gtfo-lore

[coral gorge]

That was the point

you fucking ||REDACTED||

Oh boy dunno if you can say that

[royal crow]

Pls point out the point

[coral gorge]

gonna have to call the mods

[royal crow]

I can't see the point

[lone beacon]

okay fine
||hybrid||

[coral gorge]

mods nuke him for harrasment

n o w

[coral gorge]

Sell your kidney and go see an eye doctor

sounds like a serious issue

[lone beacon]

this guy is telling lies, you should sell your eye and go to a kidney doctor

[coral gorge]

No better idea, you should sell both of your kidneys and eyes and then use that money to fund your funeral

(just one pro tip: make the funeral payments prior to the operations, you arent gonna last long enough to make them after both your kidneys are gone)

[royal crow]

Is that a challenge?

[coral gorge]

No

its been done before

[royal crow]

I Will take it as a challenge then

Watch me

[coral gorge]

||i bet it had been checked in aushwitz||

||just read the raports conveniently stored in south america||

[lone beacon]

bro what 💀

[coral gorge]

Jokes aside

that sounds like smth Mengele would have done

hell he probably fucking did it

[lone beacon]

probably not the place to talk about this 💀

[coral gorge]

No its integral to gtfo lore

trust me

||gartanta was just a glorified concentration camp||

okay ill stop now

[lone beacon]

what the fuck is this? mods kill this guy

[eternal talon]

i'm disappointed in everyone here

[raw terrace]

smh spoiling the answers

i was gonna reveal it when it ended

[eternal talon]

six votes and only one is 2 yrs.

(and that one is me 😭 )

[coral gorge]

frosty

no one ever was born with the name "scheaffer"

its a lie

ITS AN AI

A FAKE

sweden isnt real

[royal crow]

You know what isnt real?

[coral gorge]

y o u r m o m

[royal crow]

Who is that?

[next panther]

what

[coral gorge]

i didnt say nr1frosty you dummy

[next panther]

it was implied

[raw terrace]

wrong

bitches /j

[raw terrace]

pablo did smell

omg

[lilac island]

Damn hes so young

[lone beacon]

oh no Schaeffer is gen alpha

[lilac island]

Ban shaeffer hes too young to use discord

[royal crow]

do you think Schaeffer is a skibidi toilet fan?

this is important for the lore

[coral gorge]

Oh my god

that explains it all

scheaffer feeds off skibidi videos in the complex

his gyatt keeps him clean of the virus

he is just so sigma

||kill me||

[royal crow]

fuck off cubix

this time you went too far

get ready for your punishment

[midnight ruin]

this is the scariest thing ive seen all week

[royal crow]

Someone tell Frostty we figured out the schaeffer plot hole

Schaeffer managed to survive thanks to skibidi toilet

[coral gorge]

Oh my god it all really does make sense
There are no plot holes, just holes in our understanding.
The writers have simply predicted the brainrot era and its consequences on the human body!

[north obsidian]

is there anything i can do on the santonian industries website? like read logs or something?

[lone beacon]

Pablo gang

[eternal talon]

that is pretty much its only purpose. 10cc used it as a sort of "official" log catalogue, and even hosted a number of exclusive never-in-game logs there. pretty much everything there is now also stored on the wiki, though.

i should also note, it never at any point, actually included every log, so it never really even fulfilled its intended purpose, and was abandoned years ago, before ALT:// even released.

if you want to dig through the website regardless, follow these steps.

1: click on the santonian industries logo.
2: click on the "Missing image!" prompt.

you should now be at a "user@root" page.
from there, type "commands" and "help" and you should get the jidst.

CD an archive and READ a log name

[north obsidian]

ok

[drowsy roost]

You can also find all the santonianindustries.com logs on the wiki; https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Santonianindustries.com

[coral gorge]

wow @eternal talon you had no input in our great skibidi toilet scheaffer theory?

[eternal talon]

(more like ignoring it)

[royal crow]

But

it all makes sense now

[lone beacon]

based

[midnight ruin]

[north obsidian]

has anyone ever done like a full cover of the entire gtfo story, i know theres some videos but they only just cover the main lore, like something that covers every single major/minor character that appears in the story.

[raw terrace]

that would b like 12 hours

[royal crow]

Nope

I'm still waiting for the Frostty GTFO 20 hours lore video

[north obsidian]

is this real

[eternal talon]

Depends On what you mean by "cover"

If you mean like... a "for dummies" of the lore... I have made such resources.

[royal crow]

he means ALL of the lore

main and sub plots as well

[north obsidian]

i want all of it

[eternal talon]

That's kinda not really possible. That'd just be a document of endless tangents going to explain unrelated stories

Most of the subplots are entirely contained and don't reference eachother

There is no straight timeline that includes everything, from beginning to end

[royal crow]

sad

well

who wants to do it

[north obsidian]

is janson davies dead

[eternal talon]

Yes

[royal crow]

everyone is dead

im not memeing

everyone is already dead

[north obsidian]

i havent gotten to r8e2’s ending yet

[royal crow]

except Durant and CO
(and us, obviously)

[north obsidian]

i only know everything up to r8d2

so like when and how did they die

[eternal talon]

If this is the level of the lore we are talking about, introductory and basic stuff, then I'd reccomend just using the search function in this channel to find my most recent "for dummies" document. It is no longer pinned.

[north obsidian]

ok

[eternal talon]

Okay, yeah.

Read the for dummies doc then come back with any questions it doesn't answer and I'll fill you in

[royal crow]

[eternal talon]

(On mobile, so can't link, pable if you can rq)

[royal crow]

actual lore discussion? how long has it been?

wrong ping

[royal crow]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/15mz7Ly3dR9dn62-OTWl8UdPnp_5IYHc0uizfj2fxxoM/edit?tab=t.

there

[eternal talon]

It's not a Google doc

It's a .txt file

That Google doc is ancient

[royal crow]

i have like 3 files with the same name
i have no clue why

[eternal talon]

#gtfo-lore message

I think this is it

[royal crow]

oh great

i got it wrong

3 times in a row

[eternal talon]

Again, on mobile, currently suffering through search function

[royal crow]

its not that bad

i like it

[eternal talon]

Just search function the 📌 symbol, I always used it

Just note the image is incorrect

[royal crow]

yeah i think cubix fixed it

[eternal talon]

I have a new version of it, in PDF format, that I haven't worked on in months though

[royal crow]

fixed version

[eternal talon]

I think the alt://r1 schaeffer morse is a problem with it. I don't know. Too many issues in general

Kinda wanna have both graphs as potential truths

[solar nova]

There isn't, though.

