gtfo-lore

[stone vine]

not d1

100%

i can find a vid hold on

[stone vine]

SEE

LOOK

close

u gotta stare

[pearl trench]

Alpha six in r7c2 as well

[eternal talon]

you can see the same mountains in the distance of both B1's alpha two and BX/DX' alpha three

[stone vine]

clearly 2

this one and the one above

one to the right

one to the left

[eternal talon]

is not.

just the one

i'ma need proppah video

[pearl trench]

I never saw one that close

[eternal talon]

i ran c1 a LOT

[stone vine]

U CAN SEE IT

WYM

[pearl trench]

That's wild if I missed it

[topaz flare]

its one in different dimensions in my opinion

[stone vine]

this was from a datacube

the same datacube

like

not even different runs

it was ss taken within seconds of eachother

[topaz flare]

we got the data cube to go to that outpost

[eternal talon]

we don't know where the r7 sites are

i got complete surround sound pics

[topaz flare]

that got destroyed by sand storm a powerful one

[stone vine]

its not acc suprising

out of a group who ran 3 times in a row on release

[pearl trench]

Yeah we only know the name, not the location relative to anything else

[stone vine]

i was the only one who looked at it

i didnt even see the close one

[topaz flare]

oh wait i just looked

[eternal talon]

sandstorms taller than mountains

[topaz flare]

HOLD'UP THERE WAS A CLOSER ONE?!?!?

[stone vine]

YES

[topaz flare]

TF

[stone vine]

THERES MULTIPLE

[topaz flare]

YOOOOOOOOO

[stone vine]

LMAO

this is like r2

r3

[topaz flare]

I just noticed HAHAHAH

[eternal talon]

I NEED A VIDJA

[stone vine]

where i told ppl chargers and hybrids have eyes

[topaz flare]

i always looked at the far one

never at the close one

[stone vine]

and they all didnt believe me

hybrids have eys

its important info

[pearl trench]

I ain't staring at a charger that long

[stone vine]

u dont need to

[eternal talon]

best pics of squidward. mine are on the wiki

[stone vine]

steam trading cards ;)

i also did super in depth analyzation of every enemy up to r4

so

might just be a me thing

[topaz flare]

why... why does it look like its a warm

worm*

wait hold'up is it a worm?!?!

[stone vine]

no

not a worm

more like

[eternal talon]

its extremely similar in biological makeup to a cuttlefish

1 sec

[stone vine]

idk

[pearl trench]

It's just got a very long face

[stone vine]

a sea urchin

[eternal talon]

i talked to bio-experts on the topic

[stone vine]

or a sea slug

[topaz flare]

i mean we have to remember this shit doesn't always happen

[stone vine]

yummy loooking

[topaz flare]

if we look at the new logs

the virus have high mutation chance

[eternal talon]

just one really fucked up fish

[stone vine]

LMAO

gtfo = subnautica

whys it kinda cute

[eternal talon]

its a cuttlefish

[stone vine]

oh

[topaz flare]

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what im hearing at R8 we are going to fucking fight a giant ass squid looking mf

[stone vine]

thats why

[eternal talon]

(the pic)

[stone vine]

its cute

[pearl trench]

Cuttlefish are awesome

[eternal talon]

not squidward

[eternal talon]

well, yes and no

[stone vine]

possibility

[eternal talon]

its literally titled "SQUIDWARD" in the game files

[stone vine]

multiple at the same time

[eternal talon]

so thats why people say that

[stone vine]

^ yeah lol

[eternal talon]

but biologically speaking its closest known species is the cuttlefish

[stone vine]

do u still want ur vid

[pearl trench]

I love the dev names sometimes lol

[stone vine]

im gonna have to dig through yt

[eternal talon]

ye

[stone vine]

ok one sec

[topaz flare]

would love to see them

cause as i looked at it it just hit me

[eternal talon]

no clue where r6a1 is

[topaz flare]

like Wait a second that one looks a bit too close

[pearl trench]

Definitely don't consider dev names canon unless they're in logs or something else tho, they just put whatever works in the files

[eternal talon]

none of the mountains there line up either

[eternal talon]

they aren't cannon. chargers in files are called bullrush

[topaz flare]

its the cave area where B1 log talked abou

t

[eternal talon]

(in relation to everything else)

[pearl trench]

r6a1 probably just dropped us somewhere random since we had no nav data

[eternal talon]

we have no nav data anywhere on destination

all maps go dark.

[topaz flare]

it could be the original Artifact cords

2 ppl dead

and when you pick it up it sends you there

[stone vine]

i wish i had taken a clip at the time

O WAIT I MIGHT HAVE

[topaz flare]

perhaps the original cords for it

[pearl trench]

Bro r6c1 is us getting the nav data for d1 what

[topaz flare]

^^

[eternal talon]

https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_2526.html
destination is in the dead center of this

according to exact coordinates

many many many light years away

though the version we visit isnt in our own universe

there IS a destination in ours though

and its possible we could go there from destination

earth -> destination alt -> destination

and same for earth

earth - > earth alt

the MWP transports us to a location AND a different worldline

[pearl trench]

Why don't we just blow it up to make room for an interspace bypass

[past matrix]

some are canon

others are just funny wacky names

[pearl trench]

Yep

Usually wacky, since the devs like letting us name things

[past matrix]

yea

[eternal talon]

chicken.

lel

[pearl trench]

Bless Pablo and chicken

[past matrix]

i wonder if the r4b1 morse code will remain the same

[pearl trench]

I can't wait to see

They said r1 alt would release in two weeks and dropped it 6 days later so who knows what the release timeline is going to look like lmao

[past matrix]

if i had to guess, r2 probably drops late january

[stone vine]

not sure if i can get a video because ppl go into datacube w the expectation theres a fight

so ppl r not looking

at the thing

[past matrix]

what are you trying to get a video of

[stone vine]

the multiple krakens

in c1

i have screenshots but not a vid

[past matrix]

i think i have it somewhere

[pearl trench]

Yeah and I only looked at the distant one on subsequent runs, never saw anything else

[stone vine]

but i had a run where 2 were there

theres multiple spawn points but these were taken within seconds

[eternal talon]

a run. so how do you know it wasn't a bug?

