[rancid zenith]

wait! look!

[worthy flower]

sleepers are all mayans confirmed

[tall anchor]

or is it the floor of the MWP room being imprinted

[eternal talon]

it is not

[worthy flower]

a Mayan calendar just flew over my house.

[eternal talon]

look down

[quick grove]

The Mayans theory is not possible

[maiden crystal]

just a quick question, is it possibly, as alpha is the only place with daylight/light surfaces, just a placeholder pattern for where the characters spawn in (as you said it's right behind where you load in) just curious

[eternal talon]

also it's not sand.

[maiden crystal]

or is it aliens?

[rancid zenith]

Guys.

[maiden crystal]

is my dad an alien?

[rancid zenith]

Half life 3 confirmed.

[eternal talon]

it's sandstone, it's a different texture completely to the ground around it

[tall anchor]

FRANK BISHOP CONFIRMED

[rancid zenith]

It's lambda.

[maiden crystal]

what the heck is that line

i didnt notice that before

[worthy flower]

its an F to pay respects

[quick grove]

Can you free cam in this game @eternal talon

[eternal talon]

don't think so

[tall anchor]

nope

[eternal talon]

i have no idea

[worthy flower]

not without mods

[maiden crystal]

oh my god

[quick grove]

Might be a good idea to get a top down shot of it for further analysis @eternal talon

[eternal talon]

it's a bit too dark

[quick grove]

Yeah i know

[eternal talon]

if you want to run through b1, you can try

[maiden crystal]

whether it's another planet or dimension or whatever, the impact was from space, so whatever the word is, it's aliens, in the same way that in event horizon, the hell portal is in space so even though that is demons, it's alien demons lol

[eternal talon]

if you bring like a heavy flashlight or something

into red alpha

[quick grove]

Still might be worth it

[maiden crystal]

aren't the alpha sections timed?

[eternal talon]

not b1

or d1

d1 is only after you start the alarm

b1 only after you use the terminal

[maiden crystal]

guys

be honest

do you think my dad is up there?

[quick grove]

What are you on about?

[maiden crystal]

the impact of chibux crater or whatever it is called

[eternal talon]

probably. check the constellations

mountain sized sandstorms go brr

[maiden crystal]

did anyone else google impact areas on earth after reading into legit chibux crator and get a little wigged out by how many confirmed giant impact zones/craters are on earth currently

because i didn't I'm big and strong like my dad

[tall anchor]

I’d do that if we knew average distance from earth

[eternal talon]

do you see stars in d1?

now that i think about it

[tall anchor]

I think so

[eternal talon]

i was just saying that as a joke to cannibal

[maiden crystal]

This is deep lore please do not joke lives and Merv's patience are on the line.

[eternal talon]

merv's nigh asleep, it's 9am for him

[maiden crystal]

oh ok let's keep trying to find my dad then

the F is for Frank which could be my dad's name maybe

he used to write Fs in chat just like that

[tall anchor]

Your dad is Frank Bishop?

[maiden crystal]

I don't know the writers have not finished my deep lore yet

I hope Bishop gets his vengeance, speaking from the heart now

[eternal talon]

anyone wanna run b1 with me to get a better pic of that sandstone?

[quick grove]

[maiden crystal]

I feel like he's the only one, well him and the other guy down there that broke free, who didn't deserve to get entered into legion

[quick grove]

Bishop never broke free lol

[maiden crystal]

no Schafer did

or at least, whatever is calling itself Shafer claims he has

[tall anchor]

Schaeffer is his name for sure

[quick grove]

You mean schaeffer

[tall anchor]

Like we know he was a human before NAM-V got out

[maiden crystal]

yeah he had some role in the deeper mining areas, he apparently had lvl 4 access out of 5

[tall anchor]

he and his team ran the mining machine

until he lost it and jumped into the drill

[quick grove]

Who's the guy that apperantly never existed?@tall anchor

[maiden crystal]

the theory is he was informed of things he wasn't meant to be through "illegal communication" or whatever they called it in the email log, so they slung him in legion

[tall anchor]

Do you mean bishop’s records being wiped so he never existed?

[quick grove]

Oh yeah

[eternal talon]

sigh, loading into b1 again 109775240986821192 if you want to join to take pics

[dim scroll]

pic of what 😳

[maiden crystal]

Yes, because apparently he installed spyware on corp. machines and tried to blackmail the big cheese of the company

[eternal talon]

sandstone i guess

[quick grove]

My man frosty doing the madness out here

[maiden crystal]

Frossty

you have my axe but give me 5 mins

[quick grove]

What do you call people studing rocks

[eternal talon]

like the 3rd time i've solod it for pics for the lore channel

it's not that bad.

[maiden crystal]

May i please come

[eternal talon]

sure whatevs

[maiden crystal]

chat channel?

[eternal talon]

vc 48

[maiden crystal]

cheers

anyone else coming? for the deep lore? for my dad?

[subtle verge]

That wasn't Schaeffer.

[quick grove]

I didn't even read that

If that was schaeffer man wouldn't be talking to us or the mimic thing

[subtle verge]

This was our man Jordy, the one who also has the log about his prescription dose and he's showing signs of severe addiction and a bit of mania.

[quick grove]

Mania?

[subtle verge]

Manic episode.

[quick grove]

Oh

[tall anchor]

Oh yeah my bad

I got the two mixed up

Also @subtle verge What’s your thoughts on this?

[subtle verge]

Ouch. It's just a coined name that everyone understands, there's literally no harm in calling it that for now since we don't have an official name yet. You're more than welcome to give it a new name like the aforemention Super Gears of Halo Theft Auto 5. No need to be rude, my guy.

[subtle verge]

It's good. There are a few things I would challenge here, but I think it's a good starter.

[tall anchor]

Oh yeah, I'm sure there's stuff to challenge, it was just a first draft

[maiden crystal]

I carried losty through the level, we found several new pieces of deep lore on my dad

[eternal talon]

hahaha sure

[eternal talon]

best pic

[quick grove]

Mmm

Outlining time

[subtle verge]

Hmm...

[eternal talon]

i have other, rotated pics too

[subtle verge]

It does have a very basic appearance of a Mayan carving; also kind of reminds me of a Fallout vault door.

Keeping an open mind: that's pretty big for the future, if it's not a red herring.

[quick grove]

I mean its not something Random the devs clearly put it there

[dim scroll]

Ah yes, the sussy tile

[quick grove]

?

Saint your back

[eternal talon]

geologists.

[quick grove]

Huh

[harsh saffron]

This is probably something completely different but the first association I had was the effect from the terminator just "removing" everything around him when he arrived in the first terminator movie. Except here its not shaped like a sphere around us but rather like a cylinder.

[quick grove]

Why

[quick grove]

?

[harsh saffron]

not ur picture ^^

[quick grove]

Ah yes my man a geologist on another planet

[quick grove]

What

[harsh saffron]

what

[eternal talon]

he's talking about the sandstone

[quick grove]

Oh

[harsh saffron]

I thought that would be obvious because you talked about it for the last few hours ^^

[eternal talon]

i dunno, it's behind where you teleport in, not on it. when i got teleported in b1, i turned around without moving

[quick grove]

Yeah im confused

[eternal talon]

and we don't see one in d1

or a1

or c1

[harsh saffron]

indeed

[eternal talon]

are you saying it might be tied to the teleporter?

i dunno, the shapes just don't really line up

[quick grove]

It couldn't be

[eternal talon]

and you'd think it'd be cut in the sand, not out of rock.

