TODO: Big monster battle (Tramplers)
As the Control Pylon ascends from within the floor, the voice speaks to you through the Focus:
I am constrained from guiding your efforts with the Control Pylon. I can, however, express regret that the biodiversity outside is not what I would like it to be. Also, I am sure our friendship could prove to be quite productive, if we just had a clean sweep and restarted from there.
Interfacing with the Control Pylon, you are presented with dozens of other interface options.
Some, like Doors, are clearly subsystem controls, while others mean nothing to you.
The controls labeled Bioschemata and Machine Production seem like they could be the ones the voice wanted help with.
The Bioschemata subsystem has hundreds, possibly even thousands, of individual sub-items, most with words you can read but don’t recognize.
Two of the items toward the top are somewhat intelligible:
Tadarida brasiliensis (Mexican free-tailed bat)
Sympetrum semicinctum (band-winged meadowhawk dragonfly)
Flipping past the top several dozen items, looking for other animals you recognize, you note that after a point the items are all listed as LOCKED.
Unlocking the items, whether one at a time or in bulk, seems to be an option provided by your Override Controller, but it’s not clear what would happen.
Controls are also available to DELETE the items, but again with no indication of what would happen.
Asking the voice does not yield a clear or helpful answer.
If you delete any items:
Please stop that. You’re only hurting yourselves.
If you unlock one or more Bioschemata, go to entry 154. Otherwise, go to entry 155.
