#bringteshinback

So, recently I was chatting with friends while we were cracking relics as usual. The veteran players remembered that when the Lotus was taken from us, players were annoyed by that purple hologram showing up during missions. In the end, they gave us back the Lotus.

Now, we have Teshin's gray hologram, which doesn't just appear on mission, it literally stands there on the Relay. That means players who go there for Steel Path rewards see him constantly. And, well... It's annoying?

I mean, we literally have a living, breathing Teshin in Duviri. Our very own Teshin.

*I'll add here that one of my acquaintances tried to argue that Teshin is dead. But hell, in Teshin's Cave, there's literally a Narmer Veil lying there, the one he tore off during The New War. And the Drifter, in one of the KIM dialogues, explicitly says Teshin is STUCK IN DUVIRI. Not to mention that during the Duviri quest, they make a point of emphasizing that this is OUR Teshin, the one who fell into the Void.

Now, let's put gameplay conventions aside for a moment.

During one of the Operations, Dominus Thrax literally ESCAPED DUVIRI. An entity tied to that world, in the Origin System. You see where I'm going with this? Even a character who is, essentially, the Drifter's FICTION can make it out into the Origin System.

Teshin was born in the Origin System. He's made of flesh and blood. He has FAR MORE reason to come back.

And then there's the damn Kaya, who literally travels through time.

And in the latest quest, we got Hunhow turning into a kind grandpa who erased his own memory, sacrificing it to a Void entity.

Huh? HUH??

Given that we're dealing with time manipulation, parallel universes, and all that, I feel like we have way too many paths to bring our beloved Dax back alive.

So...

Could we rob another timeline?

Could we break the timeline and pull Teshin out before he ever went to the Murex? Or while he still had the Veil on?

Could we just walk up to Teshin in Duviri and lead him out?

I hope that one day, I'll see a quest where we bring Teshin back to the Origin System. I love him too much to just see his gray hologram on the Relay, and only be able to see him in the flesh in Duviri.

DE, please? 🥺💔

P.S. I'm just gonna drop the hashtag #BringTeshinBack
