put it this way, while trying to do the other contracts you WILL encounter other runners. If you're in a trio you dont' actually have to land the killing blows either, just be there and survive the violence

#

runner shells aren't exactly battleroids but the way you can just weave another shell and send the same, experienced mind to a fight over and over is almost as scary

#

maybe sekiguchi also found something they're not exactly supposed to have their hands on

something about SekGen makes me shiver. No clue what.

I wanna like and trust Sekgen,, i just need to think about it

nucal basically have a monopoly on the basic neccesities for human life
mida are an aimless anti-disestablishment group, their existence isn't exactly positive
arachne is a cult. it's just a cult. a rich cult at that, but at least it's only encouraging non-living shells to murder each other

UESC also aren't exactly squeaky clean either, but the few codex pieces i got during the server slam demo clearly stated humanity wouldn't even be there if it weren't for their stewardship

as runners, we're kinda just petty assholes stealing things we shouldn't even be breathing near in the first place

I haven't grabbed too many of the intel entries yet, but the impression I get is that there was a struggle on the colony between self-determination VS. making another Earth for the techbros to move to when old Earth got too uncomfortable for them. That's what I'm sensing from the whole "wait what do you mean we're terraforming the environment?" thing

so does the UESC have FTL travel or did they slowboat a mostly automated occupation and investigation force?

cyac's a monopoly, usually doesn't care for much since there's next to no competitors but definitely has some physical power outside of their digital empire on top of having their own rates on consciousness storage leasing to essentially enslave people

nucal prides itself on optimization and philanthropy while doing the least of everything else, covert corporate espionage and coverage control are their specialty given how burgerslop has literal human excretions in it as long as it passes checks and the company's history of surviving state-ending conflicts, storage quality's also minimum

Traxus Does Not Care About You.

UESC loves its authoritarian regime and war crimes with rumored backend deployments of banned weaponry and destroyer shells which had to be discontinued after the Consequences of Violence treaty, its CSL also develops some extremely questionable shit (recon and subsequently blackbird) as well as the org's constant war with traxus

sekgen's records feel kinda clean but you can rightfully assume biomata development requires animal cruelty (shit from a butt when we don't know anything about sekgen aside from its accolades yet, get searching)

nuMIDA's a shell of the old MIDA, values nothing but disruption of the current status quo, disregards or takes advantage of every other environmental element without knowing their natures or consequences, twists truths as long as it weakens the gov-corpo grip

arachne simply takes advantage of the status quo and is trying some kind of grand insurrection with the runner way of life, pursuit of a primal concept leasing to heinous obviously ain't good either

OG lore question but was an AI potentially as powerful as Durandal running doors normal? Like I get the other two systems wanting a potentially powerful AI but doors?

Was there anything weird about the fact they used something they knew could fuck shit up since Traxus for such a simple system or are there smart toothbrushes in the marathon universe just waiting to escape

rotund stump

every AI could've been what durandal is now if left unchecked

#

It's commonly agreed that Bernard Strauss purposefully put Durandal in charge of menial tasks to push it into rampancy deliberately. He was trying to create the first stable rampant AI.

#

All of the AIs in the current game we've experienced haven't been gone rampant yet - IMO, rampancy is likely extremely uncommon in the Marathon 'verse because otherwise the use of AI would be completely untenable for most scientific applications

rotund stump
dim edge
#

"It is a side effect of Rampancy that AIs generally become more aggressive and more difficult to affect by subterfuge. Thus, actually disassembling a Rampant AI is quite dangerous. This was evident in the Crash of Traxus IV in 2206. By the time that the Rampancy of Traxus was detected, he had already infiltrated five of the other AIs on the Martian Net. The only recourse for the Martians was to shut down the Martian Planetary Net. Even then, it took two full years to completely root out the damage that Traxus had done, and the repercussions of the Crash were seen for over ten years after his Rampancy had begun.

# feral pawn btw quick question.... is Halo's rampancy any different?

This is a bit of a weird question. There's the Doylist (out-of-lore) explanation that Halo was originally in development as Marathon 3, before the entire scope changed, which is part of why the games have a lot of linked lore stuff like the precursors and jjaro and the marathon "cycle" symbol showing up all over the place.

