on the evidence so far Annie may well be more dangerous as Chris.
Or even some of the potential options with Kelly, it's not like I would suggest giving her water or anything, but some people might...

We also don't know what we would win in the event of beating her. She can choose anything. For example, giving as a free lesson on how to fly the Vanguard. Now, that would be the best possible reward for me, but I'm sure all of you would be less pleased.It also depends on if she finds out HOW you win, at least in the case of the boxing match...

I'm pretty sure Chris will at least try to honor any demand, provided it doesn't result in permanent bodily harm, and provided she's convinced that you played fair. If you tell her to go sit on a distant hill for 3 hours, so you can shag Annie while she's away, then she will. Just don't tell her you're using that time to shag Annie. Maybe suggest to give Annie a field promotion, I have hunch she'd take it under serious consideration.
In Chapters 1 and 2, we already learned Chris has a very righteous mindset. She may not always abide the law (in the case of Annie, she does), but she does follow her own set of rules, which are almost knightly in their seperation for right & wrong. During the fight with Kelly in Chapter 3, we get to see (gladly not suffer) first hand how she responds to unfair play. Things are very black and white for her, and she deals consequences in extremes.

She probably doesn't have an authority to do that. Even if she did, what would be a valid reason for that? There's no need for another officer.
In the case of Annie she totally doesn't. By law she should report her and the MC for their transgression. Yet they both get away with a warning (for now). Also, look at the Chadwick Files. She's definitely not thinking black and white. Yes, she may think duty first, followed by loyalty to her crew as close second. The rules, however? Only when it doesn't go against the first two. There are many layers to her character.

I am not sure whether Chris would see a distinction between duty and loyalty to her own. I suspect those may well be the same to her. Also agree with Dripping that she very much lives by her own code, for better or worse.

Of course she does. She's basically trying to balance the two, so that she doesn't have to choose one or the other. What happens in regards to Annie's drinking is a good example of that.

When it comes to flight crews, as a commanding officer you need good crew resource management. Having authoritarian hierarchy where the CO is always right and everything is strictly by the rules can backfire when there is a problem the CO doesn't see. What you don't want is a flight engineer being intimidated to speak up or a CO that doesn't listen. Obviously, it can't be anarchy, so the CO has to take responsibility when necessary and make decisions.
Point is you want a crew that can work best as a team, so it really is about finding the right balance. The right gray between black and white. I think the entire approach crisis is a great example of a crew working at top efficiency.

Well, if you ask me, I think MC will get the chance to set Chris up and she will honour the deal (at least that would seem consistent with her character) - but it will come back to bite us in the ass BIG time later (pun only partially unintended).
It depends, who is to say what the situation might demand of us, maybe someone else doesn't make it, perhaps she needed clearance to see some file to do her job, maybe just was just in desperate need of a good boning, and Mike wasn't up to the task...
Depends on the 'dare', but I am sure something will bite you on the ass anyway, one way, or another.Well, if you ask me, I think MC will get the chance to set Chris up and she will honour the deal (at least that would seem consistent with her character) - but it will come back to bite us in the ass BIG time later (pun only partially unintended).

True and taking it to far may well hurt your chances with three women. One could always lose first and see how far Chris takes it to get an idea what might be acceptable ofc.It depends, who is to say what the situation might demand of us, maybe someone else doesn't make it, perhaps she needed clearance to see some file to do her job, maybe just was just in desperate need of a good boning, and Mike wasn't up to the task...

Bit more even if I took the liberty to falsify the truth a bit it also has the links to all Notty's important musings and explanation about the game she made during first 500 pages.
