hasty abyss
#

Is she a vampire?

#

Also does fucia count? She is more of a gene edited being roght

#

According to the wiki

Description: Flavia creates hallucinogenic smoke at her position, temporarily limiting enemy visibility within the smoke.

#

So she is relaseing some and it causes people to hallucinate butterflies

#

That is only for her q though

#

Does npt say anything about her ult

wraith parrot
#

Its the same

hasty abyss

#

she spreads a smoke that makes her seem nonvisible to people outside of it unless she actually tries to show herself ie shooting

Obvia bold and gram bold

I'm checking out obvia online and it says free for personal use

#

Not sure what counts as personal use in this stuff tho

#

same with gram

I imagine the bold fonts are just variants of the base font

im kinda curious

what the P.U.S engineer do

like leona

what they build, and why leona join the P.U.S agent

Probably buildings and stuff idk

Maddelena is Galatea's younger sister

ripe ledge
#

ahh, no wonder

cunning zinc
#

I have a theory that "The Scissors" is not some terrorist group but a terrorist organization

wraith parrot
#

Space Lab is literally just one of their research facilities

#

A group wouldn't be able to fund something like that

cunning zinc

#

Samsung big?

chrome palm
#

Unspecified big

fathom hawk
#

like really big

#

big enough that whenever anything goes weong the public's first reaction is "oh its the scissors again"

brittle canyon
cunning zinc
#

Wouldn’t it better for them to simultaneously raid multiple locations?

#

P.U.S is also big but, to fake an entire attack would be the best chance for Scissors to escape with no casualties

gusty skiff
#

also bc of pus security i suppose

#

at least half used to be pus members and although they have intel on the security, they also know it can be complex

dull elk
#

I would objectively speaking classify The Scissors as more of an insurgency than true terrorism. This is because The Scissors have a clear political motive (that is to return to Earth and the natural order of living, and to overthrow PUS), but, most critically, they have at least fairly consistently tried to keep the civilian populace out of the fight.

gusty skiff
#

yep

cunning zinc
dull elk
#

Well, that's a different thing, namely how all the bombs used in the story (and the Demo gamemode, for that matter), seem to use a standardized chassis (specifically the P-4 model).

brittle canyon
gusty skiff
dull elk
gusty skiff
#

the main people they target, when they do, are more so higher uppers

#

like flavia etc

#

who know about the supposed dark truth behind pus yet stay

brittle canyon
#

I start to think, pus just brainwashed people, since some of pus agent age still 16-18

dull elk
#

Or stuff that furthers their own goals, but with a more scalpel like approach (see the intro cutscenes, where The Scissors uses a singular bomb as a diversion to steal a purified crystal).

every time i see the "Nobunaga wakes up in pain" loading text i find it funny

but the explosion was also controlled to only the site iirc

dull elk
brittle canyon
#

The scissors maybe dont have resources and logistics as many as pus have

dull elk
#

If The Scissors' words are to be believed, the rest of the bombs that blew up the tower were caused by Strinova's ACTUAL terrorist organization (New Bethlehem).

gusty skiff
#

oo

#

i forget new bethlehem exists sometimes

cunning zinc
dull elk
#

Probably. The entirety of the Season 2 story is about a bomb crisis in PUS territory where some unknown actor arms a whole BUNCH of bombs are planted in civilian areas to serve as diversion for New Bethlehem actors to break into a bank.

#

There's no objective confirmation, but given The Scissor's modus operandi, I'm more inclined to believe that it was New Bethlehem behind the mass bombings that would endanger the civilian populace, not The Scissors.

dull elk
#

They do. Season 3 talks about how Flavia has been gathering intel on New Bethlehem for some time, and in Season 2, Michele and Kokona literally witness the New Bethlehem attack first-hand and Lawine barging in to basically scream "it wasn't us, we wouldn't stoop so low to harming civilians."

cunning zinc

Damn I’m missing out.

Season 2 and 3 stories are on the Strinova Wiki in translated form - but you have to specifically search for it: https://strinova.org/wiki/Story/Season_2

Closest you'll get in Lawine's unnamed partner - other than that, we don't know.

