Confirmed, brown haired girl is Max. Her female adult companion has the brochure for Hiltreich.

We're introduced to a new character, Old Man in Broken Abode, for now.

Riches are lost when the polar bear eats the ring, but in return, salvation... from polar bear.

The polar bear was the salvation /decoy meant. Who knew? That's actually pretty funny and unexpected :o

Well,now we know that Maxine was sent to Hiltrecht Academy by the looks of a leaflet appearing in the mother's (?)purse.

We still need to find an antagonist,unless 42 isn't revealing who the enemy is until later stages. Anyways,I think were also getting glimpses of the Facilities via the log files,like the Lava Gate in Log File 5 of the prelude. It appears after we complete the lava puzzle. Just gonna have to wait till September 15th now.

We don't know that Maxine was sent to Hiltrecht Academy. For all we know, that may be exactly why she ran away for good. Wink

As far as the rest goes I'm glad we are seeing more of a plot than exposition and some smaller conflicts develop. The main conflict (I say main conflict because it is unknown if there even is a proper antagonist) can wait.

They've been hinting at the main conflict, if I'm not mistaken. Man vs. Nature/Self. How many times has the importance of improved senses come up, for the sake of humanity?

True, but we could see a man vs man sort of antagonist as well. A personification of the threat at hand, if you will.

Just saying, the plot is finally at a point where it's more unfolding and less "What the freak is going on here?"

Could Obi Wan Kenobi ie that dude in that log file be the bus driver perhaps in a rough life after his bus driving?

One question: Why is it that the facilities need to be powered, and why are they totally deserted? In the comics, they're bustling with activity and everything is turned on and whatnot.

Is the whole allure of "powering" the facilities just a way of showing us what's going on, or has something happened to... everyone?

@tmart18: Yeah, me too.

@FS: I don't know, but it creeps me out, thought I was the only one. Especially the way they say the third one is being "excavated". Should be full of construction crews. Maybe it's like one of those... not Skinner boxes, the ones with the mouse and the cheese maze...

I wonder if the icefly led us and the Institute here, and the commercials take place after we've gone through it. It is a bit eerie in that case that there are no other people.

I thought that HPP stood for Human Preservation Project.

I think they go out looking for certain types of people, like Professor X does for Xmen candidates. Thats Traeleks assistant, shes found what she was looking for and handed over keys to institute equipment, knowing Traeleks going to guide him from here.
