What if Astartes but about NCR's capture of HELIOS One?

(okay, it's nowhere near Astartes but still cool)

The action begins:
Is it over for the NCR bros?

Second wave:

When all else fails:

Getting tactical :obviously:

I'm not sure those jetpacks are canon.

NCR BERSERKERS. Yeah that's definitely not canon. :lol:
Entire series is just nonsense.

The nonsense continues:

The Brotherhood reaches its breaking point:

A breather episode of sorts as the Brotherhood retreats to HELIOS One for their last stand:

Pretty sure "space particles" has always been a humorous euphemism for random bit flips even if most of them probably have more benign causes - at least that's how my Uni professors used it.

There was one time where I got a couple of surprise ECC errors on my PC and later found out that there was a solar flare that day though…

Yeah, 99.9% of the time its an intermittent hardware issue. I highly doubt this is what happened in some speedrun, the odds are 1 in millions that it affects the one bit that lets them skip something rather than all of the others of millions of bits in memory, and it also happened during the exact moment that it helps the player rather than any other time.

You have ECC RAM in your home PC?

Pannen may be autistic but the bit did not randomly flip. For every time this happened there would be millions of other instances in which a different bit flipped that would crash the system.

It's exponentially more obviously the wrong explanation if the bit has to flip at the exact instant he was at that position as opposed to being a persistent flip that would be active all run. E.g. how many runs do you see where Mario runs faster because a bit flipped on his max_speed variable? None? That's still vastly more likely than this perfectly timed bit flip