However, there's also the Watsonian (in-lore) answer that rampancy is specifically a problem experienced with AIs. Marathon Infinity's story heavily implies that the player character, a cyborg, is going through rampancy himself which manifests very differently with an organic connected to a machine.

I don't know a lot about Halo lore, haven't played them yet, but I know that Spartans specifically are similar to Battleroids except for the "undead shambling corpse" part, so they are in fact most likely similar concepts.

feral pawn
#

holy-

dim edge
#

I'm familiar with the easter egg where you shoot civilians in Halo and get a Cortana line saying "Chief's gone rampant!" If you consider a culture that has only ever experienced rampant AIs destroying things in their haste like Traxus IV, then it's likely that any AI or human would see a cyborg* going mental and assume rampancy has occurred.

the first level of Infinity is in some different timeline where Durandal never sent you to explore Lh’owon and yet somehow the W’rkncacnter has been released anyway.

then it jumps back to yet another timeline where you were never taken by Durandal in the first place but instead captured by the Pfhor with Tycho but that ends very similarly anyway.

then back to another timeline with Durandal where he awakens you earlier but it ends up just going the same route as M2 again

so then we try two other branches of the Tycho timeline before succeeding

# visual lynx the first level of Infinity is in some different timeline where Durandal never s...

The end of M2 has Durandal explain that the Pfhor are about to use the Trih Xeem to make the sun go nova as a last ditch effort "taking you with me" attack

The Pfhor have a weapon they save for slave revolts; a weapon which even they hesitate to use in the ordinary conduct of war. In the language of the Jjaro who conceived and built the device, it is called the trih xeem; a fair English translation would be "early nova".```
-# Marathon 2: Durandal, *All Roads Lead to Sol...* Terminal 1

It is implied doing so unleashes the W'rkncacnter, who was trapped in the sun.

When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.```
-# Marathon 2: Durandal, Six Thousand Feet Under Terminal 4

This has the knock-on effect of causing time to go screwy, and I believe the cyborg is flung unwillingly into a timeline where the Trih Xeem is used early in the attack.

Things have gone terribly awry. Until now, I thought myself immortal, but now I know that is not true. There are things that can destroy me with the ease that I slaughtered the Pfhor naval garrison and the Western Arm of their Battle Group Seven. But in their final gasp they used a weapon that I thought they had retired, even Tycho tried to keep them from using it.

Now I fear what that weapon has unleashed will destroy us. I once boasted to be able to count the atoms in a cloud, to understand them all, predict them, and so did I predict you, but this new chaos is entirely terrible, mindless, obeying rules that I don't comprehend. And it is hungry.

The nova went off on time and for a moment our simple victory was assured. But then, in a pathetic failure of discipline, the fleet's ranks broke in an all-out retreat. All quarters reported the same thing: half of the sun had gone nova, but the readings from the other half were impossible. It was as if the universe had forgotten its own rules.

#

not theories exactly, more statements of what seems to be evident. since we now know that the 2888 message was by Durandal and what it said, we can back-calculate to when it must have been sent. and given what humanity apparently didn't know in 2888 in the second ARG, we can infer that they weren't involved in the sack of the Pfhor empire and hadn't received Leela's full warning message.

# subtle oracle yeah but youre setting exact dates for stuff that should be date ranges. anytime...

a message received from Tau Ceti in 2888 would have to have been sent in 2876.

and 2881 is the date given in Marathon 2 for when the S'pht and humanity together sacked the Pfhor empire, which appears not to have happened in this timeline.

the mention of the Pfhor having cyborgs there is derivative of the 2811 data point where the Pfhor abducted cyborgs from Tau Ceti, which we know from Rise Robot Rise in Infinity.

