Remember, just about any guesses as to where the Triad story is going to go amounts to this:


That said my current favored hypothesis is that Regula is going to go Kefka - he's showing signs of mental breakdown after our duel in the Neurolink Nacelle - or perhaps General Leo if he takes the Scions' words to heart and realizes how stupid Varis' plan is. Rough outline. Neither outcome being true is possible.

Anything else is just wild speculation...
