Have at it! Just me mindful that I won't give game spoilers, explore elaborate what-ifs, or fill out massive lists of odd facts about a dozen characters.

Question 1: Will we be able to be more evil and antagonistic in books 3 and 4? Question 2: For Chen and Ortega who are almost certain they know Sidestep is the villain, is the *almost* part intentional? They're both savvy and capable enough that if they really wanted to they could prove their suspicions. So why haven't they? Question 3: Do either of them suspect that the other has also figured it out? Question 4: Does Psychopathor have a civilian life? Could he go out into society and no one would think he's anything special? Question 5: How big a deal is Psychopathor? Is he a top tier villain, the best in his niche, or just one of many modded criminals? Question 6: Did Psychopathor's natural psi abilities have any effect on being threaded? Question 7: Are people with natural psi abilities more likely to develop telepathy from boosting? Question 8: Could they develop true telepathy from a TBR without being boosted first? Question 9: If Sidestep possessed another telepath would they be able to intuitively use and understand their telepathy? Question 10: If Sidestep really tried could they learn to understand their nanovores as well as Argent, or is their mind too tech for Sidestep to be able to make sense of? Question 11: Is Argent willing to pursue a real relationship with Sidestep because she knows they can actually protect themself from her if she loses control? Question 12: Was there a time after Argent got a lock on her nanovores symbiosis that she reveled in being a brand new, very powerful person. Is there any of that still left or has the novelty worn off? Question 13: Is Catfiend maxed out? Is his regeneration so powerful that he can't undergo TBR, be boosted, or be modded anymore? Question 14: If there is still a person deep down inside Catfiend, could Sidestep find them? Question 15: Can HG unthread themself? If they said "I won't leave this room until I finish my work" and then something urgently required their attention can they say something like "I can leave now" and undo it? Question 16: Has HG ever accidentally threaded themself in such a way that was dangerous and/or disadvantagous to themself and they just had to wait it out and hope nothing bad happened? Question 17: Does HG consider their power weaker than their older brother's? Question 18: HG only cares about a few people, some Sidesteps only care about a few people, how much of a problem can it be if the only people they both care about is each other? Question 19: Jake is proud of his position in HG's organization and insecure about how he got there. Would he be angrier if Sidestep treated him like HG treated the puppet or if they treated him as HG's sidepiece? Question 20: How much work does Nocturne do independently of HG, does she meet with people on her own or only with HG? Question 21: Does Nocturne hate her power? There is no proactive use for it, it's mostly useless to her if everything is already going her way. Does it reminds her of how passive and incapable she used to be? Question 22: Did you expect fans to latch onto and be so interested in the HG trio even though they've only really had one appearance so far?

- Will we be able to choose our Step's past relationship to the Farm? Whether they were fully subordinate or always had intentions to run?

Ben L.

How many people has Argent killed? Have her nanovores killed someone that she absolutely did not want to kill? What's the most embarrassing thing Ortega has done that Sidestep has witnessed? Were they able to bully Ortega about it afterwards or does Ortega have no shame? Was Argent correct that Sidestep was very lucky to have survived invading her mind, or is she underestimating the strength of Sidestep's mental powers? Would Chen and a lesbian Sidestep feel a special kinship once they've become friendly enough for Chen to come out to her? Since the rat king's brains were removed at birth, was some kind of growth induced so they'd reach full size and maturation, or are they all still infant rat brains? What did Owl say to provoke a punch from Ortega? Are there any traditions or holidays in LD that are considered sacrosanct by both heroes and villains? For instance, even the worst villains don't cause trouble on, say, a memorial day for the Big One (is there a memorial day for that?)

Reed

Who are the most protective RO's ranked in order?

Ghosty

Is Arde's plan something that only affects them or is others too? What was Armadillo's name before they escaped? And why did they chose their current name? How many people can actually withold HG threading? If it's not too spoilerish, what was Sidestep life like in the farm? I have gotten a picture they were kept pretty isolated but at the same time they are familiar with re-gene language and are aware how 'lucky' they were, compared to some of their siblings.

Stellar Skadi

Will it be up to player choice whether or not Sidestep killed people during their second escape from the Farm? Also, a bit of a delicate topic, but for Sidesteps that were sexually abused by the Farm, will they ever come face to face with their abuser(s)? In a manner where Sidestep has their autonomy still, just to be clear. Or will it just be a "in the past" thing that's more about the effects and repercussions.

All Blue

Is a blue Re-Gene’s hair affected by the blue tint as well? Or does it look like normal hair? Does Jake’s family know what exactly he does as a job nowadays? Being a hitman is rather different to being a drug runner. How do they feel about it? Do his nieces/nephews know? His siblings/parents?

All Blue

Given that HG’s empire takes advantage of and preys on communities that need help the most… how does Jake feel about it, given he had no real choice but to resort to crime to provide for his family? Especially the families/people that suffer for it?

