Quote: It's how Vizh works. He's got massive networks and he's not afraid to use them. Garrick called Mumph in, Vizh decided to put him back on the team.
So the best way to defeat him is to lock him in a building with no cell phone signal and bully him?
Quote: Mumph's older, louder, courser, better-connected, more confident, less tolerant and more ruthless than Hodgekiss. That was why Vizh deployed him. Of all the people who could have countered Hodgekiss, Mumph's about the only available one who could have beaten him using his own strong points.
I wonder if Mumph knows how much he and the Hooded Hood are alike, with ruthlessness at least.
Quote: Bear in mind that for Mumph even the gramaphone is modern technology so artificial people are classified in that same "modern day innovations" category as all the other things that weren't there in the mid 19th century. He isn't interested in the fears of the legislators. He was there when people were getting worried about the steam engine causing industrial revolution.
Among people of that age, there are usually three kinds: Those who still embrace new technology, those who fear it, and those who hate it.
Obviously those who embrace it would side with Anna. Those who fear it wouldn't want to get near her, but might be neutral on what her rights are ("do whatever you want, just keep her away from me"). Those who hate it are most likely to treat all machines with disdain, and think nothing of destroying one, including Anna, because "it's just a machine, there's nothing human about it".
