== [[Emotionless Girl|Aki Luttinen]] had [[Freudian Excuse|parental issues]] ==
* She has a name that would be perfect for a Finnish...boy.<ref>Though the manual says she's Norwegian, let's just say her dad was a Finn living in Norway who married a Norwegian</ref> Her father wanted a son instead of a daughter and therefore named her that way. Being [[The Unfavourite]] resulted in her dismissing all emotions as fickle and unreasonable. The algorithm incident was a deliberate attempt to free herself from those flaws of humanity.
== Morgan Industries is quickly defeated as an independent faction, keeps going regardless ==
* Morgan's pacifist and has natural penalties to Police and Support, so he probably doesn't last long. Perhaps he's conquered but acquitted of any potential war crimes and allowed to lead his company. Alternatively he may voluntarily submit to Lal or Provost, becoming a quasi-client state.
** Or the government and business are separate entities, so when he steps down as leader of the Morganites, he just runs his megacorp.
== The UN is aware that Morgan is planning to sneak on board the Unity ==
Line 18:
** Equally possible is that Zakharov's {{spoiler|rant after the Lab Three incident}} was just a [[Heroic BSOD]] and he got better. As he's the one who describes the events leading up to the transcendence and is the best candidate to figure out how to break the ongoing cycle, he has to have been around and instrumental to the process up until at least that point. Perhaps a tri-lateral pact between Dierdre, who was the one in tune with Planet, Lal, who had the military firepower to support the alliance without Santiago's extremism, and Zakharov, who had the scientific knowledge and logical outlook to figure the whole transcendence thing out?
*** Considering that the game allows trilateral cooperative victory and survival of surrendered factions, it is safe to assume that Lady D, Zack and Lal are the three deities of Chiron, while the others are either destroyed {{spoiler|Santiago and Myraim, in the above mentioned fall of Sparta and transporter incident respectively}} or have surrendered to the pact. {{spoiler|Morgan and Yang, who faded away quietly}}
*** Concerning Zak, since he aims for research, he will usually pick Knowledge and Cybernetics as a Social Model. Guess what other benefits Cybernetics has. +2 Planet (which also allows you to catch the worms, he condemned so much after the Lab Three incident). Which probably enabled him also to speak with Planet. After constructing "Voice of Planet", he is quoted from his work, which is aptly named "Planet Speaks", which is also the only quote, this work provides. Given that Cybernetics is a late-game social model, it makes sence.
== Most of the crew members on the Unity are either [[Assassin's Creed|Templars or Assassin]]. ==
* The decades of war and unrest during Earth's final days most likely resulted in all the Pieces of Eden being either destroyed or lost. Also, it became clear that civilization on Earth is come to an end. Thought the centuries, both groups have already infiltrated most of the world's influential organizations such as the UN. Therefore all they needed to do was to preserve the best and the brightest of their members so they can continue the fight somewhere else. This was the start of the Unity Project. Ones they get to Planet, the Templars discovered how the fungus network functions and the possibility of what they wanted all along by means of the Ascent to Transcendence. The Assassins, on the other hand, will do everything in their power to stop them.
** This makes Deirdre, Yang, Zakharov, Aki Zeta-5, and (possibly) Cha Dawn Templars. And Morgan, Santiago, Miriam, and Domai to be Assassins. Everyone else are just normal people that got caught in between.
*** What about the Manifold Usurpers and the Manifold Caretakers? Or are they above the whole thing since they're aliens?
**** Either that, or they were [[The Precursors|The Ones Who Came Before]] who created the Pieces of Eden and created humanity in the first place.
** Alternatively, everyone is a Templar that left after a Piece of Eden malfunctioned.
** I disagree on who is a Templar and who is an Assassin. The Templars would be associated with Earth-based power structures, whereas Assassins would doubtless be opposed to those old power structures. Thus, the Templars are likely Yang, Morgan, Lal, and Miriam. Assassins would be Deidre, Santiago, Roze, and likely Svensgaard. Zakharov, Domai, and Aki Zeta-5 could be in either camp.
*** Zakharov will likely be siding with the Assassins the same reason that [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|Piri Reis]] did, since they offer more academic and intellectual freedom to its members compared to the Templars.
== The Unity project is part of the [[Fallout|Vault Experiment]]. ==
Line 33:
** This ''could'' work if the Vaults weren't designed for the purpose of figuring out who would be the best for space travel. I propose that Vault-Tec and the Enclave were planning to replicate the United Nation's expedition to Alpha Centuari by way of vaults.
** Actually, the Human Hive are a lot like this. Social experiments, underground communes; it all fits.
** (The OP) Perhaps the Unity project was launched by the UN shortly before it was dissolved. The Enclave was inspired by the Unity project to launch their own space colony program. But seeing as how things went wrong with the Unity, they create the vault project.
*** Well, they wouldn't know that something went wrong with the Unity since the Unity cut off all contact with Earth.
*** The Enclave being who they are, can easily infiltrate the UN Alpha Centauri Mission Comity and sabotage the commutation between the Unity and the rest of Earth when keep monitoring the Unity.
** This actually makes a shocking ammount of sense given evidence that none of the factions have that much American influence, and its implied when you build an information controlling secret project that the US descended into some kind of dictatorship which fell into anarchy (very similar to Fallout where the same thing happened) its possible that the US government (controlled by the government) abstained from taking part in the Unity project since they wouldnt be the ones to lead the project and also because of the massive chinese involvement in the project.
== Whoever provides the quote for a technology/Secret Project/base was to first to build that. ==
* Yes, this means Lal ''[[Hypocritical Humor|built the Mind-Machine Interface]]''.
