yaleh !!

I’m convinced that Faye’s experiments in the Black Sea were all leading toward the creation of that artificial leviathan, and I think it's a part of a bigger plan to crown R.A.F.T as the ultimate power in this world... Think about it. She’s been studying the corruption, and I believe now she’s found a way to weaponize it. And part of her plan is making this construct capable of containing, controlling, or even commanding the corruption threatening this world.

Think about the horrors we’ve seen. The tritons strung up on hooks, the stripped skin, the REAL leviathan bones. I believe all of her doing ties directly to what Gillion saw at the tree... All the bloodlines uniting to seal the corruption away. Faye is trying to recreate that, but on her own terms. Because the world has changed, and instead of seeking unity, she’s chosen domination. She wants to become a single force powerful enough to control that freaky thing all on her own. Once she proves she can command a construct powerful enough to keep that corruption at bay, the world will face a choice to either submit to her rule, or be devoured by the corruption she controls.

And the Black Ops? I think they’re her replacements for key figures across the world, positioned to secure her influence further... Do I think that Mana is fucked if that is true? Yes, very much.

"The day where it spreads is coming, and we'll be ready. Our machine is stable. My son is stable. The new black ops have replaced the lives of their targets. Soon the world will be at the mercy of my justice."

Also in the same recording she mentions a messenger:

"Praise the solar mother. She sent me a messenger to warn it was coming."

It is most definitely Niklaus. Why? Who else fucking brought riptide pirates to the fucking hole to possibly mess with the thing trapped down there... bruh...
