Mad scientists aren't well known for thinking things through.implants a memory then seals it upon viewing? the fuck is even the point of that?
sure in the unintended consequences department (most people in general are shit at this, never mind regular scientists) but for mad scientists in specific everything is to further a goal... to us readers the goal has been made clear enough to infer... but the fuck is the intended function of re-sealing? it doesn't seem to further the goal at all!Mad scientists aren't well known for thinking things through.
It does though.sure in the unintended consequences department (most people in general are shit at this, never mind regular scientists) but for mad scientists in specific everything is to further a goal... to us readers the goal has been made clear enough to infer... but the fuck is the intended function of re-sealing? it doesn't seem to further the goal at all!
yea-no. your right in the sense of telling MC this info would prompt certain choices, but the message itself is pre-programmed. so this mad fucker needs to have anticipated a rejection response... in which case what purpose does leaving this message AND sealing the memory of it accomplish?It does though.
Because MC thought that the Octopus might probably be a creature similar to him (aka., a Human or some Animal turned to Monster).
Which is why he was planning to avoid eating any such creature in the future, because of the info he got from that Scientist. But as he would not remember that interaction, he won't avoid eating another specific creature in the future.
The whole scene was basically a exposition for use readers, while MC won't remember it later.
Maybe "sealing the memory" part only activates under certain condition.yea-no. your right in the sense of telling MC this info would prompt certain choices, but the message itself is pre-programmed. so this mad fucker needs to have anticipated a rejection response... in which case what purpose does leaving this message AND sealing the memory of it accomplish?![]()