Unconfirmed/unknown char

#

Biggest plot twist would be that it's celestia/michele/ or navigator lmao and that they got put through the reincarnation reset derpU

brittle canyon
#

if u see the gloves it has no butterfly sign

#

if u pay attention enough, u see kokona expression

#

she's surprised, bcs this unknown person literally shoot lawine

yep, the bracelet

that would be a clue, to find who's this person

Still have no clue

#

Funny she use the gun with left hand

#

Maybe she is left-handed?

stiff magnet
#

New character/Lawines friend?

gilded widget
#

so basically who is the villain here? scissor or pus?

#

i alwas see flavia as villain tho idk why haha

dull elk
#

In short, you've got the imperfect government, the insurgency going against said government, or a business conglomerate with their own interests.

why kokona chasing lawine tho

why not?

Kill on sight fr

waxen latch

but do we have the backstory, or at least some hint about lawine and flavia relation

gusty skiff
#

can anyone fact check if this sort of meme is canon

wraith parrot
somber turtle
brittle canyon
wraith parrot
somber turtle
#

hmmm, she probably doesn't plan to shoot to the point that it is like fatal or disarming, that pointing may be with an intention to negotiate

#

knowing lawine has a former partner who suddenly changed behavior, it may make sense that same person whom kokona saw was her partner

#

and that same person without hesitation shot lawine when reunited while lawine is on the run

stiff magnet
#

Yep. It fits the story.

"Lawine and Meredith concluded that the public had to know the truth, but PUS executives had grown wise to what was going on. A group of assassins was already heading their way.

Amid her escape, Lawine came face-to-face with her partner once more - this time as enemies.

To Lawine's surprise, her partner showed no hesitation. A gunshot sounded, and as a cold bullet shattered Lawine's blade, the warm thread of their friendship was abruptly severed."

NOOOOOO

wraith parrot
#

Gonna dump a bit

#

4 of these are related to time

gusty skiff
#

maxwell's demon is rather interesting

#

So in terms of thermodynamics, there's this thing called entropy. Entropy is basically a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system

#

basically, the degree of chaos

#

now there's technically fast and slow chaos in simple terms

wraith parrot
#

Basically

#

Maxwell's demon pairs with Laplace's Demon

gusty skiff
#

actually no

#

cause maxwell's demon is based on thermodynamics

#

laplace is based on the belief that the past completely determines the future

#

he second law of thermodynamics states that if the physical process is irreversible, the entropy of the system and the environment must increase
entropy is degree of disorder aka quantity of energy over time

#

like

#

flowing water into a hole

#

it will constantly have more water

#

basically it's like faster molecules go to slower molecules while slower molecules stay put

#

but maxwell's demon is like shrodingers cat

#

lets say there's this hypothetical demon

#

and in two chambers, one has fast stuff, the other has slow stuff

#

between the two is a wall

#

if you remove the wall, the normal idea is both fast and slow stuff intermingle to become calm

#

but maxwell's demon is like this stupid demon only lets fast things go to one chamber and slow things go to one

#

ish

wraith parrot
#

An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past could be present before its eyes.

gusty skiff
#

hm

#

like a demon that controls what goes where

#

so it does correlate

fathom hawk
gusty skiff
#

so basically both theory experiments here suggest that there's something in strinova that controls ppl based on knowledge and calculation of everything

#

sorts them into different boxes

#

thinking about it isnt that kinda what happens with scissors

#

against pus

#

at first scissors didnt exist

#

just pus

#

and the agents in pus, lets say fast and slow

#

all intermingle

#

then something in the pus, or this theoretical demon, starts letting the fast things out

#

while sorting more slow things into pus

#

it's not too wild to thing that someone or something is playing with the superstrings' fates and sorting them into different factions, right?

wraith parrot
#

but think of it as a very strong supercomputer

gusty skiff
#

yea

stiff magnet
#

That implies it's not Meredith who created it, she's just the current leader.

wraith parrot
#

It doesn't decide anything

#

It just calculates everything

#

and because everything knows that it is being calculated, it has no choice but to follow that result

wraith parrot
#

and make that supercomputer calculate the everything of the past and the future and there you get the result of the present

gusty skiff
#

at the end of the day, regardless of who created the scissors, they are a reactionary group

#

therefore pus was created before scissors

wraith parrot
#

Known as the Three Sages

stiff magnet
#

True.
P.U.S. basically was created to keep order in new world the humanity got transported to. It's understandable, people need guidance when they are put in new environment. In a way, they're no longer humans, just a string of data, but they try to mimic their human lives, as that's all they know. Obviously, this will create sides. People wanting to live like they used to, people who want to go further and beyond mortal bounds, creating superhumans, and those who just want old values and new era's developments to live comfortably

gusty skiff
#

at the end all i can think is what is pus hiding

stiff magnet
#

shady experiments meant to create beings more advanced than superstrings?

