When I played, just last week I finished the game, the old man on the
"ship" told me I was whole after defeating the octopus.

IMHO this game's theme is the answer to human wars.  We make war
because the good *is* split from the evil, internally.  After the
game's hero is whole the human race can start over without wars.  Of
course our old Earth is already doomed, so the new race had to start
elsewhere.

We think, because things have been easy, as a whole, for a
generation or so, that we are going on to perfect comfort and
security in the future.  We think that we shall always go to
work at ten and leave off at four, and have dinner at seven
for ever and ever.  But ever so often Nature slaps us on the
side of the head.
