This was particularly complex because it has so many plotlines, most of which weren't begun by me, and such a long narrative to complete. It wasn't one of my favourite writing tasks.
In fact it bears all the telltale hallmarks of me straining - a gratuitous deus et machina Hooded Hood appearance, recourse to yet more nebulous and mysterious sinister types polanning for the future, heroic fatal but ultimately reversable sacrifices by many of the cast, lengthy exposition dialogue as plot points are ticked off, and an over-long multi-scene battle.

It occurred that some of C-Team would be a lot less nice with a different training environment.