#

at least vanishing of people who suffered collapse syndrome does hint to that

Nah, you give me too much credit. I'm just the right kind of insane.

The right kind of insane indeed xD
But thank you for all the work you do. I'm fueled by lore and story in games.

icy gyro
#

I'm still a little confused

#

Why can't scissors just go back to old earth and stay there while others stay on the other planet?

fringe narwhal
#

trust me

wraith parrot
#

And they're lacking a very important resource that is required to research it

#

The Bablo Crystals

#

Space Labs is one of their research facilities

tepid helm
#

They really turned him into a girl...

wraith parrot
#

Doesn't look like a girl

#

Oh wait, The silhouette

tepid helm
#

The right is before the redesign

tepid helm
wraith parrot
#

Remington?

#

No, The stock doesn't look like it

#

L129A1?

ashen otter
#

we needed more guysss

#

why they do thisss

#

so wait is yugiri actually redesigned rapha?

wraith parrot
#

Yes

#

It's a Barrett, But it's got the stock of the Cheytac intervention

#

yeah, It looks like the MRAD

untold glacier
#

That rifle looks like SR 25 tbh

ripe ledge
#

Yea it looks like a stoner rifle

untold glacier
#

I don't think we need more snipers in the game

#

DMRs Maybe but not snipers lol

ripe ledge
#

That gun is a DMR

untold glacier
#

yeah i know

#

Im saying that "old design" is a sniper

#

Meanie (I was joking)

ripe ledge
#

But I agree, I can't imagine going up against 2 snipers and a DMR

untold glacier
#

Considering devs usually take same weapon and slightly change its look instead of adding whole new "Class"

#

ah no
nvm

ripe ledge
#

Looks too small to be HK417

untold glacier
#

/ or spell that name

timid basin
#

how hard is it

untold glacier
#

yes

#

No idea

timid basin
#

also she uses a g28

untold glacier
#

Which is a mod of 417?

#

if i recall correctly

timid basin
#

417 dmr

#

amazing

untold glacier
#

well yeah a "battle rifle" okay

timid basin
untold glacier
#

yes

timid basin
#

strinova gun design is kinda wack

#

give us realistic design back

#

like the CBT days

untold glacier
timid basin
#

it is indeed a g28

#

its like super fictional

untold glacier
#

Spaceship gun

timid basin
#

that you really gotta be an absolute nerd to figure out by like one line

#

or its profile

#

tf is this 😭

untold glacier
#

Not even nerd could ig lol

timid basin
#

wait

#

the scrapped design has a bolt on it

#

im seeing a handle

#

ts was suppose to be bolt action

untold glacier
#

it was supposed to be M200

timid basin
#

yeah

untold glacier
#

same as Kokona but looked differently

#

And there was another sniper with Barret

timid basin
#

the new design gives us a different gun

untold glacier
#

yes

timid basin
untold glacier
timid basin
#

and for some reason she charges it each shot

untold glacier
#

it actually says in Barret description its Semi Auto

#

so maybe she uses underpowered rounds idk (jk)

timid basin
#

but it behaves exactly like a bolt action

#

or maybe its for balancing sake

#

then again we have reiichi

#

who uses a dragonuv

untold glacier
#

7,62
Barret is a 50 so

#

Even that hes actually strong

timid basin
#

he's the strongest DMRs in game

#

above maddelena

untold glacier
#

they are even going to nerf him i heard so

#

also is that really channel for that discussion?

timid basin
#

what channel

#

this channel?

