Legacy's Landing

After actively avoiding main quests as much as possible, i was finally out of options and went into Legacy's Landing to visit Alva and met Bohai and the most irritating human yet, apart from Tekotteh: the "Ceo", so funny how they morphed the title into a name. What a narcissistic asshat.

I did love how unique the Quen style was, how their clothing and architecture reflected the sea so much.

The "Ceo" wanted access into Faro's Tomb at the base of the Transamerica Pyramid in a place they called Thebes.

But first, battle with an Apex Thunderjaw. See how i futilely cower behind a rock lol 😅😵‍💫😱

Direct Message (@ DIVINER [Alva])

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Alva. Have you settled in with the outlanders?

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, sir! Although technically we're the outlanders not them?

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Your empathy is going to cause you problems one day, Diviner.

DIVINER [Alva]: Sorry!!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Have you learned anything of note so far?

DIVINER [Alva]: Uh, well, isn't all of the Legacy of note by definition?

OVERSEER [Bohai]: You're dodging the question.

DIVINER [Alva]: I just think it's important we don't lose sight of what's important!!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Alva, don't make me use the gif. You know I don't want to use the gif.

DIVINER [Alva]: I mean, I already copied over everything from that research center, most of the new stuff isn't really immediately relevant!

DIVINER [Alva]: I mean, it's IMPORTANT, I just think it can wait!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: [FuryRoadMediocre.gif]

DIVINER [Alva]: I'm soooory!!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Then tell the truth.

DIVINER [Alva]: It's just...

DIVINER [Alva]: I'm worried that you won't like the truth.

DIVINER [Alva]: pleasedon'tbemad

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Ah. Yes, I suppose my particular leadership style would come back to bite me one day.

DIVINER [Alva]: I'm sorry!!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Alva, I respect you. I respected you before this expedition, and your handling of the Ceo crisis was extraordinary.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Though I remain insulted that you keep assuming even the simplest of lies will convince me.

DIVINER [Alva]: ...sorry.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: The point is, I am going to be perfectly honest with you. No sugar-coating.

DIVINER [Alva]: I'm ready, Overseer.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: I make no promises that you will receive credit for your discoveries. You are working under me, and that means that your discoveries are my discoveries.

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes.

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, of course, I understand, Overseer.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: HOWEVER. I do promise that you will not be punished for any discoveries you make. Not even ones that conflict with the truth of the Legacy as we know it.

DIVINER [Alva]: Really!?

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Really.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Now, what have you discovered?

DIVINER [Alva]: I'll send the first file over now! It's a little big for wireless, so I stripped out the videos!

DIVINER [Alva]: [HZDorientation_packet.pdf]

OVERSEER [Bohai]: It came through. I will begin reviewing it shortly.

DIVINER [Alva]: Okay!

----

OVERSEER [Bohai]: The truth about Faro alone would cause ripples, I hope you realize.

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, sir.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Though I suppose the Living Ancestor was right. By the end, the Ceo was acting like Faro.

----

OVERSEER [Bohai]: A clone?

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, sir.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: You are certain?

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, sir.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: If this turns out to be leading into Evangelion I will be quite upset.

DIVINER [Alva]: Sorry, but I never got into Eva! Aren't we missing like half the episodes??

OVERSEER [Bohai]: No, we have them all, none of you understand complex storytelling.

----

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Hm, I am curious about this "Sylens" character. Why did he never come to us?

DIVINER [Alva]: Well, we were across the ocean, and ever since we got here we were... less than hospitable?

DIVINER [Alva]: Actually, I thought he might be a Diviner!

OVERSEER [Bohai]: If he is, I have never heard of him. Do you have an image?

DIVINER [Alva]: Yes, Aloy gave me one of her better stills.

DIVINER [Alva]: [JerkFace.png]

OVERSEER [Bohai]: No, I do not recognize him. As loath as I am to admit it, he seems to have discovered all this on his own. How frustrating.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Regardless, you have given me much to think upon. Please forward to me anything you suspect to be important, especially agricultural data.

DIVINER [Alva]: Oh! I did find one thing that I think the Imperial Family might find interesting! My friend Erend told me about it!

DIVINER [Alva]: [MetalVsMeatTrailer.mp9]

OVERSEER [Bohai]: ...that might be the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

DIVINER [Alva]: Oh.

DIVINER [Alva]: Sorry.

OVERSEER [Bohai]: No, you're right, the Imperial Family will certainly find it interesting.

DIVINER [Alva]: Yay!

DIVINER [Alva]: …

DIVINER [Alva]: Um, are you going to steal the credit?

OVERSEER [Bohai]: Oh, yes.

DIVINER [Alva]: [Pout.gif]
