What if there was no dialogue on this page?

I thought that as well, but I’m even more surprised by Fr’nj.

I quite liked the “repetition”. By this point they’ve all had a serious tussle with the other team, used up some of their best moves. Sure it’s the same, but now . . . it’s personal! By which I mean, they know who and what they’re fighting. Each side understands that the stakes are high, that this isn’t fighting a hundred mooks with banter and style, and that they cannot back down under any circumstances.

The place is the same, but everything else has changed. I think it works

I still am not entirely sold on Bandit rushing headalong into a melee like that. Makes for a great visual, but it seems kind of weird to me. Yes, we’ve just witnessed Bandit stab Hammerhead something fierce, and yes, Bandit IS impulsive and reckless, but if you ask me, that worked mainly because she’s so tiny that she was beneath Hammerhead’s notice, and I’m sure that’s no longer the case (in the case of Hammerhead or any of the other Champions) I can buy her backstabbing her foes to great effect, but not going toe-to-toe with them

Right. Their very first trot out, scamming for some extra ralds to rescue Taro and co. felt working class, for sure. By the time they were scouting Souff Koral they were clearly at least “special agents on classified business.” And certainly being resurrected puts them above mere mortals.

This is the sense in which I read “an us.” A specifically picked and government funded party of all-stars. Which means, if anything, by this point in the first read through is when I stopped understanding the “working class” tagline, if not well before.
