Added DiffLines:

* EasyLogistics: Averted. Fixing Brockton Bay's infrastructure isn't just a question of money and manpower but also supplies. Two executives who supply tar and aggregate try to make a quick buck by forcing the committee to buy from them. Beyond that, there's also the diesel to fuel the trucks and machinery, wear and tear on the machinery that will be running nonstop for months (minimum) requiring rolling maintenance shops and backups, making sure everyone is certified for whatever tools and machines they use, etc. Fortunately, not only are they following Accord's plan to the letter, which accounts for basically everything that can be predicted, [[spoiler:Danny's]] power prevents or mitigates unpredictable problems such as machines breaking down sooner than expected or accidentally clipping an obstacle while driving.

Added DiffLines:

** Cherish [[spoiler:latches onto Atropos as a potential protector, after Atropos kills the Slaughterhouse Nine. Since Cherie is willing to do anything if it will keep her safe from her father, she quickly falls in line with Atropos' requirements, and soon revels in her new living situation, where she gets trust and responsibility and respect from the Heberts -- especially once Atropos not only kills Heartbreaker, but forces him to undo all the conditioning he's inflicted on his thralls, putting Cherie in a much better headspace. She ends up as a good friend and enthusiastic minion to Taylor.]]
