Deconstruction Zone Prisoners?
Thu, 06/23/2011 - 08:31
I was just wondering... Why are there enemies behind locked gates? Were they insubordinates that were locked up or something? Or did they accidentally lock themselves in and no one cared enough to let them out?

They have the key in there
They have the key in there with them. If they're in there against their will, they could "escape" at any time.
Most likely it's a little room set aside as a workshop.

That makes sense, but what about the spare key locked up in another room and the powered down mecha knights?

The powered down Mecha
The powered down Mecha Knights are slated for deconstruction and salvaging.
The "empty" rooms with a key and minerals are probably storage rooms. Wouldn't you want to lock your shinies away?
I guess the key is there because some idiot Gremlin dropped it there before they closed the door.

Derp
The keys only work from the outside, making it safe to store prisoners and extra keys together.

These're Gremlins we're
These're Gremlins we're talking about, they can surely build a mechanical arm that can pick up the guy, reach way over the gate, and stick it into the slot to open the door.
...Besides, why would you even store the keys with the prisoners. What if you had to retrieve the key?

Maybe to taunt them, as a form of torture. Escape is so near yet so far.

They totally couldn't hop over those 2ft high blocks that surround them.

maybe that should be in an update, the ability to jump. Just give us some chasms so it has a purpose.

Jumping? I dunno. That sounds a little unwise...
>maybe that should be in an update, the ability to jump. Just give us some chasms so it has a purpose.
There is a significant problem with that idea, methinks. What happens if you miss? This may introduce a means to avoid paying energy at lifts...
Enthusiastic Knight sez: "Alright, we reached the elevator! GO TEAM!!! XD"
Cheapskate Knight sez: "Elevator? You chumps can waste your CE if you want, but I'm gonna take a shortcut."
Skeptical Knight sez: "Shortcut? What do you mean?"
Cheapskate Knight: /me jumps over the lip of the metal-plated clockworks platform, out into the vast open space beyond...
Cheapskate Knight sez: "YAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaarg --Totally worth it! -- BLAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaah...!!"

Maybe something like this
Maybe something like this happened.
But they always have a key with them. I think they locked themselves in with the key in an attempt to keep it from knights.
