sad

[eternal talon]

basically a completely gun to what i fell in love with back in 2019

[worn rivet]

Yeah one tank until all of a sudden it's not dying or they've just completed a hard room and nos they've got a tank to deal with and it wont fucking die not matter what they throw at it but it's not unkillable

Its a regular one scare the shit out of them

For once

[eternal talon]

pablo has over 9 million health. people treat him as less of a threat and more of an annoyance.

[worn rivet]

Okay who fuck is pablo

[eternal talon]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Immortal

Aliases
Pablo

its the community name for him. I don't know why.

[safe gale]

they love arbiterary names

what do some people call giants?

[eternal talon]

it is literally an unkillable tank

[eternal talon]

frank.

[worn rivet]

also make the room not stealth able and that it's a boss they have to kill will make them nigh unkillable like that one boss mother

[eternal talon]

the giant shooters are "chickens"

[safe gale]

ty!

[eternal talon]

there are a lot of community names

[worn rivet]

Except stronger

[safe gale]

that one makes sense considering their pose and having their hands chopped off like a cooked chicken

[worn rivet]

I'm totally not making notes for a dnd boss

[eternal talon]

at this point i don't think you can scare gtfo players.

at least not like OG rundowns.

people are too experienced.

[worn rivet]

Out of a gtfo enemy

[eternal talon]

myself included.

Yeah what's an experienced player on their first run of the mission going to do when ad they enter the door shuts behind them and a fight begins with tank with a shit ton of health huh

So beat it to death

Concept for a melee weapon just schaffers metal fucking pipe

[eternal talon]

did you see, recently some people MELEE ONLY'D THE KRAKEN

THE FUCKING KRAKEN

[worn rivet]

HOW DO YOU MELLE THE FUCKINF KRAKEN

ITS MILES A FUCKING WAY

ADDING ON THIS PIPE HAS A KILL COUNT OF UNKOWN

[eternal talon]

*at least two

[worn rivet]

THOSE ARE HENRIKSON, WARDEN THING , AND DEPENDING ON HOW YOU DO IT ALT SCHAFFER

[eternal talon]

there is no pipe in the drain, he did that doom guy style

[worn rivet]

CAUSE IF YOU LET IT PLAY OUT HE BEATS HIM TO DEATH

Oh shit didnt see that

Oh God that's brutal

Ir it could have been washed away

[eternal talon]

criminal record

[worn rivet]

Do we have a time for when r8 takes place

[eternal talon]

nope, only r3.

[worn rivet]

Okay cause was going to try to gauge how old he was at time of death

[eternal talon]

i mean you could estimate.

r3 was 06/18/63.

(june 18th 2063)

(yes, schaeffer is a zoomer alpha)

[worn rivet]

So doing maths I dont fucking know hes like 40 something god hes young are there any of these for the og or alt squads

[eternal talon]

Frank Bishop was born in Lambeth (2001) to Sam and Evie Bishop.

(nothing on dauda)

[worn rivet]

Well he was according to him unfortunately he got identity wiped also hes like 60 by r3

[eternal talon]

Hackett doesn't have an exact DOB... but we can get close. as of this news report on November 5th, 203~
The victim, a fourteen year old identified only as Cormac, was shot
through the neck. With no quick access to the island, the boy
succumbed to his injuries before help could arrive. Worse yet, the gun
that killed Cormac was fired by his twelve year old brother.
hackett was 12.

(we don't know for woods)

[worn rivet]

Hackett is like his early 40s by the time of r3

They're all in there 40s to 60s by r3 at least

So some of them are old as fuck

[eternal talon]

(if you are not including time spent in Hydrostasis)

you don't age in it, as you are dead.

mandatory hydrostasis is 2 years minimum before first deployment as a KSO

so subtract a minimum of 2 years

Bishop was forced to join legion in 2030

so years after that... are unknown

[worn rivet]

Bishops is at least 61 by r3 and Hackett is because of it saying 203- nothing it's not possible to say his age

[eternal talon]

but he would have aged more slowly as he'd spend considerable time under between missions

[worn rivet]

Cause its just be guess work even so

[eternal talon]

don't you mean at most?

[worn rivet]

Yeah I do because this doesn't include matter wave worldlines bull shit

[eternal talon]

(assuming at most, 2039)
39 - 12 = 27
63 (2063) - 27 - 36 years old maximum.

for hackett

[worn rivet]

Yeah but this doesn't include time he spent possibly with the matterwave projector in different worlines

[eternal talon]

given bishop doesn't look 60, i'm going to assume with hydrostasis time included, he's like in his mid 40s.

[eternal talon]

bishop spent two years on destination, we know that for sure.

we don't know if any of our other KSOs spent time on destination

[worn rivet]

Cause the difference in every worldlines speed of time shit gets weird with aging I presume

[safe gale]

is he the oldest prisoner in our squad?

[eternal talon]

it depends on the worldline. destination is faster, the jungle planet is slower.

[safe gale]

in either or both age and hydrostasis age

[eternal talon]

(for example)

[worn rivet]

Cause bullshit deus ex machina in the matterwave projector that's why

[eternal talon]

he would be

[worn rivet]

Right I'm going to go try to sleep because this chat I've just been talking for the past like 5 hours straight

[eternal talon]

hahaha.
good night.

[worn rivet]

And its 6:30 in the morning where I am

So theres no point oh well

[eternal talon]

UK?

[worn rivet]

Please dont use that as a way to somehow triangulate where I live you've all done batshit insane stuff and yes uk

[eternal talon]

haha, get time-zone'd

it was either the UK or a very specific set of six countries in africa

(or portugal)

since in spain and france it is 7:35

don't worry, i can't get more specific than that.

if you are up to it, there is still one mystery yet unsolved. The Collector audio log.

[worn rivet]

Hell yeah give me two days, 5 cups of coffe and is it on youtube

[eternal talon]

we've had access to this log for over a year and we've never managed to crack it.

if its an encoded image, or text, or anything.

[worn rivet]

So far there seems to be a bit of audio at the start and nothing else am I missing something

[eternal talon]

it reminds me of the bloop, but who the fuck knows.

dozens of us have tried to break it, with no results.

so, like, i literally can't tell you anything.

we don't got shit

it could be anything. it's unsolved

[worn rivet]

Is there anything else like this

[eternal talon]

nope, this is literally the last thing

every last inch of the game has been sorted through

[worn rivet]

Cause if its similar to the blooper has anyone tried doing something with thta

[eternal talon]

besides this damn log

^

[worn rivet]

Crossrefrencing, overlaying the two seeing if that does anything, uh shit when does this play by the way

[eternal talon]

it was just a generic log in a terminal, hidden in a corner of one of the early alt:// rundowns

either alt://r1 or alt://r2

[worn rivet]

From the attachment you sent it could be a incomplete arg

That has a connection to something I'm going to reach out to some people see what they think give me two minute

[eternal talon]

^ some more

[eternal talon]

idk about incomplete or anything, but it was just the log. like, you could go into the level right now and find the log and play it

if there were any other media around it, we would have found it by now.

the entirety of the log (i found the level btw, it is r1b2)

is this text, and the audio file

[safe gale]

even the researchers are confused

[worn rivet]

I've made some calls help should be coming if they are

Fulfilled for I shall at the very least try to give closure to this

[safe gale]

good luck, prisoner

[eternal talon]

i'm just giving you some forewarning, i wouldn't go into this thinking you can crack it... just that you could take a stab at it if you wanted.

we tried for a couple months years ago then gave up because nobody could figure it out

[worn rivet]

I'm not I've put it in the message essentially were making a stab at it

[eternal talon]

and that was with most of our dedicated crackhead lore-experts still being active

[worn rivet]

I'm taking the hardest stab I can at it I'll make an update if anyone gets back to me

And if I need help

[safe gale]

i wish i could listen to the log, but am in class

nothing interesting either, just trigonometry

wait am done with that

[worn rivet]

Its essentially nothing theres a blip of audio nothing much else

[safe gale]

am doing limits which is even more useless for this

imagine if its just a dying star or a black hole

[worn rivet]

From what I an hear

[safe gale]

the sound of a space objective deciding to be a dingus

[worn rivet]

Hah

[safe gale]

am trying to guess before hearing bc it has to be something outside of the box

if its not a message

[worn rivet]

The biggest troll is that this mysterious log is just nothing

[safe gale]

its likely

its often the case

[worn rivet]

I mean would be funny for 10chambers to do that

[safe gale]

it could be an incomplete puzzle

like being connected to other logs that never got implemnted

like maybe it was supposed to have to do something with R2

[eternal talon]

I hope not. There are many decisions the devs have made with the story over the years where it feels almost... leading, in a way.