[stone vine]

we re ran it

3 times

and i noticed it 3 times

[past matrix]

i remember being able to see several but uh r6 was like months ago

[stone vine]

yeah

i mean

i can ask a dev

doubt theyd say much

but theres no patch notes "patching multiple kraken spawn"

so doubt it

and im not the only one who noticed because i told ppl who also then saw it

[eternal talon]

i'll have you know there are still bugs in the game from r1 to this very day.

and quite a few of them

[stone vine]

yes

but if it was fixed to where there was only one

it would say

[past matrix]

yeah there's even some bugs from r6 as well like stamina

[stone vine]

so could def be intentional

[stone vine]

so true

when r they removing that bug

[eternal talon]

https://tenor.com/view/blade-runner2049-blade-runner-angry-god-damnit-confused-gif-15118091

[stone vine]

i can try ask idk

ludvig

hes pretty nice

[past matrix]

also sidenote this is the reason why schaeffer will never make an in-game appearance

humans look ugly as shit in gtfo

[eternal talon]

baby

[stone vine]

u say as u look at ur 3 teammates

consistently

in game

[stone vine]

who also probs look like schaeffer

[eternal talon]

@shut mountain

[stone vine]

also love the fact clone theory actually ended up being real

[pearl trench]

We're greased tf up

[stone vine]

cried bt that

[past matrix]

chimp theory

[stone vine]

worst day ever

[past matrix]

when will they confirm it

[stone vine]

so true

[eternal talon]

chad theory is already confirmed

many times over

[past matrix]

i remember when chad theory was coined

[stone vine]

chad theory

[stone vine]

anyways u gotta believe me on the krakens

if multiple pmoms exist

so do krakens

mmmmhhmmm

[eternal talon]

pmoms are not really that special

[stone vine]

yes they are...

[eternal talon]

just genetic testing on sleepers

[stone vine]

dont diss pmom

[eternal talon]

smc made them

[past matrix]

remember when they teased that birthers had a connection to neonates and then just didnt do anything whatsoever about it

[eternal talon]

or kovac, or whoever

[stone vine]

thats like my point

kraken is man made

like

[eternal talon]

no way

[stone vine]

...

BRO THATS MY POINT LMAOOO

[stone vine]

golly gosh

im trying to say

they 100%

made more

which is pretty true

[eternal talon]

who made more what

[stone vine]

and i seen it with my own eyes

[eternal talon]

krakens are an infected variant

[stone vine]

the chimps made more squidwards

[eternal talon]

just like the floaters

infected native life to destination

[stone vine]

native life to destination

[eternal talon]

yep

[stone vine]

tf

whatd it look like before

[past matrix]

probably like a desert

with desert animals

[stone vine]

does that not make it even more obvious theres multiple anyways

NO ANIMAL LOOKS LIKE THAT

LMAO

[eternal talon]

^

[past matrix]

desert squid

[stone vine]

im not even gnna start on cuttlefish

in the desert

[past matrix]

invasive species

[eternal talon]

we don't even know if it used to be a desert

dude

[pearl trench]

Could've been an ocean previously

[eternal talon]

its been BILLIONS OF YEARS

since the allens fled to earth

[stone vine]

aliens

[eternal talon]

destination is 85x faster than our own world line

[stone vine]

they rnt aliens theyre cuties

[past matrix]

isnt the butterfly nebula supposed to be really fucking hot

[eternal talon]

extremely

[stone vine]

shut up

no

[eternal talon]

and they are in the dead center

[pearl trench]

We're time traveling and dimension skipping, an ocean drying up wouldn't be the weirdest thing to happen

[stone vine]

i suppose

would u like to tell me

how the evolutionary process of a cuttle fish to that

would happen

[pearl trench]

I'm barely following the conversation now lol nah

[eternal talon]

nam-v

[stone vine]

no way

[eternal talon]

thats your evoloutionary proccess

[stone vine]

the virus???!?!?!

[eternal talon]

also, it wouldn't be literally from a cuttlefish

[stone vine]

no ik

im kidding abt that

[stone vine]

my sarcasm isnt exactly coming through is it

[eternal talon]

look what it does to humans

[stone vine]

bro

atleast the humans fit in the complex

[past matrix]

?????

[stone vine]

how did it get that big

i also dont doubt they tested on it

[eternal talon]

we dont know

[stone vine]

or a few

[eternal talon]

maybe it was the equivalent of a whale

before being infected

[stone vine]

im not saying it was sleepers mashed together

but

could be from tampering

[past matrix]

if i had to guess it could have been a flying scuttlefish

[stone vine]

this is why i dont come here anymore ITS TINY

LLOIDHPAWIODAWD

this is funny

this chat hurts my brain too much

anyways

lets just

move on

theres more than one point blank period

i got photo evidence, biological evidence, logical evidence, homie evidence

[eternal talon]

bishop was on destination for two years

but he was only gone in earth time for about a week and a half

[stone vine]

well yes

thats how space time works

that makes sense

[eternal talon]

in e1, we don't see the pablo when we teleport back because it fucked off months ago

[stone vine]

bro is all grown up

hell be back

i just realized

[eternal talon]

during the reactor

he comes from a teleporter room

probably multiple pablos

[stone vine]

definitely

pablo lore is really weird

[past matrix]

multiple pablo theory is bad no cap

[stone vine]

wonder how he was made

[past matrix]

one immortal is better

[stone vine]

no

he likes friends

[stone vine]

him being alone would be mean

they kept him locked up all alone

[past matrix]

it would be deserved

dude is stupid

[stone vine]

hes cute tho

[past matrix]

cope

one immortal theory is way funnier and better

[stone vine]

not funnier sadder

[eternal talon]

tonk

[pearl trench]

Pablo is the worst best friend I ever had

[stone vine]

hes a good listener

[past matrix]

the same people who push the "several pablo" narrative are the same people who are saying that sleepers are actually cuttlefish

[eternal talon]

looks like that dude in half-life alyx

[stone vine]

^ this is true

but also

not me

i think the destination squidward is a giant tarantula

[stone vine]

ok

im gonna

catch up on r4 - r7 lore

[eternal talon]

it is certainly flying

[eternal talon]

read the "for dummies" doc in the pins

it explains most.

[stone vine]

okay thanks

i havent been part of lore for like 2 yrs

[past matrix]

or read "summary of gtfo lore expeditions"

[eternal talon]

just make sure to either download it or click view whole file

its too big

[eternal talon]

or both

[past matrix]

the thing that goes super in depth into every gtfo lore expedition except r7 (which im working on)

[eternal talon]

preferably bloth

mine is up-to-date on everyfin

[stone vine]

once i have more info i can make more outrageous claims

[eternal talon]

his is post-apocalypse, mine is pre-

[stone vine]

like pmom is the reason r3c1 teleported

(this is not true)

actually

[stone vine]

it would be funny

[past matrix]

we should have gotten more lore on this

[stone vine]

the e1 tank room?

oh

ur looking at something

what is that

can u go closer

[past matrix]

.

[eternal talon]

fuck that, what about HSU_666?

[past matrix]

its an image.

