#

What a cool guy

regal olive
#

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

#

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

raw terrace
#

hoow fast tho i no remember the conversion

regal olive
#

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

#

What do you want from me

#

Dr. Durant peacefully carving wood figurines and living in a hut

#

Our quad:

raw terrace
#

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

regal olive
#

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

raw terrace
#

also do we even know when gtfo e2 happens

regal olive
#

It is but it also flows slow in jungle

raw terrace
#

slow but we dont know the rate

regal olive
#

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

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?

past vessel
#

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)

kindred forum
# past vessel It was only NAM-V that escaped, no Parasite (in ALT specifically). AFAIK, Sleepe...

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?

ionic dune
#

oooh you meant like that, if i remember correctly it doesnt affect animals

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

The most unaffected living beings are plants since they just keep spreading out the virus

#

If im correct

#

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

That's dead plants isn't 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

eternal talon
# regal olive Thems what the wiki do be sayin

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

regal olive
#

I'm confused now

eternal talon
#

how?

regal olive
#

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

eternal talon
#

OG://ef01 went to destination.

regal olive
#

There 2 bishops in the ending

#

Holy shit

#

They can play chess with each other

#

And draw every time

eternal talon
#

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.

regal olive

He's still out there

eternal talon
#

there are many dead members of our squad in r8 (including several bishops)

regal olive
#

So there are verifiably 2 bishops in the jungle now

eternal talon
#

this instance is just only occuring over text so i could see how it might be a bit confusing

regal olive
#

I wonder what that would be like

eternal talon
#

playable alt:// bishop = wildcard bishop

regal olive
#

Seeing yourself dead

eternal talon
#

actual alt://bishop probably playing jungle survival simulator

regal olive
#

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

regal olive
eternal talon
# regal olive It's said that time passes much faster in the jungle membrane

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.

regal olive
#

Not the quantum tether

#

:v

eternal talon
#

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

eternal talon
#

it's possible it could be ANOTHER ef01 expedition to ANOTHER dimension

eternal talon
#

depends on how pepe silvia you want to go

regal olive
#

I want

#

To not die of a heart attack

eternal talon
#

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

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.

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.

#

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.

elder sable
#

no it isnt scrapped just that you don't get the full picture just from that

eternal talon
#

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.

its right here

and then another a couple meters to the left on the same rock formation

eternal talon
#

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.

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.

copper pine
#

And never give up

past vessel
#

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)

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

ALT Team just goes R6D4 -> R8A1

It's predicated on schaeffer's rebellion and him deciding to pipe 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

Why isn't there an immortal in r8e2?

Nop

It's got everything else

royal crow

Oh wait

I read your question wrong

An immortal wouldn't fit in E2

#

anyone know how GTFO started?

#

idk much about the beginning, only teleportation and time paradox stuff of the game.

raw terrace
regal olive
#

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

autumn crane
regal olive
#

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

autumn crane
regal olive
#

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

autumn crane
#

now i feel bad the other parallel prisoners.

regal olive
#

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

royal crow
#

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

severe fulcrum
#

where did that bishop go anyway

#

did they get switched or is it a whole another frank

ionic dune

#

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

eternal talon
#

pdf and txt in pins....

#

now i read chat

thin surge
eternal talon
#

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%

thin surge
regal olive
#

it was mainly veretasium down there actually

eternal talon
#

cretasium is a super strong alien alloy. the ship and the artifacts are made of it

regal olive
#

wonder why they couldn't analyse that

severe fulcrum
#

so we detected iridium in the cretasium, correct?

eternal talon
eternal talon
severe fulcrum
#

oh no sorry

regal olive
#

no i'm guessing the cretasium just looked like irridium on the imaging tech

severe fulcrum
#

no I just read the list

eternal talon
#

i think cretasium has some iridium in it

severe fulcrum
#

or wait maybe

regal olive
#

we know what cretasium is?

eternal talon
#

regardless, they found waaaay less than they thought was down here

severe fulcrum
#

yeah since on the list it's just 3%

regal olive
#

smh

thin surge
regal olive
#

didn't even get the investor's ROI out of the complex

severe fulcrum
regal olive
#

that was even the point

thin surge
regal olive
#

dude we went 4020m down wym

eternal talon
#

now i can scroll back up

thin surge
#

I know the logs not which level their in lol

eternal talon
thin surge
# regal olive dude we went 4020m down wym

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

regal olive
#

he went to disneyland and got trapped under 43 maxxed out credit cards trying to find the exit

eternal talon
#

well, it's probable that that bishop is still with durant and co on jungle,

#

but we cant confirm

severe fulcrum
#

og is where he should be, so can't be him

eternal talon
regal olive
#

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

thin surge
severe fulcrum
#

so nBishop just hangs out somewhere and propably dies while we play as altBishop?

