More spaget lore tho
#gtfo-lore
late basalt
raw portal
That dosesn't make any sense
fair bridge
The scout is merely the Apex evolution of a Danger Noodle
late basalt
No. I want the real lore
opaque forum
About how humans are being changed by a fungus spore?
stone vine
i find information
opaque forum
There are different types of fungal spores given the different names of each injection?
fair bridge
As to why the Scout behaves the way he does, could be that the fungus/biomass what have you retained some kind of genome that is crossed with a sand dollar or something, or any sea creature that has long feelers
late basalt
Maybe while drilling they drilled into a spore pocket deep underground, causing the staff to get infected and releasing the fog into the facility
fair bridge
Some abomination of genetic code
That could also be
But I imagine they had the tech to echo locate pockets of gas in general
opaque forum
They were testing on the fungus
fair bridge
Not sure if it's echo location
But there is a mining thing that helps scout out nearby rock composition, and potential caverns
late basalt
I think it might be echo location while they are sleeping
Once alerted it’s different
I’ve had that theory for a while now
opaque forum
Well wafer, plants, like mushrooms and fungus have a sort of connective link through their roots
With a mix of animals in there it is possible that they connected through brain waves
late basalt
Issue there is that you don’t trigger any other ones like the hive mind theory suggests
stone vine
well they click while they are illuminating correct
late basalt
But why would sound bother them then
stone vine
thats a form of echolocation
late basalt
Like the alarms, falling and running. Etc
fair bridge
It seems rather selective as is as to what bothers them
stone vine
also that may not be the only form of detection the sleepers use
fair bridge
Large doors opening make noise yet it's not enough to wake them
opaque forum
We are dealing with a new kind of fungus and we do not know how they talk so to speek
late basalt
Any unnatural sounds, ambient doesn’t bother them per say
stone vine
as we can see the light travels from the feet to the head, most likely for picking up vibration
fair bridge
C-foam makes a pretty loud noise yet they don't react either
So it could be a select frequency range that overlaps barely with human audible range?
stone vine
yes notice how blood doors contain so many sleepers behind them
opaque forum
We are dealing with an animal-plant hybrid
fair bridge
I don't think they have much to do with plants
opaque forum
Fungus
stone vine
well actually i wouldnt say that this infection was just some human testing gone wrong
as we can see in the tanks, the sleepers actually grow from weird fungus like growths
late basalt
It is possible that lower in the facility, there are automatic doors, and foam lines that they have become accustomed to
The noise that is
stone vine
its unknown whether there may have been human dna involved or not
opaque forum
The shadows could just be a specific spore group that comes from what the sleepers are.
And spores that small are hard to see unless they react differently to light
late basalt
Mhmm. Shadows
opaque forum
Id say specific spore groups
opaque forum
The camo is from it being small spores which only light can cast a shadow on it
Which would also help the infection being in the fog and the spitters
late basalt
Maybe it’s not so much shadow/ invisible but a highly advanced camouflage like an octopus
That too
opaque forum
So spore theory plausible?
stone vine
they are the same as normal sleepers, just shadow in appearance
opaque forum
There is a plant which plants itself into ant’s brains and controls them
Totally possible that the sleepers could be full bodes
Im talking about everything except shadows at the moment with the spore theory
stone vine
tbh im so tired nothing makes sense in this chat atm
ill come back when i have a brain
goodbye
oh one more thing
nFrame stands for Neural Frame, so the pMother must stand for something aswell
thinking of what it could be give me a min
hot burrow
Maybe the pMother cargo contains the R3 mother DNA. And the warden wants to find out how it was made.
stone vine
it contains the trial samples, so yes dna
but we dont even know what the pMother exactly is yet
we just assume its the d1 mother or a little one
it could be something completely different
hot burrow
Lets hope we learn more about it in R4 or another rundown
stone vine
🙂 yep hopefully
lilac island
Prime Mother
Assuming theres multiple mothers of varying degrees. PM or pMother would be a good way to distinguish the first.
hot burrow
Would the first be the D1 mother
stone vine
well think about it this way
i took the nFrame = Neural Link as more of a hint than anything
a hint towards the nFrame being connected to the pMother
now, heres something, why would warden have a neural link to a mother that we are going to kill?
hot burrow
To test us
stone vine
i think r3 is just the beginning
hot burrow
See if we are still good
lilac island
Probably ties into the sub company working on the biotech
stone vine
well warden sure had a lot to put into this "test" then
why would he test us if there are more prisoners to use
lilac island
A good example for this seems to be Cagester of an insect cage.
