Armada

The Entire Court: …

Kane: I’m not mad; I just want to know.

Queen: I did. I broke it-

Kane: No, no you didn’t. Phule?

Phule: Don’t look at me. Look at Bishop.

Bishop: What? I didn’t break it.

Phule: Odd. How did you even know it was broken?

Bishop: Because it’s sitting right in front of us, and it’s broken.

Phule: Suspicious…

Bishop: No, it’s not!

Queen: Let’s not fight. I broke it. Let me fix it-

Kane: No. Who broke it?

The Entire Elite: …

Rooke: Kane, Deacon’s been awfully quiet-

Deacon: Really!?

Rooke: I’m just saying–

Everyone: *Starts arguing*

…

Bishop is a coward and has contingency plans, which was why he escaped and survived. Rooke doesn’t consider escape plans, which was his undoing.

Kane feels sentiment for Phule, and doesn’t want to admit failure by destroying him. That’s why he keeps him around.

The whole Court is arrogant and has some dysfunction going on.

Gazpaccio would be buried at the Great Clock Tower.

Kane tolerated Phule’s ‘madness’, but Queen might not.

Phule and Bishop are meant to emphasize that the Armada are creepy.

The Court represents chess pieces, but KingsIsle thinks it isn’t perfect because it lacks a Knight. (When questioned, it was confessed that Deacon as a knight wasn’t a bad idea.)

^ The reason they went with a chess dynamic was to emphasize Kane being in a powerful role. Also because of the idea of a robot being good at chess.

Kane never wiped our Pirate out because he was too busy working on his Grand Design. He knew what he was doing and went for a long game with us.

Phule gets away with saying a lot of things because he’s the Court Jester. He gets to badmouth the King and keep everyone honest by lampooning them.

Phule also enjoys watching everyone else’s lives get complicated.

Kane sends Rooke where he needs his enemies either scared or crushed.

Kane became the Supreme Commander due to the Napolgenuic Wars, and his many successes.

“Not only are you being insulting, but you’re making a mess on my desk. Cease immediately.”
