I see all over people calling Cecil dumb for leaving conquest alive for questioning but it seems like the most reasonable thing. This is a threat they know nothing about And they kind of have to take any chance they have And knowing what the viltrumites have and what they're capable of would be really important.
However more should have been done, there's a lot of things that could have been. And over the whole time that conquest was unconscious, where they could have done anything. They did nothing. For starters the GDA could have put one of those lobster ringer things in his brain like they did for Mark maybe also a tracker or try something more lethal like a bomb in his brain. Not to mention one of those ringers would be useful for interrogation as well as could probably be set to. If he pushes on his confinement too much it automatically activates. And if it breaks it's going to just keep ringing.
As well as they just want him for questioning. They can completely cripple him. Not to be excessive here or anything, but I think a start would be removing his legs and arms so he's nothing but a torso.
He could probably still break out given that viltrumites can just generate Force from nothing and that thing he's confined in. There's likely no room to move and he just flies up and can generate so much force that he breaks out.
But even if he breaks out if he has no arms or legs, he effectively can't fight. What's he going to do? He's going to fly around like a fucking bullet Bill and try to headbutt mark?
I understand that. Viltrumites have some level of healing factor but not enough to regrow limbs or at least they don't make it seem like it given that conquest is missing an arm however, that could be just a side effect from the virus temporarily removing it.
They could also remove parts of his spine to make him more non-lethal.
And all of these things could be done that don't affect his ability to be questioned. Still It is stupid to do nothing And I don't think it makes sense for Cecil if he was thorough enough to put a thing in Mark's head but not conquests. And just assume that The big slab thing going to hold him but kirkman just wanted a rematch between Mark and conquest so whatever.
