FOREIGNER: Discussion Post #7

[krait]

Aaaaaaaaaand we have finally come to the end of things! This is the discussion post for chapter 14-16, our final section.

I hope everyone has had fun -- I've definitely loved the entire experience, and thank you all very much for being such amazing co-readers! :D Congratulations on making it all the way through.


----------
Thoughts on the last section: has it gone in directions you expected at the beginning? Has your view of Bren, the atevi, or anyone else changed dramatically? Do you have a favourite part, or a least-favourite section? Things you still want to know? Secret yearnings to ride mecheita-back over the mountains (or to never set foot near such a beast)? :D

I think I want to ride one that's... docile. :p

Heh, yeah, definitely -- give me the omega-wolf mecheita, please! One who's not going to try to shove her way forward through the herd while careening down hills. :D

I loved the computer stuff, too -- and it makes much more sense, at least in a preserve-the-owner's-life way! Scrambling means they might take time to take the computer to an expert; erased would just mean you throw it away and kill (or try to torture the missing info out of) its owner. Not to mention that, if said owner does manage to escape, he might need the computer again! So erasing it would reduce his chances of surviving after an escape/arranging for pickup.

I want Bren's setup on my own computer. :D
