Subj: Fatalities were kept to a minimum. So far.

    I was more pleased with the way this section, and indeed this issue, turned out than I have been with some other Untold Tales of late. Okay it was really just a collection of sloppily-linked scenes but at least each had some kind of point to it.


Hey, I like collections of sloppily-linked scenes. I specialize in 'em, even... so I quite enjoyed it. Frankly, I would think it would be impossible to avoid with a cast as large and sprawling as this one, especially with so many subplots. Yet your larger chapters and certainly stories hold together thematically exceptionally well.

    I imagine that Caphan culture has all kinds of visual cues, to status, skills, preferences, and achievements. Minor details like braiding of hair or choice of accessory may have huge significance. We already know the importance of a yellow coat. I'm sure Vizh has been made aware of his various ceremonial outfits - he wore one to Miiri's vena drea!


I don't think there's proof that ever happened. Hopefully.

Personally, I like that you've given Vespiir a reason to wear a gypsy fortuneteller headband/scarf. Very appropriate, visually.

    Seems like Beth has set up Sally in quite a nasty way. Here's hoping the Legion can get to her first and straighten things out before it gets out of hand. Of course, with CSFB! throwing press conferences the Legion may need to go on the run with her instead.

    Indeed. And the Legion may have to choose between doing what's easy, what's expedient, and what's right concerning her. Any views?


I'd think the Legion might be willing to protect her for a short period of time in order to investigate and try to find proof of her innocence, (as well as assurances that she would be safe in custody) with the understanding that she was turning herself into them, and that they would be handing her over to the proper authorities after a set time... maybe 24-48 hours? Without Lisa, I doubt they could hold out longer than that in any kind of legal grey area.

If, however, they knew she was innocent (Beth Zemo confessed to them, but left them no proof, for instance) then I could see certain people on the team being willing to hide her indefinitely until she could be cleared... That would certainly make for a big mess that would be hard to unravel.
