#iskall is gonna be less athlete and more event organizer but like. beyond the three mentioned above that's the biggest change

[shortfeather]

ok so i originally didn't want skizz and joel to be on the Sunbeam (ship that gets destroyed attempting to rescue you) because 1) I wanted them to be able to interact with everyone when they're introduced, not just the H-1 survivors (because that's where they would most likely land) and 2) season 10 wasn't out yet so I didn't really have much to build on beyond how they act with hermits in the life series

but now I DO have that and like. what if they were there earlier!! what if I got to have Joel meet Etho when Etho is mid-descent-into-Kharaa and Skizz could get into shenanigans with Zedaph on the planet!!!! Or what if I made up a reason for them to land in the dead zone and the H-3 crew had to rescue them, so we could get Skizz-Tango-Cleo-Joel-Doc-Stress-Mumbo all interacting together in the horrors of a half-functioning transient-class ship surrounded by ghost leviathans...

I'm torn, because them joining the H-3 crew upon being shot down does really entice me, but I'm also in love with the idea that this dinky little ship called the Shrek rescues the 25 survivors from their failing spaceship post-escape and has to deal with all the trauma and recovery. Skizz and Joel being thrown into the oceanic horrors, or the psychological ones?

Celebrating two of my favorite Guys joining hc by immediately reworking hermnautica to have them even though it’s a season 9 au
