This mission took me like 5 attempts on brutal. Any ground based composition just gets shredded cause they just throw units at you endlessly. Mass Phoenixes is the only way to go cause unlike multiplayer, they can lift and fire without channelling, so once you reach critical mass, every single enemy unit they send can actually be countered/lifted by the phoenix (but in normal circumstances phoenixes dont have much DPS so you wouldnt think they would work). Also since there actually arent that many buildings you have to destroy aside from a few bunkers and cannons.
took me 3 tries with an all ground based army on brutal u just have to take out the two bases goo/stalker immortal dts u have to enter the terran base from the north east ramp rather than the south one once ur up there its easy to clear the protoss base is super easy to clear u enter from the south west entrance and move north in both areas u have to have quite a bit of antiair but dts will shred most of the troops allowing immortals to clean up and goons/stalkers are focus firing voids bcs and carriers Also if u did shakuras, glacius then korhal "fenix" has some intresting voice lines
Oh and a little tip Lowko, make the units that you acquire for the specifik mission. They make missions in such a way that the units that you get for that mission are the best on that mission aswell.......
Fenix always wonders when he have time: I’m I a dragoon or a zealot? Then he realized that he is a fucking helicopter (I'm not kidding look up his thunderous charge, he can fly)
So they essentially extended the joke with Fenix's name. He 'died' as a Zealot, reborn as a Dragoon, then died again. But was reborn, again, as a purifier Immortal-thing. IIRC, every time he died it was in a 'blaze of glory' too. Edit: Oh right, well he died the first time under a blazing sun, so there we go. Also, he sounds like Alarak.
Love you Lowko! With mass fenix this mission is very easy... And if you have automated gas, you should build the 4 gasses at the beggining of the game. GG!
When Lowko went to the solar core the first time, I thought "He's big on early economy, so he'll go for chrono surge and orbital assimilator, and then add Solar Lance to use his solarite." At first I was wrong, but lo and behold, he came back and proved me right. :) Good job, Lowko!
fun thing is some of the protoss from campaign are the champion personalities in co-op, notably talis from the prologue is the champion adept unlike co-op though 90% of the lotv missions have their waves created from their bases rather than just spawned, this means killing an enemy base results in no more attack waves from there
The moment that someone has their brain copied to an AI computer, successfully, will immediately realize they are now sitting there old and dying still, just with a robot next to them saying 'sup bro'
To clean up any confusion with Purifer Fenix. When Fenix got killed the first time in episode 3, Aldaris got his mind scanned for the revival purifer program before waking him up in the Dragoon and the back ups memory was altered to think he was just send to the purifer research base for other reasons. This got lore fans fairly mad since Aldaris was big on Protoss traditions including dying in glorious combat and so him being involved in a revival of the purifier program seems out of character for him and was only done just so Fenix could be in the game.
To be fair you can easily handwave it as "well the science team division made a scan of his mind just in case Purifers program will be Greenlit and then when Aiut went in flames downladed it into working prototype and fabricated memory of getting direct order to copy of a person, someone who that copied mind will never question - current Judicator Aldaris as a fail-safe in case no one will be alive from team to restart Purifers programm main site"
Using the phrase "killed" is a little off, since you can't be put inside a dragoon or immortal if you're dead, but beaten and crippled is more appropriate. I don't really think it's a lore issue though, the purifier revival program isn't the original purifier program and was developing a variety of weapons under a variety of ethical levels. Aldaris was loyal to the conclave more than he was loyal to the traditions of the protoss, at least before brood war. Since the conclave sanctioned the research there on glacius, i doubt it would've been something that he'd raise his voice against even if he had any personal reservations about the idea
5:50 love these small tidbits Lowko, really spice up the lets plays. The worst part about brain / conciousness downloading (or really what it is, copying) is that, it is impossible for it to be the same "you" that wakes up in the new body.. That's one part that futurists dont seem to consider. "They" will never, ever, experience life as an AI inside an immortal robotic shell, even if we achieve that technology tomorrow. So no matter how tempting and cool it may sound, if you were able to "transfer" your conciousness to an immortal machine shell, you really ought to think twice. Because the only thing "you" right here will experience, is death. Because the moment you copy your pattern into another form, even if that form is advanced enough to be sentient and self-aware just as we are, "it" will awaken as its own sense of self, the "you" that are reading this will never experience that awakening, because "you" will cease to exist once the copying is done and your biological brain is destroyed. I suppose it's best thought of as, falling asleep, and never waking up, but its another identity that wakes up and thinks its you, and thinks it continued a single continous existance due to retaining your memories. "It" will tell everyone "it's still me, it worked, i transferred!". But it's not the same identity, it's a copy of a now erased identity. Nobody will know that the previous original is now actually dead, because the new one believes it's the same one. In some ways, some theorists ponder wether loss of conciousness is actually that, the 'death' of the current self, and upon regaining conciousness such as after sleep, it's actually a new rebooted sense of self that merely thinks it's a continuation of the previous one, due to memories. The only way for the "you" reading this to actually get in another body, synthetic or not, would be if conciousness is something immaterial beyond the physical, in that case, perhaps there's a way to transfer the "soul". But if you dont believe that, or dont want to believe in anything beyond the purely materialistic, then i'm afraid there's simply no way you'll ever be able to experience any continous existance after your biological brain is copied. Because you cant actually "transfer" anything, only copy. Even "transfer" of information or quantum states via entanglement, isnt transferring one particle to another location, it's copying the state of one particle onto another particle. There is no "moving transfer from A to B" of information from one physical thing to another in nature, only copying A to B and deleting A.
