Book 7, Chapter 7, Episode 105

There's 20 seconds left before Ortho's time limit. He's not going to make it! But mama and papa Shroud haven't given up; they're deploying everything in their arsenal in order to retrieve Ortho at all costs. The scientists are panicking and are advising that their system will burn down if they crank it up further, but papa Shroud shouts that he doesn't give a damn. Do it! Whether it be 10 seconds, even 3 seconds-- it's enough. They just need to distract Malleus so he'd turn his attention to his domain itself rather than Ortho.

Papa Shroud: "Aim at the magic domain! ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!!"

The earthquake was STYX assaulting Malleus' barrier! Now's Ortho's chance!

Ortho: "Magic thruster, full burst!"

Malleus: "... Wha--?!"

Go Ortho, go! Now papa Shroud orders to cease fire and focus on defense instead. Get ready for Malleus' counterattack!

... But...

"... ORTHO has reached its activity limit. System down. Unable to establish signal!"

Mom and dad are in disbelief. But then they get a call from one of their deployed teams. They've retrieved Ortho at sea! They discover that his body was destroyed, but his core is unharmed. He's also managed to bring all the anchors with him.

Mama and papa shroud collapse in relief. Omfg, they're so lovely...

Mama Shroud: "Really... Even if I were to have multiple hearts, they will never be enough..."

Papa Shroud: "What a coincidence, mama... I think the same..."

"... Tch. Clever little humans."

"No matter. How ever many times they turn up, uninvited guests will always be turned away."

"Again and again, no matter how many times..."

feels like some of you don't get that ea didn't decide to do this to bioware after or because veilguard failed. it failed because they had already decided, and had been making decisions accordingly for years.

they were set up to fail. barring divine intervention, there was no way veilguard was going to satisfy ea's demands. ea just needed the dev cycle to finish (and check that there was in fact no divine intervention) before tearing it down.

be mad, but understand the chain of events isn't "veilguard bad -> ea nukes bioware". it's the other way around.

there's something so incredibly sweet about how many times davrin notes in his journal that talking to rook helped him with something. he keeps bringing them out to touch grass and gaze at nugs out in the woods with him which I think must be very good for them, and their company clearly helps him work through and get more clarity on things he's been stuck on emotionally. it's just kind of lovely and a great little nuance in that relationship.