untold glacier
#

yes

timid basin
#

yes

untold glacier
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Anyways

#

they could have just made it semi auto but make it so that its like
slow to fire

timid basin
#

slow to fire and high recoil

#

:kekw:

untold glacier
#

to let people know when to shot again kek

timid basin
#

but slams players like a train

#

tbh out of all the DMRs

#

reiichi's is the slowest to fire

#

kanami's should behave like reiichi's

#

but fires WAY slower

untold glacier
#

would actually make it a bit easier for attacker sniper

#

which isn't a bad thing

#

Like, it wouldn't drop out of scope

timid basin
#

anyway

#

back to the point

#

all we know it could still be the intervention

#

or a similar looking gun

untold glacier
#

doubt its intervention

#

doesn't look like it

#

looks more DMRish tbh

#

Well gonna see

tepid helm
#

Well if she retains her kit and weapon from before redesign, then her gun would be the same as Kokona

#

yeah

#

that is an angled foregrip

which eliminates all snipers

#

which leaves DMRs

#

moogek might be on the money tbh

#

everything about the sr25 aligns

untold glacier
#

Or it could be G28 as you said

#

They are similar after all

#

Or actually not really

#

They have uh
Mag isn't straight

timid basin
#

look at this

#

and compare it to the shilloutte

Actually yeah

you might actually be right

like bang on

idk

#

i thought new char was urbino

#

apparently its pus now

tepid helm
#

Julian is supposed to be Urbino

#

And if, the kit and gun are still the same, making her PUS will be unfair since her gun was supposed to be the same/modified type from Kokona's gun and thus making PUS having 2 characters with sniper rifle

Who owns PUS?👀

I have not seen it, but if that's what it says...that's an oversimplification at best and probably wrong in a few places...

fringe narwhal

the info i can confirm is bai mo being the leader of urbino

gusty skiff
#

bai mo isnt related to either of them

bc as of right now the only confirmation of sibling relationship are nobunaga and reiichi

#

besides baimo got that green ahh hair

iron pilot

bai mo dyed his hair after both his brothers had a falling out

he used to always steal nobunagas jackets, so nobunagas started writing his name on them

he couldn't choose between his two brothers so he founded urbino, and now he hopes to unite them both

Eika thinks PUS are lame and the scissors are cool

Short answer: basically that. Eika really looks up to Ming as a role model, and one thing after another led to Eika fighting against PUS.

The long answer: see the entirety of CN Season 4 story. Roughly translated version of it is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EdNGMiObdUUiran3gfTRbLwCot6duEoNBw8e_VnEEMo/edit?usp=sharing

what chapter is that

#

i read the manhua just a few chapter

#

until the last chapter

gusty skiff
#

chapter 8

brittle canyon
#

ahh okay

waxen latch
wraith parrot
gusty skiff
#

thats a lot of time related stuff

brittle canyon
#

is strinova has relation with time?

#

i mean scissors trying go back to earth tho

gusty skiff
#

possibly

#

earth as we know it now in ruins iirc

wraith parrot
#

than time

brittle canyon
#

how do scissors restore the earth like before

gusty skiff
#

no clue

#

rn they're mainly trying to get back to earth

brittle canyon
#

yeah

#

still its confusing tho

wraith parrot
#

If my theory about the Bablo being a Type 3 power source is correct, Restoring Earth wouldn't be the problem

brittle canyon
#

once they go back to earth and see earth just like no man's land

wraith parrot
#

They could even make the entire supercluster into a singular planet if they want'

brittle canyon

#

Michelle asked Baimo "But...but you are from Urbino after all. How could the leader of such a powerful business association participate in the assessment of the Opal Elite Team?"

#

no but fr tho if even pus characters have to ask why baimo is there i wonder why baimo is at pus

#

Bro doesnt even clarify his reasoning afterwards

#

"No way? Just treat it as a test of strength (?)"

