Dear Greg Farshtey,

I had been reading Bionicle Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets, and had some questions regarding the new informatoin.

1) Is the Codrex the means of propulsion that caused the toa mata to end up on the surface, such as a cannon or teleporter?
1a) If it is their means of transport, is it a cannon or teleporter (or some other fairly technological means)?

2)
If it is not, is the Codrex a means of contacting the Great Spirit? I
guessed it would be logical to have his Saviors to be close to him.
After all, how would their canisters be launched? (I seriously doubt it
was a message by trained Nui-Rama).
2a) If so, I assume that that is where the keystones lead to correct?

3) Have all the Avohkah been delt with?
3a) If not, are they in any way related to the lightning that transformed the Inika, or is it purely from the red star itself?

4)
Are the Avohka in any way related to the Avohkii, or is it just a name
coincidence due to the prefix given to light related beings and objects?

5) Are the transformations of Matoran to Bohrok due to the mutagen?
5a)
If so, is it because they are Av-Matoran, as in the type of matoran?
Because Sarda (or Idris, can't remember) didn't look half like bohrok
when mutated.

6) Are kratanas' visions based on who has last
handeled them? Because I'm guessing Makuta last handeled the one that
had attacked Onewa, and the OoMN leader had last handled the other one,
giving the respective visions.

7) The Codrex was the thing in the background of the cover for Swamp of Secrets, right?

I understand if you can't answer any or all of the questions.

~Sincerely, DH554

I was searching through BS01 for pics of takanuva, when I
looked at the paragraph about the message he was to deliver. I have a
few questions about it:

1) Takanuva's message is for the Toa
Nuva to take all the Av-matoran and good beings and get them refuge in
the Codrex (sort of like Noah's Ark, right?), correct?

2) Will
the storm in Karda-Nui affect the livelyhood of the other places, like
Xia and Metru-Nui? (because I remember a theory a BZPer had, that
Karda-Nui supplied most of the power in the world, like for
lightstones)

3) Was the massive storm the reason Makuta was looking forward to the awakening of Mata-Nui?
3a) If so, is he only at the beggining of the Plan, middle, or finishing it up?

Thanks in advance,
~DH554

Hey Greg

I just read Swamp of Secrets and have a few questions regarding it:

1. While writing the book, was your main focus on the battles in the swamp, or was it on the flashbacks?

2. Here's a quote from the book:

Just to make sure, the 'water' reffered to in the sentence is Pit Mutagen, correct?

2a. If 'yes,' I'm guessing the reason they came into contact with it is that, like the Nuva, they didn't know it was Mutagen. They went in it to search for the Ignika and came out mutated. Is this correct?

2b. If the answer to 2a. is 'no,' could you state how they came into contact with the Mutagen?

3. Do the Makuta in Karda Nui know what will happen to Karda Nui if Mata Nui were to awaken? I'm guessing Teridax knows but 'forgot' to mention it.

4. Does Helryx's idea about Takanuva's destiny have anything to do with him stopping the energy storm?

5. Will The Final Battle begin with the fight at the end of Swamp of Secrets?

Thanks

1. Did Helryx give Mazeka the Swamp Strider

2. Is Mazeka's Swamp Strider the same one from BL10?

Is Karda Nui always in an energy storm when Mata Nui is awake?

Hello Greg, hope you're well.

I was recently reading the OGD, and read a post in which you stated that the KN Energy Storms are consistent as long as Mata Nui is awake and active. Could this phenomena something natural to Karda Nui, in the sense that the storms come from the surrounding area itself, or are the storms a sort of "metaphor" for the sheer power Mata Nui Himself has?

I'm just wondering because to me it would make sense if these "energy storms" were actually bolts of raw power that the 700,000+ giant could emit off himself (sort of like emitting crackles of energy here and there due to the powerhouse he is) because, well, he's the most powerful and largest character we've heard of yet.

Hope to hear back from you soon. Good day.

I'm confident with the theory that Mata Nui is the universe itslef- I mean, look how tall he is, the two holes in Mata Nui (Island) are like his eyes, Metru Nui's like his brain, which is why it's so important to his health, Karda Nui is like his heart.

1) Sorry, I meant to say 'guesses', not proof. But am I anywhere near to the truth? Or in the right direction?
4) Is this weapon capable of destroying a Makuta?

~~~~
1) (Off topic) What is your favourite Dr Who episode so far?
2) Is Vamprah more warrior than scientist, or vise versa?
3) Can you reveal what sort of change 2009 will take yet? Will it go back to the more 'tropical' theme, or something?

Thankyou in advance.

I could have sworn that years ago, maybe '03-04 or so, a member asked Greg why when turned upside-down, the island of Mata Nui looked like a face. Greg replied that it would have future significance. I know that he would never answer this question now, but for my own sanity's sake, do any of you older members recall this?

1) I can't discuss the nature of Mata Nui, because it deals with future storyline
4) I will let you in on a secret -- it's not a weapon like a gun or a bomb. The weapon he was referring to was knowledge.

1) The Empty Child
2) Hunter, more than anything else
3) No, I can't discuss anything to do with 2009, we are still five months away from that.
