Quote: I suspect the LL are in "war engagement rules" mode. The villains accompanying them definitely are.Though she doesn't want to be, Lara is all too comfortable in that mode. She's been through a few trials by fire back home, and she is not afraid to fight dirty. The one thing she took away from all of those battles back home is that bad people have *no* limits, and extreme measures are sometimes needed to stop them. I don't remember if I explored it or not, really, but Lara has hinted in the past that Hatman likely wouldn't want to be friends with her anymore if he really knew what she's done. Quote: I'm deliberately confining the field of conflict to an area around bits of space I made up and can therefore blow up at will.That's fair. And I'm bouncing ideas around for a tie-in, but nothing substantial has come from it yet. Quote: Most cultures that are trying to stay out of it don't want the internal problems caused by the Apostate's conversion cults. They have formented revolt and revolution in places and have caused legal political change in others. They could seriously affect purchasing habits in a trade-based society. And with the Apostate's return they have suddenly become a lot more persuasive, able to convert mass crowds with only a few words. Somewhere out there, that might be the first time the Galactic Government becomes hands-on to solve that problem back home. If there's one thing they won't tolerate, it's trade interruptions. | |||||||
