not even trying to speak for Rod, particularly since I don't know where
 he's going, but remember - this is a BGC fic. NEVER assume the Knight
 Sabers are going to survive. 
 

I do suppose you have a point, but if Priss is going to die by the end of
this, I doubt it will be without getting another shot at the Joker.  In fact,
if Rod DOES kill of Priss, (Forgive me for speculating about this in your
presence ROD) It wll probobly be in a very large explosive fight that's the
climax of the story, as she sacrifices herself to kill off the J-Boomer.

The simple fact is that there are still some fanfic conventions associated
with Bgc, just fewer of them than with other serieses...  one of those is that
the KS DO win somehow, even if it does take the sacrifice of one of their
memebers to achieve that.  And seeing as how Linna and Nene have pretty much
fought Joker to a standstill, it becomes obvious that they will need their
compatriots to have the chance at finishing the Job.  Which says to me that
their gonna rescue Priss and break her out of whatever it is Joker is using to
control her, resulting in a Priss waiting for her next chance at the Joker,
with her hardsuit, and with a clip of PO'd that makes her rage when she went
after Largo look like a child's temper tantrum.
