Wasn't Hammerstein already doing fucky things with people
People really hated him
There was a log about a dude writing his obituary and he was like "I'm so happy he got killed i hope he suffered"
yes but in a2 is a dimension where he got to do anything w/o limits

What a cool guy
So wait a second
Is bishop ballin
He went to the jungle membrane with durant, came back, went through the entire GTFO videogame with the other 3 guys and then went right back to durant
chad canon
How is durant alive?
It's said that time passes much faster in the jungle membrane
Which means he'd have to be waiting a massive amount of time for the GTFO to happen
hoow fast tho i no remember the conversion
85 to 115 times
It's also said that they received a comms attempt multiple years after arriving to the membrane
Which seemingly was done by the garganta team basically immediately
So if 3 minutes turned into multiple years i can't imagine that durant is still alive after the months it took gtfo to happen
fandom wiki smh
What do you want from me
Dr. Durant peacefully carving wood figurines and living in a hut
Our quad:
well durant lived with a team, described the air breathable and said there was sources of water and possible sources of food
tbh sounds like a placce to live, basically for years without troublee
they dont describe any creatures
tho he does say the end is full of traps so, who knowsmaybe they are defensive
No i mean how is he not dead from old age
If the membrane moves so much faster than the gtfo universe
Thr expedition happened in 2055 and gtfo takes place in 2063
Time moves 85 times faster
Dr. Durant has aged 680 years before the events of gtfo even start
thats destination isnt it
also do we even know when gtfo e2 happens
It is but it also flows slow in jungle
slow but we dont know the rate
Idk but it doesn't really matter
If it was 10x slower then he's aged 80 years
By the time r4 happens
He sounds completely fine when we go and not like he's aged at all
Frosty come teach us
Gentlemen! Consider this: it seems I won't be able to get a license for GTFO fanfiction. Could there be Sleepers on the surface, beyond Garganta, after the virus has engulfed the world and humanity has fallen, perhaps in the form of dogs or other animals? The virus is supposedly all-consuming. Or does it only affect humans? From what I understand from the descriptions, it destroys all fauna. What about flora? Does it have any effect on plants or trees?
It was only NAM-V that escaped, no Parasite (in ALT specifically). AFAIK, Sleepers on the surface aside those that escaped from the various digsites in the immediate proximity which were encountered by the Cuban military and are of the Wave (dark skinned) variant specifically. What is mainly on the surface are countless rotting corpses across the world littering the streets (as told by Dr. Truth logs)
As far as I understand the timeline, the parasite emerged onto the surface after Mister Truth was long dead. Around the time of the Daylight Mission's demise. That's when it all began.
So let's say the Parasite, along with the virus, spread across the entire planet. And besides piles of rotting corpses, could there be Sleepers of animal origin?
So, assuming only the virus emerged, what does it affect? Just people? People and animals? What about plants and trees? Is there any influence or contamination?
virus only killed people, didnt turn them to sleepers (imagine if ebola spread world wide and then some)
oooh you meant like that, if i remember correctly it doesnt affect animals
I know. I understand that the Sleepers are a symbiosis of a virus and a parasite. My question is different.
Before writing my question, I studied the lore.
nor do i think it affects plants and trees
@eternal talon can you clarify how much of this is accurate, when you have the chance?
To my knowledge it doesn’t affect plants or trees, otherwise we wouldn’t have Floodways and Gardens the way they are currently inside the ground zero that is The Complex
I think so too. But I wanted to check just in case.
My main question is about animals. How do the virus and parasite affect them? Together and separately.
They are pretty much just a host to spread out the virus even more
The most unaffected living beings are plants since they just keep spreading out the virus
If im correct
I'm pretty sure that's a plot hole
We know Destination had life
Yet where are the plants or trees?
I think we had a convo about it months ago
I'ma try to find it
Oh yeah looks like plants are fine In OG
.
And just next to that there was a really mindfuck convo about worldlines lol
I recommend reading that too
There's plants in Destination
That's dead plants isn't it?
they very dry
the minecraft dead bushes are real plants trust
No way Minecraft is real
if the parasite really did spread, it could be that it infected animals what could have irreversibly disrupted the ecosystem turning everything into a dessert
idfk i am not a biologist
no?
Thems what the wiki do be sayin
Prove me otherwise
I accept it
He went there with dr durant and then another bishop came back with the mwp
I think
And that bishop is the gtfo
John gtfo
that's ridiculous.
We know bishop in both OG and ALT:// was a part of the EF01 mission.
OG Ef01 went to Destination. (a) bishop eventually returned alone with a matter wave projector. It's implied that this is OG bishop, but we cannot verify because multiverse shenanigans.
