I could have pressed for more details there, but I suspected she’d keep to the conversation better if I gave her the info instead of demanding it.
Probably true, yeah. I like how Taylor is handling this so far.
“They’ve set themselves a time limit to test and eliminate the six candidates. Their goal is to test the candidates and kill the ones who fail, until there’s only one. Our goal is to save them. So when Tattletale figures out you’re here instead of with your family, and when we know that the sixth candidate is apparently a hero, it gets our attention.”
Honest and to the point. That’s good.
I give it a 78% chance that Panacea is about to deny being a hero.
“Who- who are the other candidates?”
“Regent, Bitch, Hookwolf, Armsmaster-”
Alright, not immediately at least.
Also I guess she’s about as surprised to hear Armmaster listed as Sierra? Although she was there for him being confronted about his actions in Extermination, so who knows.
Alternatively, Taylor might be stopping because she’s unsure how to mention Noelle.
“Armsmaster?”
“Yeah. Though it might be like Cherish is doing to Regent, more to screw with him than for legit reasons.”
Nah, this one’s legit. It’s nice to see Taylor seemingly giving Colin some benefit of doubt now, though.
“Ok.”
“I can see it, though. I’ve interacted with him. He really did cross the line during the Endbringer attack.”
“And the fifth?”
I do wonder how much of this softness is Taylor wanting to avoid Panacea being put off by Taylor’s old antagonistic view of Army.
