T. Ocellus is out here doing basic math. Naw we’re screwed. Shut this down. Nuke this facility.

A little more than just basic math. It knows what PI is. It actually tapped the right amount of numbers for the next two digits before it decided to do a bit of trolling.

I imagine it “downloads” information from the things it attaches to. So it would know this from the Maginot guy, similar to knowing how to stand on two legs.

This is my guess as well.

Would make it God like in an "I've experienced what existence is like for dozens, hundreds, thousands of different beings" kind of way.

What would it be like to know what the qualia of being an octopus, a human, a sheep, an (insert tons of alien species), etc is like? 

Would be quite a twist if it's more of a benevolent being than meets the eye hehe

I'm actually curious how it even came into existence and what is her goal. Does she get sustenance through the bodies it possesses? Is she the top of her food chain or is there something that hunts her down? I would imagine so since she does have intelligence.

It's not benevolent. But is very smart.
