It’s perfectly rational to walk up to the unknown when you have a squadron of soldiers at your back and you believe your enemy has been defeated. But it’s important that you’re right. Then again, if you ask Zoey she’ll tell you that she’s never wrong…

Soldier: Miss, stay back.
Zoey: Hold your fire, guys. There are no genocide men left. These must be delegates.
Soldier: Really?
Zoey: Hey, over here! Z.A. Zenger, Undernet News. Tell me, who are you and why are you --
Zoey: Hold your fire, guys. There are no genocide men left. These must be delegates.
Soldier: Really?
Zoey: Hey, over here! Z.A. Zenger, Undernet News. Tell me, who are you and why are you --
Something tells me Zoey is about to learn she’s not always right.
She’s technically right, which is the best sort of right!
…Except when you’re about to get finely sliced by the I-Can’t-Believe-They’re-Not-Genocide-Men shocktroops. Oops.
Nice knowing you, Zoey. You were a fun character.
The media is never deterred by the facts.
This cannot possibly end well for our intrepid reporter.
She’s dead. Now for the news…”Intrepid Undernet reporter Zoey Zenger was killed today while covering a live news event involving the invasion of the United Kingdom by the Armed Forces of Senegal…”
I believe the troper term for Zoey is “Wrong Genre Savvy”
She’s about to earn the Elijah Lovejoy Award in Journalism handed out by Colby College in Maine every year. Elijah Lovejoy was the first news report to die in America for reporting the news. He died trying to defend his printing press and anti-slavery newspaper business in Illinois against a pro-slavery mob.
…This is a bit of a trope.
There better not be a scene where she tries running away in high heels.
…Is… is this just the chapter where everyone but the main cast is really stupid? First the admiral, now *this*!
Zoey: “Hold your fire guys, were in charge here.”
Soldier: “You’re not my commanding officer, you’re not in the chain of command, you’re not even in our military. Get back or you will be removed forcibly for your own protection.”
@azeldan pretty sure they will stand there like idiots when the commandos zip past zoey before slaughtering them and moving on like it was just your average day at the office. Those running lines does not look like a friendly approach.
Wellp, there goes Zoey. Was nice knowing you. In other news, RUN ROGER, RUN!
