| 10:26.41 | Liquid_Ink | Hello |
| 10:27.54 | Ghelae | Hello. |
| 10:28.16 | Liquid_Ink | How are you? |
| 10:28.29 | Ghelae | I'm okay; how about you? |
| 10:28.49 | Liquid_Ink | Pretty good |
| 10:28.56 | Liquid_Ink | Still on my Bionicle spree |
| 10:29.24 | Liquid_Ink | I've made a map of the Matoran Universe, which I keep editing and I don't want to spam tumblr with the constant revisions |
| 10:29.54 | Ghelae | Is there not an official map? |
| 10:31.01 | Liquid_Ink | Technically. It's from an official source, but it's seriously lacking in anywhere near the landmass the universe is implied to have. And the proportions are weird. |
| 10:31.17 | Liquid_Ink | http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/1/1b/Matoran_Universe.png This is the official one. |
| 10:31.43 | Ghelae | Ah. |
| 10:32.35 | Liquid_Ink | http://i.imgur.com/Jj8VQLq.png This is my rendition. |
| 10:35.49 | Ghelae | So are the islands in black, on your map, those that appear on the official map? |
| 10:37.07 | Liquid_Ink | Yes |
| 10:37.29 | Ghelae | And do the grey body and white seas and canals represent a real and visible part of the topography? |
| 10:38.00 | Ghelae | Oh, yes, if the description on the official map is anything to go by. |
| 10:38.49 | Ghelae | The circles/ellipses are domes and the lines are the connections between them? |
| 10:40.00 | Liquid_Ink | Yes |
| 10:40.35 | Liquid_Ink | Oh, that crosshair thing should be in grey. While it's a very real and canonical place, it's never been officially depicted like that. |
| 10:46.45 | Liquid_Ink | It's meant to be a high security prison, so I envisioned it as being a spherical fortress kept suspended in the middle of a large sphere build around the edge of its dome. |
| 10:49.08 | Liquid_Ink | Actually, I don't think the grey body is known to the inhabitance. Just the white sections. |
| 10:49.22 | Liquid_Ink | Though they'd obviously know about the dome walls. |
| 10:58.19 | Liquid_Ink | I'm fairly sure the total population that were fully aware of the fact they were inside a giant robot (before everyone was explicitly told) numbers less than a hundred. |
| 11:03.27 | Liquid_Ink | I gave a thought into how they could miss it with the shape of the universe, so I tried to make a map based on the inhabitance perspective. I greyed out everything outside the domes, removed the uncharted domes and canals, and switched it upside down (since North being upwards is a human cultural thing) |
| 11:03.28 | Liquid_Ink | http://i.imgur.com/FP7Yc83.png |
| 11:03.56 | Liquid_Ink | I also imagine they'd map it with the arms being splayed, but I didn't have the artistic skills to pull that off. |
| 11:07.32 | Liquid_Ink | If teleporting between domes is a thing that might make it more complicated. I imagine the hands have teleporters that lead into each other. |
| 11:23.14 | Ghelae | If exploring new places is difficult, like an uphill struggle, then it's actually reasonable for them to think of the unexplored areas along the arms and legs as being upwards. |
| 11:24.49 | Liquid_Ink | That's a good idea |
| 11:28.40 | Liquid_Ink | Although I think the reason they never explored the legs is because they were strategically worthless and resource poor. This opinion comes from large military powers, so maybe it is dangerous for peoples less concerned with strategical locations. |
| 11:57.26 | Liquid_Ink | There are features on my map I've forgotten the purpose of. The small islands surrounding Zakaz, for instance. |
| 12:07.10 | Liquid_Ink | Okay, I looked into it and figured this out: the character Reidak was originally mentioned as having been found on an island where he started a war leaving no two stones standing together. This could easily be interpreted as Zakaz itself, but some minor comments suggest it's a separate island. |
| 12:07.58 | Liquid_Ink | The wiki also suggests it was an island off the coast of Zakaz. So I placed several islands around it that essentially function the same way as the Zakaz; inhabited by the same people with the same social conditions, but smaller. |
