1Hello Mr. Farshtey. I hope you are doing well. 2I have a question. I know you can not say much about the Red Star, but I had an idea that popped into my mind: Can the Red Star Go out like a Sun can? As in it turns into a giant then a black hole?
3No 4Well, it is kinda interesting.
5Very interesting...
6this either means that our physics don't apply in bionicle, or that the red star is, in fact, not a star at all .
7Well, that's a no-brainer. Stars don't tend to orbit a planet, do they? (They could in Bionicle, but that's not the point.
) 8Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 9
1Like many others, my insatiable curiosity has been piqued once more; this time by rereading your wonderfully written Legends #10. Hope your summer's going well.
21. Do all the Makuta's Nynrah blasters do the same thing? I only saw the effects of Bitil's on Onua, and that was the paralysis/control effect; do Gorast's &Krika's achieve the same? 31b. What about the Toa's blasters? They seem to create objects made of energy; are the shape/size of said objects controlled by the wielder's mind? 41) Yes 51b) Yes
62. What is the description of Gorast's Kanohi? I know it's the Feinas, Mask of Disruption, but disruption of what exactly? 72) Powers
83. The Mistika Makuta's powers appear to be as follows:
9All: Flight, shadow energy, Nynrah blasters 10Gorast: Mask of disruption, light draining 11Bitil: Mask of time duplication, telepathy (with other Makuta[?]) 12Krika: Mask of repulsion, energy drain from others/environment 133) You are leaving out other Makuta powers they still have. What has been shown in story is not all they have, just all they have used in story
144. Do we get to know what caused Takanuva's growth yet? If not, when (if ever)? 154) Takanuva's growth is caused by the same thing that makes the Av-Matoran larger than normal Matoran -- the intense and unique light energy of Karda Nui
165. How much time has elapsed since the Toa Mata's arrival on Mata Nui (basically, the current storyline, omitting Vakama's tales)? 175) A little over a year
186. Do the Mahri have much to do currently? Does Metru Nui really need protecting from anything other than Rahi? 196) Aren't Rahi enough? Think about what the Mata went through on Mata Nui, dealing with Muaka and Kane-Ra and Nui-Rama. Now unleash those on a major city ...
207. Do you plan on ever visiting anywhere outside of Connecticut? Like Michigan? 217) Basically, I go where I am invited. For me to travel somewhere that isn't driving distance, the library or school or store that wants me to show up has to be willing to pay for my travel and hotel, as I don't have the money to fund these things myself.
22Alright, these sound good.
23On number six...
24The Toa Mata fought Rahi that had infected masks. The Rahi of Metru Nui don't....so why are they hostile?

3On number six...
4The Toa Mata fought Rahi that had infected masks. The Rahi of Metru Nui don't....so why are they hostile?
5Well, they could roam wherever they wanted on Mata Nui. On Metru Nui, you have lots of delicate structures that are bound to get damaged if some large animal walks through. It's like having a bear walk down a city street. Do you think that's a good idea?
6Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 7
1Plues, while the Matoran where gone, Rahi could of claimed some of their own territory in Metru-Nui, and most likely they won't like intruders.
2Q: Does the armour adapt by itself or do the Toa control what it does? For example, if they're pushed off a tall building while unconscious, would the armour fly them to safety or would they hit the ground hard?
3A: The Toa do not control it, it adapts on its own, and yes, it can shapeshift.
4Q: How did Gadunka's curse power get used on himself? Shouldn't Nocturn have been killed by himself in that case?
5A: Curses vary -- they are not always things you do to other people, sometimes they are things done to you. When Pridak was cursed, he went nuts -- he didn't turn everyone around him nuts.
6Interesting, these two quotes. Imagine if the adaptive armor didn't shapeshift, then it would be like Transformers tranforming...
7And it would be hilarious is Pridak made evryone around hom go nuts.
8While the armor would adapt, I don't thin kit would save them from falling if they were unconscious. Can't use a jet while in a coma, you know.

14this either means that our physics don't apply in bionicle, or that the red star is, in fact, not a star at all .
15We don't know what it is, just that the Bionicle inhabitants THINK its a star.
16I doubt anything could live in a real burning ball of gas, BIONICLE or not. It's definitely not a star.
13) The MU was finished before Mata Nui was brought to life, and I would not consider a creation finished until it is brought to life, myself.
2If Greg doesn't consider a creation complete until it is brought to life, and Mata Nui was not brought to life until after the Matoran Universe was completed, how can they be one in the same? Mata Nui would not have been considered finished until some time after the Matoran Universe was complete.
3I can see a counter-argument here, though.