Chandler

You mentioned that Psychopather and HG worked together at one point or at the very least agreed not to mess with each other, how did they both feel about that agreement?

Edward Conner

So I'm curious Q1: is Argent actually a naive idealist like she occasionally comes off as or this that just more acting? Q2 Could we get up to some truly unethical anarchy & chaos generation in the book 3 like say hitting large scale food production facilities, taking out water treatment or power plants? Don't forget changing out medicine for either placebos or other substances? I mean proper anarchy is remarkably unfortunate for most people & if the people of the nation are busy fighting for their survival than technically that only benefits a Sidestep dedicated to self preservation, as the government would by default be close to or already in shambles at best.

DarkFire

Given that there will possibly be HB talks coming up, will Steps have a chance to define their feelings/relationship with Anathema pre HB?

DarkFire

A lot of characters can make comments about an alcohol steps habits, coming in book 3 (depending on ending ofc) would any of them try to stage an intervention of sorts? Or if step is staying and healing with a Ranger/RO would any potentially try and cut them off?

weretoad

In Retribution, at Ortega's apartment, when Step is reflecting on how the Farm tried to convince them that their friends never really cared about them, there's a line "Was it an accident that they left that paper in the office, the front page showing everything you feared?" -- what was on the front page? (or is that headcanon/spoilers territory?) When Sidestep talks about the Farm raiding their mind until it was in worse shape than their body, what does the Farm use to do that? Do they have like, telepathic imaging tech? Or would they use another telepath to extract the information/memories they wanted? Thanks!!

Abena

Im at home with COVID (just sniffles and isolation not major) and was wondering how would the ROs treat a sick sidestep? Do they get pampered or is it a 'oof hmu if you need something?' Does Ortega have any major regrets with their epilepsy? I can see them going crazy at a rave/clubbing.

Heather Williams

I would love to be able to reveal to argent that step was the one who put them up for the women's university award. Will we be able to tell her this and get her reaction? I think it would be delightful to see how annoyed she gets with this. Also would like to know if HG would feel as though step is their long lost sibling and if so is there a possibility of becoming attached to them as if they are a sibling?

Edward Conner

Since DARPA have been testing thought imaging tech for over forty years in black sites IRL, I would really hope that the directive has invested in that same tech. Otherwise they'd basically be at the mercy of a cooperative telepath which I can't see as acceptable to any group of maniacs playing god on the same scale they are whether or not they see it as playing god.

Edward Conner

If there was a way to keep their abilities intact while removing their mods/healing their bodies would Ortega, Chen, Argent jump at the opportunity? If so what would be the limit of their willingness to take a hypothetical deal? Say if a known & proven miracle worker(for lack of a better term) was offering. I know I basically asked this question a long time ago so no hard feelings if it's ignored.

Ashlyn

Did Elena notice Step’s secret crush back in the day? How about now if they’re healing at the ranch?

Ashlyn

Has Argent avoided her family for reasons other than the nanovores?

Ashlyn

Has HG ever had a point in their career where they regret what they’ve done or think they’ve gone too far?

Ashlyn

Could an empathetic step with a good relationship with HG play a softening role to their methods?

Ashlyn

Step’s second escape was a mess for the farm. How long did it take to get things back to normal/functioning?

Ashlyn

Danny seems to still be learning the extent of his powers. How often does he push the limits?

Ashlyn

How did Locus get access to the boost drug at only 13?

weretoad

Does Spoon have a favorite spot to nap?

Ashlyn

What’s going thru Chen’s head when a “villain?” Step admits to going to therapy? How come he gets more sus?

Ashlyn

How does Arde feel about cuckoos? Do they feel cheated out of their unique experiences or something else?

Edward Conner

Is there an incredibly autistic super genius solving random mysteries in the Fallen Hero world?, like a slightly lazier L from death note because I think it'd be pretty funny if there was some random who could solve pretty much everyone's problems but is just to lazy or disinterested to bother.

bookishTomato

In the code Dr. Mortum uses ${mhe} etc., M for Mortum, which makes sense, but Charge/Ortega uses ${he} instead of ${che} which Sidestep and Themmy use instead, why is that? There's code in rebirth for a variable called puppetargent_friendship which was never used and it doesn't appear at all in Retribution; was Argent supposed to have met the puppet in Rebirth before you changed your mind on this?

Illya Smith

Did argent ever have doubts about whether her stealing the nanovores was due to her own connection to them or outside forces?

Edward Conner

So IRL the Russians invented bionics to compete with early cybernetics research in the late 60s but eventually gave up on the field of study altogether in the late 80s when cybernetics R&D made so many breakthroughs it was clear they could never reasonably compete with bionics. In a lot of ways bionics were far better than even current day publicly available cybernetics or prosthetics. Some current prosthetics are actually based on bionics research. Did bionics ever become popular or keep developing in the Fallen Hero world? Look into some of the old bionics research projects it's incredibly interesting might even give you some good ideas.
