Who is connected to the third mask? [Spoilers]
So far, as what I have been able to ascertain, the reason why I keep going back in time every time I die is because this mask thingy keeps sending my memories back in time to me from 22-minutes ago. And apparently, I'm not the only one. Gabbro is also linked to a mask and is able to remember what is going on every loop.

Thing is, whenever I get into one of those weird pool thingies with a stone linked to ash twin, I can see into its core where the masks are kept and there is a third mask that is lit up.

At first, I thought it was Solanum who was paired to the third mask but when I returned to the Quantum Moon after the sun exploded, she didn't seem to recognize me in the text she left on the wall.

Secondly, I thought it was Feldspar since he mentioned that he was able to breach the electricity sphere beneath Giant's Deep where the third open statue is. Yet he didn't remember me when I talked to him after a couple of loops.

So who do you think is paired to the third mask?

Satellite from the orbital cannon

I would also love to know. I feel like this is the only question left unanswered.

Hmm, I feel like it would be kinda wierd if the probe was linked via the memory statue.
Didn't the statues only calibrate on living creatures?

It seems the game mentions that it is a satellite

It's the Probe Tracker, so it knows to shoot the probe somewhere else each time.

One of the Nomai linked before, too. That could have been the broken mask.

Ok thx. I must haved missed where it was mentioned that the Probe Tracker is the statue itself.

What I am more curious about is who WAS connected to the broken mask if at all. I haven't found any info on this. The thing is the only mention of a Nomai linking to a statue was during the initial testing afaik and considering the Nomai were wiped out prior to the initial activation of the project at the end of the suns natural life cycle the existance of the broken mask seems unrelated to that event

The game directly tells you that the third mask is the probe tracking module - read the 2nd ring near the masks in Ash Twin core.
