thanks grimm. I appreciate your advice, and yeah I probably tipped my hand a bit early with the zombies. in the grand scheme of the alternate future I'm trying to create, they're actually a comparatively minor threat, but you're absolutely correct that Grimm would've been a really interesting 'wild card' in that scene (I originally wanted to use him instead of Brianna but wasn't sure how to make the rest of the scene work; next time I'll ask for your advice first). I think I should have, in retrospect, saved some of the vanguardians for later appearances, which in theory is still possible since I haven't accounted for many of the ones who aren't currently with this particular group, but my original hope was that once I laid out enough of the basic background information in this new storyline, others like you or doc or pro or chewy might want to add things to it and introduce other characters - maybe even cut away to entirely different parts of the world where members of vanguard or other figures in the vanguard universe are involved in the struggle in their own way. I do appreciate your advice, as I said, and I'll try to pace things a little better in the future.