[stone vine]

idc

closer

describe in detail

[eternal talon]

its spiderman

[stone vine]

do something thatll help me process what that is

[eternal talon]

thats the image

[stone vine]

thanks

see

[stone vine]

DOKJAWOPDJAWD

Z AXIS PABLO

i alr have a theory on that

[eternal talon]

ENHANCE

[stone vine]

he got sticky feet cuz he drank gatorade

[past matrix]

i could have sworn i showed you this when we were e1ing awhile ago

[stone vine]

disinfection pack lore

u did

it was lit my pfp

[eternal talon]

we dont know

honestly it shouldn't do anything at all

neither should the disinfection station

[stone vine]

bro imagine just

eating disinfect

after a shift

[past matrix]

i mean you dont have to imagine it

[stone vine]

well

actually

[past matrix]

hand sanitizer exists

[stone vine]

ur right

i have to go like

shower and touch grass now

[eternal talon]

cold shower

[stone vine]

u guys try it too

[eternal talon]

suffer well.

[stone vine]

yes

[past matrix]

cold shower in 50 degree weather ew

frostty what are your thoughts on why we go back to rundown 1-6

[eternal talon]

i'm completely clueless.

just "allens" or something

i dunno

its bizarre

[past matrix]

we have an idea of what happened because of r3c1

[eternal talon]

arbitrary plot device allens go!

[pearl trench]

We're not even necessarily "going back", we might just be catching up on what's already technically happened in that alt timeline, and it'll somehow become relevant at the end

Too many questions, too few answers

5 alts left to go

[eternal talon]

not enough sandstone

literally, when do we get to see an allen?

infected or not

[past matrix]

flyers

[eternal talon]

you'd think something as big as them to the lore we'd see more of in-game than a fucking boulder.

[eternal talon]

not allens. edgar/teal log describes something completely different

also hammerstein logs rule that out now. different species and what not from multiple universes. it can't be just flyers.

also the autopsy would have rung more alarm bells if it was a giant meatball and not something humanoid.

fuck, smc kept digging up until the very end of the timeline

for some reason

[pearl trench]

$$$$$$

[eternal talon]

not even that much money

what they thought was iridium was almost entirely cretasium-77a

[pearl trench]

If the boss wants it the boss gets it, whether he's right or not

[eternal talon]

i guess.

sunk cost fallacy

garganta must've cost billions

[pearl trench]

It's basically just a corporate version of dwarves anyway

[burnt wren]

to be fair alien artifacts would go from black market much better than iridium

[pearl trench]

For sure

[burnt wren]

Not to mention the possibilities

[pearl trench]

Militaries would pay out the ear for RISE stuff too

[burnt wren]

LIke if this was as big as they assumed it was - this is a rare case of corporate playing a truly long game

[eternal talon]

kovac was actually under international scrutiny for a lot of the stuff they were up to.

[burnt wren]

Sure, Gargantha probably was worth billions to upkeep.
In return they would have a monopoly on alien artifacts, related research and much more.

[eternal talon]

which i guess.. good for the UN.

[burnt wren]

It would pay off amazingly in the long run

[pearl trench]

Not that the UN has much actual power

[eternal talon]

if it didn't end the world

but even by that point everything was pretty thoroughly fucked

[pearl trench]

Very difficult for any permanent security council seat to be held accountable for anything even in the best of times

[eternal talon]

i mean, even after NATO disbanded, SMC was still a' digging.

[pearl trench]

Grind never quits

[eternal talon]

you'd think it'd be more of a problem with the people they are selling to dropping like flies.

[pearl trench]

Line go up
Until it doesn't

Honestly has vibes of early nuclear research where they just shipped radioactives in regular crates
Demon core, anyone?

But in gtfo it's not radioactive, instead it's contagious
Which is way worse

[eternal talon]

it got out into the atlantic and from there went global

[burnt wren]

I mean... At that point why stop

Might as well hope to find a cure in there of some kind

Not like you got anything better to do

Do i be dying or do i by digging while dying and praying to find something new down there

Might as well take the hard path

[stone vine]

guys

ambience noises in c2 also

lab noises

they sound slightly off to lab noises but its not regular refinery ambience

so weird

[stone vine]

yeah im listening over the regular ambience thats so odd

its a down pitched pipe noise

soooo

probs schaeffer

anyone noticed them in other levels?

the noises are really distant in c2 but very noticeable in d1

im sure its like a heads up abt schaeffer being here

[modest thicket]

So how tf did people get down Gargantha? Like I get we have the HSU drop thing but how did it work when functional

[eternal talon]

normal stairs and elevators.

[modest thicket]

That’s what I though. Yikes.

As someone who has pretty high stamina and does cardio every day, that sounds like a damn nightmare

[stone vine]

well they def had high tech transportation

the hsu elevator for instance

like not the warden one

r7a1

they may have had some kind of “subway”

best way i can describe it is the shit the elves use in the polar express

doubt that they would have stairs that descend over 1000m

no one’s walking miles up a staircase everyday

lmao

and wouldn’t doubt they all lived down there anyways

so short travels

all i know is they def all got payed a fuck ton

i would work there

[pearl trench]

what are human rights violations in the face of a fat paycheck?

[modest thicket]

[hard fractal]

eyie lads What does CLCTR MULTITHREAD PROCESSOR ACTIVATED mean?

[past matrix]

doesnt that show up in the rundown screen?

[hard fractal]

yeah?, but i dont know what it means i was hoping someone would clarify

[burnt wren]

Well the last 3 words are self-explanatory

Now what could CLCTR possibly mean...

[hard fractal]

yeah, chances are we missed something during the rundown, possibly.

[burnt wren]

Its clearly somehow relevant to the fact that we "gained access" to older rundown

[hard fractal]

yeah but its not open even though we beat the R1 in about just an hour ago.

[burnt wren]

Possibility: Warden gained access to other dimensions and is now performing expedition cross-universally

Hence why he needed this multithread processor

But its too shallow of an explanation

[hard fractal]

well that sentence can be a fcking movie hahah, but i get your point

welp time well tell at least. ill be back if theres more information about the CLCTR

[solar nova]

CLCTR, or multithread processing?

[lofty warren]

The “injection” scream also changed.

[past matrix]

It's just how we get to previous rundown areas probably

[lofty warren]

CLCTR , collector? Collector multithread processor activated

[solar nova]

Oh, that'd actually make a lot of sense

Warden is already WRDN and all.

[hollow bough]

yeah, my first guess was collector too, don't know what else it could be

[pearl trench]

if you read the first C phonetically it could be a funny way of writing "selector" but really "collector" is almost definitely correct

[eternal talon]

The allens were collectors of species from different worlds... Hammerstein describes finding tons of unique specimens...

