A Few Questions About the Manpigs

[Alardem]

The largest problem with the 'Mandus revived by Compound' theory is that he himself doesn't make electrical sources flicker, whereas the Pigs do. Then again, he DOES teleport a couple of times in the laboratory and in the Tesla Tower, which is behavior similar to the water-monsters and Tesla-Pigs.

Also, I suppose one can interpret the body in the Iron Lung to be the Professor's - which would explain why the Machine sounds like him. The issue would be wondering why the Professor was so important to Mandus' scheme.

Speaking of Justine, there are hints that her father - driven insane by the Star Stone - was the one who created the elaborate torture dungeon beneath the Florbelle mansion. It could be that he had been attempting to create a Machine just like Mandus had. "Luckily", his daughter stopped his progress and was content to use his dungeon for the more idle purpose of torturing her lovers.
