My theory: the observatory is something like a replacement for the void sea, which did not reach mass production and was tested on animals, so what we see at the end is the most vivid and calm memories of how to live in peace and one might say, that it looks like an empty sea, what happened at the end was only calm and a beautiful melody

[@blackcat2333]

The broadcasts and lore pearl confirm this, although I view it as inferior to true ascension since it can be interrupted

[@Xylobone-Man]

The observatory (according to the actual lore) is half waste-dump for used void fluid and half testing on animals. The used void fluid itself is flawed, meaning it cannot dissolve oneself, but can keep them hibernated with only good memories to dream of. SPOILERS FOR HUNTER RUN IN PRESERVATORY However, despite this, it cannot halt the advance of turbocancer, when hunter is hibernated, the machine consciousness that controls the preservatory finds out that hunter, since having no good memories being lab grown, cannot find a good memory and defaults to farm arrays. Hunter, feeling the utter gut twisting pain arching through their body, is not at peace and instead feels cold and pained during the dream, only to reveal the hunter’s rot is advanced by the voidfluid, allowing it to spread from hunter’s body and into the machinery.

The double meaning behind the final song name (Suspended Sanctuary) was incredible. On one hand, it’s because their home is inside of and suspended through that great tree. On the other hand…

I could imagine this as the end of a spearmaster-like slug that returns to their iterator after completing their task, being kept in preserved stasis forever more

[@Xylobone-Man]

naughty slugcats get thrown in the used void fluid (pickle juice)

[@SpremeCalami]

My take on the ending is that the fake shelter thing is an attempt at a synthesised version of the void sea. The Preservatory’s structure is clearly very iterator-like, and the purpose of the iterators was to find an alternative ascension method to the void sea, which was deemed too dangerous due to the echos. The similarities in the way you swim down and the background objects fade from permanence into nothing is far too similar to be coincidence. Also the buzzy humming as you approach the light. And experiencing the home tree. I think instead of properly ascending it puts you into a sort of stasis where you relive past memories of a time where you were at peace, instead of truly putting you at peace like the void sea does. It is interesting that, though unable to perform research on a state that cannot be returned from, the ancients/iterators came remarkably close to simulating ascension in a crooked, cold, laboratorial way. At first I questioned whether the ancients had managed to get a live void worm in captivity for research and use in testing this synthesised void seas, because clearly they are extremely important to the ascension process (though it is unknown exactly why/how) thanks mostly to the Saint’s ending but also any ascension ending in general. But then I started thinking the opposite. Ascension was not properly performed, only a pale imitation of it, and I think this may be because of the lack of void worms present. It is one of the starkest differences when you swim down into the darkness and see nothing in the background, compared to the view in the void sea. If a void worm was present to aid the ascension process then who knows what would have happened, or if it would indeed survive if extracted from the void sea, or again if it would have even accepted the slugcat in it’s caged state. Definitely food for thought, I love this kind of thing so much. A really great expansion on the lore, providing so many unanswered questions for us to ponder over

[@sullivanhouse4697]

This takes place a long long after every other scugs campaigns, in the far future. This is no significant harassment's superstructure, or rather...was Or maybe it's a superstructure on the other side of the world or something. The point is.... They found a solution. One of them managed to create or collect void fluid. Probably from karma flowers or creatures who ate them. The second option could explain some of the test tubes, creatures who have eaten the karma flowers and now we're being extracted from. But my personal favorite is the first one. They managed to create void fluid from karma flowers, making a purposed organism to grow/maintain them or something. But the solution isn't. . . Complete per say. Or maybe they stopped there and that was good enough. The sheer amount of fluid in these rooms makes me believe that it's not all pure void. It might have been mixed with something else or diluted. Which is why instead of ascending completely you just stay there... Lethargic and Frozen. You essentially go to a "heaven" in your mind, but it's just your most cherished memories... repeating. Then you're transfered to a tube or container like all those other lizards and the "shelter" is empty for another unsuspecting specimen. This iterator most likely made the symbol like a den to draw every single person who passes it by inside. Remember that these iterators has been searching for a solution for centuries, and now that they found one they're not going to let anyone pass it up. Finding a solution was just the first part of their purpose, and they must fulfill the second. As for the iterator... They're gone. This takes place in the far... Far future. No more iterators, or very little left. Thus the place remained unmaintained. And this is what happened because of it... Those grey lizards ... Are what happens when the specimen spends enough time outside of the fluid. The test tubes have been cracked and worn overtime and started breaking, draining, and releasing. Those lizards are a product of what happens when a specimen no longer has the fluid to maintain that lethargic state. They become gray and lifeless, their eyes look hollow...and they're lost and confused. These specimens are reduced down to their bare instincts. As for a lizard, which I'm guessing these lizards used to be red lizards, those there instincts are to eat and survive. If this were to happen to a slug cat it would be the same thing. Not even mating would happen as they wouldn't seek out each other. Eat, survive, eat, survive. But hey, that's just a theory...

That ending is brutal, but really is it that different from the void sea? You're still lost in an eternal dream bliss, the only difference is this chamber preserves your body. I wonder if you come here as Spearmaster or Artificer first, will they still be in the chamber when you play as Survivor?

[@Wylde_]

@grungegirl18 personally, the void isn't that bad because you are letting go of your earthly desires on purpose opposed to this where you are tricked into the chamber and forced to have a blissful dream, there's also the fact the void has no chance of you coming back when this dream does have a chance of you coming back and that can lead to some problems like the slug mixing dream with reality and wondering where it's family went. I think the lizards of the region are the best example of that because they look insane from their eyes and they're all hyper aggressive and attack on sight with a blood thirst never seen before.

[@tuktuk5179]

(SPOILER: WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST) It makes me wonder if the lizards present in the preservatory are lizards that were somehow let out of their preservation tanks, be it due damage to the structure or whatnot. It would explain their uniform "pickled" color, due to being submerged for so long it probably removed any pigment they had (except for white lizards for some reason.) Also it could explain why their all so aggressive. Being in a dreamlike state for years, possible decades or even centuries, then being woke up probably uncomfortably would piss me off too. I also saw that their eyes aren't fully filled like the other lizards which is probably due to them being in the dark for so long.
