Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Bright-Flower]

Yeah, Alexandria still exist in Heritage Found and Solution 9, but they are doomed for good now. We are going to wipe them out too. Their regulators no longer will have souls supplied to them, so everything in the "bubble" is doomed. Hunters in the bubble can no longer use souls, they will die trying to stop the monsters in that Lighting destroyed world. Which means eventually all of Heritage Found, Solution 9, and Living Memory will be overrun and uninhabitable. Also, we're going to put a stop to the use of Beast Souls. We're wiping out their entire culture, way of life, and any hope of continuing. They have one recourse : Abandon their culture, their home, and move to the source. Eletrope won't have use in the source without the abundance of Lightning Eather, so that'll be forgotten too.

There is no "happy ending" to this story. Alexandria is dying, and in about 100 years or so, will fade into obscurity and distant memory. If it takes even that long.

I think you're really overplaying the plight of the alexandrians. The msq patches may follow up on them, but they were left on a 'they can continue their way of life' note at the end of the MSQ. No indication that they'll have to abandon Solution 9 or Heritage Found. Also their guns and ships worked just fine when they left the barrier and attackd Tuliloyol so it seems like an assumption that electrope will have no use outside of Heritage Found.

Regulators are still being used. And while it's entirely possible that further story may have Alexandria abandon them altogether, there's no indication that we're forcing them to do so. And our only apsirations to free some souls are being plotted alongside citizens of Solution 9. There is no indication they're going to be forced to give up regulators.

Or that even if they did give up regulators, that would mean the complete destruction of their culture as if that's the only thing their culture has to offer.

You're projecting doom and gloom where it, as of right now, does not exist in the story.

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.
