Like the lore. Who knows, you might be following an old rabbit hole

[faint sapphire]

uff sry

[acoustic osprey]

No worries

[chrome acorn]

when you read the map upside down and end up in the hood

[acoustic osprey]

Ah man

Can't wait for the new one as well
I presume there isn't going to be lore on it (or much lore) up first

Guessing, for now, it's more things sent here and a bit of auditory stuff

[chrome acorn]

I’m guessing it will be slightly different than whatever you were shown

like zods

[acoustic osprey]

Need to listen to the morse code tracks again

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah, mine I saw will be different

Not sure how much different, but different

Which means, whenever it's posted, I'll talk about the new one as much as I can

Because not much to talk aboutfor now

[slow delta]

We lost Alfie!

oh poor alfie, survived operation inferno, came to the isle, became hyper only to succumb to decanonization smh my head

[acoustic osprey]

Who knows

We've seen the return of a good plenty others, haven't really asked about the rest

[oblique surge]

still cannon in my heart 😊

[acoustic osprey]

A cannon

[chrome acorn]

la bomba

[slow delta]

did i miss something with phase 3?

[acoustic osprey]

Not p3, just mostly QnA with Don

[tribal osprey]

most gigachad text Ive ever seen in islecord

"Getting to chat with both new people to lore, and old, is really good"

https://tenor.com/view/gigachad-chad-gif-20773266

[oblique surge]

big boom!

[edgy pike]

alfie was tragically shot with a cannon ball

[acoustic osprey]

We know the comedic Trinity returning
Echidna, Colossus and Repear (with Repear, might be a misread)

Obvious stuff like the Replicator, herself

And the confirmation of Tartarus

Might've missed some stuff, I'll check back on my doc, but that's all for the time being

[chrome acorn]

[acoustic osprey]

[edgy pike]

which gateway fits very nicely around from the sounds of it

[acoustic osprey]

Aye

Very
With the previous, unrealised, references from old lore

[chrome acorn]

i wonder if there’s a gatekeeper

[bold crater]

I wanna say (may be wrong though ;o;) Reaper is still a thing, it's just the design that is changing. The creature itself still exists.

[chrome acorn]

yes

[bold crater]

I hope Tissoplastic keeps the whole stealth focus though <:I

I need camouflaging dinosaurs, I can't think of any game that has done camouflage right :C

[acoustic osprey]

Likely

[bold crater]

"Actual camouflage that takes skill to use and looks cool? Nah, let's just make it cheap and go the Predator cloak route even though it makes 0 sense for an animal"

Wonder if Reaper will lose the backwards scythe arms 😛

[chrome acorn]

i hope it does

they attach at the wrist it’s very odd

personally cannot wait to see the new designs for tissos

[bold crater]

If it keeps the bat vibe, I hope they just straight up make it a vampire-bat-human-thing

Like wing arms n' such

[chrome acorn]

Morb

[bold crater]

Tissos being a mix of vampire and stealth

Perhaps parasitic is a better term than vampire

A strain where you just siphon off of others. Smaller, faster, creepier.

Maybe insectoid

[chrome acorn]

i always liked tapwings tisso dilo cobra thing

[bold crater]

Imagine seeing a grasshopper looking Omni. All twitchy and spastic.

[bold crater]

That one's a cutie. I love it.

If only Dilo got strains.....seems VERY deserving of them.

[chrome acorn]

an insect vibe could work might stray a bit too much into xenomorph territory though

[bold crater]

Is that a bad thing?

[chrome acorn]

I think don mentioned a monster dilo at some point in a stream but no strains ye

[bold crater]

Does make you wonder what he means by "monster". Like does that imply the existence of other variants of species?

Plus wasn't there also some monster Allo or something?.....I remember something involving Allo.

Something about it's skull integrity failing?

[chrome acorn]

could have something to do with the crazy plants changing you stuff he said along time ago If that’s still cannon

[bold crater]

[acoustic osprey]

Monsters are the variants, more so

[bold crater]

Yeah but like what ARE they 😮

And why? 😮

[chrome acorn]

A big ole tree casually changing things about you that you didn’t know could be changed

[bold crater]

Takes away things you didn't know you even had o-o

"Huh, I didn't know Tenontos had a second stomach. Neat!" dies

[chrome acorn]

takes lunch money

[chrome acorn]

would be neat if the echidna planted a garden

a garden of horrible neuro plants

[bold crater]

I can picture weird plants sprouting with every step she takes

[chrome acorn]

That’d be neat

she could have her own little Forrest

that’s just actually hell

[bold crater]

A forest where she can literally control the environment

I wonder if she can talk Maybe through telepathy.....

[chrome acorn]

she speaks to the tribals apparently

[bold crater]

I always wanted Neurotenics in general to have a cool chat effect when they use cross-species communication. Like instead of just appearing in the chat like normal, it'd feel like something is tapping into your head.

So like your hearing would kinda muffle, there'd be a freaky ambience of sorts while it displays the message, and then you'd see the words it said displayed all wavy and neuro....y....

Like this or something ^ 😛

[acoustic osprey]

Who?

[bold crater]

Echidna why is she called that by the way

[acoustic osprey]

Oh yes she can talk

[chrome acorn]

or they could make you muscle spasm and bite your friends

[acoustic osprey]

She can imitate people she has heard
Aka. you have a dead friend?

She can lure you in with it

[acoustic osprey]

Greek mytho

[bold crater]

Talking to your buddy on the radio when suddenly you stop mid-sentence. He asks you what's wrong as you just stare at his corpse in front of you.

[chrome acorn]

Maybe she’s a egg laying mammal nvm

[bold crater]

Ah.

[chrome acorn]

In Greek mythos she’s the mother of a lot of Greek monsters

[bold crater]

[chrome acorn]

soooo hey maybe she can make you into a monster

[bold crater]

YEEEEEEEEEAH

Make me go from 9ft unga bunga to 12ft OOGA BOOGA!

[chrome acorn]

I wonder if she can make animals into monsters but they have to follow her instructions or die

[bold crater]

[rustic urchin]

I remember a looong time ago we got an audio teaser

Presumably of a person transforming into a cannibal/tribal

[bold crater]

b'scuse me?

[rustic urchin]

Idk how accurate that interpretation is or if it’s canon anymore, but yea that was a thing

[bold crater]

Interesting.

[pseudo fable]

||I bet you wouldn't guess that there's a bullet point list to help identify the difference between an intrusive thought and a thought that's not your own.

Because there is.||

[chrome acorn]

the time has come for knowledge

[rustic urchin]

Would also be cool if some neuros could do advanced sound mimicry, maybe even utilize human proximity chat

[woeful chasm]

Unknowingly get to close to a Neuro and you suddenly hear "Hey..." in your ear

[sand seal]

“Want some candy” -a child’s voice, Predator 2.

[woeful chasm]

haha

[sand seal]

Predator 2 was great.

[rustic urchin]

“Anytime”

[bold crater]

[chrome acorn]

are you ready

[rustic urchin]

Annihilation bear neuros would be crazy

[bold crater]

🥱in all seriousness, prolly

[rustic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/annihilation-scary-man-bear-pig-gif-14543835

[bold crater]

Reminds me of H-Giga a bit.

[acoustic osprey]

Jeffery? Is that you?

[acoustic osprey]

The Isle and it's Greek mytho connections lol

[bold crater]

Any time I see Tartarus mentioned, I just think of Arbiter saying it.

Tartar sauce

[chrome acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/halo2anniversary-halo2-the-arbiter-sgt-johnson-tartarus-gif-20916064

[rustic urchin]

Tartarus lore would be really cool since we don’t really know much about it

[sharp knoll]

The beginning of The Isle

[rustic urchin]

We know the map Gateway is one gateway to Tartarus, and we have guesses as to what Tartarus is, but afaik it hasn’t been confirmed

[edgy pike]

I’m wondering if it’s a physical entrance we can actually go to during gameplay

Because old lore said looking to the sky showed the path or something

[acoustic osprey]

A/the Gateway to Tartarus

[acoustic osprey]

Through Gateway, I doubt there are multiple "gateways" to Tartarus, unless portals exist.

