> > > Yuki always plans ahead, doesn't she? And that's why she would put together a file like that.
> > I guess it comes with the job.
> Except she still hates paperwork.

I'd assumed for this kind of reprot writing she'd just jack into a printer and think.

> > > As I've said in another thread, she and Lara together probably came up with the possibility that the Chronicler's threat may be what *causes* Danny to try and take over the Parodyverse.
> > The Chronicler is usually more aware of his actions than that.
> That makes Lara's assertions even worse, because it implies he has a motive for causing it.

The Shoggoth had a similar speculation.

> > > And if asked Lara would also point out that if Danny is killed, what would Kerry become? She might be the next threat the Chronicler would need to destroy. And then Dancer, and then Visionary, and probably Hallie once those are gone. And then Liu Xi has that book. From Lara's point of view, the only real threat *is* the Chronicler.
> > While the others are powerful, only Danny has proved that he's got what it takes to take over the Parodyverse and replace the powers that be.
> Possibly, but what if it's a sign that the Chronicler is working down the list? Start with the greatest threat, see how it can be neutralized, then move to the next.

The Chronicler is only allowed to use his power in very specific circumstances. That's how the Hooded Hood avoided being sent to oblivion; he knew how to work the system.

> Plus, the process of eliminating that first threat may create a second one. Once Danny is killed, Kerry becomes a great threat to the Chronicler and the Parodyverse. Once Kerry is killed, then Dancer and Visionary do. Once they're killed, Liu Xi becomes a threat because she'll seek revenge.

You plug a dam one hole at a time.

> Lara would say that if the Chronicler still wants Danny dead, and brings that house of cards down, then he may be doing it purposely. He may want to prompt such a cascade to eliminate all his possible enemies in short time. Or maybe he has no intention of eliminating them, and wants to move the nexus.

I'll try and write a Lara/Chronicler meeting later on.
