could any of the characters we havent seen yet be an industrialist?
 
Well so far Abe and Munch are considered naturelist. What if squeek or Nod or who ever else would be considered industrialist's? It would be a twist to the story. An industrialist who does not like the way his life is like and he wants to join the naturalist community and bring an end to the Magog Cartel. Sounds odd. A Magog spiecies bringing an end to his own society. How would the naturlist consider him a hero or some tool to take them down?

hm, i like the idea. playing as an industrialist. what would be cool is if the first level was to bust outta a factory savin the workers, then getttin outta there. then maybe the later story is leading assults against the industries, interesting... maybe it could be brought even more to a little bit of a stradagey game where like all th emuds, sligs, whatever that you save in the first few levels are like the help you get througout the game, like reinforcements... hm, i think ive been playin to much other stuff, gives me funny ideas. but i really want to see as maybe playin as another kind of character for a short time like in code veronica or somethin..... man i must seem prety high....

It could explain the endings.. Squeek could have his property taken away, and if you didn't try to save anyone, and the bad ending would thoroughly explain that he wasn't welcome to the Naturalists in any way, and that he is only rebelling because of the property he lost. An act of greed that would make Abe and Munch die for trusting him, and Squeek getting a death sentence by his own worker buddies..

this might fit in well... look, Abe has spiritual powers, Munch has technological powers, I think Squeek is gonna have brute stregnth powers, and this new hero wudd have political power. I wonder wat the last wudd have