[harsh saffron]

I wish it had a similar effect in d1, then you could just say that its probably linked to being transported by and actual gate instead of these temporary jumps with unsecured artifacts

but no 😦

[eternal talon]

it's just there, it's own thing in b1

[quick grove]

It means something

It isn't random lol

[harsh saffron]

yeah thats too special to be just a random circle

[eternal talon]

well no, nothing is random per se, everything has to be modeled and placed.

[quick grove]

I've also just realized why are there plants behind glass encaged

[eternal talon]

it said in the b1 voice log in the terminal the plants dried out insanely fast

[dim scroll]

1:20 A.M here so i don't have much time to spend

😔

[quick grove]

Ah

[harsh saffron]

relatable

[eternal talon]

but i mean it also said the soil isn't suitable for plant life,

yet the bramble exists.

[quick grove]

So they managed to bring back planets or nah

[harsh saffron]

the plants in the lab are from "excavation deep", so from within the complex

and I don't think bishop started to collect plants

[quick grove]

Ah oky

Fair enough

Plants deep under

Ground

[harsh saffron]

must be some great plants

[quick grove]

Yeah

Who knows

I wish they was the good stuff tho

[solar nova]

It's inherently misleading, and I reserve my right to say it's dumb to call it that.

[quick grove]

Nah it's not

Everyone has a coined named for anything

I call the creature schaeffer talked to the mimic even tho that might not be even its name

@solar nova

Everything and anything in this game that doesn't have a name will most likely be coined by the community

[raven moss]

But you don’t call it “Bishop” because that refers to something else.

[quick grove]

Erm because bishop is one of the characters you play as and that is knowned

@raven moss

The creature that schaeffer talks to is not

Its common sense to name something that doesn't have one

@raven moss @solar nova why does both of you sound like people who complain on twitter

[eternal talon]

good news!

i found a heavy flashlight

honestly was dissapointed with the results. worse than the other pictures i managed

[eternal talon]

also this picture is taken from the exact position i spawn at.

so no, you don't spawn on it. it's right behind you.

[quick grove]

Ah welp that's good so it's got nothing to do with the teleporter then

[cobalt mulch]

looks a bit like the 10cc logo

[quick grove]

Nah

@tall anchor you erm gonna keep updating that with logs because im only interested in logs

[tall anchor]

maybe? idk im lazy

you do it

[quick grove]

No

I don't have all logs

Im only interested in the main character logs and schaeffer logs

@tall anchor is there a way i can find those

[subtle verge]

https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Rundown_6.0

For all your logs needs.

Also, a timeline: https://www.notion.so/GTFO-Timeline-0e93a62e8cfd44b3a36beb4ab245a2d0

[quick grove]

Thank you thank you

No

Im not doing that

[tall anchor]

aww bugger I was trying to pawn off the work

[quick grove]

Oh wait nvm

[tall anchor]

lets see if rav will do it

[quick grove]

Ah schaeffer sounds so happy when he said "FUCK THEM" "FUCK THE WARDEN" like he finally has a sense of freedom but not really freedom he can atleast think for himself

He also shows sadness towards his dead teammates that he was with

It sounds like the broke the program but the warden got someone or at least something to kill them but schaeffer escaped

[worthy flower]

sounds like to me like schaeffer went for the longest kite after his party went down

reminder that in the complex, the warden probably isnt your biggest threat.

[quick grove]

Yep

When schaeffer talks to us in A1 and D1 is is that all recordings left behind or nah

[worthy flower]

some of them were fresh, but by definition, all recordings are left behind

[quick grove]

Ah

[worthy flower]

if you're asking is that all of them in r6

ill check

[quick grove]

I wonder where he "HAD" to go at the end of D1 he just said "no no no, i have to go"

[worthy flower]

deeper, probably.

[quick grove]

Why

Is it because the warden got access to go deeper

@worthy flower

[worthy flower]

id wager a probably.

[quick grove]

True

Because the more reactors that are the deeper the warden can reach

We turned on the elevator for KDS deep so at some point in the future we might even be able to go deeper

Idk my self i know the warden wants power

Hence R6D3 power hungry

[worthy flower]

id probably say the combination of uplinks and reactors lets the warden reach deeper

taking credentials, information, commands from terminals

[vagrant fiber]

So would the complex at this point be a mass grave given the number of causalities.

[broken whale]

does anyone know what is being said when you click on a mission? it sounds like a message but its distorted.

[wispy torrent]

Who the 4 dudes again

[quick grove]

Hackett Bishop dauda and woods

[quick grove]

There

[wispy torrent]

So im woods

[quick grove]

You can be anyone deeps

[wispy torrent]

how

[quick grove]

That audio file is from droni in #gtfo-media just search for sounds and you'll find it droni doing his magic

[quick grove]

Well if you host your bishop if i remember correctly if join second your dauda if you join 3rd your woods and fourth is ummm hackett

[wispy torrent]

[stray bear]

just did R6C2

what the hell did schaeffer see

[lilac island]

That's what we call Schaeffer's Mimic

closest thing we've been able to identify the thing is another variant of Sleeper that's adapting to not be attacked by the other variants along with luring humans to it

[lilac island]

What's known is the workers and researchers within the complex ARE the sleepers we've been tasked with killing due to a parasite

[quick grove]

Its not a sleeper lmao its from the burning bodys hence its ashy skin

[lilac island]

It's theorised to of come from the burning bodies

[quick grove]

We dont have to kill them its just we sometimes have to protect ourselves

[quick grove]

Yes schaeffer talks about a fire mountain of burning bodies

[lilac island]

Talks about fire yes

[quick grove]

Yes and a mountain of bodys

On fire

[lilac island]

could be unrelated

[quick grove]

Nah

It wouldn't have an ashy skin then

[lilac island]

It isn't ashy skin, the skin is see through

it's covered in ash

[quick grove]

Yes paper tin skin with ash

[lilac island]

covered in ash

Nothing is confirmed until we have a closer look

[quick grove]

Yes so what do you get from burning a fuck ton of bodies

Ash

[lilac island]

True, but i also found ash on Red Alpha

[quick grove]

Ash on red alpha?

[lilac island]

yep

C1, the data cubes when you survive on mountainous terrain

[quick grove]

With the amount off dust storms i don't think ash will be any where

[lilac island]

ash comes down along with rain

[quick grove]

That's just sand my dude

[lilac island]

sand doesn't fall slowly

[quick grove]

Last time i checked nothing fell slowly from the sky when you survive

[lilac island]

It's during the survival

[quick grove]

And there is no rain during that time

[lilac island]

We've found evidence to suggest otherwise

[quick grove]

Unless you got screenshots show me

[lilac island]

This video here portrays rain

[quick grove]

I don't want a video

[lilac island]

timestamped along with particles falling down which i believe to be ash

[quick grove]

That is the same stuff from B1

[lilac island]

But one thing is certain

[quick grove]

Thats floating in caves

[lilac island]

Sand Doesn't Fall Slowly

and that to me looks like ash of some sort or some sort of substance

all we have is circumstantial

[quick grove]

And if you paid attention to B1 theres the same slow falling stuff

[lilac island]

neither you or me are right, only the devs will truly know

[quick grove]

I know because I've been on C1 3 times and B1 5 times

I cross check both

Same stuff

[lilac island]

Ok?

