WTF was that? (Bulleted with Spoilers)

This page is a work-in-progress. Its contents and formatting may change.

There are currently multiple proposed formats for this page:

• WTF was that? (Bulleted) - not interactive at all
• WTF was that? (Bulleted with Spoilers) - doesn't work! (Template:Spoiler can't be nested)
• WTF was that? (Bulleted with Collapsibles) - looks very nice, but requires writing lots of <div> and <ul> tags by hand
• WTF was that? (with Collapsibles) - requires source editor instead of visual editor, but code is fairly simple

---

WTF was that? is an in-game social media post discussing the appearance of Prometheus during a speech by Mayor Hermanubis.

It appears in every playthrough and is accessible from the very early in the game's story.

Note: Nested Template:Spoilers don't quite work. But something similar might.

Transcript

• Budahas (917): Seriously, what the Founder was that thing in the sky? We all saw that, right? I didn't accidentally turn on Sleep Mode while Herman was talking, did I? (I mean it's always tempting...)
• Letitia (824): No, we all saw it.
• Zagoran (211): Can confirm.
• Ovis (909): I believe it was a sign from the Founder! What else could it be, on this day of all days?
• Zagoran (211): Pretty incoherent for a sign. It didn't even finish whatever it was trying to say. What, does the Founder have energy insufficiency problems too?
• Thecla (862): The Founder works in mysterious ways.

[ Maybe it really was a sign. ]

• 1k (1000): Maybe it really was a sign.
• Ovis (909): Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles.
• Zagoran (211): In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign?

[ Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle. ]

• 1k (1000): Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle.
• Thecla (862): Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.

[ A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign. ]

• 1k (1000): A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign.
• Budahas (917): Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see.
• Thecla (862): Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.

[ I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there. ]

• 1k (1000): I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there.
• Zagoran (211): As some people on here have amply demonstrated, the appearance of intelligence does not always indicate its presence.

[ I don't think it was a sign. ]

• 1k (1000): I don't think it was a sign.
• Zagoran (211): Out of the mouths of babes...
• Ovis (909): How could such a remarkable display of unimagined powers not be a sign?

[ It's something, but not necessarily the Founder. ]

• 1k (1000): It's something, but not necessarily the Founder.
• Budahas (917): Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see.
• Thecla (862): Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.

[ It could be a sign of life, but that doesn't mean it's intentional. ]

• 1k (1000): It could be a sign of life, but that doesn't mean it's intentional.
• Budahas (917): Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see.
• Thecla (862): Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue.

[ It could be coincidence. A technological accident. ]

• 1k (1000): It could be coincidence. A technological accident.
• Zagoran (211): Exactly. Maybe some old projector somewhere hiccuped and farted out this nonsense. Or maybe it's something important, but broken. Or it's a hoax. Or it's nothing. Either way, Byron has been right all along. We need to investigate and find out.
