gtfo-lore

[safe gale]

thats just

probably yandere

with a lead pipe

[tranquil sentinel]

my dream wife

[safe gale]

waiting on my gtfo roguelike

ngl that would be amazing

start with melee, each security door has shop terminal and you can potentially find weapons

and tools

and you still need to find rrsource packs

[eternal talon]

i should probably clarify;

^ thats probably a much closer comparison

[safe gale]

metro exodus is a game i think i have in my library and know nothing off

feels like a soft reminder for me to play it

well i'll roleplay as fenix from starcraft 1 and melee for 2 weeks straight

[eternal talon]

the metro franchise in general is extremely good.

like, easy 9/10s the whole way down

[safe gale]

in my mind its gonna be like bioshock infinite; the only bioshock game i played bc i struggled to launch the other previous ones lmao

[cedar adder]

uhh
i guess you're kinda cooked without guns in novosibirsk
in garganta you can at least stealth
and even tho there's no virus, you'll die of radiation poisoning anyway

[safe gale]

its gonna be 1 good playthrough but nothing that'll make me super pulled into playing again, so i'd try to enjoy my time as much as i can in my 1 playthrough

[eternal talon]

aren't there guns you can find scattered about in the dead city level?

or am i just misrememebering?

[cedar adder]

i guess
haven't played dlcs, i only vaguely remember it from the ending

[eternal talon]

bro even the bad ending is sad as shit, its genuinely great

[summer scroll]

nah man fuck the Exodus world

[eternal talon]

but if you die in gtfo due to nam-v, your corpse would bring it back to IRL

[summer scroll]

People would get to play GTFO irl

win-win for everyone

[eternal talon]

i will admit, they are both really shit choices

[eternal talon]

nah man, you need the parasite for sleepers. it'd just be Uber covid.

[summer scroll]

parasites will, will themselves into existence

☝🏻🤓

[worn rivet]

Quick adtion onto the Schaffer thing he also beat/overpowered alt Schaffer (a copy of himself) to death

Which is weird to say the least

[summer scroll]

Schaffer is him

[worn rivet]

Yeah agreed also he survived all that time in the complexe without becoming infected

Ignoring plot holes

[novel reef]

he found the disinfect storage room

[royal crow]

Bro was camping in there

[safe gale]

does this imply there is no disinfect in clean dimension

[eternal talon]

NAM-V is not the infection mechanic so irrelevant

See: wikichat conversation

[vast scaffold]

Wouldn't you most likely be stuck in HSU for the two weeks?

[eternal talon]

in the context of last night's poll?
you'd be dead when you return if you did.

in other news, the misinformation is spreading! 😠

[royal crow]

FUNGUS

HELL NAH

[eternal talon]

i left a comment.

[loud urchin]

i mean for shooter types i guess you could be forgiven for thinking whatever given the state of the pelvic region

[eternal talon]

the main issue for me is roanoke's removal of correcting information.

there can be no good argument for deleting comments pointing out how his gtfo videos are fundamentally flawed

yes, they were deleted. He responded to them only to delete the entire thread shortly thereafter

^

[lone beacon]

that's pretty cringe

[worn rivet]

Huh interesting stuff also ohh god those sleeper pictures look really weird

[coral gorge]

based
Silence the opposition, censor it all

who needs accurate info

when you can have

fungus

[worn rivet]

Huh yeah fungus Is actual bullshit idea causd if it was thered be signs of it growing

Around the complex

[heady yoke]

It just looks like moss or something

[tranquil sentinel]

did you collect those screenshots for research purposes 🤨??

[noble estuary]

I have a lore question. Why does everything in the facility need a bioscan and cause an alarm. And moreover, why do we as prisoners work for the bioscan

[royal crow]

1st: the facility is old so maybe everything is fucked (you can see this mostly on error alarms)
2nd: we are only KSO's we werent really any scientist or research presonel so technically we are not supposed to go in certain areas and we have to use the bioscans for like the door to "read" us as personel

there isnt any 100% lore explanation about bioscans at all

[noble estuary]

What are KSO’s?

[royal crow]

they are just there for gameplay purposes

[royal crow]

Kovac Security Operatives

we are brainwashed and memory wiped people that work for a massive corporation as enhanced guards/soldiers

that was prior to Garganta's fall

now we work for the warden

as a prisioner and resource to complete objectives for him

[noble estuary]

So are the subsurface transmissions we get when we go into a mission other people that the warden has “employed”?

[royal crow]

yup

its theorised other people went to the same mission and fucking died

then the warden decided to deploy us to get the job done

[noble estuary]

So Dauda, Hackett, and the other 2 idk their names are just really good at their jobs

[royal crow]

they are the "perfect squad"

lore wise we are the best of the best of millions of worldlines

[noble estuary]

What do you mean “worldlines”?

[royal crow]

shit

spoilers

[noble estuary]

Okay no tell then

[royal crow]

||this game has different worldlines (timelines, dimensions)||

[noble estuary]

Oh that’s not as bad as i thought

[royal crow]

||you can see how even other ourselves from other worldlines died in missions ||

[noble estuary]

That’s fuckin cool

[noble estuary]

So there’s Dauda, Hackett, Woods, and Bishop. Is “Player 1” anyone specific or can it be any of the 4?

[royal crow]

Player 1 (the host) is always Woods

Then it just goes in order with each player that joins

[noble estuary]

How do sleepers survive in the complex? Do they need to eat. Do they eat us?

How do they regain the energy they lost from fighting

[royal crow]

Virus + parasite = infinite energy

They complement each other and become inmortal

[noble estuary]

How is that energy produced though? It can’t come from nowhere

Also are our prisoners wearing gas masks? Or what are they

[royal crow]

pretty much yeah

i dont think breathing contaminated air 3000 meters below surface is good for your health

[noble estuary]

Yeah fair. I read in the first R1 log that being put back in hydrostasis killed the virus/parasite though. Unless I interpreted it wrong

[royal crow]

the HSU kills YOU

and kills the virus with you

you are revived once you leave the HSU

[noble estuary]

That’s…weird

I assumed the HSU suspended your vitals, making the virus go “ew what the fuck” and die

Didn’t know it fuckin killed you

[royal crow]

the more you know

[noble estuary]

God that makes the start of the missions even more fucked up

Its like an Eversor assassin from 40k. You get picked up out of stasis, immediately dropped into hell. And once you finish it, its like you blink and you’re back on another one

[royal crow]

mhm

thats what our characters experience

they cant really live or survive anywhere so they dont have much option

[noble estuary]

Is everything everywhere fucked? Like dead space?

[royal crow]

in ALT yeah

[noble estuary]

What do you mean in Alt?

