I’ve gathered some of the Questions I received via email. Here are the answers :

//

What is Adam?

Adam was the first human clone, but not a successful one. He was born “broken” with no feelings nor emotions. He died after he fell in love with one of the scientists. Later the big people cloned Adam, and created the perfect clone, named Addam, who was eventually murdered by the Wizards. GODOS re-cloned the original Adam and used him as a host. GODOS wanted to eventually take over Adam’s consciousnesses and so, become human.

Why was Adam so neutral regarding important events?

Every time GODOS took over Adam, it tried to delete memories that could endanger it’s presence inside him. His brother-in-law managed to put GODOS to “sleep” using a special serum he stole from the laboratories.

Why was Adam forgetting a lot of things then remember them instantly?

Because of GODOS deleting them.

What happened when Adam took off the rings (or they were removed) ?

It was when GODOS inserted new memories into his mind. GODOS gathered incomplete memory traces, and build up new ones using newly recovered data. This was needed because Adam was slowly taking over GODOS.

Was Adam aware of GODOS?

He knew that something is wrong when the suit took over many times when Adam was in danger.

Why was Adam not using his name? Or of his family members?

GODOS didn’t want Adam to remember all his past. Also, GODOS didn’t know the name of his family members, there were just images from Adam’s mind.

What was the role of Mr. Deacon?

The clone Deacon wanted to extract GODOS from Adam, and GODOS refused to come out. GODOS really wanted to become a human by taking over Adam.

The Captain was Mr. Deacon?

Yes and no. The Captain was the original Deacon. The one that wanted GODOS out was a clone. The Captain has other issues with GODOS, but they were always getting along.

What happened in Vigo?

The rebels destroyed Vigo so they can stop the KARR-5 from leaving Earth, and it was only GODOS who could activate the engines from Escelsior and Lapidus.

Who were the CEDI?

The Wizards for example. It’s an alien race that once destroyed every planet they lived on, and now they wanted to stop humanity become a race like they were.

What was the Wizards wanted to do in the end?

The wanted to get GODOS out of Adam, but they never wanted to hurt Adam. The reason why they wanted this would have been explained in an alternative ending.

What about the red haired lady Adam encountered in the gardens?

She was a clone and a rebel spy. Her original made the C.E.R.E.B.E.R suit. But that’s another story.

What was the deal with the white pets, the monkey, the cat and the parrot?

They were made by GODOS so if anything happens it could transfer itself into them. They were additional hosts and guardians of Adam/GODOS.

What is GODOS?

Started as an advanced Artificial Intelligence, later becoming a Super AI that could predict the future. After the CEDI landed on earth they helped the humans upgrade the Super AI to GODOS or G.o.d. Operation System. GODOS wanted to become human, that’s why he used Adam. Adam was the perfect human being.

How many KARR ships where there?

The KARR ships were built by the humans as colonizing ships. They needed to leave Earth as soon as possible. There were five ships and one additional that was kept secret. Nobody really knows whom are on that ship.

And here are some of the endings I had in mind :

Version A (Tragic) – After his escape from the Wizard’s ship, Adam arrives to Vigo and Ynfo leads him to an elevator and not the Captain. The elevator takes him down to Lapisdus where he meets the rebels. Among the rebels he meets his mother and Rayna, his wife, another clone, but she is in an advanced age, and not young like her younger clone Adam last saw on the Wizard’s ship. Adam finds out about the KARR-5 never leaving Earth and then eventually they take over the ship, but GODOS takes over Adam and self-destructs the KARR-5, killing everybody on board.

Version B (Happy Ending) – Adam dodges the bullet and kills the Captain. Then he lands the KARR-5 using the command console. The ship crash lands on the planet. Adam learn that this is the earth and he eventually dies because his suit’s batteries go off. GODOS lives on a backup battery for ages when the remains are found by the surviving colonies who come back to recover earth. They find GODOS who eventually resurrects Adam who lives a happy life on Blue Earth.

Version C (Neutral + Sequel) – The Wizards convince Adam to help them destroy the KARR-5. They promise to take him to their world and remove GODOS. They do remove GODOS from Adam, but he is not happy around these aliens. The CEDI extracts data from GODOS and goes hunting down the other four KARR ships. Adam tries to stop them but he is sentenced to prison. Later King and Heartless help him escape and they take Adam to Ozzy, Hayface and Kanzaz. They tell Adam that they’ve hidden the data regarding a sixth KARR ship, a secret one that GODOS was not aware of. They travel to the KARR-6 where they encounter new adventures. That would make room for Next Life 2.
