The game is actually a bunch of dreams/hallucinations being had by a depressed trans (Notice how a Knight's gender is so vague? it practically changes the moment you put on the right armor) lady in a coma who tried to commit suicide by fire (Firestorm Citadel) after she lost her child (notice how adorable the knights are?) to an abusive husband (Vanaduck). Snarbolax is an unpleasant dog her neighbour owns (or a direct manifestation of a childhood fear) and Roarmulus Twins are disapproving abusive (possibly Asian) parents who raised her in a very strict and rigid, nearly mechanical fashion, and the Swarm is her resulting insanity.

When you open the core she wakes up having come to terms with herself and her past and ready to face the world as a better person

Yes, I am a fan of Yume Nikki, why do you ask?

I keep reading the WMG pages on TVTropes.org for various shows/things I like and since I play Yume Nikki I often stop by UBOAchan's /t/heory board and there are a number of stories like this floating around as "explanations" for various fictional franchises.

oh yeah, and creepypasta too.

George Ivring. The true enemy of Jim Dale.

A couple of gremlins furiously winding up the clockworks, and a phone with a pizza delivery place on speed dial.

Momoni. The god of this Galaxy. The Statue appeares in Haven and in a shrine in a clockwork lv. The Gun Puppies itself. Cradle being hollow if the clockworks was gone. Echo stones mean that it is traped in the core by Tinkinzar. The swarm being the opposite in the echo stones.

So in other words, Momoni was escaping the Swarm, it evil shadow. Tinkinzar was a member of a tribe of Gremlins that were becoming extinct due to the hollow planet breaking apart. He was shunned for his idea: A world of Biodomes that hold pieces of planets and are in a spinning slot, going down into a core/powersource, filling the entier planet! He was shunned because it was impossible with the limited tools they had.

Meanwhile, The Swarm chased Momoni to devour the god/goddess and destroying planets, only leaving a few remenats. She/he landed on Cradle and found the shunned thinker. She/he made a pact, she/he will create the materials and the remenats of planets to create the clockworks while he will create a dome that will defend and sheild Momoni from the Swarm.

It was a succes. Meanwhile Tinkinzar started to go mad with the stress of the creation of the Clockworks and realised that he didn't create the core. Now Momoni was sleeping to hide completely from the Swarm. So he decided to seal of the core and linked it up to the Clockworks, creating the power source.

Momoni was weakened and furious. The rage alerted the Swarm to her/his presence and started breaking through. When the knights crashed, the Alpha Squard tried to enter. The Swarm broke through and also allowed an entrace into the Core. The squad fought it off but was overwhelmed. Momoni then saved tham and resealed the Swarm to protect the Squad. The team is now recouperating. The memory of the betrayal still stayed and the Swarm tryed to break in again.

Tinkinzar, despite mad, was hailed as a hero and gained a title as King to lead them. He went paranoid and said for them to relocate into the Clockworks. He then created the Grand Colony stratum. He respected Momoni and created the Gun Puppy series in tribute.

Other desiens of the Clockworks worshiped Momoni as a god, hence the fact there are sceneario room statues. The strangers and Snipes left the clockworks to live on the surface, hence Haven. Also Chromas and Jellies in T1 inhabite the surface sometimes.

Long, but my explanation of things.

Lag.

My bets are either a god or a demon. Think the original King's Field intro (youtube it).

His true form man, he wants to get out and eat the universe. Or something. (Get revenge on all the vial throwers too)
He's in charge of the swarm too probably.

Nothing at all, its just something Three Rings Invented to have players play and re play and re play for ever, and players just wait for something that will never take place, not now or in the near future. i say this because im playing Sk ever since Beta since November 15, 2009 and three Ring told us the players during that time that the core was Suppose going to open before the official game realest including Heaven West Side that was in construction during Beta and it never took place in the official realest of the game. but players keep believing that horse crap about that core opening soon. may be a Teir 4 could open soon may be in the next future, but not now during your life time.

I would think the answer would be obvious,
What is in the core? This --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
R.I.P alpha squad

Either that or a door way to equestria, sure would be nice, and hey, we are just the right size to ride those ponies, AND we are knights after all? What is a knight without a noble steed?

of course one thing it could probably never be is that the core is a giant dynamo fueled by the life force of all that is on the planet, in essence the core is not actually the power itself but the power is ever flowing through everything cycling in and out charging things along the way and later re-absorbing things when they lose that charge, its just the hub where this process can best be witnessed.

And as for who made it probably the strangers, or what the strangers "used" to be, clearly they have undergone some sort of transformation to extend their existences that has altered them, probably ancient cyborgs that tried to harness the power of the planet but almost destroyed it so they built clockworks to preserve what was being destroyed and contain what they had started

The core is actually an Iron Lockbox.

The Architect's hidden room, with walls covered with television monitors.

Nitronome and Polaris spammers. Yup.

the final boss called.....CHUCK NORRIS O_0!!!

Basil.

We all know he's behind EVERYTHING.

I think it's pie. EVERYONE likes pie. Shut up haters.

But really there are rumors of a boss called the gremlin king.

I reckon it'll be another tier of floors (let's face it, the core itself is pretty massive, there's not just one wee thing there), and the main thing at the bottom would have somethin' to do with teh Alpha Squad; they're mentioned a bit too emphatically by the people sitting in the core for them to have nothing to do with it; either we rescue them, or they rescue us, or we fight them etc...
