@eternal talon
I agree, hence why I stated what I said above in that the colonies are essentially just sentries and guards while the thing does what it does
eternal talon
I don't know what some sort of hive mind would do buried under a crater for millions of years, let alone after. It must be very boring
lilac island
No they’d be very sleepy and angry that people woke them up so they kill everything so they can have some nice sleepy times
charred tiger
Wouldn't you be angry if you woke up from a nap to see some hairless monkeys poking you?
lilac island
I mean I’d be surprised
Itd be the first time that’s ever happened
But maybe there’d be a bit of angry in there
opal perch
wish i could say the same
tall anchor
what game was it for
oh that one?
I’ve not watched it in a while
and it’s possible it could be outdated info
Maybe he means playable + shooter/striker
harsh spoke
ooooo infection\
so maybe we'll see some slightly more human looking enemies?
Maybe we got it all wrong and the people aren't trying to what's in the facility IN but trying to keep what outside the facility OUT
marsh lagoon
nah, more likely we'll find worse mutation I think
at least if we are to take the picture into account
was thinking of this thing
what could it be?
fair lion
more infected is a fact but it's not a counter argument
marsh lagoon
it is not

things gonna drop on me and give me depression cuddles huh?
stable urchin
That too, tho i can do that for ya
marsh lagoon
either way. it's gonna be intresting to see what it if. if it's actually something in the roof, or if it's a huge enemy
wraith matrix
It's probably gonna be a stationary large boss puzzle
Likely the source or one of the sources of infection
analog nexus
think maybe if it is a hivemind, instead of using pheremones like current hiveminds we know of, instead it uses sound?
tall anchor
I know it’s coded like a hive mind but that says nothing
considering it’s just an optimization thing

people earlier were talking about the concept of it being a hivemind
i know its extrememly improbable
but i like hiveminds

ya I don't trust dauda that much
fervent iris
he givin us all bad vibes

then why does Bishop sound like Conor and not me
wide talon
am i the first person to see this?
acoustic quest
what im seeing ?
wide talon
its on steam Rundown 2 has a release date!!
acoustic quest
ah we already knew
gtfo had a small update showing the release cuntdown
wide talon
jheez i haven't played the game in that long i never saw it
acoustic quest
dont worry cutie
wide talon
I feel like the discord should announce it
acoustic quest
mmh well yeah
fervent iris
also community locked expeditions
frail pollen
It was announced on Twitter, #social-feed, ambassador email, and I plan to put in #game-announcements soon
fervent iris
also i was looking into an old audio blog and
theres this thing called the snatcher that like "eats" the player or smth and the player can be in its mouth? idk im just pulling shit from an old voiceline

why would they need to hide that

I think they had both, but weren't hiding either.
fervent iris
or atleast hiding the reasearch, disguising it as mining, idk what the public in this game knows

faint minnow
Alright, so, new to the game here. What all do we know lorewise cuz it doesn't seem to be a lot
foggy bane
Aliens, Zombies, Infection, Parasite, Fungus, or something else?
fervent iris
not rest of humanity
faint minnow
Just us?
fervent iris
they're well contained in the complex
the warden wants us to carry out expeditions into the complex
but the sleepers are straight vibing
till we
then they stop sleeping and are active
they are naturally hostile to ppl
so thats why they attack us
we are prisoners forced down into the complex
to carry out objectives for some greater purpose
wither its exploration, figuring what turned the complex into a total shit show, or somthing else
maybe to regain control of the complex
who knows really
since the game takes place in the chicxulub crater its speculated that the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs ~65 million years ago, is what brought the sleepers to earth
ever since the complex was created atop the crater to research the sleepers and the minerals from the asteroid
but something went wrong and the sleepers took over
the sleepers are most likely a parasitic infection, but this is unconfirmed
and infection from the complex may cause the parasite to take over the host, this is why its important to the warden to dispose of prisoners that are seriously infected, to leave them to turn into the sleepers, to "retire" them
once the parasite takes over the host, mutation begin to occur, seemingly based on the hosts gender too
faint minnow
oh?
fervent iris
females once infected turn into basic shooters, and down the line other types of sleepers with female characteristics like the scout our big shooters
same with males turning into basic strikers
however, there are other enemies which do not seem of human origin (see e3 trailer), and there seems to be far too many enemies for how many prisoners succumb to the infection
so there must be a way for them to reproduce, like the egg looking things you can see at the beginning of the documentary video
the human-origin infected may also be complex personnel pre-shit hitting the fan
faint minnow
Alright, alright
fervent iris
and the "eggs" enemies drop when killed that bursts into a small puddle, to release spores to potentially infect others
and other enemies that probably arrived once the asteroid landed
surreal swift
see this is why we gotta keep the petroleum industry even if the world does go electric
gotta kill it with fire

So exterminatus up in this bitch

what im asking for is fire
it should leave everything except

but theres so much interesting stuff down there!!
actually speaking of fire the military made a directed microwave projector thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmuyLIrSjxI

hoary meteor
midnight spoke
They've been around for ages, they're used more for covert operations due to the nature of the weapon
Taking one into a battlefield could lead it to be taken out by ranged projectiles
But using it in covert ops to affect people without them knowing the source is highly useful
They actually think one was used on politicians in Brazil at a point
midnight spoke
The portable mmmmmmm
fair lion
laughs in KF2
frail sand
btw @fervent iris , pretty sure parasitic infections such as this one can't be airborne, (but correct if I'm wrong on this, bc as far as I can think off the top of my head, I can't think of airborne parasites), so like how it is in Alien, it probably houses the actual parasite, and they are capable of burrowing into defenseless hosts.
Also, the reason why I am certain it's a parasitic infection, like how you said it's most likely this kind of infection, is because of the characteristics of the infection, the environment it's in, and the way it seems to be transmitted
fair lion
the prisoners are infected, wdym defenseless?
surreal swift
"oh shit... im dEfenSElEeeSS" -woods getting his ass handed to him, 2020

