WTF was that? (Fancy)
This page is a work-in-progress. Its contents and formatting may change.
There are currently multiple proposed formats for this page:
- WTF was that? (Bulleted) - not interactive at all
- WTF was that? (Bulleted with Spoilers) - doesn't work! (Template:Spoiler can't be nested)
- WTF was that? (Bulleted with Collapsibles) - looks very nice, but requires writing lots of
<div>
and<ul>
tags by hand - WTF was that? (with Collapsibles) - requires source editor instead of visual editor, but code is fairly simple
WTF was that? is an in-game social media post discussing the appearance of Prometheus during a speech by Mayor Hermanubis.
It appears in every playthrough and is accessible from the very early in the game's story.

BUDAHAS (917) Seriously, what the Founder was that thing in the sky? We all saw that, right? I didn't accidentally turn on Sleep Mode while Herman was talking, did I? (I mean it's always tempting...) |
||
LETITIA (824) No, we all saw it. |
||
ZAGORAN (211) Can confirm. |
||
OVIS (909) I believe it was a sign from the Founder! What else could it be, on this day of all days? |
||
ZAGORAN (211) Pretty incoherent for a sign. It didn't even finish whatever it was trying to say. What, does the Founder have energy insufficiency problems too? |
||
THECLA (862) The Founder works in mysterious ways. |
At this point the player is given two options:
Option 1
1K (1000) Maybe it really was a sign. | ||
OVIS (909) Thank you, 1k. I'm glad you see it that way. We must remain open [to] the possibility of miracles. |
||
ZAGORAN (211) In what possible way could that garbled mess have been a sign? |
In response, the player can select
- Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle.
- A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign.
- I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there.
Option 1.1
1K (1000) Maybe it is something for us to decipher. A riddle. | ||
THECLA (862) Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue. |
||
END OF THREAD |
Option 1.2
1K (1000) A sign of life. Not necessarily something intentional, but a sign. | ||
BUDAHAS (917) Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see. |
||
THECLA (862) Riddles and puzzles are the foundations of our journey. So it began, perhaps so it will continue. |
||
END OF THREAD |
Option 1.3
1K (1000) I don't know, but there's something intelligent out there. | ||
ZAGORAN (211) As some people on here have amply demonstrated, the appearance of intelligence does not always indicate its presence. |
||
END OF THREAD |
Option 2
1K (1000) I don't think it was a sign. | ||
ZAGORAN (211) Out of the mouths of babes... |
||
OVIS (909) How could such a remarkable display of unimagined powers not be a sign? |
Here again the player has three choices:
- It's something, but not necessarily the Founder.
- It could be a sign of life, but that doesn't mean it's intentional.
- It could be coincidence. A technological accident.
Option 2.1
1K (1000) It's something, but not necessarily the Founder. | ||
BUDAHAS (917) Sounds reasonable enough to me. Something weird is going on for sure, but what? We'll have to see. |

Option 2.3
1K (1000) It could be coincidence. A technological accident. | ||
ZAGORAN (211) Exactly. Maybe some old projector somewhere hiccuped and farted out this nonsense. Or maybe it's something important, but broken. Or it's a hoax. Or it's nothing. Either way, Byron has been right all along. We need to investigate and find out. |
