#

i’m resetting again

hushed jay
#

i got the achievement for getting everything but for the life of me i don't know if the laptop leads to something else

#

ill leave it for now since i havent done the courtroom map yet

gritty sky
#

I did a few runs because I kept dying during attempts and every part of the puzzle moved to different spawns aside from of course the vault itself

#

There’s also a note in the vault you can read pretty well with the new flip up sight

shrewd yarrow
#

does someone need an img posted?

obtuse ice
#

Boiled

#

Tis finally out

quartz sable
#

I just did the whole thing without the safe card at all so i have no clue what that thing is used for

#

Video incoming

hushed jay
#

i think the dialogue changes if you do the laptop

#

imma do that mission again and record it

gritty sky
#

It does change I can confirm

#

I'm new to the arg, is this related to the USIA n shit

shrewd yarrow
hushed jay
#

what are the known safe locations? i just know the one in the upstairs offices

gritty sky
#

There’s a few upstairs, as well as the side room with the floating books on the main floor

#

The safe is usually tucked into a corner, there’s a few spawns where the whiteboard can also be near as well

#

The “a new America” mission allows you to rewire the cctv. Do you think that can lead to something?

hushed jay
#

probably

#

i accidentally pulled a fight club ending on that mission

I noticed one of the MLO guy say “subproject terminated” not sure what that can mean

cobalt ice
#

Has anyone looked into the new detective bureau board?

radiant sonnet
#

Hey have we heard anything about a ritual in the past?

dawn saddle
#

guys look around HQ everytime you finish a mission, we have documents laying around about internal money being transfered out, IAB nabbing some crooked cops and at least 2 psycological profiles written for Judge with one directly from the USIA, as well as a report on the listening room

cobalt ice
dawn saddle
#

also the elevator works i thinl

cobalt ice
#

the hq elevator?

dawn saddle
#

yes

#

also the documents dissapers after you load a new mission i think

radiant sonnet
#

Hey check the Evidence room far end of the room I’m hearing strange sounds coming from there

#

Sounds ghostly

gritty sky
#

Would they respawn if you complete the mission again?

dawn saddle
#

theres a coroners report on officer michael rodriguez in the memorial hall bench after you finish the first DLC mission

dawn saddle
#

they got a whole holding area in the basement, if we nab some suspects back alive we MIGHT get some special dialogue

#

theres a report on tunnels under the whole of LS

yeah some of the files disappeared after the pier and i didn’t get too look at them

#

We seem to be in endgame of things or at least nearing the end with the MLO getting directly involved

#

bank mission is so cool, we have another team making entry next to us

Oh really that’s actually cool

#

You can see the shield line move down to meet the civilian crowd after the small explosion as you walk up

#

I just kinda walked up against the lockers

gritty sky
#

I was just about to ask how long you had to stand to hear something then I heard some ghastly breathing

cobalt ice
gritty sky
#

Maybe it’s the glowing eye thing from the narco tunnel? There’s a paper you can find in the station that says there is tunnels that have to be man made as well

heady gull
#

you can now use images in here

cobalt ice
#

if you stand by the table at the end, and look after the brick wall, you kinda see an arch

gritty sky
#

I see what you mean, I remember noticing it a few months ago too

#

The arch not the nosies

cobalt ice
#

yeah

radiant sonnet
#

We also have the strange room they found behind the wall

radiant sonnet
gritty sky
#

There’s a paper you can find that mentions several hidden rooms found that were wired for surveying the station

cobalt ice
radiant sonnet
#

Who’s to say the MLO hasn’t been watching since the start

cobalt ice
#

was this here before? in detective bureau?

gritty sky
#

That was there after the dlc gets installed

#

I noticed it as I did a walk around before I did the first mission

radiant sonnet
#

I might be right on the MLO tracking judge since the beginning

gritty sky
#

Judge is probably a MLO plant

radiant sonnet
#

Just tagged this line from the MLO

gritty sky
#

The first report on him mentioned very quick promotions to team lead even for desperate times

#

The second report also mentions that while judge operates effectively, he is almost acts like a machine waiting for input

