An 7.2-7.5 Speculation

Whether he’s put them into play yet is another question…

Solution Nine is named that because it's on the ninth floor. This was literally the very first thing we were told when we entered Solution Nine.

Given that, actually went to 'Solution Eleven' in the base expansion--it's where we beat the snot out of Zoraal Ja--and know that 'Solution Twelve' and onward does not exist, because the twelfth floor was an organizational code name for the portal to the Ninth above the 'throne room'.

We've also been to the eighth floor in literally this patch, it was where one of the Arcadion raids took place.

I think I’m in the “wait and see” department on this one still. We and the citizens have been lied to quite a bit by Preservation so far. Feels odd that the 9th Reflection and Solution 9 wouldn’t have more than a happenstance connection. But it’s possible. Disappointing if so. But possible.

It is interesting that Calyx/Preservation are calling each floor a “solution” though. He does end the current patch saying he’s arrived at an answer and wants to pose a new question. Perhaps that entails more floors being built?

As much as I would love this to be true, I don't think there's any "wait and see". We already know for a fact there's a Solution 1, 2, 3 etc and they're referring to the floors of Everkeep. In fact you can talk to Ubuyu in Solution Nine and ask her "What kind of place is this?" and she'll explain the origin of the name. Even if the citizens were lied to about the name, how would that affect anything? Some citizens live in Solution 8 which is just downstairs and that has nothing to do with the 8th reflection.

And the reason why it's called a "Solution" is because there's a "Solution to every problem", as in, you can find anything you need there.

Yeah, it does seem like that’s a reasonable explanation.

But does that mean “there’s a solution to every problem” on Solution 1, 2, 3 etc…?

Are they told that on each floor?

It still seems very sus to me.

Each floor has a purpose. We don't hear much about much of them, but they do. Solution Nine is the residential zone; it's the 'solution' to the problem of 'where do we live'.

Honestly, I've frequently see you come out of nowhere with a theory and then either twist or ignore all other evidence in relation to it, and I really wish you'd stop and do more to take in both what the game says, and what other people tell you the game says. The game rarely-to-never lies to us without tipping its hand that what we're being told is a lie; it's not productive or helpful to assume that everything is a falsehood and the truth is some long-shot conspiracy theory that goes against literally everything we've been told.

The Solutions are floors, and have no connection to the shards. We know this becuase we were directly told that the Solutions are floors, and also saw ourselves that there's only eleven of them. Please, it's going to be a lot more helpful for both you and everyone if you accept the evidence, and don't reject it out of hand when people tell you the facts.

I really wish you'd actually listen to us.

Apologies. I like to swing big, but I’m okay if the story goes in another direction. I suppose I’ll just have to wait and see if the floor labeled 9 has anything more than a coincidental connection to the 9th Reflection - and if there’s some kind of pattern to be discovered. Personally I think it would be cool if it did - but I can see where you’re coming from regarding what we’ve been told so far.

Kinda revising my Necron fan fiction prediction. I think what might happen is that something is gonna cause Calyx to expedite his plans, and he activates all 5000 Neo Regulators while muttering something about the heavens and hells, and dusts them all. Everyone. Everyone's aether, everyone's souls, everyone's memories get sent to Living Memory all at once causing it to overload, and create an anomaly. Memoria. Calyx is pulled into Memoria to his surprise. So we fight though Memoria, and while the structure extends upward, the top of it extends into the Aetherial Sea where we fight Calyx as the last boss the dungeon. After defeating him, he admits that this devastation was not his intention, and he was used, and that the confluence created an entity that is a threat to the Aetherial Sea, and the lifecycle. 'Life cannot evolve if there is no life to begin with, go stop it hero.' And he blips out of existence. We fight Necron.

Not exactly speculation per-se, but I do hope that the Living Memory map gets repurposed. I mean, we could assume that it is a factor in whatever Calyx has planned but guess we'll have to wait and see.
