CarkaJack Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What do you think the Bahrag will do now that their destiny is complete?Personally, I think they'll rent out the Bohrok swarms for use in construction and whatever else. (Unless of course, the Bohrok are hard-wired to do nothing but clean Mata Nui's face up. In that case, I think they'll just go to sleep)Or, they could just do what they did to the Kal to all the other Bohrok and make them... less... dumb I guess. Quote 2! The best thing ever!

Taipu1 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I reckon the Matoran/Turaga/Toa will remember how the Bohrok helped the first time, and will be able to remove their krana and get them to help rebuild again. I don't think the Bahrag would have any say in such a decision. I've never been clear on the Bahrags level of understanding of the universe. Clearly they knew the importance of the Bohrok swarms and its purpose, but they didn't seem too aware of when it needed doing, and that when the Island of Mata Nui was inhabited, destroying it would be inappropriate. So there's no telling how they'll react to the swarms no longer being needed. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

The Iron Toa Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Exactly -- Velika is killing off special and powerful beings (we no longer need spoiler tags for this), and the Bahrag fit into that category, especially if they can still command the Bohrok. I wonder if Greg had them in mind as targets for future chapters.

bonesiii Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I do think it makes sense he might use the Bahrag to destroy others first. A bit of a stretch, but they have the right "obsession with programming" attitude. But I presume he would have to be able to do a bit of reprogramming first. And then after he was done using them he would also destroy them, methinks.If, however, he couldn't reprogram them, then I don't think he could use them. Killing people was never part of their mission; even when they were Cleaning they would Krana-ify people rather than kill. He would have to get them to accept his reprogramming on the basis of his authority as a Great Being, which might be possible.

bonesiii Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I would suggest that the fact that you don't understand why Velika could see the Bahrag as a threat applies as well to the Toa Mata, many of the beings in the fortress, and maybe even to the villains he killed -- and that this is the whole point. It's a mystery what his motives are.But the one thing that seems certain is that he is systematically wiping out powerful beings. The Bahrag certainly qualify.We don't know why he wants to wipe out powerful beings -- that seems to be the important question right now.

The Iron Toa Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Actually, while the Bahrag are powerful beings like those Velika has targeted, they don't seem to have the same mental independence. They're very... programmed, is what I mean. But then again, Karzahni was insane when he was killed.Anyway, your original post, CarkaJack, made me imagine the Bahrag starting a business. What could the Bohrok be? Demolitions? Landscaping? That would work -- but don't use them as janitors unless you want the whole building leveled.

The Matoran Universe inhabitants should try to get the Bohrok to help them scavenge the remains of their old world. They might have some trouble if they need to convince the Bahrag to order the Bohrok to do that, though, because the Bahrag seem very single-minded. They might not understand what's happened. And unless the GBs already had something planned for the Bahrag upon the end of Mata Nui's mission, I'd say that makes them a 'wild card'.

The Lord Of Wednesday Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not sure if they will get involved again, maybe. However in terms of someone using them, even I would apply some wisdom from H.P. Lovecraft "Do not conjure up what you cannot cast down". In this particular case, a swarm of Bohrok and even more deadly leaders is a bit much, I personally would rather then not be in my way or be in a position to be in my way, so rather then use them, I would have rather just gotten rid of them before they got too powerful. That is unless, Velika is so powerful that even at full power the Bahrag are useless, then again, I don't know if Velika is using devices or advanced tools to kill everyone or using some sort of raw power, or a mix of both.Either way I am just saying that I would rather get rid of them than try and using them only to have it create something of a set back.

Phovos Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I very much doubt that the Bahrag or the Bohrok swarms will really ever be of much importance ever again. Yes, they are powerful beings, but they are very narrow-minded. They did what they did then they shut up.Plus, plot-wise, we've already had the Bahrag and the swarms appear multiple times, 2002 and 2003 they were major/fairly major players. It would seem almost cruel to suddenly kill off two beings who have been silent for so long. Karzhani and whoever else he killed, they were both fairly active background characters, so it somehow made sense that they died. Not so much for two beings who, really, just sit on their backsides all day sleeping. Quote Click here to read The Bohrok-Kal's Ramblings!
