Looks to the Moon (character)

Looks to the Moon, known as Big Sis Moon by her friends, is the iterator of the Looks to the Moon facility, which is a subregion of the Shoreline. Eating the neurons above her head will harm her, and will earn the "Stolen Enlightenment" achievement if you do so upon your first meeting. Eating all of Moon's neurons at any time will kill her.

Appearance
If you go the way the overseer tells you to go from the beginning of the game, you find her sitting down, and emitting sounds you are not able to understand. She is blue, with red wires protruding from her body and a red spot set on her forehead. Five white neuron flies float above her head. She sits on a pile of trash in a partially flooded square chamber, with sunlight coming through a hole in the ceiling. The chamber is reminiscent of a decayed version of Five Pebbles' chamber, and she is attached to the wall via a mechanical arm.

About
Moon's surrounding hardware is severely damaged and her processing power is reduced to the few neurons hovering above her. Much of her long-term memory is destroyed.

If you have the mark granted to you by Five Pebbles, you will be able to understand her.

You are able to bring pearls, items, and neurons to her; she will read pearls (which contain lore relating to the world and its previous inhabitants) out loud to you and thanks you gratefully for bringing her neurons, which are her only source of processing power at this stage.

Trivia

 * Moon is still connected to the wall by her arm/umbilical, but the damaged hardware lacks power to let her move around.
 * From what she tells you it can be theoretically concluded that the water consumption of the iterators, and the water vapor they exhale, causes the heavy rains.
 * Moon is most likely older than Five Pebbles, as she mentions having seniority privileges over him in pearl records. This may be why she refers to herself as "Big Sis Moon" in communications logs.
 * If you grab her neurons twice she will tell you to leave and will no longer talk to you.
 * It's possible to get Moon to like you again if you ate one of her neurons, but you will need to bring her enough neurons to replace the ones you ate, provided at least one remains.
 * Since Moon cannot leave her chamber, her room is flooded to the top every cycle when the rain comes.
 * If you hit her with a piece of rubbish or a spear, she will cry out.
 * She doesn't seem to like the slugcat jumping/moving around a lot, even if she herself is not hit. She may request the player to settle down or sit still if they jump excessively.
 * Moon will become impatient with slugcat if they continue to leave and return to her vicinity while she is giving dialogue, scolding the player for not being respectful, and telling them to leave if they are not willing to listen.

Bugs

 * Bringing one or more Neuron Flies on your first visit and then hibernating earns you the Stolen Enlightenment achievement. This, however, does not negatively affect your relationship with her and is, in fact, the only way to get the achievement without ever hurting her.