[royal crow]

Alternate Worldline

[noble estuary]

Ah okay

[royal crow]

well OG is pretty much fucked too

but the parasite didnt got out of garganta

so they might still have a chance

[honest summit]

everywhere exept for one place...at least for now

[royal crow]

yeah we only know of one place thats safe

[noble estuary]

So even if the prisoners get out. They’re running or fighting for the rest of their lives

[royal crow]

the virus will kill them

[noble estuary]

That’s technically the rest of their lives

[royal crow]

theres no way to cure it or stop it

their next 5 miserable weeks of life

[noble estuary]

Before they become strikers

If thats how that works

[cedar adder]

hsu just might

[royal crow]

yeah but everything else is infected

the second you get out you are infected again

the virus is everywhere and there isnt a known way to stop it

[cedar adder]

not completely accurate
apparently you can still have dreams somehow, or at least nightmares in daudas case

[royal crow]

other than the vacuum of space

[noble estuary]

So Garganta is the planet the complex is on?

[gray bone]

No we're on earth

[royal crow]

Garganta is the name of the complex

[gray bone]

Everything is set on earth

[noble estuary]

Ah okay

[royal crow]

is located in Mexico

[noble estuary]

Oh

Oh fuck

Not mexico

[gray bone]

To paraphrase, garganta is the hole of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs

[royal crow]

in the Yucatan Peninsula

[noble estuary]

And we just decided to explore there and we found a fuckin space virus

[royal crow]

the Chicxulub crater*

[honest summit]

a alien ship with cool artifacts

[gray bone]

why did we explore it in the first place? Was it greed?

[noble estuary]

Probably

[gray bone]

Yeah the artifacts had the viruses

Someone touched it without 'adequate protection'

[royal crow]

there was a massive earthquake
and people found massive amount of minerals

[gray bone]

Got infected

[royal crow]

like 4 billion USD worth of materials

[gray bone]

Escaped into the world

And killed everyone

The end!

[royal crow]

Iridium i believe

[noble estuary]

Well i guess then there’s no more stories in the world of GTFO

[royal crow]

there is a lot of subplots

[gray bone]

Like schaffer and his bucket

[royal crow]

Mr Truth, Project insight, EF-01

[royal crow]

Daylight team

and others

[noble estuary]

As dark as it is, I would actually love a game in the world of GTFO where they actually are able to fight the virus

Or a story

[royal crow]

nah

one of the things i love of GTFO is how the virus is unstopable

thats what makes GTFO "scary"

[noble estuary]

Yeah fair

[honest summit]

a RTS from Warden perspective

[royal crow]

ok im down for that

i would love it

[noble estuary]

GTFO rts has the possibility to go HARD

Anything but a starcraft style rts. I really hate that formula

[gray bone]

To be fair we still have hendrickson and the pipe
he's still in gargantua

With his head wide open, but he could probably do something

[royal crow]

i mean

we never saw his body

so maybe

[gray bone]

We did

[noble estuary]

Man i cant wait to learn what the fuck you guys are talking about

[gray bone]

It's in R8B3

[royal crow]

we saw his ID

or was the body there too?

[gray bone]

No the body on the control panel or something

That's his
With a pipe

[royal crow]

damn

i completely missed that

[honest summit]

nah it was only a pipe with blood

[gray bone]

Oh rlly

Well he might not be dead after all then

[honest summit]

it was the id card on the box next to it

[gray bone]

Single player gtfo with hendrickson

[noble estuary]

I’ve actually been doing single player gtfo ||with the forbidden m word|| and its so fuckin fun

[gray bone]

That might actually go well considering hendrickson's skillset

[royal crow]

RTS from Henri perspective
leading a surviving rouge KDS members agaisnt the warden

[royal crow]

eh i feel like he would be more of like a master mind

not the guy that does the job but plans them

[honest summit]

a alt story where Alt shaeffer does R7 missions, without being a idiot and saving maddox

[gray bone]

maddox was just raving mad tho

Wasn't he?

[royal crow]

Schaeffer woke up Maddox the wrong way

his brain was being liquified

[noble estuary]

Honestly, if you were in the complex, you would be too

[royal crow]

so he went crazy

[gray bone]

Oh

[noble estuary]

FUCKIN WHAT?

[royal crow]

thats why in B1 he sends us to retrieve something

to wake up Henri the RIGHT way

[gray bone]

It would've been nice to have nice schaffer with the two of them

maddox hendrickson schaffer and the bucket

A nice squad

[royal crow]

yeah

schaeffer original plan was to use Maddox and Henrikson

we were like the 3rd party only

[honest summit]

bucket claptrap esc version of the warden lmao

[gray bone]

lol

also excalibird if you don't know what the bucket is try '.t bucket'

You WILL regret it but it'll be nice

[royal crow]

is the 2nd most powerful item in the GTFO universe

trust

[noble estuary]

in terminal?

[gray bone]

No here

[honest summit]

.t bucket

[ruby lake]

||This is my bucket. There are many like it, but this one is mine.||
||My bucket is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.||
||My bucket, without me, is useless. Without my bucket, I am useless. I must use my bucket true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will …||
||My bucket and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit….||
||My bucket is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my bucket clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ….||
||Before God, I swear this creed. My bucket and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life.||
||So be it, until victory and there is no enemy, but peace!!||

Oh come on

[honest summit]

[royal crow]

yes yes in terminal

[loud urchin]

[gray bone]

He should've done this

[royal crow]

.t lfg

[noble estuary]

How spoilery is it?

[ruby lake]

Hello! If you are unaware, we have Looking For Group (LFG) channels to help users group up and play the game. They are located here: #lfg-north-america / #lfg-latin-america / #lfg-eastern-europe / #lfg-western-europe / #lfg-asia / #lfg-oceania / #lfg-africa / #lfg-beginners / #lfg-middle-east.

If you are unsure of how to create or join a lobby, please see the instructions here: #how-to-matchmake.

[royal crow]

dumbass

[gray bone]

Not really spoilery

It's more of a shitpost than anything

[royal crow]

its just a meme

[honest summit]

nah he has to try Start maximum_security.exe instead

[noble estuary]

I’m afraid of what that does

[gray bone]

No
that would kill him

It starts one of the funny terminal alarms

[royal crow]

now that i think about it

i have never seen people actually use the commands

[noble estuary]

How so

[honest summit]

last update made them host only

[gray bone]

yeah because most people are good sports

[royal crow]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[gray bone]

And don't use it to troll people into Inifinte error alarms

[royal crow]

"guys R1A1 has an error alarm, trust"

[noble estuary]

In the server or on a terminal in game

[gray bone]

Term

[royal crow]

here

type in here

[honest summit]

leaves the lobby, joins back, loads in before anyone else, pulls the alarm door

[gray bone]

https://youtu.be/WLcof_vzsl4
For more context
One of the only useful professor scaler videos
(I'm kidding scaler videos are fine)

They're host only now

[royal crow]

thank god

[gray bone]

So please, PLEASE don't bait people into this

You do not know how many people have been chased away from this game because of these

[royal crow]

i remember people tying the Den of wolves command
and when you got in the terminal the fucking web page opened

[honest summit]

ngl would have been so much cooler if they just left it at that, and didnt add the giant aah button on the menu to constantly missclick onto

[loud urchin]

hey can you plug the reactor code i promise nothing bad will happen

[gray bone]

wdym?

