Thanks Samuel95! I might end up having to reinsert Cutup’s death. The advantage of having that scene gone is that (1) the stuff on the surface of the Rishi moon looks awful, (2) the worm looks awful, and (3) nobody cares about cutup. But I think that may be overweighed by the continuity of having him die offscreen and to set up the worm, as you and others have highlighted.
I agree on 99’s reaction to Hevy’s death. Unfortunately it was already quite a quick scene, and removing the references to now-excised content, it now goes even quicker. At least this way he now seems far more certain about joining the fight more quickly, which I think adds to his heroism, but unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to milk this scene any further. I will check again though.
I’ll fix the timing of ‘two weeks later’ too.
Glad these are going down well - keep the feedback coming!
