- I'd clearly separate focused adaptations (relatively close to the original)
- from radically "alternative" brainstorming ("what if?"s and "how to?"s).
- A summary of the "brilliant ideas" so far is outlined below. "WIP forever".

English adaptation
Random thoughts
Carmen
Cortana VS Gunman Chronicles
- Obviously reminiscent of Cortana at the start of the story: however, she's no one's guardian angel.
- There was a Carmen-like female AI in Gunman Chronicles.
- Likewise "in charge" of a huge base. Likewise more than a bit confused when things go wrong, and people start to die.
- She is your enemy at first, and then becomes your ally when you defeat her: she then abandons her collapsing infrastructure.
- From then on, you carry "her" around as a small module: she's a personal hacker/advisor then, very much like Cortana.
- Towards the end of the game, she gets a physical body (first a "female robot", then a huge battle mecha).
- (Disclaimer: I never played Halo, but I played and enjoyed Gunman Chronicles: varied, challenging)
- (there are raptors there, BTW) (raptors on one planet, mechas on another, cyborgs on both) (hehe)

Zoo
- Reminder: the original Zoo is populated by:
- Lazarus the "wolfman" and his pack of wolves
- A multitude of identical cannibal gnomes
- Vampire bats
- Piranhas
- Raptors
- That's a rather limited bestiary/ecosystem.
- E.g., it is not clear what everyday life in the Zoo would be like, if it wasn't for intruders (Eve & Emily, Jackson's team).
- I.e., does Anderson feed them all separately, and if not, what do they all eat? Surely not each other?
- geyser 21:22, 15 February 2007 (CET)
- Idea: the Zoo becoming Eve's Dream (mirroring her concealed fears)
- Or the real zoo is a horrid place where experiments gone wrong are stored:
- deform things, brainless masses of muscles and living tumors, maybe some
- more sentient forms of life...
- Guido
- I second the first idea, but only in part. It's a bit too radical to completely virtualize "Part 3", IMO...
- On the other hand, the Zoo can give Eve vivid nightmares a posteriori. A "Return to the Zoo" of sorts.
- geyser 21:22, 15 February 2007 (CET)
- I second the first idea. The Zoo concept gave me the same a priori impression.
- Chimeras don't have to as perfectly "sensible" as Cora and Lazarus (catwoman, wolfman).
- Cross-breeding animals (or plants) gives you its share of true monsters. Real ugly ones.
- Heck, you don't even need fiction... Ever heard of teratology? Talk about creepy...
- "Deform things, brainless masses of muscles and living tumors"... exactly. Raptor food galore ^^
- And even sentient forms can be very unfamiliar and/or awkward.

Examples of creepy mutants
Disclaimer: haven't played either game yet. May buy SE:E soon (for several reasons).
SiN Episodes: Emergence
- Mutants
- image URL coming soon
- Boss
- image URL coming soon
Hellgate:London
- Stalkers (raptor substitutes)
- image URL coming soon
- Grotesque (err...)
- image URL coming soon
- Etc
Cora
- Catwoman is an obvious reference (Michelle Pfeiffer rather than Halle Berry for me)
- Also (maybe not too relevant) here are pics of the Cabalist from Hellgate:London :
- (she's supposed to be "good" but she's playing with fire and can thus join the "dark side" (2nd pic))
- (note the padded garnments (reminiscent of Barabas's) and the different aspect of the skin in the 2 pics)
- geyser 21:22, 15 February 2007 (CET)
- The 2nd pic (WITH FRIENDS) could be part of a nightmare ("Return to the Zoo").
- Can Cora and Carmen merge? In Eve's nightmares, they certainly can.
