So I think Matteo is a fine character and his nanomachines should fit in just fine as well. However, I have concerns that the scale of his Plane and his forces is mismatched to basically everyone else, and possibly the story at large. I remember our discussion in the Int Check, where you had assumed that a Plane was basically a planet, and I said that they were as big as they needed to be. So I don't fault you for running with that logic, and as ever I don't want to say "no," but I am basically wondering how you see your character fitting into this story. What relevancy does an army of dragons, or a cabal of assassins have in the face of a fleet of starships in orbit ready to bomb the fuck out of everything? I hope you can see my dilemma here, and I am interested to hear your thoughts.
What if when Matteo was beginning his experiments with spaceflight/space folding, that was when he discovered the other Planes and was contacted by Chaos? Like we was on the cusp of one breakthrough, but made an entirely different, more urgent one as a result of it, leading to his armada-construction going on hold.
Actually think I will call this one closed, unfortunately I had a lot of additional responsibility dumped on me right after this starting getting up off the ground, and I clearly don't have the energy to do this justice. Thanks, all, for your time, and I'll be in touch.