OG bishop would then be with the OG squad for all of gameplay.
the ALT://bishop that left for ef01 was not, verifiably not the ALT://bishop that returned, and is playable in the ALT:// rundowns.
**Dr Stokes,
I have just collated the final post-launch report and I noticed something odd. I'm scratching my head on this one - maybe it makes sense to you?
During the scrub down of the jump site, we discovered a security officer mask jammed under the launch platform. We ran a forensic on it and the DNA came as KSO Bishop - the only operative who returned from EF-01. However, Bishop had all of his equipment when he returned - including his mask. The mask we found was also a different design to Bishop's mask, but at some point, Bishop must have been wearing the mask. It was covered in his DNA.
I followed up with Mr. Piros and explained the conundrum. Mr. Piros informed me that Bishop's equipment is all accounted for. I asked Mr. Piros if they had issued Bishop any new equipment after the expedition, but Mr. Piros told me Bishop is using the same equipment he was issued with when he was delivered to Garganta. Mr. Piros refused to give me any more information at that point and simply stopped responding to me. I don't think he was hiding anything; I think he just had nothing else to say.
So now we have this mask. I don't know if this means anything, but I'm stumped. I have secured the item in the artifact vault should you want us to run any further tests on it.
Let me know,
Nolan Connor**
are there now two bishops in the jungle worldline? debatable, but i'd say it's likely/plausible.
but OG bishop never went to the jungle worldline and is playable all through OG.
and ALT://bishop (during ef01) isn't PLAYABLE alt://bishop
playable alt://bishop is completely uknown as to where he came from
I'm confused now
how?
Was alt ef01 not going to the jungle
So he went there
Oh the whole thing is that it's not the same bishop?
Wait so where the hell is original bishop then is he stuck there still
ALT://ef01 went to the jungle.
OG://ef01 went to destination.
There 2 bishops in the ending
Holy shit
They can play chess with each other
And draw every time
as far as we can prove, OG bishop left to destination and returned to OG
ALT:// bishop (original) went to jungle, and ALT:// bishop (unknown) returned to ALT://
the original alt bishop is unnacounted for.
there are many dead members of our squad in r8 (including several bishops)
So there are verifiably 2 bishops in the jungle now
this instance is just only occuring over text so i could see how it might be a bit confusing
I wonder what that would be like
playable alt:// bishop = wildcard bishop
Seeing yourself dead
actual alt://bishop probably playing jungle survival simulator
Why didn't he say anything at the end there
Isn't he with durant
Did he go back to monke and run away
He still has his chip in
Was he busy collecting firewood
Why did they even lay traps
Also what about Durant's age issue
This stuff
ALT://
...So either we've lost synchronization, or it broke during the jump, or it's running slow. Very slow. Alice is looking into it, but we may be here a while.
R8 (being contradictory)
Durant's time was running faster than our time. And not by a little - by a lot. Back of the envelope math is 1 second in our quantum frequency is about 115 seconds in Durant's quantum frequency.
OG://
We have located the vegetation capsule we sent through three days ago, but it didn’t survive the jump. The capsules must have popped open during transit, the plants have been exposed and withered away to nothing. Although the soil in the capsule is bone dry. I prepped these plants myself and when they left my lab, the soil was saturated. And even in this environment the plants should have survived weeks but they look like they died months even years ago.
Durant's time was running faster than our time. And not by a little - by a lot. Back of the envelope math is1 second in our quantum frequency is about 85 seconds in Durant's quantum frequency. I mean I...
in OG logs, from the perspective of someone on destination, the time runs super fast, as between the days of the plants being sent through and the team going through, siginificant time had already passed on destination.
well i shouldn't say perspective...
to someone on destination it would seem normal
destination's time runs faster than earths.
there is no mention ofplant samples in the ALT:// log regarding the jungle.
if the jungle planet is slower compared to earth, (the time difference between the two), or it's running slow. Very slow. it would be feasible for durant and co to still be alive by the time of r8, but that is only one possibility laid out in the log.
it could also be that they lost connection, like they lost everything else. We have lost our link to Garganta. No comms, no telemetry, no quantum tether.
if r8's log is talking specifically about the jungle worldine's time, you'd have an issue, i agree.
it being even faster than destination would be ggs.
however
there are more than just the OG and ALT:// worldlines slammed together into r8.
Schizo lore strikes again
it's possible it could be ANOTHER ef01 expedition to ANOTHER dimension
but...
you know
I don't
depends on how pepe silvia you want to go
then you can just argue that that log is referring to another ef01 expedition from one of the other half dozen worldlines in r8 and not in relation to OG (destination) or alt (jungle planet) at all
like i said, pepe silvia
hey frostty
i'm working my way down the list
just saying hi
there are in the ALT:// universe. not in OG tho.
other fauna... yes, seems highly likely, given the destination infected, which were aliens.
there is a living species of thistle on destination, so it seems to leave plants alone. long live ents and twig blights!