The fixed image is leaps and bounds more plausible.

[eternal talon]

i've still yet to hear an explanation for the alt//r1d1 morse.

[lone beacon]

Schaeffer was venting

[eternal talon]

schaeffer was in kds:deep.

sleeping.

that just gets into the Schaeffer Discrepancy which is literally just a plot hole where they wrote the logs wrong.

he can't escape kds-deep prior to r5e1, yet his logs of him escaping were in r4.

[lone beacon]

does that happen in both timelines?

[eternal talon]

yes.

[lone beacon]

I dunno then ¯_(ツ)_/¯

as you said that just seems like a plothole

[eternal talon]

if i recall correctly, the entire reason for the original version of that worldline graph being the way it was is because of two things.

1: the alt//r1a1 schaeffer morse
2: the alt//r6 corpses of bishop and dauda, pre-r8

i conceded that perhaps the alt//r6 corpses were intended to be a prelude to the true worldline merging that is r8. the r1d1 morse is still unexplained.

[lone beacon]

aren't the corpses just from alternate dimensions (not ALT or OG) that appeared there because of the MWP messing things up?

[eternal talon]

thats the thing with r8, yeah. half a dozen or more worldlines merging together because of the matter wave projector malfunctioning.

(including destination)

[lone beacon]

are Destination and Alpha Six the same thing?

[eternal talon]

alpha six? wha?

[lone beacon]

or whatever it was called

[eternal talon]

the "alpha" sites are just outposts set up on destination by insight.

[lone beacon]

Red Alpha, my bad (thought it was Alpha Six for some reason)

[eternal talon]

(not to be confused with red alpha, which was a mission to mars several decades ago)

red alpha is compeltely unrelated to destination, and was a mission led by Kovac to Mars, about 30 years ago

long before the complex was even a thought

the logs mentioning red alpha were in regards to hydrostasis being first invented.

before the legion program (us) existed.

the legion program was made by kovac using the side effect of hydrostasis wiping memories instead as a feature combined with implants and copious amounts of drugs

[solar nova]

This was the original disagreement, which I believe was more than resolved.

It is also not a unique alt issue.

This plot hole exists in OG as well.

It's simpler to assume it's a plot hole, or has some alternative explanation about the WRDN losing access to KDS Deep at some point, or that there's something we don't understand about the R5E1 objective, than to think that there are 4 Schaeffers when there is no other evidence of that idea.

[solar nova]

If anything, the plot hole exists in the OG timeline in specific, I don't believe the alt specifies that Schaeffer KSOs themselves in KDS deep, while OG does.

[queen gazelle]

What was the shaffer Morse code in alt r1

Why is it an issue?

[solar nova]

The issue in general has to do with OG R6BX (now AX) logs describing pre-KSO Schaeffer in an abandoned section in the complex making their way to KDS deep and entering hydrostasis.

[queen gazelle]

And it couldn’t have happened while R1d1 happened I guess

[solar nova]

Thing is, it seems like the point of R5E1 is to access KDS deep and obtain the KSOs there for the WRDN, but Schaeffer is very clearly around and free in R4.

Assuming alt also has this feature, Schaeffer might be free as early as R1D1, and is definitely free by R3D1 (since he leaves logs there).

It's the same problem, but even earlier into the rundown.

[queen gazelle]

I mean r1-r4 is only about 5 hours Ray

Not that big of a deal

[solar nova]

TRUE

What if R5 prequel theory, though?

What if R5 happens first chronologically?

Or what if R4 and R5 are non-chronological, explaining why they're such a mess of meaningless fetch quests.

R5E1 would have to happen before R5C3 I guess.

[queen gazelle]

I feel like shaffer being out earlier doesn’t matter too much?

[solar nova]

But in all seriousness, Kovac survived for a very long time, so it's very possible that Schaeffer simply gets moved out of KDS deep at some point.

which explains the plot hole in both timelines.

[solar nova]

Why?

[queen gazelle]

why does it change anything

[solar nova]

Because Schaeffer becomes a KSO in KDS deep

[queen gazelle]

so he needs to go insane

Then go to r1d1

[solar nova]

No.

[queen gazelle]

oh because the warden doesn’t have access to kds deep

[solar nova]

Yes, that is the alleged plot hole.

[queen gazelle]

huge brain idea Ray. What if we aren’t the only team that has freed up kds deep

And it is constantly being gained ground

And lost ground

[sudden quarry]

what if its just like helldivers 2

no freaking way

[queen gazelle]

What if we aren’t the only team

That makes progress

i know this might be insane

[solar nova]

I think there's a lot of ways to account for it.

[queen gazelle]

But surely we Aren’t the only team

[solar nova]

But 3-4 Schaeffers is a very exotic option.

[queen gazelle]

That does things

[solar nova]

Have you seen pubs?

Remember, the pub experience is canon.

[queen gazelle]

Yeah but like send 16 pubs

like why not

[solar nova]

MG players actually do waste all of your ammo and cause a wipe.

[sudden quarry]

imagine thats how you actually die

you die cause ur buddy in your group wastes all the ammo

and you have to exist with that memory in the afterlife

[queen gazelle]

I hate to say it

[solar nova]

One of the prisoners wakes and then kills the mom in R4E1

[queen gazelle]

The collectors aren’t very smart

[sudden quarry]

LMFAO

[queen gazelle]

like the collectors have no concept of warfare with the sleepers

[sudden quarry]

your heartrate when your friend wakes up a mom and then kills it

[queen gazelle]

Guys I woke up the mom don’t worry I will handle it

[royal crow]

I mean

If anything they would be the best ones at fighting the sleepers

And they still died

Lol

[queen gazelle]

Yeah yet I can kill like 50 tanks at once

Like ngl

They are stupid

[solar nova]

I think the explanation for this is just that outright trying to fight the sleepers doesn't work, and so it makes more sense to have lots of small groups fighting a guerilla war.