You do realise I was talking about every other person in the facility that got infected?
And besides, considering the weapons we get, we're lucky that they work as intended
hot burrow
whats going on here
frail sand
I honestly don't know anymore XD
lilac island
I like the weapon design
Seems like something made in a machine shop by a dude with a 3d printer and too much time on his hands
keen quest
can you read this
remote wharf
Yes
charred tiger
to be honest
the weapons are probably as cheap as military hardware can be considering you a prisoner with a 2.5% chance of actually living through the mission
stoic rock
@frail sand your pfp, oh yes
frail sand
Unrelated to lore but thank you 👍
frail sand
Also @lilac island @charred tiger , it’s repurposed mining equipment.
I can’t remember where it said it was this, but I am certain that this was stated somewhere.
frail sand
Oof
round valley
Really? I hadn't read that. They seem surprisingly effective for repurposed mining equipment. Though now I can't get the thought of bringing Dead Space's Plasma Cutter into the facility out of my head. 😮
fair lion
Our guns are repurposed mining equipment?
hollow bough
They could be metal and parts of mining equipment assembled into guns, but I think people were talking about the melee weapons to get the idea that they are repurposed mining equipment
charred tiger
oh yea i could see the sledges being things used to break rocks, might explain why there is such an abundance of prisoners too
though the firearms and such might just be from the cheapest bidder for "guard loadout"
scenic wagon
they remind me of something Metro:2033 would use
lilac island
I love the weapons in the game, they feel like forth rate equipment given just so we're slightly better then yeeting dead bodies into the facility
fair lion
right
and with that we kill thousands
so what with military grade we'd be gordon freemen
lilac island
So I got a question. Is it right to assume our characters are being cloned but somehow keeping memories each cloning via nightmares?
solar nova
That's highly speculative, and far less likely than our characters just being the same 4 people.
Just too convoluted to conclude cloning.
fair lion
our characters have already been in the complex before the game started right
being experienced you can kinda say that they survive through these missions, but the longer you stretch it the less plausible it is
they should die soon
solar nova
In 5-10 rundowns, I think it would be neat to change the cast and have this set canonically die
fair lion
the question is how though
get to a warden scan, deliver an objective, it goes up and you're left to fight against an infinite horde until you eventually die?
would help build the warden's personality without skipping deaths entirely and no cutscenes
my anime senses say the objective should be 4 hsus housing alive people that become the new characters 
onyx socket
there's also a bunch of stuff about cortex connections/HSUs so
the main characters could be some sort of clones/connected to different bodies
fair lion
i mean yeah heard that theory and can be true but the controlled bodies are still the same people
so the hsus we recover are some special people that can go further into the complex because reasons 
fair lion
wat
onyx socket
HSU, they're hydrostasis units
fair lion
i know but i didn't say anything about that
onyx socket
oh, you just did though
fair lion
what difference does it make in what i said whether they were put in hsu by force or voluntarily
onyx socket
well I doubt they were able to be put into hsus without a machine or something
so they'd have to be placed there and not like, walked there themselves and jumped in lol
fair lion
again, i didn't say anything about that
onyx socket
woops, my bad then
solar nova
I thoughts are closer to a traditional suicide mission (no expedition scan, an objective is completed that causes your entire team to die and you win) or an off-screen mission failure. You could also transition halfway through a rundown. Play as team A up to mission X, and the following mission, mission Y, features team B which is picking up after team A died some ways through. You could find team A's corpses or something.
fair lion
ye but think about the drama
latter scenario kinda lame also - killing our characters off-screen
but yes ofc many good ways to kill them
solar nova
Could make a two-part mission.
D1.1 and D1.2; D1.1 has an ending sequence that kills team A. D1.2 picks up afterwards, with all the preceding tasks complete, but is run by team B which replaces team A.
They'd need to implement a system where one mission is required to play other missions on the same level first, though.
fair lion
well warden's got plenty prisoners to kill i presume, enough scenarios for all of us 
solar nova
I guess the level system wouldn't need adjustments.
You could just have some way of displaying that D2 requires D1, for example.
So the levels would have tiering, B tier requires the entire A tier, but some levels on a tier might require other levels on that tier before they can be accessed.
Could also give them a way of gating levels that doesn't require upping the difficulty.
fair lion
i imagine that's already planned
fervent iris
ray stop right there
I cant change my pfp
and im sure the devs cant afford getting more actors and writers to script more characters
digital bronze
its confirmed sleepers are dinosaur??
solar nova
Nothing is confirmed.
lilac island
It's not confirmed that they're NOT
lilac island
I'm sticking with my idea that we're clones that are either being controlled or remember our previous drops into the facility via memories as nightmares
hot burrow
I think that the 4 characters are the wardens best
Every time we complete a dive he puts them back in the HSU and get a different team but that team fails he brings back the "best team" which is woods Dauda hackett and bishop.
that to
solar nova
Seems too implausible, the subsurface transmission is more likely from when the complex still had employees, not other prisoner teams that die before us every single expedition.
pulsar folio
The Warden (person? ai? group of ppl?) has several HSUs(clone tubes). They use these to make copies of/store their special ops team(The Prisoners). If a team dies they can send in a backup clone team. If a operative succeeds and is in good shape, they can make an updated backup of that operative.
Also has anyone considered that “The Warden” and “The Prisoners” might not actually be like a real warden and real prisoners
It could just be codenames/ranks
fervent iris
^
that would explain why dauda says "it comes every night without fail, there are different people every time, but they seem familiar"
since they were all cloned, they dont know each other directly, but depending on what level of cloning is going on, we retain our memory of our last expedition
this is why when we die, we learn
its almost fourth wall breaking
maybe the sub-surface transmission were our past selves
but they're just as likely just another team of prisoners
although Hsu-cloning seems unlikely, as HSU's (HydroStasis Unit) just seem to be a way to suspend prisoners between expeditions, it also seems to be a way that complex staff suspended their workers (pre-shit hitting the fan) until the workers were needed, this is why in A1 we head out to the Administrators HSU to gather DNA as the administrator is in hydrostasis suspension
round valley
I like this theory.
fervent iris
me no like
i want dauda to actually be mentally insane
instead of the warden able to just make him mentally normal
cause dauda big gay
round valley
oOf
ashen crypt
well, just like helldivers

