Editing Quest:Ruby Quest/Theories (section)

====Ace is an Android, or Some Form of Bio-Mechanical Construct====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

<s>He still goes as the only person in the entire facility, apart from the late Red, who has not shown a single evidence of being infected or mutated, even though supposedly being staff, he would have been ordered with the same medication the rest of the facility inhabitants were on.</s> '''RULED OUT BY TENTACLE FACE'''

First and foremost, he would be bound by the classic Three Laws of Robotics: By rule 1, he took Ruby's body and made her well again, at the first opportunity went at Red's corpse to see if he could have been helped, and he has never actually physically harmed anyone, nor allowed anyone to come to harm. By rule 2, he is following somebody's orders, though it is not known whose, and cannot seem to function properly without being ordered. And by rule 3, he escaped after being seriously injured, in a form of self-preservation.

When Tom stabbed him with a crowbar, his "blood" was black - though it was red when speared by a hook, implying that he does have some biological parts - and he did not seem very inconvenienced about it, pursuing Ruby and Tom with similar ferocity - under somebody's orders, most likely. Those orders would have involved about him bringing one or both of them alive to his superior(s), but the harpoon went against it: Perhaps his commander had invoked the Rule Zero in him, allowing him to break the rule 1 and kill someone, if it would help the entire mankind? Perhaps, to stop the spreading of the infection, Ruby and Tom, as well as everyone else inside, must be gotten rid of?

...Or perhaps Ruby and Tom were the primary targets, being the only ones left inside who were both infected, and still had enough sense in them to actively try and escape, spreading the disease to the rest of the population? They must be destroyed! Or at least destroyed enough to mutate them and drive them mad, so that they wouldn't try to escape anymore!

''Ehh, seems a bit far-fetched, but I put it here anyway.''