[sudden quarry]

they werent aware of the little trick you can do with a door

[royal crow]

Yeah

Sending everyone at once would be a really bad idea

[queen gazelle]

not sending everyone at once

Sending like 5

5 guys

6 even

[royal crow]

The lift only holds 4 people

[queen gazelle]

Two trips

[royal crow]

Waste of time

And again
A bad idea

Imagine having a team waiting for the next group

[queen gazelle]

Most pubs have about 30 mins of afk time

Idk pablex

[royal crow]

Bro

The average KSO is better than 99% of pubs

Trust

[queen gazelle]

I don’t know

Are all kds agents omega chads

[royal crow]

Im going to use another game as example on why sending a lot of people is a bad idea
In Destiny the vanguard sent thousands of guardians to fight one enemy
They all fucking died and humanity almost goes extinct

The same kinda applies here
If anything goes wrong You are putting a lot of people in danger which straight up can fuck everything if the warden runs out of people fast

Is better to send small teams over and over again

That way also he has more control over what can happen

[queen gazelle]

Hate to say it

Density players also aren’t great at warfare

They don’t even subscribe to sword logic

[royal crow]

Fair

[queen gazelle]

Kds agents do tho

So they are just stronger

[coral gorge]

in reality you all forget one thing

scheaffer can survive without food and in a place full of nam-v

as such it is quite clear KSO agents have the power of god and anime on their side

and plotholes

[queen gazelle]

Okay is nam-v like actually confirmed to that deadly

Or…..

Are we guessing….

[coral gorge]

Virus kills you within 5 weeks

[queen gazelle]

Well then gtfo must be less than 5 weeks….

[coral gorge]

is said to spread through everything but vacum

[coral gorge]

my brian aint braining mind repeating that in english pls

ah

HSUs presumably reset/stall the timer

since they technically kill you

[queen gazelle]

K

Then 5 weeks of shaffer?

Being awake

[coral gorge]

Yeah thats the plothole

mfer just says „no”

[queen gazelle]

or

[coral gorge]

remember, nam-v cant legally kill you if you dont consent

[queen gazelle]

We just are wrong about the virus…

[coral gorge]

Would be p suprising given we have rather confirmed information about it

but yes that is the only other option that does not include a plothole

[queen gazelle]

Well unfortunately depending on the log of the kill time was really 5 weeks

Everyone should be inaccurate about the info.

Like idk man if something is that leathal

You don’t get testing on it

The world is over in 10 weeks

[coral gorge]

There is a log from WHO that gives it an infectivity rating of like 10 times that of covid or some shit

[queen gazelle]

okay but like

Who wasn’t that quick in the real world to categorize Covid

[coral gorge]

I mean

we know the world didnt die in 10 weeks

[queen gazelle]

yup

[coral gorge]

The countries collapsed „slowly”

[queen gazelle]

But then maybe that implies it might take
Longer

Than 5 weeks lol

[coral gorge]

there was enough time for NATO and the EU to kick the bucket before humanity went extinct

[coral gorge]

I mean, its not like everyone got infected instantly

[coral gorge]

the truth guy managed to outlast all of america

[queen gazelle]

the way your describe the infection makes it seem that way…

[coral gorge]

Then you misunderstood

garganta has this slight issue its crawling with sleepers (presumably) spewing nam-v everywhere

[solar nova]

It's still an alt version of an OG log.

[queen gazelle]

There we go

[coral gorge]

the outside world only has to deal with human hosts

[solar nova]

Again, this isn't an alt-specific issue.

[coral gorge]

who just infect normally

[queen gazelle]

presumably….

[eternal talon]

what? do you even remember the original r6ex logs? all of the KSOs are going into stasis. all of them. there is nobody else down there at this point, the war was lost

[eternal talon]

you literally said "I don't believe the alt specifies that Schaeffer KSOs themselves in KDS deep, while OG does."

[coral gorge]

sigh
Presumably evolution is correct. Do you agree with using the term „presumably” here?

[queen gazelle]

I do

But I think

[solar nova]

I'm talking of the fundamental point.

[queen gazelle]

It shows that we

Literally don’t know

[coral gorge]

Mfer

[solar nova]

No, I was not aware that Alt explicitly re-runs the plot hole.

[coral gorge]

we have substantial information backing this

[solar nova]

But 4 schaeffers isn't it.

[coral gorge]

we are as close to truth as we can when constrained by the video game

[eternal talon]

they nuked half of the complex with lasers? wut?

[queen gazelle]

Didn’t hit all of it

[solar nova]

A Schaeffer swap maybe, but unless you have any specific evidence for either it's simpler to take some alternative.

[coral gorge]

Probably cause flooding it would have this tiny issue of releasing nam-v into the ocean

but thats just a tiny issue who cares am i right

[queen gazelle]

true

[royal crow]

Its not like it can destroy the world or anything

Just tiny

[queen gazelle]

It actually is currently destroying all
Timelines

Across all multiverses

[coral gorge]

but also jish ffs
We are constrained by the video game, and the game has provided us with enough evidence to assume certain things.
Quite frankly if we were to be completely „accurate” then nothing we ever said that the devs didnt confirm (so 99% of the lore) cannot be stated as truth

[royal crow]

Just a tiny issue

Who cares

[queen gazelle]

Yeah that is what I mean. Any plot holes could just be assumed that our information is incorrect with bad sources

[eternal talon]

hm. interesting r8 log i hadn't noticed.

**Mambo Media Services
Science Weekly Inside
June 14th 2054

A global meta-analysis of the NAM-V incubation period and its effects
Cheng Zhu, Jarrod Brinn, Sean McNally, Chi Wai Ho, Boris Fokker

--- ABSTRACT ---
Background
In this study, we studied the incubation period of NAM-V, using studies collected globally from 96 countries. The incubation period is vital to our understanding of the NAM-V, and a crucial index of epidemiology in understanding the spread of the virus.

Methods
The included studies were published between the dates of March 3rd 2053 and July 18th 2054 in various medical databases including Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, Embase and the CMB Project. After obtaining a meta-analytic aggregate, a meta-regression was used to explore the sources of heterogeneity. The results of the studies were collated with 28,000 additional patients from Asia and Africa that were not otherwise included in any of the studies.

Results
A total of 5713 studies were searched, with 74 of those studies meeting the criteria for inclusion in the meta-analysis. From our analysis, the pooled mean incubation period of NAM-V was 18.0 days (62% confidence interval [CI] 16.8–19.7) globally. The incubation period varied with age (P = 0.03). However, the incubation appears to be affected by a "stall" in 46% of cases. The "stall" can last anywhere from 18 days to up to 12 months, with some patients still carrying the virus without symptoms. Patients who experienced a longer incubation period were statistically more likely to show signs of cellular mutation, though the cause of this is still unknown.