fair lion
if clones are a thing, maybe 'prisoners' refers to clones
used for manual labour or whatever
no human rights n shit
onyx socket
could be some altered carbon stuff, where they're using other people's bodies
so they recognize each other but aren't technically the same person
lilac island
May I play devil's advocate for a sec?
fair lion
meaning
lilac island
I had the thought that what Dauda says in the trailer about his dreams might be just the result of trauma from his time in service, and we're reading into it too much from a lore perspective. I'm not that familiar with everything that's circulating as far as GTFO is concerned though, and I could be wrong.
fair lion
entirely possible
i'm having fun here with what-if scenarios rather than trying to actually find out what the lore is
don't have enough information for that
lilac island
Right right. The environmental storytelling that is currently there just has me jonesing to figure out what's actually going on. lol The HSU's intrigue me a lot, as does the mind-link stuff. When I first saw the trailer, I thought that the people Dauda references were the sleepers. He recognizes and realizes they were people once. It didn't occur to me that he could have been referencing people he'd worked with in the past/past selves/etc.
Do you think it's significant to the story that the site is on Chicxulub?
fair lion
as people say, it's probably the origin of whatever infection this is
if it is, that should also make the site the only source of this infection on Earth
lilac island
Seems like a solid assumption to me.
I mean if we're going down that route then that means either the infection/parasite was in the crust and the meteor opened up to it or the thing was in the meteor itself
dry owl
More in the crust. Very deep in the crust. Nothing could have survived in that meteor, when it fell on earth. The energy released on impact was immense.
fair lion
and being on the receiving end was any easier?
dry owl
Didnt say that. But if there are only those 2 possibilities then in the crust.
fair lion
maybe they're evolved tardigrades
faint minnow
Tardigrades as in Waterbears?
wintry elk
I think prisoner refer to "you who is a soul that is trapped in an endless amount of clone bodies"
and warden is the control protocol / AI that monitor everything while the prisoner is asleep
pulsar folio
We don’t know that “The Warden” is/are singular
sure only we on hear one voice from them

midnight spoke
Just a small reminder, they aren't aliens or zombies. Saying they're alien to us can lead to misunderstandings and whilst they're alien to us the players, Dauda and the information you find/see implies that they know a bit about it
Cloning is possible as a solution but it also takes away some of the edge of the fear factor imo. Some of the things mentioned implies that the group were betrayed by one of the 4 and that's why they're there, as well as that traitor being an ex employee of the company who owned the pit
lilac island
What information is found/seen? Does it occur during this rundown 1 (no spoilers) or external?
midnight spoke
A fair bit of it is external, if you go through the trailers, dev insights, Wikipedia etc it ends up with a fair bit. Also there's the information you get for every drop I.e. they react to light
They plan I'm adding more lore in rundowns as findable Intel last I knew
Though with the Wikipedia, be careful as it has spoilers
For the first rundown
And maybe an enemy or two from the second if they finished what was in the trailer
On the seeing thing note, try looking into the HSU pods, nearly everyone one of them has been infected by whatever is going on
night prawn

@midnight spoke I'll check it out, thanks!
Will we be able to play the first rundown after the second one drops? I saw something about unlocking previous environments?

I wonder if someday they will release a package with old Rundown as « gold edition » or something to play in LAN or with friend or those rundown will be forever forgotten.

I mean...I guess I mean the early acces Rundown for when official game comes out. I don’t feel like I’m playing a early acces games

ah i see what you mean
the game is already out, but its still in progress, but a base game is there already
hidden shale
Those level are really good...probably they will get awesome but I’m sad to think they will be whipe out forever
stoic rock
I dont think they'll be deleted
Well, thats just my personal opinion
If you lose the starting point then whats the point making the next one so hard already
If A1 in the next run down if super hard it'll turn new players away
A1 in the current one is perfect for newbies
Also
Rundown #001
Meaning that its probably a set level system
so once all levels are done in 001
you can start 002
fair lion
y'all are aware this is the lore channel
hidden shale
🤐
round valley
You won't get shouted at haha. @stoic rock Most likely, A1 in the next rundown will be around the same difficulty as A1 in the current rundown. Each rundown isn't going to be a challenge stacked on top of the last, but instead just a fresh batch of missions and objectives!
Though yes, this is the lore channel and we should make sure the subject stays as such. If you have more questions about the next rundown, I suggest asking in either #gtfo-related-questions or #gtfo-chat :)

