Speaking about the Jaguar troops taking Marine hostage battle, I still think it is stupid that using Mashu and Harbot is considered out, considering how Harbot is with us in narrative and thus shouldn't be count as summoned stands.

Fujimaru's party is riding Wak Chan, who runs as fast as he can to get them to the Storm Boarder's landing site. Olga checks the Storm Boarder, notices there are more than the 12 people Fujimaru mentioned, including some corpses, and tries to go there ahead of the rest of the group. Fujimaru stops her because she can't meet Goredolf before he's properly informed. We get there and find all the dead bodies.

While we were distracted fighting the Ocelomeh, Izcalli took Marine hostage at gunpoint. Izcalli introduces himself as the king of Mexico City and asks for Fujimaru's name in return.
Izcalli introduces himself as the king of Mexico City and asks for Fujimaru's name in return, but Fujimaru refuses to say it. Izcalli is overjoyed to get no respect because he didn't want to respect us either and only asked their name because Tezcatlipoca's law demands it. If Fujimaru summons a Servant, Izcalli shoots Marine dead, but if the team wins the fight without a summon, he'll free him.

If you don't solo Mash
If you solo with Mash
Olga flashbacks to her previous conversations with Marine. Marine is very efficiently building a cottage while Olga comments on how valuable his presence is. Marine re-explains the Nemo Series mechanism, reinforcing how important it is that the Marines are completely replaceable. As long as Captain is alive, he can be revived. They're all copies, so that new Marine will be unarguably the one Marine she knows. As such, he says he wouldn't mind dying as he won't be truly dead or forgotten so long as there are other Marines alive. However, his brain wave color tells Olga that he was lying. They're not 100% identical. Our Marine was more of a crybaby than the group standard, which only became exacerbated after being separated from the group removed his need to keep a brave face in front of the other Marines. Marine was her first supporter since she lost everything but her name. They promised to save Earth together. He was weak but remarkably skilled in his recon, cleaning, construction, and transport roles. He loved Olga's sense of responsibility. He understood her as someone who hates being the only one doing all the work but doesn't run away from what she can and should do. So he promised he wouldn't let himself be a burden to her.
In the present, Izcalli feels everyone's anger and comments about how normal humans are in the wrong for treating death with sorrow and rage.
After the speech is over, Olga swiftly annihilates Izcalli's entire squad of Ocelomeh.Originally Posted by Izcalli
As Izcalli's body crumbles, he questions why he lost when he is on the morally correct side of the conflict. Olga then apologizes for that excessive violence so unbefitting of the one who rules the planet. The team discusses Marine's eventual return, showing that Olga is the only one aware that her crybaby Marine was lying about Captain being able to revive him specifically. She thinks about how absurd it was for someone with such a strong heart to call himself weak.Pathetic. Are you done making your pitch, human? Then die! If you so wish to die by the hands of a god, I will comply!
After Izcalli is fully dealt with, the party enters the Boarder and sees the bloody scene of the tragedy. Tepeu feels like he should have died instead of Marine. The Marines on board confirm Fujimaru and Mash's presence and call for Goredolf. Meuniere aside, the staff is unharmed. Flashback to how they were saved.
Despite the damage caused, Goredolf tries to negotiate peace with Izcalli, in an attempt to solve matters quickly so Meuniere could be carried to the medical bay as soon as possible. Izcalli is having none of this, so all Ocelomeh train their gun on the director. Since Goredolf is about to die, Koyanskaya summons her Light version to his location and outguns the Ocelotl firearms. All the blood and flesh in the hallways is Koyan's doing. By the way, she only knew Chaldea was in danger because, even after all this time, Goredolf was still carrying her lipstick around, having felt it impossible to throw away.
Headcount in the ship: 8 staff members, Goredolf, 11 Marines, 4 other Nemos, Nitocris (almost dead), and Koyanskaya. 26 people. The 12 Olga counted before were 9 people and 3 Servants (counting the whole Nemo Series as 1 Servant). But after the whole situation with the one Marine, Olga can no longer see them as the same individual.
Fujimaru is glad Goredolf is grouped with Koyanskaya because that makes it a lot easier for them to justify being grouped with Rasputin and Olga Marie. Goredolf takes the Rasputin part in stride, he always thought Rasputin was the only reasonable Apostle, but Olga is a bit too much for him to accept. Olga can see from Goredolf's mind color that he won't trust her and won't be her friend, so the Directors start arguing with each other. In a slip of the tongue, Goredolf says "who do you think knocked the ship down?" and Olga demands an answer because she wants to make the culprit pay. Since Goredolf refuses to tell, Kotomine proposes earning Chaldea's trust by healing Meuniere with the power of Bahloo the Moon, an Elemental he has as one of his High-Servant components. Goredolf finally accepts Olga into Chaldea since that's what it takes to get Meuniere saved.
Meuniere is back to life. He asks Fujimaru and Mash not to blame themselves. The staff's creed ever since the Romani days was to allow Fujimaru to return to their original home one day, and he doesn't want them to come back depressed. That was what motivated the whole staff to keep on going. They were all people of different races, professions, and often opposing Clock Tower factions, but their shared pride in supporting Mash and Fujimaru brought them together.
Goredolf sends Mash, Fujimaru, Habetrot, Tepeu, Olga, Kotomine, and Koyanskaya to rescue da Vinci, Sion, Kadoc, and Nemo in Mexico City. Wak Chan will stay behind as the Boarder's guard, as much as he'd prefer to go with Olga. Before leaving, Koyanskaya asks about Fou. No one knows where he is. Fujimaru thought he was with Goredolf and Goredolf thought he was with Fujimaru. This ruins Koyanskaya's plan to take some Fou fur, but she knows Fou well enough to figure out he's trying to keep away from ORT. Koyanskaya's guess is that Fou is chasing tumbleweeds on the surface and will only come back after the Lostbelt is destroyed.
Meanwhile, Nemo Professor teaches Tepeu the spell necessary to reboot the frozen Captain. He's clearly still not over Marine's death, despite how the others do indeed seem identical to him. Olga already fulfilled her promise of bringing Fujimaru and Mash to the Boarder, but she can tell they still need her help, so as much as she dislikes Goredolf, she'll be joining the rescue mission. The Alien Priestess watches this decision take place.