7exactly my piont11. Hey Greg. I've noticed that there's seems to be a running theme of a connection between a Toa Team's name and a location. We've seen Toa named after where they protect (Toa Metru), where they've had their greatest adventures (Toa Mahri), or locations later named after a team (Toa Mangai). Now, given that Jovan's Toa Team had to travel to Voya Nui, may have spent time their as a Toa, and Jovan served as a Turaga of the area, could Jovan's Toa team have been named Toa Voya?2. Would the OoMN recruit members of the Barraki's species to be members of the OoMN?3. Is Matoro's statue in his Matoran, Toa Inika, or Toa Mahri form?4. Would you say Jaller is the most effected by Matoro's death?5. Seeing as they were his bodyguard for many years, did the Toa Hagah have significant interaction with Teridax, and if so, will that play a part in DiD?6. Being the first orange set, how did Pohatu sell?1) Wouldn't make sense. They were on Voya Nui all of 35 seconds. They didn't spend time there as a Toa team, they went to get the mask and came back to bring it back, and that's it. Remember, the VN Matoran had never seen a Toa, so obviously there wasn't a Toa team based there.2) Yes3) Toa Mahri4) Jaller and probably Hahli5) They had some, but it was about as much as a bodyguard ever has with a client -- they don't sit around and have lunch together6) No idea, I don't have the figures on that. 
:sarcasm:

1Seriously people, we are getting way off topic. Alright now, we know that Mata-Nui was completed before the MU. We just don't know if it the spirit or the island. Some PM GregF about it. He doesnt respond my PM's at all these days.
1Hi Greg, just some more questions.
21)Could Mata Nui traveled to other universes without matoran space tech?
32)Is umbra's mind shielded?
43)How's moving doing?
5That's my questions for now.
61) All he would have to do is be outside of the domed universe, on the ocean, and he is in another universe, Mez 72) No 83) Still unpacking
9I think i post this before. I don't know. I'm getting sleepy. Plaese tell me if i did.

4No it's not. The island of Mata Nui is outside the domes, therefore not part of the Matoran Universe.
5@Mezzilak: Yeah you did
Don't worry about it though. 6Guys, could you please stop quoting enormous posts just to comment with one sentence that has nothing to do with the topic? Scrolling through one post that takes up half a page is getting really annoying. Just quote a short part of the post you are commenting on.
1Actually, the island of Mata Nui is part of Metru Nui's dome, so in a sense it does belong to the MU.
1Some minor theory I thought up of that got disapproved:
6-Tomdroidser
2Sir:
3After watching "Mask of Light," I had this thought: The Kanohi Avohkii was not made from a disk. Who needs a lightstone when you have it? Also, Antroz supercharged the Jetrax with energy "older than the stars" from a lightstone. Would it make sense that Artakha made the Mask of Light from a lightstone that originates from Karda Nui?
4-Tomdroidser
5No, Artkaha did not make it from a lightstone from Karda Nui. There are six lightstones in the Codrex, and they are intact.

1six lightstones in the codrex? they sound important
1Actually, the island of Mata Nui is part of Metru Nui's dome, so in a sense it does belong to the MU.
2If the island of Mata Nui was part of the MU, it would have been destroyed with the rest of the universe in The Kingdom. Greg has said repeatedly that the Matoran Universe is everything inside the domes. It's a fact that it is not part of the MU. 3From BS01:
4The Matoran Universe is where the majority of the BIONICLE storyline takes place. It encompasses a huge series of underground domes, not including the surface of the planet.
5That's neat about there only being six enormous lightstones. I wonder if they're the source of the light energy in the core?

6Mata Nui is Metru Nui's dome. Since it is the roof of a dome, it is part of the MU.
7In The Kingdom, they said that they couldn't hold the original island up much longer. Kinda means it's falling apart, then, doesn't it?

