Quote:

The military would never trust to one solution only, though.

Definitely not, but Anna wasn't commissioned to be an only solution, just a first one.

Quote:

In other words, just the kind of job General Buttkiss needs done. Only since Anna developed a conscience and escaped, she's useless for it. That may also be why the General believes Dan Drury is a failure.

Quote:

He thinks Drury is too sentimental and wooly.

So he forgot to mention failure then.

Quote:

CSFB! doesn't tend to make those distinctions. He likes to have all the toys on the floor at once and he can't see why everybody shouldn't be happy to play together.

Lara wouldn't mind playing, but she also wants the freedom to step away when the Lair Legion gets mired in political problems. And vice versa, too.

Quote:

I suspect Yuki's trying to balance her own natural temprament with her loyalty to the team, her friendship with Dream, her professional expertise, and her dislike of authority. It's a tough line for her to walk.

Quote:

I can see where Yuki has moments debating whether or not she should just resign and walk away. But I think she also feels like the team depends on her to get them through this, and if she leaves everything falls apart.

Quote:

There's more on this in this very issue.