[loud urchin]

a little bit of trolling

[gray bone]

no like what do you mean by plug the reactor code

Like try to cheese it?

[royal crow]

ah yes

type the 770 possible passwords

and see which one is right

[gray bone]

I love cheese

that and the list from reddit

[royal crow]

i love cheese as long as it isnt door bug flavour

[honest summit]

wait does failing the command locks you out of typing like while pinging?

[royal crow]

no?

wait

pinging locks you from typing?

since when

[honest summit]

would be so funny if you could write a script that will input all possible codes and then cls skip them

[honest summit]

since ever

[royal crow]

what the fuck

[gray bone]

It takes too long unless you're doing broken word ones
You can cheese with two or even one letters in relatively good time

Not under timers

If it's a dry password term it can work

[royal crow]

if you want to cheese 1 letters it has to be the last or the first one

2 letters is really easy

[honest summit]

for humen yes. but not if you type in 1000 wps

[royal crow]

okay im 100% sure someone already tried this in the GTFO community

[loud urchin]

i'm too busy code seraching or holding wave someone else needs to go to term

[royal crow]

i dont have proof but i feel it

[loud urchin]

refer to uplink skip

[royal crow]

see

someone already did it

[honest summit]

i remember it was a thing while the uplink codes were in the game logs, but after it got moved somewhere else the strat got outdated

[honest summit]

do we even have the actual list? i heard about it but never actually seen it

[royal crow]

yeah

hold a sec

[royal crow]

oh hey it sends it in a text file

cool

[honest summit]

thx. i will try to write the macro for that

[royal crow]

i sent it to dms

if you need

[honest summit]

ight thx

[eternal talon]

it does. video game logic.

[eternal talon]

more or less. OG is a dead wasteland on the surface; ALT:// has sleepers up there, so after a few thousand years it would inevitably turn into a copy of destination.

[royal crow]

hey OG still has a chance

maybe

no sleepers is good

[eternal talon]

greenland?
(plague inc reference)

[royal crow]

no virus likes greenland

[coral gorge]

god fuck greenland and cuba (in inc)

[royal crow]

plague inc? you mean COVID-19 SIMULATOR?

[coral gorge]

I mean your mother

[royal crow]

well that joke is 4 years old now

[royal crow]

hey cubix

hi hello hi hello hai

:3

[eternal talon]

*the city-sized complex built IN the hole of the meteor that killed the dinosaurs

[royal crow]

its THE FUCKING CHICXULUB CRATER

get it RIGHT

[coral gorge]

game end yourself

[coral gorge]

the what now

is it a british colony?

[lone beacon]

keep yourself safe

[eternal talon]

not really. Santonian thought it was just a meteor, and that it had trillions of $$$ worth of iridium, a rare mineral.

[royal crow]

where the meteorite that killed the dinnosaurs fell

[eternal talon]

instead they found a fucking spaceship

[coral gorge]

So a british colony?

[royal crow]

ur mom is a british colony

(insert really offensive joke about ur mom birthing regarded people)

[coral gorge]

no u

[eternal talon]

i don't know that the artifacts had them, but by proximity they might have. Insight quarantined the entire chamber the artifacts were found in. Two scientists ignoring this quarantine is what caused the earth outbreak.

[royal crow]

the entire ship might as well be infected at that point

[eternal talon]

you would love to read into the ancient mayans then.

[eternal talon]

*unless you are a 16th century mayan, i guess

[bright sphinx]

You think there all still anti-vaxers in gtfoland

[eternal talon]

done sloppy style

[eternal talon]

hahahahaha, its true.

[noble estuary]

Frostty rn

[coral gorge]

this is just frosty every single time theres a lore convo

[noble estuary]

I love it, i’m glad they’re around

[worn rivet]

Hmm

[noble estuary]

So what are we doing

Why does the warden keep sending us on these suicide missions

What are they trying to achieve

[gray bone]

frostty can tell you

frostty?

[worn rivet]

Hmm I dont actually know lore master frostty will probably know

[gray bone]

it's a really, really long convo

So best let her do it

[worn rivet]

MY MESSAGE IS THAT THIS GAMES LORE IS FUCKING AWESOME

AND DARK AS ALL THE NINE HELLS

COMBINED

[noble estuary]

What are the rundowns in lore?

Like, i remember the game used to be that rundowns only appeared 1 at a time

[coral gorge]

rundowns are basically just... a set of missions done in one sector

that usually culminate in achieving some bigger goal for the warden

[royal crow]

Rundown 1: get access to rundown 2
Rundown 2: retrieve neonate HSU
Rundown 3: Get neonate ready
Rundown 4: Lift lockdown to rundown 5
Rundown 5: Get to KDS Deep and get more prisooners

[coral gorge]

wow

[royal crow]

Rundown 6: explore Destination

Rundown 7: Schaeffer revolution (OG)

Rundown 8: Escape to a clean worldline

[coral gorge]

and R8 is redacted

ALEX

SPOILERS

[royal crow]

Too bad so sad

Lore chat

[coral gorge]

wow deepshit is automodded?

holy fuck

1984

[royal crow]

I'm going to put something deep on you

[coral gorge]

krill yourself

[noble estuary]

This turned really gay really fast and i’m here for it

[coral gorge]

blame alex

[royal crow]

blame Cubix

[worn rivet]

RIGHT WHY ARE PEOPLE TELLING EACHOTHER TO KRILL THEMSELVES

[royal crow]

Anyways @noble estuary i sent it above

[coral gorge]

cause why not

[royal crow]

A small explanation

[worn rivet]

MIND YOUR GOD DAMM GIVEN MANNERS

[coral gorge]

my manners is racism and insulting people

so what now

[noble estuary]

My biggest wonder is why were the rundowns only available one at a time initially?

[royal crow]

FOMO

[noble estuary]

Just game reasons?

[royal crow]

Get more people to play

[worn rivet]

CHAOTIC HELLFIRE TIME

[royal crow]

"oh no this wont be available, let me play it right now"

[worn rivet]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAH

[coral gorge]

just game devs being game devs

[noble estuary]

Glad they made them all available then

[royal crow]

Honestly a really regarded decision

Idk why they thought it was a good idea

But now they are back

Yipeeeeee

[coral gorge]

tbh i could see it working like at the beginning of early access, as they could have been unsure of how the levels were actually supposed to go and etc, but as soon as the game got through that they really should have stopped immieadietly

like when og r4 or r5 released, they should have stopped removing them

[gray bone]

Who's alex?

I thought pablo was just pablo

[coral gorge]

pablo is pablex

which is alex

[royal crow]

Pablex
Alex + Pablo

[safe gale]

like starcraft archon?

[coral gorge]

who starcrafting their archon right now?

