I thought what happened with Hans was the way you would go, but the rest of the chapter was filler and to me a good place mark for you to try and figure out which way is up for you.
I hope that you can soon give us a continuation plot wise but please no child assassins after Max; let's get into who is the master mind behind all of this and have Titania, Rick, Max and the girls go full metal jacket on the slavers' asses. And let's not kill all the slavers have the kids have some payback.