ah, I didn't watch it fully when I was searching for it I just remembered that such moment was and I send it here I guess I'll have to watch it once again
Be sure to keep sentinels in mind. Little bit of an Adun upgrade spoiler, but later on you will get the ability to passively heal mechanical units. That includes Sentinels. Healing, resurrecting templar FTW.
Between Fenix's machine identity crisis, Rohana's nursing of the wounds of the past, and allying with the tyrant Alarak, Legacy of the Void has so many great themes. It pushes a bunch of those good sci-fi buttons and I'm glad it exists... even if the epilogue was disappointing.
Good thing that in Co-op you can see actually where the enemy attack wave is on the minimap. In the campaign it really becomes an issue - amon just throws deathballs of units at you and when you attack yourself atm you just loose your base. Pretty silly. Solar lance saved my butt a BUNCH of times coz of that. xD
You actually saw the expansion this time. I am so proud of your improvement Lowko lol (in case it wasn't obvious, in your first play through of this mission, you never saw it, even though it was on the minimap, and complained about the lack of an expansion).
By the way, I found that if you have energisers, you can use them to build up static defence faster than you normally be able to because their power generation ability allows you to build structures without having to wait for the pylons to finish warping in. I have not seen any RUclips play through where someone uses them in that way though and I don't understand why.
Jono98806 Because it is usually unnesesary as outside of your base, you don't need Static D, and in your base you put pylons (that later will serve as a power source for static D) to generate supply to get more probes.
FYI: There are enemy bases in the top left and bottom right. If you kill them (not easy, but doable on Brutal), not only will the attack waves stop but you also get another expansion!
Protip: chrono surge is trash, you used it one time. So is stasis field. As has been said in a wonderful way before, why freeze something that you can flat out kill? (Stasis vs Beam) with orbital assimilation you should cap the gas asap
It is actually really fascinating to think about the way to clone someone's mind and then awake it in some kind of machine. Pretty much requires that we first get our AI technology to a level where we could actually say that a robot has "feelings". Copying somebody's mind would be the next step.
A fun fact lowko might not've picked up on: Ulnar, the homeworld of the xelnaga, is the setting of Zeratuls last prophecy, the vision from the overmind of the protoss's last stand, back in WoL. Strangely, in WoL it's a natural planet rather then the giant space diamond we have discovered today. But Artanis's speech from that mission will get reused soon enough.
It's only labelled as Ulnar in the editor, nothing in-game confirms that it's actually supposed to be Ulnar (but that vision is also something entirely fake that Ouros made up to trick zeratul, so it doesn't exactly need to be accurate anyway)
"Is there ever going to be a point where we know everything?" Short answer: No. Longer answer: It has been proven that there is more that is true than is provable. Thus anything that is true, but not provable, must be accepted on faith. Does that count as known? Should it?
The first time you completed this mission, you did not build any static defence, and missed the expansion You have come a long way... I'm so proud of you
Lowko, you just talked about how overpowered the shadow cannons were. But when the carriers were beating up your guys you just had the Annilhators walking around underneath without doing anything.
