Eh, for your objective I think you were looking for the wooden one. The others didn't count. If you were playing on my difficulty you would have had to grab them all.

No... the Cetus Project was the creation of the Cetus Amicus and the whole KD Site. That was all Cavador's area.

Haven't you been reading the New Scripture of the Master Builder? I assume you need a plot update so i will summarize down below what Karras said in the distributed documents. You were right with the latter...

One more time for me to save you? Yeah... I have heard this level can get frustrating so perhaps it is good if I go forth first.

Exactly. I am not exactly sure how stealthy this level might be, based on the start. I am not sure how not to notify Karras to what I am doing. Well, I will figure out this stuff tonight. More far fetched then chasing after a super powered god who is planning on destroying the world? But, yeah, a lot agree that Karras is a lot like a James Bond villian. Also... so much for Deadly Shadows being the return for Victoria.

Summarization of the New Scripture of the Master Builder

Karras wrote this book to record the history of the Builder's children (the robots) during humanity's lifetime and afterwards. Karras created this book to profess the Mechanist religion, yet he could not read it to any other human including his own followers (so the other Mechanists have no idea about this plan) as nobody would understand the Builder's Paradise as Karras had. Though humans were flawed, they were created by the Builder to in turn create the Children of Karras.

Karras also had a gas called Neurotic Mutox that could change organic material into rust. The gas was placed in the Servant's masks and would leave via the lips. Karras at this point was watching the reaction constantly, being careful to remain safe at all times but getting as close as possible to watch the results of the Servant's gas and attempt to find meaning in all of this. The meaning Karras found was that he had been chosen to bring the Builder's Paradise to the world. He knew he could not fail lest he see the wrath of the Builder. The Servants would be weapons that would destroy all organic life so that the machines could rise (whom Karras considers to be the true children of the Builder). However, he also knew how important he was and thus his need to remain alive to oversee the Builder's Paradise (every time he uses this, he basically means the extermination of humanity and the liberation of the robots), thus the reason for his protective chamber in Soulforge.

The time of the extermination of humanity is near! The Servants will be given away to various individuals. Karras will then use the Guiding Beacon to draw the Servants back to basically inspect them and ensure that no improvements are needed, therefore it will eliminate any doubt that Karras will fail his master plan.

Some of the flawed humans were turned into submissive beings working for the Builder through the use of machines. These are the Servants, the blue and gold things that cry behind their masks in their lack of humanity. The Nobles embraced the Servants as they were more dedicated than the human variety. Karras goes on to describe how despicable the nobles are due to their belief that they are superior to other humans and the sinful things they do. But Karras also understood that they had a purpose and so ensured to use them to his advantage. This advantage was that the nobles would have the largest gardens. The rust gas apparently works by building a charge and eating organic life. By getting enough plant life the reaction would increase to the point that it could be enough to destroy all organic life. Together, all this would eventually create the Builder's Paradise and he felt the Builder's approval.

Karras had a dream that he would one day walk with the Builder. All buildings would be empty, all trees dead, and no creatures breathing. They would be the only living things there. It would be at this time that the Builder would turn his skin to iron so that Karras could enjoy living as a machine as well.

Now, what happened in the last cutscene was basically Victoria tried to place enough plants in the base, but she was detected and knew that their plans would fail as there wasn't time to fight all of the children. However, she basically created a reaction herself so that Soulforge would be covered with plant life, sacrificing herself in order to give Garrett the resources he needs to defeat Karras. Now the question is... what on earth is Deadly Shadows about?
