#lucent arrowhead

instead of team rainbow doing the whole siege of the galeria, the dossoles slum artist community stormed the galleria themselves at high cost of casualties. with tecno animating a pair of scale-model sized of the big burned puppets, they still got through to the roof and beat the fuck out of mateo. reynell still survived, with his fall poorly cushioned by said scaled-puppets... but never got the verbal beatdown+punch from ela, so he didn't learn any lessons/get to do yaoi shit with milosz at the end. (probably)

tecno even like. fucken wonders 'if there had been more experienced mercenaries, would have things have gone better?' and similarly lampshades the retconning another couple times. they make it REALLY clear that the rainbow six operators really helped out what would've been, or rather canonically is, a nasty and unsatisfying conflict. a damn shame 😔
