With the group involved, Jack ( football player ) is likely the only one with any experience dealing with injuries. Nil’s comments are not troublesome to me, I’ve been an EMT for many years with the local rescue squad and that’s not bad at all. Every one reacts differently. Listen to your patient, Luann has already said yes to Jacks help. The sooner she’s sitting somewhere ( car, chair, just some where) with that sore foot elevated the better!
Look at panel 3, it’s from his perspective. Focus is failing ( brain is shutting down). In “normal” disease & injury processes the brain will shut down higher functions first ( thats why diabetic emergencies are sometimes mistaken for intoxication), in strokes and head injuries again you can lose higher functions as the brain pulls resources back to the stem to survive. His shout to Holly was probably his last functional thought as his brain began to restructure. When this fades- he’s gone.
Highest priority problem I see is whatever Buddibombs Holly may still have. If they begin to seek- they might be what destroys the baby ( after all Holly survives).
@Veteran To me this is just the end game of a society that thinks it can cure all of it’s ills with “BIg Brother”. More complex surveillance & weapons, but the only true deadly weapon isn’t hardware- it’s deadly people. All Holly is doing is inviting the devil to the dance.
The last time that brain was powered there were Jim & Sarah were still around, two that were likely wanted Topsiders. A couple of volts from now that brain is a big intel leak- would have been better off letting it burn in Unity.
I’m no expert either, but if faced by a larger force- charging thru your shots are at the the enemy. So is his…. every shot fired at you is also fired at his on force ( you are a fast moving target in his midst) he stands a better chance of shooting his own forces ( and helping you) than stoping you. Of course, that would depend on a normal enemy- not what this looks like, could be whatever is a little further behind is worse to face than trying to force through here?
