The Story of Mental Omega Pt.7 | Shifting Allegiance |

Allegiance is a state of mind, ever-changing through the flow of time. For many, this episode is the inflection point of their shifting allegiances.
I had originally planned to commission ATheatricalSongbird to reprise her role as Yunru, but that fell through for various reasons. So instead I asked my good friend Amy / amyyyy.sun to play the role. I think she did pretty good :p
For those unaware, Mental Omega is a free unofficial expansion pack for Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge, just recently reaching the 10th anniversary of its version 3.0 release.
You can download and play this campaign now from their official website: mentalomega.com/

Allied Commander :"Although I don't want to trust EA and PF, but we need unite if we want to release the free world of the Soviet." Soviet General :"Almost all High Command don't trust me so I blame them for their mistake and I continue operation in SSA." Yuri's Proselyte :"Nothing to worry, I will follow the order for the Great Yuri, again." Also YUNRU :"All Chinese High Command don't know how the true threat is it, I need more time to against the real menace can threat the world." RASHIDI and MALVER :"I doubt about Yuri and his PsiCorps are doing the dark and the true they will choose is it."

I love how many internal divisions and factions there are in group. It really shows the good lore and complexity and this presentation style helps it.

[@Marinealver]

Plus it makes the skirmish between the subfactions plausibly fit the cannon.

[@SoldierOfFate]

The constant internal struggles and divides was exactly how Epsilon came to become so powerful, and ultimately victorious - Yuri had exploited this constant infighting to allow himself to grow unopposed. Only when the free world was united (no matter their allegiances and politics) would they have stood a chance against Yuri and his infernal legions.

The human ego however. Primal, natural, predictable, most likely what Yuri relies on to control, like how the Chinese power chooses to mull over the Russian rather than vanquishing Yuri.

[@darkbrightnorth]

@@konradoziom2225that’s probably part of it, at least why Europe maybe betrayed the U.S. to an extent but for PF and all other factions internal tensions seem to run deep.

Man, that whole underground facility rescue-turned-raid with Yunru is pictured so epicly that i imagined a whole FPS game. Imagine a first person view as one of the elite chinese squad equipped with Desolator radiation gun and advanced weaponry, fighting through the facility against Alien yet human forces, and even that brain tank vehicle, watching as bits of the squad gets mind controlled against you as you choose to either disarm the tank by gunning your fellow squadmate or making a mad dash under your own allied fire to destroy the tank, then the climax is you staring down hordes of Hulks while Yunru extracts info. Thanks Psyminnete for this great retelling of the game's lore and props the devs and writers for making such a gripping story.

Honestly if someone ever wants to bring back C&C they should hire the MO team and make it a cannon timeline.

[@westomegawolf6073]

Judging by the end of the vid, So this is where Yuri has officially has formed his army, the Epsilon Army. And now I get it of how the origins of Libra came to be, she was the psychic from that truck that Yunru was escorting before it got ambushed and Psi-Corps got their hands of it. And as for the rest, well now I know why Scorpion Cell had betrayed the Epsilon cause they treat them as tools not allies. So I'm guessing the next part of this lore is the Act 2 of MO, the Epsilon Era. Thing's are sure getting good! I can't wait for next time! ✨👍

[@Cule_R_uliT]

IIRC, Speeder said that Libra have no straight connections with that psychic, so... Most presumabely - her genome was just one of the starting points for the creation of "The Weapon".