#

The second report for anyone who wants to see

radiant sonnet
#

So judge is a sleeper agent waiting to either pop or break free

gritty sky
#

There is a few papers you can find that mentions several ex USIA members or just subjects of the experiments being placed into positions of power, the phone call in the bank mentions rebuilding from the top

#

MLO is likely putting these sleeps agents into these high positions to reform these various institutions in their image from behind the scenes

radiant sonnet
#

True plus they mention a lot about subprojects and signals and one even mentioned “the ritual begins”

dawn saddle
#

where the hell is the briefcase

gritty sky
#

I’m wondering if FISA plays into this at all because they are awfully suspicious in this ordeal, they have said almost next to nothing for us and just kinda have been observing

#

It could also connect to them wanting us to close the crate back in hide and seek

radiant sonnet
#

Yeah I was about to say. Maybe they know and hope or maybe know judge is a plant and are hoping he will close this for them so they can have clean hands

gritty sky
#

They are one of the many agencies/factions observing judge for sure, how deep in they are with MLO is unclear

#

There is also a line you can hear near the chiefs office form two officers on a bench that the chief of police is potentially suspicious as well

gritty sky
#

Here’s a message that explains a bit

amber holly
#

i understand it now

gritty sky
#

The laptop isint the computer you out the code in tho, it’s a red herring as a later message says. Instead you have to find a computer that turns on somewhere randomly on the map

dawn saddle
#

yeah i think i messed it up my doing the PC then the laptop

gritty sky
#

You can get in without doing the laptop, the laptop just changes dialogue for a line if I recall

#

Well more so changes what branch of dialogue you hear

dawn saddle
#

yeah i dont know why but i got 1 keycard off a dead guard, got the password, did the PC, collected the laptop as evidence, found the safe too the note, activated the laptop and the vault still wont open

#

am i missing another keycard

gritty sky
#

Did you get the vault keycard?

dawn saddle

#

You get the safe one from the guard corpse, then you find the vault card in a briefcase in a random place

Anyone else find the file on Judge in the police chiefs office?

#

I found both, one in the office and one in the interview rooms.

It basically confirms that Judge is probably not entirely sane and is disassociated because of something (I’m assuming PTSD but also could be from USIA/MK Ultra kinda shit)

#

Intresting tidbit, there is this evidence that mentions Blackwood as a place where these explosives where stolen from/to. During the mission A New America. I had a arrested suspect say "I know what you did at Blackwood" or "I was there with you at blackwood". So judge is most likely involved with this

Crazy idea:
In the new evidence files, it mentions that Judge is like a machine waiting for commands and orders. At this point, it’s practically confirmed that he is also a sleeper agent and all sleeper agents have a handler of some sort… What if we, the player, are his handler? What if judge is simply a reflection of our consciousness, morality and soul?
Depending on our actions and sense of justice, Judge can be a symbol of hope in a world gone mad… Or he can be the cold, hard reality of the long arm of the law: The executioner is as guilty as the murderer.

# calm lake Crazy idea: In the new evidence files, it mentions that Judge is like a machine ...

I think Judge was one of the successful plants, the true soldier, of the USIA. Later, it confirms he does have connections to USIA and even old mariposa lilly members. In the ||bank vault, he talks about remembering the person on the call, talking how he killed Vale.|| Judge knows who these people are, and Judge is taunted constantly by the main mariposa member during the last mission. Judge is the poster child of what the USIA wanted the mariposa to be, but they are so envious of Judge that they lead him here just fo break him. Because they know how to break him, because they are just like him

“We, the citizens of Los Sueños, are stuck in a living nightmare. I’d say we need to open our eyes, but the gunshots that echo through our streets year over year make it impossible to even sleep.

CONSTANT mass shootings, bombings, robberies, roving gangs, cartels, human trafficking, terror attacks.

Is SWAT going to show up?

Maybe.

How many more times?

What is being done to actually prevent this? Last night our one charity event to address this crisis was a terror target, now all we have from it are photos of massacre, putrid skin bubbling on victims and survivors.

