	My current hypothesis: due to what the UberEtherial says, and various descriptions of the Hyperlink Beacon and resulting tech: the Outsiders in both this game and the upcoming FPS are one and the same. 'He' talks several times about some "others" that have ascended beyond themselves, a sillouette in the "stained glass windows" behind the Etherial sillouette (in the Overseer UFO and the last room of the Sanctuary Ship), the descriptions repeatedly mention other dimentions, the "organic sillicon-based lifeform" feel of the Outsiders (vs the "machined metal grafted onto flesh" of the Floaters), their complete dissapearance after the Beacon's capture, and the appearance and abilities of the Outsiders of the FPS lead me to belive that both outsiders are the same 'race', and are the Ascended trans-dimentional beings. --[[User:Xuncu\|Xuncu]] 21:57, 19 March 2013 (EDT)		My current hypothesis: due to what the UberEtherial says, and various descriptions of the Hyperlink Beacon and resulting tech: the Outsiders in both this game and the upcoming FPS are one and the same.

			:Interesting idea, but Outsiders are early enemies, and not particularly powerful. The Ethereals consider the "ascended" "others" to be superior to themselves, so it isn't consistent for Outsiders, which serve Ethereals, to be them. It's also implied that the ascended ones ascended long ago and the Ethereals have been engineering races for years, even centuries, to duplicate their feat, while Outsiders disappeared only weeks earlier.
