Talk:Providence/@comment-71.79.71.243-20140625030241

I think this is a lot simpler than it ll seems. Providence was defending the life that was on the ship about to be shipped out (for experimentation or otherwise). Providence had done well up to a point, when he tried to pursue the survivors. All that the survivors wanted was out and to go home and Providence threatened their lives. When they are finally about to leave Providence stands before them and their escape, leaving the survivors with no choice but to kill him. The survivors did not care about anything else all they wanted was to survive, even if some of them enjoyed the fight to some extent.

In fact think about it... he's the one hunting you (on difficulty it even says, I SEE YOU!, or I'M COMING FOR YOU!, HAHAHAHAHAHA!, not giving you breathing room until you become way too strong (which judging from some of the endings is by using drugs that empower/mutate you).  Who knows though maybe Providences goal was to turn all the survivors into monsters so they would have nowhere to return to allowing for life on that planet to exist peacefully.  Though I have to wonder if Providence lost himself hunting us, slightly enjoying it himself.
