** The Professor living or dying is far from the only factor in the domino effect of Booster v0.8 that can be explained. Examples follow:
*** The Tow Rope is in the Core Room and you can use it to attach Curly to your back and carry her out of the water to safety, then learn how to drain her and allow her to restart. This seems utterly mysterious given the Tow Rope and Booster v0.8 have two completely different functions. However, the Traveler carrying both a jetpack and a whole other person on his back is highly improbable at best, and if he was using the jetpack to quickly move through the water he most likely would not even get close enough to see the tow rope in the actual story. Without the jetpack present to begin with, the chance of the rope catching his eye is far more likely, and he doesn't have the dilemma of having to drop a key item that he knows he was given for a reason to ''maybe'' rescue a drowned robot.
*** If you talk to the Ma Pignon before or without saving Curly and then talking to her, he immediately doubts your claim to have business with him. Do so afterwards and the trick with the Mushroom Badge and ensuing fight happen and you can claim him after beating him. [[spoiler:The Traveler will have just seen Curly's bout of amnesia and be actively seeking the 'shroom out to restore her memories, thus his affirmative answer would not be betrayed by obvious hesitation.]]
*** [[spoiler:With her memories restored, Curly will give you the Iron Bond, signifying your ties together. The Iron Bond also functions as something of a badge that will enable you to enter the Prefab building. This, along with the fact that Booster knows Quote is an android yet does not seem to fear him, hints that the research team and the operation to destroy the Demon Crown may have been connected.]]
** The Last Cave has a very different layout and includes the Red Ogre. [[spoiler:The Doctor may have learned that more of the Mimiga's allies were able to escape the Labyrinth and prepared accordingly.]]
** [[spoiler:There will be a crack in the floor of the Prefab building after defeating the Undead Core, instead of a bookshelf entry about the Booster being incomplete. This crack leads to the Blood Stained Sanctuary, where Curly can be discovered unconscious at the end of the first area. The professor and Curly may have both accessed the building before Quote found it, the former returning to finish his work on the Booster and the latter seeking to enter the sanctuary to complete her original purpose which she alone remembered.]]

* In the Labyrinth,[[spoiler: you go along with Curly and obliterate everything in your path at one point. In these areas, there are plenty of eggs which seem to be guarded by the armored cockroach creatures. Since the creatures are there to protect the core, it's implied that these eggs contain more creatures/protectors. You destroy them all (possibly not all, but certainly alot a lot of them) while fighting through this area, so that means you just destroyed their upcoming generation. This doesn't seem that bad since most of the creatures are hostile; but as proved by the Shop and Clinic in the Labyrinth, there are plenty of them that are thinking creatures with feelings. You just killed those too. Made worse when possibly all of them are intelligent creatures, considering that they're just doing a job.]]

* Why does Santa have a deathtrap in his house? Well, consider ''why'' spikes would be there in the first place. [[spoiler:Pretty much everything red in the game ties in some way to Ballos's runaway power - the red flowers are caused by him, the Demon Crown he created regenerates as long as he's alive, and the Last Cave that's roughly adjacent to the Sanctuary is filled with red enemies and pools of damaging red lava. The spikes are ''also'' red. All the spikes in the game were also generated by Ballos's magic, appearing wherever it's least convenient. It's almost a miracle Santa has the ''only'' house that's been breached by them.]]

when the first area is called first cave.... yeah, the plantation is not the first cave you are in.

**** Considering he'd already just fell a huge distance, I don't think that's it. It's likely that [[spoiler:Booster used the...well, Booster]] for spare parts to fix the teleporter, make it back to Arthur's house and heal himself. Thing is, in the path to the bad ending, with player getting trapped down in the pit, [[spoiler:Booster]] figured out that you needed to get out more than he did so you could save the day, thus he was unable to heal his own wounds. -@/{{InfinityAlex}}