Weird
there are also these seemingly fossilized roots, but they could just be normal-extinct.
yep, plants are clean for the most part. in regards to when the parasite got out in alt://... i'm not sure if we know, to be honest.
I don't see any dates in the later alt://truth logs either tbf... meta3.date_stamp(571209.062912)
you could make an argument for this line "It's all on the table now, now that we know they are lying to us. Aliens, the virus, the burning bodies, poison in the water, false memories, clones, earthquakes, parasites. The horror of it all is all laid bare before us." but it'd be a weak one.
this one is a bit more interesting though... "...and when my mind goes I don't want to be a Stooper."
also He got... I don't know... I think he had NAM-V. Dogs can get it... || If you're listening, and you're still healthy, stay away from the animals. It's not just humans, it feeds on life, man. You can't defeat it. Just... hide. That's all I can tell you. Hide. Don't come out, for anything. from B5R-T76-QLP
if the virus infects someone, they just mutate and mutate until their body can't handle the damage anymore and they just die. The parasite on its own, we don't really know.. We know how they operate post-symbiosis in the current epoch, aka, post collector interference/collection, where the parasite will go after infected hosts (with nam-v) and just continue the mutations and go from there, but if it was just the parasite itself... i'd imagine something primal. like the velonaceps calyx in barotrauma.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notobasis_syriaca
(this isn't the same species of plant, obviously, but it highly (imo) resembles this)
Notobasis syriaca, or the Syrian thistle, is a species of flowering plant in the tribe Cardueae within the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East, from Madeira, the Canary Islands, Morocco and Portugal east to Egypt, Iran and Azerbaijan.
It is an annual plant belonging to the semi-desert flora, growing to...
that's my general thought proccess.
@past vessel what do you think he means by this line "...and when my mind goes I don't want to be a Stooper."?
i'm sure he is familiar with the term due to his study/research into garganta
but i'm not sure he really knows what it means
or maybe i'm the one misunderstanding
probably morph on stupor, as in when you're sick you start acting like you're in a hazy stupor?
i've always assumed being a "stooper" is like that inbetween stage of first parasite infection and going full sleeper
because i know the workers used to call the virus "the stoops" and whatnot,
but you wouldn't call someone suffering from covid a covider
yep
I send the picture when i can but yea this from what i remember is a asset of a fossilised meatball (not seen in game)
... so cut content? Remember, that kind of thing isn't canon
should send that to me [i wanna see it]
I would like to see it too, I'm just saying.
There is a LOT of cut stuff in the code
Some of it mostly intact, some of it barely there.
But if something is scrapped, it is for a reason. Not necessarily lore, but if it wasn't ever officially released, we shouldn't consider it.
no it isnt scrapped just that you don't get the full picture just from that
if it isn't visible or implied in-game or in logs, it isn't canon.
you have outside knowledge leading you to that conclusion (stuff in-code or unreleased)
stuff can and readily does get repurposed for other things in pretty much all media.
it's an A Priori fallacy.
this is it
look at that mouth tho😋
They're correct, that exact asset is used in the desert dimension on R7B3, its just upside down
so it is used
multiple times even
its right here
and then another a couple meters to the left on the same rock formation
i feel like that's reaching a bit...
surely i'm not crazy for thinking that?
if 99% of an object is hidden and impossible to see in-game, and the only way to "know what it is" is to view assets not intended for you, then maybe it's not what it actually is?
like i said before, assets get reused all the time in the industry.
what do you think is more plausible?
i don't even know how to explain this... this should just be common sense
99% of the object isn't meant to be seen/visible.
bit of a passive aggressive way to say it but i see ur point
i just don't know how to word it
huh?
i get what ur point is
i didn't mean to call anyone stupid.
i just meant to say that the topic is reaching a bit.
^
an A Prori is sort of like a poisoned well.. a predetermined conclusion that you are using evidence to point towards regardless of what is intended
damn i suck with words - i give up
most of the smaller "shelves" in skyrim are full bookcases clipped into the floor so they didn't have to make new models.
you can reasonably parkour up the whole rock formation on the right side, I did just test that
but the actual mouth part is deeply embedded in the rock almost in the center. You cannot see it in normal gameplay no matter which angle
I personally thought these were just ancient roots, but did find it odd they would go upwards
same deal for the other one
I think it's still correct to call it a fossil regardless, because roots themselves can be fossilized (petrified)
I agree. That's what I was thinking. Petrified wood.