With Gateway being the only "Gateway"

[edgy pike]

We’ve been bamboozled

We have NOT

[acoustic osprey]

Nice

[edgy pike]

GUTS official name let’s go

[fast adder]

amazing

[wicked sable]

WAIT

[acoustic osprey]

So, wonder what I'm allowed to say lol

[fast adder]

i held on and it was worth it

[edgy pike]

Would tar tar sauce be at the bottom or top of this map?

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

[pulsar rock]

The isle

[chrome acorn]

The 3 gods

[jovial spruce]

so we have 3 "places" i guess

[acoustic osprey]

Olympus Transmitter

[jovial spruce]

zeus, hades and poseidon. hades implies underground

poisodon water and zeus air, the 3 domains of the gods named

[naive crane]

theres more

#isle-phase-three

[jovial spruce]

i have no idea what to make of olympus transmitter

[pulsar rock]

Someone assemble the images

[chrome acorn]

The 3 sons of Cronus

[acoustic osprey]

@rustic halo back and ready to rumble

[shut remnant]

this is giving me majour SCP vibes god damn

[chrome acorn]

The titan locked in Tartarus

[wicked sable]

And we have 3 main strains, so maybe each island could have something to do with their respective strain?

[acoustic osprey]

No, that'd be. Yeah

[jovial spruce]

you should not hear an echo... neuro types?

[wicked sable]

ok

[jovial spruce]

people speaking to you might be gen 1s? as it relates to after dark

[acoustic osprey]

It's definitely a tube map of sorts

[oblique surge]

Zeus poseidon and hades
my theory grows stronger

[edgy pike]

I feel like Echinda is roaming around that part of the island given the nature of all those warnings

[acoustic osprey]

Likely Gen 1s or Eyeless

[jovial spruce]

a biotrace i assume is something to do with creations of the replicator

[spring nimbus]

can someone elaborate on the things that were posted?

[shut remnant]

what do you guys think about errant-291? it's speaking so it seems to be a person(or possibly a neuro?)

[spring nimbus]

i am confused

[acoustic osprey]

The broken maps is a tube map showing multiple locations

[jovial spruce]

its almost certainly a person

[spring nimbus]

i wonder what they are trying to show us

[shut remnant]

oh ye it mentions stationary so it's most likely a person

[acoustic osprey]

A map of sorts

[edgy pike]

Well now we know roughly where to go the moment the map drops

[chrome acorn]

Ay that was mine too

[shut remnant]

but why would some random person get a classification like erant-291?

[oblique surge]

definetly a person
probably being influenced by a neuro

[jovial spruce]

i'm interested about "structural anomalies"

i wonder what that entails

[wicked sable]

what does that even mean?

erant-291, anyways

[shut remnant]

idk but it feels more like something refering to a test subject then like an employee ID

[jovial spruce]

they lack a "biotrace"

[oblique surge]

our theory grows stronger

[gentle vessel]

I tried to fix the page

[jovial spruce]

which i presume means they were not created by the replicator

[strong spire]

since when the isle had lore?

[acoustic osprey]

Wonder if I'm allowed to send the fixed version lol

[chrome acorn]

There’s a middle piece missing

[acoustic osprey]

Many years ago

[wicked sable]

since the start

[elfin hazel]

"BRRANT-291 was detained wandering near D Section interior approximately _ _ after SHIFT on _ [1]. 291 was found to possess no active biotrace, but stating their name to be _ and their designation to be _
Their only personal items consisted of an employee badge [2] and torn stationary [3]. At no point did 291 display any outward hostility during detainment.

Upon review, no checkpoint teams left post, nor was a previously unmapped access found. Three sweep teams were sent from ZEUS entry through _ access.
Only units _ and _ returned [4].
Single object recovered from 291 was a torn piece of documentaion, documented and archived below. Reference 291-0[4].

When leaving GUTS access to _ , 291 suffered fatal cardiac arrest [5].

_ marked redundant

Hardpoint re-established as of _

Witness Statement

---

for those that have a hard time reading

[oblique surge]

if they really were being controlled or significantly influenced by a neuro its very much possible AE just re classified the guy

[strong spire]

damn

[jovial spruce]

"do not permit them to enter" is interesting

[shut remnant]

since literally the beggining, there's lore on the kickstarter lol

[edgy pike]

Short for aberrant maybe? A staff member/human/other who’s under the influence of Echidna or something?

[jovial spruce]

almost vampire like. why would they need your permission? or perhaps it just means do not open the doors for them

[soft spade]

this is very interesting

[golden crane]

Wait I gotta catch up, what’s echidna

[edgy pike]

Could be something like this

[icy onyx]

Now to get more lore it would be cool to find these in game

[sharp knoll]

Makes sense

[rustic urchin]

So I’m guessing this is in reference to either troodon, gen 1, or eyeless

[hushed zodiac]

I’m not sure what the documents are even trying to say

[gentle vessel]

The Titan for the neuro strain, the big slender man looking thing

[wicked sable]

this is giving off major scp vibes

[golden crane]

And that guy can control things?

[gentle vessel]

Neuros are the psychic ones so maybe

[elfin hazel]

So it seems like whatever this 291 is refers to itself as blank? and their designation to be blank? Has to be a strain then. Some neuro creature or something so intelligent it wants itself to be referred to as something specific???

[golden crane]

Interesting

[gusty thorn]

oh shoot they brought back olympus

[silk token]

can someone explain the lore?

[rustic urchin]

291 seems like a worker

[acoustic osprey]

Could be infected

[oblique surge]

doesnt have to be a neuro per say
just someone who knows about that stuff that a neuro, maybe echidna herself? can manipulate

[little oxide]

or maybe one of the Gen 2s

[hushed zodiac]

For context, this is a neurotenic spino, it’s a strain

[rustic urchin]

My bet, or maybe envenomated?

[keen swan]

Put together if it hasn’t already

[chrome acorn]

F is Tartarus this is my guess

[gentle vessel]

Issue there

[jovial spruce]

olympus if i had to guess, and it really is a guess, is something to do with communicating with the replicator?

[golden crane]

Eyy it’s got that woodpecker thounge

[gentle vessel]

It says r n d, and tartarus is the holding pen

[jovial spruce]

Olympus being the home of the gods, or perhaps its physical location?

[acoustic osprey]

Likely, something along the line of "infected"

[rustic urchin]

We don’t know for sure what Tartarus is iirc

[hushed zodiac]

Who is “they”, what would cause an echo?

[elfin hazel]

if they are why do they have to make sure and document that it has no actove biotrace? Is this a normal thing to keep track of this Biotrace? is their some infection of sorts or biotraces going around? what is it?

[gentle vessel]

So whatever f is, it’s where stuff got made

[rustic halo]

@calm vale MY LOVE YOU’RE STILL CANON ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[icy onyx]

Imo this is referring to an incident that happened to someone in the GUTS, then when people got sent in to see if something weird was happening only a couple returned. The footnotes reference other documents and such so imo we will either get those in phase 3 in the future or I would just wanna find them in game to unlock the rest of the info from this story.

[hushed zodiac]

Sounds like something in the jungle that sounds like people

[rustic urchin]

Seems like they’re pretty OCD about biotrace stuff. If there’s bad things infecting people I would be too

[elfin hazel]

whats biotrace

[old stone]

Pretty sure it's a transmitter, not a cannon

[oblique surge]

is mythology its a prision which houses kronos (I think)
could possibly be the place where the replicator is built

[acoustic osprey]

Oh no, it's definitely not literally a "home of gods"
Could be their HQ

[gentle vessel]

Also works to keep your testing humans separate from the normals

[chrome acorn]

What happens outside after sunset dondi

[golden crane]

Maybe Troodon

[old stone]

Kronos and a lot of other big nasties

[acoustic osprey]

Likely just the physical thing being canon, yeah

[jovial spruce]

not gods in the literal sense but there is a lot of reference to greek theology

[rustic urchin]

Like biological material left behind I believe. Skin cells, bacteria, etc

[shut remnant]

wait the errant story mentions errant-291 running near a "D-section interior", would this be referring to the other document's map with the "D-section" being near the olympus transmitter?

