it's 1pm at the marsh! come on down, we've got

so, just to make sure im following this right;

sentients are the remnants of an old orokin colonization effort which went rogue. they're now their own fully independent race of mosquito alien robot... Things.

warframes are humans who were- willingly or otherwise- experimented on by the orokin using the infestation so they could be weaponized against the rebelling sentients. except, shockingly, turning people into cyborg abominations against their will makes them more than a little hesitant to follow your orders, so the orokin needed an extra component to puppet their bodies make them function as intended. that extra component happened to be the weird eldritch psychic children from the zariman, an entirely unrelated colonization effort which ALSO went horribly wrong. im sensing a pattern here

this entire child soldier industrial complex was designed and spearheaded by a guy called ballas, who's just. the worst human being alive. an utter piece of shit. the type of guy who had his girlfriend executed for caring about traumatized children and used it as an excuse to feed war secrets to the sentients for his own personal gain. the type of guy who'd go on a ten minute rant about women being harpies before immediately telling his ex's child to kill her with a knife. the type of guy who forced one of his slaves to undergo an agonizing transformation and kill his own son because he felt like normal torture and murder simply wasn't good enough.

unrelatedly(?), natah was a sentient fighting in the war alongside her brother. somewhere along the way she was captured and... i believe brainwashed into babysitting the tenno after margulis' execution? that part is still a little unclear but i think that's what erra was getting at. she helped fight against her own family and eventually push the sentients out of the origin system and into the void.

soon after the end of the war, the orokin empire collapsed in on itself, and ballas went on a "summer vacation" on lua (which was also in the void). he stayed there until we accidentally let him and all of the sentients out during the second dream.

because ballas sucks so much forever, he looked at the replacement for his girlfriend (natah, then operating as the lotus) and figured it was close enough. so he undid the orokin sponsored brainwashing and brought her back onto the sentient's side of the war, which is also HIS side, and now caeru is a sad orphaned candlegirl who's been orphaned a third time in her life.

natah is helping her remaining family finish the war, but her mind and memories are also SUPER fucked up. y'know. on account of the years of brainwashing.

ballas and erra have settled on doing some sort of weird petplay thing in the middle of war preparation...?? sure. okay. good for them.

the man in the wall is also here.

I really like how the scientology speedrunning trend is developing, in this clip we see that the participants are

Not deterred by the closed door

Working as a group

Protecting their identities

Inflicting material costs to the institution via property destruction

Getting away at the end

Lancer Lego Minis

There was a point where I was building these minis, NPCs, and terrain to run an in person Lancer game with, but I never really happened. Was going to use 4x4 Lego squares for the grid and tried restricting mt model sized to fit for that.

Then you got Dungeon Meshi which is like:

You can drop out of JROTC at any time!! ROTC is NOT a military contract, you are NOT bound by anything except maybe a student loan if they've paid for some of your college. Paying off a loan leaves you with WAY better options than staying in the program.
