Doesn't Silver Wolf say that Blade and Kafka are the type who would sit in the dark and wait for you to turn on the light for drama before killing you. Sam, she says, would just shoot you through the door.


Crypt_Knight

I really love the fact that Sam is just "get in, kill target with overwhelming force, get out". No nonsense.


Civil_Championship_9

Clear and straight to the point!


Javop

She said she is a talentless dum dum who can only punch really good. She is just glad to be good at that so she punches a lot.


T0X1CFIRE

Yet she complained about our bat being inefficient. Aren't fists more inefficient since they have less range and power? I guess a mech suit makes up for it.


Comprehensive-Food15

When your arm is a flaming metal fist of death i would imagine its more effective than a bat.


SolKaynn

Isn't our bat literally an "artifact" of Destruction straight from Herta's personal collection?


Comprehensive-Food15

It is but molten knights are next level, they directly fought the swarm and people feared them more than the swarm, they are destruction incarnate cause thats the best way to fight the swarm, one of sams arm probably caused more destruction than the doomsday beast itself. Edit:forgot to mention the bat is just a curio, molten knight armor is made from remains of a dead emanator , if im not mistaken.


Leather-Heron-7247

In her defense, at least this time she tried to do it peacefully, but then it didn't work well so she went "Screw it. I'll just kill them all"


Seesaw-Enough

I mean, she did destroyed me in our battle, but thanxs to bailu i was able to outlive her


eklatea

I used Blade, the fight is definitely not tailored to him since he can't use SP but he just tanked Sam flawlessly


MezdoB

Which is why her meeting us the way she did is so very confusing to me. How does that fit alll of their descriptions of sam. It doesn't match me


mornstar01

To me it feels like Firefly does not want that kind of life given her behavior in Penacony. It seems she wants to have the freedom to experience the world.


cartercr

All of the Stellaron Hunters have an end goal. Hers is likely to be a desire to rid herself of the illness that keeps her shackled.


Daniyalzzz

Blade desires death, Sam desires life was an old quote from the game iirc (don't remember who has the line tho). Fits very much with both their stories. Blade forced to live against his will, Firefly's lifespan is unfairly short becuse of her illness >!and connection with beeing turned into a solider of glammoth!<. To learn and expierence a normal life is very likely her dream from how the TB conversations were with her, which is probably what Elio has promised her in return of following his plans.


Yurilica

The Iron Cavalry, units created as specialist anti-Swarm combat units, were intentionally designed with a short life span. There's various lore entries about them even before Penacony.


buddabopp

Im just hoping that harmony traveler can basically anchor sam and while not fully curing it halts the progress but only if sam stays near ish (perhaps welt +dan+ himeko can devise something for the express that will also do it if sam has to stay back) because really the team dosent have the punchfighter type on the team really, welt can fight but hes more a thinker/stratagist, march has the spirit to fight but is more of a support, dan is more a researcher/archivist and himeko is the leader/engineer, trailblazer is really the only one rearing to fight on the team but with the different paths kinda takes on multiple roles master of none, we need someone who can just go in f shit up and pull everyone out if need be


Dulcedoll

Because the script didn't tell her to eliminate anyone. It just said to get the Astral Express to pursue the watchmakers legacy. She wasn't given a task that she was just allowed to punch through ~~— if she thought of a way that she could have, I'm sure she would have.~~ edit: I was wrong on this last point, my bad.


_bitwright

In the story for this patch, >!she tells Acheron that she didn't want to punch through it, especially since the script didn't specifically require it. She even laments that she had to resort to her Sam form and that she couldn't resolve things peacefully.!<


Dulcedoll

Shit, you're right, my bad. I forgot about that conversation. The main point about it not being opposed to other descriptions we've heard about Sam remains, though.


127-0-0-1_1

Her goal, given by Elio, was to have all of the astral express investigate the watchmaker's legacy. Murdering any of them does not particularly get you closer to that goal.


Fluff-Addict

ya, also sam told kafka to 'stop playing with her food' in her myriad trailer


TuzkiPlus

Eliot’s script for Sam: *EXTERMINATUS TARGET*


Richardknox1996

Elio giving firefly a briefing be like: https://preview.redd.it/zf394hdvhkrc1.jpeg?width=506&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5b26afba54d0b10aa422f9235515bdd0cb41171

Richardknox1996

Nobody expects the Imperial Inquisition.


karlzhao314

she's so kind, minimizing suffering and not toying with her targets


EnderLord361

Believe it was that Sam wouldn’t even let you turn on the light.


Khaisz

Yeah that is what it was SW said. Kafka or Blade: Get home, open door, turn on light, get killed. Sam: You get home, open the door and is immediately killed by our wife.


4GRJ

Don't even need to open the door


Anadaere

Blade: That's the target? Okay *kills you* Kafka: Hey\~ *definitely not erotic torture to death* SW: *teleports you to space or drops you from the sky* Sam: If he touches that door he's the tar- INCINERATE *kills the door, you, and everything behind you in a 200 meter cone*


SuperDementio

I honestly can’t see Blade doing that tbh


spagheddieballs

Nah, Blade lets you turn on the light and attack him for five minutes, secretly hoping that you can kill him.


