I hadn't noticed, but you're right it almost looks like she was stopped in her tracks. Almost frightened and confused, or Like she just "woke up".

Oasis' last command was probably to kill Riff and/or Rammer. She probably has no clue why Torg is attacking her and no reason to consider an REA-5 behind her as a threat since her command to defend the Central Tower against attacking REA-5s has been overridden.

Monday spec: A conversation between Torg + Harbinger along these lines:
H: WTF citizen?
T: Don't play dumb with me! *continues to attack H*

Longer term spec #1: At some time in the past H killed DOR on HM's orders because of her involvement with K'Z'K.

Longer term spec #2: HM is still alive, hiding in orbit over the Earth.

Riff and Rammer run into Mr. Dee.
Gennaro heads for the escape pad.
Torg mentions something about getting revenge. Harbinger had something to do with DoR Zoe.
Izzy will freak out because the DFA cannon is activated on it's own without the button-pressing.

End of daily shotgun.

Current Long-Term Spec:
Contrary to Rammer's assumption that the explosion was to kill HM, Riff has successfully "flushed him out" and has him on the run - in a direction he wants HM to go.

Is a weekly spec possible? If so, I spec it begins to rain again during the next week.

Spec for tomorrow (Sunday): Corsica will mutate into something like Michigan J. Frog.

Can't give you credit for a 'what didn't happen' spec, but I'm sitting on the HM part of the spec and will score it when it becomes clear where the shots are coming from. No need to renew this part.

That's worth two points already.

One point for piggybacking the fight and another for shotgunning Torg's aggression.

Same score as the above, for similar reasons.

Revenge for the wrong reasons is still worth two points. Plus one for the freaking out. Weekly specs will count as a shotgun on either your daily or your long-term specs (i.e. if more than one of the specs are right then all but the best one will be worth only one point). Unless you tie it to your long term spec I will treat it as a repeatedly renewed daily spec.

Addition to my earlier spec:

HM is hiding in orbit and is using a satellite-mounted DFA.


For Tuesday:

Torg was chasing Harbinger to try and rescue Riff.

H jumps up to try and knife Torg from above, but her reflexes are still recovering and Torg bats her out of the air.


By the end of the week:

Torg wins this fight in a rather brutal manner, pinning H long enough to go all 'Dark Torg' and deliver a villainous monologue on why he wants revenge.

Rolling - we find out Torg isnt trying to kill Harbinger but distract her so she can be immobilised or DFA'ed

Friday - His Masterness is revealed

Wednesday's shotgun:
Riff and Rammer run into Mr. Dee.
Gennaro heads for the escape pad.
Torg gets a moment to continue fighting by saying something that distracts her a la "Nash Straw's" who-you. He also mentions Zoe.
Speaking of the Straw-man, guess who also went to the southern district? He's watching the Torg-Harbinger fight and drawing a bead.

End of shotgun.

Long Term Spec: Under the Robotics Facility = Dr. Steve's Lab.

Does that really count as spec when we can pretty clearly see that's what it is? Torg even kindly identified all of the buildings for us at the start of this (macro-)chapter.

Yeah, I think this is a little too obvious. HOWEVER ... Pete has not directly given it away with a ref link, so per my guidelines it should count. I don't want to trigger a massive piggyback rush though ... so as soon as it is confirmed I'll give kitoba one point, the 'same difference' as if kitoba had gotten two points and everyone else who was playing had piggybacked and gotten one point.

More interesting I think is whether Riff and Rammer recognize it for what it is. Obviously they didn't recognize it immediately. I'm not sure either of them even know what Dr. Steve or his base look like. Feel free to spec! (I personally don't think they will recognize it or him, but I wouldn't get points for speccing what won't happen, so I won't bother.)

Future spec: The subject of hC comes up with Riff and Rammer.

Rammer recognizes the base and mentions Steve's name. Riff remembers Torg mentioning that name a long time ago.

End of Line.

In my mind, it seems reasonable that any or all of these things would happen tomorrow.
Therefore, they are re-shotgunned.

I'll rescind and forgo the points. Hadn't realized it was that obvious until I saw your link. Thought I was being clever...
