I am pretty much down with all these thoughts, especially the last two. ESPECIALLY those last two.

The only thing I'm waiting on personally is the fact that very little is known ICly by characters who weren't in NV. So until people start spilling the beans, the characters who stayed in the City are useless to help in terms of putting together any kind of action. Example, right now Kotetsu (as Wild Tiger) has a few ins with Phantasm, but he doesn't know that he should be going to them to gather information or allies.
