I couldn’t make the mental connection between the Nine and their appearances or their powers. If I didn’t have the benefit of being able to remember my actions over the past few minutes, it would have been impossible to say whether the two people here were allies or enemies.
Well, that’s something, at least.
But yeah, this kinda puts a major spanner in the works for your main objective in this chapter.
Everything suddenly made sense. The infighting, the tactics they were using, the mixture of hostility and paranoia. Legend was attacking with nonlethal blasts because he couldn’t be sure if he was attacking a teammate or one of the Nine, so he was striving to take everyone out of action with as little permanent damage as possible.
Yeah, sounds about right.
Sundancer’s worries about being alone struck me. We were all alone, now. Every single one of us.
Huh. It’s interesting that Taylor manages to connect that to the name Sundancer.
And yeah, I don’t remember if I said anything about it – if I didn’t, I should have – but I realized at some point during yesterday’s session the connection Taylor is pointing out here. It’s a good throughline.
From teams to individuals, everyone was fending for themselves because they couldn’t afford to trust the others.
And it would ruin us.
Yep. This is a pretty damn harsh punishment by the Nine and I love it.