[elfin hazel]

damn they gotta make sure the man didnt shed

[little oxide]

I really like the "Offline?" over Olympus transmitter since we havent had anything new come from that #transmissions for almost 2 years now

[oblique surge]

the replicator and the strain titans? 👁️

[acoustic osprey]

A lot of Greek Mytho in Isle, obviously.
Literally Evrima being of Greek

[gentle vessel]

Hmmm

[icy onyx]

Wonder if we will get to explore this area and repower the transmitter

[jovial spruce]

its a transmitter, the question is what is it transmitting. data, or something else? instructions?

[old stone]

Mayhapsably

[hushed zodiac]

This game would be insane as a story survival game

[gentle vessel]

My guess is after sun set SOME kind of critter starts trouble, either troo, a neuro or maybe dilo

[shut remnant]

that's what it wants to be lol

[acoustic osprey]

Echidna, in more "modern times", could likely be using it.
We know she can voice people she has heard to lure people in

[old stone]

#transmissions

[rustic urchin]

If previous stuff is canon, it was transmitting cryptic stuff

[hushed zodiac]

I would think a neuro because of this

[shut remnant]

also if erant-291 was found wandering near the transmitter, maybe the transmitter is involved with the situation?

[hushed zodiac]

Who is they? Them? “You should not hear an echo.”

[wicked sable]

There is one transmission that says "DO NOT PASS GATEWAY. DO NOT ANSWER THE CALL.", maybe the "call" is the echo?

[jovial spruce]

interesting, is there only a singular echinda?

[shut remnant]

also zeus entry directly connects to section D, and the document mentions a sweep team entering through zeus entry

[acoustic osprey]

Mother of The Cannibals
Most definitely just one

[hushed zodiac]

It could be echidna

[rustic urchin]

Could be gen 1, eyeless, echidna, or troodon. All possibly have high intelligence and mimicry

[gentle vessel]

From what we know, yes. The Titans are each singular beings

[old stone]

I will say, in Greek mythology echidna is the mother of monsters

[acoustic osprey]

I say likely Eyeless/Gen 1

[jovial spruce]

interesting, so she is their sole means of propogation? considering the replicator probably isn't making them anymore

[acoustic osprey]

at least, it's not a singular

[wicked sable]

I remember seeing something that said there are 12 tisso reapers

[oblique surge]

well, gen 1 are monsters alright

[acoustic osprey]

She is not the literal mother, more so adopted

[gentle vessel]

They probably mean “mother” as in a guide/care taker less the actual biological mother

[wicked sable]

12 things of that size is horrifying

[jovial spruce]

see in my opinion this is likely something to do with N type, while the one prior likely relates to gen 1

[rustic urchin]

Weird thing is the way 291 died. Cardiac arrest? Wandering aimlessly? Definitely had to have died to some infection or poison

[hushed zodiac]

I think it would be more of the more powerful ones. What would troodon do if it got in? It’s small and I’d imagine easy to kill

[jovial spruce]

dondi did say earlier that N types can put thoughts in your head

[elfin hazel]

honestly pretty scary.

Do not let them enter. If they speak to you, do not reply...

Sheesh that's freaky

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah, either some sort of N-Type or Eyeless
something

[golden crane]

Dilo maybe, remember how it can make you hallucinate?

[rustic urchin]

We do know (from now outdated stuff) that AE got really finicky with bio traces on neuros

[edgy pike]

Would be cool if we get other Titan names referring to ingame stuff, Tethys is a paleo and Greek reference too lol

[acoustic osprey]

So both Zeus, Hades and Poseidon Entries seem to be "down"/"destroyed"

Likely either in present times or just after whatever happened

If so the later, makes sense if "Offline?" refers to Olympus Transmitter

[hushed zodiac]

What would have destroyed Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon entries though?

[shut remnant]

who do you guys think is writing on the documents? a former researcher?

[chrome acorn]

LLLRFL

12/7

[rustic urchin]

#transmissions

[golden crane]

Do we know what LLLRFL might be

[acoustic osprey]

A lot of big guys out there lol

[rustic urchin]

Guys Olympus transmitter channel got deleted

[golden crane]

WHAT

[jovial spruce]

i wonder what LLLRFL means

[rustic halo]

NOOOOO

[wicked sable]

DAMN

[hushed zodiac]

I know echidna is extremely intelligent, but why would it destroy those?

[acoustic osprey]

lol, good

[rustic urchin]

I’m sorry 🙁

[edgy pike]

Guess it really is offline now lmao

[rustic halo]

@calm vale DONT YOU GO TOO DON’T LEAVE ME 😭😭

[icy onyx]

Imo the question mark hints at the need to explore and find out, possibly repower it

[acoustic osprey]

I know Don doesn't want to confuse anyone with old lore

[edgy pike]

The lore doc don’t lie

[chrome acorn]

Might be a code to open the Zeus access point

[wicked sable]

Echidna reminds me of an eldritch deity tbf

[tribal osprey]

Neuros actually remind me of dark ones in Metro 2033

[gentle vessel]

It could have meant to only destroy one, but that one being destroyed broke the other 2, domino effect and all

[golden crane]

True, we gotta remember that

[hexed flax]

So Olympus transmitter is canon again?

[hushed zodiac]

It reminds me of The Forest’s mutations

[acoustic osprey]

Likely.
or that person is confused.

Maybe it says "offline" but they are still getting transmissions (from Echidna )

[little oxide]

Directions maybe.
Left, Left, Left, Right, Forward, Left

[acoustic osprey]

the transmitter is canon
But things it sent? No- hence why deleted

[shut remnant]

that's amazingly creepy lol

[icy onyx]

I like the chance that it could be either or

[oblique surge]

Could Zeus, Hades and Poseidon be where the three strains were originally made?
if the idea of the replicator being kronos is right that means the three strain titans must be the other gods created by it, with each being associated by a god similar to replicator being kronos

[hushed zodiac]

Though, I want to know, what is the purpose of The Isle? Why are there people on there?

[jovial spruce]

because the replicator is, i assume

[acoustic osprey]

They could be the development lab of the trio

[golden crane]

They don’t really make sence, but after all the guy was wandering around aimlessly

[hushed zodiac]

The replicator?

[wicked sable]

we have no clue

[rustic urchin]

Maybe LLLRFL is directions? This guy is a careless worker with a guide to GUTS maybe he had it scribbled down to remember his way through the tunnels

Left Left Left Right Forward Left

[jovial spruce]

giant machine intelligence responsible for creating life, such as the dinos

[acoustic osprey]

AE made Dinosaurs
Made Genetically made humans (Gen 1 + Gen 2)

[oblique surge]

yeah that's what I was thinking

[hushed zodiac]

That would make more sense

[little oxide]

It could still be cannon. My thought is that they were deleted because the data stopped being transmitted

[chrome acorn]

Could be but what’s 12/7 a date? a designation for a facility?

[jovial spruce]

AE made replicator which makes gen 1 and 2 and dinos, yes?

[rustic urchin]

Possibly. Maybe a code?

[wicked sable]

Somebody keep this in mind, when we do get into Gateway this could be important

[acoustic osprey]

Likely AE made Gen 2 (and likely Gen 1)

[short falcon]

i hope the make type Ns reference stranger things

would be cool

[chrome acorn]

perhaps the paper seems to be a rough guide for the tunnel system and the different facilities it is connected to

[tribal osprey]

I hope they make type Ns reference dark ones in metro 2033

[woeful chasm]

Woohoo! finally some lore 😄

[tribal osprey]

Do not let them in Do not listen to them gives off huge dark ones vibes

[short falcon]

wish they'd not cross out the date on these pictures, need to know wether future or past

[rugged compass]

is there a video or document i can look at to get caught up on everything?

[edgy pike]

We eating good

[acoustic osprey]

From what Don has said, I say no

I have to make approvals this morning and I have to track down what was previously released.

Centralize your documents, people. Don't be like me.