Anybody have some fun ideas of a lore explanation as to how the ||shadows|| exist? > w >
hollow bough
Also, what are the shooter's projectiles made of?
I think the || shadows || could be similar to chameleons, but of course, more advanced or more effective
Since you can still see them
hot burrow
I think the shooters projectiles are made from the glow they do
every time they shot their head glows
hollow bough
True
How would you explain their projectiles being able to change direction mid-air?
Because that boggles me
hot burrow
or their projectiles are some sort of fire fly
hollow bough
Maybe they shoot out a small piece of themself like a fire fly as you said, but it can only change direction to a degree, but can't slow itself down
so if it misses, it can't turn back around
round valley
I considered that as well.
hollow bough
Yeah, here is another photo, just looks cool, one that Swifty posted in another GTFO related discord: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/658107039855149076/683914224032153655/20200301193509_1.jpg
hot burrow
midnight spoke
@round valley I strongly believe that they're parasites who have altered the hosts, the ||shadows|| would be a variation of the parasite (probably has a rarer gene) which leads to it's ability to camouflage and blend in, which is useful to itself and the rest of the enemies
round valley
A parasite certainly makes sense. The 'growths' on the monsters within the facility have always reminded me of ticks - a parasite in itself.
Also @midnight spoke , dope pfp.
midnight spoke
Yeah, which could also mean a hivemind mentality too, which would explain the differences as they each would fill a role
and thanks man
charred tiger
already said that though
round valley
I'm having a hard time following the hivemind mentality, simply because I think alerting a single sleeper would alert Every sleeper if they were a hivemind.
charred tiger
but, what if the facility is blocking the alerts to a degree?
like through doors and such?
it doesn't have to be a telepathic hivemind
round valley
Hmn. True.
midnight spoke
Yeah, it doesn't need to be telepathic
However it explains the unique role of the scout
Sends out an alert due to a threat, hive rushes to kill
Ants do similar things
The scout lets of blue light when it gets startled and screams, which means a chemical reaction might be occuring
frail heath
hmm
midnight spoke
And the parasites, much like a lot of insects are sensitive to chemicals and respond differently to different chemicals
round valley
Hmn. I hadn't considered the blue light anything other than a visual indicator for the sake of gameplay.
midnight spoke
Considering they react to light and it emits a large wave of it which triggers a lot of it, I personally think it's more
round valley
That's a good point.
frail sand
Never actually thought about that, so now it does make sense
lilac island
I like to think the growths on the Shooter's head are similar to egg sacs, housing newborns of the parasite
The "projectiles" are them firing the babies into new hosts meaning them tracking the player is the baby parasites go towards the closest host
But that's just my idea
frail sand
Well, the growths on the shooters are cysts, so you got the general jist of what they are.
But as to an explanation of the tracking with the projectile cysts, well that’s gonna be a bit harder
midnight spoke
I'm less concerned about the tracking and more concerned with the physics
midnight spoke
they can probably sense you my chemicals or by something you emit, be it a type of wave, sense or something like electric pulses
Stairs are a killer irl and in game
Stairs are evil, change my mind

They’re waiting for big mama to say dinner time so they can enjoy some of that delicious human meat upstairs

im guessing scout is "mama"
lilac island
No that’s the big sister only they could emit a scream that high pitched to annoy the little sleepers
surreal swift
oof
round valley
@lilac island 10 Chambers wants to know your location.
surreal swift
speaking of locations i think its highly inconsiderate that the warden doesnt even give us a map
round valley
Perhaps the warden doesn't have a map. Or it's too inaccurate given how many rooms are destroyed/perma locked. Not to mention the holes in the walls.
surreal swift
i mean thats ok
i understand teh complex has its condition degradded
but even somEthinG
would be nice
lilac island
Then again who’s to say the warden even know anything about the locations in the first place
surreal swift
i mean the warden must know
u can see in the objectives at the top left of ur screen
lilac island
It could just very well be a fail safe program for all we know
surreal swift
"find hsu_980 somewhere in the level"
or "gather information about the location of the reactor"
round valley
^ Very true.
Given those context clues it's HIGHLY unlikely that they have a map of the facility.
So instead of being given a map, we are instead given a mapping tool that automatically maps out everywhere we go.
lilac island
Then again they maybe thought that the sleepers could have changed the layout of the map so instead of giving them the actual map they got the mapping tool instead
surreal swift
how could the sleepers do thatt ho
it already looks like theyve chewed their fingers off
its not like they can use tools
round valley
Nah they wore their fingers down by clawing through the walls and remodeling the facility /s
lilac island
If you’ve seen C2 you know they’re capable of doing something to build a form of infrastructure
So who knows maybe they’re using bike or some shit to make stuff
round valley
Bile*?
surreal swift
i thnk its weird how the flesh ceiling doesnt show up on the biotracker honestly
round valley
I specifically took a biotracker into C2 just to check that very thing.
lilac island
Well I dunno it makes sense they’d use something in their system
surreal swift
ik i asked earlier but i remember that the level description was saying "dont look up"
of course it didnt seem to actually do anything for the level
but has anyone ever tried shining 4 long range flashlights at the flesh ceiling
ive never made a group for it, and shiniing just one doesnt seem to do anything
shooting it doesnt seem to do anything either
but i was hoping i could provoke a response
lilac island
I doubt it would
surreal swift
it would be awesome if something happened
round valley
I doubt it would as well, however I've done sillier things for the sake of testing!
surreal swift
like an easter egg
i just realized
what if you had a person in the first room with flesh ceiling
lilac island
In my mind I honestly think that the level is made for the new enemy in the next rundown but they didn’t have enough time to do it so they implemented the chargers
surreal swift
and another guy in second room with ceiling
and did it at same time
o shit thats a good point
maybe tahts what happened
a ceiling mounted enemy sounds fookin terrifying
lilac island
Could be but we might not get a good indication that it was the case
surreal swift
but the official trailer even mentioned that "i hope you bastards are lookin up every once in a while those bastards could be anywhere"
round valley
I mean look back to Lud's recent leaks. I suspect we may be getting a ceiling mounted enemy very soon.
surreal swift
o dear
lilac island
Some squid looking as well
surreal swift
i wish our poor prisoners had some fire
surreal swift
because thats how i wanna get rid of them
lilac island
Wait they said that was illegal
fair lion
Maybe they'll make burning that shit down a warden objective
And it's gonna summon some friends
Like 8 waves of friends
lilac island
Heh I hope we get to make some plasma using Soda cans and other shit
But what happens if the sleepers are actually resistant to extreme heat
surreal swift
8 waves of friends sounds like a party
lilac island
Could be a possibility
surreal swift
idk y they would develop resistance to heat tho
then again no one has said the temperature of the complex
but im guessing its not toasty
lilac island
The fog in certain areas mean it ain’t all the warm
fair lion
With the whole comet theory the infection itself may have resistance, but that shouldn't apply to the infected
lilac island
Never know

