Submachine 9: the Temple

[ENIHCAMBUS]

I just hope the dotted tile in 076 has something important, because it was never there before.

Also, I don't think time plays as much a significant role as we thought when it comes to interlayer travel.

if temple tubes end in Karmic Fountain, then where do they begin?..
what liquid is flowing through?

(losing last strength, tries to keep discussion alive)

Maybe the resin is a byproduct of karmic energy?

hmm...
how?

[Jatsko]

I thought temple tubes started in karmic fountain.

[Sublevel 114]

so, karmic water is going from below?

well, where could tubes go?

[Jatsko]

I thought the Karmic water was derived from Karmic energy (aka the beamer shooting down into the fountain). The fountain acts as a converter from energy to water, which then pours into both the little stream and also away via the pipes.

interesting theory. :)

So, how do you think resin comes from karma?

[Jatsko]

No clue

[Sublevel 114]

need to analyze...

Couple of ideas:

First off, I would like to know where that pasageway that leads off of the left staircase goes. It also appears to be where most of the red resin is coming from.
So, time for a very far-fetched theory:

Red resin is a byproduct/waste product of karmic energy. Blue karmic energy to be specific. The left side of the temple is associated with Murtaugh, so could it be possible that the flooded passageway leads to where he tested various blue karma portals in the Core?

THe only reason I have to connect these thoughts is that the red color of the resin is directly the inverse of the cyan karma portals on an RGB scale. Not a strong theory at all, but an entertaining one

I'd really love to see where that passageway goes. It looks pretty obvious that it's not a crude tunnel, as suggested by the archway. Yet in the whole series I don't remember seeing any other doorways with that shape..

Add: And why would Mur's staircase have a passageway, but Liz's doesn't?
