Sometimes, when writing a PPC mission, I have found that a scene just didn't go. Other times, a beta reader advised me against a scene. I'm sure this has happened to a lot of you, too.

One such scene, cut from Eternal Balance, was set in FGenMS11, and was to establish the following things about the Venomous Tentacula: It has three lieutenants (Lord Tulip, the Bonnie Blue, and one other whose name I disremember), it does not automatically execute underlings for failure, it does not tolerate infighting among its underligns, and it does sometimes eat captured PPC Agents or disobedient Defectives. Furthermore, Lord Tulip does not like Discworld jokes about its name.

A scene I cut from either The Legacy of Rust or Eternal Balance was to have Tangara's return. However, I was cramming too much in, so that scene got cut.

What scenes have you had to delete?
