"The Mother of Invention" really was such a perfect name for Project Freelancer's command ship. It's obviously a pun on that old saying about necessity being the mother of invention (in other words, desperate times lead to innovation) and it gives us a clear look at what the Director was thinking when he set up the project.

In his mind, the war was this pressure forcing him to push himself and his soldiers further than they could comfortably stand. He took it upon himself to turn that ship into a high stress environment, and he used that same pressure to shatter the Alpha into more and more fragments as he convinced it that the only way to survive was to evolve. Of course he knew that he was hurting Alpha and Carolina and the rest, but it was necessary if they were going to win.

He decided to push and push until something broke, because in his mind it was all necessary. They needed to win the war, they needed to make sure Allison's sacrifice wasn't in vain, they needed to bring her back.

Now, he was obviously wrong. The war ended without his ideal AI powered super soldiers ever hitting the battlefield, and Allison deserved to stay at rest. But what I find so interesting is that the Freelancers could never complete their training because the Director was too absorbed in his little experiments. Everything he did to them was supposedly out of necessity, and yet he put two AI in Carolina's head just to see what it would do to her. He intentionally made South feel underappreciated while heaping praise and rewards on North just to see how it would affect their sibling bond. He handed Sigma over to Maine while knowing the risks of their dynamic just to see what they'd become. While the Freelancers were in the thick of it I'm sure that all the ways they were being treated felt necessary in light of the circumstances, but one at a time they all came to realize how artificial those circumstances were.

The Director needed that noble purpose, love and heroism, humanity pushed to bright new frontiers by the fires of war. He needed to tell himself it was all invention stemming from necessity because he couldn't admit that he just wanted to play god with vulnerable people.

i think about how the meta was going to kill wash but hesitated. i think about how he left the healing unit on wash’s unconscious body. i think about how wash knew that the meta didn’t like needles. and the fact that they made him get a tattoo anyways.

[asphodeldreams]

see you on the other side, church

Insurrectionists are next on the duel height chart:)

You could probably guess who the tallest insurrectionists would be (its sharkface n’ sharktooth.)
