Hi, I am working on the first Revelations demo, it's fun putting everything together for this path. But until then, entertain yourself by asking me stuff!

Do dampeners/meds that suppress telepathy work as a figurative "splint" during recovery from telepathic damage to a telepath or do they make recovery worse and slower?

I finally remembered my questions in time!!! 😄 In routes where the rat king hasnt needed to rescue step, will we still be able to later have them pilot the suit for us? And can there be more rat king interactions in the future PLEASE I LOVE THEM 🥺 Youre probably gonna be vague but i have to try: is the threat that hero hunter (prepare them) steps worried about anything to do with the treaty coming to an end soonish? Also do the other paths know about this threat? Could like, mob boss/activist know about it and help depending on their leadership/politics stat? If we didn't choose to in revelations, will we be able to make chen suspicious that we're not a villain later? Does sidestep know that ortega's father was abusive? And finally, if we can make someone forget to breath/trick subconscious bodily functions, can we give someone the feeling of holding their hand/hugging them? 🥺

Question 1: You said Chen's goal for retirement was to replace his prosthetics with cloned flesh. He's probably too close to retirement for it to be worth it now, but did he ever consider augmenting his remaining arm to make himself more powerful? Like, he's going to get all his flesh limbs back eventually anyway, what's one more? Question 2: If Nocturne or Jake (or a hypothetical younger sibling) were to be harmed would HG immediately demand vengeance, or is there a "just doing business" threshold that needs to be crossed? Question 3: Can Nocturne recognize when she's been threaded? Does she know enough about what it feels like and how it works to think/act around the commands if she wanted or needed to? Question 4: Nonbinary Sidesteps have the option to be trans but can choose whether or not they're on hormones, but that option isn't available for transwoman and transman Sidesteps. Why do they have to be on hormones, why isn't that option available for them too? Question 5: Theoretically Argent doesn't need to be in the symbiotic state she's in to use her nanovores, has she ever thought about what she'd do with them, how she'd be a hero, if she was able to heal herself? Question 6: Is Ortega only okay with her demotion because it's Steel? Would she be more bitter about it if she was replaced by someone brand new? Question 7: What do you think came first for Sidestep, the human name or the vigilante name?

So you said Argent is afraid of horses is that because she's a horse girl(ya know a girl or woman who has an almost unreasonable love of horses, and I'm being very nice with my description there are a lot of them in the States)? If so has she ever had an accident with a horse after the nanos? Or is she almost as paranoid about physical contact as sidestep? I've never met a reasonable horse girl personally, so it would certainly explain a lot of her pent up aggression. The ones I've known tend to lose they shit if they can't go riding on a regular basis.

Is there any way to do a reverse Damocles?Like create a hidden defensive layer in a mind that appears too open (I’m worried for Daniel)? If so would he be open to letting Step meddle around in his head?

1) In the event that Sidestep ends up threaded by Hollow Ground, will they always find out some point, or is it possible that Step can remain under their influence for the rest of the series without realizing? 2) In pasts where Chargestep was 'a thing', Sidestep was nervous of the media catching on and the attention it might bring to them. Is this something that maybe Step should still be worried about? Like for example, if Sidestep and Ortega are bit too open with each other at the upcoming birthday party, might there be future headlines about "Charge's mysterious new paramour" or some such? 3) With the imposters that are about to spring up, can all of them be reasoned with, or become allies? Or will one or more of them always be hostile to Sidestep no matter what? 4) Somewhat self-indulgent question here, but what are the Rangers' general thoughts or immediate reactions to suddenly seeing a Sidestep go from plain nondescript clothing to an edgy punk/goth fashion style? :D

Serious question. Do the laser dolphins emit lasers from their eyes superman style? Or do they open their mouths and fire their lazor. Oooh ooh or out of their blow hole? Or is it some magical girl shenanigans with magical lazer firing circles just appearing in the air? Do they have a secret base somewhere? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Hello! I have a question about The Big One and the following destructionn it caused. How did you come to choose the San Andreas Fault rupturing as the catalyst for the separation of the west coast? As in out of all the major disasters that could have happened, is there any importance to the fault itself or is it just a famous fault line that worked as a good catalyst? The theme of earthquakes and destruction has come up a few times in the game so I'm curious if its just tying in the lore or if there is any foreshadowing there. Thank you :>

What made Ortega, HG, Pelayo, possibly Chen and this mysterious benefactor hire specifically VERA to rescue sidestep? Why Vera and not another person?

mistylavenda

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, and I apologize if it has But will there generally be a noticeable difference in the Rangers' reaction to a villain reveal in Book 3 as opposed to Book 2? Specifically speaking, will a romanced Danny have a worse reaction if Sidestep's guilty reveal occurs after staying at his place post-crash?

