[@Someone_retarded]

Imagine she met a Gargantuan Leviathan while floating in the darkness of the void. Proposed extinct until we explore the hundred thousands of kilometers of the void

[@CarMADforever]

I'mma take a stab at how she survived Kharaa. All Leviathans produce Enzyme 42 in some kind of capacity, it's only the Sea Emperors that produce it in concentrated enough amounts that it can actively seep into the ecosystem of the planet, therefore as she ate the meat of the Reaper she ingested high enough quantities of Enzyme 42 to effectively halt, or even cure, the process. This was probably continued by ending up in Sector Zero as she has killed at least one Celicerate, being that they are the mid size Leviathan of the sector I see no reason why she wouldn't have gone after a Squid Shark or two in her time. This final stroke of fortune keeps her alive long enough for Ryley to have his time and release concentrated Enzyme 42 back into the wider ecosystem meaning, if she wasn't already cured by eating the Reaper, she would be a few years after Ryley left planet.

[@sharondornhoff7563]

Or maybe Kharaa just isn't 100% lethal. We know it killed billions of Architects, but we don't actually know if that was out of billions, trillions, or even quadrillions of infections.

[@sky5gaming]

Well my Ryley never cured the planet because I played in hardcore and after 30 hours died and never started a new world. So she is probably dead in mine

[@Rokkettdog]

These fan theories are nice and all but the leviathan thing is not touched on or even hinted at all in the game. I personally think whoever at UW just liked Maida a lot and wanted her to be a complete badass and sure while we never confirm her death in the first game, it had made more sense and thematic impact for her arrogance and renegade personality to be her and her clashing employer's demise.

[@Rokkettdog]

To explain further: If other creatures produced even a little bit of counteracting enzymes, why would an incredibly advanced race stake everything on the most sapient creature on 4546B when it's shown they can clearly capture, research and experiment on most other creatures there. They have weaponry like pulse rifles and freaking solar system wide nukes yet they couldn't handle alien fish? I get that the precursors on the planet may have been just scientists but why not have soldiers/ guards as well since they when to an unknown and hostile planet for the purpose of saving their species. Through logs and their facilities, it's shown how desperate and cruel they were to the local fauna. Again, the fact that their ONE hope, the lone sea emperor, had the key to their survival but was intelligent and emotional is thematic and ironic writing in which the precursors caused their on downfall due to said desperation and selfish cruelty.

[@sharondornhoff7563]

@@Rokkettdog Oh, definitely that was the Doylist explanation. But we're speculating about a Watsonian reason why she lived.

[@nitzan3782]

Honestly if Bart would have lived Marge would 100% have raised him to be a hardened survivor like her. As for how she survived the Kharaa, I believe she had a mutation that made her immune system more resistant, and it let the inactive Enzyme-42 last longer in her system. Additionally, she had a lot of Kharaa-suppressing enzymes in her system from the weeks eating the Reaper, and once she foraged and farmed for food, she unknowingly stumbled across the antidote.

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

She somehow managed to survive the galaxy's most deadly bacteria and live on the corpse of a dead reaper for months without water completely unscathed. Her story is so amazing it borders on complete bull crap.

She didn't survive on the corpse of a reaper for months but 3 weeks. That isn't even A month.

[@LorLor246]

On how Marguerit survived the kharaa- I like the theory that's floated around about leviathans all having the cure in their enzymes. If she was eating the reaper that whole time, she was absorbing the enzyme. The architects only talk about one leviathan in their research but who's to say all of them don't have it? Reapers are territorial, architects probably couldn't go near them and didn't deem it worth the loss of life to try and research. The queen was the only one they could subdue enough to place in containment to start experimenting on. Reapers don't have the green pustules that usually appear when something is infected as well.

[@Caffin8tor]

Sea Dragon leviathan says otherwise

[@LorLor246]

@@LorLor246 wait, what? Isn't the sea dragon in the first game? what the heck are you talking about? did you mean the frozen leviathan?

[@rayzuke1232]

But it's only a theory and not exactly how the enzyme would work. As peeper get eaten by predators the enzyme that can cure and destroy the Kharaa get's used up. The theory relies on the Enzyme having a high concentration in Leviathans which is literally just a assumption. The truth is that most leviathans had immune systems that could combat the Kharaa some more successful then others. That is why the Precursors were studying multiple leviathans, as some species could withstand while others like the Biter Leviathan still succumbed. All the Leviathans we see in game are survivors of the Kharaa that have a natural immunity even without Enzyme 41. The difference was however that not all Leviathans had proper antibody's to combat the disease. Most of them can tolerate it but would not have the means to provide a cure. That would be similar to Ebola in Bats. Ebola can unalive a human in a week but Bats that carry this disease are for the most part completely fine. So here is what I think has happened. The Human immune system is probably quite similar to that of Leviathans. Some could withstand it, some could not. While Danby and our Protag Ryley probably would have died from the infection, officer Keith and most importantly Paul Togal were showing no symptoms despite guaranteed exposure. Paul is the main reason why I assume the human immune system can combat the Kharaa because despite being a old man that requires medical intervention to stay alive for the next 100 years, he was completely fine. Marguerite was the only one who was having coughing fits, but she was in much better health than Paul. Normally due to the advanced age the disease should have claimed Paul but there is no evidence of his body's health deteriorating. He sounds just fine in all of his Logs. And he managed to stay alive for a month or two before meeting his demise. If a old man with a somewhat comprised immune system shows no signs of infection from the most deadly bacteria, then it is very likely that the Human immune system can naturally stand up against the disease. It's just a case that some survive, and some don't.

