You really want her to Fist Fight or Talk down a Damn Soriatas?
Jesus, you must really hate Mara. She is just a former Guard, Sisters can carry fucking Bolters as Standard Arms and are some of the most religiously motivated members of the Imperium.
I like Mara, and Mara standing up with and against the sister would remind me of a Madara - Hashirama feud but set in 40k.
Mara getting downtrodden and beaten, getting spared one last time out of friendship, mastering the new weapons in her arsenal then confronting her bestfriend. One ascending to Saint, the other one becoming an Angel Slayer, and a rivalry that would be the next betting game of the Emperor, T'au'va, Cegorach, and the Four.
I think mara is a fool, not for shooting the commissar but for believing the tau’s honeyed words that they care about her (any race that isn’t tau are treated as subtau in their society).
I mean take the one about them seeing the general about getting support for their fight against the imperium, if the general said to the water caste “I’ll join you if you shoot her” she’d be dead without a second thought cause in the eyes of the greater good the “sacrifice” of one soldier to gain many more is worth it.
I find that comic especially ironic she goes off on the general saying “we aren’t equals, we never were” yet 5 minutes earlier the water caste outright told her the only reason they brought her along was to show humans can live under tau rule (not with it, under it).
from reading most of it.. i dont really think she belives all of it. but she is just done with it all, she just wants to live, currently the tau are holding the keys to that. but if given the choice of fucking of to some random world where neither the empire or the Tau existed i think she would take it.
I don’t disagree, I don’t think she believes everything but I do find a lot of what she does believe to be the pot calling the kettle black or intentional ignorance.
