ARK: Survival Evolved & Ascended Companion

From Ben

I’m glad you all enjoyed Chapter 27 of TOT!

PrimalApex I didn’t really have the type of jet in mind, all I know is that it works on element and has four seats and a trunk, so probably a more futuristic jet. Idk. Hope this helps!

Sylveevee, Pat said that because I see him as the type of guy who sees himself as the hero, the one in the right. Many of the times, villains think they’re in the right and don’t view themselves as villains, and I think Pat is definitely one of them. To him, he was completely reasonable for not trusting the turned good enemy soldiers and he might think what Queen Syl did to him was “villainous” and that she doesn’t care about him or her people. Doctor Bubba and Milo… maybe not so much, but they don’t care, and Pat doesn’t know what those two have done to innocents.

Wyvernian, all of this is the case of Samuel being himself. He is an extremely selfish human being who only cares about himself and those close to him. It has a lot to do with his childhood (which you’ll learn about in TAOH once you read further in). In terms of what he’s going to do… he MIGHT join the villains, but at the end of Chapter 27 he still doesn’t know the villains are at the black obelisk creating their army and we know Drain probably won’t be so keen on teaming up with him… I don’t think he would work with them just because of Drain, but if he had the opportunity he would join forces with them. However I would definitely see him tearing all of them apart from the inside at some point since they serve no purpose to him except to be the muscles to potentially take others down.

In terms of redemption, I don’t think that’s possible.. In TAOH it was because Samuel was very keen on trying to find the true identity of Star (alongside trying to escape the Island). Star reminds him a lot of Nova due to the fact that he does care a lot about the dodo bird, so when things get down to business and he has to make morally ambiguous choices sometimes he doubts himself and chooses to do the right thing, because that’s what Nova would want him to do. Will he get better throughout TAOH? Maybe, i dunno. Well I do know but I probably can’t say.

On the other hand though, in TOT his goal is to return to his home story. There’s no reason for it but he MUST return home, no matter what, and because he knows that these people are not a part of his universe/story he doesn’t care about them. The morally ambiguous choices he makes are no longer immoral to him because since they are not a part of his universe they are not his responsibility. Deciphering the note Star gave to him in TAOH Chapter 30 is no longer his main priority due to what he considers the highest stakes. Back in his TAOH world is where Nova is, and the more time he spends in the Omega Timeline, the more likely it is he won’t be able to see her ever again. In this case, he can do whatever he wants because it won’t have a lasting consequence on his home story.

The only consequence, obviously, is mentally he won’t be the same again… but he isn’t Batman. So he doesn’t view this as a consequence to himself.

Yeah that’s about it. Seeya later!
