Wednesday, 21 September 2022 07:57So, for narrative and thematic reasons, I choose to read that before the armistice, there was actually plenty of intra-colony conflict within Keves and Agnus, especially on the Agnian side. Kevesi colonies, due to their reliance on technology, had to cooperate regularly, but the more martially focused Agnian colonies were in aggressive competition with each other for Kevesi targets, and had little reason to collaborate. (I feel like this is at least incidentally supported by the text.)
Consequently, once the armistice is on and the gang starts building the Aionios mutual aid network for real and proper, there's an opportunity for me to make Isurd and Teach have some major Not This Guy Again energy at each other. They're both such high-energy Type A people, I feel like the differences in personality and personal philosophy would breed some extremely interesting clashing.
(I also just enjoy giving characters who are strong-willed but, like, reasonable about it, opportunities to have completely unreasonable BEC at each other. It is never not entertaining.)
