Backstory 53: Commuter Glitch

<<FIRST     <PREVIOUS     NEXT>    

Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)

Ah, that’s where Val currently is? She definitely won’t be caught in the bridge collapse; nope, not gonna happen. Like seriously, planting charges to take out the bridge should have been done long before the AT-hauler dropped the crew off. Minimum blast radius is a thing, and this isn’t even a quarter of the way through the Solo comic yet!

And really? Just one cargo car? That seems... suspiciously out of the ordinary. Like why not have other cargo being shipped as well? Heck, even just shipping multiple cases of the Coaxium would make sense. And if it’s really as valuable as it seems to be, splitting it up to improve the accountability when loading the train would help in keeping any skimming from happening as well. And at the very least, there’s probably going to be guards of some kind. Where else are we going to get a train fight from if they aren’t there?
