Forum:Geisterdamen

From the Revenants page: Vrin was confirmed as a revenant by Sgt. Scorp back at Sturmhalten. --mnenyver 15:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Which I never understood. The Geisterdamen don't need wasp infection to be utterly loyal to their ghoddess.  It's the way they are.  This strikes me as one of the -- remarkably few -- breaks in the logic of the story. -- that old bearded guy 15:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

 * big devious grin* Exaaaaactly. Doesn't make sense to wasp a Geisterdamen, does it? There have been a few hints that there are two factions of Geisterdamen. ("She doubted your divinity!" and "There are signs she did not work alone.") --mnenyver 16:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
 * My odd sci-fi-fan thought was that the Geisters might have come pre-wasped... that they were symbiotic entities to start with, and the inspiration for making the wasps or even what she made them out of. We know that not being human (Jaegerkin) and even natural variations among humans (the Spark) change the way a host reacts, after all. And if it's not quite the same kind of wasp, would the weasel things know that? --Acacia 16:41, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

My theory is that Lucrezia and The Other are almost, but not quite, one and the same, which is why you have some Geister thinking that one is not their real goddess. It'd also explain why Vrin (and others) were infected. How this all might have gone down, I have no idea. (The hints about transdimensional harmonics? That infernal brain-imprinting machine? I've learned not to second-guess the Foglios. :p) --mnenyver 17:11, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
