krixwell-liveblogs:

So I’m rereading my own liveblog and I just noticed something:

Due to the comment about Lung being more dangerous than 50 people with guns, I sort of assumed that there were around 50 people in the gang. However, it turns out I missed a wording from chapter 1.4 that gave some insight into how many people were actually present in Gestation:

I could have fit a cell phone back there.  With a cell phone, I could have alerted the real heroes about the fact that Lung was planning to take a score of his flunkies to go and shoot kids.

“a score”

So Lung had about twenty of his followers with him. We do know Oni had a portion of the gang with him elsewhere, but if I remember correctly, that was a smaller portion. In other words, we’re probably looking at a number closer to 30 members than to 50.

Of course, this number went up quite a bit when Bakuda was put “in charge”, due to her recruitment practices.

A car pulled up, and another three guys dressed in gang colors got out and and joined the crowd.  Shortly after, the group – twenty or twenty five in total – started walking north, passing below me as they walked down the street. 

Oh. Right.
