Several thoughts are / have been running through my head the last few days, and since I probably won’t get any respite from them until I put them to paper (or text, in this case) prepare for a bit of a multi-subject word vomit. Don’t expect much in the way of coherent sentences: This is more for blanking my mind than prose. Do expect spoilers in some cases, however.
For the W101 bit…
I have to make a little correction here and say that Vaaiki (the nanovirus they put inside Vorkken) is the one mentioned as Gimme’s personal favorite (which could imply they could have used it multiple times during their whole invasion)
Also I assumed the whole Vijounne deal was just her following the 100 after that the failed attempt (she can’t really follow them during the trip to Lowrule because lava isn’t exactly water) then again this is specula
as for the whole ‘Vorkken getting hit by lightning’ deal, Gimme probably wasn’t able to reach that far because the whole fight took place inside the ice cavern (you can’t really do an aerial strike with a giant stone roof over someone’s head), though that could imply that he was patroling around the area in case of success/failure of destroying the last possible super reactor. (again specula and me possibly not remembering things correctly)
As for the general thing you’re talking about here, as First Officer, he could also have several other duties that have first priority which could be one reason why he doesn’t directly aid the others. Then again, his GEATHJERK file also mentions that he’ll sacrifice anything to succeed, and that could include his fellow officers. As for his loyalty to Jergingha…I guess it’s debatable? I mean it is mentioned that he’s basically there to make sure whatever Jergingha is planning is done, but he could have his own agendas that we (and Jergingha) weren’t aware of. The file may or may not be accurate, even. He could have pulled a Starscream if it weren’t for the fact that he got GIGA MICROWAVE’d.
(I’m so sorry for the entire wall of text I couldn’t help myself. This is specula for my favorite game about my favorite character of course I’d at least give my two cents on it. *A*)
