> The Void Scholar still doesn't seem to know Liu Xi very well. Kissing for her doesn't mean as much as he thinks it does - so there's a strong possibility she kissed Danny purposely as a distraction. Or it could have been a bribe to get the truth out of Danny. Either way, the Void Scholar may be overestimating it.
|
There's every possibility that he could be being played.
> An amusing aside, not sure if you want to use it or if you'd rather I tie it in: If the Psychic Samurai has been replaced by a Space Fandom, that would be really amusing because she's highly self-aware with her extended abilities. If the Space Fandom copied her accurately enough, it too would be self-aware. It would know it's a Space Fandom, and annoyingly cooperate with the heroes.
|
I'm guessing that since Chiaki was in the Arctic battle zone at the time of the big transfer she'd be left behind as one of the genuine humans. And since most of the Space Fandoms don't know they're Space Fandoms until the thing they're programmed to do comes round then that might give her some very confusing psychic inputs.
But if you have a good story to tell with it the other way round, with Chiaki being substituted, then go for that one instead.
> I guess Shen Rae will get to talk to Mumph now. The question, if I tie that in, is how aware she needs to be of the changes that have happened to Earth. Or if the Psychic Samurai should be involved. As an aside to that, Shen Rae does have a secret she hasn't even told Lara or even most of her own people. It has to do with her family line.
|
It really depends when the meeting is. If she's talking to Mumph in the first few hours after his return then nobody much will be aware of the substitution. If it's later than that but within 24 hours then she'll cut into the crisis and action of the LL's realisation. If it's more than 24 hours then the Earth will be completely empty except for our heroes.
> The Carnifex sure is useless at this time. Only time will tell if that's because he believes everything is working as it should.
|
Since the Carnifex sicced the Void Scholar and the Moderator onto the LL to test them he's not about to interfere now to save the Juniors.
> btw, I have a feeling that Danny threatened Vinnie ever so subtly. And I like the penguins.
|
Danny may well have intimidated Vinnie. Penguins are good but needed replacing in this instance.
> And I knew the Hooded Hood was back. What might be interesting is whether he's using the aid of another highly illusive being who's been absent all this time, Faite.
|
The Hood wasn't due to return yet for a while, but he's a useful character to use when you want to cut to the chase so he pops up here to help me bring a speedier resolution to this storyline.
