My Theory For Shrike and The Cataclysm.
First of all, I still believe in the theory that Shrike was a Terran/human experiment. The fact he speaks a Terran language unknown to many people, remembers his “mom” that spoke that language very dearly, and the recent flashback supporting his interaction with humans in his youth all but supports this. Or at least close proximity to Terrans.
Terrans were obviously experimenting with secondary colors, which led to the cataclysm. It’s obvious that these colors were unstable, and, what if the Terrans… knew that? What if they were trying to contain these colors? What if… Shrike was an experiment of many to make an artificially created organism capable of storing and harnessing the green?
Shrike’s head-crystal has been used to contain many things over the course of the show, and he’s most recently used it to contain Dolion’s Green. And guess what? After the Green breaks inside of his head crystal, suddenly Shrike is creating hand-electricity this episode to jumpstart the Bucket! I think I’m finally starting to connect the dots on this!
The reason for the cataclysm is because Terrans failed in succeeding in their experiments to contain the secondaries, and Shrike is one of those complete, utter failures (no offense)!