Don't quote me on this, but I remember someone saying that flamethrowers would kinda fuck with the dynamic a bit, so they're not likely to happen
fair lion
you probably didn't read the whole thing so you don't know the context of why i mentioned flamethrowers here
tranquil stratus
then again no one has said the temperature of the complex
@surreal swift Under ground is usually a little chilly, like about 10c, and it stays that way no matter what the temperature is on the surface.

@lilac island Please don't post this kind of content into lore chat.

the devs predicted the corona virus and the monsters you see in game are really people that were infected the time is 4/10/2020

you ever wonder where the ears on the infected are located?/
fair lion
You can actually see them on strikers

You start out each mission in a HSU, it’s the thing the characters are inside during the drop

Could be to slow down any form of infection
Considering it gives you infection rates at the end of the round

so
do we have an y definite lore
other than us being prisoners
nvm checked pins

Not much, but the next update should help us understand some key details of the story better.

hey guys is their any lore explanation as to what the sleepers are?
dry owl
not rly. But in R2 to you will find lore

tiny acorn
i'm a little bit curious about C1 lore
the decoded messages said :"Move up"
but move up where ?
tranquil stratus
I don't think that means up as in higher. I think it's just someone saying to proceed, or maybe move aside.
fair lion
adjust one's position to be nearer or to make room for someone else.
1st google result
example:
"move up that sleeper's ass" - get close to the sleeper from behind
lilac island
lets hope they add in some 1 liner jokes
just to take some tension off the gameplay
fair lion
fart noise i always wanted to test if sleepers react to smell, too
lilac island
Someone yelling SHH QUIET then just rips out a fat one

Some level specific lines reacting to things would be cool too, instead of the same generic lines

man this place is huge
5 kills into a room Sleepers, don't make a sound

lilac island
Ima take a chance card here and say we find out more info on the sleepers suggesting they’re a hive mind
uneven jacinth
They might be able to communicate non-verbally, but I'm not sure the word hive mind is the best descriptor tbh.
Do they scream when they go red and alert the others locally? I'm not sure if the scout calls for help with that god awful sound or if the blue stuff is maybe electromagnetic radiation of some kind, like a radiowave.
fervent iris
@lilac island wym?
solar nova
@lilac island I doubt they'll gate the higher tiers behind the new unlock mechanic, it's probably going to gate E and maybe D. Giving us only one expedition out the gate is way too constrictive, unless they moved more things up to the A tier.
solar nova
True, we have enough to tide us over for at least a little while.
fervent iris
they are most likely gating E and D, devs dont want to limit what we can play, but want to enforce a helping mindset.

just coughing, loss of health over time, and green stuff
you get it by standing in a very thick fog

Remember folks, don't spoil anything, yeah?
tranquil stratus
Has anyone been reading the logs you can find in the terminals now?
there's a new command now, if you type 'logs' it brings up a list
and 'read log_name_' to read it
mostly it just looks like computer garbage, like ip addresses and stuff, but there may be some clues someone nerdier than me can spot
every terminal so far has just one log
I guess maybe it will be an objective to find certain logs or maybe they will add some for lore / flavour
new command: "read" and then the log name
Is there a way to share screenshots of them? I wills tart collecting the ones I see if so
like I guess I could link to my steam screenshot library
I think that's a generic name, but the content seemed slightly different on each one, maybe I just imagined it
like I said it does look like computer garbage mostly
solar nova
Does it vary per terminal?
I suspect it's not level-wide.
@lilac island Does terminal use and commands, particularly "CLS," create new logs at all?
tranquil stratus
Terminal for B3 https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1025073371317511111/A3B88C0AACD89D041BB5E1362B113A091A18D547/

vestal delta
That log is on most of the terminals as far as I know
There are a few specific to expeditions
Like A1
There’s auto gen status
tranquil stratus
same, but there was a room in A1 I haven't explored because it was unnecessary
vestal delta
It might be random which terminal had the log
tranquil stratus
Not sure if it means anything but I noticed the log is generated at 0400 and the emergency data transfer and emergency safety measure were activated at 0324, so only just over 30 mins earlier
Ya but they say the emergency countermeasures were only activated very shortly before that
Which maybe implies whatever happened was very recent?
stable urchin
Internet gas?
tranquil stratus
I think he meant infection, maybe it auto corrected

