* What exactly are [=DomZ=], and how do they work? On the one hand, the sarcophagi, teratosaurus, and the reaper are treated as autonomous species when you photograph them for the science report, and the pterolimax doesn't look much like a [=DomZ=] beast at all despite being described as one. On the other hand, the lighthouse [=DomZ=] and its cousins in the Factory (one of which buds off a pearl that morphs into Metal Gear [=DomZ=]) don't have the same treatment, and seem to be puppet bodies used by the [=DomZ=] Priest. Add on to that the fact that they can infect hosts like diseases and even rebuild bodies that way, and it becomes a little harder to work out whether a [=DomZ=] is a creature with a specific and characteristic disease, a coalition of species, a superorganism controlled by the Priest, or a mixture. So again, what are they?

* Is the [=DomZ=] Priest the Spirit Eater? At first, Peepers' reaction suggested the reaper was the spirit eater, but the M Disc claims that its taming is proof of the spirit eater's existence. Or is Double H's torture machine a Spirit Eater?

* How did Double H, a soldier with some experience and IRIS' best agent, get beaten by a reaper when a girl with no armour, no hammer, and only a few discs and a less powerful stick managed to kill it outright?

* What are the Alpha Sections' yellow backpacks for? It's implied in some scenes that they use the special gas mixture to breathe, but members turn up without them, [=DomZ=] seem perfectly capable of breathing normal gas, and at least two infected soldiers move around without helmets on at all.

** I point up to a previous headscratcher. "''In the end it is revealed [[spoiler: the Domz knew who she was all along, and getting the Hillyans to fight on the moon base was exactly what they wanted.]] The Alpha Sections have no reason to capture her.''" That is the point. They don't need to capture her at this point, although they could - they're bidding their time. If they capture Jade, that's fine because [[spoiler: the [=DomZ=] regain their power source instantly]]; if she manages to get all the evidence on Earth, this will lead to the Hyllians flying to the moon [[spoiler: into the [=DomZ=]'s trap, as intended]]. Kheck only let her get away after the roof-top chase because he knew her and Iris's next actions would play into their hands. This also explains some of the other behavior of the Alpha Sections' soldiers. They actively fight Jade whenever she gets spotted, but they stop searching for her if she hides long enough. Kheck or the [=DomZ=] Priest likely ordered the soldiers to do so, and probably also told them to ignore it if they hear the vendor machines' voices. This is actually FridgeBrilliance.