We try to deal with droughts that kill our ability to feed our communities. Drugs that devastate our families. Collapsing banking systems. Criminal organizations who fester on the corruption. The federal government can barely even help us.

It almost seems like they want us to fall apart

We tried. We gave the LSPD and this whole s**tshow a shot. What are we doing as the blood of every innocent person who dies on our streets boils in the cracks?

NOW WE MUST TAKE TO THE STREETS, TO THE BANKS, TO THOSE IN THEIR IVORY TOWERS, TO THE FAILED JUSTICE SYSTEMS THAT LEAVE US TO SUFFER”```

I think someone might’ve already said something about it here but the third mission (of the Boiling Point DLC) had some unauthorized chatter from the supposed MLO when they were tapping into Judge’s comms, anyone gotten some sort of transcript to the guy’s yapping?

# radiant sonnet Just tagged this line from the MLO

Ok basically I decided to try running through New America multiple times to try seeing the different chatter that comes from MLO guy that hacked our comms (since I basically tried combing through this chat for a transcript about the "newly appointed TOC" that a certain person didn't even help me with whilst he hasn't pointed me in the right direction). I couldn't really get that far since I was doing this around 1 AM but this is what Judge heard so far from what I could suspect is the section leader for this MLO raiding party within the city hall.

radiant sonnet
tall tundra
# radiant sonnet I’m not fully sure if this will lead anywhere for the ARG but it feels like this...

Right now the reason why I was curious in finding more about the MLO chatter is simply to find motivations behind New America as well as how their speech just doesn't feel normal at all. I guess a good example that I am trying to look further into, and hopefully isn't just some overthinking, was the first image about "Satisfaction is hollow." It reminded me of Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot which looking at it again, I felt like there might be something within this poem. Here's the first part of his poem:

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour.
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men

Link: https://poets.org/poem/hollow-men

radiant sonnet
#

That’s actually not a bad start to looking at something

tall tundra
#

Its even a bit too good of a coincidence given the context of Carcosa and how this poem mentions about a kingdom and such hollow men (my interpretations of the hollow men when looking into the bio of T.S. Eliot would be the soldiers who were survivors of the first world war, or even any survivor of such conflicts) who come from it

Just finished All Gods Burn, people keep talking about a safe, but I have no clue where it is, I've already been in the vault, but people keep talking about a small safe, any ideas?

#

There’s a small safe you can find that you can open with a key you can find on a guards corpse

#

You can use it to get a code for a laptop that changes the dialogue in the vault if I recall correctly

It almost entirely changes what the phone call says and how judge responds to it

I won’t spoil so I recommend highly, doing it yourself

tall tundra
# tall tundra Right now the reason why I was curious in finding more about the MLO chatter is ...

Looking back into the poem of the Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot and the assumed John MLO in the first picture talking to Judge, "Satisfaction is hollow. Let us fill that emptiness for you."

I could try making more connections with his other stanzas, hopefully trying to come to some sort of understanding with their abnormal speech. Here's some of my assumptions that I have gotten so far.

2nd Stanzas:
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death’s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

Let me be no nearer
In death’s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat’s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer—

Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom

Notes: The reason it caught my interest was because around lines 11-18, not that it mentions about the kingdom that is present within Eliot's speech but also of how he states about such disguises and "behaving as the wind behaves," like trying to blend into the crowd of sorts. This could be a resemblance that could be formed towards the actions of the MLO and the USIA, attempting to accomplish such goals whilst maintaining secrecy (The Three Letter Triad mission with the ongoing chemical weapons deal as well as the theory with Judge and his ties with the USIA). This could also refer to such a build up of events from the MLO which would lead them to doing what they have planned on accomplishing within the New America mission, with a few of the suspects seen wearing civilian/government attire which could indicate the MLO also doing an inside job beforehand.

