AWDoR Chapter 23: Will of the People

Ooh, this one looks like quite the involved naval map. Although, with that said...

I'm not entirely convinced I like that title.

So, the opening of this chapter is going to be spent unpacking the reveals we got at the end of the last, that might have otherwise appeared in a post-battle conversation that didn't happen.

Somewhat odd to not do so. They usually save this cloudy background for post-battle conversations.

Either a clone made from Caulder's genetic material or a donor's. Somebody had to give his clones the genetic material to take on female forms, or even just forms not identical to Caulder.

Morris is going to be spending some time discussing some of the semantics on clones here. Cloning is actually a subject that came up in the Wars World games, but the clones were very much tropey depictions used for reasons that could ignore the science.

AW:DOR Chapter 22: Commander of the Mysterons

Oh boy... if there was ever a map to say 'welcome to the final leg of the story', this is it.

IDS loves it some owl symbolism. And now we're about to get them in full force.

With Greyfield dead, Waylon not interested in fighting us, and no other obvious opponents to fight, Caulder is going to step up and be our antagonist directly. And that means it's time to become more familiar with these three characters, Tabitha, Cyrus, and Penny.

Given how they didn't name her in Chapter 6, I'm surprised Penny just unceremoniously gets a nametag now.

Caulder doesn't even call us by our name. Merely by how we performed. Say what you will about his opinion on the subject of impartiality, you can't deny he's actually doing the legwork to claim a valid position.

The funny thing about this is, Tabitha is not actually the opposing CO in the next map. She does participate in the plot, so Caulder isn't exactly going back on his word, but it is very funny nonetheless.

You know, somehow I get the feeling I'm not going to like this toy nearly as much.