You called it roots, i told you what i know. Asset (just the visible part)looks like a spegetti monster tentacle to me and it is literally called that in the files. Never said it is definitive proof
Just no need to rant about it so much, the lore is practically fucked because they rushed development in r8
If we want to talk about the whole asset itself for a moment, I think it's really cool and it somewhat resembles a Nautilus or Octopus
Yes
Lemme send something
Kind of a mix between krakken en the asset i sent i feel like
Smash
As of three days ago, I've contracted NAM-V.
new enemy variant?
frostty variant?
There might be a parasite stuck in their brain iirc, or they just went insane from being infected
:0
Ok
hope you get better
or get the parastite and start the downfall of the world
either one is cool
He Got the soundbug 🥀
There probably just is one
Everyone has the same symptom
Even dr teale
Hearing noises and scratching
It really pisses me off that SMC just allowed the disease to spread because corporate profits
"hm yes let us burn the planet down to avoid a negative next quarterly report, the investors will be pleased."
Don't inform anyone or lockdown the complex, why should you
..... cof
who exactly is John Schauffer (idek if i wrote his name right i just heard him talk in r6d1)
and is he really trying to help us or just setting us up

Anyways he’s a engineer iirc
That survived in the walls of gargantua
And he wants to help us iirc
There’s two versions of him
@raw terrace help me I gtg
uhhhh hold on
a sec
check the logs from C1 and D1
they give incredible sight about schaeffer, more than i cojld probably talk about here
plus there is an audio log in the very first terminal of R6D1
those 3 logs and the dialogue at the end of d1 summarize his entire existence tbh
chafi my beloved
Yep
yees
of underground facilities
Pretty big
r1-8
More than that too
canonly u do iit in order
What
if u mean tile repetition its diff zones
but not same place
so no u dont go bacj
exceept on very fw occasions
stev told me while we were doing r6a1 or b1 that we came back to r2 after i noticed it's a room from r2e1
nope
The only case we go back is in R8E1/E2
We go back to KDS Deep and that's it
when it happens is a couple times on r8, andd r1d1 / r5d1
brah
forgetting like every other time
Yeah
smh
I have fish memory
fake fan
Fish me now
fishes r cute tho

:3
kds deep is r5e1 right?
Yes
yes
Yes
alien
and who's the collectors
The aliens that crashed into earth
And brought the virus/parasite
And wiped the Dinosaurs
Yes the collectors were the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs
we read it
well chafi talks wiith them
chafi
smh
I love deploying chaff when a missile is headed my way
What about flares
Wait
Flares are for thermal guide missiles
Chaff is for radar guided missiles
Fighter pilots deploy both at the same time
I'm sure every war thunder player is on a list considering how many documents have been leaked
Oh I’m defo on a list
Every war thunder played lowkey deserves the list lol
@vernal veldt if you still have any questions after reading the .txt and the .pdf, feel free to ask.
damn the lore master is here
I check this channel every day and respond to messages when I can.
haven't read it yet but i will
i found some lore in r1b1 just now
Reminder: everything you are reading in rundowns 1-6 and half of 8, are exclusive to the alt:// universe.
Og has its own lore, though most of it is unplayable/inaccessible now
R7 is the last og rundown left in the game.
Going from alt://r6 to ogr7 will leave you very confused if you didn't know this
is it accurate for me to say that the events of R7 do not occur for the ALT Team
No they dont.
ALT Team just goes R6D4 -> R8A1
It's predicated on schaeffer's rebellion and him deciding to pipe the conduit
Correct.
Alt://schaeffer decides to work with the warden, not rebell, and doesn't kill the conduit.
So why is it in ALT R6CX there is a dead Unit upstairs still
The main half of r7 is replacing the conduit schaeffer piped in the last rundown. No dead conduit, no need for replacement
It's said in the logs that that encounter happened a long time ago
Schaeffer watched a version of our quad approach it.
It was in the midst of a horde of sleepers
Combat ensued, the unit was dead and so were two of our teammembers
Worldline shenanigans
I'm on my phone rn so can't pull up the log, but I'm sure you can find it.
It's alt:// exclusive
The lazy answer to this is 10cc didn't want to make a new version of the tile to remove the corpse and blood n' stuff so they just threw in two new corpses (copies of pre-existing r8 corpses iirc) and wrote a log to explain it
gotcha
What's your working theory on how the MWP in OG R6D1 suddenly being in R7C2 Secondary
No idea.
Either a team brought it there and then it was flooded with sleepers,
Or shenanigans
I believe we've had this discussion before.
