>> Is it possible that she's the equivalent of a fallen angel? A raised demon? Probably not, but stranger things have happened in the UN-iverse.

|

>>> I was definitely getting the sense that Ngo is one of those characters that is implied to be the bad guy, only to be revealed to be the good guy later on.

|

|

|
||
> - Title (eg. Dark Satanic Mills is from William Blake's *And did those feet in ancient time*, and is a reference to the industiral revolution destroying relationships.)
|
||
> - Characters (both main viewpoint, and others mentioned)
|
||
> - Time/chronology.
|
||
> - Plot summary.
|

>> Am not totally knowledgeable on this, but it kind of bothered me because I thought the militarization of the police was a primarily post-9/11 thing.

>>>
|
||
>>> Arguably started in the 60s with the creation of SWAT, but also arguably didn't start until the 80s and the war on drugs. 9/11 didn't help, nor did postwar military surplus being sold to police departments.
