If you get the tower report after you built a base and seatruck you can see that Alterra was going to send people to stop your illegal use of Alterra technology, Maida wanted the tower stopped so she could use you to do what she legally can't, just as she used your sister. she can't destroy it for the same reason Alterra can't touch her, to avoid corporate hostilities. Alterra keeps track of her with the radio tower in order to have evidence of their non involvement in her death. probably tying up ownership of the planet in court, Alterra can't get rid of her but if she dies due to no supplies then it's not their fault. She survived because she ate leviathan meat/blubber, and leviathans are somewhat immune to Khaara.Īlterra tolerates her because she is a survivor of the other corporation that crashed on the planet and when Alterra first came after the events in Subnautica she contacted her headquarters. My theories are based on what I have seen ingame and guesswork. Rant if you want, justify if you want, etc.

How does her bloodthirsty character fit in with any other theme of the game? If Robin never takes Maida's threats seriously from the start, why should the player? How does her Snow Stalker fit in the Prawn Suit with her? It's definitely not gonna swim the whole way. What's the point of *dealing* the tower at all? Not being looked at? She didn't have problems with that before. Maida would've just blown it up or dealt with it herself. Getting Robin to *deal* with the satellite tower is the opposite of her self-sufficient character. Why does she get prawn/base modifications that the player can not? She *really* floated on a dead Reaper's back, all the way from a tropical area to the equivalent of the Antarctic?

Why does she think Reapers have two eyes instead of four? The game forgot about that and their echolocation? Why did Alterra tolerate her in the middle of their bases? Why does nobody *else* ever acknowledge her existence? Conversely, why would Maida trust Sam when she hates Alterra? What made Sam decide this clearly well-balanced, rational, and well-spoken lady was someone to work together with? There's so many problems revolving around Marguerit Maida, I don't know where to begin.
