Lady Prometheus uses the newly installed SPARKIE system to inspect (spy on) her subjects, but an unfamiliar Insektor catches her attention. See, Prometheus has spent the past 29 years of her life stuck in the same Fightermite chamber and hasn't seen the outside world since she was 20 years old. Not because she's a criminal, but because she's a termite queen (she isn't called 'Queen Prometheus' because Bakrakra wanted to be the only Queen in Krud City, so forbid Prometheus from assuming the title & labeled her 'Lady' instead)... so she's effectively immobile. Like being chained to a stone, if you will! So for nearly 3 decades she's only had her husband and the other Fightermites under her authority to talk to about the outside world, and SPARKIE has been enlightening to her! Her wide-eyed stare can be frightening, but she's actually very curious and intrigued right now! Though...
If you've seen SPARKIE and Co, you know how this ends... she does NOT get to keep SPARKIE because it malfunctions when Fulgor colors one of its data cards. Fulgor couldn't have known about Prometheus' existence as he's never seen her in his entire life, but the rest of Krud City is at least dimly aware of her... Synapse and Krabo know her particularly well. The removal of SPARKIE from her room will prove to be particularly disastrous I think, because she was given a glimpse of the outside world only for it to be ripped away immediately. Fortunately for Prometheus, Fightermite Monarchy is only a 30 year job, and she's going to be out of it when she turns 50. She's not sure what she'll do then, but she can promise there will be blood... er... hemolymph? And it won't be hers that's shed!
So say hi to Prometheus! She's one of my fav designs which is insane because Termites r one of my least fav bugs!! I think they are very scary and that's why Prometheus is a scary villain! I'm very excited abt her because I think she is very sympathetic but can also be very menacing and isn't rlly emotionally connected to the Krud cause, I think she has a greater revenge drive than even Krabo. Lots of pent up anger! So she's scary to the Verigreens and also scary to the Kruds! But to me she is a funny blorbo. I like her a lot LOL. I am rotating her in my mind. I dont think she's irredeemable or unreasonable (unlike SOMEONE) but she has very tough walls she built for herself! It will take a lot to break through.
Of the group Pyro is the only one who would think the law is immovable. I’ll be going into their jobs a bit to explain a little better!
Pyro sees them as immovable. Since he often works as a healer hed lose his job if he didn't. And since he enjoys being a healer he's willing to follow laws, even if he finds then kinda stupid
Sparkie definitely sees law as flexible. He'll pick and choose which ones he'll follow. Spoiler Alert, it's very little. His job doesn't require him to follow laws, so why should he care? Lose job? Keep it? Whatever
Rainbow hates following laws. In their guild they would be considered an A tier bodyguard almost S tier. So their kinda see themselves as above the law. They'll deal with some laws, but vast majority have been thrown out the window.
Kai has never followed a law once in his life. As an assassin for hire his entire job basically is a huge screw you to the law.
securitywaiter headcanons bc i found out about this ship an hour ago and i'm already too deep into it
-generally agreed upon but ness is DEFINITELY a conspiracy theorist. i think he was into conspiracys since he was younger, starting off with more silly ones like birds aren't real and the moon landing is fake and then getting into deeper ones with maybe a bit of a lean towards true crime. then when the local pizzeria had missing children well...
-mike takes abby to the diner for her birthday bc what can u do in a small town! they give a free slice of cake for birthdays and have the workers come around your table to sing except ness is the only one to genuinely enjoy singing it and he's also arguably got the best voice out of all the workers (or at least he does in mike's opinion)
-abby ships it. yknow how little kids are almost too observant and then proceed to say the most cryptid things?? yeah, she notices mike smiling and making more small talk with ness than with any other waiter they get and suddenly shes playing matchmaker
i'll probably have more once i let them microwave in my head a bit