stone vine
to warden prisoner lives mean nothing
so if they dont comply then simply kill them, there is no need to test us
lilac island
Wherein a mother had control over a hive being controlled by an overseer
At this point we're labrats
With some toys
Evolution be like.
late basalt
Well we know our prisoners are special, they aren’t suitable for redeployment, yet still are
lilac island
Probably trying to finetune our immune system
stone vine
warden doesnt care about prisoners
late basalt
E1, mass amount of casualties acceptable yet we are the only ones to deploy, and succeed
stone vine
so thats why we get redeployed, though I agree our characters are special
lilac island
That or were learning faster
stone vine
ever since rundown one ive always had the nagging feeling that something bigger has existed
lilac island
1 gave me the impression this story is going to have deeper meanings and branches than one single awnser
Answer*
Fuck fones
Anything involving mega corps or named industries becomes complicated
stone vine
idk i think the neural link goes much deeper than just a "prime mother"
lilac island
It does I agree
Im saying P means Prime to me
Prime Mother being a mother with a neural link
The only one so far assumidly
stone vine
ah i see, i thought you were reffering to d1 mother
late basalt
Maybe other prisoners are disposable but ours are not
stone vine
eh
lilac island
No
stone vine
actually
lilac island
I think it boils down to many factors
late basalt
E1 is the prime example
stone vine
warden sends multiple groups in on succesfull runs
lilac island
Imagine this is all the Warden testing a bioweapon in its cage by sending armed plebs
late basalt
We somehow survive a mission that killed countless others
lilac island
Many do.
lilac island
Could be a prime sample of the fungus/mold
A more pure from the core sample that evolved
As this was the hole that killed the dinos
Who knows what came down off that rock
stone vine
we know for a fact mothers can get bigger, well they could get even bigger
lilac island
Or what germinated with it.
Hopefully datacenter gives us some nice pc screens to pour over
stone vine
hopefully it does, im really excited for datacenter
stone vine
and also neko, so do many other prisoner groups
the warden stats show we are not the only ones completing these expeditions
lilac island
Seeing as it is late 2050+ i recall
Our population is probably almost double
Overpopulation is a bitch
stone vine
well also
lilac island
Prisons become shelters
stone vine
the complex is huge
lilac island
Prisoners become drop monkes
lilac island
So the warden will never lack for bodjes2
Bodies*
Ill elaborate more on my laptop
hot burrow
I bet there is going to be a data bank mission.
lilac island
Me theory is a bit more left field
late basalt
I think we aren’t supposed to be in the facility as we have to get security access for the warden. Means we are an outside organization that moved into place after the “virus” broke out in the facility. Doesn’t mean that we are not opposing the company that does run the facility
And correct we are not the only groups dropping, but are the most effective
stone vine
well thats just because we play in these characters perspective, there is a chance of other highly efficient groups similar to us
though most likely not "special"
i dont think we have enough info for this though
the warden announcements arent that much good info
late basalt
True. They are just player stats. I don’t think they correlate to lore tbh
late basalt
But until we get any lore to why specifically our characters are special or not, I’m going to assume they are
stone vine
bishop is of course 😉
late basalt
North
stone vine
no
late basalt
Yes
stone vine
late basalt
Anyways
stone vine
n o
late basalt
Scout as next playable character?
lilac island
Imagine being the only 4 who can survive longterm exposures to fog/infection
late basalt
Yeah, but then why equip us with masks
Because they do a little bit for the fog at a minimum
stone vine
we can hear the masks ventilate as we breath
lilac island
Theyre all hosposh masks
stone vine
most likely dust masks
stone vine
well the hud is more of a built in feature with the cortex injection
late basalt
^
lilac island
Then why does it seem to reflect?
stone vine
its just a hud
lilac island
Ill let that one rest till we get more masks to work with
stone vine
late basalt
Hu?
late basalt
The scratches on the mask?
late basalt
That reflect on the light?
lilac island
On pc
stone vine
this image for ex is just the game design
the reflection is a game design feature because they most likely thought it looked nice
it happens in the lobby aswell
hot burrow
Man the Devs really love circles
stone vine
i like circles
lilac island
Like i said ill let that rest till we get more masks and stuff
Everything needs to be taken into account regardless
stone vine
That’s just word design though
Like it’s in the startup menu
The reflection is just to look nice
lilac island
U neber kno
stone vine
i mean if u really think so
lilac island
i said u neber kno..m
stone vine
ok I see
lilac island
Anyway.
lilac island
I hope

stone vine
Lmfao
hot burrow
I hope we get 3C levels
late basalt
How about 2 of each
late basalt
I want my E’s again
hot burrow
I hope we don't get any rock levels
hot burrow
R2C1 was not set in a cave
Like how R1 did it
Your in a refinery.
