>Oops. SOrry. Nah, my own fault. You'd think I'd have learned by now. I just feel sorry for Phil. Here he is doing all this cool stuff and I go and distract everybody with a throwaway ref about a gun that was intended as a hook for a subplot that subsequently didn't work timewise and had to be discarded anyway. That'll teach him to accept my help. :)
In fairness, if that subplot had worked, paying attention to the gun would be a good thing. But it didn't, and by the time I realized it wasn't going to it was too late to take the reference out of Mission 1, so I just had to run with it and hope it wouldn't cause too much fuss. Which, like I say, nobody to blame but myself there, right? If I had done my subplot due diligence it wouldn't have gotten left in Mission 1. Still, let's all let it go for now, yeah? I do hate to be constantly reminded of my own semicompetence. :)