Conclusions
The incubation of NAM-V cannot be reliably quoted, and the causes of the "stall" behavior are not yet fully understood. Patients who test positive for NAM-V may not exhibit symptoms for an unknown period of time up to 12 months. The need for constant, repeated testing is required to limit the continued spread of the virus.**

[queen gazelle]

Unless everything we read in a log is true

[coral gorge]

not all, just those that have discovered it

[queen gazelle]

Crazy^

this is what I am saying thanks frosty

[coral gorge]

hm

curious

[queen gazelle]

now the time line actually just works?

Surely

[coral gorge]

do we have any set dates for ingame events @eternal talon

as in, start of R1 and end of R8

[eternal talon]

yet dauda says 85% of the subjects contracted the virus within a few hours. in 60F-056-HNK

also an r8 log

[coral gorge]

(basically can we assume all rundowns last less than 12 months)

[royal crow]

We just know the game takes place like 10 years after the inicial clusterfuck

[eternal talon]

@artek had an estimate, currently a little occupied atm

[coral gorge]

I mean, contracting and having it nuke your body are quite diffrent

[eternal talon]

many things to respond to at once

going down the chat one by one

[coral gorge]

fair

[royal crow]

Cubix

[coral gorge]

alex

[eternal talon]

**With so many mutations of NAM-V being created with each new host, there are potentially millions of strains of NAM-V that no longer require a parasite to transmit. This explains why Dr. Dauda's research shows such resilience in the virus. It evolves everywhere, in every way. This virus is an omnipotent force of nature.

The only method we have found of killing the virus is by stopping the biological functions of the host through hydrostasis (or death). Fortunately, the parasites have not yet found a way into the HSUs. However, after hydrostasis reinfection is possible. We continue to improve our sterilization and prophylaxis methods, but we are fighting a losing battle. I see no future for us if we do not seek the origin of these lifeforms and find an immune genome. If we are to survive NAM-V, we must turn to the nature that created it. Evolution has had millions of years to fight the virus. We have months.**

i feel like im going fucking crazy. i can't find the "5 weeks/little over a month" log for death i KNOW it exists. it is one of the news logs from outside garganta

[coral gorge]

is it maybe a Truth log?

[eternal talon]

2063 is generally speaking when the game takes place (date itself is given for r3), nam-v broke out in... march 18th, 2052. YTG-48A-GK3
with the two researchers ignoring quarantine

[eternal talon]

i dont think so.

some mambo media, or medical/hospital log.

[coral gorge]

Yeah but do we have any log for R8 then?

[eternal talon]

no, for gameplay only r8 is dated.

no end date for gameplay

no idea for how long our group has been going

or time between rundowns for that matter

[coral gorge]

Basically i wanted to see if we can maybe find out scheaffet just had the „stall” of nam-v for 12 months hence he survived

and then maybe his insanity came from cell mutation that began to occur

but that is impossible to check/prove without a date for R8

[eternal talon]

the main problem with it is as schaeffer says, he sealed the doors. he couldn't get them open again from the inside. this is the lockdown we have to clear in r5. even if he woke again, he would just still be stuck in that same room

[solar nova]

And 4 Schaeffers is still not a reasonable explanation of this.

[eternal talon]

warden didn't have access to that area, it was a dead zone like r7d2. we are sent there to get it access as a part of the "influx protocol"

[coral gorge]

wait, 4?

[solar nova]

It's also not clear at all that the lockdown Schaeffer experiences is one we encounter in the level.

[eternal talon]

i'm not saying it does, i don't have an answer for it

its a plot hole

[eternal talon]

its an audio log, he uses the same terminal we use and enters hydrostasis in the same room

the only other hsu vault we know of is in r7a1

and that isn't in DEEP

[queen gazelle]

2 to deal with og 2 to deal
With alt

[coral gorge]

i think i dont get it

[solar nova]

OG and Alt pre-KSO Schaeffer are two Schaeffers where there isn't a clear way out of KDS deep for them. In both, we encounter a different version of post-KSO Schaeffer before we go to KDS deep for the first time.

[eternal talon]

i'd opt to include both the original graph and the updated one as posiblities, not throw out the new one. i dont want to take a stance on it

thats what i was meaning

last night

[solar nova]

If you allege they are all different people to get past the plot hole, you need 4 Schaeffers

[coral gorge]

that sounds re*arded
But then again the writers did not seem to exhibit sanity so who the fuck knows

[queen gazelle]

That is the point

[eternal talon]

i'm saying "i have no fucking clue, its a plot hole, come to your own conclusions, this is the best i've got"

[solar nova]

The original should be thrown out.

It is highly speculative, and lacks clear support.

[eternal talon]

its a plot hole, among others. there is no clear support to begin with

[solar nova]

But if it is an actual plot hole.

It's best to just ignore it.

[queen gazelle]

as a writer I want the start of my story to have 4 world line merging at once

[solar nova]

It is a plot hole because pre-KSO and post-KSO Schaeffer is the same person in each timeline.

And so the new image most accurately depicts that.

[eternal talon]

i agree

[eternal talon]

eh, you've partially won me over, i just fear having the one graph leaning towards one possible truth could obfuscate the real issue to people. (rather than having both graphs together, then some added text explaining the problem)

i mean its not many who are going to take the time to translate the morse mid-run

[royal crow]

still trying to search function my way to it

[eternal talon]

add:

**The long-term effects of the virus are still unknown, but once you start to feel the tightening in your bones and the persistent hallucinations you will need medical supervision, or the end will be swift. Medical intervention is the only thing that can slow the decline. Even if the patient does manage to survive the initial onslaught of the virus, it will remain in their system and can strike again without warning. Once you are isolated with NAM-V, you stay isolated.

alias:int_server.1024_ciph.tier5.med_core/DLockwoodA074.flagged

Dean,

As requested, I have compiled the analysis of the affected subjects.

The subject's physiological changes do seem to be permanent. The ossification of the fibrous cartilage in both the spine and menisci appears to start at the brain stem and spreads rapidly, possibly due to the greater intercellular space offered. Attempts to slow the spread have so far been unsuccessful.

Affected subjects show signs of cognitive reduction within a few days, which accompanies the bent or stooped posture. They are able to continue menial work for several weeks, before succumbing to the pain and physical disability.

Opiates and derivatives ease the pain of the subjects, and we have been administering liberally as no other form of palliative care appears to work.

