aubergionWhoops forgot to actually screenshot a single time during this entire quest anyways here we gO
Back to playing Andromeda. Successfully rescued Moshae Sjefa from Voeld, where it turns out the kett are.... turning angara into kett? And possibly would do it to other species as well. Hard to say. I'm not entirely certain what the mechanism is here. There seems to involve some brainwashing, some time in a pod from unknown purposes, and then sticking them with giant needles filled with kett DNA?
Why are there pods?
Seriously, it doesn't seem like they do anything if you still have to needle up the prospective convert anyways. And convert is definitely the right term given how religious the kett are about the idea of turning other species into kett. Is that even a sustainable method of maintaining your species? What happens when you run out of non-kett?
There was a boss fight! With some rando called the Cardinal, apparently a former angaran woman. Went past fun and into annoying. Trying to shoot a tiny ball macguffin that kept floating around with my slow-ass sniper rifle and having to do that six times was just too many times. The stun effect lasted a good half a second, and that's being generous. Had to do the fight twice (and still didn't remember to save OR screenshot, RIP me).
And we finally got to explore Aya. It's so beautiful. I love that they didn't shy away from the place being saturated and bright. I got an awful lot of information on angaran law and some public opinion letters that's all going straight back to the Nexus, considered buying a very expensive fruit, and got scanned by a biologist grandmother. For science!
Not a hugely eventful session, all things considered. But next time: the vault on Aya!
