  1. Regardless of how he got the letter, burning or ignoring it wouldn't solve the problem. Chalmers could write more letters or tell people about it. It was handled in the most effective way short of killing him. The Admiralty's way was to cover these things up. Your read on St. Vincent is totally wrong.

    M's Secret

    Connor is a mess. Between his headaches, nightmares, paranoia, and abandonment issues, there's only room for his anger. M is right though, he's only safe with M.
  3. Indeed. I guess, in the longer term, it will be not that bad for Calvert. George himself has had positions at the court and other positions or times away from a ship and it did not harm him. Still not understand St. Vincents action though. He could have destroyed the letter himself, but opted ‘to out’ Calvert to the king. Could he, if it had already passed through official channels? The horse was already out of the barn.
  4. I spied some knaves the other day hanging out with varlets.
  5. In its original usage, a knave was a boy or male servant.
  6. I didn't expect the Chalmers letter to be dealt with so quickly and with the finality of a grave for Chalmers' career. Being made equerry is a blessing and double curse for Calvert; reputation saved, but separated from the sea and Granger. Will this opera singer become George's new beard?
  7. Sort of what happens when you try to run too much power through anything.
  8. I'd say at this point neither want to leave. I wonder how much power one coupling would make?

    Isn't it always so?

    They wouldn't go after him in another state over a couple of hundred dollars. Connor was surely owed money which would come off of that. I doubt anyone is looking for them for the damaged MIB who's probably not human.

    Will a $25 Big Mac taste better?

    Family

    Connor's family in Florida might be as dysfunctional as the one he left behind, but simply wrapped in a prettier package. Connor seems never to have learned important details of why he was left behind. Compared to Connor, Nathan is a spoiled and bratty slacker. The MIB has caught up with them with frightening ease and has changed tactics by trying to sow distrust between Connor and M.

    Road Trip

    They are experiencing intense highs and lows in their flight. From the bliss of their first sex to another confrontation with the MIB. M lets a glimmer slip with his statement of the Earth being blue from up there and Connor missed it.

    Chapter 13 S2

    SA Lamb will be contacting you shortly.
  15. I think Lyoth, Galactic Hero, already has them slotted in for a long overdue takedown.

    Chapter 12 S2

    My impression of the whole height deal is that Devin's family tries to overthink and micromanage too much. It was a failure since Devin got noticed anyway. You can instill the qualities of size doesn't matter in easier ways. It does serve as an object lesson of what not to do when Devin and Mac become parents. Christmas was a enjoyable affair. Would I be wrong in assuming they recouped the money spent on Christmas with their winnings on bets?
  17. These folks aren't vindictive much are they? And all Quigley did was tell them he was bringing Phentrom and not deliver. He didn't get paid. I hope In tergalactic Domino's has these guys on call blocking. On the positive side, they didn't know their neighbors and couldn't depend on them. It also leaves nothing to move and a heck of a bigger incentive to leave the bounty hunting business behind him.
  18. Not if you have the key.

    Chapter 17

    It's one thing for warrior dragons to have riders, but a Royal Great might be expecting too much.

    Chapter 17

    The story opened our heroes to new possibilities for combat. A dragon with a rider more than doubles their fighting capabilities alone.

    Chapter 17

    I think the Greens are still trying to minimize who knows they can shift. If one thought he could kill everyone and get clear, it's possible.

    Chapter 8

    I agree.
  23. I'd think it would take a spell or some amulet. Just my guess.
  24. Right up my alley.
  25. And people consider me a violent person.
