Echo’s world has gone decidedly… wobbly. Blurry. Fuzzy at the edges, and what-will-you-else. He can’t feel his fingertips, is his first thought. Kriffing overdid it on the glowing green shots, is his second.
“Holy kriff, Echo, that manhole-cover underneath you is moving!”, Fives exclaims, third. Or more like slurs into Lt. Jesse’s shoulder, who is himself moaning indistinctly into the Captain’s pauldron, who is in turn swaying back and forth gesturing at Commander Cody.
And it really is - the manhole cover, that is, once Echo stumbles off it with a shriek. Jumping up into the now open air with sudden force, steadying and then scraping across paveme-
“Are those kriffing hands?!”
In an instant, seven highly drunk pairs of fists and one blaster, courtesy of Commander Cody (the only one present who’s sober enough to be legally handling it) are aimed in a circle around the cover slowly being shuffled to the side, then the hands reaching up to palm at the edges of the hole -
- and are slowly being lowered again when two white-red painted helmets are heaved into view, along with chest-deep groaning and grunting. Two armored Corries collapse in a heap at Commander Cody’s feet, who stares down at them in open-mouthed shock.
Slowly, Echo blinks. Slowly, he raises a hand to snap his fingers in front of his face. No, still there. Slowly, Fives grabs for a piece of flank underneath his blacks and twists. Echo yelps, and slaps his hand away hard enough to hurt himself. “OI!”
“B’have, boys”, Captain Rex makes a brave attempt to slur out as he sways on his feet, still staring down at the trembling heap of armor at their feet. Whoa, Echo didn’t know they had those kinds of funky armor designs in the Guard. Very avant-garde.
“That’s blood, Ey’ika”, says Appo.
Oh.
Slowly, Hardcase raises his right foot, inching towards-
“Don’t even think about it”, Commander Cody snaps, and Hardcase’s foot whips back to the ground next to its companion. Fives chortles. “Yeah, genius, those are Commander kamas - they’d put you down in a second flat!”
“Why would two Corrie Commanders go crawling out of holes in front of 79’s, huh, genius?!”, Hardcase retorts, somewhat justly, Echo feels. Next to him, Commander Cody frowns, and kneels carefully. “Good question, trooper. Fox, can you hear me? Fox’i-“
Which is when one of the bodies - Commander Fox, Echo realizes with a shudder, The Marshall Commander Fox - convulses on the ground, and an arm rears up to nail Cody face-first with the back of a hand, sending him sprawling back into the pavement with an undignified squawk.
“Thorn”, the sad figure that is the highest decorated clone in existence groans, still faceplanted into pavement, “Thorn, I’m hallucinating Cody. Thorn, tell him to shut up.”
“Shuddup”, Commander Thorn heaves, loyally. Cody makes an affronted noise, braced back on his shebs. “Sdubid Codeh.”
Commander Fox’s visor scrapes against the ground with his nod, a sound that sends the surrounding vod’e cringing. “Yeah, you go, Thorn. You’re my favorite.” A considering pause. “Oh, kark. I need to call in medevac - Fox to Stabby, Fox to Stabby - the kriffing Narglatches are back on the lower levels.”
The Commander’s comm crackles to life, as he heaves himself over with a punched-out moan - oh, yup, that dark patch’s definitely not paint, and are those teeth marks?! On plastoid??
“I’m going to wring Senator Hliii’s neck, and then I’m going to twist him into a human kriffing meat-lasso to catch every last one of his little pets with”, sounds through Fox’s comm, who just hacks out a laughcough in response. “Pinging your location now. Where’s Thorn?”
“Pr’snt”, slurs Thorn.
“Concussed”, adds Fox, “We crawled out forty levels to behind 79’s, so no one would see us.”
Awkward silence follows.
“Uh, about that”, begins Rex, only to be interrupted by a deep groan from Fox.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kriffing kidding me! As if Cody’s ugly mug wasn’t - WHAT THE KRIFF ARE YOUR KRIFFING ARC KARKHEADS DOING IN MY HALLUCINATION, REX?!”
“Shuddup, Rex”, Thorn moans bravely.

So I got a phone call from my mom this afternoon letting me know that my family’s dog, Takaya, is being put to sleep tomorrow afternoon.
This has been a long time coming for sure; I found out her health was in decline from my dad a month ago when he came to visit, but I’d hoped she might be able to make it into the new year.
I did a facetime with my mom tonight to say goodbye to her face to face before she gets put down, and to put it lightly I feel pretty miserable. She’s been a part of our family for a long time; I think we estimated that she was about 15 years old. She’s been such a good dog and was always so energetic and I’m going to miss her deeply. It feels even worse that I can’t be there in person to say goodbye, as I’m in a city a twelve hour drive away.
So’untë & nenyusten’, Takaya. Misiyh for all the memories and happiness you brought to our life.

GENERATION LOSS THEORY TIMEEEEEEE (⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️SPOILERSSS!!!! Plus talking about gore n’ stuff! Stay safe!!)
VVVVVVV
So when the equivalent of crucifixion of gl!Ranboo happened and left all of us genlossers in a traumatized, heartbroken state, we don’t see what happens afterwards right?
Well.
My theory is that no matter what chat got to choose, Showfall would’ve just reprogrammed gl!Ranboo anyway. Think about it! We’ve seen other “characters” like Sneeg and Charlie get revived after supposedly dying in other scenes. They were just reprogrammed! I’m not sure how Showfall would somehow magically unmangle Ranboo’s face after dying in the black box but they brought back Charlie and Sneeg just fine (Charlie being ripped open and guts being torn out and Sneeg literally being crushed and eaten alive but you know).
So Showfall would reprogram Ranboo right? Then they can just use them again to rerun the show or other “episodes” of their show. This could be a reason why we (genlossers) could get more Generation Loss content from other tapes such as “The Social Experiments” (the first three streams of genloss). Maybe in these possible new versions (or dare I say, “generations”) of gl!Ranboo and friends don’t remember the previous generations of themselves due to reprogramming, but maybe as time goes on the newer generations are losing the controlled elements to them and that’s why they are able to break from the control of Showfall easier.
I might edit this if I think of anything else to add or change :)
And drink water! >:[
