I think the Doctor drank Xan like a milkshake through a straw. With Xan being the eldritch-flavoured milkshake and the vents being the straw.

Was that his plan all along? Keep Xan around as a cheap, easy source of refreshment?

Yes, refreshment and amusement, I imagine. Perhaps even a source of new flavours ideas.

"Note to self: Add more souls. And cinnamon. Definitely needs cinnamon."

If you think about it, it's like a holiday present. Once per mission, a new Xan arrives and somehow becomes a different kind of fleshorror that causes massive damage and then dies horribly. It's perfect for someone like the First Doctor.

Irrelevant: I looked up how to use references in the wiki. You can use <ref>url</ref> to add references and {{Reflist}} to display them. You can use this to make the source of a certain source of info easier to find. More info here: http://einsteinianroulette.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Reflist

I get the impression that Simus will stop sending out Xan clones if they keep going full flesh horror.

[Parisbre56]

So, wait, those flaming tentacles are actually... Heh. Guess that explains the glass tunnels.

Best intuition roll yet, I'd say.

...

I do think I understand what we're trying to do. We want to set free the Eater so that it can unite with its mate(s), and so said mate(s) don't crash into the ground and nuke everything in a several thousand kilometer radius. I could be wrong, of course.

Good a guess as any, though it begs the question of what this Pit we're supposed to get the Eater to is for.

Maybe it's designated as an area where the Eater can escape upward with the fire elemental equivalent of pheromones.

Right now, piecewise has done the thing that I appreciate him the most for. The amount of information given with that intuition roll is best described as just enough to fire up the imagination, but not enough to figure things out immediately. I do enjoy that, I really do.

I mean, I already sort of knew it was some form of reproduction or fabrication mechanism, but I just wasn't putting it into cool insect terms, you know?

[Nikitian]

I wonder if it is possible to kill the alien sun before or while the mating happens.
I mean, keeping it from crashing down to ground is good, but then again it is to keep the Eater from reproducing? Your call, of course.

Though if one had a MFM, it could be worth considering Ice⁹ing the Eater-dad; hopefully it'd also kill the Eater-mom.

[Beirus]

Huh, so the little fireballs in that one chamber might have been Eater larvae? Where's a nuke when you need one.

I totally understand, yeah. Makes for a fun game!

Why keep the Eater from reproducing? It doesn't seem to have been harming anyone while it was doing whatever else it does in the system, and it is a very fascinating lifeform to be sure.

Studying it would probably be far more valuable, given that we now know much more about what it might actually be, and that Steve's whole plan here seems to have been to find out how to use something like this for maximum directed murder and sabotage potential.

Imagine implanting worlds with the Eater's seedlings, or perhaps directing the false sun to strike at unwanted installations once the method of its guidance is known.

Maybe Steve could send some people down to abduct the tiny fireballs, put them on a UWM world to mature, and then watch the fun.
Or just bombard the UWM with the tiny fireballs. Like Super Mario. IN SPACE!