[honest sky]

i'm pretty sure the way we drop in was installed after the huge explosion-thing described in some logs(so after normal operation ceased and most people died). We do seem to drop into the molten chutes created by the explosion.

[solar nova]

Apparently yellow glowsticks are Alt-specific, which might imply it's part of the weird Mandela-esque multiverse stuff.

[real pewter]

is this mean we might have something weird happen in Alt rundown then

like hybrid in Alt: R1C1

[river bronze]

Definitely seems like the case. Probably why they're called "Glowsticks" and not "Yellow Glowsticks," because the universe ALT://R1 takes place in always had them as yellow instead of green.

Maybe we'll get blue-colored glowsticks for R2 or something.

[solemn kraken]

Plz 👀

[river bronze]

It would be so cool!

also add secondaries and overloads for "funsies," too.

Different universe, so those prisoners totally just so happened to suffer more than past R2 us

Yeah, that seems right.

[real pewter]

is this mean we'll get somebody else instead of schaeffer?

[solar nova]

Guys, what if Andrew is alive?

I have no idea what they'd do with that twist narratively, but you never know.

[stuck aspen]

alternate universe

biotracker is mapper now

[final sentinel]

please…

[river bronze]

Andrew who?

[solar nova]

Clinton

[river bronze]

Guess I forgor who he is

[solar vessel]

Hi. Is there a way how to play though a story of the game and experience the lore or is it forever closed just because new rundown opened.

[lofty warren]

They are releasing all the previous rundowns complete with new lore. So now is the best time!

[burnt wren]

Uh, question needs better wording.

The story and lore are experienced exclusively through terminal logs and Schaeffer's audio messages.

From rundown 1 to rundown 5 there was very little story and mostly just lore.
Rundown 6 was when story kicked in and Schaeffer became more pro-active and Rundown 7 continues his shenanigans.

You currently cannot experience R6 story until it is re-released.

[solar vessel]

i was reading the updates, lore docs, and saw the trailer that previous rundowns are closed forever, but sometimes they open one with alternate story that adds to previous

[drifting island]

they used to remove content with every new content drop.
they are no longer doing that and just started releasing alt-versions of old rundowns.

[night perch]

What are terminal logs? Are they something you need to read from the terminals themselves, though a command or something, or are they a different mechanic?

Also in R1A1 we're getting the DNA of an administrator but his HSU says the subject age is 15 years, is there a reason a 15 year old is an admin in an unethical science facility or is the warden just lying?

[drifting island]

hmmm idk about the age part, but logs are text and/or audio files on specific terminals. for text ones you need to get to the right terminal, find the full log file name and use the command "read [filename]" to access it

[night perch]

Where do I look for the log file name?

[drifting island]

~~hmmm there is a command for it, i can't remember the command off the top of my head, but ~~

the "Commands" command will show you every command for that terminal

[drifting island]

you will have to check every terminal with the "Logs" command.

[celest pagoda]

HSU statuses, as far as I'm aware, are non-cannon. They are randomized per-run

[burnt wren]

Find terminal
LOGS
There is always 1 "autogen" log - nothing important.
Get excited if it says there are 2 or more logs.
Find the one that isn't autogen
READ LOGNAME

[night perch]

thanks!

[past matrix]

In pinned, there's something called like "summary of gtfo expeditions" me and this other guy wrote

It basically says what we did from r1-r6 in terms of gameplay lore

[eternal talon]

and the "for dummies" lore for stuff that happens before the game starts.

[solar vessel]

Oh thank you. I was reading a lot but skipped that pin 😄

[snow yarrow]

DId the time of the R1 Alt after the R7 or b4 it ?

[pearl trench]

not entirely clear yet i think

[flat tiger]

r5 is when the story kicked off

[toxic kraken]

any scp enjoyers? maybe it’s a shared universe and the playable characters are just some d-class

maybe the game takes place in a scp-7004 or 6217 canon

idk just a connection i made since they’re death row inmates(i think) and so are d-class

[eternal talon]

Woods shot up a military base. Almost certainly an inmate.

Bishop got blackmail on his boss and was wiped from nearly all records of even existing. Probably not an inmate.

Hackett volunteered, so not.

Dauda wasn't a kso at all.

So really only woods would qualify

[toxic kraken]

hmm

[eternal talon]

If you are interested in the lore I highly recommend reading the "for dummies" document in this pins of this channel.

[toxic kraken]

not too invested in this game(yet) but i still think the shady vibe of the characters superiors would pass for the scp foundation

thanks, i’ll check it out!

[turbid relic]

Anyone remembers the guy Schaffer was talking to in DX?
He disappeared in R7. I wonder where he went

[hollow bough]

The guy? you mean the creature? he killed it

[turbid relic]

What was that? Sounds like a intelligent striker

[hollow bough]

It was a specimen, you find it's dead body in another mission, forgot which one

I think it was created by the warden, as a part of these missions we're being sent on, collecting neonates and samples

I'm pretty sure I read that around here somewhere, but I could be wrong

[honest sky]

Should be R6DX

[lofty warren]

But why is the warden making these things?

[real pewter]

the specimen can walk among sleeper without getting attack

it even trigger scout and didn't die

so if you can make another specimen that can carry stuff around without getting killed

[lofty warren]

But why would he set it loose?

[real pewter]

any lore guy in here explain this?

idk either

[solemn kraken]

He killed it in R6DX and it's corps could be found in R6DX as well at the end

[solemn kraken]

Well he would have new slaves that can Freely walk around without getting attacked. Altho until now every specimen was a failure

[real pewter]

we just finished another specimen in this rundown

[solemn kraken]

Meaby the one from R7 will be the finished good specimen finally as we have been using the new GLP-2 instead of GLP

[solemn kraken]

Yes but unknown for now if it's a succesfull one

[real pewter]

maybe it will become the new enemy

or the last enemy to face

[solemn kraken]

Meaby, who knows

[real pewter]

remind me again

[solemn kraken]

They obviously are planning something with it

[real pewter]

is the sleeper the remaining that died from the virus?

[solemn kraken]

The whole game has actually revolved around the specimens. So they are quite integral to the plot

[solemn kraken]

No clue about that you'd have to ask someone else 😅

[real pewter]

i could just read pin comment

[solemn kraken]

you could

[honest sky]

There's room for a very dark ending where we complete the speciman and after it proves successful off screen we get sent on a suicide mission and survive unexpectedly but just dont get picked up by the elevator

[lofty warren]

Wasn’t the whole idea behind creating a specimen that it would enable the warden to grow operatives faster?

