Alright here's my understanding of the current situation:
- Maxie hired Bob Fett to track down Slinger, framing Alfonso
- Maxie also lured Slinger to Wendy's to blow up his ship, using Alfonso
- Witch Doctor is following the Cayde clone
- The Cayde clone is at the very least under the influence of Dr. Death & co.
- No one suspects anything about the Cayde clone yet
- Slinger has betrayed the Lion, Witch, and Doctor (planning to hand them over to the Filer Institute)
- The Institute are totally playing Slinger like a fiddle
- Munchie might be the main antagonist
Is that all good?
Oh yeah and before anyone asks, Slinger didn't
literally create Maxie (at least I don't think so) but merely gave him his powers (like the telekinetic stuff from earlier) as part of the Area 51 experiments all those years ago. How that earned him the nickname "Slinger" is for you guys to make sense of.
