[S1E6] Killing Zone
Mercer is determined to undermine the Krill's mission, and they agree to detonate the bomb themselves and destroy the Yakar. Teleya returns to request the pair talk to her classroom about battle. Teleya is a teacher of Krill children on the ship. Mercer and Malloy attend the class, and soon excuse themselves. Back in their quarters, they agree that destroying the ship (and thus killing all children) would be unconsciousable. Coja, a child from the classroom, interrupts their conversation to ask more questions about Earth and the enemy Planetary Union.
[S1E6] Killing Zone
Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) has two reasons for killing Arvel Skeen (Ebon Moss-Bacharach) at the end of Andor season 1, episode 6. The two characters had a similarly pragmatic approach to joining the Rebels' Aldhani heist, but the closing scenes of episode 6 put Andor and Skeen at odds with each other, leading to Cassian gunning him down. It's an abrupt and brutal moment that reminds audiences of Cassian's cold-blooded nature, first seen when he gunned down the two security guards in Andor episode 1.
On the surface of it, Cassian made the right choice in killing Skeen. The former soldier had proved himself to be a liar and an opportunist, who was only involved with the Rebellion for financial gain. Someone like that is a liability in the Rebellion, especially as Star Wars has already shown how the Empire regularly employs bounty hunters to track down their enemies. However, Cassian isn't yet the icon of the Rebellion that audiences meet in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and his reason for killing Skeen definitely appears to be more personal.
As well as the symbolism of killing his darker, more selfish side, Cassian shot Skeen to continue repaying Nemik for saving his life during the heist. Especially as Skeen would have happily left Vel and Nemik stranded with Imperial officers closing in. Though he's apparently left Vel with Dr. Quadpaw and the freighter, it's only a matter of time before Andor, like Han Solo rejoins the Rebellion, especially as he now carries Nemik's rebel manifesto with him.
Gorn is one of the key parts of Andor's Aldhani heist, acting as the group's man on the inside and the first Rebel casualty of Andor episode 6. Gorn is an Imperial Lieutenant whose hatred for and disillusionment with the Empire came after he fell in love with a local woman, resulting in his demotion and his lover's death. In Andor episode 6, Gorn was unfortunately left out in the open in the vault room when the firefight began, resulting in Kimzi shooting and killing him shortly before he was killed by Cassian.
Taramyn is the next of the group to be killed during Andor episode 6's vault heist. As the firefight that ensued from Jayhold's death rages on, Taramyn and Skeen, both introduced as part of Aldhani's Rebel faction in Star Wars: Andor, are pinned down in the Imperial vault. The duo then attempts to retreat to the shuttle so Andor can fly it out and away from Aldhani with their loot in tow. This attempt sees Skeen covering Taramyn who makes a break for the ship. Unfortunately, one of Kimzi's platoon shoots Taramyn, killing him before he can reach the relative safely of the shuttle.
It's another solid episode, maybe one of the best of the season so far. It was interesting to see characters get out of their comfort zones, like seeing the usually ferocious Beth get a dressing down from Perry, and an even worse dressing-down from Dutton. And as for Dutton, it's also interesting to see a bit more of his humanity in the form of a simple fishing excursion with his buddy Carl, and more of his cute interactions with Tate.
Tommy takes his brother to a bar where they share a drink and Joel begins to realize that he was never supposed to find this place. Tommy has told Maria about the awful things they did to survive at the beginning of the outbreak, which meant killing people and sometimes worse to get what they needed.
Jay Gantz (a lawyer) takes a work call, much to his wife Addy's (a teacher) dismay. They're driving towards Kern Canyon National Park, and had agreed to put work aside. Jay wants for the three of them (including their three-year-old son, Jacob) to get out of their comfort zones and reconnect with nature. Addy is skeptical, and Jacob wants to watch TV. They approach the campsite, abutting the forest and a small pond. Jay deftly unpacks and starts setting up a tent and lights before night falls. Something watches from the cover of the trees once the sky gets dark. As they settle into the tent for sleep, they hear a howl and a figure casts a shadow on the tent wall.
Resuming the trek to the growers' camp, Bob reiterates his opinion of Stan's ill mental health. Addy reminds the men of the strange occurrences, like the deer, which Bob angrily scoffs at. Jay defends Addy and the tense moment passes. They approach the grower's camp, and find it full of bloody and eviscerated human corpses. Bob admits that he conned the pair, and that he had no idea where Jacob was. He made a deal with the growers to bring them cash (and the pair's other possessions and assets), and fabricated the picture and compass. Bob is on the verge of killing the parents himself, when a "corpse" near him arises and bites into Bob's neck. Gun in hand, Bob shoots Jay as the other "corpses" also begin to move. Jay and Addy escape with a pistol as night falls.
Stan says it is neither Bigfoot nor the Australian "yowie". The United States National Park System was created, he says, to keep the general public from being eaten by the "Feral Nation": a subpopulation of cannibalistic and inbred humans living wild in pockets of each National Park. Their origins are unclear, and perhaps as old as the earliest settlements of the continent. Stan believes that the frequent disappearances in the parks are covered up because the parks themselves generate vast tourism revenue. Stan suggests the two think back to Jacob's search party and recall anything odd. Addy remembers a group of Army Rangers, allegedly attached to the search via the California National Guard. The soldiers went into the woods and didn't come back out; Stan says that such units are sent in to cull the feral population in sweeps. He says that the ferals that took Jacob didn't survive the day. He doesn't know what happened to Jacob, nor what has the feral anxious now. He does intend to radio for backup and report that the ferals are out of their containment zone.
The episode opens at night as a group of soldiers from the Planetary Defense Coalition parachute from a plane into a war zone. The PDC squad is attempting to infiltrate a building, but there's another group from the opposing army, the Free Life Party, who want to gain access, too. They exchange gunfire and plenty are killed. One PDC soldier loses her mask and vomits up several glowing blue pellets. The PDC capture the general of the Free Life Party and bring him into the building with them.

The guild was known for torturing and killing their victims.[2] One method of killing players involved inflicting paralysis on a player and then killing them slowly and painfully. Most if not all of the members are skilled in potion mixing, as Kuradeel stated that he learned how to poison (paralysis) water from another member in the guild, hence why they are well known for paralyzing and then killing their victims.
By August 2024, the guild had already killed hundreds of players, thus they were now the number one threat against the Clearers. The Clearers tried to negotiate with them via messengers, but the guild killed every one that they sent. After realizing that they would never stop killing and finding out the location of the guild's headquarters from a member of the guild, the clearers formed a high-level crusade party to wipe the guild out. Fifty high-leveled players (including Kirito and Asuna) went to attack them, however, just before they reached the designated location, the Laughing Coffin members were warned about the incoming party, so they decided to ambush the crusaders instead. Although some of the crusaders were unable to kill the red players, as the guild would not yield, some of the crusaders finally took the initiative of finishing off the Laughing Coffin members. At the end of the battle, twenty-one Laughing Coffin members and eleven crusaders had died, with most of the remaining Laughing Coffin members, including XaXa and Johnny Black, being arrested by the clearers and sent to the Black Iron Palace prison. Somehow, PoH was not found in the list of deceased or captured members, making him the only one to escape the crusade. 041b061a72