[quick grove]

And there's no indecation of fire on Red Alpha

[lilac island]

There is also the chance that it is unrelated

[quick grove]

This mimic creature comes from the ruinsof the burning bodys and ash

[quick grove]

Very unlikely

[lilac island]

Explain to me why it's unlikely

[quick grove]

Because how can that thing come over from that world to ours

[lilac island]

How can the floaters?

[quick grove]

Everything is so extremely hostile on that planet

[lilac island]

i am not saying personally that i think the mimic came from red alpha, just an observation

[quick grove]

The warden couldn't close the quantum tether leaving a literal gateway for them to come in

[lilac island]

They're able to teleport short distances, be able to phase through objects and in one mission literally teleport from Red Alpha to another room without said quantum tether

[quick grove]

They can't travel long distances

[lilac island]

look at the D missions

i think i was referenced D3

[quick grove]

The floaters used the quantum tether to come through

[lilac island]

look up during a fight

[quick grove]

Those are the floaters that came through the quantum tether

[lilac island]

yet they come from a white light

and there's no machine that's using a MWP around

[quick grove]

Because the teleport short distance

Just not long

[lilac island]

short distance is one part of a room to another

[quick grove]

Yep

[lilac island]

its different to send something literal hundreds of feet from one side to the other

[quick grove]

And if i recall correctly they come from under the bridge which is fuck knows how high

[lilac island]

there you go

so explain how they could teleport fuck knows how high to the literal bottom of the rundown

[quick grove]

Floaters teleport but last time i recall sleepers don't

[lilac island]

they're both infested with the same parasite

that we know

[quick grove]

No they are not

Floaters aren't infested with the parasites

[lilac island]

alright mate

you do you and i'll do me

besides, the fun of this is our own interpretation

[quick grove]

Eh true

But the mimic thing looks human and sleepers dont the only thing sleepers got that looks Human is there deformed bodys

But we might even see non human sleepers if we go deeper because of Allens at the center

[lilac island]

that's why i believe floaters ARE infested aliens or my little idea which has no evidence but seems plausible is that it's biomass created by the parasite to be used as scouts/hunter gatherers but as i've said there's no evidence to support that

but again, could be anything until it's confirmed by the creators

[quick grove]

The floaters we see are from red alpha not the where the allen's are in the rock on earth

[analog frigate]

<@&408548765599793173>

[strange inlet]

Thanks for the heads up, handled that spam

[quick grove]

I honestly think mods are the madness tbh always lurking coming to the rescue when needed

[wispy torrent]

Woods is arabic

I heard him talk in arabic

[quick grove]

Woods isn't arabic

Never heard him speak arabic

[analog frigate]

he never has

he is american

[quick grove]

Yes

Was about to say after a quick google search

[wispy torrent]

Lol!!

[quick grove]

Whats so funny?

[wispy torrent]

Nothing

[flat tiger]

it's possible he could've learned a couple words while on his tour of duty, that sort of thing happens a lot with wars out there, but yeah i don't think he actually says anything

[wispy torrent]

Warden is a robot

Idk

[subtle verge]

WRDN is a DI.

[analog frigate]

we only know that he was on missions to venezuela and turkey

[wispy torrent]

What if

[flat tiger]

yeah

[quick grove]

Decision Intelligence if no one knows what DI stand for (ps not saying you don't know punkthulha)

[flat tiger]

yes

[quick grove]

What if?

[wispy torrent]

Idk

Im so confused

[quick grove]

Sit down and explain why you confuse

[wispy torrent]

Idk

[flat tiger]

i remember being the one to bring up what DI stands for for the first time by posting the wikipedia article on it since people weren't sure

[quick grove]

Tbh i haven't seen you talk much but i do tend to forget people tbh

[flat tiger]

i haven't been as active recently

[quick grove]

Explains why then

[analog frigate]

his main acc got hacked

[flat tiger]

it's been a pretty good while since i pointed out the DI thing and formed the idea for how hydrostasis worked

yeah, main account got nabbed and nuked

[analog frigate]

because a trusted friend of his sent him one of those scams

[quick grove]

Damn bro

[flat tiger]

he was in a damn discord call with me when he did it and since nothing happened to him and he was talking so confidently about it i figured he already clicked on it

[quick grove]

Yeah shit happens to quick dude

[flat tiger]

but no, he was so stupid and lazy that he managed to pass on the thing without actually clicking it himself

[quick grove]

?

What you mean

[flat tiger]

he never got hacked, he never clicked the link, but talked as if he did, so he passed the link on, and the link was malicious

and so he didn't get hacked, but i did

[quick grove]

Damn

[subtle verge]

Now that I go back to listening to prisoner voice logs: Woods is Bible-Belt American as Bible-Belt American can get. Going over his voice logs, he sounds like a Annihilationist zealot; with a Tennessee/Georgia kind of accent.

I know this means nothing, but it's triggered some memories from my childhood where I used to hear this kind of zealotry before. Carry on.

[quick grove]

Don't speak

[flat tiger]

definitely more georgia than tennessee

[quick grove]

I literally live in a house where my dad says end times are near

It drives me nuts

[subtle verge]

Depends; you get more towards the Nashville, TN area you hear his kind of accent all the time; more urban-southern. But I'll be honest: have never been to Georgia for more than a few hours, so I don't remember much of the dialects.

Now, you get towards the mountains, people start speaking in Cornbread.

[analog frigate]

yeah sounds about right. when i had to listen to it, he really sounded like somewhere northern, raised in a very religious family

[quick grove]

I've never been in America so i wouldn't know

[analog frigate]

i don't exactly know how to describe his accent, but it's like a family living in the middle of the forest, somewhere northern

[analog frigate]

neither have i

[quick grove]

I find him as an extremist

In his religion

[analog frigate]

he isn't exactly properly theist

[quick grove]

True but i wouldn't know

[analog frigate]

some weird variant of theism, probably a different perspective of protenstantism or catholisism

[quick grove]

Oh i see to much names that give me trauma

[subtle verge]

It's a very southern urban accent; the use of 'brother' in his sentences points at that. Here in the midwest we say "y'all/ally'all/y'aller" and things like that. Northerners have a more pronounced vowel in their words: Minnesota (min-uh-so-tuh) becomes something like 'Min-ee-sow-dah' for people who live in that state.

[analog frigate]

i see

[quick grove]

Yeah i realised he uses brothers as in erm a way to show he sees daude hackett and bishop kinda as family i don't know

[subtle verge]

And if you live in a state that borders Canada, say Wisconsin, instead of 'wizz-con-son' you would hear 'wizz-can-san' from the locals.

[flat tiger]

his use of the word brother is not something that's too southern, it happens but infrequently, and given his not-very-southern sounding accent (at least to me), i think his use of brother is actually a reflection of his religiousness

[quick grove]

Could be true

[flat tiger]

had family living out in mankato, they would say minesota as "min-uh-so-duh"

might be particular to minneapolis

[subtle verge]

Yeah, Annihilationism is a very extreme sect of Christianity; usually the "you're all sinners, you're all going to hell," types have this kind of speech pattern.

