In Response To: Re: I Don't Think We Survived That Nova... (Philtron)

: Craaaazzzzzyyyyyyyy

: Thanks for the dropping this truth bomb, Hamish.

: I always thought that the magnolia bud image was some abnormal
: cybernetic-bone structure, but now that I know it's a plant I don't know
: how I didn't see it before. Even looking at the final "hand"
: image it looks less like a hand and more like a series of branches that
: have grown into the shape of a hand.

: Is that flower in the "Eat The Path" terminals also a magnolia?

: As for magnolias. According to wikipedia and some other online resources,
: magnolias have been around for a while. Fossils of plants in the
: Magnoliaceae family have been found that date back 95 million years ago.
: Magnolias evolved before the existence of bees and so they have physical
: adaptations to promote pollination slightly different from many other
: flowers. They can grow as shrubs or as trees, and one online resource
: claimed that magnolia trees could grow up to 80ft in height. Apparently
: they can be very resilient. Another source said that the magnolia has come
: to symbolize femininity, nobility, and perseverance .

One interpretation of the Final Screen image is that it is an analogy of the player becoming a God, in line with the text.

Imagine for a moment that the orange/gold background is the original image showing a Magnolia in different stages moving from seed, to stem and ultimately to a flower. However, the flower can't been seen because of the blood splatter caused by the player's ruptured cybernetically enhanced hand. Of course the player no longer needs his hand (or body for that matter) as he has become a God at the moment of the closure.

That's my take on it anyway.

Cheers
Hamish