#

BRO WHAT TEST OF STRENGTH

#

what strength is he testing even KanamiThink

#

the manhua doesnt seem to properly clarify what he was at pus for even

#

coupled with the belong to nobunaga thing on his sweater

#

yuh huh

brittle canyon
#

but idk why

#

baimo on manhua looks not so different if u compare to game model char

gusty skiff
#

yeah his sweater has every thing like his in game model too

brittle canyon
#

meanwhile others just, not so proportional

gusty skiff
#

but not outright canon so

#

take it as you will

brittle canyon
#

inaccurate fuchsia

#

shes not that big

gusty skiff
#

im susprised the belong to nobunaga thing is even in the manhua

brittle canyon
#

we still dont know, whats the "belong to nobunaga" means

gusty skiff
#

fr

#

but i cant see that sweater actually belonging to him

#

cause that green would NOT go well

brittle canyon
#

if they make the backstory of it

#

would be interesting

gusty skiff
#

fr

#

and his attire compared to the others here is ah

#

more casual

#

like on the usual baimo has his vest

#

but at that moment he didnt\

#

and when he says "oh uh do you know where are the other urbino members"

#

the others are in their usual attire

pure comet
#

They imply in login that his spray can was given by a best friend

#

Maybe Nobu is his best friend?

gusty skiff
#

Perhaps

distant kiln
#

so what's mara's deal anyway because i was under the impression death didn't exist in strinova outside of collapse syndrome being super dementia/zombification but if she's stealing people's souls don't they like die

#

or is she just larping

ohhh alright that makes more sense then

About Kanami:

  • Have issue with parents (never get their attention).
  • Her application to be an idol got ignored (rejected) once.
  • She got accepted by Arton Industry.
  • Her supervisor name is Katie.
  • She couldn't formed a group for her debut cuz she's too dazzling and because of that the other ppl who was formed in a group with kanami will be only seen as backup dancer (this is the first time she received such high recognition).
  • First debut in the age 15 in the show open audition.
  • Having a hard time to get a job in the industry and makes katie hired a talented singer named "Natsuyu" to be her vocal instructor.
  • She's not only an idol but also an actress and a guest star (like ai hoshino).
  • After 2 years of hard working, her mini album "Heart Sea" reached top popularity for 3 consecutive months and reached critical acclaim with a Diamond certification.
  • During first tour, a disaster happened and forced an emergency landing and kanami moved to Cauchy District.
  • Ming was the first agent from strinova that's a big fan of kanami and Ming is so happy to meet kanami in Cauchy District.
  • Three days before the agency’s special plane arrived, Kanami held a small spontaneous charity performance in Preton (Garbage city). Her performance made every audience in tears because kanami's music was able to restore wiped memory taht happened because of the PUS reincarnation project.
  • Kanami being active on scissors organization helping Ming to gain information and with that attitude made Ming believe that kanami is willing to join the scissors and the fact that Kanami is confused and don't know what to do since she really don't want Preton people suffering but she can't involved in such dangerous activities with her identity.
  • Kanami's tought is "Who am I? What am I doing?" as Kanami need to understand herself first before she can turly understand the meaning of fighting.

Things I learnt:

  • Flavia is Michele's supervisor
  • Michele is kind of an airhead
  • Lawine and Michele came from the same hometown on earth (likely Japan or China)
  • Ming will beat Michele in a 1v1 fist fight
  • The Navigator really is Celestia's pet, I think the writers understood this as he has little impact on the story and is mostly an observer, the real content is with the playable characters' stories
  • Flavia chose Michele for her role
  • Flavia can be scary when angry or annoyed
  • Michele cheats in a fight with Lawine by using her A1
  • Mighty Meow can stringify
  • Eika sucks at the guitar
  • Eika had a perfect opportunity to say her ult voice line but unfortunately did not
dull elk
#

That and how The Scissors have a whole other ALTERNATE theory on why Collapse Syndrome is a thing.

ripe ledge
#

also, the ideals between factions can get really political

#

lmao

karmic garden
#

aika sucks at the guitar????? NOOOOO

ripe ledge
#

Were they implying Earth somehow has a tether to Strinova?

dull elk
ripe ledge
#

And without the links of Earth, the people are disintegrating

#

They also touched upon the idea that Strinovians still behave like humans despite living in a so called utopia, there is still sunrise, sunset, the need to eat, etc

dull elk
#

Hard to say, particularly since this is potentially a case of unreliable narration (that being, most info we know about Collapse Syndrome comes from PUS, who ain't perfect at best and have sinister motives at worst). Best interpretation I have is that the "tether" is probably some byproduct of how people transferred their consciousness onto Strinova (i.e. you can't just digitize your mind on a whim).

