> > Danny's fairly experienced with girls and he's shrugged off the wiles of VelcroVixen (at least since he's been with Kerry). But he's sometimes a decent kid in spite of himself and might respond to genuine and honest friendship.
> Fortunately wiles isn't really Liu Xi's thing (she doesn't try, because she believes others are so much better at it). Her way *is* to try to be friendly and honest.

> > I'm fairly sure Danny's worked out where the bad guy is. He might not be as clear as to which side Liu Xi is on.
> That might work out well. Liu Xi is only unsure if Danny has the motivation to help her, or if he doesn't care. I guess he might be sympathetic after Liu Xi hints that she wants to go home.

Possibly.
> > I could forsee an excellent and dramatic free-for-all with Chiaki fighting her way out of police HQ while fake-Graham and every cop in the city tries to frag her.
> As dramatic as that is, Chiaki might consider such a fight unnecessary. She would most likely notice something subtly wrong with the way Graham is behaving, and find some excuse to leave the room, perhaps for some water or coffee, without giving a hint that she's suspicious. Then she would slip away, like she did in the Safe.

Where's the drama in that?
> > Previously the Space Fandoms have worked like Marvel's Space Phantom; they shift their victim to another dimension and use their genetic template to substitute for them. When the Fandom dies their victim usually returns (but not in the current situation). Usually Fandom and victim never coexist in the same reality.

> That depends just how she ended up in Antartica. If she was brought there suddenly, the space fandom who is replacing her in Paradopolis may have thought she was switched but she wasn't. It's like intercepting a transport.

Indeed. As a default, however, I'd guess that Danny did the honours with the Portal of Pretentiousness.
> > The Carnifex is already aware of Lara and her capacities from the Moderator Saga.

Well, the Carnifex is aware of lots of powerful entities. The trick is not to appear to threaten his plans.
> > The Hood's a good ally to have - 90% of the time. It's the 10% that's the killer.
> Faite isn't someone you want to make angry either. Fortunately she's difficult to anger.
> After meeting him once, Lara has a good description for him: Someone to listen to, but never to trust.

Very apt.
