Even with your previous reply explaining the names, it still took some getting used to. Kept thinking of Tycho as your character and was wondering why he was so out-of-character until Apollo appeared.
Surprisingly cocky in this one. Previous chapters had me thinking Apollo was extremely careful, but while he's methodical in his actions here, he really gives away a lot more than he needs to. I'm curious about how the brat got his blueprints, though. Tense exchange and a good window into the two characters and their motivations.
