My brain started doing blackflips and drown in seratonin where I read it was another Gully interlude.
Also, FaceTime, my beloved ❤️
May seriously be my favorite minor character in this fic 😁
I think you mean Uppercrust. Uppercase is that one Stranger that changes lowercase letters into uppercase letters on documents and digital media to make formatting errors, the prick.
Also, Gully will need a civilian name. Any bets on what it will be?
Juliana Gullyver, no one would suspect something so on the nose!
For each incident Piggot is in conflict with outside jurisdiction, the National Office effectively strips ENE's administrative powers piece by piece.
I remember that being the point currently: keep her on post while things are still boiling over (since a change in leadership may cause more problems than solve them in a situation like this), but also making sure she can actually use said post's authority as little as possible so things doesn't explode any further. Both metaphorically and very literally.
And I think Prefab was really driving into Piggot's head that that was the current situation without explicitly saying it: she no longer takes decision, HQ does, whether she likes it or not.
Sure, I don't think they think what she wanted was really
wrong, they do need to give Gully a full medical exam, and they, given the circumtances and how things usually are with Capes,
should keep Gully under observation to make sure nothing will go wrong with her. The problem was that don't want her to stay in a place that leaks so much that no amount of Flex Tape could posibly stop it, even after they took extreme measures to counter it, not to mention that they
know Piggot would try to take advantage of it in some way instead of only doing what she should.
AND there is also the issue of the shovel made with enough Dust to make a new continent
AND that Lether gave them a 'don't fuck this up' warning.
