I didn't trigger it myself, but apparently if the carriage's health gets low enough it basically threatens emergency continuity with you as the new body.
Well it must at least be possible in theory as the older Grineer Queen tries it on the Operator in The War Within. I'm assuming she wouldn't have tried it if there had been a recorded attempt that failed. So either it's never been attempted or it has and it worked.
Possible future quest? Meeting a Tenno who was taken over by and Orokin?
If memory serves, the Voruna leverian entry specifically tells the story of an orokin who wanted to try to execute continuity with voruna's operator. Voruna arrived in the nick of time and stopped the ritual, instead taking the kuva onto herself, becoming one with her four wolves, hence voruna's gimmick.
Hidden leverian lore strikes again. NO ONE appreciates my boy Drusus, no wonder he went bankrupt.
Funny enough, Ballas was largely neutral on the peace treaty and was the deciding vote to sign it and then had to be convinced by Nitokh afterwards to go back on it.
True. Though I suspect, as has been suggested elsewhere, that this was also the opportunity Ballas wanted to try and force Margulis away from the Tenno.
With the blame for the failed treaty falling on our Tenno and Margulis' protection of them, it gives Ballas all he needs to set up the dilemma that kills Margulis (because he's so arrogant that he's genuinely surprised she'd rather protect the Tenno than save her own skin).
I think we will see more quests inside of the old peace. We barely dipped into the archon lore. We only saw Amar, but there is still Boreal, Nira, and Pazuul.
This, as well as seeing the MiTW's next move, will likely be coming in another quest.
Also, based on one sentence that Lotus said in the quest, I think we will find other sentients with the ability to heal. But that is probably unlikely as it's just one line of dialogue.
I think he was like "Tenno suck, I'll prove it and that an Orokin would use their power better!" and used his Anarch Dax forces to try to Continuity into us.
We just so happened to be the only valid Continuity target? Nothing Ballas does like this is accidental. We foil his plan to steal the Operator's body and I think that's what makes him pivot to destroying the Xenoflora.
No lie, I must have let the damn carriage blow up like five times before I locked in and finished the mission. I was like, "If the Orokin walkingbout of that coach is Ball-Ass, I'm gonna-"
When i heard that there was an escort mission for a VIP,i legit went "if its fucking Ballas,im gonna go apeshit"

I never felt the urge to tear someone to shreds inside a memory istfg

It's funny because during the mission I had a feeling I should let the carriage be destroyed
I didn't trigger it myself, but apparently if the carriage's health gets low enough it basically threatens emergency continuity with you as the new body.
I heard about that but I don't know what happens
Probably standard game over or mission retry.
But eternalism might mean somewhere out there is a version of Ballas wearing our body.
I heavily doubt it. If the Tenno failed to protect Ballas then it means the Anarchs overwhelmed Ballas and Tenno both.
I think they mean after
It does. Unrelated but that mission reminded me how to crowd manage with a bow that's not the Nataruk, Kuva Branma, or Lenz.
What would actually happen if someone tried continuity with a Tenno? Is such a thing ever mentioned?

It's been a while since I checked in with Drusus (not since the event I think?) so yeah I clean forgot about Voruna and her lore.
However that still means we don't really know if Continuity would work on an Operator or not, since the process was interrupted.
It doesn't end well for the Orokin desperate enough to try Continuity with a mind partially existing in the Void.
I love how ironic it all felt. Here we are, trying to make sure some rebels don't ruin the best chance we've ever gotten at achieving peace.
And then it turns out the guy they send to evaluate the treaty is the last person in the entire universe that would actually want peace.
It really felt cathartic when we are reminded, once again, that we don't hate Ball-aSS enough.

This is the part I was confused about after the quest. I was like, "Why would Ballas do all that if he knew the love of his life would get killed?
But the way you framed it as "Ballas didn't even consider it" makes a ton of sense.
Where was this?
Roathe's VMs in KIM with the Devil's Triad content
"lemmeathimlemmeathimlemmeathimleMMEFUCKINGATHI-"
gets yoinked out of the memory dive
i genuinely thought we were gonna see more high elite orokin/executors and i was disappointed

Operator watching their past self defend Ballas:

I hope Narmer revives Ballas so we can have him as a farmable node so we can keep killing his ass over and over again.
I failed the mission the first time, I choose to believe that timeline still exists
Another timeline is, we know its ball ass, we ditch it and run outside of a 700m radius to prevent emergency continuity and let it all burn
Funny enough, if you fail then the vhicle does an emergency continuity to keep Ballas alive, meaning that if you fail Ballas gets your body.
Even funnier is I think that was Ballas' plan.
I think he was like "Tenno suck, I'll prove it and that an Orokin would use their power better!" and used his Anarch Dax forces to try to Continuity into us.
We just so happened to be the only valid Continuity target? Nothing Ballas does like this is accidental. We foil his plan to steal the Operator's body and I think that's what makes him pivot to destroying the Xenoflora.
Shenpai crashing out over discovering she saved BALLAS' blue ass is a thing of legends.
Umbra shanck that asshole ! Jojo pose
If I knew it was his clown ass inside I would've joined in on the attack.
DE got massive cahoonas for pulling that move dud, i was livid watching my operator protect ballass 🥃🗿
Remember the quest the new war is repayable
No lie, I must have let the damn carriage blow up like five times before I locked in and finished the mission. I was like, "If the Orokin walkingbout of that coach is Ball-Ass, I'm gonna-"
Felt like the whole gd CIRCUS as soon as that ugly blue mf stepped out 🤡🤡🤡
