FOREIGNER: Discussion Post #6

This is the discussion post for chapter 9-13.

I am now heartily wishing that I'd looked at chapter content as well as at page-counts, when setting up the reading schedule! (I thought even then it might bite me, and it has!) This reading was composed of a hundred pounds of action, a hundred pounds of disconnected info-bites, a thousand pounds of questions, and half a gram of explanations! My brain was churning faster than Babsidi's legs, but reached even fewer coherent thoughts than Bren manages.


On the other hand: yay, mecheiti icon becomes more appropriate than ever! :D

I was thinking .22LR or .17HMR, because I forget that airguns distinct from airsoft exist, haha. BB gun is equally plausible, for people who aren't me! :D

I like your headcanon on what "taking the obvious course" means. I still think that if there's a combination, the end result is still probably a favorable number, even if that means one of them is essentially meaningless, like "betrayal that doesn't actually harm anyone" or something. :D

That makes a lot of sense - even if he knows the words as of the latest book, he'd still probably say fourteen to other humans, since they shouldn't know, and I bet he might not even know them then!
