      He's aware of the bigger picture, so he knows that there are other projects with better success rates. It's not his department getting canned.



    Quote:
    Another thing I thought of is Anna was created to reduce human casualties in a fight against superpowered beings - she can take on a lot by herself without soldiers getting hurt. Hodgekiss might have other priorities.


He's got some specific orders.

      I've promised myself that I'll allow myself read it when I've got 4000 words of report written.



    Quote:
    I guess I should be flattered that my new story is a reward.


I'm now at about 2800 words. The day's been absolutely full of interruptions - and I've got a 6pm meeting to attend next.

      For a while the Hood's been quite a passive force in the Parodyverse, even helping out against the Parody Master and the Carnifex. Now he's back to being the big bad, and a different kind of threat to the uber-power of some other menaces. The Hood can be just as dangerous without having ultimate power. I need to remind people of that.



    Quote:
    I believe I joked a few times that the Psychic Samurai is likely capable of taking over the Parodyverse with no superpowers whatsoever if she really put her mind to it and simply stayed one step ahead of everyone.


The Hood's perspective is that there's no point in taking over the Parodyverse. Whenever he's done that it's always been a means to an end.

      Wait until she starts to fade out; but that's a story for another day.



    Quote:
    Unlike Icy she might ask Faite for help first (if she can).


There's a risk there. What if Faite, with her much greater persepctive, decides that deleting Liu Xi or G-Eyed is the lesser price to pay to deal with consequences of fractured timelines?

      Quote:
      The Hood is working on turning CSFB! into an excellent and dangerous supervillain. Peter Pan becomes Captain Hook.



    Quote:
    Lara would probably scold the Hooded Hood for that, but when he's behaving like this he probably makes sure she can't find him at the asylum.


You can pretty much guarantee that almost anyone who finds the Hood does so because he wants them to, and because he expects some eventual advantage out of it.