#

4th Stanzas
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Notes: The last few lines, with the mention of death's twilight kingdom that could be achieved by the hope of empty men, which is also the hollow men seen throughout the poem, can be a reference towards the MLO and the title of the last mission for the new dlc. This sort of achievement that can be made by hollow men (my interpretations being the sleeper agents of the USIA/MLO members) who could accomplish the goals towards bringing forth a newly reformed United States into what can be deemed "perfect" in a sense. I could add onto this idea of such reformation by looking at the first pair of lines, with the mention of the hollow valley and the "broken jaw of our lost kingdom" that is written. Going back to Ready or Not, it may be implied about the veterans of the Vietnam War in this timeline who have won, and this sense of greater nationalism that they are looking to achieve once again for reasons that may be unknown (possibly to start yet another set of conflicts but that's where I am going to end it there).

This is pretty much what I could gather so far, as well as make some interpretations and assumptions. This poem just happens to just hit close to home when looking back at Carcosa, the King in Yellow, as well as the MLO/USIA. Especially with the concept of such hollow men and the lost kingdom, seeing such great similarities. But overall, it might just be a big coincidence but hopefully there is something important being referenced.

I guess I could give input right now for one of the comms that got me interested.

Within TOC_MLO (Not the V2 set), if you give a listen to arrest_30 the MLO hijacker mentions to Judge about containment and how "they wrote about it ages ago." I suppose with the knowledge of the MLO and their deeply rooted connections to the USIA, it could be inferring to one of the U.S. policies back in the cold war known as the Domino Theory; a Cold War era policy which suggests that if one nation in Southeast Asia fell to communism (that being Vietnam), neighboring nations would inevitably fall towards Communist rule. This would eventually lead to the idea of containing this political threat through the means of having the United States deploy into Vietnam, in which during this timeline it seems that the United States were victorious. Overall, it could be an indication that the MLO has been established during the Cold War era as a means to keeping such political threats out from countries that the United States deems to have potential to which after that they may have been deactivated until the USIA decided to pick it back up and perform their LSD experiements (or it was maybe during the same time but I am not too sure).

# meager canyon Textures from Judges House

Looking through the textures, I have a good feeling that Judge might go rogue in a future DLC and hunt down MLO members: Either for answers or for vengeance for the lives lost because of them

Which would be an absolutely awesome DLC

I know I heard it before but maybe I have forgotten it since it’s been a whilst since I picked RoN back up

tall tundra
#

I found out by accidentally turning mines on and seeing an IR laser on the ground

#

Basically it just notifies the MLO guys when to perform a counter breach on you

idle gorge
#

Tbf it would have been easier to do ANA if I wasn’t using sheriff deputy patrol kits

tall tundra
#

It’s noticeable if you see those little black placements of the lasers, but it has such a small registry box to disarm it like a normal tripwire

#

So I wouldn’t blame anyone for not noticing

idle gorge
#

I wonder if some of the guys on ANA might be at least partially funded by foreign states because im pretty sure they are wearing Russian gorkas, this could go further than just LS

next knoll

where the hell is the MLO hand with the dismembered thing

#

I scoured the entire evidence locker. What's the S rank evidence rewards for the ANA?

tall tundra
#

And plus, considering the MLO and its deep history with the USIA that is already known so far, I feel like making a deal with Russians would be the last thing they would ever want to do if they are looking to achieve a “New America”

#

But they’re rouge so I doubt they care about their latest parameters and just focused more to completing their given goals

Going to use some old lore but knowing Judge use to work for the USIA, and seeing some of the faces scratched off, what if it might be some sort of kill list

I have a weird theory about a small game detail that could fill some gaps. It has some holes, but its just something I've been mulling over.

This promotional image has always struck a cord with me - this is clearly King, deceased, being clutched by Judge who seems to not be taking it well.

We know now that Judge lost a team in Nevada in 2017 - he was the sole survivor of some incident that caused him to leave the force and transfer to LSPD eventually.

Have you ever noticed that Eli, Swan, King, and Prescott are not available in 'Commander' mode? Could is be that these 4 were Judge's original team in 2017 in the lore (like how technically they were his original team in 2017 during development!) and were the ones that he lost? Maybe in the tutorial and Quick Play, Judge is experiencing some form of PTSD and imagining his old team?