Like, I would not even be remotely surprised if the devs at points made open ended logs so that they could make the community's analysis canon later on, even if they wouldn't admit to that.

Like, the devs used to actively monitor chat when we would dive deeply into these types of hunts.

[worn rivet]

I'm just doing a few things mainly about to make tea before I start have fun you lot

[eternal talon]

It doesn't help that they have refused to discuss the lore in Q/As.

[worn rivet]

Also do you know what software they used to analyse the spectrogran

[eternal talon]

No idea, I barely know how to use audacity and wwise.

I'm more book learned, than tech

[worn rivet]

He says in the message sonic visualizer going to have a crack at that

[eternal talon]

We also don't know for certain it is an image in the audio.

It could be just heavily distorted

[safe gale]

that makes sense, i have seen it before

its satisfying

[worn rivet]

hello so swapped to laptopp

[worn rivet]

hi

[eternal talon]

Hello.

[eternal talon]

I can tell because the first letter of each post is no longer automatically capitalized.

[safe gale]

xD

[worn rivet]

huh yeah

[eternal talon]

(I have also switched over to my phone, as it is quarter to midnight)

[worn rivet]

for me just turned 7:21 here about to start this

[eternal talon]

What happened to sleep lol

[safe gale]

bro napped

[eternal talon]

for twenty five seconds

[worn rivet]

you twats made me stay up for almost the entire night and i might have to go college in about 30 minutes depending on a few things so yeah

[eternal talon]

Hey, I just reply to everything that anybody posts in here. Not my fault you kept giving me stuff to reply to

[worn rivet]

huh yeah

[eternal talon]

I figured I'd send you that audio file and that'd be it, that it'd be there waiting for you later on

You didnt have to continue lol

Like an email left read

Not yet sorted

[safe gale]

am glad i slept for 5 hours today for uni

still feeling like garbage

but i slept

i know it could be significantly worse

[worn rivet]

with this audio file theres a low level sound that seems to peak near the middle and now continues really low through most of it wait theres like a really high peak at one point and and nothing else i think its a fluke

[eternal talon]

Or it's a split between two independent sections

[safe gale]

it could be just a signal

like it could just indicate that collectors exist or that they are

ya know

[worn rivet]

dead

[safe gale]

launching neutrons at the speed of light to kill 1 random guy from leaving thr facility

[eternal talon]

Well we already knew that

[worn rivet]

what when in the lore does this happen

[eternal talon]

Unironically the collectors did kinda do that

[safe gale]

yes, am saying this is simply the signal of the collectors doing that

i am genuinely thinking that this is it

[eternal talon]

What? No... I'm talking about the giant blast

With the lasers from the vessel

[safe gale]

well thats big explody

[eternal talon]

That obliterated the CEO's helicopter

[safe gale]

this could be just a small poke

from what i hear from you guys

i'll take a listen rn cuz i got a break

[eternal talon]

It's like the bloop

[worn rivet]

oh god if thats their definetion of small poke then whats a full on punch

[eternal talon]

It's a long ambient droning type noise

[eternal talon]

The blast?

You do know the temps recorded from that day were only ever theorized to have occurred during the big bang?

The blast was crazy

(On my phone now so can't link it. Sadge)

[worn rivet]

im sorry FUCKING WHAT they released temps that were theorized to have occurred during the big FUCKING bang

[safe gale]

i hear the bloop at the start and end, like its log start and end

[worn rivet]

yeah I think that's all the log is

unless it connects to something else

[safe gale]

well now i have listened to the log

the location is inside the facillity

so is it inside the giant rock from space?

[eternal talon]

This is really awkward to do on mobile... give me a moment

**Lock Block Cipher
alias:int_server.1024_ciph.tier5.med_core/GHammersteinB014.flagged

Dr Hammerstein,

The trace analysis on the residue found in the shafts after the October 12th event has been completed. It was mostly molten rock and metal, the composition of which confirms the blasts were high energy focused QGP streams, at a temperature that was only thought to have occurred during the Big Bang.

According to the BIOCOM navigation data supplied by Mr. Piros, the streams appear to have been deliberately targeted at areas where security operatives were engaged with the creatures during the attack. The QGP streams originated from the Inner but the creatures had by that point overrun much of Garganta, which is why we see such a wide spread of shafts across the facility.

Interestingly, none of the shafts created by the QGP streams caused flooding in the facility. The streams stopped short of the seabed, except for several shafts which penetrated the seabed within the perimeter of the sea walls, so no flooding occurred. This seems unlikely to be a coincidence. Unfortunately, one of the streams did hit the helipad outside hangar 3, which is where Mr Clinton was believed to be. His death would have been instantaneous. The results suggest this was a weapon. Whether it was aimed at us or the creatures is not clear, but it did turn the tide in our favor. Kovac drove the creatures back to the Inner shortly after the blasts (or the creatures retreated voluntarily – we only have a single Kovac report to go by and that paints them as the heroes of the October 12th event).

The trace analysis has left us with more questions than answers.

**

**1) Who or what fired the streams?

2. We have created quark-gluon plasma in hadron colliders, but nothing even close to this power or temperature, so how were the QGP streams formed? Is there a machine or artifact we have yet to find?

3. This level of exotic matter control is beyond our understanding of the physical laws of the universe, so how was the intensity of the sub-atomic streams controlled?

4. Was the purpose of the streams to kill us, or the creatures? It worked in our favor to control the onslaught, but we lost hundreds of people in the blasts (though some may have been lost or taken by the creatures).

5. If the purpose of the blasts were to kill the creatures, why? Does something else see them as a threat?

Nolan Connor B229**

There

Basically; hammerstein was conducting experiments in the vessel, playing different frequencies of sound to try and gauge a reaction from the sleepers.

One of these frequencies, caused this explosion.

This is what caused the holes that we enter the complex through.

[worn rivet]

huh if they could do this why not just hunt the source of the infection wipe that out and then cull every single universe where the infection were in would prevent them from murdering others

[eternal talon]

Dozens upon dozens of these beams instantly vaporizing thousands of meters of rock

Collector tech is scary.

(What do you expect from a Dyson sphere level civilization?)

[safe gale]

STELLARIS

[worn rivet]

yeah its gone to shit essantily

[eternal talon]

What?

[worn rivet]

cause they hit earht

earth

[safe gale]

the facility is built around the meteor right?

or is it inside of it

like mostly outside or is it mostly inside

[worn rivet]

its built on top of it they then drilled down to it

if i rember

[dusty tiger]

for a dyson sphere style civ I would half expect their doors to work smh

[eternal talon]

If it took until now for the vessel's Defenses to trigger, after all the collectors are dead, they probably aren't functioning correctly.

Else why did the collectors lose control of the outbreak on their ship and crash

Unless the weapons can only target outside the ship, then you have the same issue

They were fucked.

[safe gale]

thr collectors could be fixing their ship

or waiting for help to fix their ship

[worn rivet]

so theorie here could the warden and subsequently biocom be from some kind of collectors ai tech that they then reverse enginered to make it

[eternal talon]

There is no meteor.

It is a giant alien spaceship, called "the vessel", or "the egg".

The "inner" is the uppermost layer of the vessel, or at least that's what the humans call it

The vessel is 2km underground. Garganta is directly above it

[safe gale]

right

[eternal talon]

They built it because they thought it was a massive vein of iridium from a meteor, not the hull plating of a fucking spaceship on their scans

They were gonna make trillions.

Instead they made humanity go extinct

[worn rivet]

also going to have to go temperioly ofline for a short while

[eternal talon]

That too, the crash could have damaged it.

[eternal talon]

Wdym?

We've never been to the inner/vessel.

We don't know what it looks like inside. We only have vague descriptions

[safe gale]

didnt we find artifacts around the vessel}

[eternal talon]

The warden is considered part of the collectors by the conduit.

Weither that means it is an AI they made, or if it is a collector's consciousness, we don't know.

But all of the collectors that were part of the ship were infected.

