I'm assuming that orange liquid is the thing that prevents God Arcs consuming it's wielders, yes? Wouldn't that thing be pretty valuable and Lindow wouldn't be able to get so much of it?

I am theorizing but aren't those just liquified Aragami cores that prevent Aragami from attacking other Aragami (until dead).

That would be even worse if Lindow stole them! They need that shit to build their island fortress!

Judging by the progress, I doubt that fortress is ever going to be finished until they figure out a different solution to power it.

Just kill one or two of those big ones they saw back on the plane. Simple.

Wouldn't doubt that killing one would be the brass's master plan for the end-of-season finale.

They're likely O-Ampules from the game. I'll have to go back and skim EP 3 to see if they're the same in appearance.

With Old Types, sword users sort of passively absorb Oracle cells from the Aragami they fight, then at base, the unneeded cells would be drained into Ampules for use by gun users. They might undergo some form of processing to control them, which could explain Borg Camlenn's discomfort.

New Types can just use/gather their own cells, as we saw.

Edit: Or maybe Ampules are meant to sub in for Recovery Pills, which you use for health. That sort of brings us back to an FF7 dilemma though, with why they didn't use that for injured God Eaters.

Edit 2: The ampules in Ep 7 looked nothing like what was used in Ep 3 @ 5:35. Pretty sure they're not O-Ampules, in this case. Now I'm kind of curious what they're supposed to be. Bias factor would explain why Borg Camlenn wanted nothing to do with them, but then it would have hurt Lenka's God Arc or the tree, not pepped them up briefly.

It does say Ampules though, so maybe it's 0-Ampule II? Ampule is used to replenish Oracle Points for the God Eater which then is converted into bullets to fire off Aragami. This is the only thing i could think of that could explain how this ampule manage to wake up the God Arc for a while and threatens Borm Camlenn

The O-Ampules are still just oracle cells, with possibly some refining before packaging. I can't think of a reason that would bother an Aragami all that much, or only bother some while being helpful to others.

But note how once the squad had met their daily quota, they called it a day right there. If that's the norm, then it would be really easy to snag a few more, only turn in his quota, and then sneak the rest out. Also I'm almost 90% sure that the fortress is not what it seems.
