So, something else from Distant Worlds that I got to thinking about tonight:

It is mentioned that the giant supercomputer that the Aballonians built- Epoch- can only communicate in strange language that sounds like prophecy but is indecipherable to the Aballonian logic.

What if it isn't just their logic that is keeping it from effectively communicating, but the death of prophecy itself that turned the computer into a babbling AI? Aroden's death/sacrifice and the loss of prophecy makes all of its communications nothing more than garbage in/garbage out?

Or it just sounds like prophecy. In reality, it could be the universe's greatest poem generator.


Just got my copy of issue 5 of Mummy's Mask: The Slave Trenches of Hakotep. I haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet here on the boards, but there is a bit about a countdown clock in the Slave Trenches here.

Spoiler:
The Amber Chronograph, on page 25. While it is still maddeningly vague about the nature of the countdown clocks, it does note that hieroglyphs on the clock correspond to orbits of the 11 planets of Golarion's solar system, and that each of the planets corresponds to one of the Sekrepheres of the slave trenches. As each of the Sekrepheres is associated with one of the 11 gods of Old Osirion- Osiris, Horus, Isis, Thoth, Khepri, Ptah, Maat, Sekhmet, Ra, Sobek, or Set- there might be a connection of some sort, or at the very least possibly a connection between the gods and the planets somehow.

Or possibly not, as the Amber Chronograph is noted as dating to the Age of the Black Sphinx, some 1000 years later than the building of the trenches. Good place for some speculation nevertheless.