On the topic of downloading your body and waking up years later as a cloned version, if you haven't already Lowko, you need to play SOMA. It very expertly touches on that topic. Im not the biggest fan of exploration horror games but SOMA is a breed of its own.
Lowko have you ever heard of a horror game called Soma? It essentially is about scanning people's brains and recreating them in robotic bodies. It's really fascinating, and it is very similar to Fenix's situation.
Hey Lowko, when you were talking about the concept of downloading a person's brain and transferring it to another body I thought about a game I played a while ago called SOMA. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's made by Paradox Interactive, the people who made Amnesia. It's an atmospheric horror game which explores this concept, maybe if you have some free time you could think about playing it, it's only about 8-10 hours long. Thanks again for the videos, they're great!
Actually Artanis explains that he used to call Raynor friend and they had stood shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield before, Fenix then hopes that he'll do so again in the future.
3:26 Lowko, on the solar core screen, let it sit for a really long time. There's a probe that comes to Karax to get fixed I think 3 times. I'd like to see that in the next video, because off Karax's comments on it if nothing else.
For those who don't know what the Ihan-rii are: the Ihan-rii is the name the Protoss called the Xell'nagha before they found out what their actual name was. Rohana knows that because she is a Preserver. The Protoss called the Xell'nagha the Ihan-rii since they found out they existed. That was way back when the Protoss lived in tribes and didn't even know how to write. They found out that the Ihan-rii were actually called Xell'nagha about a hundred years before the creation of the Khalla.
Hey Lowko if you are interested more in the download of memories and sticking them in another body i would suggest you read the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. The series is about a person being downloaded and then waking up a thousand years later as an ai.
Sentinels and engizers are super op! the third immortal is insane too. In this mission i crushed one enemy base, of course it was hard on brutal, but you get rid of half of the attack waves.
In terms of the mind if you were to transplant a copy of your mind into another body and your original were to die or become deceased by whatever means meaning all electrical brain activity stopped and such. Then your conscious goes with it, your mind doesnt just magically transfer over to the copy. Your copy would do things you would do but you yourself won't be making those decisions. It's a very complicated thing to explain...
30 sentries + 60 phoenixes can dispatch anything on this mission, and that still leaves 50 supply for probes. I guess it should also be doable with energizers, but having a bunch of shield batteries following your army (plus taking care of bunkers and turrets) wherever you go is just too nice. In any case, I think on this mission it's best to skip the Dragoon / Stalker tier altogether: the former are too slow, and the later require some micro to be efficient.
You can take out the Taldarim base so you won't have to deal 2 attacks from both sides. DT's can blitz base defenses with their ability. then the rest of your army can deal with the rest.
I like that when we first met Karax, you could see that his nerve cords were severed, but now he has some dread locks that replace where his nerve cords used to be. New hands and new protoss hair, Karax is a hell of an engineer and barber apparently😎 Edit: again: i hate the sound animation for the energizers, its so gross.
5:20 Ooof, you've got it all wrong. The issue with Fenix is not that he's not his original self. The issue is that he believes he's been turn into a Dragoon, when in fact he is a Purifier... Dragoon or Purifier, he's still a copy after his original body/mind.
2:50 just a minor misundestood here - Fenix Brain was copied, downloaded into this Purifier prototype by Aldaris and his scientists in Glacius. The only thing Karax did in this case is just press the ON/OFF button of this machinery and find out that, indeed, the Fenix personality was placed there
17:23 i swear i thought artanis' dialogue line said "f**k, you appear distressed" Edit: also, its weird that the protoss, and their lack of orifices, talk through their thoughts or telepathy or whatever yet they still move there heads and have the same body language when they communicate just like humans do when they use those darned orifices.
"Fenix, you seems distressed." "How did you know there is no emotions on me face." Also I think the only thing we will never know as a specie is that if we know everything there is to know. And that's also why we will never know everything there is to know.
Tip: Remember to check the units you've just unlocked in the armory panel as most have abilities not usable in the mission you unlock them in. For example: You unlock phoenixes in this mission and they're basically MP phoenixes but in future missions phoenixes can lift two targets at once.