Yeah, my persistent theory is shenanigans as mentioned in the Stokes logs how the MWP sometimes just teleports by itself, being found elsewhere after
It grew up a pair of legs and walked
Shenanigans.
Such a useful term. We don't have to explain it and everyone already automatically knows what it means
"Some unexplained weird stuff don't question it"
in fact in the ALT timeline it warps to R8A1 and when touched looks like it might be the NM dimension?
not sure on that one tho
NM could be one of the worldlines linked to the alt mwp.
Like destination was the the og mwp
Maybe it's original worldline is NM dimension
Pretty much no way to prove anything because the amount of stuff goes +++++++
OG and alt are kind of simple to say what happens when and what goes where
R8 is... is.
rr8 :3
🍝
It does make me wonder what the dead quad on the floor in the final room of R8D1 is doing there
That was me, I placed it there for more environment flavor
Just a minimum number
tbh fully believe its red hearring
They’re just taking a nap guys
ALT Team never encounters Immortal
Why isn't there an immortal in r8e2?
Nop
It's got everything else
Or Big Flyers except in R6CX i think
An immortal wouldn't fit in E2
r8b2 sec
Oh right
Just like... five of them
Make somebody kite it
waah
Omg yes
r7e1 again ooor
still mourning the loss of #408196129470152706-media
anyone know how GTFO started?
idk much about the beginning, only teleportation and time paradox stuff of the game.
pinged dooc that explains lore fire fire
Meteor crashed into earth killed dinosaurs
It was actually a ship with aliens and a super virus in it
In the future iridium was very valuable as a metal so we dug into the meteor because we found a lot of it there
That's what the complex was for
But then we reached the alien ship and unleashed the virus and parasite into the complex and that's how it started
The disease got out
so the whole world is infected then?
Yeah
Everything outside the complex is basically dead
Like it's been dead for 5 years or something
The complex outlasted the world by a few years, then it fell too, then some time passed and after that the events of gtfo happen
There might be a few billionaires in bunkers still just having a good time but 99.9% of humanity is dead
i dont understand the final ending of the game, so the teleportation brought them to a different world?
in gtfo there are many different multiverses
parallel universes right
the virus that did all this had infected most of the "membranes" (parallel universes)
so after all these rundowns the prisoners (while being helped by the warden, and versions of themselves from another universe) found a clean world
and they teleported there
they gtfo'd into a clean membrane
now i feel bad the other parallel prisoners.
as you should
the fucked part is that the "good" quad of prisoners which did the right thing were they ones that were left to die
there are many many many membranes but the main ones the story takes place in are OG and ALT
ALT prisoners had a sane schaeffer, OG had an insane schaeffer
ALT tried to do the right thing, OG tried to destroy everything (until they rebelled)
OG were the ones that survived
They got brought to "jungle" dimension, the same place the ALT EF-01 expedition ended up in
The person talking to us is Durant, one of the members of the expedition
Also fun fact: the Bishop we play as isn't the original Bishop from their respective timeline
where did that bishop go anyway
did they get switched or is it a whole another frank
I think both ended up in dimension
Unclear but its possible that there's just a 2nd Bishop in the EF01 dimension when the team arrives
When He gets teleported back from to Garganta after the EF01 stuff in 2055, they find another mask with his DNA on it. Never really gets explained but there's the potential that the Bishop we play as isn't originally from the ALT dimension
I remembered that it's the alt line since I actually read the log in gams myself lol
but since they have 2 masks in alt then that means there are 2 bishops somewhere out there
or one just left w/o his mask
One just doesn't have a mask
we *thought there was a shit ton of iridium.
turns out it was mostly cretasium
cretasium 77a: 38.60%
oxygen: 27.34%
silicon: 12.12%
aluminum: 5.13%
iridium: 3.32%
sodium: 3.26%
calcium: 2.57%
potassium: 2.10%
magnesium: 2.03%
titanium: 1.14%
hydrogen: 0.93%
phosphorous: 0.77%
carbon: 0.54%
Never gets brought up after the 1 Nolan Connor log though so mainly just leads to theories on if Bishop is the same Bishop or not
it was mainly veretasium down there actually
cretasium is a super strong alien alloy. the ship and the artifacts are made of it
wonder why they couldn't analyse that
so we detected iridium in the cretasium, correct?
at this point? yes. everyone dead.
i do not remember... but yes... i think so.
oh no sorry
no i'm guessing the cretasium just looked like irridium on the imaging tech
no I just read the list
i think cretasium has some iridium in it
or wait maybe
we know what cretasium is?
regardless, they found waaaay less than they thought was down here
yeah since on the list it's just 3%
smh
Was too deep in the ground. Andrew Clinton tells Janson Davies that they have an estimate on the size of the vein but cant analyze better till they dig deeper (the 1500m goal)
didn't even get the investor's ROI out of the complex
the found waaaay more than they could chew actually
that was even the point
Was trace amounts (Dr. Stokes report)
dude we went 4020m down wym
thank you. you've saved me 5 minutes searching for the log
now i can scroll back up
R4 or 5 I think
I know the logs not which level their in lol
we have absolutely no idea. we also have no idea where the current alt://bishop is from.