Yunru tried to warn everyone about Yuri but no one doesn't listen to her just like in real life

[@Simbirsk2130]

a quote from O. Platonov's book "Russia's Crown of Thorns." "...Russian priests did not allow Masons to take communion and even, sometimes, kicked them out of the temple. Holy Righteous Seraphim of Sarov always treated the Masons as enemies of the Orthodox faith. It is said that in 1825, shortly before the Decembrist uprising, a Freemason, apparently Pestel, approached him for a blessing, so St. Seraphim shouted at him furiously, as the greatest criminal and apostate from Christ: "Go where you came from" - and drove him away. According to eyewitness accounts, it was scary to even look at the elder at that time. The State Archive of the Russian Federation has preserved a report note by N.A. Motovilov to the Emperor Alexander II, which exhaustively describes the attitude of the great Russian Saint Seraphim of Sarov to Freemasonry: "

[@Simbirsk2130]

"... Father Seraphim, a priestly father, secretly, but for me quite clearly commanded on behalf of the Lord to report to YOUR IMPERATORIAL HIGHNESS that with regard to the Eighth Ecumenical Council it is extremely urgent at the present time both, firstly, for the unification of the Holy Churches of God under the One Head of Christ the Life-Giver and under the One Protection of the Most Holy Mother of God, and, secondly, and the total anathematization of all the abomination of apostasy from the Holy Universal Faith of Christ or the abolitionist leveling of everything in the world, that is, in Russian - Decembristism, and in universal - Freemasonry, Freemasonry, Illuminatism and all their Jacobinism, Church thrones and holy monasteries of ruinous and tsar-killing, bargonic governmentality, all-sublimely godless, anti-Christian, concentrated mainly in lodges - Simbirsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg - in Russia; the New York lodges for North America; the Calcutta lodge for the East Indies; the London lodge, the Frankfurt-on-Main lodge; besides the smaller lodges - Swedish, Prussian, German, Austrian, Italian, and others - globally headed in the Union Club in Paris, as in the universal centralization of everything God-perpetuating anti-monarchical and pan-revolutionary in the world. .."

[@Marinealver]

and it makes sense (unlike Disney Star Wars) Here you had a group of people who rose to power through ambition, betrayal, and intrigue. They are opportunists at best and paranoid at worse. Success is not something to be rewarded, but instead a warning of an emerging threat to ones position, and every crisis is addressed as how one could extract the most benefit from it while deflecting any repercussions. These aren't great people that become stupid cowards just so that the main hero can show em up like a Mary Sue. These are people who's devoted their whole lives to feeding their ambitions being blind to critical details, and unable to see the big picture that doesn't have them in it.

[@almostnewway]

Yunru: General Xiu Rong Wu, we need to do something to stop Yuri's threat, even work together with our rivals and Allies. Don't waste time on wanting to be a king of Soviet. Gen Xiu Rong Wu: I don't need that, I take this as an opportunity to overthrow the Russia, once I have done, all Russian and Latin soon will bow down to me. And I will be a king of Soviet Union (with Maniac laugh) Yunru: you know what. One day you will regret it. If you are busy on vengeance on Russia and Latin, Yuri will sure attack behind your back and you will lose. Gen Xiu: shut up. Get back to your work, I need you to prepare more tech that I will prepare for another attack on Russia. Yunru: damn it. Fine, Im leaving now.

As a South East Asian, why is the Philippines part of The Pacific Front and not America? As an Weeb Gamer, love the use of Anime Yunru, hope CnC got an Anime. And as an CnC Fan "HAIL TO THE GREAT YURI".

[@nooneatall1830]

Because all of SEA that isn't part of China is part of the Pacific Front. Besides, the PH is part of the Allies which is led by US. You can prolly think of it like the PF is just the renewal of the alliance between the two. Either ways, PH and the rest of PF excluding SK, Australia and Japan contribute nothing to the PF's tech anyways, so it matters not.

[@Marinealver]

The Korean situation does seem odd considering that Japan wasn't in the 2nd World War. Still I prefer the Pacific Front over the Empire of the Rising Sun. Also I may be a bit biased but MALVER is the best hero in Mental Omega.

The amount of effort you expended to use voices resembling the actual voice actors,perhaps through the use of AI? , and let's not forget the addition of custom art for additional context and adding more emotion to the story. Every time you upload a new video on the story I start watching the latest episode,only to then rewatch the whole series from the beginning just so I can feel the build up of the events each time.

