By now I hope you all have seen the intel videos and gameplay up to the end of awakening. If not, I suggest you go look it up before ya read something you regret…
Sense the beginning of Extenction, I have pondered the theory of multidimensional relations between the zombies world, and this one. Now, up til now I've assumed it was a multiverse theory with constants and variables. For instance, in one world the apocalypse comes from zombies, in another cryptids, both worlds hold an apocalypse, only their way of distraction is varied. Now I'm beginning to suspect something far more epic.
In the words of the ghost busters: The door swings both ways.
In the original world, richtofen fallowed the orders of ancients to swap souls with an all powerful child using vril technology. Up til now we've assumed that samantha was locked in the aether/argartha afterwards. Now here's a thought: What if the aether/argartha aint what we make it to be?
What I imagine this world to look like is infact, another earth, very similar, almost a complete reflection of the original world, Samantha is placed here and, according to Robert Lutece's guide to trans-diminsional travel, her brain adapted. She became doctor cross, and grew up. Meanwhile in the real world, richtofen Lost the battle, forcing his soul back into the same realm as his captive. Here he knows one thing: He needs to take down doctor cross and her way home. He becomes David Archer, and quickly rises through the ranks.
All is normal until the cryptids, the ancient ones of this place, come into knowledge of cross.
See, much like the lutece's in bioshock infinite, the ancient ones simply wish to communicate with the other kind of another universe. They set up elaborate traps and manipulate the others with their psychological binds.
Now how does one cross dimensions? Simple, We've already seen it once before.
It's almost like a demonic recipe: Four humans, manipulated by forces beyond their control, must partake in the releasing of a demonic horde, the horde will struggle for power and eventually over run the human race and lead the planet to ashes. To perform properly one needs a host girl, and a spiral device (golden rod/cortex), with life-force-energy crammed into it.
What I believe samantha plans to do is "Swing" the door the opposite way, instead of pushing richtofen and herself into this second world, the catastrophe will instead be pushed back by MORE life-force, eventually ejecting sam and richtofen back into the original world.
Think of an airplane, the zombie world is pressurized, anything exposed to an opening, such as sam's soul, gets sucked out. Richtofen used this to replace his own soul with hers. MAXIS planed, and succeeded in doing the same thing, ejecting richtofen's soul into the void as well, unfortunately maxis isn't a soul, he's presumably an AI. And thus flux endures.
Maxis's soul can only hold open the gateway to argartha for so long before he breaks, sucking the presumable existence of the zombie world with him. BUT, if samantha is able to REVERSE the flow of the plane's pressure, by crashing it underwater, it becomes a sinkhole and everything flows back in.
Once back in, it can be speculated that samantha will eject richtofen's soul from the machine again, and take control of the hordes once more. BUT my theory is something from the flux between worlds will come in with her, push her out, and take control.
SImply put, samantha crashes the airplane into metaphorical water, everything sinks into it, water, samatha, richtofen, and whatever's else out there….
Also for those that say extinction has NOTHING to do with zombies:
Extenction: Zombies
Samantha- influenced by the hordes. : Samantha- influenced by the hordes.
Cryptid apocalypse: Zombie apocalypse.
Golden rod looks just like the cortex device.
Weapon development by a research group.
Hordes from beneath the earth rise to kill.
Ancient technology on controlling the hordes
Scorched earth
A voice only heard by an intercom ready to scorch the earth
War-man scientist with little to no conscience.
Big machine in low-gravity environment/ bouncy environment.
Soul-powered devices.
Have I not convinced you yet?
Anyway, tell me what you think, and what you think will happen!