Likely Don was going through a bunch of stuff and either approving or removing them

[crisp raven]

is this where we got troodon from

[rustic urchin]

That’s what it made me think of

[acoustic osprey]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wRF05lnHGo1OQe3ovpZ0PaHolKFNHLxjDaxuGvxhaow/edit?usp=sharing

[tribal osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/metro-metro-last-light-10years-of-metro-metro-anniversary-dark-ones-gif-19662370

[woeful chasm]

@acoustic osprey "You should not hear an echo"

[acoustic osprey]

Don't think troodon can speak English

[crisp raven]

that is a different thing

troodons are literally skinwalkers and I love it

[acoustic osprey]

Echo?

[wicked sable]

It could 100% imitate player speech tho

[crisp raven]

troodon imitating human speech

[acoustic osprey]

Sounds more like Gen 1/Eyeless

[golden crane]

Yeah maybe they heard like a worker pounding on a door screaming to let them in

[chrome acorn]

sounds like a neuro playing tricks more than troodon

[acoustic osprey]

Troodon's don't just speak to you.
Their mimicry, if they have any, would be a lot weaker

[golden crane]

And then saw the worker get let in

[acoustic osprey]

Aka. Look at Echidna's abilities

[woeful chasm]

Not creepy at all... "Report any ----------- heard from the jungle. You should not hear an echo."

[crisp raven]

where does it say they speak to you

[crisp raven]

oh. It is Echidna?

[chrome acorn]

“if they talk to you do not answer”

[acoustic osprey]

No, definitely not.
She is just one entity

[hushed zodiac]

Thing is with the troodon theory, I don’t think troodon would be intelligent enough to do this

[woeful chasm]

I took that as the Press

[crisp raven]

what if its genetically modified to do so

[gritty vortex]

Ns > Natives? the "cannibals?"

[chrome acorn]

“Corrupted” people perhaps (eyeless)

[edgy pike]

Yeah I suppose it would be pretty obvious to tell if a Troodon was trying to get into somewhere on the basis it is a dinosaur and not person shaped

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah

[edgy pike]

Unless it’s an intercom only with no cameras

[wicked sable]

And considering that troodon was a lot more intelligent than most dinosaurs, it probably would learn to use this voice to gain access to human structures and trick humans

[little oxide]

Wasn't it mentioned a long time ago that Type N able to mess with your mind make you see and hear things that aren't actually there?

[acoustic osprey]

Ns?

[tribal osprey]

Why would a troodon like to enter a specific human made structure let alone perfectly “mimic” human speech without getting input first?

[golden crane]

Exactly

[chrome acorn]

Neuros I think

[hushed zodiac]

Yeah, I don’t think troodon would be intelligent enough or even WANT anything in the structure

[golden crane]

Food

[rustic urchin]

This may be the worker just talking normally after being infected or whatever

[tribal osprey]

Theres literally an whole island where it can look for it easily?

[golden crane]

I don’t think Troodons have an evil plot going on, they might just do it for a snack

[chrome acorn]

The worker Having no bio trace and then suddenly dying of a heart attack is

Odd

[hushed zodiac]

I would think it would be a neuro or maybe something controlling the troodons

[wicked sable]

bro the whole neuro strain gives off major eldritch deity vibes, except in this case they can control when they want to be fully comprehended instead of being constantly incomprehensible to the human eye

[edgy pike]

Food? You get crows and parrots mimicking voices for attention/rewards all the time
Although I’m still leaning more towards Eyeless or some echidna influence human

[acoustic osprey]

That? Yes

[shut remnant]

what does it mean by bio trace though? like signatures such as heartbeat etc

[acoustic osprey]

No but where does it say Ns?

[hearty pulsar]

Maybe it has something to do with the tribals? Idk if it was confirmed for them to be able to speak like humans

[safe ravine]

Idk if anyone else has done it yet, but I put the papers together for easier viewing. Although they don't fit 100% perfectly together

[acoustic osprey]

Old stuff about Neuros had a reference, if I can remember

[chrome acorn]

Unsure it’s been related to neuros in the past but

[oblique surge]

I dont think troodon venom would do that tho
if that guy isn't being manipulated by a neuro (judging by the paper I think that to be the most likely posssinility) they must've been bitten by a dilo, the hallucinogenic venom makes more sense here

[tribal osprey]

Of course but trying to get food by trying to get humans to unlock a door and enter their structure rather than look for it in the whole island is NOT animal behavior regardless its intelligence. I would say

[rustic urchin]

Yea if it was troodon I think it would be obvious to the reporters

[acoustic osprey]

Tribals are technically humans, so yeah

[oblique surge]

this is the third one lol
but thank you!

[rustic urchin]

“Subject had troodon venom in their blood sample and a giant bite mark on their thigh”

[safe ravine]

lol I even scrolled up a little to try and find if someone else had done it xD

[shut remnant]

do you guys think the transmitters had anything to do with it? errant-291 was found near it

[chrome acorn]

could be a probe

[edgy pike]

Yeah that’s why I’m more thinking echidna trickery

[rustic urchin]

They do mention keeping radio devices out of certain areas

Maybe something funky going on with radios and stuff

[rugged compass]

i really think that "you should not hear an echo" is important to what this is referring to

[shut remnant]

transmitter?

[woeful chasm]

Sounds from the jungle that should not echo

[gritty vortex]

not speech, but a copy of speech

[rustic urchin]

Echo meaning something in th jungle replying to you, or mimicking you

[oblique surge]

neuros can mess with eletronics right?
I wouldnt put it past them to be able to communicate trough radios

[tribal osprey]

Im thinking the line “do not let them enter” is referencing to Gen 1s and “you should no hear an echo” is referencing to troodons and they are SEPARATE

[golden crane]

What if neuros can communicate with/over radios

[chrome acorn]

I’m guessing If there’s an echo it’s in your mind

[rustic urchin]

Same

[safe ravine]

dondi was talking about intrusive thoughts earlier

[chrome acorn]

Mhm

[rugged compass]

well if a neuro made you hear something it wouldn't echo right? since there is no actual sound waves?

[hexed flax]

I read through the document 3 times now but didn't see anything mentioning "Ns". Where is that?

[woeful chasm]

unless you perceived to hear an echo

[chrome acorn]

^

[woeful chasm]

even if you didn't "hear" it

[safe ravine]

audio hallucinations are a real thing

[rustic urchin]

Wouldn’t be shocked if more than just troodon can mimic

“Hey!”

[safe ravine]

happens most commonly you'll think you heard your notification sound on your phone

but no notifications

[oblique surge]

that or neuros talking always comes with an echo, hence why the warning

[woeful chasm]

Like a parrot talking back

[golden crane]

100%

[low robin]

it does say not to be out after sunset

[rustic urchin]

Ravens in the woods mimicking people too

[hearty pulsar]

I sometimes hear knocking when I'm about to sleep, audio hallucinations are crazy

[shut remnant]

tbh they may be able to like mimic conversations

[rustic urchin]

I love “do not go out after sunset” it feels like North American folklore lol

[shut remnant]

like imagine you're speaking to your coworker and then seconds later you hear the whole conversation again from outside

[woeful chasm]

It's probably a combination of a lot of things

[chrome acorn]

There is to be no activity outside of (blank) after sunset

[low robin]

you could put the echos with the no activity

[short falcon]

i hope troodons can climb through the vents like in camp cretaceous monos

[golden crane]

That would be so creepy

[edgy pike]

I’m thinking from reading that report, echidna or something controlled 291, which encouraged the three sweep teams out into the jungle and seeing as only two people returned they got baited for eating/converting?

[hexed flax]

N-Humans are very pale. It makes sense for then to stay in the darkness during daytime so they don't get 2nd degree burns from the sun

[rugged compass]

would it be possible for a neruo to tap into human communication networks? if so that might tie into the diagram which might be a network of comm towers or satellites

[oblique surge]

maybe neuros in general dont deal well with the sun?

[woeful chasm]

I am assuming the biotrace means every employee has a bio footprint as part of their identification, if they are missing it it could be another human for nefarious purposes, unless echidna or similar can actually do projections... even though it said they died, they apparently were detained and questioned?

[golden crane]

That could be a good lore explaination for balancing or an extra horror factor

[woeful chasm]

unless I misread that part about being a danger

[hushed zodiac]

I would cry

[tribal osprey]

Maybe gen 1s do not do well with sun either, so they live in caves?