They continued to dig after the goal given to pit bosses of 1500m to get a better scan of the vein. Everything after that is mainly digging for project Insight with Irridium taking the sideline
he went to disneyland and got trapped under 43 maxxed out credit cards trying to find the exit
well, it's probable that that bishop is still with durant and co on jungle,
but we cant confirm
I guess just from some unnamed membrane if he's not the alt
og is where he should be, so can't be him
yeah, this is what i think is most likely.
i want a game where you play as the daylight mission guys
and you just explore around
and then go in the complex and just die
It could be (this is 100% just theoretical) the Nightmare Bishop, and the Bishop we play as there, is the ALT one
so nBishop just hangs out somewhere and propably dies while we play as altBishop?
honestly sounds reasonable to me
me want ancent mayan jungle gam.
just green hell with pablos
You want 2011 non CGI The Thing
that would have to be extreme skill floor game to be accurate
i know they have in in their vaults somewhere. would instantly turn a 4/10 movie into 8/10, at least
i wished GTFO had a smaller brother game which was singleplayer like a roguelike or something
the solo mission archive
with random rooms
btw did you watch all of those clips i sent you?
i had completely forgotten about it
meant for fustercluck
i am not an AI LLM
From the footage available, yes
Yeah, watched them while filing people's taxes lol
@eternal talon the symbols in R6B1 in Destination (comparing OG and ALT) are that of the Jump/Warp Gate Launch Platform
(Was told by observant modded server folk)
I will simply not accept that given it is contradictory to every other jump instance in the game.

Behi...
but here's the thing right
lol
I will give you closure on why ALT and OG look different: it's because with R7 the Sand texture asset was updated and it was not fixed for that spot's detail, which is why you think it looks faded/worse in ALT
It's almost as if they are naked
Hmmmmmmmm
zlawg i walk around naked
who knows how freaky the sleepers are
or maybe the eat it for all i know
I was the one who took off their clothes
Are we allowed to talk about possible spoiler lore log questions in here?
Generally you’re allowed to talk about any spoilers since the game has been finished for a couple years
Whats the lore with viola and schaeffer? Wasn’t there logs about her killing their baby? Is that where the whole schaeffer viola lore ends?
not the same John
How can you know/confirm that?
There are a couple logs referring to the same John along this plotline, but it's not John Schaeffer
Different voice & occupation
1st- it says on logs
2- John is a very common name
Literally John Doe
Is it a deer by the name of john 🤔
Poor gal
That must have sucked
I like to imagine that it saved her own life but uh
Proooobably not
It's still interesting that this happened before real symptoms of namv on the body
Other than the massive trauma she seemed fine
Does anyone have the google map for how big the complex is? I have dragged a friend to hell with me
Nvm found it
@craggy spade so basically it's like an alternate dimension that we, the player, play as
it's like storytelling from other pov's?
because other people are in gargantha
yeah exactly
others are searching for dimensions
?
and in r6d1 before we get to the nemesis part
when we open the evil door here's a guy talking
is that schaufer
or the other henrickson or wt guy
I can't remember anymore, because there is also Hendrickson but I don't know anymore
ight
R1D1 loadout
Henriksson isn't a part of the story until R7C1
What you hear in R6D1 is a Conduit (Unit)
Maddox isn't a part of the story until R7A1
R7 does not occur for the ALT Team, only the OG Team
So Henriksson and Maddox are still asleep in their membrane (presuming nothing else happened to them)
I haven't even heard of Maddox yet
Nvm I fucked it
I didnt read bruh
i only know about maddox from cod
the gun
😭
so wait
what exactly is og and alt
are alt the yellow levels
i mean og
OG: OG R6D4 -> R7A1 (then the rest of the R7) -> R8A2
ALT: ALT//: R6D4 -> sleeping in Hydrostasis -> R8A1
Alt is prob random prisoners while OG are the 4 main prisoners
in-game term is membrane but yes
so the rundowns will have an alt or og tag in the nakme
name
and that's when we know which team is really playing
lorewise
yes
you cannot play OG R1-R6 anymore though
only the ALT versions remain
level layouts were slightly different, logs were different
no they were added after R7
no
the game hasn't been updated for almost 2 years
🥀
I mean we alredy have OG and ALT sides of R8 don't we
With the two seperate paths
We don't rlly need alt R8 so there is gonna be 4 paths atp
the 2 paths in r8 are og and alt?
