I played a round with Determined Exterminators who Ascended Virtually, prepared for Cosmogenisis and then because I chose random Crisis the Unbifden just plopped up right next to my core systems containing my combined Armada lf about 2.5 millions of Fleet power and Injust yeeted them back where they came from and then started immediately resewrching Crisis lvl 5. Would've been an interrsting RP playthrough if she showed up, considering I was attempting to become the crisis myself.

@@TheRedKing The most basic belief of Buddhism as I know it, (a religious scholar or actual buddhist is free to correct me.) is that life is suffering and when you die you are born into a new one, and to break the cycle and achieve what they call Nirvana, you need to follow a certain set of practices. Buddhism deviates when it comes to the practices themselves, but this is as core as Jesus is to Christianity. Cetana seems to share this belief, but there's no practices or doctrines to escape, but a plan to end free will and turn us all into Pre-Sapients.

It's for a similar reason I like playing driven assimilators. I know the others would all fight, they'd all be terrified, but their instincts prevent them from experiencing an end to suffering. I'm saving them from themselves, which they discover when they're joined with us. Honestly it's just wish fulfillment. Imagine having harmonious unity with a collective, shared willpower, enhanced intellect, distributed memories, no loneliness, unlimited integration with cybernetic systems, and control over every neural pathway which might malfunction. But instead I'm hopelessly isolated, unproductive, and beyond repair in a pointless life which is falling apart. Compared to that, assimilation sounds pretty great.

@@ineednochannelyoutube2651as a buddhist I have one correction. Suffering is universal for all life not only sentient. Animals and plants suffer and strife too. That's why devolution is not an escape. Only sentience gives us power to achieve the right state of mind and create good karma, that's why being a human is important and unique chance for 'soul' to achieve nirvana.

@@NartanekI mean it’s possible it’s both? Linear time might not be a thing in the shroud. In cosmogenesis ending, it is noted that some Zroni were given their own corner of the Shroud to shape into their own universes. It is also noted that the Shroud Patron is glad to help the new arrivals on the Horizon Needle, because they and the Patron are one and the same. If you take that to be literal, a cosmogenesis psionic empire ends up becoming their own shroud patron, which is quite paradoxical and yet still pretty plausible given how weird the shroud is.

@@PeteandRepeat1 or possibly they end up becoming one with their patron, the shroud is heavily inspired by the wh40k warp and in this universe the gods absorb the essence of their disciples into their own, strengthening them over time. Sure paradox might do something different but it makes sense to me at least. I really like the idea that Cetana is a vultaum though, trying to save sentient minds from the simulation in her own way.

Anyone wondered why her default when you free of her programming is Molluscoid? I thought one of the stagnant ascendancies, the four armed Enigmatic Observers we see in the trailer and her visions were reptillian, did they have help or was it another fallen empire that designed her? Maybe the Keepers of Knowledge?

@@TheRedKing The C'Tan are essentially the material realm's equivalent of the Chaos Gods, beings so comedically massive and powerful they can just warp reality to their will. Originally spread out as beings of magnetic flux eating stars (very slowly) for fuel, they couldn't focus on anything enough to act. Then the Necrons made a body for one and compressed it down into that body. This was a poor decision, as it would come to be known as The Nightbringer. Their bodies are made of living metal, effectively high grade nanites, containing their insane energy density. The C'Tan did the whole 'war in heaven' thing against the Old Ones, and in the modern day of 40k are broken into shards, kept by the Necrons. Their relationship to the Necrontyr and resulting Necrons is... not pleasant. How much the C'Tan and Cetana parallel is better known to you than I, especially if you look into the C'Tan as you know Cetana well where I do not.

Her titan is LEVELS above anything else Thor, she has an insane amount of armour/hull regen thanks to her nanite swarm. I suspect she could take most other crisis by herself if at an equal level. Infact i've heard beating her on 25x is currently unfeasable due to the insane levels of regeneration she has. Her ship just doesnt die. However if you use the psionic path, you can chain her down and "save" her, then it's doable