[hushed zodiac]

It would be probable, though

[oblique surge]

I was thinking more how they're seemingly blind and look very frail
I imagine intense light coming form the sun would be pretty prejudicial for them

[golden crane]

Imagine with the same voices even, orrr you know that weird voice African grays talk in? Idk what would we more creepier

[shut remnant]

I don't see gen 1s having that as that would be weird for gameplay, eyeless may though

[rustic urchin]

DO NOT GO INTO THE WOODS AT NIGHT DO NOT GO INTO THE WOODS AT NIGHT

[golden crane]

That is also true

[loud coral]

(Im goin into the woods at night)

[tribal osprey]

Maybe stealth and survival purposes tho

[chrome acorn]

The woods eats you

[golden crane]

Canni wood??

[low robin]

it also includes "structural abnormalities"

[river ocean]

The isle will swallow you.....

[chrome acorn]

hallucinations and or damage to structures

[golden crane]

Maybe a warning for echnida or neuro caused visual hallucinations

[rustic urchin]

DO NOT

[low robin]

which if present, you need to leave and relocate

[loud coral]

(Im gonna)

[rustic urchin]

i think the structure thing refers to “if you see structures in the woods that shouldn’t be there let us know”

Because you know

[icy onyx]

is the guide on the document a constellation?

[rustic urchin]

(Don’t)

[rustic urchin]

That’s for the tunnel system underground

[safe ravine]

iirc it's a tree of life diagram

[rustic urchin]

Probably*

[wicked sable]

is it just me or does that kinda look like the aviary?

[chrome acorn]

uh I doubt it but maybe

It seems like it’s for the tunnel system G.U.T.S.

[shut remnant]

seems like it's an abstracted view of the underground tunnel system(GUTS), sort of like a tube map

[safe ravine]

saw someone say that in isle discussion and posted a picture that looks just like it

[shut remnant]

only showing the connections between nodes

[hexed flax]

So basically all GUTS entries are blocked now

[safe ravine]

good to remember:

[golden crane]

Yeah, it states in smol text that it ain’t a map

[golden crane]

Yeh

[safe ravine]

so if we were to think of it abstractly, potentially in the terms of system and network design, it's more of ya basically what ya'll are saying. Showing different nodes and what is connected to what

[tribal osprey]

Whats lodge/rec?

[mossy gate]

getting lost vibes 8D

[tribal osprey]

Sorry I replied accidentally

[golden crane]

I sure hope for a mountain lodge

[shut remnant]

probably a place for workers to go to in their off hours

[rose skiff]

whats GUTS?

[shut remnant]

since I'm guessing rec stands for recreation

[golden crane]

The tunnel system

[shut remnant]

it's the underground transport system, it had an actual anagram but I forgor

[hexed flax]

Viewing Platform is the Helicopter pad

[shut remnant]

oh ye it was Generic Underground Transport System(I don't think that's the official anagram in lore)

[tribal osprey]

The lodge or viewing platform may be the only points to enter the underground system since entrances are seemingly blocked

[golden crane]

Why would you put a tunnel entrance into a lodge tho

[hexed flax]

But the viewing Platform is at a cliff. No way to get there except through the GUTS

[tribal osprey]

Pts be like:

[golden crane]

Lmao

[sonic rampart]

It isn't, but I think Don might've said it never gets revealed?

[shut remnant]

wait how do you know that?

[rustic urchin]

I just realised “lodge/rec” area that’s hilarious to me for some reason

[tribal osprey]

Herreras be like:

[hexed flax]

Remember the picture of the Helicopter pad where Utahs attacked the pilots? Thats the viewing Platform

[rose skiff]

does the LLLRFL mean anything important yous think?

[shut remnant]

oh was it called viewing platforM?

[hexed flax]

Ye

[sonic rampart]

When?

[golden crane]

Could you send the pic rq? I don’t remember it

[safe ravine]

probably a code or password, potentially means something

[golden crane]

We thought directions for the GUTS

[rustic urchin]

Like yea man go past the HADES ENTRY right next to r/d sectors containing man made horrid beyond comprehension and you’ll get to the Rec room with ping pong and snacks

[golden crane]

Ohh damn I must’ve missed that, Ty

[sonic rampart]

I don't remember it being called a viewing platform

[safe ravine]

that's actually probably it, I'm a little burnt out and behind the conversation xD

[golden crane]

It’s alright

[hexed flax]

Pretty sure Dondi called it that when he talked about how it was created

[rose skiff]

that looks like radio with a helipad, is it not?

[shut remnant]

well it is on the GUTS map, so there may be some elevator connecting it to the GUTS

[rustic urchin]

Also do you guys see the botany on there?

[golden crane]

It does, but for that they would have to do some terraforming if you’re talking about the current evrima RT

[rustic urchin]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[chrome acorn]

heh

[golden crane]

That face

[tribal osprey]

Do not let him in

[rustic urchin]

Yea only pic of that concept I could find was a yt thumbnail

[rustic urchin]

No he asked nicely I think I will go out at night and follow the echos

[safe ravine]

so a quick summary tldr...
based on the 2 docs, something that's able to mimic humans enough to trick whatever security was present attempted to escape it looks like. Potentially had help from outside or managed to do its own research after obtaining a printout that represents the guts?

[golden crane]

Great idea

[tribal osprey]

I actually think “echoes” and “do not reply” lines are referring to different creatures

[golden crane]

Yeah

[tribal osprey]

Echo seems like troo, do not reply seems like idk gen1 behavior

[golden crane]

I doubt that a neuro spino would fit through a door, and it’s what does the echo right

[sonic rampart]

I can't find anything about that (yet, I'm looking around)

[golden crane]

Oh

[soft spade]

@acoustic osprey Dondi asking you if you are for The Horde a bit ago, you think this means it is troodon?

[safe ravine]

idr if the devs ever said anything about it, but I know isle discussion went on for a while about troodon should have the ability to mimic humans and other dinosaurs

but troodon supposedly isn't intelligent enough to carry around and read a paper with information on it

[golden crane]

Man it’s 1 am here and it’s super dark in my room. And we are talking about human mimicking dinosaurs and mutated humans that can controll minds

[crisp raven]

something is using them

[safe ravine]

at least we aren't telling ghost stories >:)

[icy onyx]

Lore

[golden crane]

I guess so xD

[meager junco]

Omg just saw the new post, finally

[tribal osprey]

I can swear that dondi got at least some sort of inspiration from metro 2033 when creating GUTS and underground facilities and their relationship with man made horrors and neuros outside

[rustic urchin]

Good chance of that

Probably also based on Jurassic park lore with their maintenance tunnels being a thing for years tho. Me and many others have begged for maintenance tunnels for years cause of that lol

[safe ravine]

well, when you have multiton "monsters" roaming freely in designated areas, travelling above ground where they can potentially get to you doesn't sound like much fun

[tribal osprey]

Lol yeah. But dark ones messing with peoples minds who are wandering far out deep in the tunnels is just too similar to miss

[rustic urchin]

Ya

[shut remnant]

the documents give me SCP vibes

[rustic urchin]

Time to try and find a rational theory for each “room”

[tribal osprey]

When you are outside, the dinosaurs and tribals get you. When you go too far wandering inside the deepest parts of the facility, the mind controlling horrors get you.

[rustic urchin]

A B C- simply various entry points into the tunnels, each designated a name of a god because AE is ram by Percy Jackson nerds

[chrome acorn]

Also worth noting one of the sweep teams sent out uh didn’t return

[rustic urchin]

My guess

possibly the different god designations hint at where the entry points are, like one being in/near water, one being underground already, one being topside/in a mountain, something like that

[tribal osprey]

Ooh good one

[icy onyx]

RATTLE EM BOYS

[shut remnant]

I mean hades is the god of tartarus

[rustic urchin]

What does this mean for the lore

D is pretty clear, it’s the physical transmitter ig

E, the botany, I kinda think ties to something like this

[tribal osprey]

I would say F is kind of a control room, like where lots of computers and switches and buttons and monitors are

By the location of it

[chrome acorn]

Central control is up top

[tribal osprey]

Hmmm

Yea lol

Wait so entrances arent directly connected to the outside??

