Character mistake: In the Archives for Memory 2484 of Ace Visconti, the text reads that Mika hits Ace with a slashing right hook, and then drops him with another devastating right hook. This is evidently a mistake in the text as The Observer narrating it says she downs him with a devastating "left" hook, not right, despite the text saying right for the second punch.