[royal crow]

What the fuck

[noble estuary]

How do the sleepers know where we are when they get alerted?

Cause strikers don’t have eyes

And shooters just have fuckin skin tags on their face

Can’t be scent cause they’d be alerted by more than movement when stealthing. Can’t be just hearing cause otherwise we’d be able to hide when alarms start.

The explanation is probably just “idk cause we need to fight them”

[safe gale]

ehat about nightmares lul

[noble estuary]

I have yet to encounter nightmares so idk

[safe gale]

i mean there is lots of living creatures that dont use eyesight

its a plausable explaination on why they are stealthable

they are asleep so they are not as aware to motion

[bright sphinx]

Echolocation

[noble estuary]

They do scream a lot

[bright sphinx]

Idk my best guess would be that or some random alien shit like detecting heat signatures

[safe gale]

therr is actually lots of ways to sense surroundings

albeit most are seen in smaller creatures and sometimes spores and plants

[noble estuary]

Sleepers are plants. This is now canon

[safe gale]

mc creepers are planta

[bright sphinx]

The cave walls speak chlorophyl

[safe gale]

real

[noble estuary]

The walls are snitching on us

[safe gale]

R8A2 secondary walls real?

[bright sphinx]

First we had the trees speak vietnamese, then the trees speak binary, and now the cave walls speak chlorophyl

What's next the dunes speak glorp zorp zeebo

[safe gale]

i'd like to imagine the infection giving off hallucinations

[noble estuary]

My gtfo headcanon is that we’re actually kids with overactive imaginations fighting dandelions in the backyard

[bright sphinx]

Bishop wake the fuck up its time for scool

Wakey wakey

[safe gale]

for me i get goosebumps when i realize that am just a prisoner sent to basically my death to do someone else's bidding ( the warden in this case ) and i am highly suspectable to taking fatal and painful life taking injuries

[visual wraith]

cube ur literally cube

🗿

[safe gale]

am real

how's uni going

[bright sphinx]

Are we even getting paid

[visual wraith]

back alr

was fine

[bright sphinx]

Im never showing up to work again zawg

[visual wraith]

i copied my friend writings hehehehe

[safe gale]

we're fucking prisoners, they want us to be gone ajd forgotten

hell we're already gone and forgotten

[safe gale]

lol

[visual wraith]

i had like a test or smth

so yea

[safe gale]

at least in the context of one of the characters

[visual wraith]

now i wanna play gtfo for 6 hours

[noble estuary]

What would we spend our money on? We’re taken out of stasis, dropped into hell. Then once we’re done, we blink and its happening all over again

[bright sphinx]

Beer

[safe gale]

tomrorow i got writing and speaking test, but afterwards am done with uni this week

[visual wraith]

soreal

[safe gale]

as we have weekly exam on thursday and thats it

[noble estuary]

Real asf

[visual wraith]

gzgz

[lone beacon]

beer tastes like shit

[bright sphinx]

Kill

Oh boy

[safe gale]

without even realizing it

[bright sphinx]

The fire inside of me burns

[visual wraith]

team cube can we pub like rn rn

please

🙏

[safe gale]

i always get full gradea cuz its basic english

even when i get paranoid of the speaking cuz i have to do specific script answers, on stage ( sitting alone infront of the teacher ) i am 100% confident and do no errors

i find it wack but at the same time love how confident i am with this sort of stuff

i wanna do more presentations about stupid and interesting things but i cant yet

[visual wraith]

i hate attention

kinda

[safe gale]

i actually have to make and submit math presentation before last week am p aure

takes 15 mins to look up ( or chatgpt cuz chatgpt ) then put into dozen or so slides but man am so not gonna remember

[eternal talon]

we don't know specifics.
R1 is a mystery.
R2 is a mystery until e1, where we collect the neonate for use in r3.
R3 is processing the neonate.
R4 is a mystery.
R5 is preparing for and executing the influx protocol in KDS-DEEP.
R6 is collecting the MWP & Data cubes, then collecting the "Genome Database".
R7 is the warden fighting against schaeffer's active rebellion. (OG worldline only)
R8 is a mess. 🍝

[eternal talon]

yeah, pretty much just fomo reasons.

[eternal talon]

*regarded?

[royal crow]

retar

Ded

[eternal talon]

I also call him pable.

[gray bone]

In both technical and literary terms, this game is like spagetti
It gets really fqing messy

[eternal talon]

oh, does it discord block the message?

[royal crow]

Yeah

[noble estuary]

How long do you think it took Dauda, Hackett, Bishop, and Woods to go all the way from R1 through R8. Like how many days, weeks, or months do you think it was from first awakening to end of R8

[royal crow]

A week at most

[gray bone]

Like realisitcally, with HSU time or in lore?

[royal crow]

Lets Say every mission takes 1 hourish
83 missions
Around 5-6 days
(Outside HSU)

[eternal talon]

game reasons.
also they do have eyes, don't they?
i know tanks and snatchers do.

[royal crow]

We don't know how much time they spent inside sleeping

[gray bone]

GTFO percent does it in under a day

[royal crow]

Lore acurrate perfect team

[gray bone]

So HSU detox is the main concern

[eternal talon]

edit: so do chargers

[gray bone]

Charger heads ew

[royal crow]

omg so cute

[eternal talon]

nope, just tortured humans being puppeted by parasitic ticks.

[noble estuary]

Potato tomato

[eternal talon]

(they are still alive)

[royal crow]

We do have a Potato enemy

[gray bone]

Isn't a tank basically a potato

[royal crow]

A Tank is a Tank

The Potato is a Potato

[noble estuary]

So the human inside the enemies are still conscious and just in incredible pain from everything they’re put through

[eternal talon]

we don't know. Personally, I'd say a number of months, but it depends on how long the warden keeps us in hydrostasis between missions.

[eternal talon]

not including HSU time, yeah, probably 1-2 weeks. NAM-V would kill us within 5.

[royal crow]

We have 3-4 weeks to live

Fun

[eternal talon]

depending on how much of the brain is left to percieve it, yes.

something like a striker would have very little.

a snatcher, a lot.

[royal crow]

"Cover me guys i need to take a screenshot"

[eternal talon]

nah, just F12'ing on the run

even mid-firefight and while zooming

@noble estuary if you are interested in reading more deeply into the lore, I'd reccomend reading the For Dummies doc. Just ignore the "gameplay summary" segment, as it is out of date.

(the doc is too large to click "expand", you'll need to either download it or click "view whole file"

[noble estuary]

Whats the point of the gas masks we wear if we’re reinfected the moment we step out of our hsu

[coral gorge]

They look cool

plus they are from a time before all went to shit

[eternal talon]

because we are in an old and decrepit abandoned underground facility. Dust and other particulates.

