I Just Noticed, in Ishtar Academy... [Hey, Look - No Hands! Thread]

So, the mission, "The Archive" - when you have to go into the Ishtar academy to secure data and Grayliks infiltrates, leading to a fight. You pass some skeletons when you initially enter the doors - the ones locked with the Radial A encryption, remember? Well, years of Fallout have taught me to pay attention to the objects, particularly skeletons, that are placed in a scene, because they often tell a story. The particular story here I wasn't sure about - there are some skeletons strewn about, one looks like the decedent was sitting at the time, another couple are entwined on the floor, another lies clean, facing upward to the ceiling. I figured they might be research crew or engineers or some such, locked in there when The Golden Age collapsed suddenly around them. But then I noticed [i]none of them have hands or feet[/i]. That would paint a far more grisly picture, but I'm having trouble putting together a plausible narrative. If the archive were infiltrated, why not just kill them? Clearly they had time to themselves after being maimed, left to bleed out. It's unlikely they did this to themselves, since one would expect a tool nearby and at least one hand among them. Or, ya know, someone was a little sloppy with the geometry assets and just forgot to toss some hands and feet in there. But I like to think this was intentional. Any ideas?

  • Okay yeah. I saw this when I first got to Venus. Hands and feet are the first things people eat when in situations of cannibalism. the one leaning up against the wall died last because he still had enough stamina to stay standing the other times of death range with the first definitly being the pile of bones in the corners and near by those 5. they had drawn straws. as food diminished the old, then the weak became the food with those last few dying out around the same time refusing to finish each other off. maybe it was the madness of it all or maybe they went back to far as friends to do that to each other. I think hunger would conquer friendship so they probably all agreed that this was the end and there was no point in continuing this futile effort. the lovers died together as the other two simply couldn't keep up the strength to stand with the last guy looking up toward the sky as if to ask the god they would soon meet.......why?
