4.04: Time for some thrilling heroics.

[nofileext]

The Mainframe populace go about their business as usual, if disturbingly cheerfully. The air is filled with cars and zipboards, not CPUs and tanks.

Everything's quiet, more or less.

Of course, given the group that's just coming in from Milliways, that's not liable to last long.

"Somehow, I really doubt it." Tommy grimaces. "You volunteered yourself for diversionary leader; I was following someone else, who had bothered to think before doing. What you neglected to do was let the rest of us get back to what we'd been talking about. Maybe this will teach you something about interrupting and acting with haste instead of speed."

Yes, there is a difference, and since becoming a teacher and team leader/mentor for a bunch of high school students, Tommy's tolerance for foolish and impulsive behaviour in those old enough to know better has waned drastically. He squints up at Mainframe's equivalent of a sky.

"Fighting each other's not going to get us anywhere, in any case. What we need is a game, but something tells me that's not gonna happen. More's the pity." He looks back to Daemon. "Danny's probably right, at this point. Keep her from movin' around and doing more damage. Anyone have any better ideas?"

Whether or not anyone has a plan has just become a moot point.

Because Daemon? Has suddenly stopped fighting...
