Leviathan Chapter 6 Summary

  • Alek takes over the viewport as the dreadnaught continues its attack, while Klopp takes the controls.
  • Then Alek has to try to get the archducal flag off the antenna, which really begs the question: Why did they leave it up there in the first place? Doesn't seem too bright.
  • Alek finishes closing the viewport, just as the walker is struck by shrapnel.
  • As the dreadnaught continues its pursuit, Klopp and Volger argue about whether or not a smaller walker would have been a better choice. Maybe save it for later, guys?
  • In the process, Volger and Klopp reveal that they're headed for Switzerland. Probs for the watches and chocolate—oh right, or the neutrality. Take your pick.
  • Bauer and Hoffman are firing at the dreadnaught, which Alek says won't do any good because it's so big. Klopp helpfully reminds him that the dreadnaught will have smaller escorts.
  • The attack leaves Alek in no doubt that his mother and father are dead; he feels empty for a moment, until another attack from the dreadnaught's guns distracts him.
  • Bauer and Hoffman fire the walker's cannon at the dreadnaught, and Volger asks Alek if he knows how to use a Spandau machine gun.
  • He doesn't, but he's going to give it a shot anyway. Literally.