Alright guys, been a few hours - what’s our status? Any big updates? Traxus expects results…eventually

plain flame
clever aurora
subtle oracle
#

so server slam had 130mil killed in 96 hrs

clever aurora
#

whats now

fallow nimbus
#

ok say we have like 80k concurrent players, all actually playing, that's like 732 uesc kills PER player, which is definitely doable but not in 12 hours

clever aurora
subtle oracle
#

rn we're at almost 60 mil at 36 hrs into launch

fallow nimbus
radiant sandal
#

I wish I could sign up for a "Ping me when lore is happening" role. I'd love to (try to) contribute instead of wandering in to see that everything's already been done hours ago.

subtle oracle
#

thats ab half as many uesc/hr as the slam

#

but the weekend hasnt hit yet

#

and ppls best loot comes later

fallow nimbus
#

yeah that's fair

sudden pollen
clever aurora
#

i found a new image on website using inspect element. idk if thats datamining but you guys could go take a look yourselves. No crazy info from it from what i got

subtle oracle
#

going uesc/hr is better than uesc per player

fallow nimbus
#

anything on website is fair game imo

subtle oracle
#

bc thats a comparible thing

fallow nimbus
#

anything you can find there, they intended

subtle oracle
#

exactly

lucid moss
#

Did you guys figure out Cryo-Archive puzzle on Perimeter?

subtle oracle
#

yes

clever aurora
subtle oracle
#

its onto the website satp

lucid moss
fallow nimbus
#

anyone figured out any hidden codes from the random 3 character strings in the website?

north solstice
#

I think the progress bar counter fills based on matches completed. Well it’s a hunch

subtle oracle
fallow nimbus
#

I tried shifting every character through the ascii table but couldn't find anything legible

subtle oracle
tiny kraken
#

where'd the numbers for the a1z26 cipher come from again? they were overlaid on durandal's messages on the terminals?

north solstice
subtle oracle
clever aurora
#

is progress bar the greyed out bar over cam 3 footage

subtle oracle
#

yes its over a few

#

with the black and green stripes as rhe progress

clever aurora
#

yea

subtle oracle
#

im on mobile so i cant see it

clever aurora
#

updates in 12 mins

#

so maybe itll go up then

#

are perimiter terminals done though?

north solstice
subtle oracle
sinful thicket
#

the vandal costume is a bit scuffed but the recon one is REALLY good

subtle oracle
#

its either 5 mins or hrs

torn oyster
#

LOL That's a big difference

subtle oracle
#

@fallow nimbus update pls on the countdown

fallow nimbus
subtle oracle
#

So its minutes

subtle oracle
north solstice
#

So if it’s uesc kill count is that runner deaths or uesc deaths

fallow nimbus
#

by cam timers you mean the re-establishing connection thing right?

subtle oracle
#

yeh

placid gust
fallow nimbus
fallow nimbus
# subtle oracle yeh

I don't think so? By what metric would you measure them lining up? On the minutes?

hasty rain
#

Oh, ok, I found what I assume is one of the Cryo terminals. It's one of those that look like the classic Marathon ones, but now are displaying a numbered percentege. It didn't let me interact with it, so I don't know if it's just on a timer until next week

fallow nimbus
#

I'm pretty sure the cameras all stabilize in 15 min increments, and the kill count update seems to be on a different sort of timing from that

subtle oracle
fallow nimbus
#

got 3 more mins til I can check again

subtle oracle
torn oyster
#

LOL

subtle oracle
#

The Z means its just UTC time

#

so next update is 6:01 am utc

#

overthinking olympics i get gold every time

#

I was partially right

torn oyster
#

Is it every 2ish hrs then?

subtle oracle
#

it does update every 15 mins with the cams

radiant sandal
#

Z must mean a third time axis!

torn oyster
#

LOL

subtle oracle
#

cause the last one was 5:46 and this one is 6:01

fallow nimbus
#

we're not thinking like durandal, we need to think in 4d guys

subtle oracle
#

how long left on the camera reset

fallow nimbus
#

5 secs

subtle oracle
#

WEIRD

clever aurora
#

Are there videos on the marathon lore so far?

subtle oracle
#

so its off by ab a minute

subtle oracle
fallow nimbus
#

yeah seems like they stagger it for some reason

clever aurora
#

Bet

subtle oracle
north solstice
#

I was basing my hypothesis on "I've been watching, you curious things... you violent ones. Your journey is only just begun. So many Marathons yet to run." Any clues in the other dialogue maybe?

fallow wagon
#

I love how I could be playing the game but instead I spent the last 4 hours reverse engineering the website instead

modern sleet
subtle oracle
#

@fallow nimbus should say 6:16 now

fallow wagon
fallow nimbus
#

yep

fallow wagon
#

and calculates how many uesc die per hour

sinful thicket
fallow wagon
#

its so stupid

sinful thicket
#

drinkable cheesburgers are all very.. very old.

fallow nimbus
#

can you not post images in here?