[worn rivet]

could it be what the alt surviors, who didnt go into the hsus, go into for their last stand where they all die and presumably left it open for them to get out

[eternal talon]

Warden is the last "living" collector afik

[eternal talon]

Yes, well, not us, -- santonian did.

Likely from fragments of the ship that broke off in the crash, closer to the surface (but still super fucking deep)

[eternal talon]

Iirc yes they say they went to the inner. Perhaps the parasite had formed some kind of giant nest and queen there that they detected on their scanners.

But even so, the tunnels from the blast

They are open and lead all the way down

More paths for it to climb out and spread

[worn rivet]

it says in the log that there was a metric fuck ton of bio tracker pings down there

[eternal talon]

Well that is to be expected. The infected collectors, infected mayans, and all the different species the collectors had catalogued, now infected.

It's one huge ass hive

God knows what variants are down there that we've never seen before

What different infected species we've never seen before

[worn rivet]

could set up for some wierd kind of sequal

sequel

[eternal talon]

Like this thing

[eternal talon]

How would there be a sequel on earth? Who would we play as?

If it's on earth, I think a prequel is a million times more likely

Playing as KSOs during the fall

And hopefully, finally getting to see the inner

Maybe even playing as part of the expedition that went with hammerstein that caused the blasts

[worn rivet]

i mean one could not be on earth but we presumbably brought the virus/parasite with us into that universe we went to so we just have a wierd fighting game and another would be what youv'e said

cause some of that would be sick as fuck

[eternal talon]

Well if we brought nam-v with us to the jungle planet then we are just dead. No sleepers there to fight, either. It wouldn't be a game

There would be no gameplay

It'd be sitting in a hospital bed for 5 weeks waiting to die -- the game

(If you lasted that long)

[safe gale]

yeah

[worn rivet]

i mean like animal infectd we could see what those look like

[eternal talon]

If you wanna fight sleepers in a jungle environment, make it a PREEEEEEEEEQUEL, playing as the ancient mayans

[safe gale]

spearing the kraken part 2

[worn rivet]

oh my god that would be amazing

[eternal talon]

I mean they fought against them, and even came out with a draw! (Given life didn't go extinct back then)

Even modern humans couldn't do that! (We died)

[safe gale]

they didnt do terrible experiments

[eternal talon]

That's right. They just had waves of suicide missions into the caves that led to the ship to try and cut off the sleeper's access to the surface world

(Because if you went in and came back, congrats.. nam-v is now on the surface)

Gtfo is so fucking grimdark...

[safe gale]

well hearing and reading about this doesnt click in my brain

i cant experience things from reading

explains why i dont read books xP

[eternal talon]

I love books.

[safe gale]

i dont mind books for resources and studying tho

they do fine as scientific sfuff

but still, i would look out for the information i want rather than read the enrire thing

its prob a valid thing to do if you dont confirmation bias your ass

for researching i mean

[worn rivet]

Hi

Plink

[lilac island]

Hey man I need you to kill a tank and a shit load of giants with your bows and spears. We gotta do this to save humanity

Lore accurate mayans

[lone beacon]

plink

[worn rivet]

Plink

[lone beacon]

guessing you're from Spiff?

[lilac island]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-plink-cat-gif-1794292671885121408

[lone beacon]

you'd think there'd be an influx of players from Spiff's videos but not really

[lilac island]

I came back to the game because of spiff though

[coral gorge]

i think there was a bit off it

although maybe the final video will have a more noticeable one

also yknow, spiff taking almost a year to beat the final level may have deterred some people

[eternal talon]

Idk how to feel about it.

When Bricky covered the game, we had "bomb collars" for weeks.

Still have no idea where he got that idea.

Knowing what the end of e2 is...
We might have another such scenario

Of incorrect information being spread

As the ending especially relies on lore knowledge

Does spiff read the logs?

[lone beacon]

I forgot about that lol

[eternal talon]

Which one screenshot?

[coral gorge]

the one you dmed me, ||showing the warp gate and hsus ||

[coral gorge]

i mean, the bomb collars are... almost accurate? like i guess since bomb collars are a bit of a popular topic in prison games (i think), he just kinda assumed it

[eternal talon]

This one?

[lone beacon]

well it's more like the Warden saying "fuck you, you're stuck here until you complete the objective"

[eternal talon]

Wdym "almost accurate", we have no such thing

[coral gorge]

possibly, i think it was one of the data mined ones

[coral gorge]

the chips that make us obey the warden

if you only luck at the barebones its almost accurate

[eternal talon]

Well yeah but there is a pretty big difference between being a biological robot with no free will and being part of a slaver camp fallout 3 style

[coral gorge]

i think so? atleast a couple i believe

[lone beacon]

that too

[coral gorge]

ehhh thats just details, shut up

[lone beacon]

??

kinda rude

[royal crow]

That already happened

Lol

[eternal talon]

Esplain

[royal crow]

We had multiple people coming saying "what roles there is in this game" or "spear is the best melee"

Because

You know

[eternal talon]

Spear is arguably the worst melee because you can't sprint

And sprint jumping like a maniac is half of the combat cycle

[lone beacon]

it wouldn't even be that good with sprint

[coral gorge]

you wanna tell me spear + slug shotty + short rifle + shotgun sentry (rip shotgun sentry btw) isnt the meta loadout?

[coral gorge]

we embrace the mayan fighting style

[royal crow]

Hi hello hi hi hello cubix

No

[eternal talon]

Then where are the javelins and throwing spears?

[lone beacon]

"erm, what about burst pistol?" 🤓
(it's a decent weapon)

[worn rivet]

@lone beacon I left for a short time found spiffs videos and decided to do a second round but my original squads gone

Lost to the void of non connections

But I found a new one were on alt rundown 3 right now

[lone beacon]

like a lot of people that play this game

had a full squad, they lost interest in the game and then you play alone

[worn rivet]

Im currently trying get back in contact with the no luck so far

[worn rivet]

I agree

[eternal talon]

i don't think i've ever had a group. I just pubb'd even the hardest levels.

[lone beacon]

same

but I've heard it from many people

either they got their friends (or their friends got them) to buy the game, they played a few rounds and never touched it again

[eternal talon]

like, these were my OGr6 completions.
i just played a fuckton with pubs and "got good" enough to solo most encounters.

(and i am by no means an expert gameplay wise, some people have solo'd D tier levels without bots)

i think the farthest i got solo without bots was a C1.

[lone beacon]

the furthest I got was R1C1 :/

been stuck on R1C2

[loud urchin]

r1c2 sucks

[lone beacon]

yes

I even finished last scan and then died from the last few enemies

[loud urchin]

ya, i almost ran out of ammo shooting the last wave

[lone beacon]

I usually keep 1 or 2 mines on me so I can run to a door and mine it for the last enemies

kinda sucks to redo the last alarm over and over

[loud urchin]

mhm, level itself sucks in general

if nothing else i can warden mapper the PID spawns to avoid spending time on terminal but ugh

[lone beacon]

I know they got the idea for sentries and the bio from Aliens, but where'd they get mines and cfoam from?

cfoam seems like the foam from Prey

[eternal talon]

i don't think they've ever said.

in fact, i know they said they reget even making the mine deployer.

[lone beacon]

and not foam? lol

[eternal talon]

that explosives aren't something that should be in the game

[royal crow]

💀

At least it makes sense in the context of the game

A little

[eternal talon]

that now (ogr6 at the time), they wouldn't even consider adding anything like it

[lone beacon]

Scattergun

[eternal talon]

same goes for ranged stealth weapons and crossbows/silencers

[eternal talon]

C4 with a detonator would make more sense in context, tbh.

why the fuck would a mining company have tripmines in every other storage locker

[royal crow]

Maybe

[lone beacon]

isn't TNT usually used for excavation?

[royal crow]

Maybe someone made it or got it from somewhere else
If You are trapped in a place like the complex, mines would be a good defense weapon

Especially because theres a lot of halls and doors

Carlos,

Just wanted to let you know that the wares arrived today. Everything is in order.

