RCN Series: Difference between revisions

* [[No Kill Like Overkill]]: Actually, they were just playing it safe in case one of the others missed, but one hostage-taker got shot through the lungs by Hogg -- the slug penetrated a brick wall '''before''' it hit the guy's torso<ref>Yes, Hogg was [[Improbable Aiming Skills|aiming without a direct line of sight]], based on what a spy camera showed him of the fellow's position. And yes, with his first and only shot he scored a hit that would've been fatal all by itself.</ref> -- shot twice in the side of the head by Adele, and shot three times in the other side of the head by Tovera. And then Daniel [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tackled him.]]

* [[Not So Different]]: Adele has the "particularly unpleasant" realization in ''The Sea Without a Shore'' that, if faced with a situation much like the conspiracy that got her family killed, she would advise crushing it in exactly the way Corder Leary ended that one -- with mass killings. Elaborating on that, she thinks if Daniel had been running the Republic, he '''wouldn't''' have ordered the massacre ... at most he might have looked the other way while "his advisor, Lady Mundy," [[I Did What I Had to Do|gave those orders]].

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Adele's [[Dead Little Sister|entire]] [[Harmful to Minors|family]] was killed by Daniel's father during a failed revolution on Cinnabar. Daniel was disowned by his father following his mother's death.

* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: The bad guys mostly come from the "[[Star Control|Alliance of Free Stars]]."
