Call me a sentimental old fool, but I reckon it's the closest thing our broken down old Ulysses was ever gonna get. Sleep well, friend.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comSunrise - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | Would it have worked? Could such a simple thing have spurred a broken, crushed society to revolution? It's just as well Ulysses never found the answer.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTorn Suits - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | The real question is why they didn't just gang up on Orpheus, who was clearly the weakest. Who knows? Maybe it would have taken more trust than they had left. Maybe Orpheus' song had moved them. Maybe Orpheus had brought the biggest gun.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comThe Daidala - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | Does Daedalus ever think about Icarus, and the look on his face as he plunged from his father's penthouse suites? All the sacrifices made to get to this point. If it plays on his mind, he doesn't show it. Never seen a poker face better than Daedalus.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTies That Bind - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | In the early days of the Acheron, they needed minds more quickly than they were coming naturally. So they came up with a more... pro-active collecting system. Unfortunately The Minotaur kept going after the Acheron was up and running. At least until the whole messy scandal came out.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTrial by Love - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | The real problem is that the payment for the Ulysses job is just money. And if there's one thing that you're not gonna sacrifice your life for, it's money. Won't do you much good in the Acheron.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comUnderworld Blues - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | Everyone wants something: forgetfulness, redemption, love. Sure, Hades can source that sort of thing for you -- Ashes is our Quartermaster, after all. You've just got to make sure you're willing to pay what they're asking.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comHades - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | We all had fun in The City. It wasn't just murder, although nothing else springs to mind. Thinking about it, don't reckon Raphaella murdered all that many people, it's just that a lot of her victims wished they were dead.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTrial by Song - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | They say Orpheus' music could melt the heart of all who heard it. Maybe if it could melt metal too, this whole affair would have gone a lot smoother. You work with what you've got.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comLoose Threads - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | It's always an issue when you don't get on with your co-workers. Tensions in the workplace can create the sort of bad atmosphere that really affects productivity. The Fleece Job wasn't exactly the best team-building exercise.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comFavoured Son - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | You may think you've got daddy issues, but have you ever spent the better part of a century being complicit in his attempts to kill you? Didn't think so.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTrial by Strength - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | The whole trials thing was a nice idea, but would it have killed Ulysses to be a bit less literal with them? Guess when it came to design, they were an engineer, not an artist.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comSirens - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-29 | Sex, drink, drugs: the three beautiful faces of oblivion. Still can't really kill the memories, of course. Maybe part of Ulysses wanted to remember. Needed to remember. Even if no-one else cared.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comUlysses Will - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Why'd Ulysses write it all out? Reveal their most treasured secret? Who the hell knows. Sure, they didn't think it'd be found until after they'd taken the big sleep. Things never go smooth.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comRiddle of the Sphinx - Ulysses Dies at Dawn -The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Horrible disease. Luckily it only affects kids, so at least there's that. In many ways it makes it worse, of course. On the bright side, some of those kids would have grown up to be assholes.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comTrial by Wits - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Smart motherfucker, that one, and a good choice for the door. Still, people with nothing to lose aren't always reliable for this kind of job. We'll see.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comMy Name is No One - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Stupid plan really, but it worked. Left scars, though. The kind of scars that stay around, and not just on your skins. Probably not worth it, diamond or no diamond.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comOlympians - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Rich assholes. You can go anywhere in the universe, but they never change. Sure, the Olympians run all the rackets and live damn near forever but, hell, that's not so impressive.

By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comBroken Horses - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Ilium was beautiful once. Not for twenty years, though. Not after Ulysses was done with the place. Sure, they feel pretty rotten about it, but tears don't mean shit to the dead. Neither does drinking, but that won't stop 'em doing either.
By The Mechanisms themechanisms.comThe City - Ulysses Dies at Dawn - The MechanismsThe Mechanisms2013-09-28 | Ulysses is down on any luck they might've ever had, which isn't all that much. About to meet their end in the rusted depths of The City, surrounded by the Suits. Bad news, sure, but it's gonna get worse
