On an unrelated note; Echo is in Australia with Butch and Sundance and I don't want to hear anything to the contrary.
Was that nebulous enough to protect against spoilers?

Echo wants the galaxy to make sense. He wants it all in tidy lines and expected order; but he's not stupid. He's young, sure but not stupid.
If he had his way Cutup would have died face-front fighting droids; Hevy wouldn't have died at all. He certainly wouldn't have been an ARC. Fives might have done that or Hevy. He used to think, to hope really, that the regs and manuals would provide some secret formula, some blueprint that would sort it all out but that is stupid.
The universe is random and we've all got to take our chances.
