![]() Here’s the part of the raid that still tickles me immensely. I suspect that a big chunk of what we’ll see with Eden is tied into that… and I also suspect that Eden has more to do with dimension-hopping than has been heretofore revealed. We have a lot of places we can go at this point, and that’s excellent, but it also means that we’re stuck in a place wherein any given direction feels plausible. Of course, that also ties into the big unanswered question of the end of the MSQ. I have to admit, though, part of me was really thinking that Nero was going to show up right at the end there.