19:50 Or Artanis comes to xelnaga , turn on a massive alarm clock of some kind to awaken them and their reaction definitely coud be like "ugh turn it off! and give as a couple more centuries!" xDDDDDDDD .... And artanis gives a couple of sentry´s as a gift xD 8)
Sudden information about his true form might create shock or conflict within digital personality. I think it's quite nicely shown in 4th episode of 2nd season of Westworld.
2:50 thats not what they said though, they said it was a copy of Fenix personality profile, made into a synthetic AI. It's not Fenix in any way, its just a copy of his brain patterns / memories. The same way an AI avatar in The Sims isnt the real you. But yes, the OTHER protoss, like dragoons or merged archons, are indeed supposed to be the original conciousness in a new body. But yeah so this Fenix isnt Fenix at all, its a simulacrum.
If you like the idea of snapshots of people's minds, maybe you should do a playthrough of SOMA? It's a horror game, but super interesting in its themes
Lowko, Dragoon energiser and also you should watch this Netflix series called altered carbon. It's about downloading and transfering consciousness. You might like it.
Fenix : I WANT THE TRUTH
Artanis : YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH
Karax:"....that adenium shell tho..."
Why are you shouting?
"I am willing to face the truth, old friend, however difficult it may be"
Jim forgave the person that killed you, aldaris and billions of protoss lmao
You can add. "James raynor you great friend who swore to kill the queen of blades and avenge you forgave her due to power of love lmao 😂😂

This mission took me like 5 attempts on brutal. Any ground based composition just gets shredded cause they just throw units at you endlessly. Mass Phoenixes is the only way to go cause unlike multiplayer, they can lift and fire without channelling, so once you reach critical mass, every single enemy unit they send can actually be countered/lifted by the phoenix (but in normal circumstances phoenixes dont have much DPS so you wouldnt think they would work). Also since there actually arent that many buildings you have to destroy aside from a few bunkers and cannons.
i found easier to mass fenix/immortal/energizer army and wipe out two enemy bases.
It was easy to do phonix,zealot and Energizer
Yep, mass phoenix. You do need some ground troops, but 2 or 3 to 1 phoenix to immortal/zealot with about 4-6 energizers is ideal.
took me 3 tries with an all ground based army on brutal u just have to take out the two bases goo/stalker immortal dts u have to enter the terran base from the north east ramp rather than the south one once ur up there its easy to clear the protoss base is super easy to clear u enter from the south west entrance and move north in both areas u have to have quite a bit of antiair but dts will shred most of the troops allowing immortals to clean up and goons/stalkers are focus firing voids bcs and carriers
Also if u did shakuras, glacius then korhal "fenix" has some intresting voice lines
Dark templars, just disable their auto cast and use their hability manually, a bunch of dts deal more damage than a nuke and with a low cd
Fenix/Talandar: Hello there!
Artanis: Praetor Fenix!
Gemorge i love you
Artanis: You are a valiant one!
All I can picture is Fenix waking up and saying "Skippy! It's good to see you young executor!"
"Skippy?"
Oh and a little tip Lowko, make the units that you acquire for the specifik mission. They make missions in such a way that the units that you get for that mission are the best on that mission aswell.......
Fenix always wonders when he have time: I’m I a dragoon or a zealot?
Then he realized that he is a fucking helicopter (I'm not kidding look up his thunderous charge, he can fly)
He is no ordinary Helicopter
He is a Zealot-Dragoon-Helicopter!
So even in the times of the Protoss, we will still have apache helicopters.
Fuck yea.
queue dangerzone sound effect
Docta Fresh Zealoonicopter
he sexually identifies as an attack helicopter
So they essentially extended the joke with Fenix's name. He 'died' as a Zealot, reborn as a Dragoon, then died again. But was reborn, again, as a purifier Immortal-thing. IIRC, every time he died it was in a 'blaze of glory' too.
Edit: Oh right, well he died the first time under a blazing sun, so there we go.
Also, he sounds like Alarak.
The BroodWar background music during conversations caused me goosebumps of nostalgia constantly. Thumbs up for this, Lowko, from a Protoss main :D
This is not a Lowko video. This guy is a replica of a real Lowko.
It is a Purifier version of Lowko. Don't you see the orange?
Love you Lowko! With mass fenix this mission is very easy... And if you have automated gas, you should build the 4 gasses at the beggining of the game. GG!
