Tennotober Day 1 - Captain

[brighan]

First Tennotober entry!

I said I don't have much time but setting a challenge to myself to improve at time managing. Also because I got jealous and it's been years since I did one of these ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Day 1 | Captain

I think of Xeto often and I hope she's doing great! She featured my favorite scene in Jade's shadows this year.

"Gone away"

Captain Xeto ❤️

Thoughts on her reaction ( tho I am mostly repeating what I previously wrote):

Some have critizised captain Xetos reaction / the writing. Somehow I can understand that. Her reaction is... we call that 0815 here - meaning "generic". It's a generic trope:

She's a Corpus captain who seems like a stonecold b*** first. A killer only acting in the interest of the Corpus - or Parvos Granum. Then she sees a frikkin baby and suddenly her consciousness kicks in? Meh! Big meh!

It's like I've seen the same scene a million times already... in movies, books, games.... it's been sucked dry.

Buuuuuuuuut here's why I appreciate that part anyway:

We've been starved for... lore on the Corpus. There was nothing. And having one of them showing a reaction like THAT really gives us some insight.

Also: captain Xeto is an individual. Her reaction doesn't imply anything about "mother instincts" - it might just be Xeto. Another Corpus Woman might have nuked the stalker- including the child- to bits.

So... even if I do not approve of the trope. I do approve of Captain Xeto's reaction. There's a thin line I am walking here.

I do now wonder what will happen to her? I am certain that the Corpus do not approve of her actions - or the lack of said actions.

I hope that DE does not simple shelve her like they did with Darvo and Veso-R... just to name a few. I am still salty about that. -.-