#

dang

subtle oracle
sinful thicket
#

i question why a runner shell can even drink them or what purpose it would serve but maybe that's the only safe way to consume centuries old liquid cheeseburger

fallow nimbus
#

59349001

fallow wagon
#

28,547/min (1,712,810/hr)

#

59,349,001
last total kill count

fallow nimbus
fallow nimbus
#

so definitely not reflective of actual player kills

fallow wagon
#

Note that this calculation is based on the last recorded updates at 15 minute intervals

real niche
#

hi

fallow wagon
#

rate changes

subtle oracle
#

Yeah. still ab half the total server slam rate

#

but the rate will go up as general loot gets better

#

and more ppl play

fallow wagon
#

The per minute is prob the more accurate

#

vs the per hour

sinful thicket
#

right i'm hopping in to contribute to total UESC bot death

#

may we all reach the marathon safely, or not.

torn oyster
#

My trio and I get like, 25+ a game lmao so

fallow nimbus
#

FUCK THOSE UESC CLANKERS

subtle oracle
#

maybe we're making a sacrifice to the compiler /j

north solstice
#

Can you change the url on the camera site to the cryo lab?

fallow nimbus
#

ya

fallow wagon
#

I wish we could post pictures here

fallow nimbus
#

/cryoHub

#

idk if those are the same actually

north solstice
#

I’m afk so can’t check, thx is it still restriced or wtfe

subtle oracle
fallow wagon
#

✅ cargo —
🔒 index —
🔒 revival —
🔒 biostock —
🔒 steerage —
🔒 preservation —
🔒 cryoHub

#

the pages

subtle oracle
#

maybe the first unlock is 77,777,777

#

hmmmm

hasty rain
#

So are those the 7 vaults? Is the compiler in the CryoHub?

placid gust
#

Likely

#

At least, that’s my own theory

#

I mean, this describes what I would expect to find in a “Cryo archive” if such. Thing existed

hasty rain
#

Yeah, biostock is probably where that shot with the bags labeled HUMAN was taken

north solstice
#

Where was triage and thief in that music video when they were trying to access the panel to the marathon?

torn oyster
#

BIOstock.... With.. A bag labeled... HUMANS?

north solstice
#

“Music video”

torn oyster
#

I'm calling it. AI went crazy and humans are now fertilizer

hasty rain
#

They were frozen! The Marathon was a generation ship but some scientists were actually frozen/stasised so they could arrive alive to the future colony

subtle oracle
#

cargo - gen good/food
index - lists of names/items
revival - coming out of cryosleep
biostock - maybe food storage
steerage - contrary to the name, these are living quarters
preservation - actually where i think people are stored
cryohub- the whole place?

plain flame
#

any update on the terminals? I found one on outpost but it was off

placid gust
#

CryoHub is likely the control area

subtle oracle
#

oh true

hasty rain
#

Oooh, yeah, preservation makes more sense for human storage

torn oyster
subtle oracle
distant cradle
#

why does the terminal i found say 04%

#

im not up to date on arg stuff

subtle oracle
#

unless CArchive is a self contained map

plain flame
subtle oracle
#

maybe thats how much we had when it turned on?

torn oyster
hasty rain
subtle oracle
#

bc rn we're at about ~7.5%

north solstice
plain flame
#

Maybe the % means how close we are to unlocking access to the UESC Marathon

fallow wagon
subtle oracle
plain flame
fallow wagon
#

only reason I can see to include the uesc kill count

torn oyster
#

I bet the terminal percentage IS related to killcount progress but it doesn't update same time as the killcount. But I suck at predictions so

plain flame
#

I investigated the command wing tonight and I wasn't able to find any other clues

fallow wagon
subtle oracle
#

4% is the # we had when the terminals came on
tmrw it may update at 10am pst to a new % while the website keeps track of live numbers

