The comparison between the original Fallen S.A.B.E.R. strike and its later iterations — the same bones in different configurations, the same SIVA threat approached with different tools across different points in the Guardian's development. Fear of what can't be controlled is the Fallen's consistent relationship to the Guardian: the House of Devils' attempts to weaponize SIVA were always partially driven by the recognition that Guardians represent a force the faction cannot predict or manage. The comparison documents how that force changes while the fear of it stays consistent.