I have our entire cellular biology department working on this, but so far little progress has been made. Even after the parasite is removed, the viral load increases. We cannot stop the progress of the virus, and our only defense is SCBA Level A suits when in NAM-V hotspots. Even with this level of protection, the parasites are finding ways in.

Transition from initial diagnosis to cellular collapse takes approximately 5 weeks. We have yet to discover what happens thereafter. I will keep you posted.

We need more narcotics. Our stocks are running low.

full log ^ @coral gorge

[coral gorge]

@queen gazelle ^

it very much is said to be 5 weeks

and it doesnt get more concrete than this

[queen gazelle]

Stall

Is what I wanted

Not just you get virus you die

pretty simple made it clear

[coral gorge]

i mean that still happens
But i suppose i get your point

[queen gazelle]

I mean get the virus you die in 5 weeks compared to you die in 7 months

[coral gorge]

i just wish we had a date for R8 to check it

[queen gazelle]

Is very different

[coral gorge]

True, but tbf that does seem very weird they only in R8 told us that

[queen gazelle]

Almost like

They didn’t plan out the lore before

[coral gorge]

the writers suck

[queen gazelle]

They wrote it

[coral gorge]

nah i wanna say someone planned out all the lore for og up to R7

then ran out of ideas

[queen gazelle]

It is very clear

That they didn’t plan out r6

[coral gorge]

og r6?

[lone beacon]

isn't that the last log in the game?

[queen gazelle]

During early access

[coral gorge]

wait is it?

[queen gazelle]

Yeah og r6 was a new story line

[coral gorge]

It seemed pretty coherent tho, did it not?

[lone beacon]

I dunno I remember the last log talking about something along those lines

[queen gazelle]

No pre r6 doesn’t really have a narrative

[coral gorge]

i mean yeah

[lone beacon]

almost like it's implying the OG team is infected and bringing it into the clean dimension without knowing it

[queen gazelle]

not in any traditional sense

[coral gorge]

but story wise it worked decently well

[queen gazelle]

I mean I like r6 story

[coral gorge]

also didnt R4 already have something with morse code too

[queen gazelle]

Yeah but that isn’t a story

Like there is no initial incident

Until r6

[coral gorge]

i mean as in „they didnt plan it out”

cause i think for the most part they did

[queen gazelle]

they didn’t plan out post r6 before at least r5

[coral gorge]

only after R6 or R7 they started winging it

[queen gazelle]

R7 they realized they wanted to bring back old rundowns because they didn’t want to work on the game

[coral gorge]

hmmm possible
Kinda hard to tell since we got like no lore in first ogs

[queen gazelle]

Then wrote in timeline stuff

[coral gorge]

I will always wonder when and why the timeline idea showed up

[queen gazelle]

it was the worst choice when r7

[coral gorge]

i really wanna just think that whoever was the big lore brain ran out of ideas or left

[queen gazelle]

Had the best writing

so sad

[coral gorge]

tbf

R8 for all the wordline shenanigans

did have good writing

[queen gazelle]

Almost like character drama…. Is what makes good writing…..

[coral gorge]

i wish we got to see more of it

[coral gorge]

maybe in DoW

[royal crow]

GTFO is bad

Wrong chat

[eternal talon]

to even begin to attempt to piece together gtfo's lore takes true patience

[coral gorge]

My average AAA writing team doesnt care
GTFO writing team is just high.

[coral gorge]

skill issue

[queen gazelle]

Video games tend not to hire writers. Media analysis is quite poor for video gamers

[coral gorge]

True

[queen gazelle]

See gamer gate plus last of us 2

[eternal talon]

(then you look at something like Metro which was written collaboratively with its author)

[coral gorge]

but yknow what i mean by „writing team”

[queen gazelle]

And many more such cases

[royal crow]

Who needs writers when You have drugs

[coral gorge]

wait it was? Damn

[lone beacon]

gtfo lore to me is just 4 goofy guys fighting against silly zombies

[coral gorge]

why the fuck did they kill the west then

[queen gazelle]

Yeah but the rule doesn’t tend to be that the rule tends to be

Writers are shafted

[eternal talon]

makes the exceptions even more exceptional

Metro Exodus ending made me cry

[ashen sphinx]

It's perhaps also a matter of Writers having to work around the gameplay rather than the writing being the centerpiece and the gameplay works around it.

[queen gazelle]

Ding ding ding

Hole in one chat this is crazy

[eternal talon]

i think part of the problem comes from this one famous quote from the developers of doom

[royal crow]

"not that important"

💀

[queen gazelle]

Yeah

but like media is on the down slide right now anyways

[eternal talon]

i mean, they made motherf*cking DOOM, it worked for them, but generally speaking isn't good advice.
case in point, half life

[queen gazelle]

I love my Billy eillish music video drama

[coral gorge]

Do we count GTFO as media tho…?

[queen gazelle]

Yeah it does count as media

[royal crow]

Why is
mother
Fucking
Auto modded

[queen gazelle]

motherfuckers

[coral gorge]

skill issue

[queen gazelle]

crazy

[eternal talon]

for the past half decade, i've pretty much only played indie with a few notable exceptions.

[royal crow]

I been playing mostly PS3 games for the past 2 years

Lol

[queen gazelle]

Might have always been this way tho most stories didn’t stand any test of time through history

[coral gorge]

I mean, we are in an era of big companies minimising risks which sucke
So indie devs are left to make games with actual soul

[eternal talon]

ikr?

[lone beacon]

Undertale

the story in that game is like the most important thing lol

[queen gazelle]

But narrative games

[coral gorge]

Omg is that sans undertale

[royal crow]

Game end yourself

Thanks

[queen gazelle]

Is what remains of Edith finch a video game?

[lone beacon]

LOL

[queen gazelle]

no it is a serious question dumbass cat

because depending on your definition of video games a common one doesn’t include it

Which is quite odd

[coral gorge]

The fuck is what remains of edith finch
I feel like i know that from somewhere but dont know form where

[queen gazelle]

It is a walking simulator where you walk through the house and family of one Edith finch

And you learn how each one dies

[royal crow]

Yes it's a game

[queen gazelle]

I agree

but can you prove it

[lone beacon]

well yeah, walking simulators are a genre of games

[royal crow]

Yes

I can play it

[eternal talon]

Dear Esther was amazing. Still wakes the Deep is a fucking masterpiece.

