I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but if not...

Has anyone else gotten the impression that the three storylines we'll be seeing before Kerchak's shopping trip are essentially one big Chekov's Gun expo?

The first storyline introduced the escape and operational freedom of an advanced AI.
The second one introduced a shoot-anywhere space cannon.
The third... well, too early to tell.

What are the odds that each of these plot devices will play a crucial role in the war with the Pa'anuri?

How do we know that Kerchak's shopping trip is related to the war effort against the Paanuri? Could be some new threat entirely. But yeah, I'd say the odds are pretty good that this is all going to tie together in the end. Could the Chekov's Gun for this storyline be Tagon's new eyes and the disappearance of Karl tagon and Kevyn McFly?

Surely the Chekov's gun is the 30km long unstoppable supergun that can vaporize heavenly bodies anywhere in the galaxy without warning and possibly untraceably...
