VM define old guard. If living on your own doomstead is old guard, and being prepared for problems, then yes I am old guard.

It's similar to the brain possessed by the hardy reptiles that preceded mammals, roughly 200 million years ago. It's 'preverbal', but controls life functions such as autonomic brain, breathing, heart rate and the fight or flight mechanism. Lacking language, its impulses are instinctual and ritualistic. It's concerned with fundamental needs such as survival, physical maintenance, hoarding, dominance, preening and mating. It is also found in lower life forms such as lizards, crocodiles and birds. It is at the base of your skull emerging from your spinal column.

I apologise VM, I forgot that you are a multi-dimensional creature, and can time travel in your rusty bathtub with ease.
