Hm. I think this might be something to cover in the accompanying
character profile - his emerging newtype powers, growing up on top of a
bank of MS combat simulators, et cetera. :-)

I hadn't really made that connection - I just figured they weren't trying
as hard to spare enemy pilots' lives...

Then again, he does seem to get over it pretty quickly. I'll see if it
works to mention this someplace in the synopsis...

Yes, but I'd already catalogued every other time Shakti changes hands,
and it does start to get a bit ridiculous when she's captured and rescued
again every paragraph. I figured I'd gloss over that one since it doesn't
affect the plot. For that matter, I was thinking of cutting the bit where
Usso has the option of taking Shakti out of Amelia but decides to leave her
behind, especially since they _do_ rescue her a few sentences later. :-)

On the other hand, they do make great impromptu nukes; you see this used
a couple of times in F91, and it's done all the time in V Gundam. These
super-compact reactors make much better bombs than the wimpy One Year War
versions!