[royal crow]

Normal contaminated air

[coral gorge]

so they used to be usefull for filtering mining gases and etc

[noble estuary]

Yeah fair enough

[royal crow]

Breathing dust particles and toxic gases isnt good for health

[eternal talon]

even then, our filters would be at the cusp of expiring.

and i don't see the warden manufacturing more

[royal crow]

We get old guns that look like they are going to break like legos

So

[coral gorge]

listen

if it can shoot

it works

[eternal talon]

why use guns when a solid lead pipe seems to do the trick...

[noble estuary]

Its a wonder we even have guns to pick from to begin with

[eternal talon]

or ammunition.

[royal crow]

I think lorewise the warden gives us guns and ammo as well as other resources every time we finish an Expedition as a reward

[gray bone]

Probably from the armed forces that tried to quarantine the place

[royal crow]

Gameplay wise we just get funny cosmetics

[gray bone]

That or there's a 3d printer in the Complex structure somewhere

[coral gorge]

yeah its prolly just old KSO gear

[gray bone]

Seeing as DoW is somewhat tied into GTFO that could be the case

yeah kso gear seems more likely

[eternal talon]

IRL is canon to the gtfo universe.

[coral gorge]

and tbh i wish we got more of „yeah the warden has a finite amount of gear, go find more armories” or smth

[royal crow]

Guys
Wait 30 years and we get garganta irl

[eternal talon]

unless the devs explicitly say DOW isn't set in the gtfo universe, it is.

[royal crow]

Trust

[coral gorge]

would have added a bit more… interesting stuff? To the wardens doings

[eternal talon]

or perhaps i should say GTFO multiverse

[coral gorge]

Gtfo tetraverse

why tetra? Why not

[royal crow]

tetranuts

[coral gorge]

tetra deez deer

[gray bone]

I wish we could mod the game into a roguelike

[noble estuary]

How so

[eternal talon]

as far as i am aware, there are no direct connections to GTFO, but this is more extrapolating on the whole "GTFO multiverse" with how worldlines/membranes work in the lore.

for example, IRL, like us having this conversation right now, is canon and is happing somewhere out there in GTFO's lore.

... and us having this conversation except we are both french

... and us having this conversation mid-expedition into the belgian jungle

anything and everything is canon somewhere in gtfo.

[gray bone]

There's a command to bring you to the DOW webpage

Start denofwolves.exe or smth like that

[noble estuary]

Dauda playing GTFO in a terminal in GTFO is canon

[eternal talon]

Dauda playing GTFO at an Arby's except he is a dinosaur... is canon.

everything means everything

Your happy ending exists somewhere... you just don't get to play it.

Our squad are the most OP and best version of our squad in the multiverse. We first try every expedition with all optional objectives and take little to no damage.

(The OG squad, that is)

[noble estuary]

How do hel weapons work. Like i know they’re “hybrid electrothermal light-gas guns” but what does that mean?

[coral gorge]

@eternal talon i summon you to post the picture of the giant cannon

i know you have it somewhere

[eternal talon]

I need clarification on what you are referring to specifically.

From in-game or Wikipedia?

[eternal talon]

I'm not a gunsmith, so can't tell you specifically. The IRL ones are massive, and the ones in game are more advanced, portable versions of them, developed in the 2050s.

[noble estuary]

Oh shit i didn’t realise they were real

[eternal talon]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-gas_gun

I assume the above article is what Cubix is referring to.

(As to the picture of a giant cannon)

@coral gorge meta question ^

Whelp, and like that, the vote is immediately tied.

This would bear an incredibly interesting conversation on the nature of free will and if we are actually the players, or are their conciousness....

my brain melted from overanalyzing

I don't know if this is a question humans can answer.

[loud urchin]

i don't think yes/no are the available answers to this question

[eternal talon]

what would you pose as an answer to it?

[loud urchin]

well given the phrasing of the question, I believe the answers are between "OG squad are the best individuals in the multiverse" and "OG squad are a gestalt that made all the correct decisions"

and not "yes" or "no"

[raw terrace]

"Is Y the correct option or is it X?"
yes

[eternal talon]

What is this

[worn rivet]

uh *shit wrong channel sorry

[eternal talon]

But no like, what is it?

Are you fan-fictioning hearsay, or is it a quoted log?

[gray bone]

It's probs a meme

[worn rivet]

a multi server multi fandom crack style thingy im making

[royal crow]

hey guys

DoW gameplay tomorrow

[worn rivet]

not quoted log

[gray bone]

what's the source on that anyways

[eternal talon]

Oof, where did you hear that pable?

[royal crow]

DoW twitter

[gray bone]

oh huh

[worn rivet]

and general

[eternal talon]

Where on? YT? Twitch?

[royal crow]

TWITTER

[gray bone]

DOW twitter

X

[royal crow]

Xwitter

[eternal talon]

No, where would they post the gameplay

[royal crow]

in there

in social media

[eternal talon]

I don't use social media besides reddit...

[royal crow]

they will also showcase it on the Game Awards

[eternal talon]

and technically discord

[royal crow]

not even youtube?

[eternal talon]

When all I use youtube for is music, I wouldn't count it.

[gray bone]

we'll throw a link up
And annoucement probably would light up as well

[royal crow]

yeah thats fair

[eternal talon]

Why pay for a Spotify when I can just torrent YT links

[royal crow]

i have cracked spotify premium

get good

[eternal talon]

I have two monitors.

I am inherently superior

[gray bone]

I wish i could do that for long flights

[eternal talon]

ytmp3.cc

[royal crow]

i have a GTX 1650
im better

(kill me)

(its barely holding)

[gray bone]

Don't you and I both play this game on laptop?

[eternal talon]

1660ti

[royal crow]

yeah

and my laptop has a funny 1650 that at any moment will fucking die

[eternal talon]

I have an amd fx6300 cpu

[royal crow]

my SSD is already giving up

[eternal talon]

I have a hard drive

I can win both sides of this war

I am the ultimate bottleneck

[royal crow]

[gray bone]

I have 2TB stick in my laptop

It's usually enough

[eternal talon]

8gb ram in 2024

[royal crow]

thats barely enough to run windows 11

imagine

[eternal talon]

I don't have windows 11

My system can't support it

Even windows won't let it

[royal crow]

jesus

[eternal talon]

I still use 10

You can't make me use 11

I'd sooner buy a steam deck

[gray bone]

My laptop has a disconnected integrated webcam permanently there

[gray bone]

Apparently using a steam deck as a pc isn't that bad

No idea if that's actually the case

[eternal talon]

I've heard the steam deck is really good

In general

[gray bone]

Gaben was really proud of it

[royal crow]

we love Gaben

🙏

[worn rivet]

PLINKS

[honest summit]

I believe the only weakpoint was battery capacity

Althoughthey did Nail it with compatibiliy with different games

[safe gale]

can you use a powerbank for it

[honest summit]

Yeah you can

You Just have to carry a brick along the Steam deck

[safe gale]

fortunately my hand bag has a usb slot for carrying a brick around

i always have a bag

[eternal talon]

how about a 15w solar panel?

