This xpac msq is....?!!! [Ending spoiler]

I mean, he holds the key/artifact that allows for dimensional merging. Without that, the Alexandrians are 100% stuck in their shard, slowly running out of energy and growing more and more desperate. I can see Zoraal Ja using the key and their desperation as leverage to force himself into more power than Sphene be willing to give him under different circumstances.

...With that said, it does feel like a ton of this is just not properly addressed ingame and instead handwaved away, like most plot points in the expansion.

whatever he hold, the moment he modified his body and use her computer device, she already has full control over his body if story make little sense, it's like common knowledge in any scifi story at this point

sphene is not a little girl like she look, she is a war machine that feed on living souls for hundred of years now

He seemed to have forced his way into admin permissions that actually superseded her authority when it came to the army, since she couldn't stop the attack on Solution Nine. I don't think it makes much sense (she could have given him limited permissions, making him believe he was in control), but it's what the narrative says.

he can't force himself to anything, sphene is not little girl like she look, she is a war machine that feed on living souls for hundreds of year, she is a system, and his artifact also being made (by azem, i asume) long before alexandrian build their network so it has no control over network, only plot hole is writer straightly give him absolute power over sphene system and doesn't explain anything, and i don't think he is a good hacker also consider when he met sphene his knowledge is from medieval time

I think they were going with the Idea, Sphene gave him control to do what was needed, that her current form couldnt do without Guilt and thus gave him Authority over military so her guilt couldnt intervene, Hence why after he's gone she "changes" herself to rid herself of the Original Sphenes ideals so she can do Tyrannical things, The concept is fine, but the writing and delivery is poor, It probably would have been better with Zoraal Ja revealed being more of a lackey and not attacking Solution 9, Instead with his death triggering some sort of failsafe in Sphene that commenced her rewriting into what was needed.

dunno, that's the thing i never understand from writer point of view, not sure if he didn't think about it or can't find an explain good enough so he just let it blank, but think about a super computer that miscalculate to the point that let a person suppose to be under her control turn her army to her people that she has been show overprotect them is the biggest plot hole of story
