Itâs a sunny spring day in the Splatlands, but Sabi and Tay are in the shade. A conveniently large boulder casts a shadow over the sand, where the Octarian Emperor has parked the modified Octobot King to be worked on.
âSeemed like a good idea,â Tay replies, his focus entirely on tightening something inside the mechanism.
âBecause Ribbon had a dream about it?â Sabi scratches his ear. He passes his brother a screwdriver when his hand is held out for it. âCan this even safely leave the atmosphere?â
âIt was a cool dreamâand if it looks like a spaceship, it might as well be a spaceship. Itâs all about the aesthetic. I have no doubt that I could make a fully functional spacecraft, it would just, er, take much more time. I have a lot of responsibilities, you know.â
âWhich is why weâre out here fixing this, and not back underground??â
Tay stops, though not because of anything his brother has said. âDid you hear that?â
Sabiâs ears prick up slightly, though whatever his brother heard is no longer audible. Still, he asks, âIsâis someone thereâŚ?â
Outer Splatsville wasnât exactly the safest place to run into strangers, so it helped to be alertâbut their suspicion was more of an old habit than anything.

"It's all good! Me and Aqua have been talking all friendly again, and now I'm in charge of Cuttlefish Cabin~ I'm like, a big responsible adult now!"
"I'm glad you're all good, Sabi. I know it can be hard to talk to others sometimes - Tay?!?! OMC!!! Mr. Tay, it's me, Emmy! I wanna say hi!!! I wanna catch up it's been such a long time!!! Come back!!!"
âIâm so relieved to hear that.â Sabi relaxes his shouldersâhe hadnât even realised heâd been tensing them. âIâm getting better at going out, but um yes, it can be very exhausting.â Turning to look at Tay, heâs surprised how much distance heâs made already. But the emperor isnât looking where heâs going.
âI know who it is!! Youâll never catch me alive!!â Tay yells behind him, right before tumbling over a cooling box.
"Sabiiiiii! Where have you been it's been ages!!!!" Emmy whined. "Also, where's Mr. Tay? I want to say hello!!"
"Em! I'm so glad to see you! I've been worried." Sabi puts his left hand down, only to clasp it with his right. "You're okay? Been safe? Made any new friends? ... I'm sorry, I've been at home. You're welcome any time. But I've also been helping Tay out, and he'sâoh, he's right over..."
"Tay! Sabi!" Lulu calls out as she rushes over, Lutarna walking behind her. "You guys doing okay? Lulu asks.
"LULU!!" Tay responds with just as much enthusiasm, opening his arms wide and, unusually, being first to go for a hug. "We're fine, except that I haven't seen you in forever! I'll have to send you to the dungeon for that!"
"Oh--hello, Miss Lulu. And another Lulu?" Sabi greets, somewhat confused.
"I suppose I never introduced you to Lutarna," Tay explains for him, although second guesses himself. "I ... think. Something about you is different."

The About and Muse pages have finally been updated! The last thing to do is cover the recent story developments.Â
After Tay went through his identity crisis, there was still a lot to take care of.
Â
Octarian Politics:
Some members of the Royal Octarian Council (R.O.C.) had been deliberately excluding Tay from their meetings. Some were following his fatherâs last orders, some were in the dark, and others were attempting to usurp the system.
In what Iâm sure wouldâve been a really cool and interesting arc, Tay and Sabi rooted out an old friend of their fatherâRock Finbarâa member of the council that was responsible for putting Tay on the throne. He had been using his authority as the late Octavioâs âtrusted friendâ to take over. Finbar threatened to out Tay as a fake as a final act of sabotage, but Tay did it first, revealing his identity as a clone to the underground.
This ⌠went surprisingly well! Many of the undergroundâs inhabitants were born from tentacuts already, so finding out that their Emperor had been succeeded by one was A-OK. For the most part.
Because Finbar was under fire as the one keeping this from the public, it was easy to remove him from the R.O.C. board. There was a re-election for council members, but the newest additions and a few others were voted to stay.
Splatoon 3:
 While octarians had been going steadily missing for years due to Tartarâs interference, a large section of the octarian military disappeared all at once during an investigation. Theyâd been looking into some fuzzy growths taking over a kettle in a broken-down district.
Back on his feet and officially in charge, Tay built a cool new Vacuum Octobot in his plan to find and rescue the missing soldiers. Unfortunately, this mission went poorly when a misunderstanding led him to being beaten up by a 12-year-old.
That said, Octavio came in clutch during the final showdown with Grizz, aiding Molly and Deep Cut to stop the rocket before it took off. After the incident, Ribbon told him a cool dream she had about him building a Vacuum Spaceship. Heâs considered making it.
Even though he found the troops scattered around Alterna, theyâre fuzzy amnesiacs nowâheâs not sure what to do about it yet.
Sabi is also here!!! Moral support!! After Deep Cut chilled out, he got to discuss music with them.
Â
Misc.:
 Tay is looking to appoint a new Shogun, because having both titles doesnât seem right when he doesnât ârememberâ any of his fatherâs wartime feats.
The fact that the Great Octoweapons are filled with failed clones hasnât come to Tay or Sabiâs attention yet. The weapon pilots have caretakers, who would possibly have made this known ⌠if Tay hadnât left the palace and rushed headfirst into the Splatlands.
Reed was adopted by one of Tayâs housekeepers, but still has him visit sometimes. In Tayâs then depressed and inexperienced state, he didnât think he would be a good parent for the tiny octotrooper.