[safe gale]

just like in factorio

[eternal talon]

i meant genuinely... how much wattage to go infinite

oh wow how convenient...

[safe gale]

i wouldnt be surprised if this is intentional

[eternal talon]

i'm fucking infinite

[royal crow]

Guys pls give 700$

I want a steam deck

[safe gale]

i'd still use a laptop

good for work and goofing around

but ngl being able to properly charge a steam deck is a big plus

i want 300$ for a vr bc i like expensive toys and i have nothing else to buy

[noble estuary]

So why do the sleepers glow. Is that the parasite?

[royal crow]

They like to cosplay as glowsticks

Jokes aside

I guess its just part of the reaction from being alerted when they hear noise

Or just a form of ecolocation

[worn rivet]

Hmm interesting

[short gazelle]

Hmmm, DOW might actually be connected to GTFO after all. Sights/attachments, and what appears to be an early (in universe) veruta MG showed up in the new trailer.

[royal crow]

No

Just

No

Not everything has to be connected

[broken rivet]

john wolves

[raw terrace]

no no it isnt

not cuz u carry a box means its connected

[short gazelle]

When did I say anything about carrying a box?

[royal crow]

its an example

because it looks like in DoW we carry boxes the same way as we carry cells in GTFO

[short gazelle]

That's just a gameplay mechanic though. I could see them reusing the sights and attachments as placeholders for the time being, but it's still interesting.

Makes me wonder if some of the weapon manufactures will make a return as a nice lil nod.

[raw terrace]

nods, maybe

but connections probs not

[bright sphinx]

I fucking predicted it

Make me head of arrowhead after this one

[honest summit]

"not every story has to have significance, ya know? Sometimes, uh, sometimes a story is just a story. You try to read into every little thing and find meaning in everything anyone says, you'll just...drive yourself crazy."

@bright sphinx Also am i tripping or did you get banned twice now?

[warped bloom]

Preqiel confirmes

[worn rivet]

What

[bright sphinx]

Why did this not ping

Also no?

I've never been banned once lol. You thinking of someone else?

[royal crow]

Simon?

Simundo

[north obsidian]

what and when was the daylight mission?

[coral gorge]

It was a mission done by WHO (or what was left of it) that sought to find the origin of nam-v to hopefullu develop a cure. Their search eventually brought them to garganta

||however soon after entering the complex, a group of KSOs (most likely the ALT quad itself) executed them all||

For a date id have to look for logs, i think one of them has fhe exact date but i think it was 2060-smth

[cedar adder]

spring-summer 2057
they did find the patient zero, but were killed by alt quad as said above. interestingly enough, their first report seems to have been intercepted and altered to appear as if mission goes better than it really does. warden wanted these people dead, and i'm not even sure why

[coral gorge]

Probably cause it didnt want them meddling with stuff in garganta and also prolly the warden didnt want the rest of the world to know what goes on inside the complex

there are a lot of reasons we can theorize about

[raw terrace]

did they find patient zero

log source mijito

[coral gorge]

Also that

i know they found traces of him

[royal crow]

LMAO

[coral gorge]

that sounds racist but it prolly isnt

[raw terrace]

yeah ik they found like that he was floridian or something but not that they found him

[raw terrace]

mijito is like "son"

[royal crow]

Nah it means kiddo

[raw terrace]

gimme ur sources son

:3

[coral gorge]

wow the slendi lore is increasing

[royal crow]

Is

[raw terrace]

more likee the spanish lore

[royal crow]

A common spanish word

[coral gorge]

Who cares about spanish people tho

you two are like the only people who actually speak that language

[raw terrace]

:3

[royal crow]

You mean spanish people or spanish speaking people?

[coral gorge]

yes.

[royal crow]

Me when spanish is the 3rd most popular language in the world

[coral gorge]

Shut up

shut. up.

[raw terrace]

dont get all picky we know what he means kmdkms

[royal crow]

Niñiñiñili

Cry me a river

[coral gorge]

Frog yourself

[royal crow]

Wait cubix

I know what i Will get You for christmas

An helicopter

🙏

[coral gorge]

Um akhtually first of all its „a helicopter” and also, helicopters are like hard to buy 🤓

[royal crow]

Please make sure to crash it

And also make sure you are inside of it

Thanks

[coral gorge]

I will do one of these

[coral gorge]

my pleasure

[north obsidian]

in what rundown can the logs be found in related to it?

just so i know

[royal crow]

Daylight team? I think they are scattered around between rundown 3, 4 and 8

I don't remember which levels

[coral gorge]

yeah

they start in r3, end in r8

[north obsidian]

ok

thank you grimm

[worn rivet]

It's almost been a month I've been here hows it going for you all

[gray bone]

Fine enough
Not a lot of tech support stuff this past month

Now that holidays are afoot, we'll see more of those come in, as well as lore inquiries

Anything you'd like to ask?

[worn rivet]

Hmm interesting how big is garganta

How many dimensions do we go too

And how old is Schaffer

[coral gorge]

the size of a city, frosty made a visual representation a while back if you can find that

[coral gorge]

well:
OG
ALT
R8
Destination
Nightmare
Clean wordline
And a couple minor ones:
Like 3 or 4 in R8B2
…and prolly more i forgot

[coral gorge]

He was born in 2022 and hired in 2050

so he is about 30 years old (+ hydrostasis) by the time the game takes place

[honest summit]

Thinking about it. It was never confirmed that the Destination was Just a single Dimension. It Could very possibly be multiple different dimensions that the science Team Has already explored, hence the membrane Databank in R8C1

We do visit some of them multiple Times tho

[coral gorge]

I mean i guess? Although there is no real way to check that

[royal crow]

And like 4 in R6D4

Since every warp when You take the cube is a different dimension

[royal crow]

This place is beeeeg

[noble estuary]

So what is the infectious fog? Is it just the parasite and virus?

Also how do we know when we’re in og or alt worldlines?

[royal crow]

the game tells you

if it says ALT = ALT

[noble estuary]

Ah okay

[royal crow]

if it doesnt say anything its OG

[loud urchin]

||apart from r8 because LMAO||

[safe gale]

ogn't

[honest summit]

Pick your headcannon, nothing was really confirmed

[coral gorge]

ogn't... kinda reminds of egg nog
R8 is the eggnog wordline, change my mind

[safe gale]

hmm

[noble estuary]

Its axe body spray now

[eternal talon]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/IIX_Syringe
OGR5C2 MAIL_INV_CNTR-445.LOG
is dated August 4th 2050, when they received a shipment of IIX syringes
OGR6C1 YTG-48A-GK3
describes first contact with NAM-V in Garganta, and is dated March 18th 2052
ALT://R3A1 EBD-T34-DG1
describes side effects with the I2-LP syringes, and though it is dated September 30th 2052, the log seems to have no relevance to NAM-V

[eternal talon]

yee, 🍝

[eternal talon]

the syringes give the infection effect and had these side effects before modern humanity ever even came into contact with nam-v.
i think it is cut and dry, but some people bizzarely disagree.

additionally: "infection" as a game mechanic doesn't work like how NAM-V is described to by dauda in logs.
we would get max infection on level start -- and disinfection stations wouldn't exist, as nam-v being incurable is a key plot point

I don't understand some people's insistence that the infection mechanic and nam-v are the same.
the developers literally cut a shooter variant that would have spread infection because it would have been misleading.

this is not new information.
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.

they are dead, they failed. Disinfection stations are not effective.

