Hrm...we certainly don't have anything that I especially think of as a twist. But then it -is- hard for me to say. I just see a three dimensional jigsaw puzzle that all makes sense, y'know?

To my mind nothing, with the exception of the systems fail on the Vanguard, should really have come out of the blue.
It helps that you know the story and the background of course and know which way you want to take it, while we see a myriad of options, some way more unlikely as others. :p

I doubt she has acess to files from people of a superior clearance level than her.

Anyway if there is a chance to help Kelly get back at Chris i sure would help my sister just to see what would happen. :devilish: :devilish: :LOL: :LOL:
But how do we know that Kelly isn't really a spy? She might just be acting about not expecting to see MC there? She might know everything about everyone...

But if she is a spy, well....why not Marcus? Or Trisha? Or....etc etc. I mean, why would there be a spy there anyway?

It's a backwater research station. It doesn't seem that important to me...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
That is the simple version to distract spies and journalists, the real one is way better hidden. yeah w knowquite a few people are playing a game and are trying to play puppet master. We will find out though in time what role Kelly plays in all of this or just burn the station down and fly away. :p

I'm not buying that, why is the station even still open?

What isn't Amanda telling us? I know, she'll say more in CH4. ;)

True how could a research station on one of three habitable worlds humanity knows about with overpopulation on Earth ever be important? The real question is why is it not way more important?

You should ask Thea for the full version, I'm sure she's had access to it at some point! Myself not being Thea only has access to this version! ;)

It is such a shame that people like the PPF are thwarting colonisation plans isn't it?

But with no colony ships actually completed (thanks, Thea...) and only the three "I" class capable of inter system travel the fleet is very, very stretched. The loss of the Invincible was most unfortunate in making a bad situation even worse. I'm not suprised the MC has orders to consider closing the place. Last thing they need is to be keeping an eye on another planet when they have Phoebe to play with, no?

Maybe the MC should close it down. It does seem a sensible thing to do, no? It would take pressure off the mission for sure. Who cares if the plant is fixed if you're going to shut it down.

With a nuclear reactor...
I'm sure there is a perfectly sensible answer for that. *sage nods*

Does rather change the dynamic a bit doesn't it? :)
I can see Marcus trying his best at being obsequious while trying to make sure we don't kill his two research projects, Trish multiplying her efforts at seduction for the same objective.

Amanda trying to reason with us about the importance of her studies with the native Ophions while Kelly will also do the same but in a more blunt way.

Mike will be more or less indifferent to the possibility of closing the outpost. :LOL:

Y'know sometimes I re-read my posts and I can just hear the sounds of grinding of teeth flowing across the internet.....
