Re: My Theory

If Linderman can heal her, it's still possible the accomplice is Angela though now that seems much less likely...--MiamiVolts (talk) 04:47, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

Ending

Boy, that was an unsatisfying ending. Has that woman never washed her own face? Golly. And maybe I'm the only one who watches the episodes, but that's not quite how (or when) Bennet and Claude meet. Sheesh. For a novel series with such a strong beginning, it sure stunk in the end. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:47, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

• Yeah, what a letdown to not know anything more about the water vamp either. What was up with Haram after Claude hit her with the stick? Did he have some reversing power that turned her dehydrate back on herself? I didn't think the GN explained what happened with her dermise very well at all. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 08/14/2007 09:56 (EST)
  • He grabbed her hands and made them touch her face, so she basically dehydrated herself. There's nothing left of her but her hands. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:34, 14 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Anyone else think that this novel shows only what is in the report, and not what really happened? Claude seems to hint at that at the end, when he tells Haram 'I can fix all this in the report, fudge the facts a little.'. Also, when they can't get Haram on the phone cause he 'retired', I'm wondering exactly what they mean by that...--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:36, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

Timeline inconsistency

According to Company Man, Claude and Noah meet in 1991 for the first time. According to Golden Handshake, Part 4, they already know each other in 1990, Claude is Noah's trainer, and they are made partners. However, episodes trump GNs, so we should not include that little coda of this story where it would contradict a canon source. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:34, 14 August 2007 (EDT)

• For all we know, the events in the Primatech in this GN took place in 1991. In Company Man, Thompson (1990) says that Claude 'will' be Bennet's partner, so it's reasonable to assume this part of the story happened after that when Bennet is supposed to be still a trainee. This could be Claude returning from an extended vacation.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:57, 14 August 2007 (EDT)