@@DZ-X3 i just call her a living plot hole

[@Nickle_King]

She's a strong, skilled, logical character. She killed a reaper that was already well past it's environmental safe zone, likely getting injured along the way. She then used the reaper like a raft while eating the reaper. Reapers eat things that eat peepers so it's logical that the inhibiting agent from the peepers is in the reaper, holding the disease at bay. It's improbable sure, but not impossible. Not saying she should have been in Below Zero, or it makes sense why she would stay there, but "plot armor" isn't quite right. There is a reasonable explanation for her being alive. For some recent examples, plot armor is when Ahsoka doesn't get exploded by assassin droid's nuclear bombs because they fight her hand to hand first and even have bomb timers that are long enough for her to outrun the blast. Or when Echo isn't killed by a hit squad because they put away the machine guns and explosives to fight her hand to hand. They could set fire to whatever building she's in at all entrances and exits, but nope. Fist fight. People have survived worse situations than the one she found herself in. The only real contrivance is her conveniently being at the location of another Altera facility which happened to be where a living architect is, which happens to be where a leviathan with preserved kahraa is. So, Plot Armor? No. Contrived writing? Yes.

Subnautica: Sub Zero has such a contrived story. Nothing makes any sense at all. The original has many, many illogical parts but it was within a threshold where I could still enjoy it. 😟🤷🤦 Nevertheless, really well-made documentary, thank you! 🙂👍

Marguerit has to be hands down my favorite character in the subnautica universe.

What’s funny is that Sam in below zero actually did just die of negligence like alterra had said and the whole game was basically pointless (and boring)

[@Amego9002]

I say Margret is not insane, but a Survivor. Did think she did gard a VIP and not the capten.

[@Titanic-wo6bq]

imagine a timeline where Marguerit and Ryley met each other on 4546b (maybe in some alternate timeline where Ryley wasn't able to build a neptune escape rocket and had to leave the crater for whatever reason)

[@dreamiinotdream730]

I think it’s crazy she did the scouting for the degassi bases and picked the WORST locations in the game. I’m assuming that means wherever their ship crashed was off map from where the game takes place but the grassy plateau was right there and the safe shallows were only about a hundred meters or so away

[@coolstorybro1894]

With marguerit by their side, im surprised they didn't cure the planet before the aurora got there

We need a fan game or a spinoff game where we are Marguerite maida just before she starts living at the ice world

[@alex_humphrey_33]

“Your authority stopped at Sea Level” is maybe the hardest line in Gaming History

[@OVER9OOOXINFINITY]

There were a lot of things I didn't like about Below Zero, but Marguerit was not one of them. Its her game and we were just playing it. I love her so much, her mind is set on surviving and nothing will stop her, not even an alien planet with alien viruses and alien enemies. I would love if they made a spin off game about Marguerit.

[@powwowken2760]

Listening to the voice logs and reading about her in Subnautica was amazing. Meeting her in Below Zero just felt incredibly forced and kinda dumb, at least to me... That might be more of a problem with Below Zero's writing and story being generally kinda crap (imo) though

[@hexxr3061]

It’s funny she said she took out one eye and almost carved out the other as if it only had 2

[@chefskiss283]

Wait, so if she swim out past the ghost leviathan territory, that means to get in to the Ice Place, she swim through the void Chelicerates meaning she likely fought off multiple chilicerates

Btw in an older version of the ending of S:BZ an Altera battle ship tried atacking Robin an Al-An as they tried to leave the planet and Maida destroyed the Altera ship and died while saving Robin. You can find vids abou it on YT.

Marguerit Maida is what you get if Cave Johnson and Saxton Hale had a baby. Absolutely fucking insane with the "Life isn't about why, it's about why not" mentality of Cave and the "I am not stuck in here with you, you are stuck in here with ME" level of titanium ovaries that a female Hale would have.

[@rey_ispog]

Quick correction: Bart was the one who chose to detour, not paul.

[@LL-xj1zx]

I always wondered why she decided to stay in the water world in below zero, I think she was originally scripted to say she wanted to leave the water world but then that was changed, which in my opinion is bad writing, who in their right mind would want to stay in the water world

[@สิงห์คะนอง-Palm]

Still to this day I'm not sure if I should partially blame Marguerit for Paul and Bart's deaths. It is implied that had Marguerit not brought back that nearly dead Reaper Leviathan the other Reaper Leviathan wouldn't have been able to find them and attack their habitat.

[@redthing-y9c]

if a guy named "i dont have plot armor" got plot armor when hes nearly gonna die

why did she explore the mushroom caves and then imminently get the idea of '"amazing base location" lol

[@winterzaveri783]

I just want to know how she survived the bacteria without the cure.

[@Aldritch9183]

I have no idea how the hell she managed to take down a reaper with just a piece of rusty scrap metal. According to the PDA, those leviathans are basically pure muscle. I don't think a knife would do anything to a 50-meter creature. The only thing I can think of is that she somehow got swallowed by the leviathan and managed to kill it from the inside.

[@Kimizuky]

How exactly did she not die from the bacteria? the 3 weeks in the reaper would probably kill her
