Don't worry yourself so, ma cher Un... I've just been wrestling with bouts of depression and general emotional exhaustion. Plus that pic you posted in FZ threw me a bit... though my two boys seemed to know something about it: they just won't tell me a darn thing, but they've been acting really wierd lately, every time I try asking them about it. The Merv has been more evasive than usual, and Flood, who's usually better about informing me about things -- albeit in a condescending way; I've been running the Merv faction critical missions in the MxO, and I'm extremely shocked at how close In-game!Flood's voice and speech patterns in the pop-up communiques resemble my houseguest's (at least they got that much right) -- is being less than compliant.
Then -- and this was really freaky -- I was reading some of the player forum messages while waiting for yet another game patch to download, and a thread on spoilers from the recent storyline-related missions caught my eye; one of the messages, from a Merv faction player quoted In-game!Flood as saying at the end of one of the missions, something to the effect of "I'm going to turn off my cellphone so I won't have to listen to the likes of you for a while." Right then, clear as a bell, my snarkiest headspace dweller said, "And I just might take a hint from these words they keep putting in my mouth, if you won't stop pestering me about that picture."
So I cleared my mind of any questioning thoughts I was directing toward the Exiles who share my existence... and I wondered if that picture could be of the Source?
