Alex: About the chess game between Stein Lightman and Myriad, it seemed Myriad used black queen to take out Lightman's bishop, but this all but guaranteed Myriad's loss.
Alex: Why did Myriad choose to do this? In Nemesis' preview, there has been a white bishop in Lightman's hand. Is that white bishop Lightman?
Truthseeker: To answer the second question, Lightman does seem like the bishop, if Devra is considered to be the Queen or King of Resistance.
Truthseeker: The first part is a mystery to me. Perhaps Myriad is trying to make a point about Nemesis having seen real world destruction.
Truthseeker: Death on the chess board is but a game to her?? I'm pure guessing now haha.
Alex: Do you think Undine, Shapers and N'zeer still have an eye on us? Or they’re already shielded from this world.
Truthseeker: I think they are still observing us, but can't really influence our actions. On the other hand, there could be many many more alternate versions of us out there. So they could've also found a new node to experiment on.
Truthseeker: I think they are still observing us, but can't really influence our actions. On the other hand, there could be many many more alternate versions of us out there. So they could've also found a new node to experiment on.
Truthseeker: My wild theory on why the Exogenous feels drastically different for us from that of Nemesis's experience, is maybe the Exogenous is doing A/B testing on the two nodes.
Truthseeker: As we know when doing A/B testing, the test objects need to be similar by nature. Which could explain why they picked us and Nemesis Node. We look identical to our alternative existence.
Alex: Speaking of Nemesis… We have some questions about them, some by us some from agents too.
Truthseeker: We don't know. It's what they are claiming to be true. For me, it is another form of script that records the history of another world.
Alex: Why do Nemesis all use typeface names? They’re not Nemesis’ real name, are they? And will we see Comic Sans nemesis?
Truthseeker: Hahaha, maybe they thought it would be catchy. I just hope if there was a Nemesis PAC, their codename is not Comic Sans. I like Garamond or Quicksand better.
Alex: What does Nemesis mean in the hourglass Nemesis wear or setting it as Nemesis logo?
Truthseeker: Myriad's not bad. Tethered Hand mentioned they like Courier, because it's monospaced. It comes in handy when making puzzles.
Truthseeker: My theories: 1. to remind themselves that time is running out, and the urgencies of stopping the Exogenous.
Truthseeker: 2. It may have to do with how they are RPE-ing into our world and that there is a time limit.