I'm talkin OG Koyan here. Also never said anything about getting married.
Edit: Also it really does show how quickly the fake out massacre goes in that summary, though Marine's seems pretty well done especially with how it affects Olga.

Oh I hadn't even thought about where Fou is in all this. That's very interesting. Does he pop up at all before the time lock?
It almost parallels to Eresh's character there.
So Goredolf didn't notice Luminary Kuku? Olga did attempt the deed, but she didn't get the chance to do it.

A battle between Crypters, with the winning Lostbelt overtake the world.
Wait if the Koyan summoned isn't Chaldea's then that makes a future scene with her comments to Beni strange, unless the Chaldea one's memories went to her Beast self like a pseudo Throne of Heroes.
RIP Marine. Gone, but not forgotten.
Olga really revoked Izcalli's living privileges. We should be glad it ended at that, and not chucking black holes around.
Technically not Olga.Goredolf says "who do you think knocked the ship down?"
Wow. they actully gave us option not to act like a little goody-two-shoes for once. Colour me impressed. I know this is basically MC's entire thing, but it really gets annoying sometimes.
Also, Goredolf, maybe it isn't the best idea to antagonize the person who you think shot the ship down. Weren't you the one who brought Caenis to our side?
Gordy just scared that we won't have use for him now that President is back.
Guda: Oh, you teamed up with one of our heretofore enemies? Well that makes this easier to explain
Do the Ocelomeh have any sort of connection with ocelots? Just wondering if I should be expecting a "you're pretty good" and spinning revolvers at some point.
I think the word ocelot is derived from ocelomeh, which means jaguar.
The irony of how the Jaguars are acting like the conquistadors in relation to the dinosaurs natives here.
The first part was actually something I was thinking may be the case, but was not sure. Cool fact to know!
Speaking of Jaguars, surprised still no Taiga at all. Maybe she'll be the last light hearted part for part 2 before it goes complete serious.
my only nitpick for Ocelotl is none of them using revolver gun for obvious reference.
Tepeu makes that comparison directly after we explain Cortes to him.
I wonder if the current king of the Jaguars is actually Moctezuma II, deciding to try something else considered how he failed in life.
Lasengle couldn't animate idle sprites revolving guns, please understand.
She's here in spirit.

Fair enough I suppose.
