[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Methusalem]

Okay guys. I might have found the clue to all these teleportations. Remember Dear Esther from the Chinese Room. Wasn't it some kind of out-of-body experience ?

My theory is that Mandus soul was split from his body after he entered the machine. It ripped his heart out, placed it in the tower and him into the incubator, fusing him with the immortal machine. He was betrayed by the entity in the orb which took over his body. It's the shard of his soul that remained in the body and controls the machine.

This would explain why Mandus was able to teleport from one location to the other (especially in the south tower where his heart was).

It also explains why the machine dies when he gets his heart ripped out a second time. It's not him but his soul committing suicide.

I hope that's not total pig mush.
