One has your back, one has your heart, one has it out for you. Choose wisely.

Welcome to The Epigone!

Been a long time (very very long time followers may recall the old drafts for Greco-Ramen like 10 years back and even that isn't the oldest version!) but I finally have this comic concept molded into something I want to make and share~

Focusing on small episodic content, because my brain can never focus on long form content long enough to finish in a reasonable time frame~

Anyway, I love these goobers and happy to finally have stories to share with them! Hope you enjoy~

Drifter the Fact-checking Champion of the Lotus (and Natah and - particularly relevant here - Margulis too)

Roathe: "They were in love, whether you wish to believe it or not. Ballas eshewed all class rules and tradition to take as his lover - and his sole romantic companion - an Archimedean. Only true love could have sent a man so spectacularly mad as it sent him, when it all went so very wrong..."

Drifter: *pulls out a Twilight Apothic*

Roathe: Oh, come on, you weren't there!

Drifter: Let's hear what Margulis' colleague Silvana, who worked with her to help the Tenno, had to say about what Ballas' Warframe program did with their work:

Silvana: "My childhood dream has become a nightmare. I don't blame Margulis, she's as much a victim as the children we're working with. At first, the project seemed therapeutic and nurturing. I was myself. But now... Transference therapy is being turned into a weapon. Now I build these vile weapons called "Warframes" all for one purpose: death. I've become everything I hate."

Drifter: Oh, hey, I've got another colleague of Margulis' who can shed some light (ha, ha, pun intended, man, that's morbid) on the life of an Archimedean under Orokin rule.

Archimedean Yonta: "There will never be another Archimedean symposium. No more waiting, petrified to find out if it's you the Golden Lords are singling out this time."

Drifter: What does 'singling out' mean, Roathe

Roathe: Why ask? You already made the pun.

Archimedean Perintol (Detron Crewman Synthesis Entry): "They opened the chamber door just in time for me to see it happen: the Archimedian erupting into a flash, jade-like and blinding. I knew her. She was the greatest scholar of genetics who ever lived. Except now she was nothing but mist and gore."

Drifter: I could also ask Margulis what she felt about Ballas. She's right upstairs. But she says "We can finally begin to heal"" and I'm not an asshole.

Drifter: So, what have we learned?

Roathe: That somehow enough history survived the Collapse for you to debate me. "And what reason would I have to lie? What do I care of your opinion of the validity of their relationship?"

Drifter: Roathe, buddy, trust me, I know why Mr. Vice Ravage Grand Carnage 'Voted Sexiest Devil of Tau' two centuries running cares about convincing me that my personal executor boogeyman Ballas/Narmer was capable of love and being loved.

Drifter: So maybe start talking more about *you* and why I should consider dating *you*, and less about why Margulis chose death over the guy who abused her and her kids.

Ah yes. The English localized duo consisting of Edward Tanaka and Silvana.
