I think we are mostly all in agreement with this at this time. The Robot is just too much. That said, it may be quite possible for the robot to simply seal us in our little hole. We don't know that there's another way out... so hm.
Oddly, we know that the robot is "Guardian" - but "Guardian" of what? Of the plaque? Of this whole? Yeah, we know the glass came from "above"... but why? Where did
we come from? Why did we just spontaneously start existing (and evolving) in this pit? Were we in that glass beaker/vial/thing that shattered? Was that red stuff we drank? Were both we and that red stuff? We don't know.
Incidentally:
>compare "taste" of red liquid to Dweller's 'leakyness' and think if they're similar*
*I know we could experience (and still can experience) 'taste' without a devoted tongue because the red stuff tasted 'salty' and the mushrooms were 'delicious'.
It's quite possible that the Guardian is here to prevent the experiments (creatures like ourself and the dweller) from getting out. Perhaps its after the gold thing. Perhaps it simply is there to ensure that the
gold thing doesn't leave (though that seems unlikely as it punched us the first time it saw us, even without the gold thing). It's still quite telling that the only 'sentient' life we've found so far is: a Dweller (tentacle horror) and a Guardian (massive punchy robot).
My point - again - is that we're lacking in information. But also that we should get some ideas going here. We need to think - why was the "Dweller" dwelling there - obviously it can't stand light, but why
here? Why is the "Guardian" guarding here? What is the "Guardian" guarding? Is it independantly sentient, or is it highly limited in its programming with only
apparent sentience due to the parameters it opperates under (like a golem)? I know its likely we won't come up with actual answers, but I'd like to hear from others and see what they think... and we might be able to get some ideas together for hammering out how things work.
