It’s nice to see another person who’s also interested in kranes kids! So what wondering if I was the only one who kinda wanted to see more of the bionic soldiers and Kranes affect on them, wiping their memories felt kinda… idk out of place? like I wanna know how did they felt about being bionic, did they even want to become hero’s? Or would they trade their bionics for a normal life? What did they think of Krane? Did they ever see him at all, or was he just a name they heard through the others? How did they felt about each other? That and I would’ve killed for an interaction between Sebastian and Taylor because surely they’ve met at some point (also tbh I really hated how Sebastian played out I would’ve love to see him return because I do believe he could be redeemed ,he also has classic cult victim vibes)(Sorry if this seems weird asf I’m autistic as shit and I’ve been wondering about this stuff forever and haven’t had anyone to talk about it with 💀)
Omg yeah kranes relationship w his kids is sooo underdeveloped! On one hand I kinda think mind control is the only way he could control an army of that size, on the other it felt kinda hand-wavey & dismissive. I wish they would've expanded more on it, especially bc it's clear that different soldiers reacted differently to it & had distinct personalities even while under the Triton app. Where did Krane get all those kids, anyway? They're about the same age as ab&c so either he kidnapped them (how on Earth could he get away with kidnapping over 700 kids?) or grew them at an accelerated rate, either option sucks.
My personal theory is that Krane's 1st batch of soldiers (S 1-3, at least) were created as his lieutenants, to rule the army in his absence. Since they were the first, possibly kidnapped instead of grown, they have the most memories of pre- and during-Triton, which also explains why Sebastian is Like That.
If you're interested in Sebastian & Taylor's dynamic, I did write a post-canon fic wherein she visits him in prison! I'm thinking of adding to that universe, I have soooo many bionic army headcanons after all...