15sigh. i thought jaller and hali mostly but had some debate over jaller or matoro until my topic bionicle couples got one post: Greg has stated and restated that there is no romance in the bionilce universe. topic closed. *runs off crying then watches mask of light and breaks the tv yelling "you lied to me ." at the long goodbye part. then relize that the tv cost more than my colledge fund and the disk is still unharmed.*
16wait, when did i become a turaga? now i'm some weak, yoda, old guy . i still wanna be a tohungu . (what ever that is)
17we know.that was my piont.through the emoticons.
18Its not a romance situation its just Ga-matoran or water toa put more feelings into things . Especially for their brothers and sisters, they knew Matoro and he was a member of their team . Jaller feels really bad because he now sees they lost a brother and a hero, and Hahli feels bad for the same reason . Jaller could also feel more responsible for it because hes the leader . It has nothing to do with romance .
19i was commenting on the emoticons. but also i think it has to do with the fact that as a matoran Jaller refered to matoro as a great freind and they seemed close. but when they became toa as with all toa of ice and fire the started drifting apart. now that matoro is gone *cries* Jaller feels guilty and remorse more than the other toa due to that. also with jaller and hali or matoro and hali i noticed osmething fo rmatoro and hali people. hali cried both of the times matoro died but she didn't when jaller died. 20oh and well greg denies romance but does nayone know about the original author. i do not know the situation with that, ijust noticed the other author the other day. i have the feeling he supposrted it.

20Ok, Jaller was getting mad from Matoro kinda trying to take his place as the leader, he now feels bad about him dieing . Hahli was greatly upset as well when Jaller died, she had his mask and then gave it to Takanuva . It doesnt mean anything, im sure Ga-matoran/water toa get really upset when someone or someone they knew dies . 21And yes I used to think there was romance after seeing bohrok videos but I guess theres not anymore .

10Mata-Nui is on top of the dome, not the dome itself.. Ans the reason why it was going to collapse was probaly becasue the dome it rested upon was part of the MU, and it was affected by Mata-Nui's death, and wouldn't be able to hold all the refugees on top of it.

2To quote BS01:
3It is the "roof" of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and Mata Nui is directly above the City of Legends.
4So, it is part of the dome itself.
5EDIT: Just in from the Big G -
6Hi Greg. A PM just surfaced in the OGD, saying the Avohkii was not created from a lightstone in Karda Nui. But there are thousands, if not millions, of lightstones throughout the universe. Was the Avohkii created from a lightstone at all?
7Thank you for your time.
8
9No. Keep in mind, Toa masks are made all over the universe, the vast majority not from Kanoka disks (which was the starting point for that other question). The fact that it was not made from a disk is not 1) surprising or 2) that significant.
10Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho . 11
1Hey Greg
2I just have some quick questions:
31a. As a Matoran, did Krakua live in a place that we know of?
4b. Did that place have any Toa?
52. It's been said that the OoMN was involved with Krakua becoming a Toa; Did Helryx create the Toa Stone that transformed Krakua?
6On another note:
73. Was Lhikan's Toa armor (Metru body) based off of Dume's? It would make sense, as Toa Dume knew Matoran Lhikan.
8Thanks
91) Yes 101b) No 112) I can't answer this 123) Not that I know of, Lhikan met a lot of Toa in his life.
131. A place with no Toa... Stelt or Xia, perhaps?
143. Lhikan knew a lot of Toa as a Matoran? I'm pretty sure that's new.
1i just p.m.ed greg about makuta, and toa. but i forgot how to quote p.m.s. how do you do it?
1Some new stuff from Greg, the first two are kind of new it seems, well 1 ties up some loose ends sort of.
91) Why would they want to see all the Tahtorak slaughtered? 102) I haven't decided yet 113) My favorite episodes overall were The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances, but I really can't remember most of them by title. 124) Actually, the latest is that Martha will NOT be on Torchwood at all, despite the earlier plans for her to be. The actress accepted a role on the UK version of Law and Order, so she won't be doing the show.
2Hello sir, I have a few questions.
31. Will the Tahtorak on Zakaz plan to wipe out the Skakdi thing play a part at all? I thought Axonn or Brutaka may bring it up to Nektann when they met him...
42. Can Mazeka's Swamp Strider do anything besides walk? I mean any other modes of movement? Like can it hover or anything? The legs on the set fold up, so thats what it seemed like to me.
5Non BIONICLE
63. What have been your favorite episodes of the four new series of Doctor Who for each year? Mine have been Dalek, Doomsday, Smith and Jones, Partners in Crime.
74. At the end of Journey's End, Martha and Mickey left with Jack. Would you like to see them in series 3 of Torchwood? I personally would, and I think they've been confirmed by this point to replace Owen and Toshiko respectively.
8That's all, thank you for your time.