No levels were set in a cave
hot burrow
Now I remember why I don't talk a lot in discord servers
stone vine
?
hot burrow
Nvm
stone vine
Alright lmao
hot burrow
What made me dis like R3 was how 2 levels were lab themed
I was hoping all levels would be lab themed
solar nova
They've always mixed environments, though.
late basalt
Squid. R2C1 is warehouse
solar nova
It would be nice if they 1 upped, but it's w/e.
late basalt
Refinery is R3B2 etc
stoic rock
still feels a bit lackluster @late basalt
stoic rock
it just depends on preference if im gonna be honest
late basalt
True
stoic rock
well you could say that for anything so it doesnt mean anything
opaque forum
What ever the environments are in a rundown connects to each other in some way.
late basalt
Like I personally hate labs
late basalt
See. Your point exactly
stoic rock
^
yeah
i honestly like designs more than anything in these games
if they all looked the same
its just aaaaaaaaaaa
its probably getting a bit offtopic now
apologies
solar nova
I'm just wondering if the lab and datacenter are under an umbrella environment like the storage, refinery, and dig site.
harsh spire
I'd love to see a complete change of envirements in certain levels of R4
Like maybe at one point you just transition from a lab to an extraction site/ mine
with small tunnels only dashers can take or something
lilac island
I wanna just explore tbh
I've been having so much fun solo running and checking out lil stuff.
Looking for labels an things
dusky salmon
honestly wish there was exploration levels or even just more to explore in expeditions. Like for example each expedition unlocks one secret area in another expedition. Maybe it has some terminal with lore or something idk. Would actually give some incentive to do expeditions again
lilac island
I think that will be coming sometime in the future. At least the concept of exploring and mapping, maybe.
stone vine
i hope a datacenter would have lore on terminals lmao
charred vault
I know u guys have speculated on this for some time but what if those things inside the sleepers are bananas?
it would make sense going through D1 again I've found areas that may of been pens for animals at some point..
see what I mean? outlines in the ground
coral quest
fungal chicken hybrid confirmed
icy totem
🤯
charred vault
what kind of animal could be under this bag?
graceful frost
Could be anything really, but looks around the same size as an adult chimp.
coral quest
note the small broad shouldered body- clearly apelike
graceful frost
Don't be stupid. It's too small to be an ape.
The larger ones, maybe, but those are definitely chimps.
icy totem
I dont see any other explanation
warm halo
Some of the sleepers seem to resemble disfigured gorillas... thoughts?
solar nova
Lmfao
coral quest
this is pretty promising
real pewter
ooooooooooohhhhhhhh
graceful frost
what did he edit?
icy totem
thanks for the gold kind stranger
graceful frost
seems pretty normal to me
I did see the plant monitors
but there were a lot of monitors so it's hard to tell
if you can go through all of them and check that might be your best bet of confirming
who is credible?
none of the mods are online
devs don't talk at all
who do we ask?
graceful frost
@cloud swift do you know anything about the chimp monitor and if that's a real thing? I'm confused
usually the bot auto answers
coral quest
I think it's pretty clear man
graceful frost
it looks similar??
coral quest
look at that skull shape
coral quest
it's hard to find chimp skulls in profile but you get the idea
lilac island
Any screenshots of a different angle?
coral quest
maybe I shouldn't use bing
this could be personal problems
I will repost chimp skull comparison
yeah see those are all different angles
I think I will buy this one off etsy and do some measurements
solar nova
It's almost impossible to ID a sleeper as a chimp or not without its teeth.
coral quest
true
solar nova
That's lost in the transformation.
coral quest
it's possible that the "humans" found were just chimps that lost all their hair
could be part of the fungal growth
tall anchor
ur mom chimp
graceful frost
a lot of the text seems woozy
tall anchor
lol i kid, not super sure where you guys are at
graceful frost
could've been infected when he took the screenshot
that usually squabbles your screen
tall anchor
oh i see
graceful frost
not that uniform
graceful frost
seems like a bit of nitpick
it doesn't seem too off compared to the rest of the text
coral quest
well it is a static texture
hot burrow
could be half human sleepers and half chip sleepers
coral quest
I don't think everything is pixel perfect but who knows
there's some other cool anomalies in the textures if you look at them
sometimes I like to sit there and stare at the wall textures in the lab when infected it looks really cool
tall anchor
yeah the monitors aren’t pixel perfect
depends on graphical settings, but they are sometimes wavey, at least on terminals
Tbqh, could be a legit screenshot which honestly makes sense scientifically
solar nova
coral quest
G O R I L L A S

coral quest
woah I'm not involved in Shrimp theory if that's what you're referring to
solar nova
🤔
charred vault
what’s the cuddlefish theory?
solar nova
Some dude way back in January was extremely insistent that the sleepers are related to cuddlefish.
