Wow, Wuk Lamat is really single-handedly ruining the DT story...

The ironic part is that mecha otis is effectively the perfect endless. He doesn’t need soul energy too ruction and remember everything from his last life and did life for over 200 years and then somehow they did realise how fukked this is for the entire living memory plot so he dies saving a drone that has sphenes data echo on it. As we later see she can just jump drone bodies like a ascian does. Also don’t we forget they said endless are the most happiest memories of these people only for endless Otis to get memory ptsd for whatever reason.

Like the entire endless plot would have worked when they would never be forgotten by the Alexandrian people and they could have visited them in living memory. With the forgetting part what goal do the endless serve even ??? They are just computer programs same as Sphene and there is no empathy situation happening, it’s just use effectively pulling the plug on a soul vacuum that is used for something the living can’t even rember.

I have so little faith that Dawntrail's writers put any thought into what they wrote that I don't think they actually realized Otis' existence fucks the entire premise of Living Memory "needing" to end the way it did. I think they did it just to bait a cheap emotional reaction out of us when he dies, all so they could do it with him again IN Living Memory. Because between Namikka, Krile's parents, and Cahciua, there weren't enough cheap cry moments in there I guess.

But that's why I brought up the Omicron. They reshaped their entire civilization to house actual souls inside robotic shells. Otis was an example of an Endless that worked without the soul sucking issue, but he was one example that while I think it's unlikely, could've been a fluke. But even assuming there's some inherent difference between storing souls vs storing memories(it's all just aether so...lol I doubt it), just give the Omicron some data about the Endless and Alexandria's tech and I'm sure they could work out a solution in a day or so.
