[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[Alardem]

Daniel saw visions of what may have been Alexander's world in TDD. One can imagine the 'Stone Egg' to be capable of granting prophetic visions. OR, perhaps, another timeline/universe.

I still feel that something malicious had deliberately fed him a vision modified to display only the worst of our future. Whether it was for some greater agenda (like birthing some eldritch horror to ironically help that future or something darker come into being), or whether the Engineer really is just part of Mandus' fractured psyche, I'm still on the fence. The 'fever' is clearly supernatural, however.

Maybe Mandus was too weak, mentally and physically, to grasp the vast scope of the twentieth century. Being given a chance to avert the upcoming future, he instead seeks to accelerate its horrific consequences to an inhuman extreme.