I wasn't even around then, I've just heard tales.
But it reminds me a lot of the gorilla theory now.
hot burrow
some other guy was saying they were catfish
graceful frost
except the gorilla theory isn't ridiculous
coral quest
well- definitely wasn't me- but I mean- look closely and this is pretty close to a sleeper
coral quest
I wish I could talk with this guy he might be on to something
icy totem
He was silenced for getting too close to the truth
graceful frost
This is a serious chat for serious discussions.
If you aren't going to be serious, please don't interrupt our theorizing.
stone vine
eh nice edited chimp photo btw
if we are going to start spreading misinformation thats cool
this is a serious lore chat, please don't put edited images to fit your narrative
charred vault
Its not edited though.... i saw the same one in-game doing d1 today
doesnt always appear 100% of the time though
stone vine
look i could honestly care less about the little chimp joke, but please dont put edited stuff in here
to stay on track with actual lore, real lore needs to be spread around not the dumb chimp shit
solar nova
Eh, the community is gullible considering all the bullshit they believe.
They deserve it.
hot burrow
no, spam crouching makes it go faster
charred vault
didn’t get a screenshot myself, but grind just confirmed it
stone vine
i mean i dont know why anyone would believe it in the first place aswell ray
solar nova
Better to promote the chimp stuff around R4 when it will be able to gain more traction.
Infected primates become photosensitive and hide underground?
stone vine
honestly my sleeper poptart theory holds more traction
there are obviously toasters in the complex
so there u go my poptart theory is real wooow
charred vault
monkeys are often used as test subjects in the field of science... its basic knowledge
dont be ridiculous
solar nova
Presumably they would have used preexisting caves.
It's not hard to imagine around this.
hot burrow
Its the flood from halo
I saw "Dead space 4 trailer" but it was the GTFO 2017 trailer
hot burrow
Those eyes
stone vine
ahhhh thankyou i see
warm halo
How could I be so blind
solar nova
Btw, "chimp" makes very little sense to begin with since all apes are from Africa. New world monkeys are not chimps lmfao.
hot burrow
How wide we talking
solar nova
Platyrrhines are the only primates in the Americas.
warm halo
that's those weird duck looking things that lay eggs right?
warm halo
joke
solar nova
What did you think they were?
Gorillas aren't even monkeys.
Old world and new world monkeys are two different clades of monkeys. "Old world" refers to Eurasia and Africa while "new world" refers to the Americas.
hot burrow
That face tho
stone vine
its so hot
charred vault
I wonder what kind of monkeys we're dealing with in the complex.... assuming their not naturally bald
solar nova
Monkeys are also not a proper clade in phylogeny.
stone vine
rayalot english pls
warm halo
monkey dont exist
severe trellis
can someone tell me the lore tidbit i missed in c1, i think i heard a radio and left it because we were too close to finishing
stone vine
its the rest of the truth am log
severe trellis
sounded like a1's radio
severe trellis
they made POPCORN?
warm halo
sleepers are dreyfus industries' failed human experiments on ranch flavored popcorn
severe trellis
thats why theyre failiures
charred vault
that monkey in the test tube, you know who made that right? Dreyfus Industries
severe trellis
not because theyre aggressive murder zombies
but because they taste disgusting
🤮
hot burrow
Dude is that yellow guy sucking shreks ding dong
solar nova
Bro, wtf, I love Dreyfus deep dish
severe trellis
ah, so its just an excerpt from the A1 radio
royal gull
shake hands, also made by Dreyfus Industries.
graceful frost
As deforestation would most likely continue, the simian family would only continue to become endangered. Mexico, being as remote as it is, could work perfectly fine to simulate the African heat our ape Brothers are so native to. Simulation of habitats for the pursuit of restructuring and regrowth of a species has been done before, and a large organization with its own objectives like Dreyfus could take advantage of its local wildlife for testing: apes. Human testing would follow, as morality becomes secondhand as Dreyfus becomes larger and gains more control. As their anatomy is our closest relative, any infection that could occur within "Deep Reach" would also affect the experimented apes and primates. Apes closely resembling the larger strikers and chimps the smaller ones.
Shooters and mothers are not primates nor apes. The animal testing is bigger and we're underestimating it. Hybrids being the best example that crossbreeding took into effect to create such an abomination
fair bridge
Any idea as to why the body proportions would be more human like even in strikers however?