[past matrix]

It was to allow the warden to have an easier time collecting shit

[honest sky]

Before the collapse there was a project(named "Rise" i think) for growing KSOs(essentially security guard at the time) super fast. Warden is using part of that tech to grow the specimen fast.
Rise had an issue where the brains would lack behind the body growth, creating man sized toddlers.

[nimble pewter]

I'm still a little sad that my dumb theory as to how we were gonna grow the specimen fast ended up wrong

I expected to leave it on red alpha

[pearl trench]

Ah yes, the ultimate time chamber... Arizona

[lofty warren]

In what log can I find out more about this. Point me into the direction?

[pearl trench]

iirc logs from r6c2, r6cX, and r6dX had most of the info about those particular experiments

[lofty warren]

Thank you, I’ll read up on those

[pearl trench]

I'm sure someone else will tell me I missed some later but those should be a start

[past matrix]

It's in the audio that played in r6 and also the listed logs

Also worth noting that we used a neonate in r3 to access more areas of the complex

[pearl trench]

Yeah we plugged it in like a little flesh CPU right?

That thing people normally do with babies

[solemn kraken]

is there not a log somewhere where it tells us that the R3 specimen died ?

[eternal talon]

we have know idea what happened to the r3 unit.

[solemn kraken]

thank you boss

[twin wadi]

If Henriksson is anything to go by, that doesn't actually sound like a problem

Plus there's an audiolog from the trapped dimension-hopper team that basically gives the impression the KSO's are effectively 'Dumb robots'

[worthy flower]

Wonder what those powered skeletons actually are.

[twin wadi]

Kovac HAD to have some automated defenses, right? And surely Santonian Mining had to maybe have some areas that would warrent some extra assurance. How come we never see the Warden make use of anything automated to help us out?

[pearl trench]

I wouldn't really say it's a requirement... Machines are their own sort of unreliable after all

I'd definitely be interested in seeing any if they did, though

[sharp dawn]

I always thougth that the guy we found in R6DX is the same we left in Rundown 3.

and bcuz Schaeffer finished him off , we were tasked in Rundown 7 to build a new one

[past matrix]

An idea 10cc had a few years back was, iirc, turrets that would shoot at you

They've said that they don't have plans for new environmental hazards for r8 but I wouldn't be surprised if they add the idea back and make it where the warden is trying to gain back control

[pearl trench]

Maybe if we go deep into KDS areas again

[twin wadi]

What I really wanna know is...

...Why is it always raining when its time to wake-up and do a mission? Super dreary and depressing night-time, every time. Why not a beautiful sunny day to really rub in just how close you are to the surface, before you're plunged right into the monstrous abyss?

[past matrix]

because its all a simulation

[gritty nest]

That'd be interesting.

[past matrix]

alpha to r6 ALT are all just the Warden testing us to see if we would ever stray away from it; there's thousands of other simulations as well, looking for the perfect prisoners

its night and raining because that's the default. The simulation needs time to start up and not everything has been loaded in yet

[twin wadi]

The Warden is dumb for trying to simulate the perfect prisoners instead of just making droids to clean up Garganta.

[pearl trench]

The real explanation is probably just "it's cooler", but I do hope they give us some bs explanation at some point for it because it would be funny

Like the simulation, or just "sleepers are less active during rain"

[twin wadi]

That's technically what I was getting at with the Automated defenses thing. Why doesn't the Warden (which is totally not an Immoral AI) Just order the prisoners to fetch it some equipment/materials, get some KSO (Like Henriksson or that other guy who's now dead) to build a blueprint for connectable, disposable flamethrower turrets-on-wheels, then get a prisoner or two for doors that require human intervention and just go burninating Garganta until everything fleshy is dead?

[gritty nest]

Because it doesn't want everything dead. In fact unless I've missed something, does the warden even order you to ever kill anything? As far as I'm aware it's always data retrieval or something like that

[solar nova]

Survival and path clearing are the closest we get to "kill this," and we're mostly just exploring, prepping maintenance, or diverting the swarm's attention.

[burnt wren]

Yes, Warden doesn't care for killing anything. Sleepers technically do not interfere with his job in any way - they don't break or touch anything. All they do is slow down our simple "go here and acquire this thingy" mission to a grinding halt, where it takes an hour to do an expedition just to find some goddamn jar of DNA-rich piss.

Hence why he's trying so hard to create one of those artifical Neonate Units and make it so that sleepers ignore their existence.
Ability to traverse complex without having to stealth, fight during security scans or searching for loot will speed up objective acquisition by a major margin. Probably good 200-300% faster.

Ironically a good half of our objectives ends up being commited to that exact project.

It's like Warden's top priority.

Either:
A) He's aware that our time is short and eventually we will succumb to NAM-V and trying to create a reliable, replacable army that he can use for his goals
B) He wants to send that unit deeper than we ever went, where he thinks our chances to survive are basically 0, so he'd rather waste his time on creating a perfect infiltration unit than declare war on lower levels and have us grind through armies of sleepers just to explore whatever is down there.

[pure dragon]

Regarding your second point, imagine if the ANUs are a complete failure? Like, they release R8 and we see an F tier objective. Imagine that

[finite vine]

this is a cool point. the thing is though, I want the story to take us down to the inner and the egg, because I want some interesting content lmao

[twin wadi]

So wait, I thought the ALT Series was gonna be us returning to the old rundowns with Schaefer behind the wheel and giving us feedback. Rundown 7 was when he killed the Neonate, correct?

[eternal talon]

r6 extended.

and it wasn't a neonate, it was fully grown. a unit

[twin wadi]

Not the one we handle?

[eternal talon]

unless you are dragging a full-sized HSU with you

no

[twin wadi]

sad 😦 So it's not a 'punishment re-run', and it's not 'Schafer behind the wheel'

[lilac island]

hi can i get lore tldr

thanks

[pearl trench]

it's either "schaeffer behind the wheel" or "schaeffer lost the wheel oh god oh f-"

[eternal talon]

"for dummies" in the pins

either download it or click "view whole file"

that is for pre-apocalypse lore.

read the "summary of expeditions" for post-apocalypse

[lilac island]

thx

[twin wadi]

Extremely morally questionable corporations dabble with magic space rocks from the [Meteor that killed the dinosaurs] crater. Discover alternative dimensions/Galaxy teleportation, time distortion, and a death disease that breaks your bones and cracks your head in half. On the plus side, you get a nice new set of teeth to go into that new cavity! Also, everyone is dead from said disease, and your only hope is a cryosleep pod that makes you forget everything. Morally dubious AI is making you do things.

Not really TLDR but I tried

[eternal talon]

you want gigachad?

