Did you think at any point others admitting doubt about the Colossus project was a plan to entrap Mallik? What do you think happens now following this?

Yes I thought they were going to entrap Mallik. I have no idea what's going to happen next.

I did - I guessed that that was why they were all there ahead of him. I assumed that Carlton had put his suspicions to them and that they were simply challenging Colossus as a way to get Mallik to incriminate himself. I think he gets away and continues to try to thwart Carlton - Mallik may even join forces with Oregon to stop him

>3 bhabeck: I also wondered if Mallik would help Juan's team. At first I thought that there were some of them that had good sense and was going to cast doubt on the project...then I thought that this was just a ruse to get Carlton. I wonder if Ashoka ever had any idea that the "Unknown Nine" would turn out to be like this when he gave out the scrolls?

I'm afraid it took some time for me to cotton on.
I didn't expect Mallik to try to kill the other eight. Now it'll be a head to head between Mallik on one side and Carlton and Gupta on the other.
Of course, Cabrillo and his team will be working to thwart both sides.

Took me some time too, very naive! 😔 Very surprised that Mallik then attempted to kill the others.

I didn't see the whole picture or understand all the reasoning.