Fenix my boy! Oh it was so good to see him again. So many memories :`)

I have played these campaigns so many times yet watching @Lowko play them is more fun then playing them myself ever was. Please keep them coming
5:28 is the general premise of the game SOMA
Download brain and upload it something else ?
SOMA is right game where they doing that !
Or Portal with GLADOS :D
Is it only me or does the energizer sound cooler than the regular sentry? The same goes for the purifier colossus and wrathwalker they sound so cool.
Because it is quite literally a weaponized and militarized Energizer battery?
It's basically a moving pylon. sentry is a moving shield battery. wrathwalkers are cool.
fun thing is some of the protoss from campaign are the champion personalities in co-op, notably talis from the prologue is the champion adept
unlike co-op though 90% of the lotv missions have their waves created from their bases rather than just spawned, this means killing an enemy base results in no more attack waves from there
Lowko pondering the ramifications of personality downloading.
Have you forgotten SOMA, Lowko? Have you blocked it from your memories?
The moment that someone has their brain copied to an AI computer, successfully, will immediately realize they are now sitting there old and dying still, just with a robot next to them saying 'sup bro'
47:08 Not only do they lift automatically, they lift two units at once AND they can attack their own lifted target! Campaign phoenixes are insane.

That classic StarCraft music in the background... makes me want to play it a 3rd time in the same span of a month.
Hey Lowko, when you were talking about the concept of downloading a person's brain and transferring it to another body I thought about a game I played a while ago called SOMA. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's made by Paradox Interactive, the people who made Amnesia. It's an atmospheric horror game which explores this concept, maybe if you have some free time you could think about playing it, it's only about 8-10 hours long. Thanks again for the videos, they're great!
5:50 - Lowko, you just described the game Soma. Give it a try sometime.
@LowkoTV, I think you can use Energizers to speed up your turrets too
19:48 - 20:05 Good call out, never thought of how flawed this plan was lol
If you do the Glacius mission before the Korhal one, Fenix will say he doesn't remember Raynor, but he can see why Raynor was his friend.
Actually Artanis explains that he used to call Raynor friend and they had stood shoulder to shoulder on the battlefield before, Fenix then hopes that he'll do so again in the future.
at 34:42 ,damnit Lowko,you chose a terrible spot to use time stop there
5:48
That idea was used in movies for sure. I know that there is a n anime with that idea. "A Certain Scientific Railgun"
Watch it if you want.
3:26 Lowko, on the solar core screen, let it sit for a really long time. There's a probe that comes to Karax to get fixed I think 3 times. I'd like to see that in the next video, because off Karax's comments on it if nothing else.
For those who don't know what the Ihan-rii are: the Ihan-rii is the name the Protoss called the Xell'nagha before they found out what their actual name was. Rohana knows that because she is a Preserver. The Protoss called the Xell'nagha the Ihan-rii since they found out they existed. That was way back when the Protoss lived in tribes and didn't even know how to write. They found out that the Ihan-rii were actually called Xell'nagha about a hundred years before the creation of the Khalla.
Hey Lowko if you are interested more in the download of memories and sticking them in another body i would suggest you read the Bobiverse series by Dennis E. Taylor. The series is about a person being downloaded and then waking up a thousand years later as an ai.
No Lowko its not really Fenix, its a different warrior that just caries Fenix's memories...
When u have automated refineries, it's best to just get them asap, so u can make ur gas for the duration of the mission as it doesnt run out
5:30
Lowko, that is the plot of "SOMA"
the energizer also effect static defense
so you can just warp in one and use it as pylon
“What makes you , you ?”
Interesting thought experiment
Sentinels and engizers are super op! the third immortal is insane too.
In this mission i crushed one enemy base, of course it was hard on brutal, but you get rid of half of the attack waves.
The xel'naga didnt want to be because a loooong time ago, both zerg and protos rebelled against them and they have been killed.
In terms of the mind if you were to transplant a copy of your mind into another body and your original were to die or become deceased by whatever means meaning all electrical brain activity stopped and such. Then your conscious goes with it, your mind doesnt just magically transfer over to the copy. Your copy would do things you would do but you yourself won't be making those decisions. It's a very complicated thing to explain...
That was an amazing comeback. Way to adapt.
30 sentries + 60 phoenixes can dispatch anything on this mission, and that still leaves 50 supply for probes. I guess it should also be doable with energizers, but having a bunch of shield batteries following your army (plus taking care of bunkers and turrets) wherever you go is just too nice. In any case, I think on this mission it's best to skip the Dragoon / Stalker tier altogether: the former are too slow, and the later require some micro to be efficient.