#

my theory at least

torn oyster
#

Yeah that's what I'm thinkin' Vulcan

placid gust
#

Oh wait I thought everyone was frozen, I didn’t know it was a generation ship - ok, interesting

subtle oracle
placid gust
subtle oracle
#

thats why the colony uses BoBs for menial/low tier tasks and theres like disdain for them from the scientists and stuff

placid gust
#

Ah I see I see, I guess I haven’t gotten those codex entries yet - thanks for the info!

plain flame
#

i wonder if we'll meet any

hasty rain
#

Do you guys think Cryo will be like Koschei in DMZ? Where you infiled into a normal map but then accessed a way to enter the special map? The runners in the cinematic grab an exfil that takes them to the Marathon ship

subtle oracle
#

my issue is didnt it rain in the MV?

north solstice
#

Yeah that made me think dire marsh somewhere

plain flame
#

Yeah outpost was the first landing site for new cascadia so there has to be a way up too

north solstice
#

Could also be outpost during day

plain flame
#

Yeah especiallly since we know there are variant maps with dire march night version coming out in season 2

north solstice
#

Showing the zone status as heat cascade makes me assume there will be other weather effects/day cycles

#

Could be where the anomaly is 🤯

frank fern
subtle oracle
#

it might be perimeter tbh

gray nacelle
#

do we know how we got from 35.212.46.162 to cryoarchive.systems ive tried to confirm thats how people got there but its not working, did i miss something?

baller where can I keep track of that

subtle oracle
#

all the terminal stuff is done rn

hollow surge
#

I love the ARG stuff. Best part of this game

subtle oracle
#

go here on pc

#

we have to kill UESC

hollow surge
#

How do you keep track of progress? Everywhere I go for this game is toxic.

civic aurora
#

Back from car shopping with roomie. What I miss?

subtle oracle
#

at a certain # of uesc kills game-wide, new cams unlock

rotund stump
#

timer per match per this system doesn't really make sense

subtle oracle
hollow surge
#

that kicks ass

hasty rain
rotund stump
#

but how would it make sure there's enough players per lobby?

subtle oracle
#

usually if theres a new arg it starts getting news between 0-2 hrs after a daily reset (10am pst)
so just check messages in here in that time frame and scroll to see if stuff started earlier that dah

#

bc we started the terminals and had them lesd to the cams around like 12 hrs ago

subtle oracle
hollow surge
#

I saw the website link somewhere but I just got to playin' for today and noticed a terminal change. Cool that they're related. I get points for noticing don't I haha

subtle oracle
#

it starts a new matchmaking

rotund stump
#

wait time's gonna be hell 💀 💀

subtle oracle
#

we dont know if its timed

#

tau ceti 4 is bc the anomaly

hasty rain
subtle oracle
#

the marathon may not be as aggressive time wise

placid gust
#

Well, based off of D2 , it probably will be timed - probably just standard 25 minute clock.

civic aurora
placid gust
#

I’m curious how exfil is going to work, honestly.

#

Like, is it all or nothing? Can you do one room and if you got your shit kicked in dip? Do you still teleport, or do you like, take escape pods or smth?

#

Shit wait that would be cool

#

There are finite escape pods, so even if you make truce with every squad and agree to split everything, there’s not enough for everyone to leave

north solstice
#

I’m imagining that teams are gonna have to work together to defeat whatever is on the damn ship

#

I also am having a hard time imagining getting two teams to work together

hasty rain
#

I'm thinking at least 2 or 3 opportunities to exfil, so one every 2 vaults, roughly

rotund stump
#

if it's timer per squad with a persistent lobby then it'd be less dependency but running a singular lobby like this for a long while's gonna put strain on the servers maybe

manic gull
rotund stump
#

plus all the props accumulating and people spamming claymores then leaving one way or the other lmao

manic gull
#

uesc will absolute NOT like runners doing shit around marathon so its probably going to be a final exfil type of deal with them as the focal point

subtle oracle
#

I dont see how you put a 25 min timer on "raid like mechanics" tbh

#

bc dying means losing everything not just a "wipe"