[queen gazelle]

So is a pick your own digital adventure book a game

[royal crow]

Still wakes the deep ISNT a walking simulator

[coral gorge]

If its on my computer/other device and i can play it (which i define as: my actions affect the characters movement and etc) then yes

[royal crow]

Yeah

[eternal talon]

its story > gameplay, the antitheses of doom

[lone beacon]

but then we get into board or card games like Monopoly or UNO

[queen gazelle]

See some people wouldn’t agree there

[royal crow]

Still
That is not a walking simulator

[coral gorge]

glory to Lovecraft

[royal crow]

You actually need to do stuff in still wakes the deep

[coral gorge]

those are fucking board games
They are by definition not vide games unless they are ported into a device

[eternal talon]

fine, its a walking (and crouching and hiding) simulator.

[royal crow]

You are forgetting a quick time event simulator

[coral gorge]

GTFO then is a walking, crouching, hitting (on), shooting and running sim

=)

[eternal talon]

i don't care what you say, UNO isn't a fucking video game

[royal crow]

YOU HAVE UNO

[coral gorge]

In paper absolutely not

[royal crow]

god You just reminded me of that meme

[coral gorge]

digital? Well…

[queen gazelle]

But it is tho

[lone beacon]

oh yeah? Ubisoft would like to disagree

[loud urchin]

is online monopoly a videogame or is it simply a digitised version of a board game

[coral gorge]

Id say it defo uses the medium of a video game

[loud urchin]

is online D&D a videogame?

[royal crow]

Yes

Yes goat

[loud urchin]

then why can i not respawn

[eternal talon]

why don't I get to charge AAA prices then?

[coral gorge]

skill issue?

[lone beacon]

didn't get the respawn DLC

why does nobody want to buy the 10 daggers i looted off those goblins

What made the warden want to help us in the alt? Or did it have other reasons that we don’t know

[coral gorge]

most likely answer:
it realised what happened in the OG wordline and did not want to get fucked by scheaffer

thats basically the only real theory i think

[plush nest]

I forgot that they can kinda just talk to each other

[coral gorge]

i mean... we assume they can

it would make sense

[drowsy roost]

In the original timeline; Schaeffer and Henriksson are able to overcome The Warden's control of Biocom, giving them control over the prisoner's objective stack. Schaeffer never makes contact with The Collectors.

In the alternative timeline; Schaeffer engages with The Collectors, and it is implied, that he or The Collections are able to freely access BIOCOM and control the prisoner's objective stack. (It's implied in the logs, and pretty obvious in the game, that the The Collectors control Biocom.)

[plush nest]

i mean he does jsut not the best first impressions

[drowsy roost]

Ah yeah, we've seen the bodies of them around The Complex. I'd also assume they were a threat...

Warden control in Rundown 8.0 is a bit of a grey-area though. I wrote about it on the wiki: https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Inconsistencies_%26_Unanswered_Questions

[thick ridge]

The more I read about gtfo lore, the more it sounds like Aliens with extra steps

[cobalt mulch]

the true origin of the nam-v is the great unknown, if the collectors were sampling and collecting specimens from worlds with it, then crashing the ship full of it to our planet, leading to the end of humankind.. who made nam-v.

[eternal talon]

aliens 1986 is way better.

[eternal talon]

we don't know. the wording in Dauda's logs imply that it was created by the collectors, so some kind of bioweapon, but at the same time, other logs also talk as if they just discovered it.

The virus is remarkable. It appears to have been perfectly designed to infect...

We travel, We collect. Through the membranes. We collect the virus. The Collection is impure.

[cobalt mulch]

yep, the collectors mustve failed to contain it on the one ship that crashed here.. tuff luck for good old tellus 🙂

hope they had good entertainment to wait 60+ million years to start interacting with humanity..

some hive mind collective thing.. r8e1 "interaction with species deemed futile" .. ggh.

[eternal talon]

its possible the warden isn't biological, the one log with the collectors is the opposite of clear on all fronts. (it is the source of so many issues...)

***VOICE 1
Us? The Warden?

VOICE 2
No. The Warden is of us. This unit is of us.

VOICE 1
You control the Warden? Who are you?***

we don't have the faintest idea if any collectors survived within the ship, their natural lifespan even if they did, or anything really.

[cobalt mulch]

rings bells with enders game stuff, a hive mind setup, alltho in an unfathomable scale

ender antbugs were all tied to the queens and the queens were tied together

highly recommend the entire universe of books to everyone.. the harrison ford movie wasnt bad either albeit it took some unacceptable shortcuts

[thick ridge]

True. I don't think we could even begin to compare Aliens 1986

Have you played Remnant 2?

[eternal talon]

no.

[thick ridge]

There isn't much lore overlap, but 'The Collectors' concept is incredibly similar to an alien race from Remnant 2 whose mission is quite similar

I feel like I see a lot of inspo from Aliens '86 and similarity to remnant 2 in the lore

..or it's all coincidence 🙃

[eternal talon]

i've said before, you could've easily fooled me by saying this game was originally meant to be a colonial marines-type, but they couldn't get the license.

[thick ridge]

"DEMOCRACY!" with extra steps?

:p

[eternal talon]

not really a helldivers fan.

[thick ridge]

Welp, at least you know what i'm referencing

[eternal talon]

i just like turrets.

[thick ridge]

I love that part of the movie. Everything starts getting really good

I literally just watched it last night lol

[eternal talon]

it's a CRIME that it wasn't in the original cut, only in the director's.

[thick ridge]

No kidding? I didn't know that was directors cut only

I don't remember the theatrical well, but the directors cut was done very well

[eternal talon]

no sentries whatsoever in original. it just cut right from bishop entering the vents to the attack on operations through the ceiling iirc

who would've thought that it'd go on to have one of the best automated defense segments in all of entertainment history

[thick ridge]

Didn't they do an homage to that same scene later in the franchise?
EDIT: wait, no. I'm misremembering i think. I'm pretty sure I'm thinking of the theatrical vs directors

[eternal talon]

i have no idea, i haven't watched an alien movie since resurrection.

fool me once, shame on me (alien^3)
fool me twice, you aren't getting my money anymore. (resurrection)

alien peaked early as a franchise.

[thick ridge]

The future iterations of Aliens weren't amazing, but they're fun enough. I'd watch them if you're ever bored. Just don't watch AVP 2 or onward lol

[eternal talon]

i watched both avp movies. it's why i never watched Prometheus or covenant

[thick ridge]

Because they lost Sickgourney

[eternal talon]

they couldn't even manage a spinoff series

[coral gorge]

didnt remnant 2 release like… recently?