#

honestly sounds reasonable to me

eternal talon
#

me want ancent mayan jungle gam.

severe fulcrum
#

just green hell with pablos

thin surge
eternal talon
#

give me the pilot cut already.

severe fulcrum
#

that would have to be extreme skill floor game to be accurate

eternal talon
#

i know they have in in their vaults somewhere. would instantly turn a 4/10 movie into 8/10, at least

regal olive
#

i wished GTFO had a smaller brother game which was singleplayer like a roguelike or something

severe fulcrum
#

the solo mission archive

regal olive
#

with random rooms

eternal talon
#

btw did you watch all of those clips i sent you?

#

i had completely forgotten about it

regal olive
#

yes i watched all of them

very interesting stuff

#

@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)

eternal talon
#

I will simply not accept that given it is contradictory to every other jump instance in the game.

#

(but i'm not the be-all, end-all of GTFO-Lore. believe what you want to believe that has the evidence to support it)

#

agree to disagree?

eternal talon
# regal olive yes i watched all of them

Are we allowed to talk about possible spoiler lore log questions in here?

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?

dusty quiver

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

Literally John Doe

ionic dune

Is it a deer by the name of john 🤔

regal olive
#

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

plush nest
#

Does anyone have the google map for how big the complex is? I have dragged a friend to hell with me

#

Nvm found it

vernal veldt
#

@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

craggy spade
vernal veldt
#

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

craggy spade
#

I can't remember anymore, because there is also Hendrickson but I don't know anymore

vernal veldt
#

ight

ionic dune
#

R1D1 loadout

solid swan
#

It is

#

Henrickson

past vessel
#

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)

solid swan
#

Nvm I fucked it

#

I didnt read bruh

vernal veldt
#

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

past vessel
#

OG: OG R6D4 -> R7A1 (then the rest of the R7) -> R8A2
ALT: ALT//: R6D4 -> sleeping in Hydrostasis -> R8A1

solid swan
past vessel
#

ALT and OG Teams are the same people

#

Woods Dauda Hackett Bishop

vernal veldt
#

different timelines?

#

i mean dimensions

#

wtv

#

desert people and non desart people

past vessel
#

in-game term is membrane but yes

vernal veldt
#

so the membrane is basically

#

universe

past vessel
#

desert is its own membrane

#

yes

vernal veldt
#

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

past vessel
#

yes

#

you cannot play OG R1-R6 anymore though

#

only the ALT versions remain

#

level layouts were slightly different, logs were different

vernal veldt
#

ok i see

#

so alt is like revorked levels

#

after r8 released

past vessel
#

no they were added after R7

vernal veldt
#

yeah r7 mb

#

will r7 and r8 get alt as well

past vessel
#

no

vernal veldt
#

or is it gonna stay like that for the story

#

oh ight

past vessel
#

the game hasn't been updated for almost 2 years

vernal veldt
#

🥀

solid swan
#

With the two seperate paths

#

We don't rlly need alt R8 so there is gonna be 4 paths atp

vernal veldt
#

the 2 paths in r8 are og and alt?

past vessel
#

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

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

and sorry for the upcoming stupid question im just making sure

#

so

#

yellow levels are

#

alt

past vessel
#

you aren't actively trying to escape until like late R6

#

yellow levels are Story Focus levels

vernal veldt
#

oh

past vessel
#

they have nothing to do with being OG or ALT

vernal veldt
#

oh ight mb

past vessel
#

just lots of dialogue

vernal veldt
#

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

past vessel
#

yes

vernal veldt
#

ok next question

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

who is john, hendrickson and henke, and what do they want from us

vernal veldt
vernal veldt
#

in another membrane

regal olive
#

Hendrickson was a guy who died

solid swan
regal olive
#

John was either an ally or enemy to the warden depending on if he was the alt or og

vernal veldt
#

in alt

past vessel
#

Schaeffer is a defected KSO because his team was killed and guides us along to escape

vernal veldt
#

kso?

regal olive
#

Or destroy everything

#

Kovak security operative

#

Paid soldier

vernal veldt
#

ah

regal olive
#

Later brainwashed soldiers

past vessel
#

prisoners

honest summit
regal olive
#

Henrikson was hackerman

vernal veldt
#

in r6d1 john is talking to us right?