[quick grove]

I hear Mina-soda

[subtle verge]

Yeah, I guess I'm more used to hearing very rural accents seeing as I have lived in mostly rural areas. That would make more sense seeing urban environments with that lack of pronunciation.

[quick grove]

Yes but he doesn't talk about end times does he

[subtle verge]

No, he more wants his own release.

[quick grove]

His own release

[analog frigate]

well he has more of a "sent by god" belief demeanor

[quick grove]

Ah

[analog frigate]

seeing how most of his combat situations have gone

[quick grove]

[analog frigate]

and it's understandable why

[flat tiger]

i grew up in la grange, kentucky, about 20 miles E×NE of louisville, the accents are pretty strong in rural areas, but with the exception of particular areas of the states, actual accenting is a bit rare, i think woods likely grew up in a rural area but lost his accent from his time in the military

[analog frigate]

over a month crawling through enemy territories in turkey, every shot missing him

[quick grove]

Man must've thought it was a miracle

My guy they just have bad aim

[flat tiger]

i lost my accent after moving to quebec city in canada, then had a quebec french accent for two weeks (which basically puts a "question mark" inflection on the end of every sentence and then spaces out sentences a bit more)

[subtle verge]

I could 100% see that. I lived in Scottsburg, IN most of my life; roughly 30 mins north of Louisville. So it does make sense that any previous accent he had could have diminished.

Happened to me; lost my Tennessee accent when I moved to Indiana, adopted a more urban accent instead of a southern drawl.

[quick grove]

[flat tiger]

yeah, after moving to the east coast, i picked up a liiittle bit of a generic canadian accent on some words, and have recently been having my southern accent come back due to the words just coming out easier while i'm sick

[quick grove]

@subtle verge @flat tiger @analog frigate alright its my time to sign off I've got work today so ye cheers

[subtle verge]

Have a good one, lad.

[quick grove]

Night

[flat tiger]

see ya man, good luck with work

[quick grove]

Thanks man

[analog frigate]

cya

have a good one

[eternal talon]

i'm pretty sure they are, otherwise they'd just be dead. nam-v doesn't make sleepers by itself, if at all.

[maiden crystal]

Lossty is there a writer dev on the discord that has ever come in to verify thoughts on lore like your rock circle

[eternal talon]

no idea

ask daraxus

[maiden crystal]

I am still convinced it's being overthought and it's just intended as a visual placeholder for where "the teleport" brings you in, like a landing pad

even though you spawn in front of it

also i cleared d3pe overnight 😄

[eternal talon]

ah, good on you. was it the hell i said it'd be?

[maiden crystal]

yes

[eternal talon]

how many attempts?

/wipes

[maiden crystal]

I was very fortunate there's a badass speed runner that specializes specifically in d3

technically 4 i believe over 2 runs

[eternal talon]

not too bad then.

was it Skywalk?

he usually runs levels for newbies.

[maiden crystal]

I still feel c2 was more of a hurdle

No it was Khan

[eternal talon]

sky has been running a lot of c3 the past couple days.

but back onto the topic of lore

if anybody would know devs in here, it'd probably be daraxus

[tall anchor]

nothing like this has ever happened as far as i’m aware

[subtle verge]

There is one developer who frequents this channel that I know of, D0c, but like all of the other devs, he is under an NDA so he can not confirm or deny anything.

An accurate representation of how he comes along:

Gifs like that.

https://tenor.com/view/kevin-zip-it-the-office-gif-11853129

There was, once upon a time however, a moment he stated to not look too deep into D4s data cube jumping as it was "a bad rabbit hole", however he has since deleted that comment which I think might have crossed the line of the NDA, though it is possible that it may have something to do with canon lore.

[frail pollen]

I deleted it (and we don't confirm or deny lore theories) because the lore is for you guys to figure out. it wouldn't be fun if we gave the answers to things

and because I didn't want to keep getting pinged when it kept getting quoted.

[vestal delta]

but if you want to know all the secrets of gtfo make sure you play

[analog frigate]

and read all the logs

also best to be up to date on most current theories

[subtle verge]

This. I've read them all about 5x now just to attempt to memorize them.

[maiden crystal]

lol thanks punk and thank you Doc thank you for dropping in to confirm

he's saying that bc he knows my papap is down there

[subtle verge]

Hey, @shut mountain , quick question for you whenever you're not busy!

[shut mountain]

Shoot away

@subtle verge

You can always shoot a question away, just might take a day or two for me to reply

if im on dnd but always

[subtle verge]

Would it be alright if it is a DM?

[shut mountain]

Yeah its fine

If its heavily moderation related preferably mod contact, but if its something specifically for me or admin you can always shoot it to me or Moon

[subtle verge]

Awesome! I just wanted to ask before I just threw a dart without a heads up.

[tall anchor]

smh my head rav is always busy wdym

[subtle verge]

I have social anxiety leave me alone

[tall anchor]

lmao

Going back on topic - What the hell is the rundown 5.0 logs page on the wiki

and how can I best assemble these into the page I made yesterday

[https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline]

[subtle verge]

Best to ask those who frequent the #wiki-chat because I'm clueless on how Wiki works.

[tall anchor]

It's more about the contents of the log rather than the actual wikitext

(b/c I know how the wiki works, I'm just struggling to understand r5's logs

[subtle verge]

OH. What context are you looking for?

Like.. how are you listing them?

By date or by alphabet or

[tall anchor]

(open the page)

Oh, that's weird

I guess I was looking at the wrong page yesterday

ignore me

For reference: the way the wiki has all the logs listed on the dedicated logs page is different to the way it is on the main R5 page, and I was too tired yesterday and looked at the wrong page.

[tall anchor]

<https://gtfo.fandom.com/wiki/Rundown_005_Logs#QVC-911-POP-4.LOG>

Any idea on who the british voice is?

Is that just a legion recruiter?

[subtle verge]

The "Hello, Woods" guy?

[tall anchor]

Aye

The british guy

Should I just call this 'Woods Religion Interview' ?

[subtle verge]

Not entirely sure who it could be, really.

[analog frigate]

the recruiter?

we haven't identified him

no possible tag attached as well

[tall anchor]

ah

How should I 'title' the interview

[analog frigate]

in the transcript i've listed him as "Recruiter"

[analog frigate]

also no

it wasn't about religion

woods spiraled off into that

due to what happened in venezuela and turkey

but the recruiter tried to keep it more proper interview talk

iirc someone had an idea that he was bishop but the voices don't match up

also intonation and word usage is different

[subtle verge]

It's possible we might be able to ID who it is if we learn which Genesis Operatives were part of the Sigma generation.

[harsh saffron]

I think lilliana means the second audio log for woods @analog frigate

[tall anchor]

So how should I 'title' the audio log then?

[analog frigate]

oooh my bad

haven't done the transcript for that one yet

sorry

[tall anchor]

I'm not doing transcriptions, I'm working on the timeline page I made yesterday

I want to title it something that readers will be able to search through and find it easily

[analog frigate]

i've been doing them (at least when i have the time)

[subtle verge]

'Woods Interview - 0X' (X being the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) or something along those lines for that specific log, I think.

So like 'Woods Interview - 01' or something.

[analog frigate]

it should be 2

[tall anchor]

I've been aiming to call them something relevant

[subtle verge]

Hmm... It's really hard to call it something specific when we know very little of it's context/origin.