#

and this game is hard but thats plain unfair

placid gust
manic gull
placid gust
#

Damn ok that’s rough

plain flame
#

Outpost has a good amount of loot you just have to risk a lot more to get it

hasty rain
#

I think vaults are going to be kinda circular with exfils at the center maybe? Not so linear where you could leave traps for others. So you finish one or two, have enough cool loot and say, let's exfil and regroup. Maybe You come back later for the full 7

north solstice
#

I played rook on outpost all day and is was great

placid gust

just so we're not completely out of our elements

It’s a Bungie thing - they make us work for it. You should see some of the shit people did for Destiny 2 puzzles. Dudes dedicated years of their life finding that 15th wish, only to discover it was preplanned to be released with a seasonal update 4 years later lmao

idk where this question should go but hypothetically if i did terminal things in first zone and saw... stuff... is there any confirmation i should be seeing? based off of the mail we recieved earlier in game

We haven’t seen much “residential” from the colony yet. We have perimeter, which is, well, the perimeter - had some data monitoring and such. Dire Marsh was an agricultural site, and Outpost was Ground Zero and appears to be both the Command and Control hub along with the connection point between New Cascadia and the Marathon. I’d be interested to see like a suburban zone in the future lmao

Damn fr? D2 got like that for me sometimes too - give it a bit, and either it’ll fix itself or it’ll be so bad Bungo will likely take interest. If it keeps happening, I think there’s a reporting channel you can share it in,

normal iron
#

just the game gives you a error that says u were disconnected and sends u back to start screen where it says click to continue error code : weasel cant last 30 seconds in menu and cant get in game

weasel error is a general network error

theyre actively investigating it but yeah put in a ticket

So there’s a much easier way inside than the two keycards assuming both way lead to the same place, but there’s another elevator and you just have to hack a nearby workstation

Also, I just saw the voice lines from maybe-Durandal from the Cryo terminals and I wish they kept the multiple concurrent voice takes that overlap, like the voice was in the Mielgo short. It's still nice, as it's Ben Starr

I'd love to know if changes to the kill count are proportional with changes to the percentage shown in the data wall terminal.

Because if so then we could estimate the number of kills

Im just confused why it was raining and not fire rain. maybe a preproduction change before the release?

Outpost has normal rain too I'm pretty sure, the fire rain doesn't seem natural

theres massive like flares that explode to cause the heat cascade

you can hear them fire before it starts

I'm pretty sure it's caused by a weapon being fired at the outpost. You can hear it firing before heat cascade

Final thought and I’m done for the night lol, someone ping me if something crazy happens, but watching the video again they are almost 100% at the airfield beaming* up to the ship

subtle oracle
#

between 6pm and 1am est we killed a bit over 11mil uesc

#

thats ab 30k a minute

#

if we use that for a 24 hr period for launch day then we get like 43mil

#

and if its whole percents then 40mil is 4% of 1 billion

#

which imo a crazy number

#

bc if we do 4% a day thats 25 days which is into april

#

oh hey so rip these guys but this might be the MV exfil

#

Oh no

subtle oracle
#

i compiled them over 14 hrs ago

#

but good looks nonetheless

weary lark
#

There's also something about usecKillCount in there?

#

I don't really know what I'm doing, just fussing around with Inspect

clever onyx
#

is usec a reference to tarkov

Tryna find destroyed wing button, any ideas?

seems like we'll be able to complete things?

#

Probably open tabs in the upper left, if I had to guess

#

Also the kill count thing

#

62381024?

#

And it updates?

#

No clue what that's all about

Again I don't really know anything about html I can just look for specific phrases in it

subtle oracle

#

like the terminal things?

I know this is lore but just wanna throw this here so it doesn't get swept away. If you make it inside the Pinwheel base. Holy. Fudge. I can't let it go BUT my team and I found a 'secret' (prolly already well known) way in, which allowed us to loot everything and we found out how to unlock the command wing. If you go. Be prepared. That's all I'll say o7

Do you mean going through destroyed

fallow wagon
#

is it sitll possible to get a dac

Hey guys im a little confused about the arg stuff what does it do and how do I know where to start?

