It's alway nice to have one's paranoia vindicated.
Okay revelations and speculations about the nature of the audience will wait.(who were supposedly dead according to Intruder. But I guess he cpould have been wrong, it seems authors themselves have no real idea of what's trully going on, nice to see even godlike eldritch abomination have metaphysical uncertainity of their own to contend with. Maybe the 'higher' ranks of the 'publishing process m'ight know more but that seems so far up above.
The image is ambiguous, the giant eye could be seeing the figure explode jsut as it could be striking it down with laser vision for all we know, and the smaller figure looks like an autho but ti could be any very simplified humanoid, so.... maybe refrain to take any interpretation as pure fact untill we know more. It might be interesting to search for that Redwood scientist tho, such an interpretation deos seem odd for someone who should be under AOD brainwash (see North's reaction as a point of coamparaison), that is intruiguing.
I don't think the Paladin AI has any more trap in it seeing as our CWS already messed with it to remove the Mind Reaper but I understand not wanting to take risks. The prudent thing would be not to mess with it. Either erease it or put it in sleep mode on an isolated server unconnected to anything. That said there is something else we can use it for if we 'convince' (understand: reprogram if needed) it on the fly, I'll come to this later.
The mech body we should totaly refurbish and add to our forces, maybe see if monash would like an extra body to pilot, maybe see if it can get remote controlled . It's a free moving heavy laser platform with jetpack and anarmor imprevious to everything execept mild cold and black holes. Yes please.
As for the Mind Reaper itself... sure using it is a fascinating oportunity but also a potentialy double edged sword.
Beyond the moral and ethical implications of using what is pretty much the digital equivalent of pretender worms (I mean it effectively kills the person and turn their body into a puppet just as well) there is the fact that, as much a it reeks of author tech influence, it's still the folks at R1 who developed the tech. So they have a better idea of how the tech works in the first place. If the people at R1 have any sense for once they'll have built countermeasures of their own or at least a way to detect if we're trying to use it against them.
I'd rather we have our CWS and scientists STUDY the mind reaper. And the though blender since it seems to be a similar but perfected kind of effect (steal the person though, take over the body by an AI). So we can find a protection against that sort of mind fuckery. Or at least detect it. Without having to depend on Feather and Francoise all the time. (they may be very peformant AIs but there's only two of them, they can't be monitoring our entire army communications all the time, let alone do that and helping our research at the same time I would imagine)Because it's the second time the folks at R1 tried to destroy Vora's mind with a virus in an elctronic medium and they have no reason to stop trying. (And if they get smart they'll realise they can do it to someone else first and then use them to get to Vora or Rheynar or any superior officier.)
Emissaries of despair, the red note, pretender worms and brain generals psychic mind controll were all paranoia inducing enough as it is, if any potential radio call could be a potential brainwash..
That said... this present an interesting opportunity for a little deception. They are expecting Vora might be under Paladin control, so why don't we give them a call (heavily filtered by one of our two favorites Ai of course and using paladin's body as a relay) and pretend that's exactly what happened ? To be clear I expect the deception to be discovered fast (if we do manage to secure Paladin's 'cooperation' (understand a quick reprograming) it might last longer) but for a few moments we could get access tot heir communication, feed them false info or just get into their system. Maybe even try using the reaper on the if we want