[subtle verge]

Could name it something from the interview; like a memorable line?

"Have you reset me before?"

Something along those lines; whichever you feel is more empowering.

[tall anchor]

I'd just like it to reflect the contents of the log for people to be able to find and connect

I could do "Woods #1 - "God told you to kill those men?"

[subtle verge]

I like that.

Just edgy enough to be realistic, but not so edgy that it looks like a Black Veil Brides poster on a teenagers wall.

[tall anchor]

LMAO

[subtle verge]

Think I might hit up a voice channel and figure out if there are any hints to who could be sigma/tau generation of KSOs.

[quick grove]

Sigma

Ive seen that name before in game

On a log or something can't quite remember

[subtle verge]

Yeah, two of the R5 logs talks about Sigma/Tau generation of Genesis Operatives (GOs).

[solar nova]

I believe there's one mentioning "symbols" an operative was responsible for. Sounds like Woods.

[quick grove]

Yeahq

Tho i don't remember what the log about but i remember sigma and tau

[solar nova]

Sigma gen.

[quick grove]

Yes

[solar nova]

D-Lock Block Cipher

Sender:   Ellis Carnegie 
Receiver: Angela Klein A106 
Date:     June 8th 2052
Subject:  Behavioral anomalies among Sigma gen

Ms. Klein,

I recommend only using Tau gen until we have fully investigated the
issue with Sigma gen. The Pretoria lab is running some tests on our
GOs and our remaining Sigmas to isolate the behaviors you mentioned.
A few questions:

1. Can you send photos of the self-harm you indicated with 0-2056?
   We need to confirm if the scarring is indiscriminate or
   definitely religious. Our records show this operative has
   exhibited similar behavior before, despite multiple resets.
2. The head banging behavior is known in toddlers, but we did not
   see that behavior in any of the Genesis Operatives. Does it start
   immediately after resuscitation, or after some period of time? I
   would like video evidence for the records and a more detailed 
   report please.
3. Can you send me a list of the operatives you marked as faulty and
   sent to recycling? We track both organ and tissue stocks here so
   we can trace the history should we need it.

Ellis Carnegie

Kovac Research, Pretoria

[quick grove]

Ah yes there we go

[subtle verge]

That does sound a lot like Woods now that I put it into perspective.

[quick grove]

Ye number 1 is definitely talking about woods

[solar nova]

Knowing that Woods is a Sigma is a bombshell for chad theory.

[subtle verge]

100% agreed.

[quick grove]

Why do they need gens?

[analog frigate]

because they are generations

[solar nova]

Controlling for variables.

[analog frigate]

there is a multitude of them

[quick grove]

Ah

[analog frigate]

multiple batches

[solar nova]

Designating them as generations helps them perform research for the Legion project more consistently, as they'll have multiple samples per generation that have been developed using similar if not identical methodology.

[quick grove]

Ah okay

So whats dauda bishop and hackett then

They sigma to or nah

[analog frigate]

we don't really know their generation i believe

at least the audio logs show nothing iirc

[quick grove]

Damn

They the Chad generation

Woods just evolved from sigma to Chad

[burnt light]

The only confirmed is Bishop being part of the Genesis generation. "Evaluation of Genesis 1395", R5A3 audio. GO, Genesis Operative, I guess.
But nothing about the others.

Not sure if that's the actual quote, I haven't been able to find transcriptions of any of those audios anywhere

[subtle verge]

That's something I'm reading on. But yeah, you're definitely right that Bishop is Genesis. I'm going backwards and reading on when each of the main prisoners became part of Legion/KDS. For example, Woods has been around since 2028.

[lilac island]

Do we find anything about the prisonners and the guardian ?

[analog frigate]

the guardian as in the warden?

[lilac island]

Yes sorry

[analog frigate]

don't worry about it

yes we do

the prisoners (dauda, hackett, bishop and woods) are what we call KSOs (Kovac Special/Security Operatives)

they were originally managed by the BIOCOM

a military DI made by KDS (Kovac Defence Services)

[lilac island]

So we're not playing random guys. It's the same 4 guys being sent over and over

[analog frigate]

which then got basically hacked into and it's protocol changed to WRDN (The Warden)

[analog frigate]

quite right

but we aren't the only ones

[eternal talon]

yes. we are basically the warden's special forces. the best it has.
edit: but yes, it also has many other teams

[placid beacon]

you get the special benefits of living!

[analog frigate]

we do only play as the four, but there are over 2 thousand more

[lilac island]

Do the warden have an army kinda. Every end of mission it says we are mentally "unstable" are we getting drugged for those missions ? Do we have mental illness ?

How is death in the lore

[analog frigate]

we are very mentally unstable

[eternal talon]

if you die, you die. checkpoints are not cannon

[cobalt mulch]

the levels are riddled with bodies of previous attempts

some even stacked nicely (d3 main bh)

[analog frigate]

as Punkthulhu theorises, they are brainwashed as to become the perfect soldiers, a private army for KDS

[eternal talon]

not necessarily. most have hard hats* and stuff so can be assumed to just be the workers of Gargantua

[analog frigate]

those are from researchers in the complex and possible other failed expeditions by other prisoners

[analog frigate]

also death isn't canon

we always do the mission and get out alive

[lilac island]

Okay i see. They HAVE to finish everytime

[eternal talon]

yes.

[lilac island]

I guess they have ptsd and that's why they are so stressed when you meet sleepers or do your weapons (hitting their heads, walking around)

[eternal talon]

the 4 canonically have never died. we are the A team, though it's implied that the warden has other primary teams for the more dangerous missions (ie: retrieving the matter wave we left in b1)

[analog frigate]

yes, and also their background

some were "insane" before the whole thing

[eternal talon]

most are very heavily troubled. hackett killed his 'brother'?

[analog frigate]

and his mother

[eternal talon]

what are the other backstories, daraxus?

[lilac island]

We get their background during missions on terminal ?

[eternal talon]

that's the only i can remember

[analog frigate]

yes

[eternal talon]

i know one was corporate espionage and blackmail

[lilac island]

I only went to B1 max so for now i'm a bit in the fog about everything as far as i know it's some kind of sickness from a laboratory ? Failed experiments that we see in B1 for example no ?

[eternal talon]

the hydrostasis units also continually wipe their minds, so yeah, they are likely having some deep internal troubles.

[analog frigate]

so dauda was a researcher working for KDS, bishop got into the legion program because he tried to blackmail davies, and woods was an amazing soldier most of the time

that's the basic overview

[analog frigate]

that's a deep topic

[eternal talon]

ah, BISHOP was the blackmail one

[analog frigate]

we have the main thing: NAM-V

[eternal talon]

i couldn't remember if it was him or woods

[analog frigate]

actually

[eternal talon]

well we know what nam-v is for the most part. just a couple of kinks.

[lilac island]

What

[analog frigate]

baco, first i suggest reading this

it's a small summary and FAQ about gtfo

currently me and punk are working on an updated version to replace this one

[eternal talon]

nice, can't wait to see it!

been putting alot of research and study into this channel

haven't been this invested in gtfo lore since r2

[analog frigate]

well the lore does go pretty deep

[eternal talon]

oh, daraxus, did you see my post about that sandstone carving?

i got a pic with the heavy flashlight

[eternal talon]

^

[eternal talon]

best pic i probably got was this one with a squad.

