The Blog of Roon

Shirley’s conversation with the duck ended well enough. The repercussions of his little trip have yet to be determined.

But since Shirley can’t leave well enough alone, he just started a Serious Talk with his wife’s ward Esperanza (the GM’s non-player-character). It’s a risk for him, a major one—but he’s an honourable chap and he hasn’t much (honourable) choice in the matter.

Classic Li would be to shrug it off, but I’m kinda hoping that isn’t what’s going to happen. I’m fearing a replay of that truly dreadful moment in Star Trek: Voyager when an outraged Chakotay faced with the latest spy begged to know if anyone on his Maquis ship was actually working for him, an artifact of the “we have a secret so let’s overuse it” school of plot management.

We shall see. Li’s a better plotter than that.
