So! Riddick will remember that there was a god-king called Malion The Protector, that everyone gave psychic energy to the Overmind when they were slept and that they could be tracked or 'adjusted' by the Overmind's right-think; that there were rebels, that there were cthonic kaiju called Nation Eaters, but the Travelers only encountered a single small one (under two hundred feet!).

The soil quality was much better back then.

Also, the pivotal conflict was over the possession of psychic crystal WMDs called 'hellstones' and the Travelers were uncomfortably with either the god-king or the Rebels getting hold of them. What's worse, the Overmind, or the loss of all technology and all defense against Nation Eaters? Travelers as a group declined to make a choice, although individuals may still have gotten involved. Remy definitely still got involved

Fun!

Would he remember what they might have done to, uh, earn the statues?

There was definitely a discussion of attempting to kill Protector Malion; whether he would have gone in on that attempt or not is player judgment; and if said attempt succeeded , if so, is still a hazier memory.

But really, if he fought for the Rebels at all, even at the beginning of the Jaunt (even if what he really did was stab a Protectorate goon trying to read his mind, with no Rebellion in mind at all), and especially if he had any degree of psychic protection, he could have earned the Rebels' admiration.

Hey, so, in light of the whole "there's a missing hellstone" thing, Riddick is going to do a mind palace reconstruction of the attack on Malion (decided that he was in on it cuz hey, killing authority figures, he's done that a handful of times now). Will he spot anyone out of place or running off to go steal a hellstone? Allura is invited, and as an infiltrator at the time (mun is p sure anyway?) she might have a better idea of who was supposed to be where.

Oh, it was definitely Remy. He was properly sneaky about it, but re-examining the memories, he's the one who vanished there and didn't re-appear in Liminal Space until after the full-on Traveler strike had begun.
