#or the uhhhh whatever those fuckinnnnn gnomes were that were under galaderon that would be so fuckin funny i would love that

i mean i definitely dont know more than any other listener lol, but it sounds like murph says theyve got at least a handful of episodes banked, which should tide them over for a short while esp given the every-other-week schedule

so i think it's pretty possible that they did some sort of wrap up with hardwon—lowkey i've been thinking he might like, go off with jaina or something shortly after she's been reintroduced (i'm probably wrong on this tho)—and even if he doesnt get his Full Arc, maybe we'll come back to him later in the campaign?

honestly i think it's entirely possible they make the post-hardwon plot stuffs just be about getting calder back from the helm just in time for jake to come back from leave irl xP

I have no idea what they'll end up doing for Jake's paternity leave. And my weird lil brain has been chewing on it non stop because like the current story arc is very much in progress but they could have pre recorded things so I'm not super concerned.

But. Jake is Calder and Hardwon. So neither of those plots can get wrapped up without him and I want the payoff of him getting back out there with Bev and Moonshine. (If I got a vote which I don't but yanno).

Then it occurred to me that a side trip to get the other side of the story with Moonshine and Bev and some absolutely terrific guest (like idk Aabria for example) in the Astral Plane would be a really clever way to circle back around to Hardwon and Calder.

Like, yes please. Bev as a older seasoned fighter, Moonshine being Moonshine. Local gay disasters save universe, again. Bahumian Space Odyssey: the Search for Hardwon. I feel like it will be enjoyable whichever route they pick, but I'm rooting for a some sort of option where we get to spend time with the other two. They also lost someone important AND also lost their bestie.

(This also opens the door for a Mavrus or Apple Scrumper cameo just while I'm manifesting out here).
