Gcat doesn't want post-scratch John alive.
Nothing is going to go wrong without the prototyping seeing as how they'll already have prototyped x2 kernel sprites when john and the rest arrive. which is why they actually cant prototype. The medium already planned for it by removing the orbs on the king and queens rings and the towers on derse and prospit
Does that mean the A1 session didn't prototype, or at least not entirely, since A2 was able to? Aradia was at least able to 2x prototype.
Without those orbs, though, how is the session connected to the prototypes of B1? And why is the kernelsprite there if it supposedly can't be prototyped? It would make more sense to retain those orbs and not have the sprite, right?
