I recommend one of these options:
Mind Blank attempts to hide the mind from attack, making its parts unidentifiable.
Thought Shield cloaks the mind so as to hide first one part, then another. This defense can be kept up at all times, unlike the others.
Mental Barrier is a carefully built thought repetition wall which exposes only that small area.
Intellect Fortress is a defense which calls forth the powers of the ego and super-ego to stop attacks.
Tower of Iron Will relies only upon the super-ego to build an unassailable haven for the brain.

More Bashy Bashy Less Thinky Thinky
The upcoming new PVE is a more standard one, featuring Quandary doing stuff and characters reacting to it, not the "figure out the rules of the puzzle" style. More bashy bashy, less thinky thinky. It is not a reskin. The boss event is currently slated to be unrelated to Quandary altogether.

Sounds like a Wood Elf team I ran in Blood Bowl:

It's been years though, I mainly ran a 4 Chaos Warrior, 1 Gutter Runner and supporting Beastman mutants team. The rat took care of everything involving scoring, and the Chaos Warriors worshipped Nuffle the only way they knew how, via Kerrunch.

I did the same thing recently, exported tweets, but sent it to my subreddit instead. Still working out what to send where :)

Count the fingers.
Careful what you say for it may be repeated in strange whispers to parts unknown.
Look for symbols.
Understand that style is as important as form.

Context is here:

I've made the same points in many similar social media discussions. A bunch when people declared the Starship Troopers Movie wasn't satire.
I could have combined the replies to 1, but then they would exceed the character limit if I want to copy paste them elsewhere.
It's handy that the reply char limit in some places is same or smaller than the title of a post limit elsewhere.

I meant original post to link to the threads.net post, but I've had this conversation several times.
This community started as a subreddit, dedicated to Starship Troopers Gifs. I never promoted it as such though, and basically used it as a place to bookmark. But I'll still post Starship Troopers and Heinlein stuff here, or any time someone is Doing Their Part.

We don't really to have to infer though, Heinlein was an outspoken activist outside of his fiction, ran for office, etc.

My take is Heinlein was a professional SciFi author, he wrote what he thought would sell, but given that: he was happy to conduct thought experiments meant to examine positions he may or may not have agreed with, considered, or actively opposed. That said, I think he also often had a self insert character that basically expressed Heinlein's take.
I point people at the Notebook of Lazarus Long if they want Heinlein's take expressed via fiction.
When the topic comes up I like to point out Heinlein was writing StrangerInAStrangeLand , a book some called "The Hippie Bible", at the SAME TIME he was writing Starship Troopers.
You're stuck with me as president for a while, kid. There's no way out. You've got me for at least another 100 days or so.