Im 99% sure that the First cohert was the one we see in the Original MLO trailer, More cult like but less organized, Less of a threat, These were made in the 70s OG MK ultra expirements, These guys were stopped on the Dam Attack. And the one we face in game I believe to be the Second Cohert from the 90s.

Well you can have a listen at least, although I don’t know if it works on mobile

Might just be a reference to an old arg step

Luckily we have the old arg google doc archived in our current doc

#

@shrewd yarrow "The Seven Towers aligns their gaze to the stars, and the new Towers will arise as the godhead will bestow us the invisible guiding hand for America, for the world."

i wonder what he means by the 7 towers aligning?

and ‘the new towers arising’ could be a reference to this new faction attempting to overthrow the current, less competent government in los suenos?

It seems the Spider Organisation is the real power behind the scenes in the US. They appear to be followers of the occult and possess knowledge of the city’s origins and history.

It's really no secret that RoN parallels season 1 of true detective and the ending of this story arc definitely reminds of it as well. Spoilers for the show: ||At the end after taking down Errol they never really piece together the true purpose or origin of the cult They managed to defeat the current evil they're fighting (like Judge with the MLO) but that's kind of the end of their involvment with it. (Obviously this could change if more content comes out.) ||

I was taking a look at the weird American flag only present on New America, and it looks like some of the "stars" (they clearly arent actually stars) are marked w/ symbols? Also side by side comparison.

This is the only one of these specific flags in the entire game as far as I've seen, and everyone I've talked to about it with in #👮ron-discussion and even here had no idea. Curious if anyone has any more ideas, since a one-off thing in a game where assets get reused all the time makes me believe it definitely means something.

Also I think that the reveal of Judge having been theorycrafting this entire time about all the little hints he's been given through missions (the way the playerbase has been) is insanely meta and I think it's an awesome touch

THE MLO IS THE GROUP ON THREE LETTER TRIAD AND ALSO WERE AVAILABLE DURING THE BETA OR ALPHA OF READY OR NOT AND THEY HAVE MOLES IN USIA FISA. LSPD.

HE HAS LSPD ARSENAL ACCESS AND EVIDENCE ROOM ACCESS, AND MLO GOT THE GAS WEAPON FROM THREE LETTER TRIAD AND M14’S THAT ARE LSPD STYLED AND POLICD MARKSMANS AND POLICE OFFICERS AND ALSO HAVE LSPD RADIOS MILITARY ALSO GUNS ARMOR AND ETC.

Ah, Senior animator

ivory wren
#

Yeah, I'm curious to see where this goes, I remember me and my friends were huge into the ARG back in 2022ish, It's been a while and it looks like it's fully integrated into the main story now

worn walrus
#

So what is the MLO’s end goal, or is it unconfirmed atp?

hang on

ivory wren

no no

#

this was the 2022 one

I did get the Failure Ending so I’m pretty sure I’m right on that

Judge better have some untapped cosmic powers if he’s this popular goddam

shrewd yarrow
#

due to the prior community manager running it and he is now gone 🙁

ivory wren
#

If we're not getting lore drops through the ARG anymore, it'll probably just be through the game story, which isn't that bad

shrewd yarrow
#

true

worn walrus
#

I prefer lore through the game anyway

#

More noticeable

shrewd yarrow
#

i actually like both

ivory wren
#

Yeah honestly, I like the payoff the MLO had, it was years of very subtle build up in the ARG to this, their faction didn't disappoint at all

#

They were quite genuinely everything I expected and more

shrewd yarrow
#

it's nice to have pov from in game and a pov from the shadows

#

it gives the world more life

ivory wren
#

What I personally think is, the MLO arc might be over, like they'll still exist but not ever again to the extent of A New America, and the next arc is probably the spider

ivory wren
worn walrus
shrewd yarrow
#

i honestly think this is just the beginning for the MLO

ivory wren
#

Yeah, I'd say so, it's also just the way the man in the green gloves talks. He dismisses the MLO in a way that hasn't happened in the narrative before, it really does seem like his dialogue is setting us up for the next big thing.

ivory wren
shrewd yarrow
#

to have them come out and be a one and done with all the build up seems like a waste

worn walrus
#

Yeah, I really love the MLO and I don’t want them to go away just like that.

ivory wren
#

True, where do you think it would go with them next though?

worn walrus
#

Not sure. Could be a second attempt at political collapse.

