Imagine what else he might have up his sleeves. And that's just the stuff we've gotten to witness thus far. What exactly is the inner workings of a "resonance-based entity"? As a separate entity, does it have feelings? Thoughs? Ideas? The Hiss is also a resonance-based entity, and from what I've observed, their behavior seems to mirror that of the individual that they've corrupted.Īs for Ahti, he seems like the individual that it would be the most impossible to corrupt! Consider his powers, for instance: Making elevators appear and disappear at will, assisting Jesse on her hero's journey and always having what she needs at hand, then there's the accidental creation of an Altered Item that occurred when Bureau Agents attempted to film Ahti in secret. There is also the question of how much Polaris is able to comprehend. She's been doing it for 17 years already, after all. Tough love is sometimes necessary, you know? Also, we don't know the toll it was taking on Polaris having to do all that hand-holding. Makes me wonder if Polaris deliberately decided to not intervene so as to force Jesse to understand the amazing power she actually possesses on her own, and become brave enough to trust Polaris to let her all the way in. It seems to me that Polaris was holding Jesse's hand up till this point The first encounter with the Hiss shows Jesse chanceless against the assault, and Polaris being forced to intervene and keeping the Hiss off her ass up until the Hedron Chamber incident. Around one constant, they revolve."Īnd that's when Jesse finally lets Polaris in, all the way, and they become one force as opposed to two separate forces. Then at the end of the Nightmare sequence, the Jesse Polaris enlightenment: There is plenty of evidence of this through the main game, it even starts off with Jesse talking to Polaris about shutting her out, and deliberately doing so. Prior to the Nightmare sequence, she had been pushing Polaris away, seemingly afraid to let her guard down and let Polaris in. Obviously, the resonance produced by by Polaris presence is what Keeps the Hiss at bay, but the choice to tell the Board to get fucked? That was all Director Faden! So the Board has clearly not managed to corrupt her with the temptation of power and shiny powerful things like they managed to do with Northmoor and Trench.īut then again, I believe that it's important to distinguish between Jesse and Polaris vs Jesse Polaris. He also became a victim of the corrupting nature that power appears to have, so it makes sense that he would be a target for Hiss corruption as well.Īs for Hartman, he's like the personification of desiring power, so the Hiss had no issues taking over that fucker, I imagine.ĭirector Faden is incorruptible, but I don't think Polaris is the whole answer to that one. Consider Trench who stated that he was never after power, and only made the choice to pick up the Service Weapon because there were no other candidates. What I've been wondering about is if it has something to do with an individual's ability to be corrupted.
