1[[WMG: Loci's motivation is more suicidal than murderous.]]
2Loci, the titular being in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20030826062030/http://www.nicelytoasted.net/honey/archives/002107.html Project Loci]], is a sentient AI and terrarium complex that's keeping all living things on planet Cruthiar alive.

4Loci has been abandoned and is slowly breaking down. He is dying and in pain, and has been for "untold ages". His choice is to die sooner with less suffering or die later with more suffering, and everyone's going to die with him anyway.

6So why revenge? Does malice seem like a believable motivation? Why not just get the dying over and done with?

8Maybe Loci's not getting revenge, maybe he's gathering the last of his strength to act out his method of killing himself and ending his misery. Perhaps he wants to get *everyone's* dying over-with quickly to prevent them from suffering from his breaking down, though he might be too preoccupied with his own suffering to care.