OG R1 -> OG R2 -> OG R3 -> OG R4 -> OG R5 -> OG R6 -> OG R7 -> ALT R1 -> ALT R2 -> ALT R3 -> ALT R4 -> ALT R5 -> ALT R6 -> R8 was the release order but canonically:
OG R1 -> OG R2 -> OG R3 -> OG R4 -> OG R5 -> OG R6 -> OG R7 -> R8
ALT R1 -> ALT R2 -> ALT R3 -> ALT R4 -> ALT R5 -> ALT R6 -> R8
left side of R8 is ALT right side is OG
So we are two teams constantly trying to escape at the same time that is something
and sorry for the upcoming stupid question im just making sure
so
yellow levels are
alt
you aren't actively trying to escape until like late R6
yellow levels are Story Focus levels
oh
they have nothing to do with being OG or ALT
oh ight mb
just lots of dialogue
ok i get it now
alt is revorked after r7 released; r8, og and alt have different teams of prisoners playing but in different dimensions
yes
ok next question
R6A1 is hunt for matter wave projector, R6C1 is bringing some data cubes idfk what those are and R6D1 where we get caught at the evil door about to use matter wave projector to the nemesis arena
who is john, hendrickson and henke, and what do they want from us
basically the nemesis arena is another team
in another membrane
Hendrickson was a guy who died
I feel like we will all perish at the end but yeah we haven't started R8 yet
John was either an ally or enemy to the warden depending on if he was the alt or og
in alt
Schaeffer is a defected KSO because his team was killed and guides us along to escape
kso?
ah
Later brainwashed soldiers
prisoners
he was on the shaeffer bord in R6BX (former CX), so at least he got mentioned 
Henrikson was hackerman
I did remember I heard the mf but I forgot which mission yeah
"He is an engineer. Noone would call themselves a hacker"
Just your standard mechanical engineer
dawg did the joke just go over your head? 🥀
Who woke up with turbo dementia but still took down the most advanced system ever devised
ok so hendrickson is a guy on john's team that died
No
He killed him
john is a guy trying to help us escape in alt and in og he helps us destroy everything apparently
John killed henrikson
oh
spoilers wtf
With the trusty metal pipe
why are you here
Luci always gets too fucking curios
how many johns could a johnjohn john if a johnjohn could john johns
2
yes
dude
omg you gotta stop with this
seriously
it's so annoying
like please stop
it's not 2
it's yes
like bro
dude you seriously gotta stop with the ragebait
So the maximum amount of johns is 2 johns
good luck in rundown 7 prisoner
So OG Sheaffer goes nuts really fast
PRISONERS
Idk why
I HAVE A WAY TO OPEN THAT DOOR FOR YOU
I don't even know what the plan was honestly
and other assorted john dialogue™
john is a treat
treat or threat
Og John's plan to destroy everything was stupid
of course
t(h)reat
insane one at least
treat for pablo
The only thing it actually did was fuck up the sleepers
In the stupidest way possible
promoted from complex madman to pablo treat
wait what exactly did he try to destroy
everything
The complex
fuck the warden
We're gonna burn his house down
pillars of rooms and facilities underground
EhehehahahahahahHHHahahaha
you have to be careful when spelling names due to membranes having different spellings
I think he was trying to cause a nuclear meltdown
Sheaffer decided to cause a nuclear meltdown at the biggest reactor in the area
Which didn't so shit
In OG membrane, the name is Klas Henriksson
Except all the alarms started blasting everywhere
So everything is awake now
Smartest move ever by john
what is bro on about
so we will have perm alarms throughout all of og r8
and alt?
Kind of
We don't know because Klas is never encountered in ALT
oh
You do have some levels with perm alarms
it's a john man show in alt
so og john became crazy
had this discussion regarding Woods first name being Isaiah vs Isiah as well
tried destroying everything
and fucked us up
and now we're escaping from the mess in og
Yeah
alt john killed og john..?
Basically the two main people who tried to help us
og john (me) killed alt john (, a shitter version)
Just kus
now how
they met
how if they're from different membranes
They die anyway
i mean
Yeah I feel like ending of the game will be us perishing
3 membranes collapsed into one at the start of r8 idk how
Alt Og and nightmare became one
3 might be underselling it
nightmare?
shit's a mess
Prob some Matter Wave Projector jerkling
that explains why nightmare enemies only in r8
The reason we get special fucked up monsters in r8 and the dimension we can go to in 8a2 secondary
I heard abt nightmare enemies but like
What caused that
It's named the nightmare dimension because if the complex is 10/10 fucked ip
Type of mutation to only appear throughout R8
Nightmare is 50/10
And not other sectors
so in r8a1 when we pick up the matterwave projector it sends us to a closed off room
is that og membrane?
