Xmas 2015 Day 3: The Shadow out of Time Theory

[Black Hand Smith]

Before reading the Theory You should watch this 14 minute video. Once you finish you will understand the theory a bit more

 

So now that you are have heard the story I want to point out some parallels to our own zombies storyline. We've got an ancient race.....a great evil that resurfaces after eons... and we've got body swapping. These 3 Things can also be found in our own zombies storyline. The connection is even greater now that we have Lovecraft inspired lore thrown into the mix. 

We are currently seeing a battle between 2 Races. The Apothicans and the Keepers. We still do not know if the Apothican's are the only creatures we will encounter ( The Motd Hounds are not Apothicans) but we know that there was a great battle in the past due to the carvings on the wall inside the subway system in Shadows of Evil. We also know there is another species involved in the grand scheme of our storyline due to the Language on the MPD and the Vril Artifacts. Even cuniform suggests an ancient species. 

Now, Body Swapping. The Yith had the ability to swap bodies through time and space. They would transfer theirselves into the bodies of other beings in order to learn more things. Meanwhile the person who's body is being used resides in the body of the possessor. Something similar happens on the Moon. Richtofen Takes over Samantha's body in order to access the MPD and samantha is forced to inhabbit richtofen's now empty body. 

We have always assumed the MPD contained a great evil due to Samantha saying the contents are far more terrible than Richtofen, However, what if there is no Evil in the MPD? What if the MPD is not even a prison at all? What if the MPD is a Library? and like the Yith the Creaters of the MPD mastered the art of Time and Space? 115 is known for it's temporal properties and we know time travel is a key element in our story. Wouldn't Knowledge of all of time and space be the ultimate and most terrible weapon if it landed in the wrong hands? Samantha and Richtofen were both driven insane when they came into contact with the MPD. Richtofen and I assume Samantha can hear the voices. These are assumed to be the voices of other beings. 

The reason I think the MPD might be a Library is because if we are diving into Lovecraft inspired ideologies then it is possible they got some of their ideas from this short story. Only one thing has not been done yet or at least seemingly has not been done yet. A Library containing the knowledge of Everything.
