==FACILITY THEORIES==
Put theories concerning the nature of the facility itself here.

===== Asylum =====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

The facility is a real installation deep underwater. Any FUCK YOU PHYSICS incidents are hallucinations or illusions.

===== SCIENCE! =====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

The facility is a real installation deep underwater. However, for some reason it does not abide by normal physics. It does not abide by normal physical laws because of science fiction technology.

===== Meddlesome Elder Gods =====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

The facility is a real installation deep underwater. Strange physics and other supernatural occurrences are, well, supernatural. Clearly, the facility dug too greedily, and too DEEP.
The facility workers may or may not have had an idea of what they were getting into.

===== Changing Spaces =====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

During Tom's second imprisonment and Ruby's first blackout, the facility was not repaired/cleaned. Instead, they were both moved to a different but similar set of rooms. This supports non-supernatural explanations.

===== The Facility is Alive =====
'''VIABLE'''

There was a growth coming from the wall and unexplained amounts of blood have appeared/disappeared.

Also, in light of recent sessions, eyeseyesgrowthsgrowthssixsix.

'''Courses of action suggested by this theory: Treat #6 nicely. Give scissors. Run like fuck.'''

===Broken Physics Brig Room===
=====Red Caused The Rift=====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

Red caused the enormous rift when he "cut ???" in Ruby's vision-hallucination-whiteout that occurred after Stitches gave her the cross peg.

=====Broken Physics Room Linked to Stitches=====
'''UNLIKELY'''

During Tom's sojourn in the broken physics room in part five (after finding the walkie-talkies) he witnessed the rift widening. From our POV, it widened toward the top-left of the screen. 

This was near the moment in time that Ruby had her second (third?) encounter with Stitches- she witnessed Stitches' head begin to fall apart, with the top-left (from Ruby's POV) section becoming unstitched and falling away. This theory will be made more plausible if the broken physics room continues to correlate with Stitches' physical condition. Ha-HA! Take THAT, causality!

'''Courses of action suggested by this theory: Think about keeping Stitches intact, calm, and relatively safe, at least until the Broken Physics Room is no longer needed or useful.'''

===The disease, or the "cure", or whatever===
====The "cure" is akin to Nemesis parasite====
'''PLAUSIBLE'''

For those unfamiliar to Resident Evil series, this would mean that the disease regenerates all physical wounds quickly, but at the same time adds severe mutation. When Ruby's forehead was cut, she received a third eye. Tom got poisoned - or, more conveniently, slashed to the stomach by Ruby - and mutated another pair of arms. Filbert mutated both his right hand and the cheek Ruby attacked him in. And so on.

And all the time, #6 sits in his cell and cuts himself, thinking that these mutations are "power".

'''Courses of action suggested by this theory: Do not get hurt. You will end up a shapeless blob on the ground.

<strike>Also check under Tom's eyepatch. Like, right NOW.'''</strike> His eyesocket is perfectly fine and uninfected, upon cursory examination.

====The "cure" is the cells of some kind of monstrosity found while digging in the facility====
'''INDETERMINATE STATUS'''
Basically, see [[Ruby_Quest_Theories#Old_One_Collapse|Old One Collapse]]. The doctors found the dummy or the remains of Cjopaze or whatever while excavating the brig or cold storage, and treated the patients with that. This is contagious only by blood contact (such as consuming infected flesh or blood (such as Jay's in the water system)), causes rapid regeneration and mutation, and will wear off after a while, but the mutations will remain.

'''Courses of action suggested by this theory: Get Jay out of the water filtration system, then weld the door shut so Ace can't put someone else in there. Burn the dummy and fetus statue, it's likely that one of them is the source of the cells.