[lilac island]

Okay that's really interesting but if i understood well, humanity is kinda doomed ? That's not much people alive after the outbreak

[analog frigate]

yup

[eternal talon]

yeah. basically 95%+ of humanity is dead.

nam-v got out of garganta and killed most of humanity

[lilac island]

Damn i'm disappointed in Humanity

[analog frigate]

99.995%

[lilac island]

Superior species my ass

[analog frigate]

well you can't exactly blame them

[eternal talon]

luckily though, only the virus and not the parasite, so at least there aren't sleepers for the survivors to deal with.

[analog frigate]

that's not fully confirmed

[lilac island]

Virus kill, parasite turn you into a sleeper ?

[analog frigate]

we still don't know for sure that NAM-V causes or doesn't cause sleepers

[eternal talon]

go-to theory is, yeah.

[analog frigate]

it's a bit complicated

[eternal talon]

we know it's a symbiotic relationship

[analog frigate]

mostly

[eternal talon]

we really need a pdf just for this specific topic, huh?

[analog frigate]

well it's not like i don't have one at hand

[lilac island]

"Symbiotic" still turn you into a monster that try to kill other living things

[eternal talon]

no, the parasite and the virus are.

not the parasite and humans.

[lilac island]

Ooooh

[eternal talon]

the virus makes hosts, the parasite controlls them, and keeps them alive to keep the virus alive and spreading so it doesn't burn itself out of fuel.

[analog frigate]

that's still a theory though ^

[lilac island]

But don't you get blood on yourself or wounds by the sleepers

[analog frigate]

remember to take everything with a grain of salt

[lilac island]

You should get infected aswell

[analog frigate]

not exactly

[eternal talon]

point being; together, the virus can be far more lethal and fast acting without worrying about killing its own infected supply.

and the virus gets to claim weakened hosts easier and with less resistance.

[analog frigate]

when we get back in our HSUs, the virus is stopped from spreading, or gets reversed.

as dauda said: "we're all infected"

[eternal talon]

sald

[analog frigate]

i

cmon

[eternal talon]

hehehe

i know

just funny.

a grain of salad.

[lilac island]

What is the ambassador role btw ?

[eternal talon]

update newsletter

[lilac island]

How do they achieve that ?

[analog frigate]

#become-an-ambassador

[analog frigate]

we do not know exactly

punk can answer

[eternal talon]

i dunno, probably same way disinfectant packs work.

[analog frigate]

oh, disinfectant packs work differently

they remove the toxic fog infection

which is different

here is another document explaining what it is

[subtle verge]

The HSUs, Hydro-Stasis Units, put things in to a stasis, to the point of cell death, using a synthetic amniotic fluid. This stasis stops the virus, and presumably parasites if we have them on us, from working. We aren't for sure exactly if we remain infected after we're revived from stasis, however.

It's still an on-going mystery to us.

Definitely worth checking out the FAQ in the pins. We also have a dedicated Wiki with every audio and text log to date, as well as a timeline which you can find in the pins, as well!

[lilac island]

Wait so each time you leave a mission you go to "sleep" and get waken up for another mission ?

[subtle verge]

It's a lot of reading, but it helps you get a baseline idea of what we have to work with and where we're at.

[analog frigate]

quite right

[subtle verge]

That is correct!

[lilac island]

LMAO i understand why they are mentally unstable now

Never ending fight for your life

[subtle verge]

Oh man, that's a huge rabbit hole that I'm working on.

I'm theorizing and uncovering as much as I humanly can on Project Legion and how it affects the human mind and body.

[lilac island]

Can't believe none of them tried to shoot themself yet. As you said there must be some kind of brainwashing

[analog frigate]

they can't

they are physically unable to

[subtle verge]

I'm currently working on a theory for it, and it all points to Project Legion.

[analog frigate]

yup

[subtle verge]

TL;DR of what I have so far: Project Legion is a way to make the ultimate soldier who follows every order without question or emotion. They're given a directive, they do it.

[lilac island]

Why not use robots instead

[subtle verge]

And we can see that in a recorded log we have available to us, where a KSO (Kovac Security Operative) is directed to stand in a closet for 6 minutes.

[subtle verge]

Cost, time, maintenance, upkeep, things like that I'd imagine. It's known that Kovac Defense Services (KDS) uses prisoners and war criminals, as the individual keeps their instinct to kill and training with firearms, however the HSUs wipe memories over long periods of exposure.

[quick grove]

What did i miss

[analog frigate]

not much, just explanations

[lilac island]

Erasing combat experiences. Sound bad to me

[subtle verge]

There are robots in Garganta, however, though I am more on the boat that they were used to move heavy equipment and boxes around.

[analog frigate]

they don't exactly do that

they still keep it to some extent

and they receive further training afterwards

[subtle verge]

Yeah, it's not a 100% wipe, it's more long-term memory loss.

[lilac island]

I see

Gtfo lore is definitly interesting

[analog frigate]

very

[subtle verge]

It's incredibly deep.

Like how we believe that NAM-V has wiped out 99.98% of the human population on earth.

But that's not proven, just lots of theory and calculations.

[lilac island]

Could be fake to make the prisoners "hateful" and need to get a revenge

But that's a lot of overthinking from me

[analog frigate]

they can't really do that

as far as we know, they can't really think for themselves

although schaeffer kinda has

[subtle verge]

We know of one individual who has somewhat broken the hold that WRDN has over us, and that's Schaeffer, who we hear talking to us often.

[eternal talon]

well schaeffer broke away from the warden, didn't he?

[analog frigate]

seems so

[lilac island]

Wdym ? They still feel fear, they can thanks their team mate and stuff. Where are they stuck in their mind ? If i make sense

[analog frigate]

as punk said, brainwashed

they can think yes, but not to a high extent

it's mostly military tactics

[subtle verge]

The main prisoners aren't mindless drones, they still for the most part have bodily autonomy.

[quick grove]

I think the warden is smart enough not to erase any combat experience and stuff

[subtle verge]

However they're programmed to get the BIOCOM's/WRDN's task done.

[analog frigate]

it wasn't it that erased it, it's KDS with the Legion program

[eternal talon]

biocom is gone, isn't it? when the world ended?

[analog frigate]

not really

[subtle verge]

No, BIOCOM still exists, Warden just took the system over.

[eternal talon]

that's what i mean

it's just warden now issuing orders.

[analog frigate]

the Warden is the BIOCOM, just under a different protocol

[lilac island]

Why doesn't the warden send more people at the same time ?

[analog frigate]

it probably does

there are expeditions with the goal to help missions in nearby sectors

[subtle verge]

It does! For example, R6C3, we're a distraction for another team of prisoners.

[eternal talon]

the lift can only fit 4 pods though, right?

[lilac island]

Imagine maps where you could meet other teams

[subtle verge]

There were some in R5, as well.

[eternal talon]

at a time

i mean

[lilac island]

Oh good

[elder citrus]

is that confirmed?

[eternal talon]

it'd have to go all the way back up and all the way down

[subtle verge]

Yes

[elder citrus]

The team is a distraction, but that there are other prisoners?

[eternal talon]

hud display literally states their progress

[analog frigate]

that's the lift we use down the main shaft, we don't know if more prisoners are sent in immediately after it's raised up

[eternal talon]

yeah. another team does the mission, we basically keep the baddies off them

[elder citrus]

Yeah, two tanks and hundreds of sleepers.

