Well, the good news is that even posting chapters as you come up with them, you are still doing better than LKH in plot and general coherence. :) I liked how you shimmied out of the mutual destruction pitfall (although I am still looking forwards to something like that happening, leaving Maureen the last SUE standing.) The reset actually reminds me of the movie Clue and its ridiculous endings.

Poor Damien. I hope he gets to see Anita, JC, and Nathaniel crash and burn.

I'm actually a little surprised the underground exodus of non combatants took this long to come into being, but I suppose it wasn't narratively important before either.

Also YAY RODERE!
