We actually do know; you can barely read it, but in the ending cinematic, the newspaper say he was "stuffed into a cramped airduct".


* So...where exactly ''was'' Maksh being held throughout the game? It had to be somehwere Ni'Dopal could get to while still remaining in the bar, but we never find out. The only hint we get is that it was "dark" and "cramped".

* The Akro Mati control U'Bleek (somewhat confusingly, since other company-owned planets are directly governed by the respective company) and are further savy enough to maintain an extensive security apparatus and off-world PR operation, yet they are depicted as bumbling, sloppy and stupid in Cilia's flashback. [[spoiler: Among other things, they don't pursue an uncontrolled barge with a rowboat conspicuously tugging along, shoot first and ask questions later and don't bother checking the shipping containers. Even with numerous guard towers and police boats, Cilia and her bumbling companions are easily able to escape off-world.]]

* Ni'Dopal [[spoiler: (disguised as one of the stationary Napthaleens for most of the game)]] tries to kill Alias with a poison dart after identifying him eventually. He is able to hit Alias even through walls, as hiding in one of the toilets or even outside the bar still sees Alias getting picked off.

* Near the end of Cilia's flashback, the player has to choose one of three shipping containers, two of which being destined for a different planet. [[spoiler: Since Cilia ends up on Armpit VI, the container headed there is the obvious choice. It's however never explained why Cilia choose Armpit VI and it seems nonsensical. Her goal is to deliver evidence of the Akro Mati's oppressiveness to an Helios Agricorp executive, but Armpit VI is owned by Amalgamated Vacuum, so she's definitively not finding him there.]]

* None of the flashback characters ever questions how Alias knows the information he's gleaned from their memories. Especially weird with [[spoiler: Cilia: the only non- Emp Tel way Alias would have known her contact's name would have been for him to be involved with the Trisecks/Akro Mati war somehow.]] Considering this is supposed to be a seedy bar full of suspicious folks, everyone seems to just accept that what he says is true surprisingly easily.
