      But really I wanted to convey lurking and sinister rather than fast and deadly, hence Squid Ship rather than Shark Ship. I imagine it has deadly robot arms that can crush and unsuspecting vessel on the sea above. BALD is the scientific villain group, as opposed to HERPES who are the paramilitary/terrorist villain group, so their weapons and methods are different.

    The more focused point was that they were pitting it against SPUD's helicarriers which would be much faster.


It doesn't need speeed. It needs to be able to creep up on its target.

From a practical point of view, no underwater craft is ever going to go faser than an aircraft; but subs can still bring down planes.

      He's trying to find his own balance. He's not got that "I know what's going to happen but I won't or can't tell you" vibe like Xander. It's more a "there are possibilities I'm worrying about but I don't know whether it's worth worrying you yet" vibe. Or even an "I'm feeling out of my depth in a new situation with all these strange people and I'm not sure how to deal with it" vibe.

I'm not sure about that. I think he's just finding his way. As is his writer.

      You'll note during the course of the story that Hatty tries pairing folks in all kinds of ways, like a coach trying out a rookie team to see what works best.



    Quote:
    Even so, it's difficult to split up the team experimentally when it's a "championship game" and everything is on the line.


At the moment there's not an emergency though, so he's got leeway to experiment. Things will change with the end of the current chapter.