Hello! This is my first time interacting with this community at all, I've mostly just lurked and browsed the code but I really like this story. I don't personally relate to many of the themes but they still get me to feel things which is more than any other books I read and for me that's a vast improvement. Also I've seen reference to a discord server but haven't found a working invite. I'd just like to know where to find one so I could potentially be more involved in the community. Anyway question time! Will Sidestep ever try to inspire or lead the regenes to revolt? I like thinking about skittish anti social Step having a moment where they're a full on general and more importantly realizing they aren't all that bad at it. (Or maybe they are who knows) Will we get more explanations on the planes? (such as Void's, Jake's, or I'm assuming the gates) or will that just be supplementary information? In the Ranger's group chat, how serious would you say it is? Like actual contacting for emergency or Ortega trying to make a pun using emojis? You mentioned we would have plenty of heart wrenching arguments in Revelations, especially the one where we blame Ortega for "abandoning" us. Would we have to be revealed as a regene for that? Or could we run with their tinfoil theory and get upset at supposedly being stuck with HG? You've talked about the cuddle onsie with Argent, but how would the other RO's react to a onsie donning Sidestep? And how many pictures would Ortega take? In the moment where Ace supposedly sees Shroud's end, what does Ace know of it exactly? Do they know they're being possesed at this point? If yes, how do they feel that they aren't getting the payback themselves? Are they grateful to Sidestep? If a threaded Steel saw something along the lines of "Hollow Ground Arrested!" in the news or the actual Hollow Ground being captured by the Rangers. How would that conflict with the threads? Would the threads immediately fail or would Steel try to find some way to deny it? If the puppet takes themselves hostage against Steel, would Ortega know they were willing to threaten themselves to get Sidestep? Is Sidestep's fate motivation a delusion or is their ramblings something to actually be wary of? Would a Hungry Sidestep relate to either the Nanovores or the Catastrofiend? Will we get chances to have a good hug and cry like the Ortega sui reveal? I think all the Sidesteps deserve a good sob session considering what they've gone through. You memtioned the original book had the suit's Nanovores replace with an artifact of some kind (Alien if I remember correctly?) Could you tell us a little more about that? Or was it not expanded on before you switched to the Nanovores? Would it be too spoilery to tell us the extremes of each scar? Like an Outsider!Step lacking the ability to feel physically, a Friendless!Step struggling to understand empathy, or a Puppetmaster!Step starting to devalue life in general? And if the Rangers were forced to get Sidestep a christmas present. (Probably from Ortega annoying them) What would they get them?

Edward Conner

I'm curious are there any Boosts or Mods that could be considered Demigods? Because Sentinel and Anathema come pretty close if you charitably interpret what their capable of.

Edward Conner

I just realized that there's an urban dictionary entry on horse girls that is sort of harsh but essentially gets across what I mean about Argent. Could we ever settle Ortega's grudge with Hollow Ground? Or is it just one of those things you ignore at Thanksgiving dinner? And more importantly could we actually drag Hollow Ground & Ortega to thanksgiving dinner or maybe Christmas dinner? The very thought of doing so makes me laugh.

Edward Conner

How far could you push Argent on the horse issue(E.G. taunting, practical jokes, and general ribbing) before she loses it & what would her reaction actually be? People tend to deal with irrational fears in unpredictable ways for my experience.

Kali

In the good for you snippet, Tia Elena already knows step is a Re-Gene. How did that revelation go? Did Ortega told her alone or it both Step and Ortega explained it to her? Did she know what Re-Genes were before Step? What did she think about them?

