These guys are really relishing the idea of what the rocket will allow them to accomplish. “It’s like Christmas…” “The pumpkins are ripe…” morbid thought…
This is NOT good, the topsiders are fully warned and expecting trouble. It seems more and more like Flask has bumbled this mission badly. I seriously doubt Wally is hoping he’ll be killed, but it’s never good to be a foot soldier when your commanding officer apparently is.
Captain Flask expects success But she doesn’t mind distress Felt by those among her team That does not affect her scheme Wally’s not to die, she feels And if things go well, she steals The Topside van and weapons, too Bait’s in place.

So, the Topsiders aren’t omniscient…I just assumed they would have knowledge of the whole party, but they have limits, too.

…oh crap. “This time”? Is the rocket a trap the Topsiders are mounting?

Makes sense that other mutant communities would send their own expeditions to try and stop the launch.

Be careful, Wally.Look after him, Holly.“This time”???It looks like a TRAP!!!Flask will wait til Wally and Holly trap the “trappers”.
Excellent points for suspense, Aaron. You’ve got me riveted!