Ye, Ik,I still like the thought of the internet in gas form tho

Where else do they get the internet from? Our brave prisoners have to extract it from The Complex
ocean umbra
im just waiting for 2 more people to join in my game so hang on and ill delete it
there @lilac island ya happy
good now leave me alone
surreal swift
i remember from r1 i think the warden is blind searching thru the complex
the lvl description for a1 was to find the a level's administrator to get access to deeper levels
and then the level descriptions for the b levels was literally just to get personnel credentials (id's for b1, dna sample for b2) to access the power system on the c level
and then once the power turned on in c1, i guess that gave access to level c2 where u could find decoders for the d1 reactor
and the d1 description suggests the active reactor is a roadblock to further depth, which the warden has u deactivate
i definitely dont know for sure what the devs r aiming for, but just from the first rundown it seems like the warden doesnt know whats down there either and is just trying to explore
twilit urchin
Don't know if this is a glitch or a bug, but I somehow got into a lobby of R1A3

I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Can anyone tell me what the intended abbreviation for GTFO stands for in this game?
Can you link me an explanation for how that came to be?
lilac island
Lol get the fuck out xD
round valley
?t gtfo
cloud swiftBOT
The game is called GTFO and it doesn't stand for "Get The Fuck Out" but rather the feeling you have that you want to complete The Warden's objective and GTFO.
round valley
@tribal belfry
tribal belfry
Is this meant to be cryptic? Is it actually an acronym for something, or is it more than that?
round valley
No, it's not an acronym for anything. The title is just "GTFO" which is meant to represent a feeling.
lilac island
@tribal belfry basically it means get the fuck out
tribal belfry
Pretty much @lilac island
Like I said, it's acting cryptic and beating around the bush for what GTFO means.
fervent iris
so far i tested b1 and b2, no new logs

Apparently a Decontamination item was added or something of the sort

@trim grail can you say what happened on C2 and D1 (with spoilers)?
dense wyvern
I think (Not lore related I know) but I think the last two are opened when the community beats enough of the levels. Don't quote me on that though