BigFreckledEars

Did the SD know that Sidestep stopped the nanovores and if they did, was there any experimentation/interest in that after they were recaptured? Would knowing that HG has the threading ability make you more resistant to their threads? Probably major spoilers but I'm going for it anyways. Are we absolutely certain that HG's sibling is dead? Whether it's a smart idea or not, will we get a chance to fight one/all of the Rangers with the puppet? Did HG's sibling have many/any friends? They come off as kind of solitary to me. If HG's sibling had never died, what would Jake and Nocturne have thought of them? Is Step's mind still "toxic" to other telepaths while in the puppet or is it more the telepathy that makes them feel that way? How customizable are Step's handler's going to be in terms of appearance and gender? Also, how is Step's first handler still alive considering Step escaped while in their care? I feel like that would be a punishable mistake (unless I'm misremembering and the person on the phone in Rebirth was the second handler). But then again, the second escape might have been even more of an offense, so how are either of them alive? Basically, the question is what is the Farm's policy on handler screw ups? Going along with one of my questions from last month, if this isn't a spoiler; without saying names, just because someone is possessing Step's body doesn't mean they will be good in hand-to-hand combat I believe, so rank the imposters on their physical fighting skills. Will the Farm employees who were in the ambulance that picked Step up after HB ever make a comeback in the story? Also, will there be other ways for Step to lose their eye or will Argent taking it be the only way?

Hi! I just joined, so I'm sorry if these questions have already been answered. Will we ever be able to date Ace in book 3 or 4? When I first played FH, I thought it was leading towards a poly relationship between the mc/ace/ro as an option to resolve the love triangle, but after getting the puppetstuck ending it seems like that won't be possible. Will we have the chance to put the old sidestep costume back on in book 3, or fight with the rangers out of the armor? For example, if we offered to help with the Catastrofiend?

How likely would Armadillo be to jump up and down on a trampoline? Would they enjoy it? Will we be be able to hug Vera/Dove? If so, how big a hug can it be?

Anonymous

I assume it's somewhat up to headcanon, but how do you think Sidestep could have chosen their civilian name? Would it be more random like looking up names in a phonebook, a nametag on some service worker that was kind to them or more meaningful, like an amalgamation taken from actual people they knew? Edit: I also enjoy the idea of Sidestep watching tv for the first time and yoinking a characters name, not knowing it's a wildly popular soap opera and all the rangers just nod along and pretend it's not suspicious.

I remember something about updating Rebirth, not sure how/when but do you think you'll be adding reloadable checkpoints to it? that was SUCH a good addition in Retribution and made reading a lot less stressful knowing I won't have to do eeeverything all over if I change my mind with a dialogue option!

i'm dying to know, how old was Spoon when Chen adopted him from the shelter and what year was it? I know Chen said Spoon was a former racing dog (and ergo, not a puppy) but I don't think our best boy's elderly yet. i want him to have a long and happy life 🥺

Edward Conner

I'm curious at what point would the American government in universe simply be forced to submit to some hostile force, I mean man power, resources, or public opinion at what point would it just be better to completely surrender to an enemy?

Edward Conner

Does Argent feel indebted to Sidestep for saving her life in the nanosurge incident?

Edward Conner

Is there any way to work with Hollow Ground in retribution and get the aquarium scene in one run? A yes or no is fine it'll give me another reason to replay the game.

Syksy

What might have happened if Herald had succeeded in stopping his brother from taking the boost drug? I understand from one of the previous Q&A HG would like to have a kid (or has thought about it), but how would Nocturne and Jake feel about being parents? What made Iris a fan of Sidestep's villain persona? Does it vary depending on the kind of villain Sidestep is? Or is this headcanon area? What might HG's life had turned out like if the Big One had never happened? What did HG and Nocturne potentially think if Jake lost against the new villain? How often does Nocturne's red-threads need to be reinforced? Do Vera and Sky-Raider know of each other? What would their professional opinions be on each other?

All Blue

You mentioned before that Argent is the highest paid Ranger out of the four… how exactly did she manage that? Where did her negotiating skills come from? Does the Farm have spies in hospitals/therapist circles? Would HG feel the ominous pull of the Heartbreak site if they were there in person? How would Ortega take a Step that chooses to erase their own memories of them out of sheer hatred/hurt for/from their former partner, barely tolerating to even hear their name? Would they try to find ways to restore their memories? Respect Step’s wishes to finally cut them off for their own happiness? I remember the answer for Step’s feelings of betrayal/hate over the Farm’s lies of Ortega thriving without them, and it made me wonder. Can HG thread a deaf person who can’t hear them? What about someone who can’t feel their touch at all? Can certain neurological conditions/diseases (eg Congenital insensitivity) prevent them from threading their target?