[eternal talon]

here ya go

[lilac island]

AAA game "lore"

i cant believe they revived task force 141 just to milk them from dummies

[eternal talon]

i've put way too much effort into some of my memes

this is

"if we every get to see what ancient destination looked like before the allens went extinct"

[past matrix]

I think it would have made the most sense if it was

hopefully we get lore reasoning on why we go back

[burnt wren]

Everything point to the fact that we didn't go back, its just alt dimension variants of us doing the same objective.
The log with mysterious Bishop's Mask spare that shouldn't exist pretty much confirms it.

The real question is... Why is this something that we, the players, have to experience? What's doing on here?
Did warden unlocked encoded reports of missions from another dimensions and we are just watching the playback?
Surely if he was ACTUALLY sending us back - the prisoners would have something to say about that, like "huh, i swear i've seen this one"

[past matrix]

It being alt dimensions of us is just so boring of an explanation

I refuse to believe

Alt dimensions in the story would be super interesting, something like r6d4

[burnt wren]

Sure is, but anything else just introduces more opportunities for writers to write up some big nonsense

[past matrix]

But "the prisoners somehow get sent to another alternate dimension to view previous rundowns!!" is so cringe

[burnt wren]

I can't make it make sense at the moment, and that's not a good sign

[past matrix]

It's probably true tbh

[burnt wren]

The "its just a log describing the events from another variant" solution is simple and doesn't do as much long term damage

The main point is to just give us back old content to play

Frankly they didn't had to explain it at all

Just suck it up and go "yeah, we're bringing old shit back with a facelift, sorry for that whole content removal thing"

And yet they went an extra mile to be like "a-ha, see? it's not just your old content, its different and there's lore behind it too!"

...sounds kinda cringe i word it like that, but i still can appreciate the effort.

(but fucking with multiverse was still a big mistake, do you want to be Dr Strange 2 of gaming?)

[hollow basalt]

Explain GTFO lore but as if you’re explaining it to a child

[real pewter]

you know the story about monster under the bed?

ye, you're now under the bed with the monster

[hollow basalt]

@real pewter that is perfect

[eternal talon]

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... there were these creatures called the allens

[late raven]

Its not neccesarilly the case that the prisoners would recognize the previous rundowns since the pods causes memory loss

[hollow basalt]

Allens

Beware of the spooky Allens

[eternal talon]

The allens encountered or made the mostly deadly virus the galaxy had ever seen

This virus killed most of them, and the survivors fled to earth across time and space

[past matrix]

company goes to do wacky things and finds secret alien virus that is evil and the world ends

[eternal talon]

However, the virus came with them

Eventually, the ship the allens came to earth with gets discovered by santonian mining company

And the virus gets out

And all of human civilization is destroyed

The end.

[hollow basalt]

Most likely it was a virus that they were immune to and when they came they brought it. Kinda like when Europe met the natives

[eternal talon]

They weren't immune. 1) we meet no living allens

2. they crashed into the Yucatan, they didn't land.

3. their place of origin before earth, destination, is barren of most life

If you'd like a summary of the lore that is more in-depth, you can read the "for dummies" document in the pins

[hollow basalt]

Well since I’m new I’ll guess we got a lot possibles.

But if they crashed into the planet it most likely was a miss jump or fleeing

[eternal talon]

Well they were fleeing. From destination. Their entire civilization got wiped out

Even Hammerstein finds corpses down in the inner

[hollow basalt]

Then it was a mistake they brought it

[eternal talon]

And countless specimens and species from different planets and possibly universes

[eternal talon]

Yes

[hollow basalt]

But you say there is different species, that means that ship was a ship fleeing from a galactic centre or colony planet that houses species from many planets which is even worse meaning this virus is a galactic reset virus if it’s that far out

[eternal talon]

Possibly. We know very little.

Destination is in an entirely different plain of existence aswell

The allens were so advanced they could travel between world-lines (basically universes/timelines)

The MWP we use to go to destination in game is their tech

[hollow basalt]

That makes it even worse, if the virus was from one universe or it has been clinging to this space ship spreading which makes it even more scary

[eternal talon]

That project insight has repurposed to launch expeditions there

[hollow basalt]

Oh dear that could be so much worse

[eternal talon]

From the r7e1 log, it would seem that it might possibly be an allen-made bioweapon that got out of control

And not be natural

[hollow basalt]

Well if it’s a bio weapon that means the virus could never truly be the same since it will evolve on its own

And if we go to different universes it will most likely be different

[eternal talon]

It can spread through almost any vector, is 100% lethal, is hyper-infectious, and has no cure. Once you have it, you will have it forever and will be dead within 5 weeks.

You can slow it but you can never halt it or reverse it

Once you get it you are fucked.

[hollow basalt]

Hmm, makes you wonder if theirs species that are immune to it

[eternal talon]

If there is, we haven't heard of it.

[hollow basalt]

Well it doesn’t infect machines so a machine race lol

[lofty warren]

Doesn’t it state somewhere that an HSU kills the virus but you can get reinfected once you leave the HSU or is that just the parasite?

[twin wadi]

So what is it that happened to Mr State Of Truth in his last log? NAM-V doesn't really explain his sudden bout of dreams and mixed up timelines.

[real pewter]

it's a teaser for ALT R1

[twin wadi]

But does it show that maybe the alternate universe peeking that people like the Warden and Garganta before everything went cuckoo was doing is having its effect on things? People?

[real pewter]

it also means that, all the universe is merging

[twin wadi]

I just had an awful thought

What if GTFO actually means GTFO from this universe? The Warden is trying to complete the dimension hopper research so it sends us to an earth where the NAM-V virus never existed?

[real pewter]

right now, i don't see one

and the warden also have another plan

[lilac island]

Guys, i worked on it for a while and i would like to share it here with you, a file with all Logs and Audio files containing Lore about GTFO, all lined up systematically in order to make life easier while searching for informations, i hope it will help you and also i hope you will find everything you need in there, i will keep updating it as soon as there will be new content avaible online, enjoy
i suggest to open it with Wordpad

[burnt wren]

I don't like rtf files

What is even that extension

[lilac island]

Rich Text File

[sacred cargo]

Hey, nerds. Is there anything in the lore about the virus affecting animals?

[burnt wren]

Nope.

Nuffin.

Presumably killed them like everyone else

[sacred cargo]

Didn't it change humans though?

[burnt wren]

Only in the Complex

Mutants are a team work by both the virus and the parasite (especially the latter)

Namv escaped in its 100% lethal glory, but parasite got quarantined in the complex.

So mutants are exclusive to garganta. Everyone outside just die.

[sacred cargo]

Alright, so the parasite just never got interested in animals.

[burnt wren]

No it simply didn't got the chance to interact with them.

