The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened. It’s only the middle-aged who are really conscious of their limitations — that is why one should be so patient with them.

Everyone’s got plans going on, here.  Jacob was planning to direct drone strikes into the Jian Shi army.  Lola was planning on letting Jacob kill Caera without interfering, to keep her hands clean.  The question is, does Caera have a plan, and if so what is it?  Looks like she better get it going soon.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: I was hoping they'd carpet bomb the place. I could use that against the Jian Shi.
Caera: There must be an explanation.
Jacob: Sure there is. You're a witness, Lola wants you silenced, and she wants me to do her dirty work. As usual.
Caera: You're assuming...that you can kill me.
Jacob: Big talk...for a little girl holding a lightning rod.

  1. Don’t get too close while taunting, and don’t get familiar. Familiarity breeds attempt.

    Kick her ass, i belive in you!

    In Panel 3 Jacob looks just like Bruce Willis! 🙂

  4. SpectralTime says:

    …Why was he holding the gun so low? Why would Lola kill her when she *and* Jacob are both technically “witnesses?”

    Aw well. Action!
