    Boimler and Tendi are rarely paired up for their A/B-plots, as well as Rutherford and Mariner. I was kind of disappointed much wasn’t done with that, they were just kind of … there and it was Boimler and Rutherford’s story chiefly. Not much character interaction between the duo. That made it a bit funnier when Rutherford was like “Tendi is right” and Mariner was taking a bit of umbrage to that.

      Yeah a little bit of a shame how inconsequential the pairings wound up being, but still a fun outing. Also I enjoyed how both A & B plots dealt with AI threats with one being silly but existentially deadly, and the other AI being superficially deadly but relatively harmless.