#

Or maybe a more subtle approach, like getting their own guy to become mayor or governor because they did kill Whitfield.

#

Well allegedly, all we know is his car exploded while inside

shrewd yarrow
#

(all background stuff)

delicate shoal
#

instead of just like the subtle manipulation through the radio

worn walrus
#

This is very much wishful thinking but it’d be sick for a DLC to come out and we’re playing as a different person, in the MLO maybe.

#

Probably won’t ever happen

ivory wren
#

Yeah I guess we'll see if we get more MLO stuff.

I do wonder how they'd handle it though because I doubt they want to use the MLO AI on too many missions, because they're just extremely unique and also extremely difficult for the average player to fight.

worn walrus
#

Maybe a lesser militia version. Or just using the BSG more.

ivory wren
#

There is also something else I've been thinking of, maybe wishful thinking but, A New America is the perfect setup to reintroduce pvp if the devs are still about that. They were the opposing faction in old pvp, and their skillset perfectly matches what you'd want opposing SWAT.

Also you can find what I believe are unused voicelines, I do know they exist though, I saw them in a voice line compilation video, but the voice lines are for MLO commands like deploying shields and a couple other tools they don't use on A New America

#

And I kinda doubt they'd use a shield on PVE?

worn walrus
#

Were they commanding others to use a shield or telling others they’re going to use a shield

ivory wren
#

I think it was a command

worn walrus
#

I doubt that’d be used for PvP. Can’t really tell other people to do stuff when they’re another player.

ivory wren
#

I mean the game currently has the ingame command system you can use for multiplayer teammates if you don't wanna use your voice

#

Though, you could be right

worn walrus
#

Maybe they’ll reintroduce PvP then. Or they’ll keep focusing on PvE and storytelling.

#

We can’t know for sure until the next content update

#

Also is that thing about the US winning the vietnam war still a thing or no?

shrewd yarrow
#

no idea

ivory wren
#

I scrolled up and read that, but I don't know anything about it

worn walrus
#

I think it started with Shayne Nobody Cares mentioning an award that mentions Saigon which was renamed to Ho Chi Minh City after South Vietnam was annexed by Notth Vietnam

#

I think it was a placeholder but idk if it was popular enough that the devs woulda implemented it

sharp raptor
#

Does the Green Dragon Society control the USIA and the MLO?

crude sleet
#

No, i do

GDS actually appeared in Sins of the Father iirc

Green Dragon Society, the suspected group the man with the green gloves belongs to

I believe that both the Spider Organisation and the GDS are elite organisations that originated several centuries ago. The oil painting found in the villa suggests that the Spider Organisation may have originated in the 17th century, and the Green Dragon Society may have existed at that time as well.

ivory wren
#

Can anybody verify this? I can't find it

hidden bobcat
#

Shayne's video?

ivory wren
#

Yeah, I just watched it and I swear they didn't mention the green dragon? Did I miss it somehow?

iron frost
hidden bobcat
#

and yes GDS is confirmed in Sins of the Father

ivory wren
#

Where are they depicted?

#

in photos

that's about it

and void seems to be stressing the existence of GDS in A New America

sharp raptor

#

a lot of Japanese and Tibetan stuff are put in that level

echo cave
#

no way spider rules anything but themselves, theyre a mass organized crime syndicate with deep connections

sharp raptor

Spider had no trouble at all in bringing Los Locos and the Glukhovskoye Mafia under their control

n then i think its not far off to assume they all work together in fact, but the why exactly isnt confirmed

ivory wren
#

It's also probably worth pointing out the mannequins in the secret room wear MLO masks, that seems like a very non-coincidental act, perhaps they have a strong link, all speculative though
