Well, you have a social life now if you know Hound! A best friend within walking distance is one of the greatest gifts life can give you, and it sounds like you've met a really cool bunch. That's hard to come by. And, being around people like Hound really can help you put things into perspective. Hell, I wish I were there, I'd slide down the rail too! The craziest thing I ever did was I dressed in a three-piece suit and my friend (who is huge and fat and has a huge beard) dressed in a bikini. We snuck into a country club and he chased me (I pretended he was coming after me) and we started by running through the pool area, diving off the high platform, swimming to the other end, running through the clubhouse, and then we had a low-speed chase in golf carts which we abanoned as we escaped through a fence. Everyone was so stunned nobody called the police until after we were gone, and some people were even laughing.

That's good to know about Armata, and it's good to know he has some weaknesses. Too many villains are too powerful. I intend to have Conrad in a pretty prominent role, but as Hound said, he won't be offed. He'll just be part of the larger picture. Hound may even decide to change Conrad's role after it's done.
