That and Novalight wanting a PR win after the NID and Uni District started looking at the Mitt and going "where's our Apiary?!"

Novalight: Well, it seems that NuGen has managed to demonstrate enough basic competence to justify their continued existence, which means that existential threat to all life is allowed to stay free. No matter, the truth will out. That insect will eventually do something to make everyone see the monster she truly is, and they will thank us for putting her back into Wonderland.
Novalight, several months later: They invite her into their homes? They let her watch their kids unsupervised? They think her constant flyovers with her multiple bodies 'make them feel safer!?' She's a menace, why don't people see that? And now we get calls every single day asking when NewDawn will be setting up its own community outreach and criminal reform programs!
 
Honestly how much Novalight was trying to sabotage Nugen makes it hilarious how salty she was about them leaving and going independent. Woman didnt want them taking over New Dawn but considered them traitors after failing to gain their loyalty and surpassing them on their own.
 
Personally I preferred the theory that goethe was a subordinate/contractor of Faust so nice to have that confirmed.

Every time I look at the Leviathan's face the first thing that comes to mind is Tobi/Obito.

As for Star I am almost certain that we have already seen both Star AND Sun.
If I remember correctly Heavenly Shine has been missing/"retired" since the Susurration and his power allows him to assume an energy form, which could be called Radiant as the Sun.
Then again his Hero Name alone points towards Sun.
The fact that he only chose to suddenly reappear Post-Faustian when we know Star was given leave to involve herself in Horizon and we also know that Star controls Sun.
Evidently Heavenly Shine has a "niece" (I think?) named Samsara who I am currently convinced must be Star.

I am personally very interested in seeing what will have changed regarding the Lethal Anodyne mission considering the Philosophers are mustering to oppose the Hours.
I expect Ronin, Brass Shield and Anansi to be recalled from Crusade by Faust, especially Anansi who is an extremely valuable asset.
We can also expect Faust to call upon Lethal Anodyne as well.
If Samsara and Heavenly Shine are Star and Sun we can expect them to suddenly be unable to conduct any operations against Monarch and that is if they don't just vanish outright.

Personally I believe that Trilogy was originally going to be a way for the Philosophers to infiltrate JU.
With Crusade destroying our REP and thus isolating us from the rest of Horizon, it would be easy for Trilogy to present themselves as our only option of Ally.
Especially while being headed by such a respected former Hero as Heavenly Shine.

Of course now Crusade is in shambles, the Hours have conviniently chosen to go to war with the Philosophers thus temporarily removing both of them and their schemes as threats and Trismegistus will be aware of JU having a new powerful psychic amongst our members who could expose Trilogy for what and who they truly are.
Thus they might just decide to just cancel the operation.
 
Idle note: between how ruthlessly competitive the McLeod-Englishes seem to have been (at least, Kaitlyn and Harper's parents) and what Jair was doing to his daughters, man, the Kelso-Allards are in the running for the least crappy rich parents in the setting, failing Douglas and/or Arc coming out with something when we take down Shroud.
 
I love that Scarlet Maturity was supposed to be this big terrifying figure of overwhelming force, someone we'd have to constantly be trying to work around, and now we're just kind of hanging out with him on weekends and learning his tragic backstory and getting him a girl(?)friend.
