SPOILERS UP TO EPISODE #3

Destroyed the nova bombs but then kept one. What for??? Threat? actually use it?? intersting.

Also, how many of these bombs are they going to find lieing around the place i wonder. One would think that a space station with that many of them might have been noticed in 300 years or so!

I'm going to assume that no one who wasn't High Guard knew about them ... well even Dylan didn't know they were there and he is a captain of one of their ships of the line.

As to why he kept one? Well it makes for an interesting conflict within the character, I think. Someone who doesn't see them as anything but a weapon of destruction who is out to recreate an ideal ... basically his warrior self fighting it out with his idealistic/peaceful self.

Interesting question will be when the others on the ship find out what he's done.

Cheers,

I was glad to see that he kept one of the nova bombs. It shows that he's idealistic but not naive. That was my biggest problem with Dylan at the beginning of the show. I always thought he was so hyped up about restoring the commonwealth that he didn't know things weren't always going to go as planned. Now I see my judgement was premature
