Mortal Engines Chapter 32

Chudleigh Pomeroy Sees It Through

• Katherine's all suited up and ready to blow up MEDUSA when the Engineer security team blasts in and kills her dog. In case you weren't sure they were evil already.
• They're about to take Katherine and Bevis into custody when Chudleigh Pomeroy and the rest of the Historians show up with guns.
• The Engineer taunts them, "We'll make you history, since history is all you care about!" (32.35). Ugh, back to witty repartee school with you, guy. Lamest comeback line ever.
• A huge fight breaks out, and a bunch of body parts are blown off.
• When the smoke clears, all the Engineers are dead (we hope the guy with the cheesy one-liner is extra dead), and so are Weymouth and Dr. Arkengarth.
• Pomeroy shows Katherine a secret stairway that goes all the way up to where MEDUSA is stored. How convenient.
• Katherine scales the stairs while the Historians stay behind, ready to face off against any reinforcements.