[lone beacon]

GTFO players don't know what Deodorant is

[eternal talon]

i've found the source files for the disinfection pack, unfortunately it is in german so i can't read it.

if someone here speaks german, please DM me.

[honest summit]

I would still disagree. have you Seen the needles we use to inject it? You will definitely get everything from HIV to NAM V from using dirty syringes after Picking them Up from the floor

Like isaid nothing is confirmed

Giant aah plothole

[eternal talon]

right, but this log doesn't mention anything even remotely to do with nam-v or contaminated areas.
**Scott,

I’ve increased the duration of the IIx drug effect – fast-twitch muscle power has increased by another 8 seconds. As suggested, it will come in handy for if the pneumatic tools can't be used for whatever reason. A miner can take a hit of the FTF booster syringe and smash the rock with a sledgehammer.

I am concerned with the desire to make the boost last longer. There are side effects that become more prevalent when the duration of the effect is extended. I'll keep researching, but don't expect miracles. Just tell the miners to manage their doses well.

The side effects noted with the Injury Infection Liquid Pharmacon (I2-LP), are seemingly random and I haven’t yet found a way to resolve the issue. I’ll keep working on it.

CJ
**

IIx drug effect (llx is the syringes)

[honest summit]

You are absolutely right. The NamV is Not the Side effect. In fact i dont believe that the infection is a Side effect either

It is too wague. It can range from nausia to kidney failire idk

[eternal talon]

so what are you arguing? on a technical standpoint, like, just looking at logs, infection cannot be nam-v under any circumstances -- because of dauda's research

we know how it spreads

disinfection as a mechanic wouldn't exist

[honest summit]

I am saying Pick your headcannon, it can be anything

[eternal talon]

so occam's razor says it isn't nam-v

[eternal talon]

so nam-v, which is said a hundred times across a dozen rundowns to be incurable and "you get it you die", can just be cured by a pack of juice?

its not even remotely considerable

[honest summit]

Who knows, maybe its 101% alcohol lmao

Plothole is a plothole

[eternal talon]

no, like, the only reason Hydrostasis works is because it physically KILLS YOU

the virus dies the same reason it dies after sitting on a wall for 5 weeks.

or any other surface

[honest summit]

It does Not have to be there for multiple weeks tho

If the Air Filtration is faulty, it Could spread newly incubated patogens through the Air ducts

In fact it would explain why some fog is Not infectious, since it is the fog where the Virus Has already died out

[eternal talon]

your right, because we are suspended after death in a... "synthetic amniotic fluid". standard time in hydrostasis for kovac is 2 years, for the warden, the time between missions is unknown, but again, what does that have to do with infection mechanic? we never start a level at max infection?

(that one r5 level doesn't count, as we ride the elevator through it and if you enable hud you can watch it tick up)

[eternal talon]

sleeper attacks. basic hits.. would give you infection.

they don't.

they cut an enemy that would have.

(source: The relationship is certainly symbiotic. The virus triggers life-prolonging chemical production in the parasite, and the parasite provides a suspendable organic structure for the virus. The parasite transmits the virus to new hosts, and in turn the virus alters the behavior of the host to accept the presence of the parasite and inhibit the desire to remove it.)

(insert SleeperTongue.png, i dont have the pic)

the biggest bullet is disinfection, which is an argument it is impossible for you to win.

[honest summit]

A reason for that Could be that even though they do infect you, it is much much less concentrated than If you breathed in the concentration of it directly into your lungs.

[eternal talon]

just... to avoid going in circles repeatedly here;

make your point, cite your sources, and I will deconstruct it, then we can go back and forth.

[honest summit]

I am Not Here to argue. I See your Point and agree that it would absolutely make sense If the infection is Not related to NAM V. I simply believe that 10C did inted it to be the Virus, but through plotholes and contradictions messed it up

Hence Pick your headcannon

[royal crow]

Guys

It's gameplay

Gameplay isnt acurrate to lore

In any game

EVER

[eternal talon]

well no, not argue is a negative sense, but for a constructive use. like scientists bashing heads. no good theory should go unproven, it should stand.

[eternal talon]

i agree with your assessment, though.

that was certainly their intent

though its not how it ended up being

as the game is complete and the devs have moved on, though, i still think its valuable to peice together what is.

[eternal talon]

it should at least try to be. that is the real standard.

[royal crow]

Not really

[eternal talon]

so a game about martians invading earth in gameplay should have lore that says there is no life out in space?

[royal crow]

Maybe

[eternal talon]

(a bit extreme of an example, but still)

[eternal talon]

what.

[royal crow]

What i mean by this is that if GTFO was gameplay acurrate
One giant hit would be enough to kill us

Totally

[honest summit]

Dead Space moment

[royal crow]

One tank hit would absolute smash our skull

Sleepers would tear our limbs apart

Sleepers would destroy Security doors

A lot of games arent gameplay-lore accurrate because simply it wouldnt be fun to play

[bright sphinx]

Everything in helldivers 2 that happens ingame is canon

[worn rivet]

Oh god that's alot

[north obsidian]

in alt r4 which mission introduces schaeffur

[royal crow]

schaeffer is formally introduced in R6

[north obsidian]

yea but in terms of logs

[royal crow]

B1

[north obsidian]

ok

[cedar adder]

schaeffer logs start in alt r3 tho

[royal crow]

R3D1 yeah

i think its in the room with the weird machine

[cedar adder]

there's one before that

in c1

[royal crow]

fuck C1

boring ass level

thanks

[north obsidian]

who was patient zero?

[royal crow]

The first Nam-V carrier that got out and spread the virus

[north obsidian]

yea but the name

is there a name

[royal crow]

we dont know exactly who he was

We just know he existed

[north obsidian]

ok

what was the reason behind woods shooting 17people

during his time with the marines

[raw terrace]

he believe god talked to him and convinced him he was doing the right thing

he says something like they were 'lost'

and he brought them salvation

he just a silly guy

[royal crow]

Slendi [Lore version]

[raw terrace]

:3

i tries

[north obsidian]

is there a log i can find related to this

[royal crow]

His interview log

[raw terrace]

the logs in r5a2 and a3, they are slighty different in the ALT and in the OG

in the ALT hes a little more aggresive

[north obsidian]

oh yeah

i forgot about that

[royal crow]

In ALT he also says more stuff

I recommend checking it out
Very interesting

[north obsidian]

i have already

i just forgot about it

[eternal talon]

depends on what you mean.

the first lifeform? the first human? the first modern human?

there are many answers;

[north obsidian]

i mean patient zero was the first one to get infected right

who went to florida and spread it

[eternal talon]

ranging from some unknown alien species, maybe not even collector, to the ancient mayans who fought it, to the two scientists that broke quarantine in the 2050s.