[shut remnant]

also it says R/D

[chrome acorn]

F J K and L are all classified besides the letters R/D

[rustic urchin]

Yea, all we can guess is something something strain monster stuff

[chrome acorn]

4

[tribal osprey]

What does r/d mean

[rustic urchin]

Research and development probably

[tribal osprey]

Hmm yea

What do you think is all that classified things below “L”?

Seems like a couple of gates and a huge wall

[shut remnant]

maybe tartarus?

the thing right below L could be gateway

[tribal osprey]

And below that maybe three seperate containment chambers for different strains?

That part at least gives off heavy containment vibes

[knotty swan]

I agree with that

[rustic urchin]

That may be Tartarus yea

[knotty swan]

I was gonna say the thing above it looks like observation room or deck

[rustic urchin]

Since the main Tartarus theory is holding the “titans”

Collosus, echidna, reaper

[chrome acorn]

mhm

[safe ravine]

that would make the most sense that tartarus would hold the most dangerous

[rustic urchin]

Yea, also it’s really hard to tell but if this general reference is meant to be tunnels, the bottom one may be the lowest level

[safe ravine]

are colossus, echidna, and reaper still a thing?

[rustic urchin]

If so then Tartarus being the lowest out of hell in this scenario makes sense

[chrome acorn]

ye

[rustic urchin]

I think Dondi reconfirmed them a few months ag

At the very least echidna was reconfirmed

[safe ravine]

ok thanks, I know some stuff got scrapped from legacy but didn't know what specifically

[rustic urchin]

I think there’s a good chance reaper is getting overhauled or possibly scrapped

I remember hearing secondhand that Dondi didn’t like it’s look

[icy onyx]

So after all Mercenaries are indeed employed? I heard theories about them being captive on the island

[gentle vessel]

No colossus is back also

[chrome acorn]

It’s also worth noting the gods Zeus Hades and Poseidon are the sons of the titan Cronus who is specifically locked away in Tartarus in Greek mythos so good chance whatever they are came from what’s in Tartarus

[rustic urchin]

They’re generation two, so I believe they’re actually created by AE

[sonic rampart]

I imagine gen2s are separate from typical AE staff/scientists

[icy onyx]

Well, considering the production often refers to names like Escape The Isle, Find The Isle

[icy onyx]

Oh

[rustic urchin]

If you guys have seen the movie “the island” (no relation), the humans in that movie I kinda imagine being like ours

[pseudo fable]

No, I'm Tom Lincoln!

[rustic urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/ewan-mc-gregor-wink-smile-cute-innocent-gif-5275379

Genetic clones who are kinda sorta slaves but not totally

[icy onyx]

||Too much of my own interpretation leads me to||

[rustic urchin]

Slaves but they don’t really know it

Like adult children

[chrome acorn]

yea I can’t read Russian bilbo idk what that means

[icy onyx]

Chernobyl liquidator medal

[chrome acorn]

Ahhh

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah, but for the papers in #isle-phase-three? Not likely

[icy onyx]

Damage control ‘volunteers’

[acoustic osprey]

Oh yeah, premade humans

[rustic urchin]

Generation two

[acoustic osprey]

All the same age too

[rustic urchin]

Oh yea that’s right they are all the same age aren’t they

All the gen2

[acoustic osprey]

Lead me to believe that Gen 2 are not contracted men and women

but just lab-made humans

[rustic urchin]

Maybe sterile?

[acoustic osprey]

Aye

[acoustic osprey]

Sterile is likely as well.
Might've been the issue with Gen 1? (They weren't?)

[rustic urchin]

Yea maybe

[chrome acorn]

i wonder if they have memories

[acoustic osprey]

Remove any chance of distractions

[rustic urchin]

Also what was this again?

[acoustic osprey]

Memories of what, is the question?

[rustic urchin]

Their clone sources?

[chrome acorn]

training or a life

[rustic urchin]

Probably not maybe probably

Lincoln six echo moment

[chrome acorn]

do they have something to fight for

[soft spade]

i see

[chrome acorn]

What’s their motivation

[tribal osprey]

Survive the isle

Jk

[acoustic osprey]

The art? Stuff from Fred, iirc, he takes a photo from in-game and paints over it

[rustic urchin]

Wasn’t it meant to be like a specific “lore area”

[chrome acorn]

I think he means what’s the facility

[rustic urchin]

Some people thought it was the viewing platform

[chrome acorn]

observation station

[acoustic osprey]

That's k15

[chrome acorn]

Yea but what is K15

[rustic urchin]

Probablt a certain sector on the island, maybe an entry point to GUTS?

[chrome acorn]

Site designation k15

Priority ??

[icy onyx]

This is genuinely so exciting

[soft spade]

yea having new stuff to think about is fun

[tribal osprey]

K: HELIPAD confirmed!?!?!?

It at least fits the length of the redacted line

[acoustic osprey]

Don said it on a stream, but think of it as a ranger station of sorts

[chrome acorn]

ok so like a checkpoint

outpost type of thing

supplies and stuff are there but it’s not connected to guts

[acoustic osprey]

I mean, it could be

[chrome acorn]

true

i want more

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[bold crater]

Forgive me for asking but....what exactly makes a ranger station 😮

[chrome acorn]

rangers

[bold crater]

[chrome acorn]

[acoustic osprey]

I'd say more so outpost.
But it seems to be a "station" with a lot of utility stuff there, with a "hub"/Rangers Hub- you might call it

[bold crater]

Hmm

[icy onyx]

If they speak to you, do not reply.

[bold crater]

Friggn' ominous

[icy onyx]

I love this

[acoustic osprey]

[bold crater]

"Hey, you want a Snickers Bar? You want a Snickers? I heard you're hungry, you want a Snickers?"

Ignore them, Craig, don't reply. DON'T reply....

[acoustic osprey]

I'm saying either Gen 1, Eyeless or something that is a Neuro

Unless Eyeless are Neuro humans

[bold crater]

Why would it specify after sunset though? 😮

[icy onyx]

Imagine it’s about a damn Neuro.

Frightening

[soft spade]

https://tenor.com/view/chris-pratt-andy-dwyer-omg-shocked-face-meme-gif-25585329

[bold crater]

That's always been what I've though of em

Weird and pale
No eyes
Boney

Sounds kinda Neurotenicky to me!

[icy onyx]

If they speak to you, do not reply.

they referencing to your thoughts. When near a Type N.

[bold crater]

"Hey don't think about this"

"......darnit."

[icy onyx]

That would be frightening but I would still more easily believe that it refers to actual verbal speech.

[bold crater]

Mermaids

[safe ravine]

"I hear the secrets that you keep, when you're talking in your sleep" 🎵

[icy onyx]

Like to Eyeless or Gen 1’s

[soft spade]

???? lol

[chrome acorn]

echo

[acoustic osprey]

It's tricky.
Because "outside" is weird.

I'm guessing a closed enclosure with a walkthrough section, something something.

Or, you should only stay in-doors

Depends. Are Gen 1/Eyeless/Whatever nocturnal?
Maybe light physically hurts the flesh of Neuros

[icy onyx]

Sector H-4

[acoustic osprey]

We do know Echidna can speak
So I presume the same with Neuro Humans

Echidna being one herself

[acoustic osprey]

Those old stuff are pretty much going now
Like #transmissions

[bold crater]

Ya know, mermaids! They lure ye in!

[safe ravine]

remember it died of cardiac arrest after leaving the GUTS (5)

[icy onyx]

understood

[tribal osprey]

Maybe echidna is using and communicating with the neuro humans telepathically for them to infiltrate the site and rescue echidna from Tartarus? And/or echidna makes the seemingly “crippled” people talk by controlling them remotely and manipulate AE employees

[bold crater]

what did though ;o;

[safe ravine]

so potentially something biological preventing them from going a certain distance from (unknown)

[acoustic osprey]

Probably doing an errant

[bold crater]

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn99-brooklyn-nine-nine-b99-terry-crews-terry-jeffords-gif-13703698

[safe ravine]

whatever was mimicking humans and trying to escape

[acoustic osprey]

It's likely that "ERRANT-291" is one of the poor buggers just doing a literal errant

but at the wrong place at the wrong time

[safe ravine]

potentially, a "failed" creation or experiment that they decided to continue supervising for research

afterall: errant- deviating from the regular or proper course

[chrome acorn]

Seems to me like an irregularity

[acoustic osprey]

or travelling in search of adventure.

