* She's always been delightfully snarky, but Tagii really gets to show her stuff in the ''Random Access Memorabilia'' arc, from [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-07-01 providing overwatch]] against [[ItMakesSenseInContext zombie supersoldiers]] to [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-08-05 effortlessly curbstomping]] an attacking warship flotilla. Keep in mind that these zombie supersoldiers were easily on par with Kevyn's streak of badassery during ''The Pointy End of the Stick''.

** She was beautiful ''[[{{Pettanko}} before]]''. That makeover was kind of a letdown.



** Pfft, she had the combined fleets of just about all of humanspace for that. But no mention of her ''charging a '''Battleplate''''' (the most powerful individual starships in existence, not counting the Fleetmind) ''with an unarmed diplomatic ship?'' And ''[[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20071216.html winning]]''???
