it's literally written that there are drones. she is probably in the area just to supervise things but she isn't going to directly attack
It'd be giving stuff away to go into detail, but don't worry about it.
She shouldn't be anywhere within 500 miles, given the Siberian is there and is something she can't deal with directly without the possibility of being atomized. She has wormhole tech and VIs that allow her to control drones from halfway across the universe with zero lag. She doesn't need to be there. At all.
They're On The Road To Hell:
Riley is a child, and Mimi is mentally ill. Killing them if you don't have to is ethically dubious.
She is not mentally ill though? If you discount her power and Jack forcing her to act like psycho, she seems pretty stable, although quite depressed and basically drowning in guilt.
'If you discount her mental illness and the factors exacerbating her mental illness, she is not mentally ill'. Come on man. Just because the mental illness is power-induced doesn't mean she isn't mentally ill. And did you see her in canon? There was nothing even remotely stable about her. (And also, depression is also a mental illness.)
Well, that depends whether you can count being mastered as a mental illness? Maybe you can, I don't really know.
Well, if we look at the situation like that, then it can be said that she indeed has Dissociative ID with her other personality completely governed by alien parasite.
At least when it comes to the law, the cause of an incapacity doesn't really matter. Could be dementia, or a brain tumor, or some traditional mental illness. The definition is essentially a functional one based in what someone is capable of understanding, rather than a list of things that are considered incapacitating enough.
Just as easily done via an invisible drone from halfway across the continent.
Why not? Taylor with the hyper-advanced sniper rifle shooting ducks from 15 km away.
100% agree that Riley is a victim and should be saved if possible (though it should be Dragon doing the legwork), but my understanding was that Mimi's power only affects her mind once she starts using it. If she makes the choice to use it in the first place she is still responsible for the actions taken while under the influence and deserves little sympathy.
Thanks.
The other thing to remember is that Jack is a essentially a master. I'd argue that any crimes undertaken with the S9 should be taken with a grain of salt, assuming there is no prior history.
It's an interesting question, whether he takes away people's agency or not. He doesn't seem to be a human master in the sense that Heartbreaker is, changing what people value on a fundamental level by brainwashing them. What Jack's shard does is communicate. It's fuzzy what that means, exactly, but my impression is that it helps him find a way to talk people into something if a way exists to change their mind with words and actions.
