Dont worry, we should be fine. After all, Birbxodia is the Red pinnacle, and Red is, well, not really known for any conceptual attacks. Even from a thematic perspective, the Sun and the Moon in our name are references to Carmen and Ayin respectively. Furthermore, our keywords are AUTHORITY/GUIDANCE/CALAMITY/COMPREHENSION/REVOLUTION, and our theme is the Facility, and the works of Man. None of these sound particularly vulnerable to A Bird, especially since their keywords are probably something along the lines of PARANOIA/APOCALYPSE/DARKNESS/PROTECTION/MADNESS or something like that

In terms of conceptual advantage...
Well. We would be the winning one in the match-up since Apoc birb is supposed to be the Head and all.
But as I said. Don't worry about it. Apoc Birb only comes out when shit hits the fan. So unless X fuck up big time...well...
We'll deal with that doomsday level threat when we get to it.

Oof. Speaking of doomsday, imagine what would happen if one of the more widespread ALEPHs escaped. Could you imagine the sort of devastation that the Silent Orchestra or Melting Love could do if they weren't stuck in a Barrier?
Sidenote, do you guys think that we'll be able to get Twilight? I mean, the most likely scenario would probably be that we need to fully synthesize all three birb weapons, then unlock the observation levels for A Bird's sapling, but it would definitely be worth it. Plus, Twilight might even resonate with The God Delusion, given that both of them are based on trying and failing to reach an impossible goal

You do know Twilight synchronizes best with the White Ordeal, and not Violet right?
I mean. Mr. Claw is standing right there.

Remember, White Midnight isnt part of the Facility. Mr. Claw is an actual Claw from the Head, as shown by the fact that he and the Fixers didnt show up in the Nothing There fight, when he was basically the perfect tank to take the role of distracting Nothing There instead of us
Huh, what are you talking about? All the ordeals are part of the facility, every. single one, there is absolutely nothing to indicate that the white midnight is a true claw, in fact, it literally cannot be, since a claw entering the facility would lead to them learning about Angela and having the true strength of the head bearing on it before it can finish the seed of light, something Ayin took great care to make sure it couldn't happen.
There are way more possible reasons to not have the white ordeals in the NT fight than having the claw be a true one that somehow didn't lead to us getting Arbiters coming on mass to exterminate us in LobCorp. They could require more power to manifest than other ordeals, X could simply not want to, as ordeals that only appears during the keter meltdown originally, they may require special circumstances to manifest, the fixer's role could have been subsumed by our agents... pretty sure I could get more possibilities.
Moreover, explain why both the fixers and the white midnight can come back to fight every day if they are not part of the facility like everything else? And why they wouldn't continue to come if you reset to day 1 after finding how to enter if they came from outside?

Derp. Didnt think of that. In which case, I wonder when we would be able to manifest the White Ordeals though? That would be really good since each Fixer is roughly the equivalent of a high-tier WAW, and each has their own gimmick too, and the Claw would essentially be an ALEPH that we could deploy without causing massive collateral damage
We already have our agents on the way to help us once we manage to manifest them outside our world, and we can already deploy an Aleph without massive collateral damages: Us.
And our fight with NT doesn't make me completely sure that deploying the Claw would not actually lead to big collaterals, NT is a purely physical Aleph, and look at what happened when they stopped holding back, no reasons to think the Claw would ends up different, in particular, can you imagine what would result of them deploying the rabbit serum in a city? You could certainly follow them through the holes they would leave in all the buildings they would leave on their way, and they would potentially splash all the bystanders that would just so happen to be too close.

I'm of the opinion that the Claw would probably be able to curb that if they so wished. I think that if the Claw and the Fixers are ideas of what the real deal are, they should be similarly equipped. These are the Head's agents. You really think they would let them use a Serum that would make them so predictable?We already have our agents on the way to help us once we manage to manifest them outside our world, and we can already deploy an Aleph without massive collateral damages: Us.

Wonder if we can artificially recreate Serum W via Blue Star's space manipulation?
Baral has it when you fight him in LoR, so, yes.
He in fact has all the same serums as the white midnight, just better, the white midnight is not a true claw, but it is made partially from the knowledge of them that Ayin, Binah, and Geruda have from the attack on the first laboratory, so it does have the same abilities, just probably weaker.

Awwww maaan. I wanted to Serum W the rat...
EDIT: Oh yeah there's also this from Sound of a Star's section in our bio:
"although more precise usage can bend space in creative and unique ways."
So I thought that with enough creativity.... you know...

Huh. Well, at least the Fixers could still be useful outside of Barriers, especially since the Black and Pale Fixers dont seem to have much in the way of collateral damage

Sidestory 12 - The Long Road Is Less Lonely With A Friend Or Two
"It's a beautiful scene you've made, really."
Argalia's voice hummed in the crisp night air, melodious even in his candid camaraderie. The girl had thought when she first met him that the man was putting on a show, like the Wizard had been, but it was becoming clear that it was just how he sounded. Even when being honest or straightforward, there was always something musical about the way he spoke.
The girl was skeptical about his most recent statement, though. Her newest creation was a bit creepy, and not much else. An endless road surrounded by dense trees on either side with only the full moon hanging in the sky. Argalia sat at a small bench beneath an isolated streetlight beside a path leading into the woods. There wasn't anything past the path, just a little clearing with more lights and benches. And a vending machine, because the girl had felt like something should be there and had picked the first thing to come to mind.
"Just because a scene isn't abound with sights doesn't make it dull. Subtlety is essential in many great arts." Argalia responded, voice still thrumming with energy.
The series of clicks and twitches released by the girl's new form in lieu of words sounded like nonsense to her. It was really weird that Argalia could talk but she couldn't, despite neither of them having mouths.
"That's just because you're thinking of it too rigidly. Humans are full of contradictions and nonsense beliefs, and yet that chaos joins together to form a person. Why would conventional knowledge matter at all anymore?"
For that, the girl had no answer.
Besides, it wasn't like she could really take credit for what was in here. It just showed up because Argalia had wanted to go somewhere, and she had wanted that place to be somewhere like this. It didn't take any talent or skill just to want something. Everyone did it, and then all their actions were dictated by the things that they wanted. It wasn't anything special, just how things were.
"You remind me of a friend of mine. He had closed himself off from everything that could hurt him, you see. But in the end, it was when he finally chose to dedicate himself to his own wish that he could shine brightest." Argalia said. With a theatrical flair, the man shifted the girl into his off-hand and flicked his scythe up into his grip with a swift kick. "But I'd argue that what it is you're looking for can be something truly special. Not everyone dreams of such artistic scenery."
It wasn't the girl's place to argue. She's screwed up enough to learn that she couldn't be trusted with important decisions or responsibilities. It was a bit hard to tell, but it almost looked like Argalia was frowning for a second. A real challenge, for somebody without a face.
"If that's what you want, I won't begrudge you that. But you really should take pride in these places you've discovered for yourself."
Whatever he said.
"We'll be finding the new director soon, you know. I'm sure she'll agree."
The new director…
The girl wondered what sort of person they would be. Argalia seemed almost reverent of them, only matched by the way he spoke to the voice or the time he'd mentioned his sister. Would she be like them? Would she be more like the Wizard? Or something different altogether?
Only time would tell.

If the side stories are really this important, you should just make them main threadmarks.
Also this guy making friends with Witches? That's weird.