looking at a russian gameplay it seems like:
||the source of infection are some kind of fungical sacs attached to the walls. they are somehow alive and breathing.||
fickle mesa
Use F12 to get a screenshot via steam or Print Screen
willow creek
so no new enemies?
Im kinda sick of just runners ,we need variations and other things like the worm monster
willow creek
I need new enemies because the sleepers are kinda.....boring?
Not to say they arent threatening but after the trailer I want MORE variations
**Also can someone fill me in what happened Rundown 1 because I didnt finish the tier 3 or 4 levels
willow creek
Invisible sleepers?! How did they gain that ability?
So are the sleepers evolving? What’s the story here?
opal lance
I think they shared the same animation as the sleepers, but are supposed to be a different variation. I think the idea is that infected hosts can continue to mutate
midnight spoke
So they were aware of the cause of infection
And had a "cure"
Explains the new infection status
Well I'm not sure about that, you can ||cure yourself of infection|| in game
It's new this patch so it's easy to forget
Judging by how a few levels look, it's definitely a mine
Question being, what were they looking for
They obviously knew about the infection
Hmm, possible
It could just be the rate of infection was higher than expected
Or something else happened and that made them too busy/unable to stop infection
solar nova
We might get answers later, since the C levels are all about locating "cold storage."
midnight spoke
Inb4 massive colony of sleepers predating us
stone vine
yeah theres a leak at the digsite
probably didnt get to finish drilling
seeing how the place is now
midnight spoke
They could have gotten to where they wanted and not finish setting everything up
Or there's my favourite idea of something coming out
Due to the floors being torn upwards
At entries
Judging from the tears, unlikely
They were pretty huge
Must be quite larger than the big strikers
tranquil stratus
@lilac island Have just been looking at the slides you made and I had a thought about the default auto log text. It says an emergency blast data transfer was made and it connected to four nodes. Perhaps that is the Warden computer connecting the cortex interface to the prisoners, which we see in the intro movie? If that's true then the automatic safety measure it mentions is the Warden activating the (disposable) prisoners already stored on-site in the HSUs and deploying them to deal with whatever is happening.
opal lance
are we playing the game as the same 4 prisoners? Or is each drop a random set of new prisoners who often die down there? I'm tempted to say the former, just because of the voice acting they've added.
tranquil stratus
Some have speculated that the four prisoners' minds are being jacked into disposable bodies
The flashbacks in the intro are probably the moments when they or the prisoner bodies died before they were brought back online by the Warden computer
opal lance
That is interesting. Buttt it kinda takes the fear away? Why would they be so scared if they knew they werent actually down there
tranquil stratus
I'm not sure about the mind jack theory TBH because you can clearly see that Dauda is black and that the Irish guy has a specific eye colour mentioned in his bio, I think there are some other clues as well
but it is interesting to think about
They could be clones as well which would make sense as to why they are in storage tanks
opal lance
it used to be woods, north, bishop, and dauda but north got replaced
@lilac island what happened to north? Lore related? Or just changed it
They could be clones as well which would make sense as to why they are in storage tanks
@tranquil stratus that does make more sense.
midnight spoke
clones are a bad option due to cell degradation
if you're 40 and they make a clone of you, that clone's cellular age is instantly 40
so by the time it's 40, it's body would act 80
opal lance
Do you think the video in steam is old and pre-lore? I don't quite get the reference "there are different people everytime, but somehow I recognise them"
midnight spoke
But this is sci-fi, so eh
That would be Dauda talking about his dreams
By memory
tranquil stratus
if you're 40 and they make a clone of you, that clone's cellular age is instantly 40
@midnight spoke The men are all of working age though
midnight spoke
What's your point?
tranquil stratus
Do you think the video in steam is old and pre-lore? I don't quite get the reference "there are different people everytime, but somehow I recognise them"
@opal lance That would make sense if they are clones or other bodies being used remotely by the player characters. Like they may not look the same each time but he knows it is the same four people.
midnight spoke
It's not him describing things he's seeing either though
"It’s not a nightmare, it’s just a part of me, who I am."
Bruh
opal lance
hmmmm. Sort of. But I think it would make more sense if he said something like "they are the same people each time, but different somehow.".. or "I dont recognise them somehow"
tranquil stratus
Maybe the torch will come back in the future. Like some of the other ideas they've brought over from Aliens :p
midnight spoke
By what Dauda actually says entirely
It seems more like a psychic or subconscious connection
Which is whack
"It comes every night without fail"
"There are different people every time"
"But I recognize them somehow"
"They’re screaming at me I don’t hear them but I know they are screaming"
"Such hate, and anger"
"I don’t know what I have done to them"
"They want me to feel what they feel"
"Then I wake up and I’m not sweating or screaming, I’m perfectly calm. I just open my eyes and I’m awake!"
"It’s not a nightmare, it’s just a part of me, who I am."
"I don’t fight it, I just, live around it”
Nah man, hacket is the traitor
Hacket worked for the mining company
my mistake
I always get confused between the two
aaaaaaaa
Either way, there's that
opal lance
"They’re screaming at me I don’t hear them but I know they are screaming"
"Such hate, and anger"
"I don’t know what I have done to them"
Are interesting lines.
tranquil stratus
Duada's dream sounds like his memories of being jacked into other bodies perhaps. "They want me to feel what they feel" = they feel what the clone bodies feel via the cortex interface. I dunno I'm not super invested in the theory but like I say it's fun to speculate
midnight spoke
And I remember seeing one of the devs talking about on leaving 3 to hang
opal lance
I thought he was talking about the infected in those 3 lines.
tranquil stratus
Equally possible 😛
midnight spoke
What if this is Dauda just dreaming
tranquil stratus
Shh don't spoil my fun
midnight spoke
If it was clones, they'd all have similar symptoms probably
The fact that dauda alone remembers, is interesting in itself
It means it's localised with him
So either he's insane, voodoo, psychic, he's secretly infected or he dreaming
midnight spoke
And it would make sense for the company to experiment a little
They obviously studied it enough to make a cure for it
opal lance
I kinda like the theory that hes infected and in some way is connected to the other infected somehow. And thats why he says they want me to feel what they feel. Such anger and hate
midnight spoke
Well I'm under the opinion the sleepers are a hive mind of sorts
They fulfil different roles, the growth and physical differences show that easily. They can at least warn each other in a similar manner to ants can, they haven't tried leaving from the looks of things, so are they just staying or they protecting something?
A company trying to make a person connect to said hive mind would be a huge advantage
Like Ender's game
Entire species but 1 wiped due to a kid knowing about them by connection
Could be, could also be a vessel of it, or a place where it spawns parasites or whatever
Not to sure on that
C2 was interesting because nothing interesting happened
It implied a root like structure though
Just pulsing and gross
tranquil stratus
@opal lance yeah that makes sense, if he’s infected enough that he is starting to experience the hive mind but hasn’t been completely taken over, or maybe being stored in the tank stopped the process temporarily. That could even by why people are being stored in the tanks in the first place, basically in suspension until someone figures out how to deal with the disease
midnight spoke
It's also possible they altered him without him actually being infected
Genetic splicing is a fun thing
He could also have an implant which acts on a similar frequency
kek
I wish, that would be more amusing to see
opal lance
although if he is connected and they want him to feel what they feel, it suggests no ulterior motive other than they're infected and full of rage. Like zombies from any movie. No stimuli and they kinda fall asleep, until they find someone not like them
midnight spoke
Or, very interesting but unlikely possibility