[royal crow]

GTFO is 100% Alien inspired

They even said it here

[thick ridge]

Sounds like plagiarism. Can't believe they'd admit that

your favorite games are 15 years old or older

Tales of Symphonia

The Original Dead Space

[eternal talon]

Haven't EA picked that corpse a couple times as of now? Be glad some of the best games still lie in their graves undisturbed

Idk
I only played the first one

I know theres a 2nd one but never really played it

[eternal talon]

When did dead space 3 release?

[royal crow]

2013

[eternal talon]

I coulda sworn there were two sequels, but maybe I'm remembering a comic or something and throwing it in

[eternal talon]

Checks out

[royal crow]

Mirrors Edge was a semi-big franchise

So yeah

Maybe

Also theres was a Mobile game

[gray bone]

Until the second installment flopped

Then it became an EA classic
By that I mean it's never to be seen or heard of again

Hello everyone! It's my first time writing on this discord as I only recently discovered it. I have two questions about the lore but first I want to make sure if I have to make it a spoiler warning or something (and how to do it) as I'm still not that used to how discord works. Thanks in advance.
PS. It's one question about the prisoners and one about the warden. Cheers!

[gray bone]

gtfo lore is allowed spoilers

So don't worry about that

Ask away... eventually
whenever you want

[viscid mantle]

Thank you for your time and answer! :D

So, for anyone who knows. When did we (prisoners) learn who or what the warden is? And when did we figure out about our alternate selves? If ever.
I started playing with a few friends a while back and know I can't stop plus I'm a sucker for good lore like this one :D!

[safe gale]

good luck log hunting for lore then

[raw terrace]

i dont think know what the warden is until u reach a log that says what the warden is, but they never mention it

so they could just be oblivious to it

[gray bone]

The prisoners never REALLY learn what the warden is
cause we only get told by schaffer, who is either insane or slightly distraught... there's plenty of lore though

Alternate selves only really pop up on r8, and the og team sort of knows about them at the start of the r8 from gunfire and other schaffer diag

Alt never knew though

[raw terrace]

we dont get told by schaeffer tho

what the warden is

just that we work for it

one of the schaeffers doesnt know either

[gray bone]

Sane schaffer does mention it slightly

But really, really slightly

[raw terrace]

it just says ur working for the warden

and then mentions they got records on the universe

[gray bone]

@eternal talon Our loremaster might be able to tell you
but he ain't around rn

Oh shit is this a ping again

goddamn it

[raw terrace]

smh

golden pinging everyone

[viscid mantle]

Oh wow, thanks! Everytime I think I'm close to "cracking" the case, there's always more that pop up. Man, my team kinda hates me since, I gotta admit, I'm that prisoners that's doing terminal work but most of the time they don't know I'm looking up logs before actually doing any neccesary commands lol

Thanks everyone for your help and time! :)

[raw terrace]

its okiii, if u have anymore doubts u can always come here n ask

:3

[gray bone]

I mean half of the lore isn't here anymore so good luck

[viscid mantle]

Maan... :( I guess for the very "complete" lore I'll have to look at a wiki then? And on here?

[royal crow]

the prisioners dont really know what the warden is
in fact we arent even sure

we know he is from collector's origin but thats it

[raw terrace]

the og logs r in the game, but for some dialogue u can find it on the wikiiiiii i believe_

[royal crow]

and alternate ourselves until half of R8 i supposed

[raw terrace]

would be only r6 dialogue tho i think

cuz r7s already in the game

and thats not alt

[raw terrace]

up until ||b3||

for absolute sure up until ||c2||

[viscid mantle]

Ah gotcha, alright, thank you!

Man it's been years since I've gotten my lore hunger satisfied up until I got this game. Love it to bits!

[royal crow]

sadly theres a ton of plot holes

a ton of them

[raw terrace]

still a cool story

i like it a lot :3

the image it like portrays its really funky

[viscid mantle]

Yea, I see that now but I'm still very in love with the lore. Like, I do really like all aspects of the game, but as said before, while my team is clearing rooms and finding loot I look at the map and realize I'm two three rooms behind cuz I got stuck in a terminal that had some logs lol

[raw terrace]

they can wait the r6d4 ending log will not read itself

:]

[viscid mantle]

Right!!? :D

[loud urchin]

have fun in r2b2 :)

[raw terrace]

teehee the 6 petabytes log

[viscid mantle]

Thank you, I can guarantee I will. My team on the other hand, well, I hope they can entertain themselves

Oh my favorite... I'm focused on a log and then snap back to reality by a scream from scouts and realize I'm several rooms behind and they are setting up defences, a quick silence and then they also realize, I'm as good as dead xD

[loud urchin]

you're no fun

read it for the experience, not the achievement progress :)

[raw terrace]

exactly

[lone beacon]

sorry I'm a GTFO player I can't read

[safe gale]

logs are one of the game aspects that i look at randomly whenever i feel like it, and when i do its fun

[lone beacon]

I just use a mod to occassionally read through them in the menu when idk what to do

[raw terrace]

i have listened to the og r6b1 dialogue an TON

its probs one of my favs in the entire game and to me the one with the best sound design by a mile

[lone beacon]

what's the OG R6B1 log you're talking about?

[raw terrace]

the teleport log

when u enter the mwp room

now its in r6c2 resource room

u kno, the "DAMMIT!!!, COMMS??? nothing! GOD DAMN IT"

[viscid mantle]

Fortunately for me, not only do I love lore and the experience of this game, but I'm also a completionist, so I guess will get that achievement regardless just by playing the way I already do? :D

So, no need to rush it I guess is what I'm saying :)

[loud urchin]

some logs you have to intentionally go out of your way to get

and yeah, no need to rush, take it as slow or fast as you want

[raw terrace]

in case that u need to check there is also websites that help u track the progress, like https://andocas.com/gtfo/log-tracker/

it helped me a ton

[viscid mantle]

Ohhhh! Thank you!! That will certainly help :D

[raw terrace]

:3

[lone beacon]

hope you have a fun time completing the game

[viscid mantle]

Thanks! So far I'm loving it and it looks like it will continue that way so, wish me luck! Hopefully one day I'll escape that forsaken place...

[lone beacon]

you never truly escape

[viscid mantle]

Idk why but that hit kinda deep, it could have several meanings but the escape part is the only part I don't look up since I wanna keep that as "treat" for the end. So imma just leave your message as is and not ask quetions ;) i'll just keep following orders from the crazy guy on the comms for now.