Or is it because we consider all of the creatures to already be a human/animal hybrid
We do see some of the corpses of staff hunched over in positions similar to sleepers, some sort of half turning already, so it's safe to assume that these creatures likely follow a human physiology first and foremost
graceful frost
It's most likely that the infection causes the same symptoms in primates, apes, and humans. And although Sleeper anatomy might be very similar to humans first and foremost, the variants of sleepers are most likely hybrids of, as you guessed, animal and human crossbreeding
The sleepers who run could very much be infected humans, while those who crawl could be otherwise
The study of behavior is the key here
fair bridge
What would be the primary cause of the parasitic like pustules and malformations derive from
Is it a third thing thrown into the mix?
graceful frost
I'd assume the parasites themselves breed in the sleepers
So the sleepers are a host if anything
fair bridge
Hmm, well as we have labs now as a tileset, it's likely we will see more lab levels in R4, hopefully some new info on research terminals or logs will throw us a bone
graceful frost
Or a banana
late basalt
Ehh. I do t really want labs. They look kinda weird. The tunnel warehouse tile set is under used
languid walrus
Ideally I'd want a Rundown that has 16 expeditions, with all 4 themes having 4 expeditions each.
fair lion
I still wonder how exactly scouts work
It's certainly not the feelers that allow that blue quantum science baloney that summons waves
Only other special trait i can think of is their head size, but that again may just be for feelers
late basalt
Increased in size to have sacs where the tentacles extend out of
fair bridge
They are likely stored inside like the striker tongues
royal gull
Or maybe we can actually see the blue emmiting wave like every other infected, because we also are infected in a certain way...
storm patrol
Ludvig leaks datacenter storage boxes. Looks kinda like servers but idk
lilac island
No, silly.
Those are servers/storages.
Or, more appropriately. Data storages devices.
storm patrol
Well they have no power to compute
stone vine
Wait this could be the setting of the auto gen status log
seeing as it’s a datacenter lmao
storm patrol
Needs coolant 😏
stone vine
😼
lilac island
🧝
stone vine
Auto gen status is probably going to be brought up again though
an updated log most likely
So we may get a timeline
Or atleast some better info on what went wrong
LMFAO
drowsy pebble

lilac island
oh my god
ten chambers you bastards.
i figured it out
The Warden want to return to monke
it all makes sense.
fair bridge
A whole new meaning to code monkeys
lilac island
To be monke is to be monke
graceful frost
I will be very disappointed if they only use the monkey containers in two levels like they did for the monkey testing labs for rundown 3

Yes yes

I'm excited for it coming out, for personal reasons I hope it comes out in early september
stone vine
well basing off of the time r3 came out, i assume late august
stone vine
its august taco...
stone vine
w h a t
magic bronze
that it comes out in early september
stone vine
but why
lilac island
Tbh I think we're lucky if we get it before October
stone vine
not rlly
magic bronze
my birthday is september third, and I think it would be neat if it came out then
dry owl
thats never been on an uplink obj before
@stone vine It has. Look at R3B1. It has the same description like the leaked map. So nothing new here.
dry owl
np^^
flat halo
I hope it comes out late august but im not so sure as they have been on vacation for all of july
lilac island
It could just be a trivial change
dry owl
Np 🙂
stone vine
was it only in B1?
lilac island
dry owl
It does exist in R2C1, but only after doing a terminal
stone vine
that makes sense
why i didnt remember that
did we every actually get to look at anything for it though?
maybe it just means terminals
flat halo
I think its just fancy wording for query them in the terminal
stone vine
yeah
i looked into b1 videos and never saw that pop up so i just assumed it wasnt there
too tired to be doing lore lmfao
small brain cant handle it
solar nova
@stone vine "Access more data in the terminal maintenance system" appears in pretty much every expedition after a certain duration if players haven't queried the objective.
jolly abyss
so idk if anybody already noticed this or brought it up but; why are all the sleepers fingers cut off?
lilac island
My theory; trying to claw their way out of places.
shut mountain
I'd personally like to think that they chewed them off 
stone vine
Yummy
mmm mmm fingers
I mean it is possible they chewed them off because by the look of all the dead bodies being hunched over grabbing themselves it obviously didn’t feel too good
Good way to block out pain is with different pain
Weird logic but it works
It could also just have to do with the infection, but guess we’ll have to find out huh 😉
unborn steppe
Maybe all the sleepers left are ones created from the Mothers so they're born with no fingers
stone vine
Well that’s most likely not the case because the sleepers in the test tubes don’t have hands either
By no hands I mean they also have stubs
Best way to put it is that the ones inside the tanks look like abstract art sleepers lmao
That are attached to weird biomass that grow out of the moss
I assume
upbeat frost
what's moving in the sacs
unborn steppe
apple juice
dusky salmon
the cursed apple juice
harsh spire
slurp
stone vine
Potatoes that is probably babies
Because as we know the mother spawns babies out of her sacs so
They probably grow up into something else 🙂
lilac island
Until they're an actual biological reasons, I still stick with the clawing/trying to escape.
