Scarlet: Abaddon 2.0?
Out of curiosity, what makes you think Scarlet was behind Thaumanova?

I’m just speculating. At this rate, I would honestly be surprised if she wasn’t. The other two fractals are related to her actions and if the Fractals will at all be incorporated into living story, it would be strange to have the Aether fractal and Molten fractal not related to the Thaumanova (again assuming fractals are pare of LS).
Also the fact that this story resolved nothing, she is obviously returning. I think Thaumanova is a pretty important event in GW2 and I don’t think they would begin delving into it without resolving Scarlet’s story, unless she was involved.
So how would it work if the Abaddon Fractal had won?
Would Scarlet be behind the Fall of Abaddon as well? ^^

It’s the mists though, isn’t it possible that she will somehow show up in the fractal and disturb our actions (as in she has gone through a portal into the mists as well)? I think that would be plausible. There is nothing to say that we have to be the only people from our world/dimension/time/whatever exploring the fractal and she could have something to learn from the thaumanova reactor as well.
Scarlet is more like the “Abaddon of the Living Story” – but that’s a rather poor way to put things. You have to keep in mind t hat even if you combine all living story plots together, you hardly get a full game story out of them. Especially if you take out the non-Scarlet updates (Tequatl, SAB, Secret/Last Stand at Southsun, Halloweens, Wintersdays, Lost Shores, Bazaar of the Four Winds/Cutthroat Politics – which is at least a good third of the updates). She would be more on par to Shiro – just simply a big bad who’s behind a lot of grunt forces (the alliances). Scarlet has yet to really be shown to be behind any of the personal story or non-LS open world events. Except for being the scapegoat that Teyo used to obtain at least the weather changing device – and that Scarlet knows about the Chapter 2 PS events (some of them – and this is assuming her lines weren’t the PC’s hallucinations).
This said, the chances of Scarlet’s involvement with the Thaumanova Fractal is, IMO, 50/50. The only thing that makes her likely to be involved is how she’s behind all of the LS stuff, which would provide incentive for Kiel to (resume) go(ing) after Scarlet. Secondly, she is former Inquest, though I think the reactor exploded after her time among them.
@FlamingFoxx: Sure there’s a chance, but there’s also a chance you’ll find a skritt made out of ice that’s on fire but not melting. Anything can happen in the Mists, literally. But the chances of such a specific thing happening are infinitely small when compared to infinite possibilities. Also, as far as we know Scarlet has not gone into the Mists at all – don’t know where you got such, but she is fully a Tyrian threat.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Thanks for the responses. Personally I hope Thaumanova is not Scarlet related, Seein as how ANET put it on the same scale as the fall of Abaddon. We will see in a few weeks I guess.
As for the Mists thing, I believe that idea is due to her hologram being present at the toxic offshoots in WvW.

Follow this link, it is very well put together and makes a lot of sense. Mostly, watch the video, the comments are just some additional speculations.

Didn’t scarlet truly come after the vote? Maybe we wouldn’t have gotten scarlet at all.

No, she was mentioned several times before the voting started.
Once even by name.

I was going along/poking holes at Gkittendea of her being behind these fractals – what I was trying to say was that if we DID encounter her in these fractals (Thaumanova and Abaddon if it had won) then wouldn’t it be more likely that she, like us, was simply travelling to these fractals to learn or mess with things, rather than her actually being part of that specific piece of history.
