Update.

Miracle of a new beginning, eh?
Also, looks like Jane has taken to her Dream body. Could the game-breaking shenangans have already started, or is this perhaps really just her sleeping?

I meant in regard to the possibility of her dying. You know, die + corpsesmooch = dreamself?

It could be that she just died and hasn't started taking on her realself's wounds yet. But since no one's around that could corpsesmooch her, I hope/expect she does have a shortcut around that rule.

I clearly just want to be a good friend and bring all my AMAZING FRIENDLINESS to bear on your problems.
Or perhaps she did just faint from the explosion and being unconscious means your dream self is awake.

How can she participate in Sburb if she's on Skaia? That seems to create problems as far as prototyping and other critical things go. I suspect either that she is not dead, that there are problems on the horizon, or that there are some serious shenanigans forthcoming.

e: Or all of the above?

Maybe dreamselves only take on the injuries of realselves if you are awake and in the Medium? Aradia's dreamself was clearly unbothered by being dead, after all.

She could hang around on Prospit until the Reckoning, ride an early game meteor back to near her house, and then enter the Medium in the traditional manner.

Yeah, but Aradia hadn't awoken on Derse yet when she dies. The fact that Derse only had 5 dream towers and her dreamself corpse was left in the crypt suggests that Sgrub always 'knew' she was going to die.

Jane maybe being dead, Jake's dreamself dying, no prototype towers... For a session that's supposed to be one that sets everything right, poo poo sure seems hosed up in every way imaginable.

One of the working theories was that there may be no prototyping in this session, so as to 'trap' LE in a pre-prototype terminal session and use the tadpole that may or may not still be alive from the precious session to make the new universe without actually using this session's SBurb.

If that makes any sense.

I get the feeling that the regular Battlefield staples are going to be coming from outside sources this time around. Like, Betty Crocker and the Demoness would be the surrogate black and white queen respectively. There's already those Imperial Drones of Crocker's...

Speaking of which, I wonder what the real life Betty Crocker corp feels about their mascot being portrayed as a female, inter-galactic version of Luca Blight?

They're probably not too broken up about the female part.

Speaking of volume 8, I can associate most of the songs (the free ones at least) with their respective events except Ocean Stars Falling. It sounds far too relaxed for the Squiddles on its cover.

I guess it's for the [s] update where 48 Squiddles are introduced and summarily killed off...
Ocean Stars Falling is too awesome to be left off an album.

But something unrelated I've been thinking about-in regards to the popular theory that the ectobiology babies ride the reckoning to universes B1 & B2...

Would that mean anything for the Exiles whom also rode meteors? Would it mean anything for Bec Noir?

I'd say that is something only Hussie knows. It is entirely possible that the duplication only existed for those 8 meteors as part of the deal whereby the players are switched, or it is entirely possible that every meteor is duplicated into the new universe. It's just up to whether he wants to make that a part of the story.

Well we have 4 new players, with 4 new planets, it could very well be an entirely different incipisphere instead of a "reset" one, which could mean new exiles.

e: of course I forgot that its supposed to be an 8 player session, so I would imagine that its a completely new incipisphere.
