I will defend and maintain the order of life as it was proclaimed by the Allfathers of the Coalition in the Octus Canon. I will forsake the life I had before so I may perform my duty as long as I am needed. Steadfast. I shall hold my place in the machine and acknowledge my place in the Coalition.

The lucky ones died on E-Day.

— Motto of the post E-Day Sera

[oathofthecoalition]

These images are from our affiliate in Ephrya, just a few minutes ago… Similar attacks are reported all across the world… Eye witnesses attest these monsters strike from underground, without any warning… COG forces are waging a valiant defense, however… Emergency response services are completely overwhelmed… Some may ask, could this be the end of the world?

— News reports during Emergence Day

[oathofthecoalition]

Emergence Day or E-Day was a full-scale, coordinated and unprecedented planet-wide assault; and a swift and militaristic attack on the surface of Sera initiated by the Locust Horde.

Every single major human city on the surface of Sera was attacked from the subterranean, using both bio-engineered weapons and stolen human technology. All breaches were along the ground line, in what was a campaign of rapid dominance.

It was a textbook military invasion.

There were massive casualties everywhere the Locust arrived; over a quarter of the total human population died on that very first day.

Did you know? 

That just six weeks after signing a peace treaty with the UIR, the Locust Horde attacked all major cities on the surface of planet Sera. This event would later be called Emergence Day, the day the Locust Horde had finally emerged from the underground hollows of Sera, and had launched a surprise, coordinated, full-scale, all out assault upon the human race.

An oldie but a goodie. I posted this back when I first created this blog in 2012, with the upcoming release of E-Day, it seemed appropriate to reblog.

Once again thinking about the impact Carlos had on Marcus and how without that relationship, Marcus would have spent his life alone and without a real family. Thinking about how Carlos gave Marcus a family and home and a reason to live and fight. Finally gave him everything he needed and a place to discover who he was outside of familial expectations.

Thinking about how his death destroyed Marcus and how he haunted the narrative until the bitter end because everything was tied back to Carlos whether Marcus realised that or not. His relationship with Adam, with Dom, with the military. Everything was about Carlos

Gotta say I’m so so excited for GoW E-day to release and to play it, but also I’m definitely not excited for the media illiterate troglodytes who are not going to be able to wrap their minds around the fact that Marcus Fenix hasn’t become Marcus Fenix yet because of how story and character development work. He isn’t going to have 14ish years of combat experience, he hasn’t gone to prison yet. It’s so evident in his character model, he looks much younger, and he’s missing his iconic facial scar, because he hasn’t grown into what he is quite yet and I’m very excited to play through that development. Not excited for the brain dead takes that are around the corner.

This is such a valid take, because when people ask me WHY I love gears so much, and I tell them about the amount of lore these games hold.

It’s so much more than just a shooter.

I need to know what Marcus and Anya's wedding looked like.

Was it semi-formal or straight-up dress blues formal? Probably took place at the estate -- it used to be a vineyard, tons of beautiful sites to have a ceremony and reception.

Was it incredibly tiny and intimate, or were they pressured to go All Out on account of their relative celebrity?

Were Bernie and Sam bridesmaids, or did they just not bother with all that?

Did Baird catch the garter? Or better yet, the bouquet? Sam laughing her ass off.

Did they set honorary places for Dom and Carlos? Their parents?

Or could neither of them abide the entire overblown affair, and just handled it courthouse style, once and for all?

[oathofthecoalition]

I keep thinking about this post.

It’s different. Marcus thinks. Not bad different, but different.

A lifetime ago, he was in these same dress blues for Dom and Maria‘s wedding.

Now Dom‘s wedding was big, maybe not as big as a wedding for himself probably would’ve been back then, but the Santiago‘s were an actual family with lots of friends. His own marriage would’ve been an annoying political event.

It was a big deal for the Santiago family when the two small sixteen year olds got married. Marcus glances at himself in the mirror and then turns to watch Doms father, Eduardo, help his son fasten his bow tie, they both looked a little pale.

Their father—no, shit, Mister Santiago, put a reassuring hand on Doms shoulder.

“It’s going to be okay, son.”

“I know, dad.”

He blinks and it’s gone, he’s back here alone staring into the mirror and realizes he looks so different from the man that first put on the dress blues for that wedding.
