> You fly down and check the pod

> "In recognition of your damage, you have been provided two stress-toys in the likeness of your teammates. Sincerely, Little Buddy (Management)."
> You swallow thickly and open the suitcase with trembling hands.
> Plush renditions of J and V staring up at you with stitched-on smiles.
> You're all alone now. Friendless. A failure.
> No J to greet in the dusk while she calls you a worthless liability.
> No V to catch the attention of while she forgets your one-letter name.
> The ice-cold grip of isolation worms its way into your core as you stare down at the dolls the company gave you.
> Dolls who are very soft to your tactile sensors and will definitely not obliterate your self esteem.
> You squeeze the V doll and something hard in its chest clicks as it says "I love you!" in her voice.
> ... You can work with this.

> Unbeknownst to you, each doll had a very familiar Disassembly Drone core stitched into the stuffing.
> They keep trying to ping you but can only message each other.
> It's mostly verbally ripping into each other over their new predicament.

Pure Nouisa. Like ambrosia.

Real talk, N not being able to brain too good no more so he's forgotten the depths of his capacity for evil should have been gone harder with than just that glimpse we saw in episode 7. Like, final battle, Vore GLaDOS keeps laying N on his ass by unblocking more and more of his memories from between his death at the mansion and his most recent respawn. N's repeatedly shut down using psychic flashbangs we are shown as flashes of him gleefully doing horrible things to drones and humans alike. N's less and less able to fight as his perception of who he is as a person gets worn away.
It all culminates in N being presented with his Last Temptation: if he will submit, once again accept his place as the Absolute Solver's most special fella of all, it will help him forget it all again. His life as a butler, the depths of his bloodlust and sadism, the sensitive, needy girl who loves him, all of it. He can have his peace of mind back, and all it would cost him is Uzi and everyone else on Copper-9...
Even if he hadn't narrowly missed the core it stole from Cyn, Vore GLaDOS is genuinely surprised when its offer is met with N cutting it in half with that laser from episode 1.

Looking a little pump-kin today!

Well part of the problem with that is he already KNOWS he did horrible things to people: he remembers Copper-9 after all; corpse spire he helped build, people V tortured, prey he himself "played" with and all.

Given he dosen't seem to value humans over drones I don't see the "reveal" impacting him much. He knows he kills people. He knows he eats them. Hell that's even part of why he offloaded the moral burden of making decisions onto Uzi in eps 1/2: he seems to have set his moral anchor on a combination of "doing my job(well)" and "relationships with close friends," so killing a bunch of randos wouldn't see any more than the mild guilt he gets from Doll's prom accusation.

In other words: his self image dosen't CARE about killing people. That dosen't make him a "bad person"(in his eyes) even if they were the "wrong" people to kill. What would make him a bad person would be fucking up his relationships with/failing to protect his loved ones like V, Tessa, Uzi, and even Cyn; things Cyn DID play off of with her visions.

Tldr: Even by end-of-series he dosen't give so much as an Uzi level shit about "innocent people" or "the workers," so he wouldn't be affected by showing he did horrible things to them.

I was thinking of having Solverpede wear her corpse like this, using cynwalker and the Corru Zuzucri as inspiration.

>one planet vs six other star systems

Ever heard "a million is a statistic?" Now consider that with 10 million or even billions: genocide of a solar system isn't going to hit him harder than the death of Earth, and it's not like the procedure(rip and tear until it's done) would be different between them.

Besides that the entire foundation of N's moral system since episode 2 has been "you can commit mass murder/torture(of innocents) and still be a good person." Showing him he commited even MORE mass murder isn't going to rattle him for the same reason it wouldn't rattle V. Everything they are, do, think, and feel is based around making that okay, so there's no reason it would be "less okay" to do it in a different time and place.

...at least in the middle of the fight that is. N's morals might change some time post-cannon, especially with Uzi "the normies should live" Doorman dating him. And as for what happens when he starts to care...
