    Next issue: Yuki rips off CSFB!'s head.


Like that hasn't happened before.

    That Thugos is a tricky one for sure. I'll chronicle the investigation next issue, but since there's 24 hours of downtime on Apocalyspe in between if you wanted to tie-in with a character piece for the tourists there's no reason not to. They've each got a lot of discuss.


I don't know if I have time yet. I'm still behind on finishing the last 2 plots I started because I got distracted by a 3rd one. Mind you, the 3rd one is really good (a peek into Lara's past back home) but it's still distracting.

Besides, the character piece would only be interesting if they're worried about what happens if Lara is turned against them. They trust her, though, so that's not really an issue.



    Quote:
    She'd probably be able to work out that he'd not wish them destroyed providing they proved themselves strong enough. He's all about the Darwin.


Incidentally, the Darwin thing isn't going to do much for him selling his point to Lara. She's very much the opposite, and likes to protect those around her. That's actually why she was given a "job" to do by Shema.



    Quote:
    Thugos is making some moves, certainly, capitalising on the situation in the Imperium and the opportunity to speak to Lara while he's got the maximum advantage.


Thing is, he doesn't strike me as the idly curious type. He might surprise me, but generally I think if he's talking to Lara at all, he wants something big. Then again, maybe it's idle curiosity *now*, because he needs info/intelligence for something much later.



    Quote:
    It's not a power issue: Thugos' Entropy Eyebeams can chase a target across time and space and would probably only stop following Lara when she shifted to her home dimension; but they'd be waiting for her if she ever came back again so she'd be exiled from the Parodyverse forever. It's more that he genuinely believes that exhausted, shattered people at the end of their resources are much more interesting. Now he can speak to the "essential" Lara.


How well would the eyebeams work against someone who can absorb nearly all of the energy from them? If he doesn't know the answer to that, it's probably more likely he'd threaten someone *else*, probably someone who can't leave, first.



    Quote:
    He has a point of view to espouse. He might be trying for a conversion. He might just be measuring up a potential enemy or ally. Who knows?


I think the timing might be interesting too. Like maybe Dark Thugos has some sort of beef with CSFB! leading, or doesn't like his "everyone in the LL" idea, or maybe he sent the Carnfex and now he's in the "If you want it done right..." phase.

And as a last point, I wonder how Thugos will solve the problem of the Hooded Hood taking Lara's memory to protect her? Or perhaps it was done to protect the Hooded Hood from Thugos' plans?
