Knowledge is pain plus observation.


Maybe a mix of both.

Gebura is a boss on the field, and you have to intentionally breach abnos so she can hurt herself fighting them.

It... just about might be suppressible? It'd be a close call, but I think TQ might have enough tools to make it work.
In theory, yes, our agents have high movespeed and that makes dodging feasible, but only good weapons we have are Blue Star's (because it is ALEPH and ranged) and Judgement Bird's (Pale damage offsets WAW-level). You certainly could take it on, but it would take too much time and too much effort (just imagining dodging it for full 5 minutes is enough to make tired)

I had something diffrent in mind, but perhaps that's discussion better continued in the game's thread rather than the LP's. One thing to note- Judgment Bird's weapon and suit are both ALEPH level.

Gebura suppression is going to be massive abno outbreaks, 100%
She’s a goddamn psychopath who wants to do nothing but inflict suffering on the Abnormalities, to hell with such things like “ethics” or “‘not having all the employees die horrible deaths because you’re deliberately pissing off the Outer God we somehow are keeping contained because you want to make it hurt”

I dunno if she really is a psychopath, it seems more like she's driven by a (very human) motive. And she clearly cares about what Hod thinks which doesn't fit the bill of a psychopath.

Fair. I felt is was more of Chesed and Gebura's personal dynamic and it was more just Gebura saying "get the hell before I show you the door with my foot" kind of thing than a true threat. Following it up with Hod immediately to show she doesn't treat everyone like that felt like a reinforcement of that duo's personal dynamic or just showing she cares about Hod to some degree.


Also a bit pedantic but the E.G.O's aren't all guns, so she could be threatening to impale/smash/cut Chesed instead! :black101:

Judgement Bird's gear is actually ALEPH level for whatever it's worth.

On Gebura, a thing to keep in mind is that Hod's effectively a kid. Like, young-rear end teenager age. Gebura isn't going to bully a kid, and she does cave when Hod is the one to ask for it. She's prickly as hell and phrases it in terms of Hod's ultimate authority, but she doesn't even argue when Hod brings it up.

"Pointed at your head" definitely has a gun connotation. There's also this charming conversation starter:

Ever heard of the saying, “silence gives consent”? Consent enough for even hot lead to be embedded in your skull? You’d better watch yourself.
It's possible she's massively over-compensating for personal vulnerability by being all aggro all the time, but then again one of her researches that TQ mentioned was literally bullets to execute clerks and employees for managerial convenience, so... clearly at least some bite behind that bark.

Good point! Still inclined to believe there is an issue that causes the the over-compensation of course.

If at some point the game manages to buck its own themes and trends, that will impress me. As is Gebura is an AI in Lob. Corp, she's guaranteed to have personal issues. And also try to kill us.

Yeah, not saying that people have to like her as a person, but I am interested in what her tragic backstory is.