#

at the last door

regal olive
#

Then the other guy john tried to wake up just died

#

He was an engineer or something

solid swan
honest summit
regal olive
#

Singlehandedly hacks biocom without access to google

#

Not a hacker

#

Okay sure guy

vernal veldt
#

yes

#

it's an engineer

#

👍

regal olive
#

Just your standard mechanical engineer

honest summit
regal olive
#

Who woke up with turbo dementia but still took down the most advanced system ever devised

vernal veldt
#

ok so hendrickson is a guy on john's team that died

regal olive
vernal veldt
#

john is a guy trying to help us escape in alt and in og he helps us destroy everything apparently

regal olive
#

John killed henrikson

vernal veldt
#

oh

loud urchin
#

regal olive
#

With the trusty metal pipe

loud urchin
#

i didn't get that far yet

how many johns could a johnjohn john if a johnjohn could john johns

regal olive
#

vernal veldt
#

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

regal olive
#

The answer is 2

#

There's 2 johns

vernal veldt
#

dude you seriously gotta stop with the ragebait

regal olive
#

So the maximum amount of johns is 2 johns

vernal veldt
#

ok im stopping

#

why did john kill henrik

loud urchin
#

good luck in rundown 7 prisoner

regal olive
#

So OG Sheaffer goes nuts really fast

loud urchin

PRISONERS

regal olive

Idk why

loud urchin
#

I HAVE A WAY TO OPEN THAT DOOR FOR YOU

I don't even know what the plan was honestly

loud urchin
#

and other assorted john dialogue™

vernal veldt
#

"TM"

#

😭

loud urchin
#

john is a treat

vernal veldt
#

treat or threat

regal olive
#

Og John's plan to destroy everything was stupid

blissful kraken
loud urchin
blissful kraken
#

insane one at least

vernal veldt
#

treat for pablo

regal olive
#

The only thing it actually did was fuck up the sleepers

#

In the stupidest way possible

blissful kraken
vernal veldt
#

wait what exactly did he try to destroy

loud urchin
#

everything

regal olive
#

The complex

vernal veldt
#

wdym by "everything"

#

how

#

isn't it like

loud urchin
#

fuck the warden

regal olive
#

We're gonna burn his house down

vernal veldt
#

pillars of rooms and facilities underground

regal olive
#

EhehehahahahahahHHHahahaha

past vessel
#

you have to be careful when spelling names due to membranes having different spellings

blissful kraken
#

I think he was trying to cause a nuclear meltdown

regal olive
#

Sheaffer decided to cause a nuclear meltdown at the biggest reactor in the area

#

Which didn't so shit

past vessel
#

In OG membrane, the name is Klas Henriksson

regal olive
#

Except all the alarms started blasting everywhere

#

So everything is awake now

#

Smartest move ever by john

blissful kraken
#

what is bro on about

vernal veldt
vernal veldt
regal olive
#

Kind of

past vessel
vernal veldt
#

oh

regal olive
#

You do have some levels with perm alarms

loud urchin
#

it's a john man show in alt

vernal veldt
#

so og john became crazy

regal olive
#

Yes

#

Alt john stayed good

past vessel
#

had this discussion regarding Woods first name being Isaiah vs Isiah as well

vernal veldt
#

tried destroying everything

regal olive
#

Like a dumbass

#

Also john killed himself

vernal veldt
#

and fucked us up

regal olive
#

Not in the suicide way

#

John killed john

vernal veldt
#

and now we're escaping from the mess in og

regal olive
#

Yeah

vernal veldt
#

alt john killed og john..?

regal olive
#

Og john killed alt john

#

With the trusty METAL PIPE BABY

#

WOOOO

#

3 FOR 3

solid swan
#

Basically the two main people who tried to help us

loud urchin
#

og john (me) killed alt john (, a shitter version)

solid swan
#

Just kus

vernal veldt
#

now how

loud urchin
#

or alternatively you kill them both

#

because yeah why not

regal olive
#

they met

vernal veldt
#

how if they're from different membranes

regal olive
#

They die anyway

vernal veldt
#

i mean

solid swan
#

Yeah I feel like ending of the game will be us perishing

regal olive
#

Alt Og and nightmare became one

loud urchin
#

3 might be underselling it

vernal veldt
#

nightmare?

loud urchin
#

shit's a mess

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

that explains why nightmare enemies only in r8

regal olive
solid swan
#

What caused that

regal olive
#

It's named the nightmare dimension because if the complex is 10/10 fucked ip

solid swan
#

Type of mutation to only appear throughout R8

regal olive
#

Nightmare is 50/10

solid swan
#

And not other sectors

vernal veldt
#

so in r8a1 when we pick up the matterwave projector it sends us to a closed off room

