Noted. Though I wouldn't be surprised if this means the few surviving Legionaire's are moving to a new city.

Either way, the point is it's something a brave person has to do it they believe a friend or acquaintance is getting the shaft. Lara isn't one to stand by quietly while the Lair Legion, or PV Earth, is essentially sentenced to death. She's a little confused about why the Chronicler, who's worked here all his life, can't understand that, and why he doesn't at least care enough about what he's destroying to at least explain it.
That's where the assumption about insanity comes in. Only someone in that position who's insane would sentence people to destruction without really caring, because his own personal mood or agenda is above all. To her it seems a bit like destroying the moon to avoid a few hours of solar eclipse.
> > Lara would definitely appreciate that. She would also appreciate if he manages to get an explanation, and see if the Chronicler can be convinced not to continually harass and try to destroy the Lair Legion. That last part is what Lara would be most worried about, and the only reason she would even think to try and de-throne him.

That's why sooner or later she's going to need some explanation about the Chronicler. She has to either be able to no longer perceive him as a threat, or at least figure out why he needs to be one (surprising that she'll take either one, isn't it?).
If he continues to be a threat, especially if he's an escalating one, like if she believes he's determined to destroy the Legion no matter how many times he's thwarted: When Lara can't get angry, she gets smart. Once she discovers there's a heirarchy, she'd begin to display a Hooded Hood like attribute, and essentially "shake the tree and see what falls out".

It doesn't have to be permanent. Nothing has to, with the Shoggoth after all. It would just be funny for a while, and would probably annoy a few people (which Chris likes to do, so it might work out).