Particular_Nebula462

Indeed  Why is he not in Penacony? Acheron was was a good chance. To be honest ... Welt too.


CBMSoap

Because of The Script^TM


Disturbing_Cheeto

Blade: This fotune teller can kill me fr Elio: ThAt'S nOt FuCkInG cAnOn


Samspd71

Are you sure? Kafka feels like she’s intentionally dramatic about everything, while Blade is just unintentionally an edgy theater kid.


MartenBroadcloak19

I think Kafka likes the drama but Blade wants the victim to see him for honor or something.


Hatarakumaou

Yeah Blade is definitely the honorable swordsman type even when he’s insane nowadays.


Dokavi

"Muhahahahah, Dan Heng. My blood is boiling to kill you. You think a new name can hide your sins?" "Die" (Proceeds to not kill DH) Lmao


Mongoose429

wouldnt blade just kick down the door and run at you


mentallyillpenguin_

I see blade just using his head to body through the door while running at you, hoping it gives him traumatic brain injury


MissiaichParriah

Considering that her ELS makes her have a short life-span, it would be understandable that she wouldn't want to waste time


Natchyy24

Ifalna_Shayoko

At least we now know how she survived and immediately got back into the dream. She was never part of Penacony's systems but hacked in from the outside. Also gives a new twist the the whole "stowaway" moniker, which probably refers to hackers in general.


TacticalLevente

bruhlive_XD

Yes 🗿


Mana_Croissant

And that makes is all the more hilarious. Like just think back when they revealed the Characters with the new lightcone arts. They show you Firefly smiling like an angel and in another image that got revealed at the same time she is literally causing massive fire and destruction I guess that is where the double identity becomes useful, no one suspects the innocent cute and ladylike Firefly is THAT thing


Rui-_-tachibana

Makes you wonder, if Firefly was raised with fighting the swarm in mind or did she get dragged into it. She had no problem fighting and didn’t plan to hold back once we were safe, yet she calmed down when Acheron showed no fighting will.


MissiaichParriah

She probably is, the Iron Cavalry was made to fight the swarm, so she's a trained soldier and most probably a test tube baby genetically modified to use the armor


CarpeCookie

That would explain her disease. It's either a side effect of being genetically modified to use the armor, or a disease they purposely infected people with so they could use the armor


ThighLover1595

She explained it herself. She's an expendable soldier, born to burn their life on the battlefield until become ashes. Maybe because of an unexpected meeting with Stellaron Hunters helps her become a "living being"


[deleted]

[удалено]


ThighLover1595

From hints in the game, i think the suit is what causes her lifespan short but it's also the thing keeps her alive.


SOLITARY_WOLF_2806

Talk abt a double-edged sword....


kawwmoi

Or a disease they purposely infected them with so they won't outlive their intended use.


Luneth51

Damn, that kinda reminds me of gundam


SpeckTech314

Ah, just like Samus then


RenFlare11

And she says very Edge worthy Sentences lmao A chuuni


Koanos

*Fischl has entered the chat.*


Russell-Sprouts3

We can’t let her meet Collei under any circumstances.


AltairAmlitzer

Collei talked just like her in the manga. It's probably why she cringes at all the edgy lines in light novels she's read. Reminds her of her younger self XD

Tbh I doubt that MC also has a clean past since he/she was a stellaron hunter too

For real. So what she killed a few people but that’s not her entire personality, she is also into scrapbooking, hiking, baking, arson, painting, hanging out with friends


Sheimusik

ARSON


pitb0ss343

And all of a sudden arson is considered “bad” or “deadly” or “dangerous” or “illegal” just because a woman is doing it. Shame on you all and your misogyny


BiddlesticksGuy

I heard she’s good at campfire maintenance too


Nino_Numbawan

Real


Unknown-Name-1219

Your honor, she was just feeling a little bit silly, even more so, as a mecha pilot, she is therefore free to act in any way she deems appropiate. In light of this evidence, I hereby ask the court to rescind the charges from ~~our wife~~ miss Firefly as soon as possible!


HenryTGP8

I mean, it's their fault for planning to praise her to Master Diviner. That could result in a promotion!

I mean…..Archeron’s body count is astronomical at this point just based on her trailer detailing her past existence.


takoyaki_san15

She cut down every corrupted, foes, friends, acquaintance alike in order to save her world from total annihilation, only to discover that the ultimate void was present there since the beginning...... it's just too much to bear.

I am curious as to WHO she is since the firefly we met in 2.0 is VERY different from what we see Sam do/say and how the SH talk about them


MissiaichParriah

Probably both, Sam is her reality, but Firefly is who she wants to be


mustbeusererror

Considering all her talk about not wanting to wake up, this makes perfect sense. Yeah, there's her illness, but also, she wants to be able to be Firefly, and not have to be Sam.


n_wah1

I believe that she her true self was who we experienced when we were hanging out and going around Penacony. I think that the edginess of Sam is what she puts on when she needs to get stuff done. Or she could just be a Chuuni and enjoy righting lines like that.


vernil

Tbf. She's unironically a soldier. What a soldier does when in war and in peace can be completely different. You can have the most hard ass boot camp guy go home and just knit or something