The human brain remains at least slightly intact and what he is seeing is the remnants of those people's feelings/memories etc
We're not actually sure how much the bodies have been altered, so I'm curious on what left or not
midnight spoke
If I remember it properly, yes
tranquil stratus
And head crab zombies in half life, they cry for help and stuff
opal lance
I do kinda like the idea that they are still partly there somehow
midnight spoke
Is that a luring thing or remnants of a person though
Either way, crabs screaming help is a nope
dry owl
@tranquil stratus They say Ohh, Dear God, help me, help me, ahhhh, in reverse
midnight spoke
And so do I, it adds another layer to the monster
opal lance
yep.
fair lion
Considering they don't give a crap about their head exploding, I don't think the brain's still there
Not much space with all those teeth anyway
midnight spoke
Well they don't need to give a crap
the parasite is the new controller of the body
charred tiger
they are nothing more than little sentries for the hive
opal lance
yeah exactly. The muscles are moving without a CNS
charred tiger
the Great One
it could care less if a few hundred die so long as the brain itself is not threatened
midnight spoke
and obviously it doesn't need the brain to regulate the body because it went ahead and mutated the body into what it needed
rather than depending on the current body
charred tiger
they are just meat puppets afterall
midnight spoke
I like how your bringing it to brain bugs
fair lion
I've said it once before
charred tiger
its always the brain bugs
midnight spoke
fair lion
If there's a hive mind maybe they're like slaves
Or
Puts on sunglasses
Prisoners
opal lance
if there was a hive mind I feel like you wouldnt be able to stop it screaming, though. And I dont think you'd need a scout to alert a room. You alert a room by waking one up and letting it scream and wake the others
charred tiger
exactly
opal lance
surely a hive mind would just wake the others
midnight spoke
depends on the type of hive minds
As I pointed out, they act similarly to ants
Which is a hivemind
charred tiger
it could be a rudimentary one
midnight spoke
When under attack, they alert others and swarm the threat
charred tiger
and the facility itself is blocking scents or sounds
opal lance
there is some hive mind thing about them. But maybe its not a central brain?
midnight spoke
They do this by either using chemicals that the antennae sense or by physically running back
midnight spoke
Now, what do sleepers do? They react to each others change in physicality and react to the scout, which is basically dropping one big chemical bomb
opal lance
maybe they are working in a similar fashion to ants or white blood cells.
midnight spoke
due to light normally meaning a chemical reaction
Honestly, whilst it's good to draw comparisons to help understand it, I'm also leaving the possibility it's unique to itself
The comparisons are good for understanding their behaviour but what they actually are could be something new
opal lance
yeah, but not new to the point its completely different
how different can it really get
midnight spoke
Extremely different but this is how science works
you start picking at it and breaking it down to try understand it as a whole
Like why do different finches have different beaks? At first we'd just have thought it was just how they are
But it was to adapt and eat different things due to the environmental differences
opal lance
yeah. But what I'm saying is, its still a beak and its still used to eat stuff. The way in which it does that might be different
midnight spoke
Hmm, I get you
opal lance
thats what I mean by how different can it really be
opal lance
fins and arms?
charred tiger
new flesh puppets for master
opal lance
in the sense that they're on the side of the body, yeah
midnight spoke
They actually have a lot more in common than that
The bones are highly similar, they shape just changes slightly
reeee
hold up
I actually learned about this last year
The colours correspond with the same structures in the different animal
at first glance they're completely different but ultimately they're similar as hell
They've just adapted for different things
fair lion
That just means God is a lazy developer
hollow bough
that means whales have stubby arms
midnight spoke
Now, what if the sleepers have adapted to something entirely new?
At least new from our perspective
It explains the key differences in their physiology
fair lion
It's a man-made complex why would they adapt new-ly
midnight spoke
Just because the complex is man made doesn't mean the cause is
fair lion
I mean they're in it, there'd have to be something there to make it necessary
midnight spoke
Or, it could be where they were digging
Bacteria and animal species have survived in isolated caves/areas
There's one in Italy which is a good example of this
fair lion
But those are infected people
midnight spoke
yes, infected by what?
fair lion
They wouldn't just have been there sealed underground
midnight spoke
something, which could have been sealed underground
fair lion
And it already knows how to change people effectively
midnight spoke
Changing physiology isn't that difficult, it's just chemical reactions ultimately
charred tiger
you are looking at the crater of the big roid that killed the prehistoric animals
fair lion
Dunno crap but that's a hell of a lot of effort
charred tiger
well it depends
midnight spoke
We also don't know if it was surviving in another host previously until it found something better and in greater supply
charred tiger
what was the parasite introduced to upon waking up or being reactivated?
charred tiger
was it poked and prodded by loud noisy humans with drills?
fair lion
To mutate people like that would require a lot of energy or something wouldn't it
charred tiger
or did it wake up when someone drilled into it
midnight spoke
Also, if it was man-made, why'd they have to make a cure for workers getting infected by a water supply?
Seems counter intuitive
charred tiger
nope
the amount of energy within a human body is very easily enough to reshape us and grow new bones and such
especially if you're fat
midnight spoke
We have a fair bit of stored energy and in addition, the human body is actually really fragile chemically
If your pH changes by 2 in either direction, your dead
fair lion
But I'm fairly certain I won't wake up with a splitting headache and 100 teeth tomorrow
midnight spoke
because your not having something trigger it
charred tiger
who says it was instant?
fair lion
Why would it trigger it tho
midnight spoke
But there are people in the world with extremely abnormal growths
With a range of causes
fair lion
They don't use the teeth on us and don't seem to be doing anything at all
midnight spoke
Especially environmental
fair lion
The Naruto runners maybe have broken arms too
midnight spoke
Let us know what is says
charred tiger
perhaps they are in the midstage of metamorph?
midnight spoke
that's possible
The arms don't bother me so much because due to the worm like tongue, they seem to like manoeuvrability and flexible bodies
charred tiger
still resembling humans slightly while they sleep and their insides shift
midnight spoke
the teeth could have just been kept during the change, same with the arms and legs
ye, the eyelids are still there
charred tiger
dissolving the eyes as it changes them to make them into much better carriers and drones
midnight spoke
Possible, never seen an open eye so can't say for sure if they're not being used or they're gone
BUT, if any creeps use eyes later on, I'm leaving
charred tiger
at some point i wouldn't be suprised to see a sleeper with the ability to eject acid from the digestive tract
midnight spoke
kek
fair lion
Not that they digest anything
fair lion
When you blow a whole in their stomach you don't see any of that
midnight spoke
Hell, they could actually digest algae
Or they could have a biproduct of theirs in their stomach
fair lion
I don't think they eat
midnight spoke
if we can produce acid for our stomachs, why can't they
fair lion
Adapted not to have one
midnight spoke
Well, they can have things they don't need
we have things we don't need
That's evolution
fair lion
And water bears will still outlive them
fair lion
Hahayes
eternal talon
Dauda might have a modified strain of the parasite, or maybe it just reacted differently to him. Allowing him to "connect" and "interact" with it directly. Would explain his unique quirks.
midnight spoke
Definitely, I'm kinda fond of the that idea atm
But I'm also keeping my eyes open for new possibilities
I wonder if the devs ever read this stuff and giggle if we get close to the truth
fair lion
Probably more like "well shit that's another thing I gotta change to make sense now"
midnight spoke
Scifi allows flexibility thankfully
Who knows, we could actually give them ideas rarely
willow creek
so
are there actually any new enemies?
And also if the Sleepers used to be humans, how are they turning invisible?

The Shadows were already in the first rundown, so they were already present