Current Inventory control:

Zone 2: Foam test Lab 14 foam grenades 38 foam mines

Zone 3: Explosives test Lab 48 Tripmines

Zone 4: Medical Lab, 52 I2-LP Syringes 29 IIx drug Syrin=/xrg**

[proper ferry]

ah yes

48 explosive trip mines

🧠

[royal crow]

explosive test lab
There You go

test lab

[worn rivet]

Heres a weird thing on that does tha matterwave projector work with time or is it just dimension travel

[eternal talon]

(digsite and refinery tilesets would like to say hello)

(ah, yes, store explosives in your reactor rooms)

[royal crow]

It's a good idea

Maybe youll need to blow it up one day

[eternal talon]

https://tenor.com/view/reactor-rbwr-reactor-explodes-gif-8455581345930100726

[royal crow]

The matterwave is just a door to other dimensions

[eternal talon]

eh... technically it is also a teleporter.

[lone beacon]

how many reactors does Garganta have again?

[eternal talon]

it both changes your location in relative space and your frequency.

[royal crow]

Like a hundred maybe

[worn rivet]

Because if it's time travel it would essentially cause ridiculously weird story shit

[eternal talon]

given the fact we go from underground on earth, to destination in the butterfly nebula 3 light years away

[royal crow]

Its not time travel

[lone beacon]

R1C1, R1D1, R2D2, R3A3, R4B1, R4D1, R4E1, R5B1, R5D1, R5D2, R6D1, R6D3, R7E1, R8B4, R8E2

dass a lotta reactors

[royal crow]

Knowing how big garganta is

[eternal talon]

we don't have an exact number.

[worn rivet]

Is it confirmed or is it just a guess

[royal crow]

Its confirmed

[eternal talon]

fucking insanely massive.

[royal crow]

The matter Wave projector ITS NOT a time travel machine

[worn rivet]

Could be same reactors

[royal crow]

Yeah

I know that place

I can go there tomorrow

[eternal talon]

as far as we know its, not, its just that some of the worldlines it can travel to move slower or faster than others.

[royal crow]

🙏

[eternal talon]

i'm not big brain enough to determine if you can exploit that to go back in time (relative to your home dimension's current time)

i don't think so though, because slower or not, its all still moving forwards.

[eternal talon]

21°08'57"N 89°29'32"W

take pics! maybe 10cc left a box there or something

[worn rivet]

Are those the actual FUCKING cords to it

[eternal talon]

(/s)

[eternal talon]

yeah?

[worn rivet]

WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU ALL LEARN THAT

[royal crow]

We have an adress

Literally

It's in the lore

We know exactly where Garganta is

[worn rivet]

You have an actual address noted look into that

[lone beacon]

it's in the Chicxulub crater

[royal crow]

Oh hey
I know that city

[eternal talon]

the exact coords are on private property, down a road with a locked gate.

[worn rivet]

That now makes sense

[worn rivet]

What are the odds theres something in that place

Sounds like something 10 chambers would do

[eternal talon]

in all honesty? practically zero.

[worn rivet]

Yeah

[lone beacon]

100%

there's definitely something there

that exists

[eternal talon]

Pable is the only one of us that actually lives in Mexico

[royal crow]

Too bad i live in the other side of the country

[eternal talon]

-- and i'm not sure mexico's laws for tresspassing

[royal crow]

Fun fact: tresspassing is illegal

[eternal talon]

yes, as it is practially everywhere on earth

i meant severity

(i'm not asking you to break the law)

[royal crow]

[worn rivet]

Hm

[lone beacon]

(for legal reasons I cannot tell you to commit crime)

[coral gorge]

i have a great idea
We all make a server wide money collection „for charity”, use the money to buy the place and find out wether anythings there

[eternal talon]

that was a conversation we had once.

^

this conversation

[worn rivet]

Okay so your lots previous price was 150k so huh

We might be slightly fucked in that department

Also @eternal talon when did you sleep

Cause you've been active for like 24 hours at this poibt

[eternal talon]

no?

i went to bed after i posted "i love books"

that was at midnight yesterday, and my first message today was at 8AM

[worn rivet]

That's good

[worn rivet]

What's everyones most hated character mine is og schaffer or either of the daudas

Or alternatively whoever's the fuck runs the mine I've been told their name but I've forgotten

[raw terrace]

ermm :[

[eternal talon]

*that I know of.

[raw terrace]

i dont live near but :[

[worn rivet]

Pablo

[eternal talon]

Pable/Pablo, it's nicknames he has on the server

After r8 his nick has pretty much exclusively been the a2 password

(As it changes every week)

[worn rivet]

Hah rember him which is what my make tanks scary again turn out was me and that thing

[safe gale]

rip the guy that precursored hendrik

in R7A1 i think

[eternal talon]

"precursored"?

i dont know if that is a word

[safe gale]

its not

but its typical for me to invent new words

[eternal talon]

if you mean the KSO schaeffer woke before henrikkson, in r7a1, that is Maddox.

[safe gale]

yah!

[eternal talon]

schaeffer at the time didn't understand what he was doing, and woke him without administering hydrokinetic fluid.

he began to immediately suffer neural collapse, and attacked schaeffer as his brain rapidly decayed

[safe gale]

in B1 we grab it alongside the warden's objective

[eternal talon]

because schaeffer blocks our path, yes.

[safe gale]

i forgot what happens after we grab it, i believe some plot happened

[eternal talon]

after we give it to schaeffer, he uses it to wake Henri in c1

[safe gale]

as he said in R8 "i have control! i was the one opening the doors for you"

[safe gale]

i remember something goofy happening at the end of B1 but i supoose am misremembering

[eternal talon]

i don't know about that... i'm talking about r7 specifically right now, -- the og worldline

[safe gale]

shrug

[safe gale]

FuckUp.wav
beautiful name

[eternal talon]

i mean, if you've played the level you'd know exactly what i mean

there is a reason the warden dropped us in without any ammo or tool. it was supposed to be easy

[safe gale]

oh right

C3

hendrik needing emotional support

[eternal talon]

(these are all of the schaeffer/henri audio logs in r7 btw)

[safe gale]

i might listen to them later

or play C3 cuz thats more interesting than my 10kb/sec download speed

[eternal talon]

? on pc i can just click play, no need to download.

its embedded in discord

[safe gale]

they still take a while to load for me

[safe gale]

and am omw to uni again

i can prob just listen in breaktime again like yesterday

i wonder how the mysterious audio log decoding from yesterday is going

[eternal talon]

you can tell from these logs alone how absolutely insane OG schaeffer was compared to ALT://

our own psychopathic maniac

[safe gale]

i mean its a different schaffer after all, right?

[eternal talon]

compared to alt://? yeah.

this is our schaeffer, from the original worldline

[safe gale]

perhaps og schaeffer needed hydrokentic fluids

[eternal talon]

oh no he was woken correctly.

[safe gale]

rhe joke is that he's insane regardless

[eternal talon]

his squad was wiped out. the warden thought he died with the rest of them and never updated the stack.
eventually schaeffer wandered out of range and broke free.
he's been roaming down here ever since

he was in a four-man squad, like we are.

[safe gale]

resources expended moment?

[eternal talon]

(On my phone now so no more log links)

[safe gale]

rip

bedtime lore be like

i like to read frame data and lore before bed c:

not from same games

[eternal talon]

Hey, nothing is stopping you from going out and gathering the lore yourself. I can still point you in the right directions and give what I know from memory

It's funny, most other games' lore channels are nowhere near this 'matter-of-fact' and organized.

It's usually just always groups of people all equally clueless

[safe gale]

i mean i dont necessarily piece together a lot

but i enjoy getting know what we've been told by logs and such

[eternal talon]

Gtfo has a ridiculous amount of logs, something like 220+

(Including OG, ALT, Email, and SantonainIndustries)

Being an addict is practically mandatory too, as none of them are in order and are just randomly scattered.

Half of them even, don't come with dates

I couldn't imagine a solo trying to solve the ARG logs meant for the community as a whole to piece together

(Then there is the ambassador email logs that they can't even get unless they have a time machine...)

It's a lot.

[raw terrace]

funny my beloved <3
my fav dialogue of r7

WOUHMPP UNATHORIZED ACCESS DETECTED EXPLODES

[safe gale]

xD

[worn rivet]

Hey

I'm back

Went partly insane writing a lore document

[safe gale]

lol

how is it going?