I'm a simple man. I see a new Psyminette video, I must watch.

[@Beriorn]

And so, everything we have seen up until this point, was just act 1. Out of 3. Sure act 3 hasn't been released yet, but it's here soon. Or rather, SOON.

My favourite anime

The nostalgia that comes from watching this video is simply fantastic. If you played the campaign, you begin to understand everything you did in the game from a much deeper perspective, congratulations on the work

Man imagine he posts the finale of Act 2, then he and Speeder posts that Act 3 is out. That timing will be amazing

[@AliensComeback]

If Speeder read your comment, he'll definitely do it.

Before going into this one I am going to say this probably going to be my favorite one

[@sergiomendoza251]

I love Yunru's development

[@maciejkamil]

I return to the final scene of this video, because it's soooooo gooood at conveying the feeling of power.

[@resonance314]

This is a terrific series Psyminette, i hope there is a work to do even after you're done with mental omega.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the overall situation, but I thought that by the end of the 3rd Great War, the Scorpion Cell would have had a stranglehold over most of Africa. I was kinda expecting the African continent to look pretty... green, with the exception of the Confederation, Allied or Russian-held areas. Though speaking of Scorpion Cell, I've got a bit of an internal headcanon that one thing the Cell did was raid a Russian submarine base and steal their schematics so Rashidi could start working on Epsilon's Navy proper - because they can't keep relying on the Squids forever especially if they want to maintain dominance at sea. But, continuing that headcanon, the Cell's forces were discovered and had to hold out in a prolonged naval battle (which would primarily involve naval warfare, Zubr/Borillo-delivered landing parties, airdropped infantry battalions and Foxtrot airstrikes, later backed up by Kirovs) until Rashidi could send help, In the meantime, in addition to the Giant Squids to combat the enemy ships at sea, the Epsilon base had access to Tank Bunkers into which they could garrison Mantis and Gatling Tanks as well as Oxidizers. The Tank Bunker was the only tech defense available at the time, so the Cell had to make do with making as much use of it as they could. Later, the hastily-aseembled Piranha Minisubs from Rashidi would arrive and reinforce the massed Squids fighting the Soviet navy. With the Scorpion Cell being the main faction there, I can easily imagine the operation being named 'Operation: Sea Scorpion' Though I should stress the conflict described above is only my personal headcanon, and as such is not in the game. I still find it fun to think about though, given how Rashidi was responsible for much of the weapons development of Epsilon - I mean it'd sort of make sense that he'd take a similar path to building Epsilon's Navy as Yuri took when he brought the Stalin's Fist to the Cell for reverse-engineering.

In summary. The Soviet Union won the Third Great War but with tremendous cost. - The Russian and Latin relationship strengthened and got many things like Allied tech, control areas, forced labour from former Allied nation citizens and nearly global dominance. - But with the hostility between the Chinese. The Soviet navy which mostly sunk in the battle with the British never recovered and couldn't fight the Allied remnant's navy head-on. (Main Russian rebuilt their navy but it was impossible to invade London. The Chinese navy was still powerful but forced to fight against the Korean elite navy) The Allied nations lost the Third Great War and never recovered from all the damage. - The US military which was the strongest of the Allied nations was decimated and fractured to pieces. Many of the US's superior technologies were either lost forever or stolen by other factions. Many militants fought against the Soviet general for a chance to reclaim the USA from the Soviets. - EA has less concern because for the time being the Soviets lost too much and needed time to prepare for the next invasion with the British Isles is the best to protect themselves and Paradox Project in full-research. - PF...They nearly disbanded because their army became separate and served each faction's interests. **** On Yuri's side. - Yuri accelerated his plan and created his army. - SC secretly strengthened itself under the Russian nose which the Soviet to gain full-control of the Africa continent. SC needs time to fully defeat and kick the Soviets out of the continent.
