WX-78 THEORY NUMBER 2 WAGSTAFF WAS NOT ALONE, SOMEONE CREATED WX WITH HIM
The flashback sequence is all possibly are from a characters perspective
In my previous theory i assumed the perspective switched from Wags to WXs, but theres a better explanation
Wagstaff wasn't alone
This the first scene of the flashback sequence
We enter a room then look down on a clipboard in our hands
We get some flashes of WXs blueprints and the helmet
In the next full scene we see Wag, and what's more important he turns towards us It wouldn't make sense to change from a first person perspective to third person for one scene
But WX wasn't functional yet
Next scene, we see WX on a table and we put on the helmet
And who do we wake up as?
WX
We see from their eyes now
And when Wagstaff walks into frame he looks surprised seeing WX moving implying he didn't think it would work or that he wasn't the one to make them work
Switching reflections of WX
This proves WX was previously human
It doesn't match Wagstaffs silhouette, i thought for a bit it might be Webbers dad, as he has a connection to Wag as seen in the Webber short but the hait doesn't match
In this scene i first thought it was possibly a flashback within a flashback. That the human hands were a different memory from WXs hands
But it might also be WX hallucinating their old body what's supported by WX looking down on their hands and Wag looking worried
So, yeah, WX used to be a human that worked with Wagstaff
The empathy module might hold these memories, WX crushed it to destroy them
The only question is, why dont they want to remember?
But most likely the module doesn't have anything to do with memories as seen by WX lines in game
Maybe WX is trying to escape from the guilt. They might have done some questionable things while working with Wagstaff
Or maybe escape the pain of being sent to The Constant by him
THIS PICE OF INFORMATION I EITHER DIDNT KNOW OF OR FORGOT Everyone say thank you tumblr user @blacknight7890 :)
