Oh, no offense taken. I'm not a god. I'm an archaeologist, and I have no lofty notions that I'm anything but.
[Lara works her jaw, thinking, grinding her teeth a little like she so often did when presented with a problem she couldn't immediately solve. She makes a little mmhmm of affirmation, listening to his thoughts before sharing her own, equally stream of consciousness...]
If we assume it wasn't a coincidence, then that's possible. Like...I guess our presence was the hand winding up the key on a clockwork soldier. If that was the case then why place us there at all? If they're on our side, anyway. I don't know if I'm willing to say that, yet.
But that first bit. A truly divine source could have seen that coming and placed us there to stop the bedlam a horde of the walking dead could unleash. We didn't necessarily need to know what was going to happen. We'd just be fulfilling our role and playing to our natural inclinations, destroying the horde or stopping whatever mischief was going on. It seems like something we'd want to do, just because. I'd almost be willing to say that's the most likely scenario. That we were put there to stop something, even if they didn't know what. And we were left uninformed for...whatever reason.