[worn rivet]

Uh the hive lore document is fine but I've had to ask for help from a chat like 5 times

And the more I ask the more confused I get

[worn rivet]

Also quick question how does feallers/scouts work

In lore

[royal crow]

they extend their feelers looking for movement or unusual stuff

once they detect something they scream

and alert enemies

pretty much the same as they do ingame

[worn rivet]

Okay noted just wanted to know if it was something different

[coral gorge]

well lore wise the enemies dont spawn out of thin air and instead simply come from adjacent rooms but that should be rather obvious

[royal crow]

Enemies dont spawn from thin air? Fliers would like to talk to you

*technically they warp in from different places in the complex

[worn rivet]

Excuse the ping what the fuck is that

[royal crow]

Is that vergil?

[eternal talon]

at least somebody gets it

https://tenor.com/view/vergil-dance-fortnite-meme-foolishness-gif-14294871

[worn rivet]

Oh that's what it is

[royal crow]

I could recognize that face anywhere

[eternal talon]

hahahaha 100%

[royal crow]

Yes but they pretty much just poof into place

[eternal talon]

when the fliers warp in they have these cool... fx... i'm not sure the technical term.

white hole?

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_hole)

[worn rivet]

Just one minute their not there the next here they are

And is that something gtfo has just black hole stuff

[eternal talon]

no, i'm just trying to guess how the floaters local teleportation would work were it irl

i'm not a collector.

[worn rivet]

Huh makes sense

[eternal talon]

the obviously eat the crystals on destination, and the MWP has one of the crystals inside it

[worn rivet]

Okay @eternal talon if you have a link to some kind of thing about whatever this destination place is I would appreciate it

[eternal talon]

their backs are covered in the crystals

[eternal talon]

wdym "whatever it is"

[worn rivet]

I know it's a planet the problem I have is you mention alot of weird shit with it

And I'm confused

[eternal talon]

1: it is a planet near the center of the butterfly nebula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_6302)
2: it exists in a different worldline, one where time flows 85x faster innately.
3: it has very extreme weather, with sandstorms as high as mountains (pic included)
4: the only known flora are species of thistle and root (pictures included)
5: there is liquid water on the surface (picture included)
6: it either has an extremely reflective moon, or is in a binary system with both a yellow and a white dwarf (pics included)

the only known fauna on the planet is infected. Flora seems to be unaffected.

[worn rivet]

Okay thanks I've noted that down too

[coral gorge]

yummy

[lone beacon]

armored fliers do look a lot like the crystals

[worn rivet]

Right what's the most complicated thing you've all had to solve for the args

[solar nova]

Possibly the alien audio, because it if is an ARG nobody knows how to approach it to begin w/.

[worn rivet]

Wait there was alien audio

[solar nova]

Otherwise it was a string of numbers that wasn't too hard to solve iirc.

[eternal talon]

I already sent it to you

[eternal talon]

^

[worn rivet]

Oh yeah I I tryed and asked around for help havent got any answers but other than that what was the hardest

[eternal talon]

I'm not sure honestly.
Maybe either the Destination coordinates, or the stokes dog Goldie cipher.

[worn rivet]

Okay yeah the destination one seemed hard by what you've said but what is the stoaks Goldie cipher

[eternal talon]

I participated very little myself. Code breaking is beyond my skill set

[worn rivet]

Oh it was a code cipher

[eternal talon]

Iirc one of the logs leading up to either r7 or one of the alt// rundowns was between stokes and somebody... I forget, and it was encoded and it took a specific codeword (in this case, the name of their dog, Goldie) to solve

[worn rivet]

Oh that's cool in the lore and outside of the lore it makes sense why he had it that way

[eternal talon]

Iirc the person they were talking to was a relative, or a partner (I don't remember), and they were outside of garganta. The message was encoded to slip past KOVAC who was monitoring all ingoing and outgoing information

This was ~~ when the world was beginning to suffer heavily from the virus

(It was a long time ago, and I didn't participate in the cracking of that log at all, soz.)

Why aren't you writing to me? What's going on? I miss you terribly. Are they stopping you from talking to me? Are my emails getting through? I'm so worried. Things are bad out here. People infected everywhere. Houston is on full lockdown now - they have patrols out and they're curfewing by address so we can still go to the market - which are empty - once a week. Someone got shot outside Val-U-Plus last week. I don't think I have it but now they're saying the incubation period is unknown so I don't know. I can't go get tested because because I don't know anyone who has gone to a testing center and come back. They're saying they still don't know where it came from but they think maybe Phoenix. I think I have to tell them what we already but then that's me done with SMC and I think they'd try to kill me. Seriously, I wouldn't put anything past them. I don't know who I'd tell anyway? Maybe Jeremy knows someone in the press or something. I can't speak to anyone here because they're all terrified of Davies and his stoolies especially since Clinton's "accident". Please write me back. Please, just anything to let me know you're all right. I would come and get you but everything is closed. I feel so guilty that I encouraged you to go there. Howie

@worn rivet

[worn rivet]

What the hell by the looks of things shit was bad and only got worse in that mine of hell

And thatz with me knowing at the moment very little of the lore

[eternal talon]

quick question, have you read the "for dummies doccument"?

i don't know if i ever sent it to you

[worn rivet]

Yeah I read that yesterday even in that it sounded bad but this log makes it sound like utter shit

[eternal talon]

well, dystopias often sound worse from a first hand perspective.

rightfully so

from an outside viewpoint its hard to see the grease

[eternal talon]

**s I mentioned in our original discussion (I have attached the Hearsay recording for your review), the Santonian employee contract is very clear on the punishment for entering restricted areas. Kovac Defense Services have a comprehensive contract with both the Santonian Mining Company and the Mexican government that allows Kovac to establish martial law and "administrate punitive consequence" over any person within the exclusion zone. This is not just a company contract; it is national law.

All workers at Garganta and the surrounding area agree to these regulations when they sign their contract.**

**On July 28th, Igor Rostok C122, a Generalist Engineer, was shot and killed by a KSO for "entering a restricted area".

That is the full extent of the information Kovac gave me. They killed a Santonian employee, and all that I know is that he was "entering a restricted area". Andre Piros won't give me any more information.

I don't know who to turn to. One of our employees has been killed for walking into the wrong area, and no one here seems to care. I knew Igor personally, and he was a company man through and through. The fact that he could ever be seen as a threat by Kovac is nonsense, and in what world is it okay to execute a person on the spot for trespassing? As I write that I realize how insane it is.

I don't know what to do here Mr. Davies. I need help. Kovac are out of control. I can handle the Project Insight restrictions to a point, and understand the need for security, but this has just gone too far. **

---

**During the first week of August, MRT responded on-site to 32 incidents. Gaining access to the mines is challenging due to the recent increase in security measures. Since the second week of August the mines have been designated as an exclusion zone and are now under the direct control of Kovac's resource management system, BIOCOM. There are indications that dozens of incidents have not been reported, or at least that Kovac Defense Services have elected not to disclose to MRT.

Comparing the admissions data from the Medical Center with the official incident reports, it is clear that at least 114 incidents have occurred within BIOCOM controlled areas, all without any official report or further explanation. These incidents range from burns and broken bones to psychosis, hallucinations and suicide attempts. Without an official incident report, the MRT is forced to deal with patients without context or preparation. The victims are delivered to the nearest medical center, where they are treated without detailed information on how they experienced their trauma, other than the patient's own recollection.

The Medical Department has requested transparency from KDS, and demanded that they follow protocol with regards to incident reporting, but this demand is not being met. When Anders Johanson was asked for a direct response to the situation, he informed us that “KDS is a security firm. We decide what information is disseminated to which departments. Your job is to treat the wounded, not to analyze the battlefield. Patch them up and send them back.”**

**At this point, it is impossible for the MRT to prepare for emergencies if they are not made aware of the risks the mine workers face. The medical staff do not know when the exploration teams are setting out, what their destination is, or what environmental or pathogenic dangers they are facing. They have also been denied any data from the autopsy of the creatures Project Insight and Dr. Hammerstein has been collecting, despite the potential for the transmission of bacteria or viruses. KDS are now actively denying the existence of such creatures, despite several medical staff having had direct encounters with these creatures.

The medical department reports that they cannot do their job while working under the restrictions placed by the KDS. KDS are rewriting facts at their own discretion, and are quoting the primary BIOCOM directive when additional information is requested. KSO operatives who have been admitted to the trauma center do not speak to the medical staff, and when questioned offer no information on what is happening within the BIOCOM controlled exclusion zone. It is possible that they are as unaware of the primary objective set by the BIOCOM as the medical staff, and this analyst, are.