There is a TV show called "altered carbon" from Netflix, that works with this ideal, that we can upload our minds and just change the body.
Lowko if you like the mind experiment you may want to check out the game Soma. It dives into the concept in a pretty cool and interesting way.
Downloading minds is a theme for a series called Black Mirror, you should see it.
Lowko
You should try An Energyzer + Canons + A Battery. The defending is insane.
You can take out the Taldarim base so you won't have to deal 2 attacks from both sides. DT's can blitz base defenses with their ability. then the rest of your army can deal with the rest.
You should play Soma Lowko, its basically Fenix backstory with horror/rpg elements
49:47 offensive GG by Lowko!
I like that when we first met Karax, you could see that his nerve cords were severed, but now he has some dread locks that replace where his nerve cords used to be. New hands and new protoss hair, Karax is a hell of an engineer and barber apparently😎
Edit: again: i hate the sound animation for the energizers, its so gross.
5:30 Lowko should watch Altered Carbon
You should have leave one energizer in mineral line XD it may not be more efficjent but fun for shure
About that “download brain data and in 200 years you wake up.” There is a game based around that called Soma. Horror game. You should check it out.
5:20 Ooof, you've got it all wrong. The issue with Fenix is not that he's not his original self. The issue is that he believes he's been turn into a Dragoon, when in fact he is a Purifier...
Dragoon or Purifier, he's still a copy after his original body/mind.
2:50 just a minor misundestood here - Fenix Brain was copied, downloaded into this Purifier prototype by Aldaris and his scientists in Glacius. The only thing Karax did in this case is just press the ON/OFF button of this machinery and find out that, indeed, the Fenix personality was placed there
49:52
That's such BM, Lowko... You didn't even capitalize the "A" on Amon's name.
17:23 i swear i thought artanis' dialogue line said "f**k, you appear distressed"
Edit: also, its weird that the protoss, and their lack of orifices, talk through their thoughts or telepathy or whatever yet they still move there heads and have the same body language when they communicate just like humans do when they use those darned orifices.
The "download brain/consciousness into another body" is explored in the series Alterate Carbon
God I want to be used as a personality for AI, 500 years in the future.
ITS MONDAY MY DUDES
"Fenix, you seems distressed."
"How did you know there is no emotions on me face."
Also I think the only thing we will never know as a specie is that if we know everything there is to know.
And that's also why we will never know everything there is to know.
Tip: Remember to check the units you've just unlocked in the armory panel as most have abilities not usable in the mission you unlock them in. For example: You unlock phoenixes in this mission and they're basically MP phoenixes but in future missions phoenixes can lift two targets at once.
19:50 Or Artanis comes to xelnaga , turn on a massive alarm clock of some kind to awaken them and their reaction definitely coud be like "ugh turn it off! and give as a couple more centuries!" xDDDDDDDD .... And artanis gives a couple of sentry´s as a gift xD 8)
Yes, of course he is Fenix, the best one! ^^
My finals tomorrow lowko... i guess theres always time for your content
In the solar core cut scene Karax still has his nerve cords! Amon spy.
Sudden information about his true form might create shock or conflict within digital personality. I think it's quite nicely shown in 4th episode of 2nd season of Westworld.
Lowko just referenced the entire premise of the Altered Carbon series
I find it amusing to watch Fenix dance during conversations
2:50 thats not what they said though, they said it was a copy of Fenix personality profile, made into a synthetic AI.
It's not Fenix in any way, its just a copy of his brain patterns / memories.
The same way an AI avatar in The Sims isnt the real you.
But yes, the OTHER protoss, like dragoons or merged archons, are indeed supposed to be the original conciousness in a new body.
But yeah so this Fenix isnt Fenix at all, its a simulacrum.
If you like the idea of snapshots of people's minds, maybe you should do a playthrough of SOMA? It's a horror game, but super interesting in its themes
Lowko, Dragoon energiser and also you should watch this Netflix series called altered carbon. It's about downloading and transfering consciousness. You might like it.
What is fenix’s favourite troop?
The Phoenix
(sorry not sorry)
:l
very punny
Boo I say, Boo
Oh...
Dr. Pyxel nah, observers :D
