RE: Plot Discussion Thread *Spoiler Alert*

Hmm so perhaps the tragedy everyone speaks of in Mexico is that he had to have his foot amputated due to his illness?

Will it... hurt them?

The Machine
A cleansing fire always burns, little Mandus, but it purifies and it makes anew.

Did it hurt to carve out the fevered flesh? Did it hurt to cut free the gangrenous foot?

Ask instead this - Can we save them?

Yeah I figured he had to cut his foot off.

I had always taken the foot thing as a metaphor. :0

I still think the tragedy was the children dying. Four glassy orbs fixed upon a point in heaven... I guess Mandus reconstructed them and only a few people were in on that. There was Cook who kept the children out of the trophy room (since they might find the passage to the "product"-line). There was also the priest, although he was eventually taken down below to be made a pig-person as well...

Also, really cool stuff on the pyramids! I haven't read much into Aztec to Mayan culture outside a little mythology. Although, I have been to Cozumel and seen some of the ruins and temples there. Smile

The body is in the lungs has perfect legs/foots and so is our character can run like a rabbit.

So, no.

You're making two assumptions.

1. The plot is entirely consistent (it isn't).
2. He didn't replace the foot (he could have).

Occam's razor: You're explicitly told that you sacrificed your children on the temple steps, they pull their hearts out in mockery of Aztec sacrificial rituals, and some sort of tragedy occurred during Mandus' visit to the ruins.

There's pretty much NOTHING to go on with this stuff about amputation, or Mandus getting a cyborg foot. If you want to run with this theory, I can just as well say that Mandus is also an alien from the future.

Except for what the Machine says explicitly.

All these points make no sense. Inconsistency of the plot does not explain the leg idea and if we assume he replaced/could replace his foot then it is much easier just to assume the cadaver theory that was mentioned few times here. At last it is more consistent and answers some questions.

I feel like that's more of an analogy to something that he left behind that was 'infecting' him, or keeping him from making progress.
