Trent is a most interesting character, one that defied my expectations, just like he did with Jack. It's nice that the brass isn't just some out of touch old geezers malding at some super soldier, there's at least some competence at the elite levels, which will make this conflict interesting.

We've not seen much of the CommonWealth. It's unknown if this is a classic, "relatively good vs relatively evil" or just plain geopolitics. Jack apparently has a bone to pick with them, and, in my own theory, it's because he was once a citizen. It's possible that he, or someone close to him, ran afoul of their own elite class and paid the price. Maybe they killed his fiance, and thus, his desire to use Emma is a form of ironic revenge.

It also appears Jack is well aware of Emma's designs for him, and Trent is ever so quick to pick up on the signals. Trent does appear to have a level of scheming that Jack should watch out for.

Not the most "interesting" chapter, but certainly, the most interesting, in terms of lore. I really like how exposition was handled, it was integrated well and smoothly into the writing. Obviously, building up Emma's apparent invulnerability was a fun scene. This is one of those stories that I'm refreshing gtsworld main page for.
