FYI
Regarding your comment below today’s post of Chapter 19 Page 40.

You posted “We haven't seen one of them since Chapter 4.” and Chapter 4 has a hyper link that took me to the wrong location. The hyper link took me to Chapter 3 Page 14. Thought you’d like to know.

Whisper’s former name was ‘Cross’ hence another reason for her manifestation shape a few pages back.

I must've missed the part where Dan got some kind of cranial implant though.

And one would let something like that stuck into one's brainsteam without any kind of protection?
Especially Daniel who doesn't like to stuck things into his body in general...

I've been rereading the archives, and I'm going to correct myself. Daniel does indeed consider getting wireless neural augs in the epilogue (Ch13.05), which are known to be quite hackable (Ch00.04).

Today is 19.43. What is going to be at 19.44?
I suspect they are going to show some of those criminals who were trying to overthrow the government. But who it is going to be? Take your pick:

a) Vaegyr and Larissa
b) Admiral Novosi
c) someone from the current main cast

[vakundok]

Novosi and/or Alex

I would actually vote for Vaegyr and Larissa. Someone did open their pod and took them.

Besides, it is about time for their story arc to develop!

I hate to say it, but this felt extremely televised. Like, Game of Thrones 101 where Ned Stark shoudl have realized that almost everyone at King's Landing are two timing back stabbers.

Hopefully this won't end with every supporting character gets whacked before the finale.

To be fair the the remaining Nazi's, Ernst Rohm and friends were of similar mindset and even more fanatical than the rest of Nazis. Hitler faced risk of either Ernst Rohm replacing him as "not radical enough" or conservative military replacing him as "too radical' if he sided with Rohm.

Rohm wanted his guy on street who beat up opposition to become main military faction and the socialist revolution to continue further in taking from the current elite and giving to the lower class, and used violence and fear to achieve those goals when required. One way or other Hitler was risking a coup, he just wasn't so honest about the details and he used the night to get rid of all sorts of extra political enemies.

(If Rohm had gotten his way and his thugs got to be treated as main military faction, he would have been in position to do coup on hitler similar to what existing military was threatening if Hitler did not reign in Rohm)

In story I think is different issue where other factions are manipulating the main governments involved in war and the "good guys" are the ones seeing evidence of the conspiracy and trying to stop it, so "night of long knives" is the conspiracy guys trying to eliminate good guys.

True. I just hope the minions aren't hit with the stupidity beam that makes them idiots for not taking the right side. I get really tired of seeing supposedly smart NPCs do really stupid and moronic activities.

But which is the right side to take?
Is it those who are in the right, or those who are going to win? Because in the real life this is not always the same. In the long run the truth is usually uncovered (e.g. by historians), but you may be dead long before that if you pick the wrong side.