There are no animals in the complex.

[sacred cargo]

No insects? No bats? No rats?

[burnt wren]

Kovac managed to stop the parasite from escaping, but there's Jack shit they could do against namv.

Safe to say bats and rats are out of the question. They digged a giant hole in the ocean.

Insects though...

We do have Spitters. We have no idea where they come from.

[sacred cargo]

I mean, rats could have been brought in for experiments.

[burnt wren]

Maybe. No info on that and we haven't seen one, so...

[sacred cargo]

But I got the answer

Yeah, thanks

[past matrix]

iirc in the labs there's growths that seem like its able to do shit to plants

so i wouldnt doubt if it can do things to animals

[river bronze]

Rundown 8 on entirely Gardens tiles but the trees are now an environmental hazard

You get near them, they snatch you

[burnt wren]

Dead space comes to mind

[still furnace]

dead space is a good game but i lost interest in 3. the whole alien thing wasn't needed and ruined the core story. even the developers commented that they felt the alien thing was unnecessary.

frankly i liked how GTFO was before the whole weird alien thing. i'd rather see more creature mutations in the lower levels

[solemn kraken]

if real new creatures like the snatcher then yes. if hjust variants like shadows then nah

[heady orchid]

so, is there any new lore in alt r1

or did i miss it all

[solemn kraken]

there is some but dunno where and what it was

[burnt wren]

We got a couple of new logs hinting at some multi dimensional bullshit.

One of researchers found Bishop's mask stuck under the teleportation device.
Even though bishop already returned... With his own mask.
He brought the issue to superiros: hey did you gave him any other masks? Does he like makes them on his own? Anything? The superiors just gave him the confused looks.
So he brought the issue to Dr Stokes, put the mask into the artifact vault and left it at that for Ms Stokes to figure out.

There is also a log of some unknown individual escaping the complex and kovac sending everyone after him.

...
Wait...
Holy shit. Could it be the other Bishop?!

[celest pagoda]

spectrogram of the B2 signal log. Seems like there's something but I can't get anything out of this. Any ideas?

[burnt wren]

looks like a cage or a very dystopian super city

OTher than that weewee woowoo

[solar nova]

Maybe counting the positions of the lines on the grid?

[lofty warren]

How about time travel? What if a bishop from the future went back to that point in time and lost his mask?

[celest pagoda]

The horizontal lines do appear to be perfectly spaced between each other

No coincidence there

There's definitely something here. They've done a spectrogram before, so I'd assume it's not out of question.

[solar nova]

They have?

[celest pagoda]

Remember R5A2, the corrupted logs amongst the normal ones? Someone stitched em together and put em into a spectrogram. I'll find the vid

This ^

[minor saffron]

Quick thought on the teleporting, it could be having an effect on everything, both the Levels (Hence ALT being slightly different layouts as different universe or something) and people, even though they didnt teleport themselves, it's created a distortion between all the things, so State of Truth Man thought the meridia earthquake was a month earlier, because it was a month earlier in a different universe?

and Schaffer questioning if he has said things before

this also ties in with the 2 versions of EF-01, lore to explain each run, everyone is playing in their own universe, where slightly different things happened

and in Rundown 2, didnt the community as a whole have to finish a certain map a certain amount of times?

oh muh god, the lore!

I'm gonna go get some red wool

[real pewter]

yes

[open geyser]

I managed to get quite a bit of lore on one log

[celest pagoda]

original and outlined;

Noticed what appeared to be patterns throughout the image. Weird pillars that repeat across the image. Some almost appear to be cables and plugs?

[harsh saffron]

the middle ones look like a hydraulic press to me

[shut mountain]

To me they just lowkey look like the flood ways columns in certain tiles

[burnt wren]

Show it to the French, maybe they'll figure it out

[solar nova]

We sure this isn't Morse or something?

Like, I feel like the pillars aren't shapes themselves, but some kind of height indicator.

Which would explain the horizontal lines.

I'm also starting to feel like the writing team has officially decided the last few messages were baby easy.

[solar nova]

Can you take a screen of different areas of the spectrogram heavily zoomed in?

I'm wondering if there's some heavy granularity we're missing.

[minor sleet]

What are we collecting core samples for exactly

Like what do they do and who needs them?

[solar nova]

DNA core samples are for security access.

The security system checks for your DNA, you present the sample or some kind of fabrication of the sample.

[minor sleet]

So we’re collecting dna samples for someone to pass security checkpoints?

It makes no sense that we’re collecting them for ourselves because we always launch from the corporate machine thing and return to it

It also doesn’t seem to make much sense that simply picking up the sample causes an endless horde to spawn

At least not from a lore perspective

[solar nova]

We literally do a bioscan every other door.

And yeah, if we tamper w/ DNA used for security clearance that'd probably set something off.

[celest pagoda]

Not exactly sure how to do so, beyond just zooming in on the original output image. Is there a specific software that'd be best for it?

[solar nova]

Thought you might be able to do it in the software that gave you it. What's the resolution of it?

[celest pagoda]

The first was 1280 x 720, the second two (edited and non edited) were 1800 x 280

I used basic web software for it, I'm not too familiar with spectrogram stuff, just the basics.

I'm using actual software now, and I have a few variations of the image now. Sending soon

bottom part of 1 looks like dots, morse code maybe? I aint too familiar with morse

[solar nova]

What ddoes it mean?

[celest pagoda]

put it thru some actual software, did my best to make the background different from the lines

I'm not experienced with this. The software I used was sonic visualizer. I have no idea what setup would even be right, there's so many options.

[burnt wren]

still looks like a city to me

either we're reading too deep into this or we're looking at it from the wrong angle

for all we know its just a spooky sound

perhaps the fact that there was an unauthorised transmission in the first place is the real lore

[solar nova]

The audio appearing that way, from my understanding, is fairly unnatural.

Like, you'd have to go out of your way to make it look like that, as opposed to being the actual sound.

If I'm understanding it, anyway.

[open geyser]

can someone do some analysis on simple ambiense noises? i dont know if those creepy noises in the background mean anything, particularly when close to danger

[solar nova]

The "puffing" sound is weird.

Makes me wonder if that's what we should be trying to interpret.

[solar nova]

They don't mean much.

[solar nova]

Any idea if there's something to isolate the left/right channels?

[open geyser]

mm... i see.

[solar nova]

Because there seems to be some weirdnesss to the directional audio.

[celest pagoda]

I'm not sure but I'll try to find out

[celest pagoda]

Isolating it did something. Ill try to get clear images

[celest pagoda]

I'll outline in a sec. I'm not even sure I did the splitting right as I used an online program that split it into 5 separate isolated tracks. But this one had something that looks like a pipe, or a series of connected pipes?

