525 | What He Knew

“Gunner’s a Jerk!”

Well, yeah we KNEW that… :P

Gunner may be a jerk, but he is not stupid. If he really knew that would happen, he knew he would get something that is worth loosing a rather powerful minion. Deciphering this is critical, I’ll be in the chamber of understanding….

Please don’t tell me we’re getting two deaths on such a short time! My heart canna take it D:

Powerful in the force he is. (Gunner)

And: The sea aliens are too powerful….run away!

Oh boy, does she get to snap? :D

I don’t think he knew all about it, or he would have made a plan to save the “temple”. He could have seen the demise of some of them, that’s possible, but he visibly didn’t saw everything.

that or he knew the ship wouldnt so easily been destroyed remember the computer said her captain was calling they never saw a captain in the temple wat if they just blew up wat was holding the ship

He probably just knew about the guardians and that they weren’t to be taken lightly. Everything else that has occured, Reona, pirates, ship blown up, wouldn’t have had to been forseen. Had they not been there the guardians still would have been, and they are aggressive toward everyone that isn’t Reona.

Well gunner has shown he is more than willing to flippantly send Naveed into danger without the full information he had available to him and ‘obviously’ not with anything or anyone he considered too valuable {translation: anyone not-psionic}, like Efreem or any of his other psionic assets. I’m not sure how Naveed will take such an obvious lack of concern for her personal safety to not even warn her of what opposition she might meet! Naveed is not stupid, maybe a little passionately reckless but not blind, she may not turn on Gunner immediately…but you can bet she’s thinking about just what about Gunner is really worth such treatment!

She will call a retreat or surrender…. As I said back when the first elemental died “it will affect her” “she does care about them” naveed just lost atleast one of the people that treated her like a person, not a tool, and now ill bet she is going to snag the little one and run, or she surrenders to save the others. Nav’ is isn’t just a killing machine, and i believe that the most dramatic turn around would be her switching sides if not now then down the road, if shes not killed off uslessly…..

Uh… Gunner wasn’t the ship’s captain. Zap was.

Because they say want a nice guy yet don’t give us a 2nd look.

The Satellites represent a threat to Gunner’s power, psionically and politically (as the last of their race), so it’s entirely plausible that he would knowingly send them to their deaths. He obviously trusted Naveed to survive, possibly taking the ship while the Satellites were busy fending off the Aquarians and leaving them behind. I doubt he expected her to get attached to them.

While Naveed is surely familiar with Gunner’s callousness, I think this may be the first time she won’t be able to justify forgiving him for it, or brushing it off. Then again, he may be able to weasel out of her ire by reminding her that he was perfectly confident in HER to succeed…but regardless I think the seeds of doubt have been planted, and she may start to wonder if a time will come when he will discard her thoughtlessly as well.

Naveed seems to reveal a little bit more about herself in each successive page. We may be witnessing the beginning of a turnaround. I doubt seriously that she’ll team up with the “good guys,” but her days of blindly following Gunner may be numbered.

Everyone is noticing the whole “it won’t be as crowded” line, but I’m stuck on the “bring me his ship” line.
HIS ship, after talking about Zap at the end of the previous page.
I’m guessing Zap had something to do with Daedalus as well as Excelsior…

Crap, seriously!? Now’s Ganymede who’s toast? I’m starting to hate the Aquarians… >.<

I’m thinking that it wasn’t the ship itself he cared about, and that Robot might start showing signs of Multiple Personality Disorder sometime soon. Think pink?
