What? The chips build storyline! Example:


You find chips

You lose chips

You search for chips

You find chips You don't find chips

You are lost Your shuttle crashes in harsh environment


Etc...



If it weren't for the loss of chips, none of the above would situations would have a point!


PLUS Shade said to later reference the chips. I did.

PLUS Thunder PX wanted an impact on the story because of the chips.


I'm doing the Episode a favor.