Seeing as how they're always trapped in rooms locked off by doors.
Most bloody/muddy doors always sound like a horde is bashing on the other end.
I think they broke their fingers trying to claw out of any room they're trapped in, they fail. Whatever obvious lockdown sectioned them off pwell.
So, what do you do? Claw and fight to get out, fail because that shit is future-style metal door.
Curl up, hibernate to conserve energy and calories.
Wait.
stone vine
yeah but the ones in the test tubes also have these stubby hands
And so do the dead bodies
lilac island
That I can probably relate to how young/adolescent these creatures are.
stone vine
explain?
lilac island
Okay, this one is really odd and a half stretch.
They were also trying to escape.
Failed, the very same way, and curled up to accept death when the sleepers overran them in that room when the lockdown happened.
Sleepers, being so young and new, are baseline survival instincts..
So, what do you do with new information? Adapt it.
Always why I saw them mimicking the same pose the staff did when they were about to be ran over by like 50 of the fuckers.
Curl up and hold your breath.
Their fingers/bones were worn down after trying literally with death smacking your ass with a 60 foot tongue, to rip through a door.
So the sleepers, seeing this, tried as well, being survival base level creatures with no display of high thought function, just did it till their fingers/hands were worn down much like the staff.
Did as they did, curled up, and began to hibernate, fuck else can you do in a small 10-50-30-30 room with 19+ others?
As for test tubies.
We have no idea how long/who has been working in this facility before us or what was going on.
We dont know if D and E both may have already been overran, or maybe just E.
So test tubies could just be the odd sleeper who was found dead in a corner after some automated defense got his ass, or some guards dumped a mag or two into him because these fuckers don't register pain sometimes.
i need more base lore/understanding to go on but having read enough warhammer 40k and other sci fi horror series I can see some things that relate.
Also, if something is hungry and ate its fingers; wouldn't stop there.
They would have fucking killed one another in those tiny rooms, until one was left.
We're assuming, first off. These are earth-born animals.
And not from any bacteria found from the asteroid that boomed the dinos.
That this is a 100% subterranean lost species that was born and created on earth
If we can trace whatever this is back to an earth-born something. Hahah forget it.
stone vine
We do see all the stages
Moss
I see them growing off the moss
I will provide pictures in a bit
but it’s off of the moss
trust me
lilac island
Show me these, since I dismissed them growing off of the moss purely because that would make them all a living fungus.
stone vine
I’m in class rn so just give me a little to get the pics
lilac island
dw
stone vine
But I’ll show you 🙂
lilac island
Hopefully these pictures shed light.
i feel like these were a royal fuck up on someone's part who thought playing with the black mold in the shower would be a funny weekend project for the Warden to laugh at
instead the black mold came alive, spun around, did 100% health to everyone in the room
However, on a funnier note.
It's fucking 2040-2050ish and we still use 556.
NATO you mother fuckers.
some type of animal from earth
yeah uh huh.
kinda important.
stone vine
yep weird glitcg
lilac island
Knowing it has traces of Iridium is nice.
If I recall, iridium is relatively common in meteorites, 0.5 ppm or more I think, with like earth having 0.005 or some shit.
I wanna know this animal tho
real pewter
isn't it chimp?
stone vine
idk if its even an animal lmao
lilac island
what was the name
hand over the name
Iridium mines are hot, I guess.
And Iridium mining must make a lot in the near future where electronics are hot.
stone vine
alright let me pull up the pictures
finally out of class
look at those first alright
its kind of really hard to see but
those weird things on the moss
are growning underneath the sleeper in a clump
some are smaller some are much bigger
we can also see the moss down at the bottom, actually
heres something that also looks quite like whats on a shooter
we can also see the weird fungus that grows on the moss in huge clumps in other test tubes
alright gotta head to next class, do what u want with this info
also, the fact all of the biomass grow in the same way as the fungus on the moss basically puts it at most reasonable speculation
they all grow upwards/ downwards looking like somethings pulling them
though, it is still entirely possible these are still humans in the test tubes as they couldve been connected in some way
so this is a leap but i'd say we have the thing causing the infection directly infront of us
lilac island
(i love how these are from our memerun)
stone vine
(yes ikr)
charred vault
Those displays are way too big to just contain plants and stuff tbh, they're definitely tubes/cages meant to hold an animal
lilac island
Hopefully R4 sheds some more light on them.