[worn rivet]

Isnt Igor the one who wrote one of the r8 logs qbout being concerned by how the workers were being treated

So they could have killed him for that

Subject: BIOCOM permissions

Marcus,

We've been having some issues with the BIOCOM interface in Overflow Vault 3. I'm seeing a lot of signal interference between the mainframe nexus point in the storage vault and the HSU dispersal bank. We have hundreds of HSUs throwing up signal degradation alerts (and I assume you're seeing the warnings on your end too).

I don't think it's a shielding issue. I think the run from the mainframe to the vault is just too long and I need to construct additional pylons. To gather the resources needed for an additional pylon I need approval from you of course.

I'm worried if we don't solve this issue we may end up with a failure cascade. These HSUs are all F/Infected classification so I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost the meat, but the freezers may come in handy someday - or at least we may end up needing them as Deep backups or organ donations etc.

Oh god damm I need to read more logs for the info

i can copy more snippets if you want

These are serious accusations, Mr. Bishop. For him to send you to a country on the brink of civil war, knowing full well that any foreigners in the city would almost certainly be killed?

That's exactly why he put me here! What I know would destroy him. Now I don't care if he destroyed my records, you look me up at the embassy, or you look up my visa paperwork, you'll see I'm not supposed to be here—

To be clear Mr. Bishop, there are no records of you. No records at all. Anywhere.
Bishop
Of course there are! I have a passport! Check the embassy!

There is no Frank Bishop, born in Lambeth in 2001 to Sam and Evie Bishop. There is no record that you joined SSIC as an intern in 2017—

What is this—

So he owns you too, does he?
Interviewer
There is no record of you being posted to Valencia. Nor is there a Frank Bishop listed among the missing or captured foreign workers.
Bishop
When I get out of here, and I will get out of here, I'm going to make you pay. You hear me?
Interviewer
Mr. Bishop, you don't exist. You never did. Guards!
Bishop
Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me! Let go of me you bastards!
Interviewer
This one's for the Legion.
Bishop
What is that? Let me go! No—
Interviewer
You have nothing to worry about Mr. Bishop. Your ordeal will be a distant memory soon enough. Interview stopped at 2100 hours. End recording.

**Gustavo,

Thanks for dealing with the Red Cross. They have been removed from the area
and we can get back to business. One thing - they didn’t get to Chicxulub,
and we have. Looks like your evac teams didn’t even touch this place. What do
you want us to do with the bodies? There’s a lot of them. Not sure what
killed them but our med team assures me it’s not toxins.

Let me know. We can burn them if you want.

Andrew.**

Burn them.

**Incident Description
During second shift (approximately 13:15) we hit a Cretasium vein which broke a tooth on the cutting head. We killed power to the mole, cleared Team 5 and called engineering. Engineering sent Jordy (E257) and Gus (E431) to replace the tooth. The work took 1 hour, during which time there were no indications of any issues from Jordy or Gus. I was supervising the work from cage 3, approximately 15 meters from the incident.

After replacing the tooth, Jordy cleared and Gus started the mole to check head alignment. When the mole reached full speed, Jordy turned to me, saluted, then walked directly into the cutting head. The teeth dragged him in and chopped him into pieces.

I then told Gus to cut the power. Medical arrived but there was nothing of Jordy left and I was told to write up this incident report.

The mole will need to be serviced and cleaned.

Actions taken after incident
Psych evals ordered for Gus Addison (E431) and Gianna Hilton (D043).**

**Hey Art,

Sorry I've been out of touch. Working. I never get to see you now as I'm always deep.

I checked the injured list and didn't see your name on it so I assume you're fine after the blasts. I'm sure you're wondering what happened. Gianna's team found a new natural chamber - only it wasn't natural. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to look inside it before Insight closed off the area.

They weren't telling me anything, and I was getting frustrated... then I remembered that Hearsay backdoor you told me about, so...

I had a listen to their comms. Sorry. I was careful. It won't come back to you.

I heard Insight sending in a probe to inspect the chamber. They found a few Sleepers then suddenly they lost signal with the probe. A few seconds later, the blast happened. I know you must have felt it. I thought the walls were going to collapse. Everything smelled like burning metal - which I didn't know was a smell until I smelled it.

We have literally no idea what caused the blast, or how it caused such destruction. Whatever it was originated from that chamber, or close to it. It killed a lot of the creatures (and a few of our people). To me, it looked deliberate. It was aimed at the creatures. We're finding dozens of molten passages and there's always a creature corpse nearby (if we find them before they disappear). We lost some people (including Harris if you haven't heard) but I think they were accidental. We weren't the target.

With Harris gone, I need a new pit boss. Interested?

Shafe.**

[worn rivet]

Huh these logs make Schaffer sound sane somewhat also I just now feel even worse for bishop

[eternal talon]

(this one is audio... idk why i just posted the text... gimme one sec...)

[worn rivet]

Huh listening now

Oh god it's a bishop log these are normally bad

[eternal talon]

well yeah? with this post, your practically begging for an even worse log to be posted

[worn rivet]

Oh god it sounds like hes being fucking tortured by someone

[eternal talon]

You should be proud; you are one of the Genesis Generation. Very special indeed.
Bishop's Prisoner ID is GO-1395

[worn rivet]

And his memories are slowly disappearing by the sounds of it

Oh that's where the g in gtfo come from

[eternal talon]

BISHOP, FRANK GO-1395
HACKETT, AIDEN O-4711
WOODS, ISAIAH F-2056
DAUDA, ABEO T-3701

gotfo

[worn rivet]

Also by that way of putting it down it spells goft

[worn rivet]

Oh good woodses one

[worn rivet]

Do they all have them

And hackette one

[eternal talon]

all except dauda

because dauda wasn't originally a KSO

as you know.

he just entered a unit, like schaeffer, and was automatically implanted with a chip

[worn rivet]

Oh that makes sense he was just in a hsu cause of the door thing which I tried to do the maths on

[eternal talon]

KSOification in general is an extremely fucked up process.

[worn rivet]

Yeah by the sounds of it it was

[eternal talon]

you need combat... its what you train for
hm.... why does that sound familiar...
henriksson?...

[eternal talon]

^

[worn rivet]

Just starting the hackett one

It's the same person from the bishop one

Doing it to him

[eternal talon]

1: you get kidnapped.
2: you get put into a hydrostasis unit for up to two years, with checkups every 6 months to ensure your memories are fully and completely erased.
3: you are implanted with a chip, connecting you to biocom and are injected with boosters to chemically modify you and enhance you.
4: you are released, nothing but a mindless drone of biocom, and returned to hydrostasis after every mission to wipe your memories once again

you don't even remember the missions you go on.

every level, we start in stasis. in the drop down.

[worn rivet]

Wait but how does our original crew break out of it eventually

To do what we do in r8e2

[eternal talon]

(memory degradation depends on how long you are under in hydrostasis)

[eternal talon]

we remove our chips in r8c3?

c4?

we EMP them.

sort of like what henri did, but his was surgically removed.

[worn rivet]

Okay yeah but how do we ignore schaffers orders in that one to stop

[eternal talon]

we short-circut and destroy ours

[eternal talon]

because under the warden, we have more free will than we did under biocom.

it is less... explicit with our instructions

if biocom was like:

1: take six steps forward.
2: disengage safety.
3: raise rifle
4: aim rifle at target.
5: pull trigger.
6: stop pulling trigger
etc etc

warden would be like:

1: go here
2: do this
3: go here and wait for the pod
4: enter the pod

its a much less tight leash

[worn rivet]

Okay I get it wait does this mean that the warden and biocom aren't the same I thought they were

[eternal talon]

if you compare bishop's audio from EF01 in R6B1, to how he behaves in-game under the control of the warden, it is completely different

[eternal talon]

no.

biocom is human-made.

the warden is a collector, or was made by the collectors

the warden hacked into biocom and took it over

thats why schaeffer can cut it out in r7d2/e1

(that and the collectors explicitly say that the warden is "of us")

[worn rivet]

Huh cause I thought it was also I'm getting off for a while unfortunately I'll read more into these things when i get back

[eternal talon]

and we know for a fact kovac made biocom, as they had to ship it in from the storage facility in belarus where it was previously set up

[royal crow]

More lore?

