"Damn it, Six! We're following that plane, even if I have to pick you up and throw you after it!"

Realisations, Jack Heath Version.

On Jack Heath's blog, he recorded the speech he used for the grand opening of Third Transmission, at the parties in Canberra and Sydney. (Did anyone go? I didn't get to...) I found this comment...interesting. (MAY CONTAIN TRIGGERS FOR THIRD TRANSMISSION!!!!)

The Lab was about was about isolation as an impediment to accomplishment, or, to put it in uni drop-out terms, how it's tough to get anything done by yourself. Remote Control was about how your actions count for more than your intentions. Third Transmission is about how life isn't characterised by happy endings, but by the journey, filled with the people you help along the way, and the people who help you.


And now I shall change it to be more relevant, with my...insights into the actual reasons. (SPOILERS FOR ALL THE AGENT SIX OF HEARTS BOOKS.)

The Lab was about was about isolation as an impediment to accomplishment, or, to put it in uni drop-out terms, how it's tough to get anything done by yourself. Basically: Six making frinds with Kyntak, and becoming friendlier with other agents (eg. Two of Hearts)and learning to work together with them to save the City and not be grumpy like he is at the beginning of the book. Remote Control was about how your actions count for more than your intentions. Six intended to save Kyntak, but was thinking about ditching him inside. Third Transmission is about how life isn't characterised by happy endings, but by the journey, filled with the people you help along the way, and the people who help you. This one will make me cry... right, so there wasn't a happy ending, but there was a big journey (going back in time and forward in time again), filled with people he helped (Young Six, Harry the Robot, Queen of Spades - Ace's Mum) and the people who helped him.( King, Kyntak, Ace, Ace, Ace...) and, shall I add, the people who hindered him... (Nai, Vanish, Reutini Lerke, Chaosonic)

  1. I agree about the Ace thing. She makes him more......... human than in the other books.
