Category:Team Spaghetti Liberation

The following is a list of items pertaining to Team Spaghetti Liberation, those heroes of the Sodality of Gerosha who chose, during the Beliah Amendment Enforcement Drives, to flee Toklisana and go to Italy (and later, Mozambique), to take the fight to Rappacini.

They chose to resist capture by their SCALLOP frenemies and their frenemies in the Toklisanan government.

By contrast, Team Caged Dove elected to stay behind and deal with the Sodality's (and Toklisana's) enemies that were already on domestic soil, while also suing for the Sodality's right to exist in court. Team Caged Dove did this, realizing that it would all but guarantee that most if not all of their members would be captured and incarcerated, or else placed in an internment camp run by SCALLOP agents who sympathized with them.

Notes: For convenience's sake, characters are to be listed here based on their original intentions on which team to join.


 * Black Rat was never originally interested in being sent to SCALLOP Men's Containment Center, for any reason. He only risked capture later, to lobby for the chance to have Mingmei sent back to China with him, because he loved her.  And, because she finally chose him over Brian Mizgel, in spite her having previously been in a polyamorous relationship with both men.  Therefore, Shing is always considered Spaghetti Liberation.


 * As Steve and Miriam matured more in their faith, they got Mingmei curious about Christianity - in spite knowing how dangerous that would be for a Chinese government agent. While trying to make sense of sacrificial love, Mingmei decides to take Miriam's place in the Beliah Amendments Enforcement Drive.  She later lets herself be sent to the same prison as Celia, to be Celia's cellmate,to protect Celia.  And, in order to honor Shing's wishes and also release Brian from feeling obligated to her, Mingmei allows Lex to stage a scene that would allow Mingmei to fake her own execution before cameras, allowing her to secretly return with Shing back to China, never to return to Toklisana again.  After this stunt, the Chinese government urges Shing and Mingmei to resign, and they escape to a rural area to live out their retirement.  Forked Tiger and Scratched Hen replace them in regards to monitoring Steve and Miriam's activities.
 * At no point, from Mingmei's own calculations, was there any advantage to her going to Italy. So she went with this plan, realizing she was just as likely to be killed from joining Team Caged Dove.  However, she cared more about the mission objective than her own survival; and realized that dying from joining Caged Dove would still be more advantageous than dying from joining Spaghetti Liberation.  Therefore, Mingmei is decidedly part of Team Caged Dove.


 * Keet Kabo may have been forced to work with Team Caged Dove, after she is unwittingly captured by SCALLOP following an accidental crashing of her ship. However, she escapes at the first given opportunity, making clear that she never intended to help anyone except Team Spaghetti Liberation.  So she is considered loyal to this division.  The same goes for Time Capsule, in spite Evan having also been captured early on.


 * While Emeraldon considered running away and joining Spaghetti Liberation, he joins Caged Dove to protect his wife and son.


 * Stephanie Barrin's brain injury condition, brought on by the events in Pilltar 2, was worsening. She knew she needed medical and psychological treatment, primarily from the Gum Arabic Center.  However, that meant letting herself be captured by SCALLOP.  The rest of Team Pilltar, however, joined Spaghetti Liberation; but respected Stephanie's choice to join Caged Dove.


 * To save his family, Extirpon turns himself in after the Second Battle for Dephinapolis. However, he is still considered a part of Spaghetti Liberation, as the strike team divisions were rendered obsolete after the battle.
