[[WMG:If the above WMG is true, then the mysterious lacertian Ral was talking to will [[ReverseMole pull a Skint]].]]

If they aren't the Black One, they're definitely vying for the spot of "most likely BigBad candidate" (and still may be even if they are...). This is similar to Skint being painted as the BigBad up until TheReveal right at the end.

[[WMG:Fih'jik will appear at some point.]]
(Although not necessarily known as 'Fih'Jik', as that was probably a term invented by the surface-dwelling subjects, just as the Lacertian subjects named themselves 'Shra')

Take a look at this Typelog fragment:
->''"...proposed Credits be divided into eighths. Preposterous. What civilization would measure anything in pieces of 8?..."''
What civilization indeed? Perhaps one that counts in base 8...''like the fih'jik''. According to Ques' gigantic glossary in ''VideoGame/TheReconstruction'', fih'jik have four-fingered hands (meaning they count in base 8), a notable oddity, seeing how every other species has five-fingered hands.

Either that fragment is a cruel, intentional RedHerring specifically targeted at crazy over-analysists, or it's foreshadowing that fih'jik will appear at some point in the story. (If this is true, that would make that fragment contain some DramaticIrony...)

* Also, it's heavily implied that there are no native species on the PLSE surface that was the setting for ''The Reconstruction'' - it was terraformed and all sentient species were derived from a genetic donor (Tezkhra supplied the Shra DNA, EROS employees probably supplied the DNA for the Humans/Fortians). Logically, there would have to be a space-age fih'jik species from whence the DNA for the surface fih'jik came from.

* More foreshadowing - There are four weapon classes, but only 3 species classifications. It wouldn't be very useful to have the player character specialise in non-combat skills by powering up eXtension modules, so perhaps the Fih'Jik were held back from the beginning make the player choose a more 'standard' specialisation for their character.

* It's such a given, that when (''when'') the Fih'Jik are introduced it will be an [[TheUntwist untwist]] for most of the audience.

Specifically...

[[WMG:Fih'jik, or their predecessors, will appear in ''Forever And Ever''.]]
There are already a number of Typelog fragments that foreshadow their existence, and now we have an episode title named after a common phrase in TheBible that refers to the divine. This practically screams that the zealously religious fih'jik will make an appearance in episode 4, especially since this would be the perfect time for them to reveal themselves: Tensions are high and the galaxy is on the verge of war. Injecting a third party into the mix would increase the drama, and possibly give Virgil a reason to take Ros out of stasis.
* Conversely, there's no evidence that Space-faring Fih'Jik would be religious, so the Bible quote is only circumstantial evidence. Religion is cultural, not genetic, and the PLSE projects are covert experiments where the subjects are unaware that EROS even exists, so there would be no transmission of religious ideas from genetic donors to the surface dwellers. Hence, the Fih'Jik religion is an original idea of the Fih'Jik on the surface. The 'Supreme One' may in fact be a Space-fih'jik who was misinterpreted as a God (cf. ClarkesThirdLaw), just as the Si'Shra's deity was.
* [[spoiler:...Possibly confirmed! (Though not in the way proposed here.) We do see one creature that is very likely to be the first fih'jik in Kara's final interaction scene, but we don't know for certain.]]

[[WMG:'Five' will be a playable character -- that, or he's one of the ones that was cut.]]

[[WMG:Carboderm is synthetic Lacertian skin]]
It's called L-skin for a reason. The Lacertians have awesome regenerative capabilities, and somebody eventually synthesized some of their skin, so it became the all-purpose supergoop that they make spaceship and hab hulls out of.

[[WMG:Tezkhra and The Black One are neither Lacertians nor Lessers]]
...But rather a strange energy-based alien that exists by taking possession of Lacertian bodies, inducing slight physical changes. Neither are 'normal' Lacertians, as both have had augmentations which is a biological impossibility with Lacertian flesh. The Black One has also been through at least three different bodies, the first augmented, the second not so and the third form was assumed from an ordinary Lesser right in front of the protagonists.

The Black One made a comment that 'these small minds' of lessers cannot retain his full consciousness, implying that his mind is not Lesser, and that with each new possession, he loses a little more of his consciousness. Tezkhra may not be aware that he is one of these aliens (having lost that knowledge after going through so many bodies), which ties into his problem with memory retention. This would also explain how he persisted after being murdered by the Lesser on the PLSE surface of ''The Reconstruction'' and his 'soul' preserved in that magic crystal guarded by the Tatzylvurm.

