To Mender Silos

[Likara]

So, I was at a crystal, looking through timelines to mend, when I noticed the Praetorian Powers Division arcs. "Huh, that's interesting," I thought, and decided to choose the first one, with Praetor White. Not only did it work, but no one questioned, or even so much as batted an eye to my legitimacy, as far as anyone was concerned, I was a fresh Powers Division recruit! Now I can't help but wonder, how did you pull that off? I don't even have a Praetorian double to replace! I'm really in awe of just how perfectly I fit into this timeline. 😁

Paperwork.

Loads and loads of forged paperwork.

No one ever checks the paperwork when you pile enough of it on their desk.  They'll just rubberstamp the "APPROVED" and throw it in their "outbox" to try and get home before the next episode of their HBO miniseries airs that evening.

Its a Nemesis Plot!

That's what your double wants you to believe. They were really, really peeved about you not sending them a card for your birthday.

[MTeague]

If you don't have a Praetorian Double?  You ARE the Praetorian Double.

They just altered your memories, just like they did to Proton in the Twinshot Arc.

I always explain it away with the hero/villain Doppelganger arcs. You may have thought they were all clones/ no one mentions they are from Praetoria, but you never know...

You're welcome.

Or are you?....

Do you really think Praetor White gives a crap about all the noobs that come pester him all the time?  He doesn't have time to check out your backstory.  All he's thinking about is that his girlfriend's acting weird for some reason and if you'll help him suck up to her that's good enough for him.

I am the very model of a modern metal general,
I've data metallurgical, mechanical, and chemical,
I knew the kings of England, and I've studied wars historical
From Marathon to Klendathu, in order chronological;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with logic algorithmical,
I understand the threats that come from changes that are temporal,
In fact, about the Coming Storm I'm teeming with a lot of news,
Although the driblets I provide won't be enough for you to use.
I do foreshadowing and dropping hints of a new race;
I know the scientific names of every species that you'll face:
In matters metallurgical, mechanical, or chemical,
I am the very model of a modern metal general.

Meet Athanasia, another Power Division rookie. Not suspicious at all, except:

• She is wearing a Resistance armor.
• She equips herself with Vanguard technology. Guess where did she get those things. 
• She regularly enlists her friends to help complete her mission. One of them is reading "Paragon City Times".

If you really want to test his powers of perception and giving a crap, run the flashbacks with a squid-form Kheld and see if he says anything.

[huang3721]

Praetor White is not the only character with impaired perception.
Mr. Scott, meet Athanasia.

 

 

Resistance neutralized. Crisis averted. Thank you, Mender Silos. 😁

Exactly.  Like they say in poker, "If you've been in a game for five minutes and you don't know who the patsy is, it's you."

Hmm. That explains a few things about the last game I was in...
