How much of a public knowledge is it that Tach was kidnapped, by the way? Just wondering if Kiro'd know he was actually kidnapped or if she'd just think he "mysteriously vanished".
I figure I oughta do this as a VM rather than clogging up the Battle sign-up thread.
But yeah, if Tach's about to kick it, then yeah, Kiro'll need another Master. Though, I MIGHT (note: That's a big might) hold off on signing up for a new Master if she's gonna be dragged around by Bac's character.
He was on a kind of 'pilgrimage' in the forests around the Temple recently. I could say he saw her kill Atreia but forgot by morning. He could walk up and scream 'Lain' or something.
It sounds far more glorious than it was in reality... I hadn't showered or slept in almost forty-eight hours, I hadn't eaten anything but a MRE, and I had a thick layer of sand and dust covering my entire body. But yes, it was one of those rare moments I enjoyed myself to some degree.
Actually, they put another soldier under me, gave me a Humvee, then said, "Uh, yeah... just drive around and make it look like we're actively patrolling." So I just drove around in the sandstorm with my iPod touch blasting AC/DC, jumping sand dunes, etc... fun stuff.
