[@Platinum] -- normally I'd wait to respond until I got my own reviews done, but I'm actually working super hard all week on a job application... ANYWAY -- from my perspective, Paul Mackenny is the real main character of the story. Cole is the POV, and we spend a little more time with him for that reason, but Mackenny is Sherlock Holmes and Cole is Watson. If you squeeze them together hard enough you get Indiana Jones. But yeah -- Mackenny is the one who leaves everyone behind to take it for himself, and I sorta made you sit through the aftermath of that decision, rather than showing you all the benefits it probably had for Mackenny.