Right in the middle, vertical wise

ignore the white line, something from the program

[celest pagoda]

I think its part of that lil thing ya noticed

[solar nova]

The puffs?

[celest pagoda]

i think so

I think it is morse like you said, I don't think were gonna get an actual image out of this

[eternal talon]

allens?

or has that been disproven by this point

i haven't really been keeping up with the conversation in here for a couple days

[celest pagoda]

The signal from R1B2, when put into a spectrogram, puts out images that seem intentional

I just have n o c l u e what I am looking for

if its morse, looking vertically what if the short lines are . and the longer ones are -

or vice versa

[celest pagoda]

Honestly French discord would probably know what to do, they've cracked quite the few confusing ciphers

[celest pagoda]

Like theres clearly something there, but I have no idea what I'm doing.

[dusk frost]

solved

[little dirge]

Simple question for people who have played this game

Why is everyone looking like that weird magnetic liquid when you put a magnet near them

What I mean is what the hell are they smoking and why do they look like bubbles are growing in their asses

Btw if your wondering why I asked this in here is because I'm guessing it's some virus which has largely connected to the lore

[twilit girder]

It feels like you are asking about something, but i have no clue what you on about

Sorry

[little dirge]

What's going on with the enemies

Why they look like that

[twilit girder]

well.

The one thing i can say is

It's prob due to EA

im joking, Nam-v virus caused that shit...

probably

[little dirge]

Wot

[twilit girder]

#gtfo-lore message this is the link to a document in this channel called, lore for dummies. its in the pinned also if you dont trust my link

Frostyy typed it

cuz telling you everything about it would take...

hours

So have fun

[little dirge]

Alr thanks

[twilit girder]

otherwise the site santonianindustries.com is a terminal with all the logs of the game in them

can be used in most browsers

in case of trust issues

[little dirge]

Alr so I didn't read all of it but I need you to say if im correct here

A bunch of goofy aliens did some stupid shit and accidentally killed a bunch of dinasours then returned from the ground because they were bored

And did some goofy shit to earth

But a company wanted to profit off of their goofy territory's loot so they sent a bunch of deathrow inmates to go shoot the goofy aliens hiding in their mines

[twilit girder]

goofy alien virus on asteroid that killed dinos woke up once they foraged it too far yes

at least that was the theory

[little dirge]

Alr simple enough

Those are some pretty goofy aliens

[twilit girder]

but no, the inmates were sent after those were a thing

like

they mined it

[little dirge]

So wait

[twilit girder]

made a huge mess

[little dirge]

Oh alr

[twilit girder]

then sent prisoners for stuff

prisoners arent the miners

[little dirge]

So the miners made a big poopoo and instead of sending military and bunches of spec ops to clean it up they went the cheap route and sent a bunch of lunatics

[twilit girder]

thing is

the "alien" is a virus

it transformed humans

[little dirge]

Oh

Wait

[twilit girder]

and it affected the surface too

[little dirge]

So the "aliens"

Are a bunch of intelligent bugs

Who take over living things

Then use them as vessels?

[twilit girder]

intelligent is pushing it

parasite would be closer

[little dirge]

Parasite bugs that mutate living things into vessels used to mutate more things and make more parasites all only to eat what? A whole planet/species?

Then die out after?

Because of having no food?

[twilit girder]

Parasites are dependant on the host, but they have no inners thoughts like population consumption and stuff

If you think about it

they aint evil, they just a predatory race

and since humans are currently on top of the food chain, they are preying on us making them the new top

[little dirge]

So they are just really stupid and really aggressive but smart enough to tell their own kind apart from others?

[twilit girder]

every species is smart enough to tell their kind apart

[little dirge]

And this idiot species of bugs accidentally pressed the big red button to go to earth

[twilit girder]

they didnt choose?

they were on an asteroid

that annihilated the dinosaurs

[little dirge]

So confusing

Then after hitting earth

[twilit girder]

they slept

for millions of years

[little dirge]

They slept like babies smoking a joint?

[twilit girder]

prob reproduced as a cellular being

[little dirge]

How high were they to sleep for a couple million years

[twilit girder]

then infected the first thing they came in contact to, humans

are you high

[little dirge]

No

[twilit girder]

susge

[little dirge]

What

[twilit girder]

viruses have no thoughts

[little dirge]

So the bugs just turn vessels brains into mush?

[twilit girder]

bruh

its a virus

idk what you want from me

[little dirge]

Zombies are still sentient and smart?

Which is a virus

[twilit girder]

there is not better explanation

[little dirge]

Passed from multiple ways

But a couple alien parasites are not sentient and just really stupid aggressive monkeys?

Who sometimes accidentally mutate into bigger better stupid aggressive monkeys?

[twilit girder]

why monkeys

[solar nova]

I mean, they act about the same as ants do, so not that out there.

[twilit girder]

i wouldnt call them aggressive

just territorial

😂

[little dirge]

Wait if the miners screwed up

Did they finish the job?

Like before we went in?

[twilit girder]

the moment we go in

everyone is dead

at least is my theory

[little dirge]

Oh ok so the miners were mining

And accidentally touched some funny virus

And then everyone got it

And then they went radio silent

[twilit girder]

I really cant call it funny

and no radio silence since some got out and infected others

I think its in r5 we learn of that

[little dirge]

Ok so everyone in there touched the goofy aliens and some crawled out of the hole to touch a couple guys then get shot and quarantined until they decide to send a couple maniacs in to kill their entire species

They locked up the hole until further notice like an amusement park

[twilit girder]

the warden never used the term kill them

[little dirge]

Potato potatoe

[twilit girder]

so i dont think thats the play

[little dirge]

You think they want their mine full of a hyper aggressive alien species that attacks on sight?

And before you say Territorial

You said they crawled out

[twilit girder]

I feel like the warden is an AI trying to find a cure to save the humans in hydrostasis, but they need samples and ingredients to work

not the aliens

they didnt crawl out

[little dirge]

I'm saying the mutated people

[twilit girder]

some humans infected but still asymptomatic got out

[little dirge]

Oh

[twilit girder]

like covid, you can catch it from people who have no symptoms

[little dirge]

So they shut down the hole until they had plans?

[solar nova]

P sure everyone's dead.

[little dirge]

Yeah

[twilit girder]

im pretty sure everyone outside of hydrostasis is dead

[little dirge]

Anybody who was in that mine when it happened is dead

Except for us

[twilit girder]

oh no, we're dead with every extraction i think

[little dirge]

They send different people every time?

[twilit girder]

I dont believe in the chad theory

[little dirge]

They just kill em after?

[twilit girder]

no

they die of the infection
