Is there a complete script anywhere? I've been fishing it out of the game files, but some of it(such as the ending) is buried in the executable itself so it's not easily searchable. And these make it hard to see the script as a whole.
Who actually stole the mysterious cube? From the description, I had figured it was an Oculite; but Lora said the name was James Steiner. The only mention I can see of a James is that one of the Foundry guards says "I once pushed James, the coroner, into a pit full of corpses during an investigation. Oh boy, was he mad!" Foundry has an Oculus presence, so it might have been him.
I saw Dude mentioned in the residential logs. He knows more than he lets on. He knows about Six:
"Listen, man. Did you know that, like, six is the most common number? Yeah, even more than one... or zero... or seventy-seven. Aaaand, it has a hidden, mysterious meaning... did you know that?"
"Look - flies. How many legs do they have? Six! Go to Foundry, look at the ground. You'll see a lot of sixes! Core City, the pavement... Six! Hexagon, city in North Underrail? Six again! Why is the sixth sense so special? Because six is a special number, therefore... six!"
"Beware of people with six fingers on their hands. They can mess you up real good, man. Yeah..."
He also knows about the creatures that were haunting Foundry, which were associated with Ezra:
"He leans toward you and whispers.:: Ever heard of psychoturners? I thought not. Those creatures are really, really funky. They use their low frequency psi field to absorb any material they find. Then, like, they can turn into anything, using what they absorbed. It's crazy, I'm telling you."
Leo in the DC mentions having a 'brother' who stayed with him. I think Dude was that person, and that he's referring to either Tchort or Iris when he says this:
"I had this annoying neighbor back in, like, the old days, way back when I was a teenager. She lived in the shack close to ours. I never got along, man, never. Every time I'd go near the shack she'd be, like, sitting all fat and ugly like her mother was, and she would start talking so much it felt like a train was trying to pass through my skull. You know, man, like, she rambled about some stuff no one cares about. I felt like her talking was destroying my brain, like it pushed memories out of my head. I couldn't remember things after talking to her, and I often feel like I was, I mean, like I was gonna vomit."
He says he used to live in a cave and next to burrowers, which is consistent with living with Leo:
"A while ago, I drank too many mushroom brews. Yeah, that can happen sometimes. Anyway, I was walking home, when suddenly the ground rose and hit me in the head! I passed out, and when I woke up I noticed I was in an odd looking cave. I don't live in a cave, by the way. Not anymore."
"Did I ever talk about burrowers? They are fascinating, highly social creatures. Dangerous, but still fascinating. I should know, I've lived with them for a month. That's how I got this scar. ::He points at his forehead.::"
He knows the origins of the Faceless. Maybe the Faceless were a cross-breeding experiment with the Godmen 'High Ones' that came down with the mysterious pillars.
"Well, the Faceless are, as a matter of fact, a very sophisticated race of ancient half-men, half-gods, half-rocks. ::He takes another sip of mushroom brew.:: You see, they were created a long time ago in the fiery bowels of the earth."
And he can communicate with higher beings(maybe the "High Ones"):
"Well, I mostly drink mushroom brew, but I also have visions and communicate with higher beings. While we're at it... ::He turns toward the barkeeper and yells.:: Barkeeper! Another one!"
He learned Bilocate by interacting with one of the pillars. This is consistent with the laboratory in DC that had a bunch of bilocations moving about:
"If you see any weird crystals in the caves - don't shoot them, don't touch them, don't lick them, don't kick them, don't punch them, don't feed them, don't jump over them, don't sing to them. It could be disastrous. It could mess up your mind."
Also, Leo mentioned he pictures of some family. Al Fabet mentions his grandad went down to scavenge and never came back. So maybe they're related(or it's Dude):
"I heard there's good stuff there to be found, yeah. My grandad even went there to scavenge, while the elevators were still working. He never came back."
