Well, it seems Last Full Measure is popular... At least with @InBrightestDay, who graciously leaves another review. (On the opposite news, I'm starting to think I might just need to replace the shelf.) From InBrightestDay on March 24, 2019 Well, I feel rather conflicted with this one. I mean, since Chapter 1 Celeste has been putting herself and others in danger by hiding her illness. On the other hand, I can't help but feel bad for her because...well, woman's mentally ill, and is in that state because of horrific trauma. The same applies to other characters. Lian and Adara are covering for Celeste, which could well get her (or them) killed, but you can understand why they're doing it too. It's unprofessional, and normally when you care for someone as Lian and Adara clearly do for Celeste, you want them to get help, but right now, removing her from the team will mean...what? There aren't exactly surviving therapists on Hecatoncheires given the monster attack, so they'd have to keep her under guard, I suppose, which would use up yet more personnel, whom they are going to need if and when the monsters return... So yeah, sympathy for everyone's decisions here. On the other end of the emotional spectrum, I laughed a lot at the swearing in this chapter, with my personal favorites being "Holy flaming dogshit!" and "Fuck me with a spoon." Finally, we now have confirmation that this was notdone by humans, but what are these creatures? Now Celeste and a small team are going underground, which is usually a bad thing to do in a monster movie, so things are likely to get dicey… *** Well, I feel rather conflicted with this one.

So yeah, sympathy for everyone's decisions here. I will admit, I was really worried about adding that in. On one side, I know that to many people, it makes Celeste selfish and, as such, unsympathetic as she is actively putting people in danger knowing her condition. On the other, to some, I know it would be sympathetic; a flawed character in the way that people could associate with. In the end, I kind of went for what worked for the story (even if, to some, she becomes disliked and hated). On the other end of the emotional spectrum, I laughed a lot at the swearing in this chapter, with my personal favorites being "Holy flaming dogshit!" and "Fuck me with a spoon." Lol. I'm glad you laughed at them. I certainly wanted to avoid the "direct" approach. And, while flaming dogshit is not in my vernacular, "well, fuck me with a spoon" is definitely one of mine when it comes to being surprised. Finally, we now have confirmation that this was notdone by humans, but what are these creatures? Now Celeste and a small team are going underground, which is usually a bad thing to do in a monster movie, so things are likely to get dicey… Well, I certainly hope it comes out as dicey. Its definitely trying to be written like that. Lol.

Desperation is the mother of tyranny. Dark days incoming. Article 11 and Article 13 have passed.
