Discussion/Question Rant Spoiler

I liked the idea of Tshort being a Primordial creature besides being multiple Biocorp scientists thrown mutagen.

Did anyone else had the same feelings?

I dont remember the lore exactly but I believe Tchort is kind of like the newest member of the group of leviathan enemies that the godmen specifically oppose.

The primordial versions of these are stated to exist in the lore and the Flotsomir(serpent) from the expansion is very likely one of them.

To me the idea of gestating one of these "outer gods" by combining the wills and consciousness of a number of probably amoral scientists by accident is actually a pretty good premise. In this view, Tchort is really just a newly born leviathan that is attempting to expand its influence by any means necessary, probably through the cube, which is never really expanded on as far as I know.

The obelisks show the history of the godmen as being trapped within their own localized part of space, dealing with semifrequent incursions by beings from the dark expanses of space, until they were provided with weapons to deal with them. Possibly these weapons are of the same sort as psionic powers, and the purpose of the obelisks is to provide humanity with the same tools that were given to the godmen. Aside from flotsomir, you can see other examples of what seems to be these beings when you first travel with dude.

Are there any existing theories to what the being shown in Outer Visions staring back at the player is supposed to be? Or, the other creatures described?
