A Theory Conspiracy...

[Open to all]

[1]

You get a message on your comms from Dido, inviting you to one of the lounges in the Saikhama hanger bays.

Upon arrival, you discover that furniture and tables have been shifted to the side, making room for a chalkboard. A huge old-school chalkboard on wheels, pea-green and with a wood-framed ledge for colored chalk-sticks.

Dido nods to you as you walk in, sternly tapping some chalk to the board.

"So," she says. "Loni and the terrible trio have all the Seals. Soon, they'll make their move to summon the Lady upon this world. Brye and Rani are standing by the wings, ready to hijack the Lady's power and somehow use it to wish away suffering. The Lady herself managed to influence the Lady's Good Men, the UG's foundation and Loni's whole upbringing, despite being in a different dimension. Worse, we still don't know what her true power or form is."

Dido starts writing on the chalk board. "If we're gonna win, we have to figure out what's coming. That means assembling clues, testing theories and answering key questions..."

"What is the Lady, and what are her capabilities?"

[3]

"What does she want to do to our world?"

[4]

"Why did she arrange for the founding of the Unity Group, the Lady's Good Men, and the Terrible Trio?"

[5]

"What's the most direct way to ruin their plans?"


Dido underlines each question on the board, and turns to face you all. "Class is in session, guys," she pronounces.

Most direct? You mean... beat up Loni, I suppose?

The What of what she is... that might take a bit more research. Whatever she is though...

[Calvin's counting off his fingers.]

She can teleport in those robotic minions of hers almost anywhere, and she's got a good number of them.

So we can count near unlimited transport capabilities and manufacturing capability. Both the teleportation and the capabilities of the more powerful machines are pretty advanced so we can count a high degree of technology on the table as well.

She can manipulate information well enough that people believed that there was a funding council and that nobody questioned that Gavin's Uncle was never seen, only heard. That and nobody questioned a lack of name.

We're still trying to figure out where our funding's coming from too...

But from what we've seen she can't directly interact with those seals. Meaning its likely she needed someone to deal with them for her. Hence Gavin... and possibly Eriksen and Arian.

Oh, this is what I'm born for. Which is rather sad actually.

I have opinion on each of them, but I think it'll be better if we discuss this one by one.

First, how to ruin their plan? It'll be easier to find an answer if we actually know what is their plan. If the Unity Group, Lady's Good Men, and Terrible Trio, are all arranged by "The Lady," there's big, no, almost certain chance that if for example we kill Loni or explode the Discovery or do a Sealing Ritual using the purest virgin maiden, it all turned out to be The Lady's Plan All Along.

Tell me if it doesn't sound like a certainty with these kind of villains.

This question might be, as far as I am aware, premature.

We know for a fact that if not for the Lady, her Good Men would not be created and Gavin would not be influenced by her whispers. But do we know for certain that Unity Group was founded thanks to her?
