#LATHA TECHNOBABYLON CODE#

She stole three because sure, you want a backup, and maybe an extra backup just in case. All developed from the same embryo split by Nina without Regis and Viksha's knowledge. I mean the conspiracy continues and his still part of it.įinally, Latha, Galatea and central are, basically, sisters. And if you frame the other guy then what is Deane supposed to get out of it (other than not dying, obviously).

Nina didn't seem to have anything to do with what happened to Van der Waal. Maybe I just missed it? He said this was something Van der Waal had set up in case something happened to him, but it's unclear how this is supposed to help. Why did Deane try to blow them all up? Himself (potentially) included? It was really unclear what his motivation was supposed to be. And the last call seemed to be from Baxter's location (since Regis traces the call) so he did all that without leaving Vickerman Pharmaceutical? Or did he leave and then for some strange reason return to a murder scene just to try and frame Regis? That might make sense, but seems very risky.įifth, Nina's conspiracy and Councilman Deane. So the mindjacker killed Baxter, retrieved Regis embryos, threaten Regis to get him to get he memory doohickey from Van der Waal (the mindjacker keeps minds in his own wiring except when he doesn't, apparently), set him up for the attempted murder of Latha (that never made sense anyway) all in a rather short space of time before Regis came to discover Baxter. What exactly was the timeline here then? Baxter was discovered (I think) after his coworkers returned in the morning (and even earlier than that by Regis) so presumably there wasn't that much time between him being murdered and the mindjacker deciding to start getting revenge on Regis. In the process he inherits Baxters all consuming hatred of Regis (apparently none of his other victims had any all consuming passions, but whatever). There seems to be no reason for it other than it's a convenient excuse to include another puzzle.įourth, the Baxter. It's unclear why she couldn't get charged. Perhaps it's something to do with whatever Van der Wall had in his wine? Then there's the maid who apparently torn him to pieces and then couldn't get back to a charging dock. It's obvious why it doesn't effect Regis (he's not wired), but only seems to marginally upset Lao and yet now it's no longer in the fridge. The memory doohickey apparently turned him crazy, but doesn't seem to have this effect on anybody else. And he refused to talk to CEL, then agreed, but turns up dead, which is all a bit difficult to work out a time line. He introduced the mindjacker to Galatea (apparently) but at some point decided he wasn't okay with what they were doing (it's very hazy on exactly why - perhaps something to do with his relationship with the other conspiracy i.e. Third, the whole Van der Waal part of this plot was confusing. You would think if Galatea wanted a top-notch HR mind, they'd go to the top and take the supervisor instead of Johnny Nobody here.

And you know they are mid-level because as Regis, you have to call their supervisor to get the code for the stairs. But then why was our first mindjacker case (at Animus Organics) some mid-level HR person? Where they really just an exception mid-level HR admin that central really needed? Doesn't really seem to make sense. Second, we learn that the mindjacker is taking the minds of the best and brightest to 'jump start' the evolution of central (versus it learning for itself), far enough. Since they know exactly where she is, it seems awfully convoluted versus just sending a few heavies (they seem to have an army of them) to pick her up. Perhaps it's supposed to motivate Latha or something? But it seems unnecessarily risky. So why does the whole story start with the mindjacker (and presumably Galatea) getting Regis to blow up the apartment and (presumably) kill Latha? That seems counterproductive, to put it mildly. I may have missed some detail on some of them, but surely not all of them?įirst, the main plot / conspiracy is for Galatea to get Latha to the tower controlling central because she's an important component they need to load with the minds that the mindjacker has stolen. First let me say that I did enjoy the game, so I'm not just looking to rag on it, but after finishing the game it seems that there are alarming number of plot points that just really don't make a lot of sense.
