#meanwhile other Artixs live in fantasy worlds and can just Show Up With An Axe And Kill Things

I know I’ve yelled about MQ!Artix’s unexplained excellent espionage skills before but I was checking the forum entries for Romero stuff and have been reminded about this dialogue that Helia has in the BioEngineering Room during the plot:

Nurse Helia: In order to study this zombie virus in depth, I'll need a good variety of blood and tissue samples. Nurse Helia: Luckily, Artix managed to tap into the Romero security communications. As soon as they hear about another victim, we'll hear about it too.

So MQ!Artix is also a skilled hacker and I think we can also file this quite firmly under the Has Espionage Skills umbrella

#mechquest #artix von krieger #also I think I've thought of a possible explanation for why MQ Artix has espionage skills that no other version of him really does #and it's sad but not in a sad way more of an exhausting way #I think it's because MQ Artix is the only one who really NEEDS them #MQ Artix lives in a futuristic sci-fi world where capitalism exists and undeath-as-a-bioweapon is an EXISTING CONCEPT #Planetary governments and corruption thereof exist #MQ Artix HAD to develop espionage skills to get around surveillance and corruption and etc that would get in the way of his mission #meanwhile other Artixs live in fantasy worlds and can just Show Up With An Axe And Kill Things #such as this very example of tapping into Romero's security communications to track the zombie outbreak #they don't NEED to be sneaky
