Welcome back, looks like I'm going to have to back and get reacquainted with the story. Particularly if we're going to be jumping back and forth between Quetz and Hammer.

It's reasonable to assume the Crimson Shield fanatics are all dead, BGJr. certainly seems to have gone through a lot of trouble to arrange this. If Larissa, their commander, didn't see this strike coming it's pretty doubtful that any of the others were any better prepared. I'm not sure what you...

Except that he wants Larissa dead and he wants Hammer to kill her. In his mind letting her kill Larissa will make Hammer loyal to him. Giving Hammer an unloaded gun would not achieve either aim. Hammer is not going to shoot Four-eyes, there are not sufficient reasons for her to do so and plenty...

IIRC the worst thing that Bill Gates Jr. has done to Hammer was threaten to kill her to protect his ship from the Outcast. He did leave her at the mercy of Larissa but has since released her. I'm saying Hammer won't kill him at some point in the future, but right now it is no contest as to who...

Ah yes, going from under stimulation to over stimulation. Although it's pretty clear that Hammer did what she could to keep her mind occupied/sharp in her talks with Jill. Those talks will also have given her the basic "lay of the land", but there are limits to what Jill knows particularly when...

Yeah, messing things up is Whiskey's job... :p

When it's just business, you use enough to get the job done. Overkill is unnecessary and a waste. When it's personal, overkill is a requirement.

Totally understood, but I never said it wasn't "business", just that it was in fact very personal.

Actually this is very personal. When you shoot a cat for no reason it ceases to be 'just business'. Hopefully she's just being a bitch and didn't aim directly at Karma, maybe just trying to screw with Quetz. We'll see.

Well it's good to know her mother didn't rat her out at least. Although that does beg the question what do they want with Karma? Is she some sort of Colonial spy or something? :P

Thanks for pointing out that page, it's been a long since I'd read it and I obviously have some of the factions mixed up. Based on that breakdown it's likely that the woman in this page is one of the mercs. It's likely that Gates hired the mercs, which means that they are nominally loyal to him...

So we seem to have three factions on this small station: two "true believer" factions (the followers of "Bill Gates, Jr" and the radical Colonials--Larissa and her gang) and the "regular" Colonials. Releasing Hammer is not going to please the Colonials, but it's really going to piss off the...

I don't think he's going for Stockholm Syndrome, really. It seems obvious that he doesn't care if Hammer likes him or not, as long as she knows he's in charge. Hence the whole power-play ritual. I'm inclined to believe that his releasing of Hammer has to do with the power struggles on the...

"again"? I honestly doubt this guy does anything but power-trip. Oh and while this definitely has to do with power, I doubt it has anything to do with rape.

I'm assuming this is 'current' with the rest of the comic, although I didn't think it had been quite a year since the Angels left the Outcast. A lot can happen in a year, though. Particularly on a ship that has divided loyalties.
