It’s an odd twist on the whole S.1-2 of JLU, where the revelation (in 1x10, “Dark Heart,” written by Warren Ellis ferchristsakes) of the Watchtower having such a weapon fast-forwards the previous hints of a government effort to ready itself to counter super-threats (which goes on for another season and a half, delightfully).
I can see, in this case, not just Alex wrestling with it, but the rest of the team having some real questions about Alex because of it.
This campaign has been a bit more jocular than the first Masks game. This gives it some darker shades which I think are just fine. In between the fart jokes.
It suddenly struck me as blindingly obvious. Also something Joey might latch onto because just maybe Tahi can do something with that temple’s tech to do something about him.
People feel free to correct me, but I’m pretty certain that’s what I heard: “the same energy signal as the Moose (notes Alex)” That, to me, tightly latches onto your first point. Not only do we have in-your-face example of what that power can do, but that it’s not a nice, clean, innocently-developed power, either.
Which suddenly made me think of another governmental military force adopting interesting and powerful technology it came across …