[subtle verge]

Yes, it's confirmed that there are other prisoners. Schaeffer, for one, is a good example. And then we think there are at least 2000-or-so more that we don't know of.

[eternal talon]

teams of 4 are probably just standard because that's what most of the equipment is made for

security scans, esc.

[elder citrus]

The machine they are dropped in is made for it too.

[dreamy nymph]

The main thing I'm curious on for that mission is if one of the other missions in the rundown is supposed to be the mission that the other is distracting for.

[lilac island]

Dude

That would be great

But according what they say it doesn't work

Since we always play the same 4 guys

[subtle verge]

Let me phrase this in a way that I understand: you're asking if R6C3 is a distraction for another mission that we are responsible for completing as well?

[dreamy nymph]

Didn't realize that lore wise that's how it was set-up.

[analog frigate]

R6C3 is an expedition to clear out an area for a mission that other prisoners are going to do

[subtle verge]

We aren't the only prisoners being sent on missions, no. There are probably tens of other teams going on an expedition at the time we're being sent on missions.

[cobalt mulch]

to me there has always been the ambient soundscape where randomly it sound like a dying giant with or without gunshots.. just assumed that they wanted me to think theres operations hapoening elsewhere atst..

[analog frigate]

it could be others, yeah

[quick grove]

Jesus im gone for 5 mins and so much to read

[analog frigate]

that's the lore chat for you

[subtle verge]

We're slow for a day or two, then it's nonstop for a week, then back to being slow for two days, repeat.

[quick grove]

Aren't warden protocols to distract the sleepers so that the other prisoners can do their missions quickly with lesser problems

[analog frigate]

or in the ye old days, it was active always, trying to scrape all the lore left in r5

[royal finch]

doesnt check the lore channel for 2 days
100+ messages

[analog frigate]

duck has had it quite the same

[royal finch]

[analog frigate]

with 600 messages

[royal finch]

damn boy

[quick grove]

Jesus

Madness

[analog frigate]

not really

[royal finch]

new method of torture: make people read 600 messages worth of gtfo lore

[analog frigate]

eh it's been kind of repeating

[lilac island]

I love it

[cobalt mulch]

would be cool to sometimes see some npc crew doing something in the distance or have a mission to actively assist or be assisted by a team (not too close tho) .. a figure standing on an unreachable ledge an saluting us as he runs off or sth

[subtle verge]

I don't think Warden Protocols have anything to do with how the Sleepers react; the protocols are simply what the Warden's logic & directive is; it's protocols are basically just: "Here's my end goal, here's what I need to do to achieve it."

[lilac island]

Behind closed doors, guys hitting it with their hands screaming for help that kinf of stuff

[cobalt mulch]

nailed it, yes

[subtle verge]

We theorize that we'll see Schaeffer and his little mimic friend at some point.

[cobalt mulch]

we hope :)

[subtle verge]

If you haven't heard those audio logs yet, I highly recommend it.

Fucking. Creepy.

[dreamy nymph]

That'd be a good way to introduce blood/Motion Sensor doors in a rundown.

[royal finch]

Ngl, seeing another human being in the complex after so long will be hella strange

i love it

[quick grove]

R5B4 was to be a distraction so that the other prisoners can do there mission

[subtle verge]

Right, but Warden protocols had nothing to do with it.

[lilac island]

Don't we have a weapon to see what's behind doors anyways ?

[analog frigate]

the biotracker works differently

[subtle verge]

The protocols are just there to activate reactors, gather information, etc.

[quick grove]

Oh wait what is a warden protocol i thought thats the 30min survive thing

[analog frigate]

oh

[quick grove]

Oh im wrong then sorry i thought tbe warden protocol was the 30min thing

[analog frigate]

yes that's the name for the type of mission

[subtle verge]

Haha no worries. The protocol is just "here's the mission, go do it."

[analog frigate]

it is in fact called "warden protocol"

[quick grove]

Ah okay

[analog frigate]

but it refers to the specific protocol the warden gave

rather being the actual warden protocols

they are a bit conflicting in terms of names but it still makes sense

[quick grove]

But from what i know R5B4 was to be a diversion to help the other prisoners get there mission done and extract when they were finished

[subtle verge]

"Survive for 30 minutes to allow another team to do their mission" or something.

[analog frigate]

yup

[royal finch]

that kinda makes me think how many teams of prisoners are doing a mission at the same time we do

or around same time

would be cool to hear a human scream once in a while, or doors opening/closing

or shots

[subtle verge]

Judging by the size of Garganta and how much we physically travel in the expeditions, I'd assume at least 10 other teams or so, maybe.

[quick grove]

Welp whats with the pipe banging that says hello i don't know which rundown that was from

[solar nova]

You can hear doors every now and then.

[solar nova]

R4B1.

[quick grove]

...-..--...--- something like that

Ye ye

[quick grove]

Sense when

[royal finch]

Kinda struck me as odd we dont ever see any signs of another team being in the same level as us like opened lockers/chests or fresh bodies ig

would be a nice detail.

[royal finch]

😭 guess im deaf

[subtle verge]

That's because we're the "alpha" team, so to speak.

We're normally the first to be sent down.

[solar nova]

Since R1. When you open/close a door, you get an ambient echo from it. If you listen to the ambience of the game, this echo is included as a sound you can hear.

[royal finch]

Damn, unlucky.

[solar nova]

(w/out interacting with a door yourself)

[quick grove]

Because if i may be mistaken we're the first one's to go down to these levels sometimes i think not always

[quick grove]

Wow really got any audio i can listen to

[hollow bough]

always wondered why those noises played, thought it was like pipes breaking or creaking, not other doors/living creatures interacting with them

[quick grove]

I do hear roars sometimes randomly

[solar nova]

^

I don't have a recording, unfortunately.

[quick grove]

So i assume that's a team doing an alarm scan or something

[quick grove]

Damn

[royal finch]

Either I don't remember hearing any of those or my team is usually too talkative for me to listen in on the ambience 😂

[hollow bough]

yeah, probably too talkative

[solar nova]

Not sure what to think of it tbh, but it is distinctly the same sound effect.

[hollow bough]

I did a lot of solo runs in R1

so that's when I heard all that stuff

ambiance related noises

[solar nova]

Same. Also easier for me to notice if I turn my fan off.

[quick grove]

Yeah i turn music down lol to hear shit because it gets irritating to hear constant music in my ears when i play gtfo

[royal finch]

Sometimes I play music because I don't have to rely on my hearing when im with my team, when im with strangers thats a diff story

[quick grove]

Yes

[quick grove]

Wyvrenking literally finished the whole rundown without hearing man is a madness

[cobalt mulch]

i eely on the combat music, and its ending.. and i love the deep chernobyl horns u sometimes get when u open a door an walk in

[quick grove]

Nah

I want to hear where my enemy is at all times

But back to lore stuff

[cobalt mulch]

@keen mantle is a tough nut yes.

[quick grove]

Yep

[cobalt mulch]

hopefully r6.5 or r7 will bring about more cool stuff, more answers..

[royal finch]

Speaking of - anyone know when extension/r7 is coming out?

[analog frigate]

3 different file formats of the new and improved version of GTFO lore introduction. feel free to say if anything has to be added but remember that it has to remain mostly surface level.

