Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[LuciferMournstar]

snip.

If their guns and ships worked like you say, why did they use Hunters with Beast Souls and regulators to begin with? Why waste the precious souls needed to keep Living Memory going on Hunters, if they didn't need to? Electrope may work for a while outside in Tuliloyol, but it was specifically said it converts LIGHTNING energy and needs quite a bit. Plus, what would be the point of the continued use of Electrope, when it's no longer needed because the source isn't assailed by massive amounts of lightning energy? What purpose would regulators serve without souls? Absolutely none.

I admire your continued nativity, I'll give you that. You really do try to look on the bright side (no pun intended), but life and the world can be cruel.

From what I remember, the MCH fanny pack works by taking in the ambient aether and converting it to lightning, which is how they fabricate machines and turn guns into railguns. If the Alexandrians are willing to work with Skysteel or the Ironworks, they could probably preserve a small amount of their technology and culture after immigrating to the Source. The problem with this is that it's a complete retread of what happened to the Garleans, only the alternative to being assimilated is oblivion because Nero's group is already setting up shop on the moon.
