>>52224885I'm very glad anon, thank you! I feel like a sapling's familiarity with organic "equipment" would make a transition to taking care of the Daemons easier, even if it's a less natural form of bioengineering, he might even have more affinity with them than most other mechanics.
Oh, from what I recall that is a sweet scene, I should rewatch it, maybe I can continue channeling those vibes for the relationship between those two. There's definitely a cute replacement paternal figure thing going on.
I don't envision Plaiduaine Hive as being completely annihilated, but rather damaged enough that large sections of it have been rendered inhospitable, while active combat (probably some hellish space vietnam shit from the invader's POV?) is still ongoing in others...
basically setup for a future story, maybe. All that leading to a portion of the population having to escape to save their barks.
>not the angle I would have gone with for a group of homeless saplingsOhh, I'm curious what you'd have thought of first, might give me more insight into saplings.
