Hello Greg.

 

I have one question about the BIONICLE Storyline : 

When did the Matoran Universe inhabitants learn how to speak Agori ? We can see in the Comics that Takanuva and Gresh are talking, but how ?

 

And...

Is it possible to have an autograph by your hand ? 

 

Thanks a lot


1) I believe we put that out as having been a gift from Mata Nui.

2) I don't see how, off the top of my head


Okay, nice one you've got one point here. 

 

And more seriously, professional adress to contact you about this ? Send a letter, a document you can sign ?


I've been asked about this a time or two before, and the problem is, if I do it once I have to do it for anybody that asks and it could go a little overboard (though probably not as much as it would six or seven years ago Smile )

What kind of poison does the Kraata poison power create? Is it a standard poison for everything, or does the poison created change based on what's being poisoned? If it's a one-poison-destroys-all, what kind of toxin is it? Some kind of acid? a neurotoxin?

Does Krakha (might have misspelled that... the shapeshifting rahi) have to assume someone's form in order to use their power if she's already done it once before?

How was Kojol assigned to Artakha if nobody knew where it was? Did he get the location because he was the only one who knew where it was, or did he learn of it because he was assigned there? How did he know where it was when nobody else did?

 

How did nobody figure out where Artakha was, considering it was a huge island in MN's shoulder near some important locations like Karzahni and Metru Nui, even after Tobduk took care of most of the people who knew?

 

What was Miserix's assigned region? Considering the number of Makuta when they were assigned a region (many), and the number of islands (few), did some Makuta share regions?

 

Does one have to pass through Karzahni to get in or out of Metru Nui?

Wait a second. Takanuva and Gresh were talking BEFORE Mata Nui used up his final energy on Spherus Magna. Perhaps the language is the same, or pre-programmed into the MU inhabitants as an alternative language?

No. The red star does not work on antidermis.


How come? Was it an additional failsafe against the Makuta, like the Golden Armor?

Personally, I would see it more as a computer virus.

Yes. She does not permanently gain the powers of anything she has ever looked like. That would make her way too powerful for the story.

1) It was not the case that "no one knew where it was" at the time Kojol was assigned there. Remember, Tobduk's mission to kill everyone who did know if it took place after that assignment, so there had to have been more than one being who knew where it was.

2) There are places in our world that are secret. There are tribes that have not had human contact, there are military bases whose locations are classified ... I certainly think it is possible. If there isn't something on that island someone needs -- a natural resource, for example -- then why would anyone go there? You might know the island existed, but not know that is where Artakha is.

 

3) Since Miserix led the BOM, he either would not have had a region or it would have been the area around Destral. And no, in general Makuta did not share regions.

 

4) No. A lot of traders went in and out of Metru Nui over the years, most  by ship, so they were not passing through Karzahni.

Why do you assume the gift would only be given when Mata Nui was using his final energy? Wouldn't Mata Nui have wanted them to be able to communicate if the Glatorian and Toa had to fight side by side?

Basically, it would have required having a duplicate of every piece of equipment on the RS, which would have required the RS to be way too big.

But Lehrak used his staff to poison rocks... and a computer virus can't affect a rock.

 

Plus it was always said that the Lehrak's staff poison's everything it touches...and inanimate objects don't have any programming.

Probably not ... but on the other hand ... how much do we know about the nature of protodermis? Outside of EP, which we know occurs naturally, we do not know it to be a natural substance. We do not know how the GBs shaped it. Could it be something that has to be "programmed" in some sense to take on a particular shape and function? I don't know, but it's interesting to think about.

Yeah, it's very interesting to think about these things. Every "fantasy universe" has it's own rules that show how it differs from our own "real life".

On those rocks, they weren't made from protodermis though... they were regular rocks, created by Mata Nui's camo system. (right?) Speaking of his camo system, did it make the tropical island every time he landed, or only that last time when it broke? if it was only the last time, what purpose did the bohrok serve before then?

On the poison power, it seems to me that since it was a "poison" power, not a "neurotoxin" power, an "acid" power, or some kind of "virus" power, that it just makes whatever poison fits the target... for those rocks it was some kind of volatile glowing green fluid. Our world's natural laws might not always be applicable to BIONICLE's world, but that's the beauty of science: it's a universal idea. Every world has natural laws to be discovered.
I'm having various technical issues with the reply system, anyone else having this?