I have a few theories now, but most are based purely on plant interaction/parasitic infection.
But the sleepers anatomy throws most of it out the window.
charred vault
the tumorous growths kind of remind me of the bottoms of baboons..... the mother could be a mutant one
lilac island
return
to
monke.
@stone vine if you find the letters RTM anywhere in R4 you tell me right fuckin' away.
we returnin to monke soon™️
stone vine
ok
will do
i have a lot of shit to look for next rundown so if its there i might come across it
lilac island
this is when the devs drop a halo infinite brute face at the end of R4
Ancient Jimmy Rustler appears.
jolly abyss
My theory; trying to claw their way out of places.
@lilac island That makes a lot of sense but I also thing they might just chew them off. Their sleeping positions always have their hands near their faces so maybe they just kinda nibble at them or something?
Oh someone already said that
Well yeah
lilac island
Aye.
Read more of my stuff i went into why i thought they looked like that
Mimicking supposed human behavior.
jolly abyss
ooh ok
lilac island
Plants absorb radiation so
Good to have around
Produce oxygen and shit. Plants are just good and if you can grow them miles under the earth do it
stone vine
yes plants absorb a lot of radiation
lilac island
So
stone vine
yeah its saying there was basically an overheat
lilac island
Looks to me the first log is basically saying the server room or the data-center was heating up
So it transferred somewhere.
stone vine
due to what well it seems like the answer is in the datacenter
to the maintenence *terminal
lilac island
2 is basically saying the transfer was good but something fucked up
stone vine
uhuh
thats where my code comes in
so maybe the transferring of identification was lost
lilac island
XID VID PID
stone vine
which might be why a lot of the research terminals are malfunctioning
think about it
those 3 things
are in the labs
very clearly
XID VID and PID
lilac island
So it was a data scrub mid transmission.
Means someone was watching the data stream.
2050 and 556. NATO is still standard
the fuck is going on boys
lilac island
lllllllllllllll
stone vine
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
This is an example of XID
the identification of unknown species via qualities
And that ticks off our first mark
VID
visual identification
lilac island
Okay so
I want
More of those
Iridium is the big thing
This shit is outer space.
This is Colour out of space levels of spook
stone vine
one sec
lilac island
gonn run 2 bankj real q
opaque forum
Oh shit gone for 2 days. What I miss?
stone vine
Here u go
VID
and the PID personal id
pretty self explanatory
weve had to find those in objectives before so
stone vine
I think that we can recover this information in some sort of log with a code
opaque forum
Is the top corner. It shows 4 letters. Is the second one known?
If there is a code in the logs it should be somewhere next to those 4 letters.
opaque forum
I know that one
stone vine
😉 ye
opaque forum
But the monitor and the remote disk connection errors.
Could that be a comm connection?
If so does anyone outside actually know what happened other then the Warden?
opaque forum
Oh wait. Yea it is. My mind is going places.
Conspiracy started here by mistake.
My bad
stone vine
lmfao
opaque forum
I was just thinking about the Warden and thought that he cut all communications to the outside world so that no one knew what he was up too.
I just looked at the leak picture and those servers look lootable.
Maybe we can grab a disk of information out of them?
opaque forum
It always shows and no one can deny it.
stone vine
mhm
thats why im so invested
i know the devs put in a lot of effort so i try to dig as deep as possible
so that no one misses anything
omg
when you smack chargers legs
the tar looking stuff falls off
O-O
i mean its not new tho we already know what chargers look like before getting this tar stuff
opaque forum
Could the tar be blood?
stone vine
most likely biomass from the room
opaque forum
Im still sticking to the human-plant virus theory. But what I want to know is what are we injecting into our heads to play the game? Is it the same injection as what created these creatures? Is it a some sort of experimental vaccine? Questions man... questions...
Why do we not die when downed like the rest of the bodies we see laying about?
Is the injection some sort of deterrent for when you are nearly dead?
stone vine
Ok so the injection is a cortex ni designed by warden to basically make him a "part" of the prisoner
opaque forum
So the warden is a program?
opaque forum
Possibility still stands
stone vine
all of the warden theories are basically likely to be true
theyre all sticking to a similar
area
so like its most likely one of them
all of them make sense
opaque forum
Did someone already theorize that the warden is a program?