ripe ledge
#

The whole thing of pus, scissors and urbino all disagreeing with each other is kind of sad mainly because of how amicable they are normally when not fighting, it's only when they're pushed to defend their ideals do they start repping their faction

timid oar
#

hello nerds, where i can read good shit lore thingy dingy

#

my friend mentioned that madd is galatea sister and i cant find any info etc

dull elk
#

If you want foundational lore, there is a manhwa in CN only (English fan-translation in progress).

timid oar
dull elk
#

Otherwise, Strinova Wiki is your friend. Some characters (Maddelena included) have character bios on there, and searching up Story/Season 2 or Season 3 will give translated versions of some story content that is in CN only.

#

It's probably non-canon at this point, they've rewritten and redesigned so much

dull elk
#

I wouldn't write it off just yet as pretty much everything lines up as a sort of "prequel" to the events of what in-game story there is with the exception of one minor detail. And AFAIK it's less "rewritten and redesigned" and moreso "they just haven't added anthing new."

#

And I would be more inclined to say that elements of the Season 2-4 stories are at a higher likelihood of being retconned due to the inclusion of the New Bethlehem element.

sleek remnant
#

The seasonal story stuff tho, Rafa is now Yugiri right? And Julian doesn't exist anymore

#

Genderbent tag

dull elk
#

Rafa is now Yugiri, Galatea no longer has firm indication that she's also part of New Bethlehem, and Julian DNE.

# ripe ledge Things I learnt: - Flavia is Michele's supervisor - Michele is kind of an airhe...

About Michele:

  • Michele is a gamer.
  • Her father is the leader of Mighty Meow.
  • Michele's using her gamer mindset for her daily life.
  • Michele and her dad always keeping promise as gamer code.
  • Michele love her dad so much and admire him so much.
  • Her skill pawtector is a gift from her dad for passing the PUS entry exam.
  • Not like usual before her dad going out for mission, he didn't promise with michele like usual. In result, Michele found out that her dad failed at mission this time and get a coma.
  • Michele continues to receive slander and gossip about her father non stop.
  • Michele was devastated and helpless when her father was no longer with her (sleep in coma) but eventually recovered thx to the robot that gifted by his father and she embarks a new adventure and she want to expose the truth about her father case.
  • Michele's thought is "What kind of investigator should I be? What's the truth behind my father's case?" as she wanna move forward and to know what's the truth about her father.

I think the point was that why is a birth sequence even necessary

If it's a digital realm theoretically you could just, spawn people in

That or they have the equivalent of birthing but via digital methods

wraith parrot

if they were purely digital they wouldnt even need resources

why the hell would they need bablo

ripe ledge

Yeah idk

Are they stupid

Strinova is an alternate dimension

not a digital universe

yea and ppl dont age

so how u supposed to grow up

Just grow up??

#

it's not that hard

but u dont age

ripe ledge
#

Just grow up

wraith parrot

Didn't I already explain that in my theory

#

the one that possibly made people here think that strinova is a digital universe

ripe ledge
#

Why are you named anantashesha

wraith parrot
#

Looks and sounded neat

#

People probably started thinking strinova is a purely digital universe because I used easy to understand tech stuff for my theory

tepid helm
tiny ermine
#

So yall saying aika is born in strinova yet the strinovians dont age

graceful crown
tiny ermine
#

Just what im about to ask

#

Not aging means their appearance wont change as well right

fathom hawk
gusty skiff
#

considering how collapse syndrome behaves pretty similarly to the mara struck in hsr, i assume strinovans age like the xianzhou people do

wraith parrot
#

As my theory imposed before, They're Information based lifeforms now, not Digital
If you know Stellaris, They're like the Unbidden now

gusty skiff
#

after a certain age, they dont age physically

#

at least that's how i view it

#

Like how the ppl of xianzhou were blessed with the gift of immortality after they left their old world and went in search for it and stuff

#

similar concept, just different setting

gusty skiff

and ppl with certain powers could also have idk a dlc or smth in their code

A full blown research

dull elk
#

On the aging thing - I'm reasonably sure the intent is that Strinova doesn't literally stop people from "growing older" but it stops aging in the sense of "all the physical and mental deterioration that comes with the natural aging process."