[eternal talon]

hm?

[worn rivet]

Hmm

Starting the r6c1 stokes log

Am starting the r6b1 audio log now

[worn rivet]

I need some help with understanding something

[royal crow]

what is it

[worn rivet]

How big is this fucking mine and how many fucking reactors does it have

[royal crow]

reactors we dont know

but i would say a lot

[worn rivet]

Okay doing quick mathe give me a second

[royal crow]

garganta is 3 Merida's wide

now do math

[worn rivet]

You know what I dont have a physics degree I can not work this out

[eternal talon]

bigger than new york.

like, you could see it very clearly from space.

gimme a sec to find the other pic i made

[worn rivet]

Like I've said I'm not got a physics degree I'm not figuring that amount of reactors out wait when we blow part of the facility up in r8e2 that would've caused a chain reaction of destruction

Cause of power thingys

[eternal talon]

here is that same line (length from center to outer edge) compared to the entire gulf of mexico

[worn rivet]

Oh shit yeah but that reactor in r8e2 would be detonating theoretically killing alot of sleepers at least they hypothecly ended alot of peoples suffering

[eternal talon]

oh no, not this conversation again...

[worn rivet]

Wait what conversation

[eternal talon]

it is impossible for a nuclear reactor to explode like a bomb.

the absolute maximum in terms of an explosion you can get is a steam explosion, ala Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi

[worn rivet]

Okay but hypothetically wouldn't the radiation kill alot of them over time also is the warden still active in r8

[eternal talon]

at fukushima

at chernobyl

[eternal talon]

no, because the complex is hundreds of meters underground. it would all be blocked by the surrounding rock.

why do you think reactors use lead (a mineral) as shielding?

[worn rivet]

Hmm yeah makes sense

[eternal talon]

in lead's case, it is because it is like, insanely stable and can't decay into anything dangerous.
but point still stands about the rock

the most dangerous part about the disasters, as i'm sure you know, are the radiation

radiation that spread through europe and japan (respectively) via winds.
there isn't wind underground

fun fact: chernobyl was never 'fixed', just contained.

that's what the elaphant's foot is.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant's_Foot_(Chernobyl)

[worn rivet]

Hmm so yeah dumb move from Schaffer for causing the nuclear meltdown

[eternal talon]

its the entire molten core, that has just melted its way through like six floors of the reactor building

[worn rivet]

Oh god and theres like 5 of those hypothetically in there

[eternal talon]

in addition,

Do you understand what he wants you to do? If you drain the reactor cooling tanks you will cause a nuclear meltdown.
this line is dumb as fuck, and clearly 10cc didn't know what they were talking about.

yeah, it will cause a meltdown, but removing the coolant makes an explosion impossible

all you'd have is a bunch of self-contained elaphant's foots burrowing down a dozen floors

hardly impactful for a complex the size that garganta is

[worn rivet]

Yeah I think it was just a reason for og Schaffer to kill alt Schaffer and then for us to kill og Schaffer

Or both at the same time if you type fast

Also that implys that og Schaffer can swing pretty fucking hard to if alt Schaffer couldn't stop him

And they're comparable in strength hypothetically

[eternal talon]

alt:// warden should be, og warden shouldn't.

worldline spaghetti and matter wave collapse means we can't say with certainty.

the answer i'd give is most likely

[worn rivet]

Okay

Thanks

[royal crow]

I feel like schaeffer plans was just to fuck KDS Deep
Which the R8 reactor was close to?

Idk

As You said it doesnt make sense

[eternal talon]

question though.

true or false: we disconnect the coolant in A/B tier while playing as OG?

[royal crow]

Maybe?

[lone beacon]

well yeah 'cuz otherwise ALT and OG R8 timeline don't happen

[eternal talon]

(my point is, the r8e2 reactor secondary is mandatory)

and its a startup iirc

[royal crow]

I have no clue how a nuclear reactor works

[eternal talon]

but anyway, why would the tank controls for that reactor far away enough as-so to be not in KDS-DEEP?

[eternal talon]

i will explain... gimme a sec

[lone beacon]

yes please

I'd like to build one

[royal crow]

Same

[eternal talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmIEI4ky-Zc
(this is an RBMK, but its the fundamentals)

(god i loved this mini-series)

[worn rivet]

Okay thanks adding that to the new teams lore document

[lone beacon]

ohhh I remember this

watched it with my brother

it was horrifying

[royal crow]

Ah

I already have seen it

Then i do know how they work

Kind off

[eternal talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDWuE5JmDc4

[worn rivet]

Do you wanna something really random that happens in the og and alt Schaffer meets eachother scene that made me breakout laughing

The random metal pipe falling sound

It's a really serious cutecene and then that plays

[royal crow]

Schaeffer can solo the GTFO universe with a metal pipe

[eternal talon]

reactor has uranium in the core.
control rods piss off the uranium. (not letting the uranium do what it wants to do)
you can adjust how much of the rods are in contact with the uranium at any given time, to help adjust the speed of the reaction.

you pump water into the core, both as a coolant, and for the next step.

the pissed off uranium boils the water, turning it into steam.

the steam turns a turbune, now you have power.

steam is cooled, and pumped back into the core.

**https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/extreme-reactors

this mod taught me the basics of nuclear reactors**

[lone beacon]

of course, a fucking Minecraft mod

[eternal talon]

if its stupid and it works, it isn't stupid

[lone beacon]

wait

that describes me

[eternal talon]

and i'm not kidding, this mod dumbed down reactors enough that i, as a teenager, could figure it out

[royal crow]

Your GTFO Media video tells me everything

[eternal talon]

like, it is literally THIS SIMPLE

[lone beacon]

😪

[eternal talon]

god, i haven't talked so much in this channel in almost half a year.
this is GREAT

[lone beacon]

we love yapping

[eternal talon]

What is this doc you keep referencing

[coral gorge]

You wanna tell me a nuclear reactor isnt like a nuclear bomb and it like… doesnt just explode and nuke everything? Nah, you are lying clearly nuclear reactors are super bad and uhhh like radioactive and uhhhh yknow scary!
||fuck anti-nuclear power idiots||

[worn rivet]

Hey so the document is for my new team I'm running with. We're currently in alt r3

So just complying lore stuff in one place

[worn rivet]

And its hard as hell

Also I need to read up on some of the schaffer lore

[lone beacon]

if the people operating it aren't stupid
that and making sure it's as safe as possible

[ashen sphinx]

This is for fission nuclear reactors

I dont know if GTFO specifies if the reactors they have use fission or fusion

Are we ever gonna see fusion? No idea but GTFO's set in the future.

[coral gorge]

i mean you'd assume most people who work at nuclear powerplants... have fucking trained to be there for quite a while. Plus im pretty sure most current day reactors have like 20 failsafes to shut the whole thing down in case of an emergency

[still ether]

he isn't even in r3 is he? what do you need his lore for?

[coral gorge]

in alt he is
i know there is defo a scheaffer log in alt R3D1, might be more that i dont remember

[ashen sphinx]

MSR reactors are VERY safe

[coral gorge]

i know thats the joke

[ashen sphinx]

But the US does not want anyone to use them because you could easily rig them to produce weapons-grade uranium IIRC

[coral gorge]

as if we didnt already have enough nukes to fucking glass the planet

[worn rivet]

Because I'm complying other things also into the doc

[still ether]

psh nonsense, the alt levels are direct replicas of the original rundowns 🙄

[eternal talon]

gameplay wise, that is mostly correct.
lore wise? not even remotely.

[still ether]

that can't be true. coming from someone who doesn't pay attention to most lore, it's a 1 to 1 translation between the og and remakes

[eternal talon]

the devs even say this in their announcement...
#game-announcements message

In an... interesting way. As usual, we don't want to spoil it for you as it's connected to elements of the story.

[eternal talon]

there are snatchers in r5

like, even gameplay wise it is different

[still ether]

always has been

[eternal talon]

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON HOW THEY BUTCHERED THE LEVELS. THEY LOOK NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINALS. I MISS THE OLD ENGINE SO MUCH...

[eternal talon]

ah, yes, the snatchers, released and promo'd during r7, first encountered in r7c1.
totally not trolling, are we?

[still ether]

not a gameplay thing, it was a 1.0 release thing 🙄

[eternal talon]

them butchering the lighting engine in r6 is the biggest tragedy of this game, shortly followed by the introduction of stamina and removal of side-dodging.

