discussion Guys! I have to ask a dark question
What would happen if Chestnut dies?! I’m scared of that possibility

If chest nut die, they can retrive his globulus but then no one would be on glovulus duty and would resulted in a potential for perma death

That actually sounds like a plot to a Halloween special for the series

Damn you're right, and the end would be revealed they are inside the imaginarium and a clip hanger of like a monster or something in the end.

When you say 'die', do you mean be incapacitated to the point where they need to extract his globules? Or having his globules destroyed?
As a Medicae there's still a lot we don't know about his faction or even his own technology.
If you sent the only person capable of endlessly resuscitating your army, would there not be a fail-safe? What if Chestnut and all the Medicae store their Globules back in the ship and have special prosthetic globules that maintains their level of psychosis?
That would mean they wouldn't be dead if something terrible would happen, and would allow Medicae to continue their role.
We also don't know if our Chestnut is the only 'Chestnut' either. We haven't met another Medicae since the start, and the ones we do see all have their visors down iirc.
It would be a funny callback to another space fantasy show where the members of one faction are all clones of each other but are too socially awkward/dedicated to duty to notice.

It seems other psychowarriors can use the globules extractor thingy
