Title Summary:
It's 2037, two years after the death of Linna Yamazaki during a raid on
a GENOM research facility. Linna is lost, Priss has disappeared into a
hell of her own making, and without the Knight Sabers, the world is a
much darker place. Now, though, the embers of hope have been
fanned by the return of one long lost...
Episode Summary:
Mackie returns to Megatokyo in the wake of tragic events, looking to
pick up the pieces... but do the Knight Sabers trust him? And can he
trust them? Pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Leon puts two and two
together, and the Knight Sabers struggle to salvage their hopes.
- Jeebus, after all this time it's still not up on your site? Folks,
- when you _have_ an archive site, make sure you put the fics there.
- It only goes up to part three...
Look again. It's there, as of yesterday.
- Off to meridun...
- Ah, classic, classic, nice ending. But.
- How, exactly, does Case Succession work? If there's some
- transmitter - Sylia jabs or something on the point of death, or an
- implant that -stops- functioning, I could see it, but what's to keep
- Mackie from invoking it whenever the hell he feels like?
Simple. Case Succession depends on Sylia having not accessed the system at
all in a certain amount of time, at which point the system presumes her to
be dead or for some reason unable to function. However, she can also
manually enable/disable it.
This will never be explained in the story, because it really doesn't need to
be. But that's how it works, for those of you who are curious.
- I'd also like to see exactly how Leon tracked Priss down - perhaps
- it's just my Shadowrun experience, but unless you're saving it for a
- future ep, you should at least mention it. Priss was grungy,
- nondescript, and hiding in the middle of nowhere, or as close as
- you can get to it in MegaTokyo. You went to some length to establish
- this, then ignored it...
It helps that Priss is an alcoholic, and therefore *has* to go out at some
point to buy booze. She wants to hide, but she's not very good at it. The
consensus among the prereaders I asked about it was that Leon would have the
capabilities to track her down, and that explaining how would only get in
the way.
