Heheh.... Yeah, it'd be sort of irresponsible for the Peacekeepers to drop the kids off at a daycare and not pick them up after to walk them home. ^^ I think they sort of felt bad about dumping them there, even if they did have to lay down the law, and wanted to throw them a bone.

It's weird; on paper I'm not SUPER crazy about the Both Sides Have A Point trope, I'm sort of indifferent to it, but it tends to be a lot of fun to write... In particular through this whole arc I'm trying to present the Peacekeepers and the kids as each having solid arguments for their actions. The Peacekeepers moreso, since they're the ones legally in the right, but I like that the kids tap into a sort of feeling of injustice at how trapped they are in their current situation. Lore's right; they're not clueless or helpless, and have plenty to contribute. The kids still needed to sit the adventure out, just to show they can be mature, but it doesn't make them any less competent.

I think that now that she's seen that bit of maturity and reasoning from Lore, Protocol is more willing to really give them a further benefit of a doubt and listen to them.

Even though it hasn't been discussed yet, Protocol's origin story has been figured out for some time, and her line in the last panel is a reference to it. We'll be finding it out fairly soon, but Lore's speech has a good reason to resonate with her.

This page is sort of hard to comment on since it's pretty much saying everything important in its content and doesn't need me explaining it. Plus I've been playing MK11's new story mode all day. If Shang Tsung wasn't my favorite member of this cast before, he definitely is now.

Yeah, Protocol's backstory is something we've had in mind for a long time, but it's not really had the chance to come up yet. It'll be happening very soon, really curious what people are going to think when we get to that.

Think that's the biggest thing that stands out with this page, a bit of a transition one, but on the whole am pretty happy with it; this is where some rewriting first really started to come up since as originally scripted this was more or less the end of this sequence, with the teams a bit more amicable to each other. I told Adam that I'd rework the scripts a bit around here for various reasons and so that led to this and some of the stuff to follow.

Either way, we are still pretty close to the end of the chapter. I think this one will end before the next Wright as Rayne one begins? Not 100% certain on that but pretty sure. In either case hopefully everyone enjoys.

So how does Grant have Protocol's number? Very interesting, wonder what's going to happen next.

This was a really good chapter and I love the close up to Gibraltar, he looks less like a plant when the first time I saw him and more like a lizard which makes sense with his whole Rock power.
