    Default Something Wainfleet forgot to do...

    Ok, remembethe part where they are about to blow up hometree and Trudy is like "I didn't sign up for this!" and turns around? Why didn't Wainfleet say anything to Quartritch? You know he would have, Did he forget? He couldn't have! what's up with that?

    I think, in the end he was more loyal to Trudy than Col.Q

    Wait, how do you figure that? Trudy decided to be on the other team. He was still trying to kill them. (and ended up getting stomped to death)

    This is a major plot hole in the movie, the reason she wasn't imprisoned is that she has to bust the gang out of jail but we don't see how see avoided imprisonment. Either in the confusion no one thought to arrest her or she delibrately hid umong the storage sheds until no one was looking. Either way it is a bit of a cop out, perhaps their saving it for an expanded universe novel/comic/pinball game.

    I don't really see why she should go to prison for not obeying his orders..

    she probably got a warning. its not like 1 helicopter missing from the action would've made a difference anyway :P so no need to be locked up. besides, when you **** up don't you usually get punished by doing chores rather than being locked up? they would rather make you useful than useless so that's probably why she had to bring them food, too bad it was the perfect way to get into the cell and free them :D

    i believe that wainfleet did tell colonel coffeecup about her actions at Hometree,and what she said in the Samson,as she does not appear to be in radio comms as she breaks away from the Hometree destruction and heads back. of course,colonel scarface knows she went home,but for all he knew,she could have had mechanical problems,so he would've needed some insight from her crew,which was wainfleet. in the deleted scene where wainfleet is reporting back to colonel egomaniac,from the destroyed mining vehicles and AMPsuit,the colonel calls wainfleet by his first name,lyle,suggesting a more closeness between the two,other than professional. i believe wainfleet was very loyal to coffeecup,and was embedded with the pilot of the science crew,Trudy,to report on them,just as coffeecup embedded Jake Sully in with them also.

    We do not know what happened after Trudy broke ranks and went back to base. We do know that whatever happened, it wasn’t enough to lose her job or be placed in the brig. Her excuse was “I didn’t sign up for this,” and not having mechanical troubles with her machine. Remember, all of the SecOp Mercenaries were company employees, not part of a Military Unit. She was a pilot which was considered an important assignment in the company. Since she was probably in good standing with the company, at most she would get a verbal and a short paragraph added to her records, but that would be nothing really. Wainfleet was the assigned waist gunner for Trudy’s Samson with the likely task, based on his relationship with Coffee Cup, of keeping tabs on the Science Team. Lyle probably was pissed because he couldn’t help blow something up. I would assume that Lyle would be the one b#tching to Trudy. J

    Alwayz been curious about this... But mainly, because RDA knew Trudy was Jake's, Norm's and Grace's pilot, so therefore, when they 'imprisoned' the three for 'betraying' the RDA (There's already been a discussion about that particular precint), I only wonder how they could have sent Trudy to do that job feeding the 'prisoners', knowing she could be 'flipped' aswell, you know, as she was their pilot in the Halleluiah Linker site, and she flew away 'suspiciously' from the Hometree destruction. And we know Wainfleet is a bitch, but I'm just hoping he was actually more 'loyal' to Trudy, as she is the Captain The only thing I thought of, sorry If I'm sound naive or something, that her and Max organized that by themselves?

    does it care? I doubt if Quaritch cared about trudy. because she did scientist flights. so for quaritch she was another "science nerd" and wainfleet couldn't do anything because trudy was flying. and even if wainfleet reported to quaritch he couldn't do much.

    it has been said before. probably trudy got some kind of punishment that is why she was bringing something to eat. (but that could also be a joke just to get the waiter away.)
