#someday if i'm bored i'm gonna go back and fix all that shit yikes

Some fun behind the scenes stuff for Dead Brothers Coalition, brought to you by my frantic reread to make sure I manage to resolve everything that needs it:

In Time Wounds All, when Echo has just barely come back to full consciousness, Echo starts to speak but Droidbait doesn’t catch what he says - Echo was trying to ask where Fives was

In Time Flies, the Jedi didn’t know Cutup was Cutup at all (he suspects that for a hot second but it’s mostly that Shaak Ti looked at him like “dang you’re familiar” but as revealed later that connection wasn’t made until after they heard about Droidbait) but they did think he was lying about being a Kaminoan Guard, and was possibly some kind of Force-sensitive - the idea was that maybe either the Kaminoans had secretly made Force-sensitive clones and the Jedi should worry about betrayal from those quarters, or that the clones were hiding Force sensitivity from everyone. obviously neither was true but it sparked a Lot of debates until the “time travel” thing came out

In Borrowed Time, when Fox talks about the senator who’s paranoid after The Food Poisoning Incident, he does not mention the part where he’s the one who caused said food poisoning incident so he would have a low-stakes reason to get Flex offworld so he could desert. All attempts on the senator’s life were fabricated, and also highly satisfying because that guy was a dick

(actually, also in Borrowed Time, the part where Fox says “we don’t need more bodies” is something Hevy read as being derisive towards him, when it was in fact a scathing assessment of clones being treated as cannon fodder. This one is subtext you may or may not have gotten but I think about that line a lot)

(also also the people who get Flex offworld are more of my ocs though they never quite make it onscreen. the currently unnamed twi’lek from my oc-centric wip is the one who swears and climbs up a dumpster.)

Ok last thing about Borrowed Time but Fox fully expected Nel to tell Hevy about Fives as soon as they found out, and didn’t expect Nel to keep it secret for him. He cultivates loyalty very purposefully but doesn’t think of it as real, or something that might outweigh personal loyalty to someone else
