The architecture of Andrew's plan becomes clear. It's a heist no one can be allowed to discover.
That stall was extremely disappointing after seeing MI6's setup on the RMS Queen Elizabeth in The Man with the Golden Gun.
Eli has always been an observer, an outsider, invisible. This is Eli's natural state. It is quite ideal for what he is to become. If he had never met the Vespers or Lucien, his future would have remained as an anchor to his mother. It's not very appealing.
I would have been more expansive with my last day, but this is Eli. He had an Eli day.
I'm not sure how continuing to see his family will work, but the choice is very Eli.
It's not simply a means like a phone call. Each is always present in the other. As Lucien explained to Eli, even if Eli were to die he couldn't get away from the loss. If this isn't the ultimate possession, I don't know what would be.
When they most need Park for his lethality, they get Bean Boy instead. Good thing Hollis has no eye for ladies. If he had survived the planet, Tweek would have gotten him when he beamed back up.
Eli couldn't watch Lucien kill them. He would have been too much of a sociopath if he could.
One more day as a human. It's not much time when facing an eternty being different.
The election played out as they thought with the Liberals losing massively, but Will won by a large margin. He was shocked by the PM's offer, which will anchor him.
Andrew is far too good at acting surprised. His false holiday will be busy.
The rope is certainly still around the Moon. Barnswallow is proving to be a magnificent place, and they haven't even reached the house yet. I'm sure more surprises lay ahead.
They simply left and the Vespers disbanded. High profile or not, it's only eight people out of thousands. And the founding families will enable a coverup.
