Evidence FTW dude. :) You can make up fan-theories all you like, but without evidence to verify it then it holds little canonical validity. Some fan-theories are better than others; i.e. ones that are based on evidence but cannot be absolutely/conclusively proven by it (much like say scientific theories).

I'm not going to agree or disagree with fan theories... I have little interest in discussing them myself. (but if you and others wanna talk about it, go for it. :)).

There's this thing called Burden of Proof. Basically if you want to claim that something can be true, then it is your responsibility as the claimant to provide evidence that it's true. Otherwise you can't hold claim that it is. Again you're welcome to your own fan theories. :)

I'm all for reading between the lines.

Primal's line in Bad Spark - "somewhere far, someplace barren". As you said, why would they give the Stasis pod engines? You can draw the conclusion that it was a specialised pod for holding him. We know it's true because it's bigger than a normal stasis pod. Its a temporary prison at best. They knew he'd break out of it, but as long as he was somewhere he couldn't cause any trouble when he did, then all was well.
