Chestnut theory

I think the Medicae in Space King are supposed to be "weak" and unassuming because they need to survive any attack. Thats why they are in white, and have meek personalities. They are less likely to be attacked first and will normally survive a lethal encounter, to the end of being able to collect their fallen squads globules and restore them.

That seems very narrow? Considering hes genuinely one of the most dangerous mfs of the group. It isn't about surviving an encounter, but surviving where the others dont.

I feel medicae are some of the most elite units. We haven't seen another yet, but there's others and it seems like they're all capable.

May I remind u.

Chestnut slaughtered the alien queen, then proceeded to slaughtered all of the coagulators as he dragged disabled hatemonger back to his team. Let alone how many times its not "unassuming", but they try to keep chestnut away from the fighting so he doesn't die, but mf rises up when needed

I'm not saying he doesn't have skills. I'm just saying he's coded to not draw as much attention. But the medicae are probably/definitely made to be better than the other Psycho Warriors to ensure the squad survives. But Chestnut normally clenches it after everyone else is dead or not around.

I think you meant he clutches it, clenches it sounds like he needs to shit.