The dimension that had those monsters was added into the dimension r8 takes place in
so from whati understood nightmare is another universe
og alt and nightmare are 3 universes
no, its presumably the Nightmare membrane
imagine they combined
The universe that had nightmare sleepers got added to our own
So we fucked smth up with Matter Wave Projector and brought nightmares upon our comprehension
Yes
We collapsed alt og and nightmare membranes into one, maybe others too we dunno
that came somehow from another universe
Also like Matter Wave Projector is Alien Tech right?
Yes
ok now who is henke
Idk who henke is
These are all of Schaeffer's names across known membranes shown in-game:
John Schaeffer
John Wegner
John Kondratova
John Lanning
John Southwell
John Keech
John McLaughlin
John Lange
John Haney
John Schultz
John Herberg
John Riva
John Powell
John Shapiro
John McAvoy
John Erkel
John Torres
John Harris
John Kovacs
John Lewis
John Delaunay
John Moreau
John Graves
John Dietrich
John Carraro```
I don't know
I wouldn't say that is gonna be a human being trying to help
my dad has a truck from carraro
holy peak
old ass truck
so on short
multiverse
spiderman into the spiderverse
except
With namv
ok and last question for tn
I don't even know why the warden bothered
uhh wait what did i want to ask rbuh
oh yeah
why are we prisoners
wtf did we do
mass murderers
Each one different things
to be prisoners in this multiversal corporation
let alone have to fight a virus that infected multiple universe
To even be inducted into the Legion program that would become Kovac Defense Services you had to be a severely messed up individual
compare them to a person irl
religious nutjob who shot his own batallion
ethicsless pharmacoscientist or something who chose HSU over being torn apart by sleepers
sociopath who shot innocent people
british dickhead who tried blackmailing the wrong people
Woods just mass murdered some soldiers and was arrested
Bishop tried to blackmail the richest man in the world
Hackett gunned down 20+ civilians and later felt guilt and volunteered for it (instead of killing himself)
Dauda experimented on humans and escaped the collapse of the complex by entering HSU to not get torn apart by sleepers
I did say we are playing as horrible ass people
Also who we were doesn't matter
yeah but i wanted to know what we did
We're just useful monkeys that press buttons now
i wanna ask what happens in the end but nah
This isn't purposeful punishment
and like
We do the thing
We prob fight till the end until we perish or MWP does something funny idk
who sends us down there
Because the warden has gender dysphoria and wants a new body basically
To communicate with john
so the warden is like al an in subnautica
Yes exactly
an ancient alien that doesn't have a body and wants help to get one
We spend i think
Jeez how many
R2 r3 and the start of r7 just making bodies for the warden
so that's what we need hormones and bezos for
Oh yeah R2 is all about prepping R2E1 for jeff bezos delivery right
Originally to mine iridium which was incredibly valuable in 2050
Dude I've been talking bout this shi alredy
Its a huge mine
A massive vein was found
a
It like mines through the meteor that killed dinosaurs
how did the warden take over tho
And what was found inside of it is Nam V which wipes humanity
He is part some top tier
Lvl 99 boss ass alien idk
eradicating species even after being in the depths of the earth 💔
Flyers💔
I could imagine warden as the nemesis but no idea
Idk we go PLAY
something thaat can infiltrate as a human
R7 AND R8 BRUH
Trial and error over years
We don't know
Its even cooler when we find it in close death situations am I right
oh
i realized smth
the flyers that came after we defeated nemesis came from the other dimension
I feel like warden is just like a huge hive mind and abusing us to do random shit throughout gargantha
so we basically made a portal with the matter wave projector
It's aliens
They're trying to help
A little
and with the matter wave projector we also fucked up and crashed dimensions into eachotehr
Spoilers for the end
Ok shit like hormone fetching quests I don't get
was it a joke or
for the body
I maybe get reactor missions
get on the TRT
To grow the body
you will understand
what's trt
testosterone replacement therapy
a
realized
I mean wtf did it even help with when most of the missions is jst trying to help make the human body it could take
But it did manage
Stuff like reactor missions which bring power to other zones maybe
Talk to Schaeffer
And the vessel also is invisible to sleepers which is useful
He did succeeded in ALT worldline with making Schaeffer help him
So it could do missions for free potentially
I want a detailed look at how the outside world fell
We know that at least 7 billion died
Idk about the rest
so the warden is like a good guy