[lone beacon]

I'm not telling you shit regardless lmao

[viscid mantle]

lol

[eternal talon]

Alt//r6. The collectors say (through the conduit) the warden is a part or them. We dont know specifically if it was made by them or if it is just the last surviving collector.

We first encountered alternate versions of ourselves in alt//r6dx, but they were dead. We only encounter living versions of ourselves in r8.

[eternal talon]

You forget the alt//r6 conduit log. This is from the collectors themselves, talking to schaeffer.

[viscid mantle]

Thank you! :) another quick question, not so important but just for my curiosity, do we encounter other NPCs later in this game? Alive and/or dead?

[eternal talon]

It might be a pain because it isn't pinned anymore, but use the search function here to look up the "gtfo lore for dummies" document. It'd probably be easiest to search for the 📌 icon. Just ignore the timeline graph, that is outdated. The rest of the document is still good.

[viscid mantle]

Thank you very much.

[eternal talon]

Specifically the version posted by me and "updated with information gathered in r8" or something along those lines, I don't remember specifically what I wrote.

It's a very old document that's been updated as rundowns released throughout the years.

[eternal talon]

It's probably not worth a read... it's in the format of an excel spreadsheet. It just includes a metric fuckton of people, their IDs, their membrane IDs (which worldline they are from), and their status (alive, dead, etc)

[viscid mantle]

Ah alright, gotcha.

[eternal talon]

The log mostly exists just to prove that Insight (or warden) had/has knowledge of alternate worldline earths, and potentially communicated in the past.

[eternal talon]

Wow that genuinely sucks ass. It is COMPLETELY detached from where it was originally (the portal room where the log takes place). A damn shame.

I heard they just up and removed the c1 stokes intercom logs there... really mind boggling decision

[eternal talon]

truth is, the game was rigged from the start (nam-v).

[eternal talon]

Where are you in the game? It depends on when "later" is, such that I can give you an informative answer.

[raw terrace]

they removed all audio scans, people complained on repeated runs complained they slowed the pace and not everyone was interested

[viscid mantle]

One or two levels away from finishing R2 iirc

[eternal talon]

Bahhh humbug.

[eternal talon]

You will encounter (physically) the The Conduit, Dauda (3x), Woods (3x), Bishop (2x), Hackett (2x) Schaeffer (2x).

I'm not certain the exact number of our original crew, so consider those numbers a minimum value.

And by "encounter" I am not going to tell you if you encounter them alive, or dead.

[viscid mantle]

Oohhh alright, now I'm more excited! Thank you for your time and all the informative answers! :D

[royal crow]

What a bunch of idiots

[eternal talon]

bah humbug intensifies

[royal crow]

What a bunch of idiots intensifies

[eternal talon]

“Bah humbug” is an expression used to convey a critical or dismissive attitude towards something that others find enjoyable or entertaining.

The should have kept them. Audio playing doesn't slow down gameplay, genuinely a weird thing to say

[warped bloom]

tf

[eternal talon]

Hm?

[warped bloom]

i though t u said hamburger

[eternal talon]

I use a lot of vernacular.

[warped bloom]

i prefer using the mitochrondia

[loud urchin]

never go full Dickens mode (especially if you're american)

[eternal talon]

I write and speak with often big, extremely specific and often outdated words to get my point across as specifically as possible. Yes, I am autistic, why?

[loud urchin]

nobody ever should go full Dickens mode ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[eternal talon]

In other news, how the fuck am I supposed to collect beastmen of chaos if GW pulled every last model (and the rulebook for them) from their stores?

it's mad.

[eternal talon]

Anyway, if you have any questions about stuff in the doc or want clarification, feel free to ping me. I'll get back to you (and all the rest of the messages in chat) sooner or later.

OH! Don't look at the summaries for rundowns. Not just because it's spoilery, but also because the one for r8 is wrong, or at the very least one possible interpretation)

[raw terrace]

it did?

some scans were very long

[viscid mantle]

Thanks! :)

[eternal talon]

Wha? Since when does audio make scans progress slower?

[raw terrace]

u dont remember how some teamscans on r6c1 were longer?

[eternal talon]

Unless your implying in alt//r6 they just REDUCED THE CLASS OF ALARMS IN ALREADY ONE OF THE EASIEST RUNDOWNS EVER

[eternal talon]

No? Ogr6 was a long time ago.

And I didn't really even play through alt//r6 when it came out.

As of now, I've played OG1, OGR2, OGR3, OGR6, OGR7, ALT//R1, ALT//R2, R8

[raw terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsT4eplt8NA&t=16m40s

[eternal talon]

(I've played half of ALT//r3, but I've never finished it)

[raw terrace]

should be timestamped in the link

[eternal talon]

Is it wrong if I genuinely can't tell? It might be slightly slower. People must be really fucking impatient

[raw terrace]

no it does seem very slow- i mean with the fact is purple

it shows its not a normal team scan

and i believe this wasnt the only one and there were like 2 or 3 more

and sure for the first time is fine but then if u wanna play it again it sure

takes a while

its like the first scan in r8e1 except more long

[eternal talon]

Wait, why would you put a purple on a door with no enemies? The regression wouldn't even matter

[raw terrace]

its just the color

not an S

if it was an S it would be hexagonal

but well at least the r8 dialogues cut- cuz dumb- and the alt r6d1 is completely skippable

and the r7 ones dont slow u down

well the r8 doesnt either

[eternal talon]

The only thing I could think of, is if they wanted to make sure the audio was done before players could trigger the next one

But you can que audio in WWise

That's a non-issue

They didn't have to remove it, just standard-ify the doors

[raw terrace]

or make it so like alt r6d1 they come from the door and not universally i guess

[eternal talon]

You can't make audio like that universal, not without an OnDrop timer. It has to be linked to either entering a zone, opening a door, starting an alarm, finishing an alarm, interacting with a door (pointing your mouse at it), or on start/end of the objective

[raw terrace]

oh wait- misunderstood

no it wasnt to queue audios cuz

u tp before the next one i think

theres one there, 2 in the ending with a tp inbetween

[eternal talon]

So it'd cut off the audio, that'd be fine, and even thematic

If they wanted to stay and listen, they could

[eternal talon]

(Destination and other warps basically load you into entirely seperate levels)

[raw terrace]

there was just a number of ways- rlly i guess the only necessary audio to be cut was schaeffer

or maybs they rethought and considered random doctor talkin was weird

cuz where did the audio even come from
