So, I've been searching through trello finding story and talking to the Devs and playtesters and I've found out what seems to be one of the most important parts of the story, It is now known that the Sea Emperor is being held captive by a secret organisation in the Inactive Lava Zone, The Sea Emperor is an intelligent creature that is not an enemy to the player, So you must do the right thing and free it from it's prison, which is also guarded by turrets you must disable or destroy, So what could this organisation want with the Sea Emperor? Well I've been looking and I think I've worked something out, Do you know the DNA sampling machine? (forgot the name of it, Sorry) well I'm thinking this organisation is experimenting with gene splicing and creating new creatures through combining DNA, As you may have expected this thought did not come from nowhere, What do we know that looks like a combination of the Sea Emperor and a certain other creature? That's right the Sea Dragon Leviathan, It looks far too different from the Emperor to be naturally related, However what it does look like is a mashup of the Lavalizard and the Emperor, Now you may think of the differences in the head of the Lavalizard most notably the huge split in both its upper and lower jaw well if you look at the Sea Emperor model on Fox3D (I will link things I mentioned below) and zoom in on the area of the mouth you can see a groove in the middle on the top jaw and bottom that looks somewhat like a split jaw that has fused together, It also has arms which are extremely similar in appearance to the Lavalizards, Further supporting the DNA fusion theory is a concept art showing a Peeper an Oculus and a Peeper colored fish with an Oculus tail and no beak (like an Oculus) It definitely looks like a DNA fusion, But then again since the Peeper and the Oculus are clearly two closely related fish it could be a natural hybrid.
So what could this organisation gain from creating the Sea Dragon? Idk.
Oh and it's also likely that whoever or whatever imprisoned the Emperor also took down the Aurora, as the Auroras mining mission probably would have led to their discovery, And it is confirmed people have been on this planet before as shown by the dilapidated bases on the Floater island and in the Jellyshroom caves.
That's all I've got so far, Let me know your thoughts on this.
