Koby-Helmeppo Cover Vol 13 Artillery Attack
Status: pending · Technique: cover-story-payoff
The seed
The Koby-Helmeppo Chronicle-of-Toil cover-arc has tracked through Vols. 1-12 across Chs. 83-96. Vol. 12 (Ch. 96) was Morgan Runs — Morgan attacks Helmeppo on the prison-transport deck, escapes Marine custody.
Cover-arc trajectory
The Marines-as-corrective-institution premise of Vols. 2-10 collides with the Marines-fire-on-their-own-detainees register at Vol. 13. The chore-boy’s Marines-protect-me framing inverts — the Marines are now firing artillery on his transport.
First field-deployment of the JUSTICE-kanji cape
Ch. 96 pages 7-9 installed the uniform-feature in the formal Marine HQ-interior briefing scene; Ch. 97’s cover is the first field-deployment outside the Marine HQ interior. Forward-pattern: every later Marine-Admiral / Marine-Vice-Admiral on-the-field appearance traces back through this cover-image’s cape-is-the-operational-Marine-officer-uniform install.