Aka. Doing a job

[chrome acorn]

hey your not supposed to be here and we’ve never heard of you but somehow you have correct information and identification

[acoustic osprey]

errant runs

[safe ravine]

depends on your perspective

[acoustic osprey]

You don't have access to level 3.

[soft spade]

key cards

[safe ravine]

but how did you get past level 1?

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-luke-skywalker-stormtrooper-mark-hamill-confused-look-gif-16354541

[bold crater]

GUTS is creepier now

[chrome acorn]

Guts is great

[acoustic osprey]

Sad to know the monorail wont be used

[soft spade]

lets take a look inside

[bold crater]

[safe ravine]

so it is very apparent that whatever errant 291 is, it was able to mimick an actual worker there and obtained their badge (we can make a pretty good guess how). Explains the no bio trace on file despite this. looks like we have a case of amongus

[tribal osprey]

I would say its kind of similar to wishing to use an actual working metro in Metro 2033 👀

[acoustic osprey]

lol

[acoustic osprey]

Could've been maybe a Gen 1 trying to escape?

but

[chrome acorn]

Didn’t show any aggression being detained

[acoustic osprey]

Depends on how the tribal actually looked

[acoustic osprey]

Original Transmissions reported that their was more of a gradual process of Gen 1 going crazy

[chrome acorn]

hmm

[icy onyx]

Do not let them enter. If they speak to you, do not reply.

[chrome acorn]

The heart attack though

[safe ravine]

I amended my previous post because the doc doesn't specifically say 291 looked like the employee only that it stated information about one

[acoustic osprey]

stated to be and with a designation

[safe ravine]

well, if we go off some really old community lore, the tribals were thought to be a kind of hive mentality. Maybe 291 got too far from the "queen"

[acoustic osprey]

Could've held some classified information

[safe ravine]

that's the torn paper we got shown

[acoustic osprey]

if only we could see the report

[acoustic osprey]

Who knows, could likely be.
It'd make sense

Much preferred the non-ripped one that Don showed me
Kinda annoying with the rips

[shut remnant]

I said this earlier but I think it's interesting that erant-291 was found near the transmitter

[acoustic osprey]

Could be a spy

[safe ravine]

I'm like 99% sure the torn paper mentioned in the report and the torn paper we were shown immediately after are related to 291

[acoustic osprey]

Sounds cliche

but you know, could be

[safe ravine]

that was the first thing I thought, but it seems pretty clear that the errant originated from within the facility

[acoustic osprey]

but they found out that Section D (Transmitter) was offline

[acoustic osprey]

A spy from within

[safe ravine]

not impossible

[acoustic osprey]

But yeah, if that torn paper is from that guy

He definitely went to a few places

Marked A, B and C off

[safe ravine]

did some exploring and got away with it before getting caught

[acoustic osprey]

(likely went there)

Either it was a checklist (getting information?)
Or those places are deactivated of sorts

Then likely needed to transmit that information via Olympus

[safe ravine]

you would think these scientist people would put trackers on these guys, silly fictional scientists not taking every single precautionary step leaving room for fatal errors of their systems

[acoustic osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-not-a-chance-no-gif-13843355

this is a shame (from Dondi)
Because I'd like to learn more about 291 lol

[crisp raven]

I'm guessing the second and third images are connected. the first 2 are the same and then the canyon is behind it and leads to the last 3 images

[safe ravine]

zoos have tighter security than this place if one of the "animals", considered to be highly dangerous, was able to easily bypass security measures. I bet they don't even have an airlock system smh

[crisp raven]

You know the best way to stop a whole dinosaur is to make a natural barricaded enclosure. Just make it lower than the normal ground so they can't break or climb out

[chrome acorn]

donnnnnm crin is talking sh*T about the loreeee

[agile dirge]

Just gonna leave the version without our boi on the side, seeing this pic pop up a couple of times

[safe ravine]

I'm trash talking the organization for not following the most basic OSHA protocols

[crisp raven]

In JP, if they had just stuck to pits surrounding the enclosures, nothing could escape. Even raptor

[crisp raven]

Imagine we get this building

[safe ravine]

then again, if it isn't a legal business, they don't need to follow OSHA now do they?

[acoustic osprey]

To which I say this guy was no animal of sorts

[safe ravine]

hence the quotes around animal 😉

[acoustic osprey]

More so that he is just a normal guy

[crisp raven]

I wonder what kind of enclosures AE is using for its dinos

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

[crisp raven]

this could possibly be an enclosure

Since we see two large dam/fences on either side

[acoustic osprey]

But yeah
I believe Don talked about that because these are not normal animals, that there were no laws about it

[safe ravine]

jake from state farm, living in a containment and research facility, considered highly dangerous

[crisp raven]

There are also fences on the aviary image in the treeline

Will our map be divided into enclosures?

[chrome acorn]

Perhaps

[icy onyx]

12/7 LLLRFL

[acoustic osprey]

Lol

[crisp raven]

Is AE a rogue company or a government organization

[chrome acorn]

Umbrella company

[crisp raven]

Are these experiments even known to the general public?

[acoustic osprey]

If you've seen the streams, there are the "Hyper Fences" with their gateways

[acoustic osprey]

No idea

Has to have a lot of money

[safe ravine]

Considering the nature of the content, I would bet my money on no

[crisp raven]

gateways?

[safe ravine]

big dinosaur size gates

[chrome acorn]

The fences have gates

[acoustic osprey]

Gateway to get into the enclosure

[crisp raven]

natural barriers are better than man made

[acoustic osprey]

Hyper fence

[acoustic osprey]

Very expensive

[crisp raven]

hyper fence in back?

[chrome acorn]

seems to be

[acoustic osprey]

Looks like it

[crisp raven]

Feels like prime troodon housing

[safe ravine]

the next pic looks like it's probably the view from inside

[crisp raven]

it is. they're all connected

[crisp raven]

the river connects to the previous images through the canyon

[acoustic osprey]

Tiny dam lol

[safe ravine]

tiny dam or big river

[crisp raven]

behind it is the canyon

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[crisp raven]

and then it leads to the next ones

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[crisp raven]

We should get some tribal writings in caves

River doesn't seem deep at all and is pretty dirty looking

[safe ravine]

that will be cool. I love finding little secrets like that. Details you might pass up if you're not looking for them

[chrome acorn]

Any news on Gen 1 would be great

[acoustic osprey]

Soon I guess

[crisp raven]

I feel like this area is near tartarus due to the high human influence in this specific region

Also seems like an area for dinos that can eat less food. Doesn't seem like its very good for high intensity herbivores due to the lack of plants

[crisp raven]

You know what I want? A crashed helicopter and jeeps

[acoustic osprey]

Which area?

[crisp raven]

the ones with rocks. The arid region

Feels much dryer and even possibly elevated

[acoustic osprey]

I mean, a fence with a small dam

I'd say Tartarus would be more down

[crisp raven]

feels like there is more

Whatever it is, it is a pachy hotspot for sure

[acoustic osprey]

Compare that to k15

[crisp raven]

Maybe regional spawning spawns you in your diet region

[acoustic osprey]

A proper enclosure right next to it
Bridge

However, we did see a similar rock structure at Bridge

[crisp raven]

bridge? Isn't it that one with a bunch of rocks in the back next a large river?

[acoustic osprey]

Yes

[crisp raven]

do you have an image?

[acoustic osprey]

The only bridge we've properly seen

[fossil lily]

New lore I have made my return

So is Zeus and Hades physical software or is it something else?

