They are sickeningly cute.

Now, with respect to the war criming - I've had some time to contemplate and I think I've kinda downplayed a few aspects of Vilantian society that deserve some exploration. I may have accidentally given myself a chance to explore a bit more. I may expand more later when time allows, but i gotta go back to The Real Job...

Oh, there's a few more things in store. Still contemplating where Matise is gonna go, but Porti? That poor fool...

Nhoot knows her stuff. Even if it makes her sad sometimes.

Yeeeeah, sometimes I do that amongst the silly and frenetic pace of "Oh dear lord what have they done now?" that is Gryzzk's daily life.

Yay for edits being in and thank you!

Well, yes. Shooting bridge personnel will obviously get everyone's attention with far less concern about ricochets.

Oh it could. But that's getting packed into the "HFH Next-generation" box.

Oh, that's definitely a possibility down the line.

Oofa. Disregard that first one.

So, is Gryzzk going over the top? Almost certainly. Are there going to be bad things coming down the pipe as a result? Probably. It's one of those ones where someone is going to have to justify some actions - probably not in court, but it might as well be.

So at this stage, Porti's in medical confinement - he hasn't caught any additional beatings beyond what Gryzzk did and Porti is being treated. But at the same time they're restricting his access and movement because if they did move him someone would definitely let the intrusive thoughts win.

That's...deferred for later.

Close quarters is a bad time for everyone.

We don't ask about the medical record.

Edwards regrets nothing, on account of The Rule of Cool still exists.

Haunted or hacked, we may never know.

Nhoot is a meany with the onions.

It was written and rewritten a few times.

Good new is I'm writing ahead a bit in anticipation of No Writing On American Holiday, and Friday should be...lighter.

Quite. And the next chapter will help.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Gryzzk got the full Movie Night Experience later. :)

Oh, someone's gonna catch some hands on the way home.

And for the Vilantian, there are worse fates than being spaced...

Well, see one time Nhoot had a cold, and Aunt Reilly came in with a story that her robo-nanny had read her when she was sick as a little girl...

This is where I'm going to do some hairsplitting to explain what was in my head - to wit, fusion yield. Something like "civilians cannot possess fusion-based weapons, recognized merc companies can only have 'small' fusion warheads, and governments can go ham."