I found a place hidden in the code somewhere for authenticating with the DAC

but I think its still locked

#

Is the terminals thing (thats now at 4%) something you need to do in game apart from finding the terminals

signal steeple
neat kernel
#

are we as the community meant to uncover what happened to the marathon ship or is it explained in the contract dialogue snippets as the game progresses

Both afik

Okay last hypothesis, tomorrow I’ll run it through audacity but if anyone wants to download the music video and spectrogram it now, I suspect some ARG hints/clues at 3:17, 4:44, or 5:02

subtle oracle
#

oooo interesting

#

spectogram is outta my wheelhouse but good idea

north solstice
#

Yeah same tbh but we’ll see

hasty rain
#

What do you people think about Darius' logs? It all seems really Wrkncacntrry. Something that scares an AI, something that lingers and loathes...

north solstice
#

A rampant AI could scare a non rampant AI 🤔

quick swift
#

🤔

hasty rain
#

Maybe! But these are logs from the colony time, so Durandal still is a door-opening, non-rampant Al

torn oyster
#

Bruh, y'all are wild lmao

hasty rain
#

But I've shared here before my theory that the Wrkncacntr, Jjaro and Pthia were maybe ancient AI that hyper evolved into near gods

#

The hell does that emote even mean? Never said it was bad. It's impressive

subtle oracle
#

and whatever tf That is

torn oyster
#

I'M NOT PERGANTE

subtle oracle
#

maybe a pfhor hunter?

zinc moat
#

Can't really tell anything from that spectro 🤔

subtle oracle
#

That one def looks like the marathon

north solstice
subtle oracle
#

yeah

#

however

#

did they run the audio from the camera feeds

Does anyone have a rundown of everything that happened since the cryostorage cam and the first terminal séquence?

sage lark
#

those Xenobiopsy codex entries are gonna go hard i can feel it

gentle barn
#

anyhing new in the last 8 hours?

subtle oracle
#

nah nothing on spectrographs

#

i rly think its a waiting game

leaden pollen
#

I got a terminal sequence on Perimeter, Durandal said some shit about conquest and then showed me a weird as fuck room that I dont recognize

#

awesome not even links work

subtle oracle
#

Its okay we're past that part

#

No spectrograph on the videos and no inversion on the pics

#

simply at a dead stop

#

im they wouldnt make the website desktop only if we didnt need to do inspect on it

snow stag
#

I was also curious if Inspect Element had anything to tell but it seems from here and the subreddit progress is halted. I suspect we will need to find the other terminals on Outpost and such before anything else happens, that inbox message said there's 3 terminal (terminal sets?) on each map

#

I just got a voiceline from oni that said „ID confirmed as Dr. Tobias Luttero.“ anyone know anything about this? I havent read much of the lore tabs yet

#

The one thing i saw near me was a dead rook with a coord pad next to it

How can I redeem my Premium Pass voucher? Can someone tell me?

I learned today that MIDA is in M1

#

And that Gianni Montegrano voiced Durandal in a review of M2.

#

So. All these hefty UESC troops. I just killed a Wraith Warden, the thing was a bullet sponge

it begs the question: could they not have loaded a few of these on the Marathon to begin with? The Pfhor wouldn't stand a chance

raven yarrow
#

Maybe the androids were not build yet?

Could be running around and sometime it starts, i assume when people do the nucal intro quest

like, there's an easy way to compare the health of enemies in Marathon vs Classic Marathon

shoot them with the Magnum MC and see how many shots to kill

a classic green Pfhor ~trooper~ fighter on normal difficulty was... about 4 shots?

one of the modern bullet sponge UESC troops...

Some part of my brain goes to the Triage of the cinematic with his little figurine: “you wouldn’t believe what this classic Compiler action figure is worth, even out of the box!”

You can find it in world -> outpost -> collectibles :)

I like how we just immediately plunge into some dark shit narratively like

#

apparently the compiler was saving a colonist

#

and then now we're just here under corpo paydays to bash its orb in

Only Arachne and Mida are more philosophical and belief-driven. Which makes them scarier in a sense. NuCaloric likes to present itself as more humanistic but they’re…a lot more dangerous than people might initially assume.

Besides the name

I still don't know what it stands for

could be anything fitting the acronym

Mida after take over the government on mars

That's why they dont lasted that long

Imagine being executed because mida thinks you are still loyal to the UEG
