Well, I liked it. Compelling, intriguing, and...creepy.

This makes me wonder if Vanguard isn't really hiding some deep, dark secret under all their mystery. Also liked that one of his plots FINALLY backfired on Nemesis - but in a good way. Maybe the start of the events that got him to become Mender Silos?
I know, speculation, but I really like character evolution like this.

Very interested in this Dark Dragon guy too now. "At least one of them", huh? Sounds ominous. In any case, liked it a lot. Eerily plausible.
