Cover-Story Vol. 5 — Morgan's Prison Ship
Status: pending · Technique: cover-story-payoff · parallel-arc-structure
The seed
What it predicts
The cover-arc establishes the Marines-as-corrective-institution premise. Parallel-arc structure: Morgan’s captain-fallen-to-prisoner trajectory rhymes with Krieg’s captain-fallen-to-disgraced-survivor (Ch. 67-68).
Forward pattern
The Koby-Helmeppo cover-arc continues toward the eventual Marine-recruit-as-genuine-Marine status that pays off in the post-East-Blue-saga arcs.
