| Feb 21, 2018 at 14:20 | comment | added | Roijan says reinstate Monica | I agree with @Kexlox. The inhabitants of Laputa are called Laputans, so this seems plausible. It seems entirely possible the "laputan machine" is either one which uses magnetic levitation or astronomy, or more generally is one that is highly technical but serves no practical purpose. | |
| Feb 21, 2018 at 4:59 | comment | added | Kexlox | I haven't played the original Deus Ex games, but Laputa was a land in Gulliver's Travels, populated by people who were very focused on knowledge, astronomy, microscopy, etc. They lived on a levitating island, but couldn't build straight buildings because they used sextants and telescopes instead of tape measures. Don't know if that's relevant to Gunther, but it's what immediately jumped out. | |

| Feb 21, 2018 at 4:47 | comment | added | Tas | From the wiki (not sure if this is what you're looking for): "Navarre's killphrase, Flatlander Woman, is a reference to the novel Flatland, by Edwin A. Abbott, about people living in a two-dimensional world, in which women are just lines. They are invisible when seen edge-on, and dangerous because they are very sharp and can inadvertently cut people in half. The killphrase is a reference to Navarre's cloaking power and her deadliness." | |
