That could still be a ruse, but I'm thinking she is probably sincere, actually. She could have kept quiet about the digbots and they could have used them to find Torg's base. Although the digbots are separate from his base they don't know that.

All I'm going to say is I still don't trust her, even if she complies and gives Gwynn the gun.

It's more convincing, but if Schlock thinks Chen isn't useful as an informant (and why would he be if they're already monitoring the digbots), he loses very little by passing this information over. Even Riff's demand is pretty low risk, all things considered..

That look in Gwynn's eyes. Perfect.


And yes, it still goes without saying -- Sasha is a psychopath. You'd have to be crazy to believe her. She's trying to buy trust for a larger gain later. Or at least maintain contact for some purpose.

Curious tho that Sasha wants to talk to Riff specifically.

If Sasha isnt playing games (She totally is playing games) she now knows something that miiiiight be of interest or has deeply scared her. Interesting week this is

Gwynn's eyes are so scary in the first panel...

That's a good demand, Riff! I hope it works!

I was curious about why Riff specifically too. Torg is the one acting abruptly and without question on her information. We know her Intel is true, but Torg wouldn't know.

Torg never trusted Chen. It would be incredible easily for him to believe that he betrayed the team. Plus, there's no way Sasha would know about the Digbots unless Marcus told them.

She's speaking to Riff now, though. Why in person specifically unless there is an ulterior motive?

There's no benefit to riff to having her physically close.

Not with TweetyHoeHoe around, anyway. *ba dum ching!*

Deeply scared her?

I'm still thinking back to when she showed up in Torg's hotel room. How does that behavior tie in with this?

Probably on the she knows something of interest side rather than deeply scared her side.

Yes, Torg knows that her information is correct. Even if he doesn't know for sure about Chen, at least he knows they know about the digbots. However, "she could be lying" isn't what's wrong with acting so abruptly on that information. What's wrong with it is he could be doing exactly what she wants him to do and it would be best to think that out before initiating any sort of contact.

I don't think it does. I think in Torg's room she was trying to apologize, but didn't know how to say it (for whatever reason). Now... I'm not so sure what her plan is. I WANT to believe she's being honest, but I'm not entirely sure.
