[X] Open the door
He did say he can look like Ayin... though I don't know if he meant he can look like Ayin or look like Ayin with CENSORED part attached to him
On the one hand X merged with [CENSORED] is terrifying. On the other hand he's going to show up in the world one way or another and I want to know exactly where something that dangerous is at all times.
By the way, we reached 150 pages. 95 treadmarks, roughly 138k words. It's hard for me to believe this quest started in November. But still, thanks, everyone.
[X] Open the door
It'll be good to have an ALEPHon our side for when we finally have to confront Adam, the Holy Fetus, and His merry band of maniacs if we can't find One Bro to do The Thing with the 13th Apostle.
(on a more meta level it is deeply funny to me that X chose to be a Sarkaz. He and [CENSORED] are going to completely upstage the Kazdel Sanguinarch completely by accident aren't they)
The Manager has to meet the Doctor. It'll be the meeting of the SIs! Funny thought that came to me while tinkering with the X = the Doctor idea. The reason why the Doctor is always covered up in a specialized suit and no one has seen their face is because of [CENSORED] rather than to protect thier weakened immune system.
That aside, not sure what Linnette's chances are against Nearl at peak form is, but with Czarny in her corner that should mean she won't lose via technical foul like she did against the Black Knight.
Out of the 3 Kazimierz Champions we know of, Nearl should be around the same level as the Black Knight. We'll want to keep her from beating Nearl however, since her winning the tourney is part of the sequence of events that'll lead to the Chamber of Commerce's and Armorless Union's weakening as political entities in Kazimierz.
[X] Open the door.
