Finaly we have Noel back.
I really hope we can kill Claire thought...really what a bitch, her caring for her daughter doesn't change that.

...Claire's being influenced/controlled, isn't she? There's no other explanation for such a nuclear heel turn.

Possible but I kinda doubt it. There's a reason she got out of the business before the game started and it's likely that she really doesn't like the person she is when she's got power and wanted to keep her daughter safe from her own bullshit. She went from a regular mom to the most powerful person in the most powerful country. It'd be nice if there's some metaphysical explanation that exonerates her actions but I suspect that it's a much more simple case of absolute power corrupting absolutely.

How is she seeing dark ones without a bond? I can't remember if it was ever explained, but her trash side was already shown during the take-over, how she treated Emma.

And I don't know who should control her. Maybe Tessah, she is suspiciously out of the story right now, but other primordials doesn't make sense.

Amy, Ren, Noel, Dia, Arsael are 100% not. We don't really know what Tessah is up to. Nael doesn't give a shit about humans, except Gab, but she is still hiding a lot.

Tessah was effectively dead until Nael revived her, and that was after Claire started going all nazi mode. She might be manipulating her to make her more heartless but she didn't change Claire's base nature like she did with Az. She would've just turned Claire's genocide dial up from a 6 or a 7 to an 11. I think it's still more likely that Claire is just letting her inner self out now that she's in a position of power.

This chapter raises a lot of questions, like: what is the gestation period of a dark one? How long does it take them to mature (a second? Ten thousand years?) Will the new one be a primordial? Will the MC defect to the Brotherhood, and can he take Emma and Clara with him? Is there a way to get Gab back in the game? I can’t stand waiting months for answers, so speculation is welcome….

what is the gestation period of a dark one?
Probably a combination of as long as the mother wants it to be, measured against how long the fetus takes to develop some sense of sentience. Dark ones are shape shifters so if a 12 week dark one fetus gained self awareness then I imagine there'd be pretty much nothing stopping them from just developing themself as much as they want.
Will the new one be a primordial?
Possibly? The only new dark ones in existence are Noel and Amy and they were both instantly primordials. Were they primordials because they were created by a primordial or were then because they were created by Nael? Amy might be a primordial but she's way weaker than Nael so who knows if her offspring would exceed the authority threshold of a primordial. I suspect that her offspring would be an extremely powerful dark one, likely high S class potential but I'm skeptical that without some serious intervention or feeding that she'd exceed a primordial's baseline.
Will the MC defect to the Brotherhood, and can he take Emma and Clara with him?
Probably, depending on your stats. I've got 81 brotherhood points on my main save, it'd be weird if MC didn't join them, or possibly even promote to leadership of it. Then again who knows if there'll even be a brotherhood after what that shitbag Claire did.
Is there a way to get Gab back in the game?
Last time Gab died Nael destroyed the entire fucking universe. I think he'll die at some point but not until Nael mentally and emotionally develops a bit more. He'll probably get rescued at least this once.

What I find really interesting is what will happen to Two. MC and Blake aren't going to fight him on a busy passenger airplane when all 4 of them need to get home first, but they're gonna be locked in tight quarters on a trans Atlantic flight. That's a lot of time to bury the hatchet and Two is by far the most pragmatic of the 4 horsemen that we'd seen.

Another banger of an update. But after all the events unfolded it became clear, Claire needs to go. Right now she is more of a threat than anything we've seen despite not being a companion. And personally this whole "My child is in danger so now i have to become Hitler" is fucking crazy. I hope the dev doesn't pull some weak ass shit and have her being controlled/manipulated just to avoid having to kill her, because right now i'd like nothing more. I love Clara but Claire won't get a pass just because she's her mom.