1To quote BS01:
2It is the "roof" of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and Mata Nui is directly above the City of Legends.
3So, it is part of the dome itself.
4Sorry, but to quote Greg (I just got this a few hours ago):
5Hey Greg, there has been some argument about whether or not the island of Mata Nui is considered part of the Matoran Universe or not. Some claim that since "Mata Nui is Metru Nui's dome", the island is considered part of the universe. However, I am of the understanding that the Matoran Universe is everything inside the domes only, and nothing on the outside. I'm just looking for confirmation, so can you say explicitly whether or not the island of Mata Nui is part of the Matoran universe? 6Thanks .
7And your understanding is correct. Easy answer -- we stated that anything living in the Matoran universe would die if Mata Nui died. The residents of the Kingdom, who were living on the island of Mata Nui, survived his death just fine. Ergo, the island cannot be considered part of the Matoran universe.

8Well, that almost seems contradictory. Anyone on Mata Nui would technically be standing on top of the dome in the first place; ergo not in the universe, but on it. It would be like saying someone was standing on the dome of, say, Stelt. They would be standing on the structure of the universe, but not actually in it. I think I'm putting too much thought into this...
9So, the way I see it, say you stand on a giant cube. You're standing on the cube, right? You aren't in the cube, but that doesn't make the outside of the cube not part of the cube, does it?

1Hi Greg, just some more questions.
21)Could Mata Nui traveled to other universes without matoran space tech?
32)Is umbra's mind shielded?
43)How tall would you say Artidax?
54)How's moving doing?
6That's my questions for now.
71) All he would have to do is be outside of the domed universe, on the ocean, and he is in another universe, Mez 82) No 93) Artidax is an island, not a person 104) Still unpacking
111)Does this mean he's already in another universe? 123)Sorry I meant Tridax?
131) When did I say that? 145) I haven't officially stated Tridax is a Makuta, only that I like the idea of naming a Makuta that.
15Just some responses.
1To quote BS01:
2It is the "roof" of the dome that houses Metru Nui, and Mata Nui is directly above the City of Legends.
3So, it is part of the dome itself.
4Sorry, but to quote Greg (I just got this a few hours ago):5Hey Greg, there has been some argument about whether or not the island of Mata Nui is considered part of the Matoran Universe or not. Some claim that since "Mata Nui is Metru Nui's dome", the island is considered part of the universe. However, I am of the understanding that the Matoran Universe is everything inside the domes only, and nothing on the outside. I'm just looking for confirmation, so can you say explicitly whether or not the island of Mata Nui is part of the Matoran universe? 6Thanks .
7And your understanding is correct. Easy answer -- we stated that anything living in the Matoran universe would die if Mata Nui died. The residents of the Kingdom, who were living on the island of Mata Nui, survived his death just fine. Ergo, the island cannot be considered part of the Matoran universe.
8Well, that almost seems contradictory. Anyone on Mata Nui would technically be standing on top of the dome in the first place; ergo not in the universe, but on it. It would be like saying someone was standing on the dome of, say, Stelt. They would be standing on the structure of the universe, but not actually in it. I think I'm putting too much thought into this...

12Another reason that the island of Mata Nui isn't part of the MU is because it is on the dome of Metru-nui. The is Metru-nui and it's dome, which is part of the MU, then on top of it is Mata-nui, which is not the dome itself, but simply resting on it.
2If Greg doesn't consider a creation complete until it is brought to life, and Mata Nui was not brought to life until after the Matoran Universe was completed, how can they be one in the same? Mata Nui would not have been considered finished until some time after the Matoran Universe was complete.
3I can see a counter-argument here, though.
4Guys, I understand you're discussing Greg's answers, but use the Official Mata Nui topic unless you want this to get closed.

11. When it says that Mutran learned why the universe works, does it mean why it was created or why it manages to hold together and continue to work? 2b. Will we learn what Mutran learned from Tren Krom? 3c. Are these secrets of the universe applicable to other universes (well some of them)?
41) He does not know why it was created, no, no one does (other than the story team, and eventually, you) 51b) Some of it, yes 61c) No

7I'm liking question 1 very much. It could be implying that although we are not in the same universe next year, it will still be involved in the future storyline.

5A better analogy would be to say you are standing on an egg. The shell is the dome and the yolk is the MU. While, yes, you are standing on the egg, you are not standing on the yolk
1Yeah, question number one sounds great.
1The fact that there was a explicit reason for the matoran universe to exist is interesting....