[acoustic osprey]

Seems to be sites

[fossil lily]

Huh interesting

It’s not too much to go off of but very interesting

[acoustic osprey]

No idea of the size

[chrome acorn]

they have entrances wether that’s to the Zeus hades and Poseidon sites or the entrance to GUTS is anyones guess

[acoustic osprey]

I like how we have a botany section

[fossil lily]

I’m curious what Errant is

[chrome acorn]

Rec center section

[acoustic osprey]

Likely either a scientist/worker, Tribal or Eyeless

[crisp raven]

@acoustic osprey how do you like my quote? "We have created something that we were foolish enough to think we could control. We have now realized, that we are never in control. they are"- Random character

[chrome acorn]

Errant being someone/something out of place where they shouldn’t be maybe

[acoustic osprey]

It's interesting

[acoustic osprey]

Seemed like it was more so Errant was doing something naughty

Has A, B and C marked out

[fossil lily]

Possible it’s a dinosaur?

[acoustic osprey]

And was caught in Olympus Transmitter

[crisp raven]

"If only we had stopped sooner, maybe we wouldn't unleashed such chaos"

[acoustic osprey]

VERY unlikely

[chrome acorn]

definitely not a dinosaur as it could talk and be detained

[acoustic osprey]

Yeah

[crisp raven]

AE is pretty much that Godzilla quote that the guy is talking about "It is going to send us back to the stone age"

[acoustic osprey]

Imagine if this was Olympus lol

[warm briar]

There was talk of plants that where either recreations of past species or mutated creations, are these still correct or have they been tossed out with all the reworked stuff?

[acoustic osprey]

Hyper Plants?

[warm briar]

I don’t quite remember, it was mentioned around the time they first opened up Evrima. But I remember them mentioning something like it?

[crisp raven]

It can't be

I imagine a giant tower on a mountain

[rustic urchin]

Botany

[warm briar]

Yeah! I didn’t remember it being tied to any of the creatures though

[chrome acorn]

Yea the tribal head isn’t relevant to the plant it’s from a YouTube thumbnail

[warm briar]

Are they still planning to use that? Cause I thought it was cool

[bronze pike]

ngl lore wise im still bummed these guys wont be a thing

[safe ravine]

that and it's not a literal map

wow I love when chat doesn't update until after I send a message

[icy onyx]

L

[icy onyx]

Necessary.

[rustic urchin]

The most important part is the rec room

Who’s gonna join me for a game of monopoly in the rec room next door to the genetic horrors

[bold crater]

Pretty sure they're still a thing

[still scarab]

I still have the images dondi!

[pseudo fable]

Me too.

[still scarab]

[crisp raven]

Wow

Studies found that the creatures were venomous unlike their prehistoric counterpart, and had faint bioluminescence and had an intelligence unlike no other creature, able to communicate in complex patterns with each other and solve difficult puzzles similar to crows and dolphins.

       Due to an error in a containment unit, one troodon escaped into the lab and managed to free the others. Together, they ran rampant through the lab, reaching various sections through ventilation systems. Staff members who were attacked did not initially die, but suffered severe symptoms ranging from nausea, to vomiting blood 15 minutes after being bit or scratched. This later resulted in death of each infected person. The troodons then escaped the lab and had completely vanished from any radars or trackers.

Do you like my troodon lore Dondi?

[still scarab]

It’s so big cx

It’s a happy tree worth of bob ross approval

[crisp raven]

GENETIC monster

[still scarab]

[crisp raven]

This should be in the center of gateway like that elden ring tree

[raw dove]

HUGE TREE

[still scarab]

Lol final boss TREE

[fast adder]

Thanks again for all the phase three stuff today Dondi it made my day!!!! The lore pieces really were so fun to pick at and the whole discord was soooo alive because of it.

[still scarab]

Oh yeah me and my friend were brainstorming

[pseudo fable]

https://tenor.com/bonrk.gif

[crisp raven]

^

[raw dove]

I just wonder if the "sound" thing is troodon or gen1, or eyeless

[crisp raven]

Best phase 3

To lay eyes on a hyper, is like staring at the face of death, dark, and angry, except this time it had an unrelenting and eternal hunger and only one desire... to kill. The moment I had seen it, I had realized that I created a monster. If I was asked if I could take it back, I would, because I had never knew then... what I was releasing into this world.

[raw dove]

👁️

[crisp raven]

When are we assembling The Horde?

[acoustic osprey]

Wah oh

[bold crater]

This Phase 3 was honestly the best so far 😄

[chrome acorn]

Yes

[agile dirge]

To make a point of just how big those trees are, Here’s a Hypo Spoon standing with the old tribal models

[rustic nexus]

Just woke up

What do we think so far off of #isle-phase-three

[rustic nexus]

Gigantic

[raw dove]

best

[barren lodge]

the most interesting lore and game development i have witnessed

[rustic nexus]

Same same

[open compass]

Dondi needs to be more careful with his lore docs next time smh

Or at least use some tape

[rustic nexus]

Voice recordings would be nice

[acoustic osprey]

I think it's poor 291

[barren lodge]

I didn't realize some of the isle had a very deep lore of more than dinosaurs and bio science

[rustic nexus]

Me either

[acoustic osprey]

Welcome to the club

[rustic nexus]

What does sci. stand for

Oh science

[barren lodge]

acronym or science or super crazy intellegence dont know

[crisp raven]

My theory is that the various entries are by air, sea, and underground. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades

[crisp raven]

into the Central Complex

[raw dove]

make sense in some way

[barren lodge]

same here and the GUTS is a outter area transportation

[acoustic osprey]

And inner

[crisp raven]

GUTS could lead to Hades

[acoustic osprey]

GUTs being undergound

And very generic

[barren lodge]

But what is the giant aviary is it one of the letters?

[crisp raven]

So we'll get something like the forest lab entrance

[acoustic osprey]

Going to the majority of central sections

[raw dove]

biome site I think

[crisp raven]

Aviary is a human structure but not part of the Central Complex

[acoustic osprey]

Might be
Might be Zeus

[barren lodge]

YEAH

[acoustic osprey]

It could be if it's the same one connected with Drone Quetz

It's pretty big

Wouldn't want any more than the one

It being about "air" creatures

[crisp raven]

I mean the aviary could actually just be the central complex but I don't believe so

[raw dove]

we cant enter it in the beginning right?

[crisp raven]

well they could move to different facilities though through GUTS

[barren lodge]

Why is there a arrow from lodge/rec to B Hades?

[crisp raven]

Strain Plants must be in Botany

[raw dove]

someone mark it to show the way maybe

[acoustic osprey]

Aviary could be Zeus
Or one of them

I presume they're all connected underground through GUTs

Obviously the facilities won't be underground

[crisp raven]

And Poseidon might be aquatics

[acoustic osprey]

Likely 291s path of some sorts

[crisp raven]

It could be that it is a map of all major structures all connected with GUTS

[acoustic osprey]

Before he went to Olympus

[acoustic osprey]

From what we've heard, I think that's a given hopefully

[crisp raven]

So you've got Olympus Structure in the center of Gateway(probably huge)

[barren lodge]

They have to be all related in the way of how the structures work communications botany lodge view Entry

[crisp raven]

But in the screenshots sweep teams were released from Zeus Entrance. Doesn't exactly sound like an aviary

[open compass]

Kinda seems like 291 was trying to get in through each of the three entrances but crossed them off as they couldn't

[acoustic osprey]

Doesn't need to be one of the main ones, but yeah

[acoustic osprey]

Likely trying to get info from A B and C, then go to Olympus
Found it was offline

Then got caught

[acoustic osprey]

Underground tunnels my friend

[open compass]

Idk, my thinking was that they might've been trying to get into central control

[acoustic osprey]

Generic stuff

Take the elevator/lift

[crisp raven]

lore is going crazy

[acoustic osprey]

Likely

But why go down to Olympus Transmitter if A B C are supposedly connected to the "HQ"

[crisp raven]

Probably will need power

[acoustic osprey]

Everything will

They would've had a proper system in place before everything went to shambles

[crisp raven]

There hopefully will be safety bunkers

[acoustic osprey]

Who knows!

[crisp raven]

Backup Generator. Get it on, power some things, defend against dinos

[open compass]

If the connections on the diagram are physical, then going through/near the transmitter would be the only way to check if Zeus entrance is open

[crisp raven]

you get the power on. The tracker: 50+ Lifeforms detected in your area

[acoustic osprey]

If you start from G
Going to D is pretty useless?