* Possible support for this theory: the Black One ''never tells you his true name''. When asked "who are you", he simply says, "'''You know me as''' the Black One." Why would a bunch of random humans know who a random Lesser was, and by such a poetic title at that? This would seem to imply that he is some kind of higher being.

[[WMG:Virgil has some connection to the scientists mentioned in the abandoned databanks.]]
The idea just struck me. It's confirmed that Virgil was a member of the original Breach in episode 4. The scientists whose logs are mentioned in the abandoned databanks seem to all be members of the Breach. What if Virgil was one of them? He seems to know far more than most people do, and sometimes has vague, philosophical ramblings.

Now granted, he must not have known that much, since he was just as shocked by TheReveal in episode 3, and doesn't seem to know the truth about lacertians either. But he does seem to be connected somehow...

[[WMG:The "old man" referenced by Lazarus is #0001.]]
Really, this is so obvious it does not need further explanation.

Really, this is also obvious. 0001 was/is obsessed with how "time is quantifiable, and therefore finite", and he was also obsessed with his inevitable, approaching demise. The correlation between that obsession with time and beings who can transcend time is too uncanny to be a coincidence. It is also heavily implied by numerous sources that the Ouranos siblings were creations of EROS anyway. This would also explain the lack of any memory of or before the Shine; they were created in the suspension chambers before 0001 performed the experiment.

[[WMG:Dena is the first fih'jik.]]
EROS already created one sentient, fully-functional species; why couldn't they create another? It would also fit the theme of history repeating.

[[WMG:In episode 2, the buyer of the captured Lessers is Professor Burkle.]]
The first mission of ''His Master's Voice'' is a bit of a BigLippedAlligatorMoment -- Typelog tells you there's someone who wants captured Lessers, and you have to fetch them. The traps and containment mechanisms you use to accomplish this are also of his design. Typelog adamantly refuses to give you any information on their patron, and the mission is never mentioned again. However, there is exactly one person we know of who would take interest in capturing Lessers alive: Burkle. It is likely that he populated the Lesser habitation through this method.

[[WMG:The mole who sabotaged the mind/matter interface program was Burkle.]]
Seems a bit strange for someone who seems so kind and peaceful, but he seems to be the only EROS operative who's a lacertian. And Ral does mention that she was talking to a strange lacertain just before testing the project...

None yet. Be the first to make one!

[[WMG:Tezkhra is a Lesser.]]

His identity has been suspect for a while -- enlarged frame, white sclerae, and an apparent relation to another Lesser -- but the real kicker? Typelog fragment 2-2-8: "...strange-looking Lesser. Black scales, white eyes. Stranger still, it didn't appear to be immediately hostile..."

* Possibly {{Jossed}} -- in the genetics lab of the EROS facility, it can be clearly seen that Lessers have ''gigantic'' tails. Tezkhra's is shorter than Daszk's, which makes this unlikely.

[[WMG:Legarto Desperado will return to help you out in episode 4 if you saved him.]]
Fighting is what he's best at -- the hectic situation coming up will be the perfect time for him to lend aid. And there's no way he can just disappear after the super-important decision of doom dealing with him. Of course, his help can't be ''too'' important, since it's possible for the player to kill him...

Neither are 'normal' Lacertians, as both have had augmentations which is a biological impossibility with Lacertian flesh.

* [[spoiler:{{Jossed}}! It was a man-made disaster, apparently caused by an experiment in teleportation technology that [[GoneHorriblyWrong went horribly wrong.]]

* [[spoiler:{{Jossed}} -- nothing so complex! The Watchers were instated to collect data, since Willis thought living beings would be better for that than computers. The Cycle of destruction was simply to prevent inhabitants from creating high technology, taking to the stars, and [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turning against their masters]], as colony 503b did.]]

Take a look at this Typelog fragment: "...proposed Credits be divided into eighths. Preposterous. What civilization would measure anything in pieces of 8?..." What civilization indeed? Perhaps one that counts in base 8...''like the fih'jik''. According to Ques' gigantic glossary in ''VideoGame/TheReconstruction'', fih'jik have four-fingered hands (meaning they count in base 8), a notable oddity, seeing how every other species has five-fingered hands. Either that fragment is a cruel, intentional RedHerring specifically targeted at crazy over-analysists, or it's foreshadowing that fih'jik will appear at some point in the story. Also, it's heavily implied that there are no native species on the sequel's planet, it was terraformed, so there would have to be a fih'jik willing to donate DNA for there to be fih'jik in the first place.

(If this is true, that would make that fragment contain some DramaticIrony...)

[[WMG:The fortieth merit will be awarded upon completion of the game.]]
