TW: Some things mentioned here MIGHT be heavy. Idk i'm awful at judging what is a heavy topic. But you are warned in any case.
Whole thing was made with @mimithemetro on discord. Mostly gathering information we already knew from the game and adding our thing to it, as to have a better idea how it would look. For story wise for our characters and stories we make!
First of all. There were AT LEAST 32 sarentu kids. I find my quick calculation, but i will probably redone them once i finally get to TAP-CON-1. That's the first thing
Second was that Alma didn't had as much power in whole thing as we were let to believe. Thanks to the first cutscenes from the beginning and how Mercer literally have a power over her classroom while confronting Aha'ri. Not to mention that he refused to let Alma teach kids about human culture, literally shut down that idea (it was one of the notes if i remember correctly). She was just a teacher and they (Mercer and Harding) make sure of it.
The only good thing she was able pull through with her benefits as co-founder (probably ex after that), was her changing the way Aha'ri died in TAP. Edit: In the report about why child died, i forgot to add this
Mercer was definitely grooming the youngest kids there (look at Teylan).
Harding was using oxygen to force submission from older kids who would try rebel against them. It was her favourite method after all.
Whole residental school (thank you one commenter that i can't now remember for mentioning it) and german-nazi school in łódź was happening to Sarentu kids. I want to believe they somehow hold themselves, so there won't be more dead children. But then again, it was Mercer and Harding.
They also make classes with 15 kids each. I throw the idea of A, B and C class. Each co-founder had one, but i doubt Mercer would actually put any effort into teaching these who he believed was under him, so his class was under Alma name (he still would interact with them, just to control or manipulate them). Harding would make from her class full discipline military.
And no doubt she would try new torture methods in some cases.
I'm sure she wouldn't like her class anyway so these under her would suffer very much.
I never realized how fucked up Harding looked in the Sky Breaker DLC until now!
She's literally blind in one eye and she's covered in burn scars! The last battle really messed her up good and it's incredible to see the little attention to detail!
