: since it raises too many strange questions about the player's movement if

: remains.

I believe you are referring to this pre-release screenshot.

I must confess I missed this connection. The player playing a Cyborg Tank in the Tycho timelines. I don't recall it being raised before. Yet there it is in the terminal text. Bizarre.

Thanks for this WTF moment. :)

Cheers
