ANON asked: Does Team Cross have a logo???

Sort of, but not really. They’re not a traditional team that has uniformed grunts obviously out in the field, doing there dirty work. They’re much more of a secret organization, very heavily focused on research. As such, there likely is a stylized “C” that is sort of a logo, but it’s really more of a trademark. And even then, it doesn’t make sense for them to brand everything they sell with their logo, since it increases the chance of their organization getting implicated if any of their technology gets seized. 

I was actually inspired by Cipher (the evil organization in Colosseum) when making Team Cross.  Not in the sense that the organizations themselves are similar, but more that it’s an evil team that doesn’t follow all the “traditional tropes” the other teams follow.  Since Cipher doesn’t have a logo, I never felt a strong need to give Team Cross one either.

A team that for sure has a logo I need to get around to designing is Team Terra, since they do commonly use it (and it’s incorporated into their uniforms).  It’d be a stylized “T” that I tend to picture as purple, but might be blue and red if that ends up looking better once I sketch out designs.

Need to tinker with the endgame of Lance/Ethan/Silver like I mentioned in another post, so this is not accurate per se on Sieg and Silver relationship stuff, but good ref overall. The Team Cross info here is def correct (if you’re picking up on some dire implications, yes that’s intentional. Run with what those implications are telling you). —-

ANON asked: How would Silver feel about Sieg? Would he consider him a son too, or would he not talk to/ignore him because of the whole "Lance returning and Ethan going back to him" situation?

He wouldn’t not talk to/ignore him, but he also wouldn’t consider him a son, largely because his contact with Sieg is minimal.  While Silver still maintains contact with Hale and Penel, it’s often not while Ethan and Lance are around, unless everyone is meeting in a neutral location (such as watching one of them compete in a tournament or at some kind of large event). Silver won’t go visit them at Ethan and Lance’s residence, so as such, he doesn’t interact much with Sieg when he’s little and would only really get the chance to interact with him more once he’s older.  And even then, any contact would have to be initiated by Sieg, since Silver wouldn’t go out of his way to contact him.  If Hale or Penel bring him with them when they visit, he does treat Sieg kindly, but overall, he has mixed feelings about the kid. 

While Silver is in disagreement on a lot of things related to Lance and Ethan, he thinks it’s foolish of them to have another child, partially given their age (since Ethan would be 39/40 while Lance would be 52/53), but more so because of the state Lance is in.  Even ignoring the whole PTSD thing, Silver has had to work heavily with a lot of the test-subjects that were experimented on by Team Cross, he’s seen the test results.   And the results show that any of the ex-test subjects should be wary about having biological children, since the genetic modifications do tend to get passed on to children to varying degrees.  Team Cross intentionally tested this out, seeing if it was possible to breed test subjects that inherited modifications from either of their parents.   Having a child isn’t dangerous per se, but there are risks involved, and there’s a fair chance something off will be inherited by the child.  

If the pregnancy had been an accident, that would be one thing, but once he finds out that they were intentionally trying for a child, it’s just another thing he’s mad at Ethan about.  As much as he tells himself he shouldn’t care what Ethan does now, he can’t help but still be concerned about him.  He leaves dealing with them to Leaf when they do come by for appointments, since they’re not unaware of the risks either.  The appointments are to make sure everything is alright with Sieg, and then once it turns out (surprise, surprise), he did seem to inherit something, it’s mainly to monitor him in case of complications.

Despite all of this, SIlver is still concerned about Sieg.  Deep down, he never stops loving Ethan, plus this is Hale and Penel’s little brother.  He doesn’t want anything bad to happen to the kid, so he takes a vested interest in his welfare.  He might not directly interact with Sieg when he comes by for appointments, but he still checks up with Leaf after the fact, going over the data himself to double check nothing was missed (Leaf is vaguely offended he doesn’t fully trust her opinion, but let’s it slide given his complicated history with the parents).

Once Sieg is older and has more agency in deciding who he wants to spend time around, he actually would want to get to know Silver more.  Penel in particular talks about him fondly, and he’s sort of vaguely aware of the overall situation (although to him, it’s basically ‘Silver was your big siblings’ dad while your daddy was gone, and he’s also the leader of the place you sometimes have to go visit the fancy doctors at’).  He wants to hang out with this important sounding person too, so once he’s a little older, he will ask Penel to sometimes take him with her when she visits Silver.  Best case scenario is that they would get to the point Sieg would start calling him “Uncle Silver,” which while Silver would be half horrified/half touched by, he’d also be like “how did this happen, I was trying to keep my distance from this kid because I still don’t want to deal with his parents!?!”
