In the muse's cauldron:

Warwriter Widow
ScrapperMase's origin
Dunkel's epiphany
Rosie the Ice Riveter
FTL Hush Hush - Rusty's update
The one I'm having most trouble with is the epiphany. What stops an evil creature from doing evil things? With Mase, it was the unconditional love of Daisuke and the saturation of being "evil". Bomber's not really evil. The Nazis believe what they're doing is right and it's the world that's wrong. I couldn't come up with much:
Peer pressure
Someone's better than him (a Peacebringer bested him? Is Dunk the type to believe in revenge?)
He's ostracized from the rest of the Nictus once they find out that he didn't *really* take over the host's body and mind. ("Go live among the humans as a Warshade, but we will summon you when we need you," and when they do, he refuses, then the Nazi hunters get notified, and to reinforce things, he's told the Peacebringers did this.)
Tired of the Nictus (I'm thinking, though, he's a relatively new transplant - say only a few hundred years' old).
He's really a Peacebringer at heart. NO. NO. NO.
He assimilates and accepts Pen's feeling about the world. This I'll have a hard time explaining. It will also have to show that Dunk *is* Pen, but sometimes the two of them have opposite opinions of the same thing - Pen runs into mobs; Dunk hangs back. (That's the nature of the Nova form, anyway.)
Well, enough staring at this page.