I want to stake that claim.
stone vine
Yes
opaque forum
Dang.
opaque forum
Nice call on them
opaque forum
It would make a lot of sense if The Warden was an AI.
stone vine
yeah it would
alright i need to compile all of my photos and make the comparison sheet now
opaque forum
I also wonder if... near the time we reach the bottom of where ever we are... reports of a sleeper that can communicate to humans other than Dauda.
stone vine
well its unconfirmed if he can speak to them, but he feels as though he can hear them which i assume implies sleepers
them is unconfirmed though
so them can be coleagues, sleepers, other prisoners
anything really
opaque forum
He can hear what ever is angry at it’s “torturers”.
Thats’s just it Warden! It doesnt have to anymore!
stone vine
Warden
who are u
pls
the devs wont tell me
w
what
omg
i never thought this could happen
drowsy pebble
stone vine
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
drowsy pebble
tell me your secrets
opaque forum
If it’s a self conscious AI then it doesn’t need to listen because it is the top which in any event could lead to a BIGGER FUCKING STORY FOR THE WORLD IN OTHER GAMES CONNECTED TO THIS GAME!
This game could be just a door into a house of shit for this world.
Where the Warden stopped giving a fuck about humanity and said “hey guys die.”
stone vine
well
by my theories standards warden is trying to access the "queen sleeper"
for what reason im not sure
opaque forum
The matriarch of sleepers, the first ones ever to exist, the ones that Dauda can hear, the ones that were treated harshly and decided to break out and kill everyone that was not them creating this hive mind of sleepers throughout the complex.
stone vine
we dont know what the queen sleeper is yet
but
it exists
and there is a lot of proof aswell
opaque forum
Proof because of the queen mother?
stone vine
nope actually
theres been proof everywhere since rundown 1
it just wasnt spoon fed to us
opaque forum
I wonder what kind of power the queen sleeper holds.
stone vine
well
9.8 magnitude earthquakes
control over an entire society of sleepers
yeo
bingo
warden
now when you add my mother charger theory into the mix
things add up
I can start from scratch
Now the way this all came to become at all in the first place is very strange to me but i assume it was partially manmade
opaque forum
I know this may sound as a blunt joke but is an actual thought. What if the queen sleeper is now the complex we travel through?
stone vine
well
half right
you see maybe queen sleeper isnt the "complex" but has control over it
C1
for example
how did C1 just appear out of no where?
9.8 magnitude earthquakes
in an area with no seismec activities
opaque forum
It’s like this giant squid like creature that releases hormones that effects people body chemistry.
stone vine
meaning there is a 0% chance this was an earthquake
in 2050 technology is far above our time, and even we pick up all earthquakes activity
its 2020
and 9.8 magnitude is city shattering quite literally bigger than any earthquake that has happened on earth
what could have gone down in a complex that caused an "earthquake" of this size
well probably not construction
hm maybe
opaque forum
Cthulhu is that you?
opaque forum
Do we have a minor cthulhu in the complex?
stone vine
i have even more reason to believe this thing exists now just because of the biomass in D1 at the end
the sheer size of that thing
and it isnt even the base of this
opaque forum
Was the asteroid actually a giant egg housing the queen sleeper?
opaque forum
Last one was a joke
stone vine
oh
lmao
my b
anyways
something this size doesnt just exist in a complex by itself
it would of had to be created
opaque forum
The asteroid did bring something though so it does relate to extra terrestrial elements.
stone vine
well it couldve
opaque forum
Otherwise why build something this big there?
stone vine
or it could have just brought the attention
well in 2016 a mining expedition into this crater happened irl
when youre mining you dont know what to expect
so when you dig down and see strange biomass that isnt similar to any known species
you want to hide
it
for well money
opaque forum
And potential threat
stone vine
engineering something out of this could be a huge cash grabber
companies would pay tons to research it
and well its effectively a bio weapon
😉 but thats just a theory
a gaaaame theory
lilac island
hey im doing a2 whats up
stone vine
also, ive been on and off with the idea since R1 but it seems like its holding ground now
alright ill make the comparison sheet now and then im going to come back
i got all of my photos
opaque forum
Ill come back in the morning but honestly this sounds like the backstory of how the SCP Foundation could have started.
ashen sentinel
this is a very interesting read
stone vine
yes
lilac island
Slide me them all and i slide mine later
Okay do it
I will add mine on it
and we compare
stone vine
😉 kk sure thing chicken wing
lilac island
I have big theories about cover companies, and such
stone vine
i have to dig through my screenshots lmfao
lilac island
The whole mention of a 'contract'
means they personnel people out.
That means bodies are flowing all the time
lot of information can leak. . .
lilac island
almost like that. . happened. .
stone vine
yeah...
lilac island
scope. . .
