ARG aside I do have to say I am really enjoying the direction this is going. I'm not saying Trey did a bad job by any means, he did great, but with a larger ARG team leading I think it'll be good for people

Crow delivered the message. The signatories didn't believe her. (or are in the pockets of the GOC & PENTAGRAM)
GoC initiated a vote and now UIU has been entirely expelled from the Interchange/Faultline meetings.

Hell. Knowing that eagle was here a majority of the time explains why she deliberately brought up mary nakamura. At least I feel.

She really, really wanted to be able to put a list of stuff her informants found in there lol
Yup

More serious note. As much as it felt like bashing my head into a solid steel wall at times. I really enjoyed it.
It also probably helps that I showed up to an ARG on time instead of a month late.
But the last one I got to really try at wasnt nearly as creative. And it was still pretty creative.
Anyway. Ive lied to myself enough, about how "I'm going to bed now"

Question. The fact that the PENTAGRAM page got a ping for the call to assembly means that its a proper PENTAGRAM page no? Note. Im not reading the answer to this until after i wake up. My mind won't stop thinking about lore
Second note. If I have fudged the wording. I will not be fixing until I wake.

The problem i have this development is that several of those signatories would never take an order from the GoC :/
WWW for one. Brasil, Korea, and a few others. Not without an actual reason instead of just a etiquette issue.
And D.C. al Fine is a baddy.
Ah well. Hope the auxilary signatories kick up a stink.

Around 8 hours ago

The people here cracked through Signatory 8-9, did a few cartwheels for the job well done, then found the evidence Eagle-eye (Crow) wanted. Now Crow is MIA/Removed from the round table because GoC and DoD are bad guys.
ANywhere between 2-3 hours ago, signatory 10 dropped revealing the worst case scenario in a sence.

What was the evidence?

Protocol-pentacle.

I think they were scared by GOC and DOD since the DOD and GOC are much much more powerful then anyone there

Is there more to solve or we done for now?

I think its just tensions and the smaller GOIs dont want a fight
if its not a power thing

Considering serpants hand is willing to go toe-to-toe with foundation and actively attack foundation sites, i doubt it.
Same with Church of the broken god.
hushed mortar
I do wonder then what the in game timeline is and how it matches up with this
Cus in Antartica the GOC mentions files found in Area-12, which might mean the UIU and Eagle-Eye get them on side?
south fractal
Easy answer, UIU is now rouge agents inside the area-12 facility.

Easy answer, UIU is now rouge agents inside the area-12 facility.
It's august
That's in two months
frozen cobalt
but in two months the UIU still communicates with GOC
hushed mortar
Easy answer, UIU is now rouge agents inside the area-12 facility.
My guess would be then that after what goes down in Area 12, the GOC finally believes them and does some research of their own on linked facilities

That was after the raid started

No, they just gave us a teaser reconfirming the date

So if I understand right, 2 months after the end of this, raid on a12 happens, UIU find proof, and GOC acts on it?
frozen cobalt
that made them reconcile

The N.S. MacReady acts on it and sends the proof they find in Antarctica to Ganzir
They probably will convince the rest of the GOC with that

Oh that could explain why some of the voice lines on Antarctica sound like "hey, ganzir has no idea about this, so in and out quickly"
full rivet
Oh that could explain why some of the voice lines on Antarctica sound like "hey,...
No, the lines were talking about going quickly so the Foundation doesn't come back and cover it up

The N.S. MacReady clearly believed us themselves, they're just convincing the rest of the GOC
hushed mortar
I do hope at some point whether through the ARG or in game there's some fall of ganzir content
Idk if its in the scope of the game but that would be fun
south fractal
Doubt it would happen, but i would laugh if 0.18 is just a rebuilt game due to realty shift xD Would make me chuckle.
hushed mortar
I doubt it'd happen any time soon, fall of ganzir is towards the end of the 5k canon iirc

I mean, everything fell at the end of the 5k story.
Except for ma main man Pietro! woo go Pietro!

I think Protocol Pentacle is fake or we weren't given a genuine version of it
I'm not sure the GOC would agree to something like that, and they were less defensive than I would expect them to be if it was actually true

It most likely is just a bogus thing the foundation cooked up to either throw off us

What was he even trying to do
silver sedge
I bet he was released to stop us
As if you think about it, he didn't eat the information on the dashboard
A page he would have access to as soon as he breached
It just further more confirms the theory that crius flagged us logging into the staff email (assuming that is the event that wold have triggered this)
But nah I bet this is the end of this phase
I bet there is gonna be a break until we get anything new
tawdry veldt
Honestly
I donāt really pay attention in game
So I have no idea what even happens

we got interrogated and then got lost looking for our keys

The whole treaty is to hold the foundation accountable
But it never actually says what enacting the protocol would mean
