He's gonna change her like a remix, then he'll raise her like a phoenix

(For a second, there's a certain gathering tension in the network. Both bewilderment and fear. It comes to a head in a single, piercing telepathic cry, not quite a scream, over the network.)

Oh my GOD, what did I DO!?

Oh my god I nearly killed Hebe! Is - was Hebe one of ours?! Was Atlas? Athena? Nike?! Kallias!? The manticore!? Doctor whatsisname was definitely one of ours but I just -

Oh god oh god please tell me I didn't kill any of ours.

...Yeah.

I wish... I really hope being orphaned isn't a running theme with my Infiltrations. That's not something anyone else needs to go through, and it's... bloodthirsty Spartan stuff aside, it freaks me out that what happened to her parents was as close to what happened to mine as you were gonna get in Legendary Greece.

You might have to get used to that. Chariot told me we possess the people most like us. I think what our Overlays have been through in the past is a big part of that. Most of the people I've Infiltrated as have been orphans too. Or they might as well have been.

At least that's better than being somebody that still has a loving parent. Even if you think you want that at first, when it finally happens it just reminds you how much has been stolen from you.