stiff magnet

olive urchin
#

Not sure where youre getting 25 being the hard cap limit lol 😭
Especially since Flavia is 26, and she's been in global since day 1

dull elk
#

I think the point being (generally speaking) is a sort of "aging but with a cap" to get around all of the BAD stuff associated with aging (AKA the aforementioned degradation of physical/mental capabilities).

olive urchin

That's probably the case yeah

#

lemme go CN rq to find out ill let you all know what it says

dull elk
#

But if you can understand Mandarin, go and give those a read for yourself.

ripe ledge
#

Things I learnt from this:

  • Audrey lost her memories due to collapse syndrome, the old Audrey was more ruthless
  • Flavia and Galatea meeting produces as much tension as you'd expect from two bombshells trying to outwit each other and happen to be on opposing factions
  • Audrey and Bai Mo do not like each other
  • Flavia has the position and power to instantly conscript Kokona and Michele to work under her spec ops squad
  • Flavia's position within PUS is so secretive, Kokona and Michele don't recognise her at all
  • Fuschia works/worked directly under Bai Mo
  • Bai Mo plays Just Dance
  • Fuchsia's ability works via inhalation of a "Crystalline" substance administered by gas mask that enhances her senses
  • The Scissors do not harm civilians
#

I think in a weird way, this chapter also highlights how Urbino can fight each other in game

bleak plover
#

collapse syndrome could be a way for the devs to completely rewrite a character if people don't like it

#

it's what it sort of feels like

wraith parrot
#

Flavia works with Information

#

Even members of CIA don't know much of each others or what other members does because each one's files are classified

brittle canyon
fathom hawk
#

audrey got hit by collapse juice once

#

in the story

#

but i think her memory loss was related to an accident instead

#

also idk wym audrey dont vibe with baimo, hes literally her only ally on the urbino board
ig they had a dispute with sponsoring celestia but iirc thats not really baimos decision since hes pressured by the rest of the board to drop support

brittle canyon
fathom hawk
#

she doesnt really

#

considering baimo is the only reason shes not fired

#

or at least the beef is a one way thing lol

timid basin
#

do all strinovans stringify

#

or only the superstrings

#

It seems that only superstrings can do it. There's a few lines about the navigator being unable to do it that imply as much.

its okay tho

#

the lore of every characters still..

#

#

dev need to make team that focus on the story somehow

timid basin
#

they dont know how to cook a story

#

and they're relying on the theorists to figure that out

#

just like a certain blue blocky man

gusty skiff
#

they have a pretty good idea of where the story is heading but

#

they dont focus onit

#

which leads to it not being fleshed out as much as it should be

waxen latch
#

I guess their priority is making the game itself good before doing anything with the lore

ripe ledge
#

I agree

#

The lore has been on hiatus anyway

ripe ledge

I wonder if they're going to retcon Galatea as being part of New Bethelem

#

Or just retcon the faction as a whole

graceful crown
#

Btw was new Bethlehem really just pure evil?

#

Also why did CN hate it

sleek remnant
#

Hot woman can't be evil etc etc

#

Probably, don't quote me on that

fickle drift
#

Surely they wouldn't retcon the entire faction

#

Audrey has some lore relating to them right

tepid helm
#

Idk how they gonna retcon, they changed the gender of one of the member

fickle drift
#

I mean, it's probably easier to change lore of characters that haven't released yet

#

So you can't really call it a retcon, the lore never released

ripe ledge
#

audrey was implied to be close with new bethlehem before she lost her memories, thats what I inferred

stiff magnet
#

they hurt Audrey, china loves Audrey, so they hate New Betleyem.... probably xD

dull elk
#

From a writing standpoint, it's also an obvious big bad with no currently known redeemable/sympathetic qualities in a setting whose worldbuiling is based heavily on the idea of "no one side is pure good or evil."

when counter strike is a pretty popular game

"Actual terrorists" wouldn't even fly here since it's just what P.U.S. could say about The Scissors

Nobody else would have any reason to label it such

timid basin
#

so i wonder what the fate of the existing New Bethlehem members would end up

and what kind of altering will they do

And depending on what the story is behind Outbreak, Seasons 2-4 of CN story might also be completely retconned.