#

is that og membrane?

regal olive
vernal veldt
#

og alt and nightmare are 3 universes

past vessel
#

no, its presumably the Nightmare membrane

vernal veldt
#

imagine they combined

regal olive
#

The universe that had nightmare sleepers got added to our own

solid swan
regal olive
#

Yes

vernal veldt
#

so we fucked the whole space

#

with a rock

regal olive
#

We collapsed alt og and nightmare membranes into one, maybe others too we dunno

vernal veldt
#

that came somehow from another universe

solid swan
#

Also like Matter Wave Projector is Alien Tech right?

regal olive
#

Yes

vernal veldt
#

ok now who is henke

regal olive
#

Idk who henke is

vernal veldt
#

i found this in the game files

#

moth told us we'll meet him in r7e1

regal olive
#

Uuh

regal olive

Yeah

#

Quite sad to be honest

vernal veldt
#

ok and last question for tn

regal olive
#

I don't even know why the warden bothered

vernal veldt
#

uhh wait what did i want to ask rbuh

#

oh yeah

#

why are we prisoners

#

wtf did we do

past vessel
#

mass murderers

regal olive
#

Each one different things

vernal veldt
#

to be prisoners in this multiversal corporation

#

let alone have to fight a virus that infected multiple universe

past vessel
#

To even be inducted into the Legion program that would become Kovac Defense Services you had to be a severely messed up individual

vernal veldt
#

compare them to a person irl

loud urchin
#

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

regal olive
#

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

loud urchin
#

the dauda in alt is slightly different

#

but ALT dauda is LAME

vernal veldt
#

why

#

and basically it's like jojo

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

like

#

yeah wtv

#

forget it

regal olive
#

Also who we were doesn't matter

vernal veldt
regal olive
#

We're just useful monkeys that press buttons now

vernal veldt
#

i wanna ask what happens in the end but nah

regal olive
#

This isn't purposeful punishment

vernal veldt
#

and like

regal olive
vernal veldt
#

why are we getting osips and hsu's and neonates and allat

#

for who

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

who sends us down there

regal olive
#

To communicate with john

vernal veldt
#

so the warden is like al an in subnautica

regal olive
#

Yes exactly

vernal veldt
#

an ancient alien that doesn't have a body and wants help to get one

regal olive
#

We spend i think

#

Jeez how many

#

R2 r3 and the start of r7 just making bodies for the warden

vernal veldt
#

so that's what we need hormones and bezos for

regal olive
#

R1 is debatable and r4 is debatable

#

Yes

solid swan
regal olive
#

Yes

#

R2s entire point is e1 which is baby bezos

vernal veldt
#

why were the complexes built

#

only for that?

regal olive
#

Originally to mine iridium which was incredibly valuable in 2050

solid swan
#

Its a huge mine

regal olive
#

A massive vein was found

vernal veldt
#

a

solid swan
#

It like mines through the meteor that killed dinosaurs

vernal veldt
#

how did the warden take over tho

solid swan
#

And what was found inside of it is Nam V which wipes humanity

solid swan
#

Lvl 99 boss ass alien idk

vernal veldt
vernal veldt
#

what kind of alien are we talking about

vernal veldt
#

humanoid intelligent or some active hive mind

#

like

solid swan
#

I could imagine warden as the nemesis but no idea

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

something thaat can infiltrate as a human

solid swan
#

R7 AND R8 BRUH

vernal veldt
#

or smth taht takes over human's minds

#

ok bro mabah

#

it's so cool tho

regal olive
#

We don't know

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

i realized smth

#

the flyers that came after we defeated nemesis came from the other dimension

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

so we basically made a portal with the matter wave projector

regal olive
#

They're trying to help

#

A little

vernal veldt
#

and with the matter wave projector we also fucked up and crashed dimensions into eachotehr

vernal veldt
#

😭

#

nvm the joke flew over my head

regal olive
#

Spoilers for the end

solid swan
vernal veldt
#

was it a joke or

vernal veldt
solid swan
#

I maybe get reactor missions

loud urchin
regal olive
loud urchin
#

you will understand

vernal veldt
#

what's trt

loud urchin
#

testosterone replacement therapy

vernal veldt
#

a

regal olive
#

Not actually an in game lore thing

#

To be clear

vernal veldt
#

realized

regal olive
#

The warden was trying to do its best to help out

#

Which we couldn't know of course

solid swan
regal olive
#

But it did manage

solid swan
#

Stuff like reactor missions which bring power to other zones maybe

regal olive
#

And the vessel also is invisible to sleepers which is useful

royal crow
regal olive
#
