Honestly loved that creepy locker because of how superfluous it seemed but also how much it developed Preservation in one fell swoop. Demetrius's total faith in Calyx, a literal child, and that kid's wild ideas is almost certainly why Preservation got so out of hand and deadly. Yes, put all your hopes on the terminally ill scientist without a fully developed frontal lobe. Excellent work, Mister Demetrius. Magnificent decision making.

But also, how desperate were Alexandrians to turn to such insane methods and again, a child, to resolve their problems? People must've been dropping like flies in a snow storm to go so far.


It's stuff like that that made 7.3 feel like a massive improvement to me. Environmental storytelling is back!
