Just imagine: YOU are inside Submachine. YOU walk in these rooms. YOU solve puzzles. And YOU see things that simple human mind (one-dimensional, lol) can't understand!!!
I try to play games not as if I'm game player, but as if I'm Player! (that's awesome feelings)
And I believe, if I was there, in Submachines, I would give up when I was in Lighthouse!
But Player... He isn't afraid. He stays focused.
Everyone, including me paid almost little to no attention to that secret after Submachine 7 came out.Murtaugh's Game wrote:I never thought that playing in Murtaugh's game would lead me here.
I never thought I would have to make a choice. I was just following his orders. Right now it's too late for me to change sides.
For you as well, probably.
But if you have a chance...
Find Liz. She will guide you.
If he's the explorer, she's the solver.
One thing I learn by now about the Submachine is Everything is not what it seems.The Explorer and The Healer wrote: If he's the explorer, she's the healer. If he's the child, she's the older sister. When he couldn't understand, she knew that it wasn't his fault. When he fell, she picked him up. When they wanted to kill him, she explained.
When he died, she carried his words. When she died, we buried her alongside him. They remain together in the light of Shiva. Your journey is almost at its end.
Congratulations. You've reached the highest level of understanding possible to a one-dimensional mind. If you want to leave the structure, Shiva will guide you. Just follow him.

We the Player are part of this Trial and Error, like Murtaugh was.Mur's Powers wrote:
- The greatest mystery and misconception of the doctrine is that Murtaugh gained his powers.
- He didn't?
- No. They were given to him.
- By whom?...
- By Shiva, naturally.
And when Murtaugh Pass his first test at Kent Falls, he progress to move to the next trail he must face.last summer I went camping under the big waterfall of Kent. I guess this was a great trip for me, however some people do not understand why. Well, I did lose my left arm, but what the hell, I found out that I had a third arm. The invisible one. Since then I started to learn how to use my karma arm, and soon my skills were those of a master. It wasn't a surprise to me when people started turning their backs on me, since I was considered to be a freak and mentally ill. Funny thing, I can't tell them the truth, it would be like explaining the possibility of space travel to a goldfish. So I'm just trying to live my life peacefully not disturbing anyone. The job of a Lighthouse keeper seemed to be just right for me. And I wanted to spend the rest of my life in that lighthouse. But after five months my isolation came to an end when they decided to bury the building. My worst fear ever was to be buried alive. But what about to be buried alive inside of a building? I didn't want to take any chances. So I'm leaving today.
For those who follow me:
I am sorry...
and
m = (random 3 digit number)
sincerely

The light of Shiva drawn Murgaugh to live in the lighthouse.
At first we thought there was just one submachine.
But then Murtaugh came along, and showed us the truth. His ability to create karma portals between locations let him explore more than one third of the submachine net. That took him 32 years. How foolish were we in those early years.
Using his technology we were able to built our own portals to move between dimensions. Now we set up the laboratory, we have reconnaissance exploration teams...
...for submachines, we go on missions into the net trying to discover new places and parts of this greatest puzzle. Murtaugh said once that there is no 'greatest puzzle', no masterplan, no one is controlling this thing. But we think otherwise. There must be a purpose for all of things. We just have to find it. I thought this was all possible, but since Murtaugh deserted us, I'm not so sure anymore. But we found our purpose, we see it clearly. Do you?...
The Winter Palace is Team Elisabeth. Team Elisabeth are THE OTHERSThe light of Shiva drawn Elizabeth to leave the lighthouse.
Why does this sociopath only talk to Elizabeth?
- Why does this sociopath only talk to Elizabeth?
- Your question is wrongly put. You wanted to ask: why doesn't he talk to us. The answer is simple: he doesn't see us. Does that make him a sociopath? Not necessarily. But that does mean he's focused.
- Why does this sociopath talk only to Elizabeth?
- She's the ony person he can see. Remember, we're one-dimensional. We're like a drawing on a piece of paper to him. A drawing that was erased, redrawn and erased again. Seven times over.
PRAISE BE SHIVA!for submachines, we go on missions into the net trying to discover new places and parts of this greatest puzzle. Murtaugh said once that there is no 'greatest puzzle', no masterplan, no one is controlling this thing. But we think otherwise.
- How is it possible, that people are still coming through the loop and trying to turn off the defense systems? After all these years...
- What would you have me do. Destroy his creation? Destroy the whole section?
- I don't know... Maybe...
- You're talking about destroying our history. What next, book burning?
- No, of course not. But maybe... A sign? That it's no longer necessary to shut down the defenses?
- And what about those in the eighth layer?
- I stand corrected...
We tried to turn off the defense systems, but we came back. If we were the only ones who came back and that green karma portal transported 742 years into the future, then it's no wonder that Murtaugh never knew that someone did return.Murtaugh: If there's one thing I regret - it's the fact that of all people I sent to the edge no one ever came back. Not a single soul. That will haunt me for the rest of my life...
Liz: I know.