[royal crow]

contemporary human*

We are not in the modern era

[eternal talon]

it is the new modern.

we are the past.

schaeffer is gen alpha

[royal crow]

Eewwwwww

Dont remind me of that

[eternal talon]

LUL

[royal crow]

He would be like 2 years old by now right?

[eternal talon]

april 12th, 2022

he's a covid kid

[royal crow]

Skibidi + cocomelon kid

[eternal talon]

i don't believe so, but lemme check if he has a name

[royal crow]

No wonder he turned out crazy

[eternal talon]

He was an employee of the Santonian Mining Company, he was 33 at the time he contracted the virus. descriptors, but i'm not seeing a name

[royal crow]

Yeah we dont have a name

[eternal talon]

He was working on something called Project Insight

[royal crow]

Damn

Fuck

And head

Is banned

[eternal talon]

for someone who swears in every other sentence, it is unsurprising

[north obsidian]

frosty i know this is unrelated but do you come from somewhere in the caucasus region?

[eternal talon]

bumfuck no-where USA.

midwest, michigan, moved to oregon.

[north obsidian]

okay nvm i read something wrong

my bad

[eternal talon]

there are mountains here tho

tons.

[royal crow]

Honestly
He got a good work position considering his record

Thats surprising

[eternal talon]

posted pics here last time i went hiking.

[north obsidian]

i accidentally read PM as AM

also did hacket kill some of his family members?

[royal crow]

He only killed civilians

[eternal talon]

mt hood is off-screen to the left.

[royal crow]

Not that bad

[north obsidian]

i swear reading a log that was talking about the hacket family

and that hacketts brother was shot by hacket

[eternal talon]

he's just a silly guy

[north obsidian]

is this the interview log from alt?

[cedar adder]

ye, it's implied he shot his brother and pushed his mom off a cliff

[eternal talon]

og

[north obsidian]

i cant open it since im on phone

ok

[eternal talon]

Recruiter
(static) You say God told you to kill those men?
Woods
God doesn't tell us to do anything. If you waiting for him to speak to you, you've already lost brother. I killed them.
Recruiter
Why?
Woods
Their journey had no meaning. Without meaning they were lost and they brought chaos, chaos is the power of the Devil. I brought order. I have explained it to you but I can't make you understand it.
Recruiter
Those marines at Larnica, that wasn't chaos.
Woods
(sigh)

From where we stand it appears you brought chaos into this world, not your victims-

You see, you believe that this world is God's creation, that somehow this world is a gift created by God, that this is our Eden. Look around you brother. You could not be more wrong. This godless place, is hell. We are in the Devil's domain, we are here to fulfill our commandment, to drive the Devil out and bring order to his chaos. We are all soldiers.

why did he do this is he stupid?

[eternal talon]

Recruiter
Soldiers on a crusade?
Woods
Crusade, jihad, holy war - call it what you want brother. It is your duty.
Recruiter
Hmm. (deep breath) And those marines, I suppose they were the enemy.
Woods
Yes, I spoke to them, each and every one when they arrived in Larnica. These men reveled in the chaos. I reminded them to their oath to the lord, but they could not hear me.
Recruiter
(breath) Did they, didn't do nothing?
Woods
They offended GOD! I found them to be lost and without hope! The godless, on the slaves, on which upon hell is built. The godless have forgotten the commandment, the godless FEED the Devil! The question is, why weren't you there to kill them?
Recruiter
(sigh) Alright, I guess, let's talk about Turkey, your "miracle mile" as it was called.
Woods
That was no miracle, it was a message. A clear and direct message that only a fool would not hear.
Recruiter
From God?-

Woods
I should've died when Erzurum fell to the rebels! I should've died sneaking through enemy territory for 26 days! I should've died in the DMZ, yet somehow the snipers missed me time and time again! I should've died crossing the minefield but somehow, here I still am. That brother is a message, he led me through the chaos so I could be at his hand! I will no longer be the Devil's slave, I will no longer watch silently as he feeds on the lost! I am compelled to do the duty as he commanded!
Recruiter
Well, this duty may end with you going to the chair,
Woods
(quick sigh) Death would be a blessing but as you can see, you cannot kill me. It is not in His plan. Release me brother.
Recruiter
(deep breath and sigh) I can't do that Woods. You know I can't
Woods
Release me.
Recruiter
Well, we are going to send you somewhere, to get some help.
Woods
I do not need help.
Recruiter
It's a new program woods, designed for people just like you.
Woods
(quick sigh) I will not die by your hand brother. That is not His plan.
Recruiter
We'll see Woods, we'll see. (silence) (static)

implication

[eternal talon]

Interviewer
God told you to kill those men?
Woods
No. I mean… is that easier for you to understand? To blame it on God? No, I killed them. I killed them.
Interviewer
Why?
Woods
They were evil. Corrupt. They had strayed from the path. I brought order to their chaos.
Interviewer
Those marines, at Larnaca… Was that chaos? From where we stand it appears as if you brought chaos to this world, not your victims.
Woods
No! I was stopping the chaos. We are in hell, brother. There are no victims here. We have all been shown the path and given a choice. They chose to stray from the path. They made their choice. I did my duty. I had to do it. This is war!
Interviewer
And those marines were the enemy?

Woods
Yes! Or… Listen, I knew every one of them. Apostles of the devil, to a man. They celebrated it, rejoiced in the chaos of their deeds. I did give them a last chance to hear the word before their judgment, but they chose to remain deaf.
Interviewer
Did they laugh at you?
Woods
They did not seek forgiveness. That is what matters.
Interviewer
Let’s talk about Turkey. Your "Miracle Mile" as they call it--
Woods
That was not a miracle. It was a message. When Erzurum fell to the rebels, he spared me. When I spent 26 days behind enemy lines, he led me. When I crossed the DMZ with the crosshairs of the sniper upon me, he shielded me. When I walked blind through the minefield, he gave me his vision. That is a message. I heard it loud and clear, as he wanted. It was personal. I must do my duty, so I did.
Interviewer
This duty may end with you going to the chair.
Woods
You cannot kill me. It is not in his plan.
Interviewer
We’re going to send you somewhere to get some help.

Woods
I know.
Interviewer
It’s a new program, designed for people just like you, Woods.
Woods
I know. I knew before you did. I am going where he needs me. I will be ready. When the plague comes, I shall be rescued from the lion's mouth, and he will lead us from the darkness. For though there may be many of me, he is one.
Interviewer
Well, we’ll see won’t we?
Woods
I will see. You will die.
