Subterfuge Apparatus: Theory pt.1
Posted: Wed Mar 14, 2018 5:15 am
So, we're stuck on this... Water World?
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!?!?!?!?
Aren't we human?
WHY ARE WE HERE??!?!?!?
We need to build... a What?
WHAT IN THIS WATERY WORLD IS THE APPARATUS?!?!?!? WHY DOE IT NEED NEPTUNIUM?!?!?
These are the driving questions I asked myself, and no doubt many of you have. I have no definitive proof of what I am saying, but it is the clearest inference in my mind.
To address the water world and the human point: These people are definitely human, every specialist picture shows that. Also, the humans are living in outposts under water. Humans do not have the capability to create outposts on the planet while on the planet. This is where the 'Covered Earth Theory' falls short. These humans came from Earth TO here, and established outposts underwater for a reason. I believe it was because of some great war on earth, where a few allied factions decide to take final refuge on a watery, yet hospitable planet. It is safe to say that 'The Apparatus' was used on earth, and was a super weapon of sorts. These allied factions had to stay on the watery world (I will dub it "Neptunia"). I can infer the apparatus is a super weapon by a reddit post, which the question of what the apparatus was came into play. A Developer of the game, Ron, replied with, and I quote, a cycle as to the game's ACTUALLY STORY, "It's a world trapped in an endless cycle of destruction that goes something like this:
1. plans for an ancient technological device are discovered
2. nations race to be the first to build this device (the apparatus, which requires 200 neptunium)
3. when a player "wins" a game, the apparatus destroys nearly all life on the planet, leaving the outposts intact.
4. societies rebuild themselves from near annihilation over many generations.
5. go back to 1."
Now the true question of subterfuge is not what the apparatus is, the question is what the people of neptunia think it is. They wouldn’t really be warring the whole time they were there, and only started when the apparatus plans were discovered. I feel like the top scientists of the day in subterfuge would know if it was a super weapon or not, and making it would be bad for diplomacy. The only thing I can believe the factions of subterfuge would war over this apparatus is simple: The apparatus can get the faction off the planet
Now the next logical question to ask would be why the apparatus kills almost all life on the planet, to which I have a futuristic reply: The apparatus gather biofuel for the spaceship. On a watery world, any method of fuel acq uisition is going to be long and painful. The apparatus can solve two problems at once, killing all of one’s enemies, and running for safe haven. The reason they are fighting so ruthlessly is because they don’t want to be the ones dying, and especially want to get off Neptunia.
This theory is not closed, and any comments would be appreciated.
