Sister Psyche is dead too? :O Maybe she will go in Aurora Borealis body, just like Mother Mayhem did... Is this in the second VIP mission Arc? I wonder if they are planing on killing the whole Freedom Phalanx team and let us take their place. =P That would be kinda sad.

I don't think they're going to kill them all.


to TO THE END!

Sister Psyche dies in part 6 of the first arc.

I wouldn't want to bring that side of things into it. Trying to keep things within the bounds of the game. If a great hero like Statesman falls, it seems the thing to do in Paragon City is to raise a statue in their honour. It would be pretty out of tradition not to really.

I'd like to see that too. I think a lot of us would. I'll take Golden Girl's winky as a hint that she's heard something positive in that department.

A reply to my enquiry to Zwilinger on the subject has revealed that they have no plans to remove the bio's of States or Sister Psyche for many reasons, chief among them being their place in game lore. They may at some point update them to reflect their current standing but that's yet to be determined.

Thanks for the info Z!

Sam is 100% right.. and don't forget that just becasue neither States or Sis P is a contact and has a phsical presence in Paragon any longer.. Both still appear in the SSA Part 1 and there are story arcs still available through Ouroborus that involve one, the other or both. They are still a part of the game's lore and should remain so.

Aurora-psyche claims that Tilman pushed her out of her mind moments before getting skewered by Manticore. We all take it as a last heroic gesture on her part, but it might have been part of a plan - maybe she planted a mind-seed inside Tyrka's body or that Paragon Protector Aurora was possessing.

This makes sense, but at some point they need to start worrying about the chronology again. Maybe they have a plan to actually retcon States out or something and this is only the first step.

Plus they show up in the intro comic when you create a new toon - unless that's been redrawn to show Positron and Penny instead.

That's already covered - Statesman and Sister Psyche die sometime between the tutorial and the Penny Yin TF.
Players who want to see how it all unfolded can play the historical arc "Who Will Die", which portrays the events surrounding this crucial moment in the history of Paragon City.

Or Sister Psyche shoved Aurora out of her head to cover her tracks as she hopped in someone's body. Manticore is a likely target since she's hopped in his head at least once in the comics. It would make Penny's actions in the first episode of SSA 2 be less of a bratty little girl moment and more trying to find out what happened for sure.
