I had been wondering why she wasn't producing any BD recently, I suppose if she's actually deluded herself into thinking no one would want to see them that explains that. I'm guessing that means no BD (and thus no reactions to BD) of Motoko playing RockerGirl band...

Nice chapter, the way the paper contract was described I'm guessing there was something fishy there that they missed? Probably referencing a different revision than the one they agreed upon.

I wonder what the reactions to that BD would be if she shares it?

Several reasons 1)Good body armor is very expensive. Most people who get ahold of body armor like Motoko's crew did either have to sell it to buy stuff they need more or use it until its damaged and then can't afford to have it fixed. 2)While armor is good, image is also very important, Motoko's...

@49ersfootball I'd appreciate it if you stopped tagging me in this thread.

Very nice chapter, and interesting take on what to focus on in the reprimand. That's certainly a valid issue but not what I would have focused on if I was the Lt. Everyone screws up on occasion no matter how careful you are and while he certainly should have been more careful I would have...

That isn't fair to the readers and giving SB too much credit. While there were a bunch of silly readers who got out of hand, when the SB moderators intervened they made it clear that the content of the chapter was problematical as well, although they were "generous" enough to let it go unless...

It's equally possibly that without him there wouldn't have been a failed February(march) revolution and instead a successful revolution in July. The point isn't that his death/disappearance wouldn't cause butterflies, but that there were a bunch of other people around who could and would take...

Highly unlikely. This is not something that the SI would be able to remember enough to solve, or even if he did belivably solve even if he could convince Ford he comes from the future.

Nope. If you go by WoG with her shield dropping for several seconds GG is easily subdued by any guy with a gun who just kept shooting at her. If you go with a more logical small fraction of a second you'd need two guys with guns, or a molotov cocktail and a gun, or some gas attack, or any number...

while Worm canon is a bit contradictory on the subject the base premise is supposed to be that parahumans are very much NOT invincible and most can be killed by some punk with a knife and some luck, with nearly all being vulnerable to soldiers with decent weapons and training. I'm not sure if...

Why? The only advantage in that seems to be national security in which case it's something the various dukes and the Archon or some other branch of the Lyran government to handle. If the Catchan Arms ever gets to the point they have cash and no where to invest it on Catchan (which they are VERY...

The bigger question is if there's justification to accept all the higher costs involved because of the location, higher gravity, deliberate isolation. Remember they have only a limited amount of manufacturing capacity, why should they be making Lumberjack mechs (which could be made at lower cost...

Sure, but military reforms can't really start until the political reforms are complete to allow you to get rid of the corrupt and incompetent.

I knew it was that bad and worse before she started fixing things, but I thought by this point they were mostly fixed with the main problems being incompetent idiots who hadn't been identified, not that things were still so bad she couldn't even fire someone who so obviously deserved that at a...
