I was thinking of having Marlo run into Mudd in my last post, to begin to bring all the characters together somehow, but then I realized I have no idea whether Mudd is in England with the other characters or not, and that I wouldn't know what abilities Mudd would have anyways. So I went with what was already just happening in the story. There seems to be a convergence going on.
I'm still curious as to why there were U.S. marines in the mountains of Italy or France, or wherever Cicciotto was. It doesn't seem like such a mission would be publically authorized by any government, yet the news reveals outright that U.S. Marines were killed on Italian or French soil. I guess I don't understand why the soldiers were American in the first place.
