One thing that shines through all the carnage is the unexpected, atypical humanity hardwired in Callan. That’s not a trait l recall encountering in any other male character depiction with his job description. Refreshing.

"Those last two pieces are really helpful because they’re still going on."

What with the title and the time of day, I was not prepared to laugh this hard so quickly.

Loving Marvy! Very fun chapter. Only thing that annoys me about this faceless person throwing the "kill switch" (besides, ya know, throwing the kill switch) is that that point why not just go full kamikaze and turn the soldiers into little bombs. Would've done the trick. Bad guys, eh? Too many limiting beliefs on their end.
