A&L take the shoulder doll with them OR A is too badly injured so it’s just L and Lucille, the shoulder doll.
A&L resolve their feelings in a discussion OR just L and Lucille
L on killing dolls and being a government agent
A on clown society and what she will do after the mission
Lucille on what will happen to her. She hopes she will be repaired, but she is worried about being melted down.
A&L captured on the road
A&L taken before QA
QA thinks they are plague-bearing reinforcements
Shoulder doll (Lucille) may talk in their defence. But does this effect her chances of repair vs melt-down?
QA believes that the clowns are not planning to invade but doesn’t think she has to help them fight the plague. Are they free to go? They are doll murderers but do the dolls have a concept of murder? After all the destroyed dolls will just be remanufactured, and dolls don’t grow up and have children.
Perhaps the clowns must pay for remanufacture? They are imprisoned with CS while QA thinks of a way to do this.
What are dolls like? What are their values?
They are made in a factory by order of the queen, not born. New queens get made too, occasionally.
Dolls are deceitful behind their mask-like faces.
Also ruthless.
