Can I just say that I love how full of incandescent rage the Operator is
Being 13 sucks. Being 13 forever? I can hardly imagine anything worse
They grew up in a society that demanded perfection and obedience and at any time someone they knew could vanish; executed, Glassed, hunted for sport, turned into a Yuvan. Anything was possible and they just had to accept it. They were forced to become a child soldier and lost everything over and over and over and over again. Each time by the same monster's hand. They killed their oppressors and were put to sleep for thousands of years, and guess what?
Nothing's changed. The Orokin are gone, sure, but what they've left behind has grown and festered for millennia unchallenged
They're caught in a cycle of violence with no end in sight, trying to save the system from a seemingly endless number of adversaries as their wounds reopen and deepen with every loss, every memory regained. They're trying so hard to be good, to help others, but when all you've got is a hammer everything starts to look like nails.
The Operator is so full of vengeful wrath and honestly? I can't blame them.
