[SPOILER] Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

[bluel0bster]

Who is the Engineer, and what other civilizations has he wept for? Is it referring to the Orb?

I assumed the engineer was Mandus himself, don't really have a lot of evidence to support that idea though, mainly just that Mandus tricked the professor and knocked him unconscious while bringing him to see the engineer, if I remember correctly.

What happened to the Professor?

Wasn't he turned into a pig? I assumed he was the tesla pig.

What are the two parts of Compound X? Vitae, and "Monad Orgone Dispersal fluid" - any idea what these are?

Well we know what "Brennenburg Vitae" is from the first game . Can only guess at what the second one is, they probably made it up. Could be a reference to something though. I'll look into it.

It seems there's some sort of interdimensional gate at the heart of the Machine. What towers does he refer to? What "other world" is he talking about?

Maybe the same "other world" present in TDD? Where the kaernk come from and where Alexander wants to go?

Whose are the two hearts there? Presumably Edwin and Enoch's, but then whose is the third?

There were three hearts? If so, maybe two were his children, and maybe one was the professors? I'll have to play this again...
