Dark Angel Question

[ladyjanelly]

So. Those guys with the snakes and all that?

Um, what the heck was their deal? I mean the big plan that Max was supposed to be the only one that could break it.

In 100 words or less would be plenty. 25 would be great. Because I don't really care, I just need to write around it in a futurefic, maybe.

I'm not sure they ever explained it. Step one, survive snake bite ... step three, profit?

(In the tie in novels, it's explained as some big plague thing that will hit with an astroid or comet, and Max's blood/DNA holds the key to saving humanity from said plague, which the cult were all immune to as a result of those centuries of breeding or something.)

(Or so I dimly recall.)

Big plan was apocalypse. The death of human kind, so the Familiars would rule on earth ( they considered themselves a higher race or something ). Big thing was, there was Familiars just about everywhere, including in Politics; So they had the power to control. There. :)

A detail that you might find important is that Sandeman, the creator of all transgenics, was a familiar. One of his sons wouldn't survive the apocalypse so he created transgenics and specifically Max to defeat the cult's evil plans and save all humankind!

But wasn't Sandeman's son like--just a few years older than Max, and younger than say, Joshua? He was the crazy man who was trying to pass himself off as an x5, right? Or am I way confused?

No you're right. Whoever said canon was consistent? Besides we don't really know how old CJ (the son) or Joshua were.

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

True. Still. I have been reassured by this conversation that canon is so screwy that I will not be lynched if I deviate from it, and may in fact be appreciated for deviating from it. :)

The only thing of true importance that you must remember is that Alec and Ben are very, very pretty. :)

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

So very pretty. Oh yes.

have you read the first little Ben/Alec (ish) thing I wrote? It's under my DA tag.

I just--twins. I broke something in my brain with that. Broke in the good way.

[diane-mckay.livejournal.com]

Loved it. Alec being offended that Ben wasn't hard was awesome! But you know after he heals...

I can work with Familiars in positions of power. That can be interesting. Hrm.

[ladyjanelly.livejournal.com]

Awesome. That helps a lot.
