Chewy: Excellent analysis on Chewy and Walker. I couldn't agree MORE with your interpretation of "human" characters. Look at Pro. And the length of your post! I thought I was reading one of my own by mistake..... [Wink] But, as I see it, you must forgive us MBLers, as, the characters themselves don't know Walker's true motivation. To them, they probably just see the EPS as "the bad guys". I mean, they aren't privy to the kind of analysis you've just given. Only to what they've seen in the stories. In any sense, I'll try not to infer too much "evil" on the parts of the group, as, really, I have no idea what they're all about. Hell, I'm just barely making out this new world, as is. [Smile] But, I must say, I never saw anything wrong with Chewy. He's THE MAN! [Smile] Except for his unexplicable need to censor cursing.....what's THAT all about? [Wink]

As for the length of this story, I'm loving it. This is exactly what I was talking about. Just writing to write. It allows everyone to get out what they want to say, and, in turns, allows us to flesh out our characters. As for the main intent of the plot, we'll get there in our own time. That's, for me, the beauty of it. [Smile]
