Talk:System Purge/@comment-69.124.140.100-20130602234103

We can hear Hadley and Sitterson in the control room asking where the gas is, so it is safe to assume the wires to activate the gas were cut by Marty, as one anonymous contibutor before me stated. However, my personal thesis is that the reason for the System Purge to exist in the first place is to actually kill all the monsters. Perhaps when the Ancient Ones wanted to use new monsters, and the Facility needed room?

In order to do this, the creatures would be somehow made docile (they do not attack each other during the Purge) and then released into the elevator processing lobby, where they would be gassed in waves of eight.

However, one hole in my theory is why not just release the creatures and let them kill each other off? Presumably there would still be some left, or a group (Dolls, the Doctors), in which case the lobby would still be used to gas them. As for being docile, maybe just the will of the Anceint Ones, or veiwng audience. Dues ex machina indeed.

Poor security force. They might have been there just to keep order among the workers (One might be dissilluisioned with evil gods after years of watching teenagers die horrifically) or in the event that there have been past Marty and Jules infiltrating the Facility. But what did actually cut or chew through the wires for the gas? The world may never know.
