The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

day 107

Coordinated Universal Time.

The system by which every computer in existence now keeps count of the passing seconds.

And I mean that literally. To a computer system "now" is a number that represents the total number ov seconds that have passed since midnight on the 1st of January, 1960.

1960/01/01 00:00:01 is literally the beginning of time as far as a computer is concerned.

READ THE BIG BOLD TEXT

(This is under the assumption that you chose the Drifter in the New War and haven’t played as the operator since, except for The old peace)

Also Spoilers for Obsession

Obsession and Nikki’s horrible experience reminded me of the majority of WF players attitude towards the operator.

So, with above image in mind.

The Drifter (with the operator watching from a void pocket in their brain), this alt you, who looks older but isn’t, they only got a chance to physically age before being exposed to void death, steals all your skills, abilities, friends, and literally universe while you ride around in their head. And no one seems notices. Those that do don’t seem to care. And all the while the only time the operator is “let out” is in the void. And even then, they’re only let out to enter the trauma reliving machine. While the drifter heads back in time to make new friends.

I wonder how that feels. It parallels the warframes that still have some consciousness like umbra but it’s also so much like Nikki.

Especially the scene where Bear ‘talks’ to her on the phone while on the line with the Willow rep. And she’s just screaming.

And that’s not even going into the fact that the KIM system is horrifying. The operator gets to know the drifter has friends. Specific friends that only belong to them. But all of them are off limits.

It could go south very, very quickly.

This isn’t even mentioning how Drifter’s KIM Resetting and usage could veer dangerously close to Ballas in terms of behavior-

to be more specific: Erasing people’s memories so you can get another chance to befriend them and Date them, lovebombing them with gifts, masking and altering their responses to be ones their friends would like. And holding all the power in the relationship.

A post TOP Operator, hell, a post Apostasy Prologue Operator, would NOT take that information well.

^ The imbalanced relationship thing can also go the other way, too! A Drifter who naturally picks all the ‘right’ options is one that is acting as a Therapist and takes on a lot of the issues the Hex have. Disagreement and conflict is discouraged, and whilst Drifter buys gifts and is there for the Hex- we don’t really see the Hex being there for THEM, either.

(The closest instance may be Arthur talking to you about Duviri- but that’s initiated by him repeatedly asking for information on that.

For Gift-giving, I assume the Hex Calendar is actually meant to be that! Though, it would be nice to see it referenced more. Also they never wish us happy birthday)

I like the idea of the Operator being resentful or Also having self-worth issues.

When there’s an older version of yourself and they have all the friends and do everything right. Whilst you never do and don’t. Because everyone you love DIES. And you are more a weapon than a person and this life is not for you

Referenced a Leyendecker artwork for this! :)