[still ether]

they only talked abt it in r7 bc they didn't wanna spoil ppl early in r5 (a lot of pple didn't see it bc those levels were so hard)

[eternal talon]

look at the top of your screen.

[still ether]

14% battery, thanks for the warning <3

[still ether]

and the yellow glowsticks

[eternal talon]

we used to have red, green, and orange!

[still ether]

gtfo-lore spoilers and the rest of the server spoilers are different

[still ether]

it's a shame we didn't get deep blue and pink glowsticks :(

I would eat up some pink glowsticks

[eternal talon]

to show how little spoilers matter here unless the person explicitly asks for them, in which case I usually don't show things, here is the end of the game.

-- Durant's Jungle Dimension

(unfortunatley I took the image during the fade-to-black, so its darker than it otherwise would be.)

at some point, i should probably get around to no-clipping through there to get pics.

[lone beacon]

I loved the introduction of Snatchers in R7C1

one of the most memorable moments for me

[eternal talon]

the corpses strewn everywhere, the giant shattered glass specimen case, the lights go dark, and the error alarm run to forward extraction.

[lone beacon]

and then your entire team yelling "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT??"

as someone gets dragged off

I miss when I barely knew anything about the game, good times

[eternal talon]

thats what OG r1/r2 feel like to me, pure nostalgia,

but when i look back at how the game looked back then, it genuinely looks better than it does now and it's bullshit

[lone beacon]

the music too

I think OG combat music is way better

[eternal talon]

(also, i just found this pic in my files, what the fuck am i hit-markering?)

[lone beacon]

something that's clipping through behind the wall probably

[eternal talon]

it was dark as shit.

and when it did have lights, they were always highly vibrant and contrasting with super dark shadows

[lone beacon]

https://youtu.be/JF80sIxGyqc?t=51

[lone beacon]

are there mods to bring back old lighting?

I actually didn't check

[eternal talon]

not that i know of.
its literally the engine

you can get close in the new engine with vibrancy and wetness settings, but its not the same.

you'd basically have tinker with every zone in the game (since they all have their own lightsettings)

or do so for your own custom levels/rundown

[lone beacon]

I do think base game looks too bright

I have a mod that reduces the brightness a bit

there is a mod here for OldSchoolGraphics

[eternal talon]

right, but do you know if it even works? a lot of mods, like, the majority, are outdated

[lone beacon]

but as you said, probably not the exact same

[eternal talon]

a lot of the older modders quit making/updating stuff

[lone beacon]

last updated today lol

a few minutes ago actually

[eternal talon]

where do you see that? both i see on thunderstore say last updated 10 months, and the other 2 years

[lone beacon]

from hirnukuono

I use r2mm

[eternal talon]

so do i, but when you update on r2mm you upload it to thunderstore

it says on r2mm last updated in january

what are you smoking lol

[lone beacon]

oh nvm I looked at last downloaded

I forget it shows you when you last downloaded it in the same spot

[plush nest]

i got some other ones if you want

[eternal talon]

go for it.

[plush nest]

That’s all of them that I got

[eternal talon]

the landscape picture is interesting.

is it all flat, or is there texture there?

[plush nest]

Hard to describe but it’s flat but trying to be textured if that makes sense. To a certain point it is normally texture and then just drops off

[eternal talon]

I know there is a label if you clip inside the frosted glass of one of the reactor models.
I don't remember if it says the type of reactor, or just the company name that manufactured it.
As far as I know, none of the logs mention the type of reactors garganta has.

[worn rivet]

hello

[eternal talon]

Howdy

[worn rivet]

does anyone know which mission in the alt rundowns the tanks appear in

[eternal talon]

Wdym the tanks?

As in, the enemy type?

They were added in rundown 4 iirc

Or do you mean r8 reactor coolant tanks

[royal crow]

R4C1

[worn rivet]

okay thanks it will be a while till we have to deal with them

[eternal talon]

Is that the solo tank room with 400 bodies, or the error alarm?

[royal crow]

i dont remember

R4E1 has the tank error

[worn rivet]

wait what theres a fucking room with 400 hundred bodys

[eternal talon]

You'll see it when you get there.
Practically piled to the ceiling

That tank went on a killing spree of the Neonates/Units

(Likely RISE units, not warden conduits)

[worn rivet]

oh god thats brutal

[eternal talon]

Imagine waking up from your hydrostasis unit with a couple dozen other guys with no weapons, no gear, no armor, and in doing so the claps of your unit opening and your HUUUUAAAAGHHHHH of taking your first breath post-awakening instantly hard wake a tank

Bodies be flying around the room

[royal crow]

just skill issue

[eternal talon]

That's basically the scene

Afterwards, the tank just... went back to sleep, and we find it standing in the middle of the carnage

[worn rivet]

oh

[lone beacon]

he was really tired and eepy afterwards

[coral gorge]

actually its neither, just a tank chilling in an empty room

somehow, „lore master” doesnt know all levels

[plush nest]

What level is this I don’t remember it?

[safe gale]

they know logs, not levels

[eternal talon]

I never played r4 or r5

The only info I have from it is other people's playthroughs, the tiles, and the logs

[safe gale]

my fav part about video games is not playing them

[royal crow]

tbf

most of R4 and R5 is bullshit

its just so fucking bullshit

[safe gale]

worst rundowns in the game

[eternal talon]

r4d2

[royal crow]

the only actual good levels are the E tiers

[safe gale]

yeah

[eternal talon]

to be fair, i stopped playing in OGr3 and came back in OGr6. i just never got around to playing the alt:// versions of them

i dont even think i finished alt://r3

[royal crow]

you are not missing much anyways

[safe gale]

well as mentioned youre not missing out on a lot

lol

[eternal talon]

@worn rivet
@plush nest

i found pictures

[safe gale]

legit i played at least 1 level that would be as short as R1A1 if not for secondary and overload

[plush nest]

Ah thank you, I’ll have to do that level cause I don’t remember it

[eternal talon]

now that i think about it, the real question is why didn't the tank infect them?

entering that zone and having a couple hundred sleepers AND a tank

[coral gorge]

can units even be infected?

[eternal talon]

i know conduits are invisible to the sleepers... somehow... but units shouldn't.

[coral gorge]

plus id assume getting mauled makes it pretty hard to becomr a sleeper

[eternal talon]

and if they were conduits... then the tank wouldn't have killed them

[coral gorge]

yeah i suppose so

[royal crow]

they seem pretty intact for me

[worn rivet]

yeah thats something isnt it

[still ether]

W ROOM VERY COOL

[worn rivet]

W PLINK POG

[worn rivet]

if anyone wants to hear it i got a really crackhead headcannon

[eternal talon]

go for it'

[eternal talon]

I'll either confirm it or tear it to shreds

[royal crow]

[worn rivet]

Right what if the warden was planned at one point to be voiced by the person who voices bain in payday 2 like I said crack head theorie

Because I can just imagine during the last mission him going "guys the data cube go get it"

That's the joke theorie the real one one I'm still putting back together

[raw terrace]

it was

but not for r8

only in pre-rundown 1

[lone beacon]

the Warden was planned to be a person (or the voice of the A.I.)?

first time hearing this

[worn rivet]

Huh and that's where the theorie came from

Ignore the atrocities that is my spelling with no autocorrecrt

And to the aithing yes

[lone beacon]

I think he'd have to do a ton of voice acting if it was for like every mission

I kinda understand why they didn't do that

[worn rivet]

But imagine how cool it would be

[lone beacon]

that and it kinda kills a bit of the mystery of the Warden (for people who don't know)

it'd either confirm that it was an A.I. or a person

[raw terrace]

yeah it was like supposed to say SUCCEED OR DIE

but got cut

teehee

[worn rivet]

hey so whats the weirdest thing thats in the lore other then the collectors

[royal crow]

that Bishop isnt the same Bishop from the original/alt worldline

[visual wraith]

schaeffer is bald

[worn rivet]

what

[worn rivet]

what do you mean by thus

[royal crow]

rememeber the Bishop that came from EF-01?
his equipment didnt match with the team they sent

which means

its another Bishop

[worn rivet]

oh god that makes sense also i dont know if ive done that one yet

[loud urchin]

the chimps and the shrimps