[quick grove]

I want to know what the mimic creature is because as of now that thing is down there with us

[analog frigate]

@shut mountain if you could possibly remove the old pin and add this one

ty

[quick grove]

@analog frigate any new theory?

Or has everything been discussed so far

[analog frigate]

nope, just updated introduction, FAQ and summary

(it's the same summary and faq file but with an introduction, but don't tell anyone)

[cobalt mulch]

and also the teleporting sleeper'y creature thing in the dead-end mineshaft, appeared, screamed and vanished or sth

[analog frigate]

ah

[quick grove]

Wha?

[analog frigate]

it's one of the 3 unknown sleepers

[quick grove]

The mimic creature and the thing that teleported in the dark are two different creatures not the same

[cobalt mulch]

yep, "also"

[quick grove]

Ah

[royal finch]

Hold your horses, 3? I thought we only had the mimic thing and the one who manifested from the dark and chased that one dude

[cobalt mulch]

the paperskin audio is creepy as hell

[analog frigate]

didn't chase him, only scared him and disappeared

[royal finch]

yeah that, whoops

[analog frigate]

i'll now write a small paragraph with them

[quick grove]

Imagine hearing the mimic just talk and stuff id shit my pants bro

[cobalt mulch]

word

[royal finch]

Wait till it starts repeating what WE say.

[quick grove]

Mans just sneaking quietly next moment i hear are you a dog or a cat person my friend

I'll just die inside

[cobalt mulch]

hopefully new logs etc give some expl about the desiccated plants on teleport, could it be dimension/teleport/timetravel all combined

[quick grove]

[royal finch]

Hackett, probably: starts teaching it how to swear

[quick grove]

Teleportation not time travel

[quick grove]

Yes

[royal finch]

Imagine you're a prisoner chillin in the dark and then you hear a disorted voice: "FUCK"

[analog frigate]

1: the talking schaeffer creature is pretty self explanatory, you all know it
2: the unknown type of shadow that scared a worker and then just teleported and disappeared. it's not exactly a shadow since the worker saw its shape, not shadow. also the way it just somehow disappeared is very odd
3: the pMother - i have no clue what it is, only its name is mentioned once and that's it

[quick grove]

Yes

[royal finch]

pmother new boss????

[analog frigate]

possibly

[quick grove]

Wait i thought the big fucked mutated mother was called the pMother

[solar nova]

Probably not, seems to be related to the neonate and, if you buy into the Rise project speculation, it's probably related to a KDS project.

[quick grove]

The one with the ribs

[solar nova]

No, there's nothing to indicate that.

[analog frigate]

so something like a cyberdemon type thing?

[solar nova]

Hence why I think people calling it that is a bit annoying.

[royal finch]

Can I get a brief explanation what Rise Project is and where the pmother is mentioned?

[analog frigate]

bioweapon?

[solar nova]

No clue.

[quick grove]

This isn't resident evil lol

[analog frigate]

we know almost nothing about the rise project

[solar nova]

It's a bit less direct than that.

[analog frigate]

the cyberdemon is from doom

[quick grove]

I know

[royal finch]

And here i thought the lore would only get more and more clearer...

WELL THEN.

[quick grove]

I was referring to this

[analog frigate]

ah

[quick grove]

Ya know resident evil with the bioweapons

[analog frigate]

gtfo lore is almost as unclear as game lore can get, but it's the most beautiful of them all

[analog frigate]

i know

[quick grove]

I mean some parts of the game has been debunked and stuff right just not everything

[royal finch]

Its like FNAF when it was beginning to get popular 😂

[solar nova]

The Rise project we know nothing about, but the idea is that it may be something to do with the neonate HSUs we see. However, the linking here is more-so intuition than anything we've seen in logs and such.

The neonate and pMother trial samples are seemingly related. In R2, our first objective (R2A1) is to collect the pMother trial samples, which for unknown reasons seems to be the first objective in a chain of objectives leading up to retrieving the neonate (R2E1).

[quick grove]

Because everytime something is answered a new question comes along

[analog frigate]

not at all, we have only theories, then those theories bring more theories and questions

and it all leads back to NAM-V in some way

and after that, not having enough information

[quick grove]

Ah so pMother is yet to be seen ans then the neonate thing

So yeah 3 new creatures

[analog frigate]

mentioned, but never seen

[quick grove]

Ye

[solar nova]

pMother is probably not a sleeper, though, imo.

[analog frigate]

it's somehow related, probably in terms of DNA, but that's the only relation

[quick grove]

So we got something that talks we got a worse mother and the neonate thing could that possibly be the thing that chased the guy or girl in the shaft?

[quick grove]

So non sleeper monsters

[solar nova]

There's a good chance it's something Project Insight was working on, but now that we know more about KDS and their research initiatives there's a pretty strong possibility that "pMother" is "project Mother."

[quick grove]

Could the pMother even be passive

[analog frigate]

we don't know

[solar nova]

None, more likely some kind of artifact or something that was manufactured or otherwise.

[quick grove]

I mean we already got non sleeper monsters

Floaters

And the kraken

[solar nova]

There's just not much reason to associate it with a creature when the stronger explanation, for now, is that it's something more mundane.

[analog frigate]

that's a touchy topic

they are sleepers no matter in both cases

[quick grove]

Ah

How so

[analog frigate]

those being they are the original species of red alpha but turned into sleepers, or that they are the original sleepers

[quick grove]

Ah

[analog frigate]

there is some connection between sleeper in any case

[royal finch]

.. project insight?

[analog frigate]

it would be very weird thing to just throw in a completely new thing

[quick grove]

So the deeper we go the more mutated sleepers we'll see and possibly allen's sleepers?

[solar nova]

A research organization that works under Dreyfus Industries.

[analog frigate]

well, we still haven't gone to 2k

[quick grove]

Project insight is the MWP i think

[analog frigate]

the meteorite is going to be a very interesting experience

[quick grove]

Yep so theres more monsters to be added

[royal finch]

got it

[analog frigate]

we do have 3 that were mentioned

more opportunities

[quick grove]

Ye but well they probably not even that deep tho

[analog frigate]

we still haven't met schaeffer, seen the talking creature, seen the possibly grown up neonate, seen the pmother

a lot of things

[tall anchor]

I thought we had seen the pMother

I thought that was what was in R3D1

[analog frigate]

not confirmed that we have

[solar nova]

Why do people think this?

Why?

[tall anchor]

Me or dara?

[analog frigate]

no need to be mean about it ray

[solar nova]

You.

[tall anchor]

yeesh

[solar nova]

Nothing connects birthers, a sleeper miniboss, and a "trial sample" related to the neonate.

[tall anchor]

Look man, my knowledge of pmother and r3 is old as fuck

[royal finch]

Can't wait for it to turn out the neonate HSU is a modified mother of sorts.

cause that sure did not look like a human 🤨

[tall anchor]

Okay so I'm honestly really confused now

[solar nova]

We never see the baby, we see a leather cover.

[royal finch]

That's... a leather cover?

that looked like some damn muscle tissue 😂

[quick grove]

I mean nothing fucking looks human besides the 4 characters

[analog frigate]

more specifically a shell of sorts

[solar nova]

Yes, it's a fabric.

[quick grove]

Wtf
