Great new chapter!
Well, revolutions are rarely pretty. And when it's with a society that is not used to stuff like that, it's even more hard. The fact the war only ended due to Nor's "natural" dead is bittersweet irony.
The sad thing is: I'm pretty sure Clark and Zara wouldn't have been against no longer being at rule and working with the NK population on a solution that works for them. I think the big problem here is lack of communication/miscommunication. As in, the "rulers" were not allowed/able to to get in touch with the resistance groups, and their leaders weren't let through to them. The sutpid council stood in the way in the middle and blocked everything from either side as they were too obsessed with their own power and short-sighted thinking. In a world without stuff like socila media and possibilities of free interconnection/getting to know each other, that's all hard to work out. HAd they been able to get into talks, I'm sure that outcome could have been avoided.
Love the reason why it all came out. VEry credible, no traitors, and such a little thing none of them thought about.
I didn't even think about the telepathic/empahtic aspect of the NK's and how that could make the group hate/emotions boil wiht everyone feeding off each other there, especially when that's something they'r enot used to. Like they were always told the council is in control of thing but after that proved to be wrong, there was a lakc of direction and everyone set everyone else's twirling emitons even more at heat. Yeah, that would get screwed quickly.
RIP Zara and Ching.
Hrm, after knowing the whole story now, I kinda get why Jor has such a grudgy attitude towards Clark. I mean, form his POV, both of his parents/most important people in life were left behind/sacrificed so his "father"/the man who lied to him all his life could get away with him instead. I can see why a part of him wishes it would have been his mom or even Ching instead and why that part is angry of Clark for having "stolen" their place in the ship. That might also be osmehting Clark, himself, has not realized yet. And all the trauma...well, fuck. I assume this kid will also need a serious therapy to deal with this stuff.
Anyway, good chap, now looking forward to the present stuff, the adjusting of all of them and so on. Keep it up!
