* So far little is known about the [[Gemstone Hegemony]], other than that they were the original source of the purple beam weapon used by [[The Black-eyed Army]] in the battle of the [[Capital Temple]]. It is interesting to note that more than once we have seen evidence of technology, devices or entities of a crystalline nature, such as the [[Blue Crystal Trap]], the [[Purple bio-stone]]s and the [[Rotator]]s. Given the [[Gemstone Hegemony]] were able to develop a powerful weapon in the form of a purple beam weapon hundreds of years earlier, it is not a huge stretch to expect that other useful technology from them would have been collected by [[The Black-eyed Army]], or previously by [[The First World]]. [[Cristina Thompson]] and other tech specialists would likely have studied such technology in order to develop advanced technologies of their own.
So I've heard about a huge plant entity that calls itself a God. Where did this come from?
* It is the same entity encountered by [[Cristina Thompson]] when trying to rescue a number of [[Brownshirt]]s from a world covered in a plant/fungus organism. Read more about it under [[Cordyceps Fungus]]. Where it came from remains a mystery, but we've likely seen some of its nasty creations leaking out of [[Teskoy Prison]] or in from outside in the form of the [[Carnivorous Motile Vines]] and the [[Facehugging Plant Pod]]s. Maybe we will see more of these nasty creations later on?
So what is the [[Mictlan]]? How come the [[Soul Reader (Book)]] could read a human soul the first time [[Cristina Thompson]] encountered them, but subsequent reads of [[Corpse-thing]]s showed no evidence of a soul? Why did the [[Soul Reader (Book)]] become warm when used by [[Cristina Thompson]] the first time around?
