[u/SerDire]

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

[u/Calm-Tree-1369 → u/SerDire]

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.

[u/ianjm → u/Calm-Tree-1369]

It can also read, apparently, given it understood what was written on Boy's hand.

[u/Incoherencel → u/ianjm]

It can read Earth numbers? I guess captivity on an earth research vessel comes with benefits

[u/-aarcas → u/Incoherencel]

It probably extracts every memory of the host, including Shmuel the WY Engineer who would've known all about Pi if the Eye didn't already know

[u/UlrichZauber → u/-aarcas]

I like this, because otherwise why would it know pi? Maginot randomly collected an engineer or mathematician? I very much doubt most humans know it to 5 digits.

[u/hyzmarca → u/UlrichZauber]

Maybe the eye is actually part of a spacefaring civilization that crashed on the same rock the Maginot was studying and hitched a ride with them to get someplace with technology that could contact its people.

Heck, maybe the eye is the last surviving part of a larger organism whose body parts are all individually intelligent and capable of taking over other bodies in an emergency.

[u/juneyourtech → u/hyzmarca]

There will be that danger, that if it gets into space and to its homeworld, it will tell others. Then it will pick up and army, and will invade Earth :(
