Turns out, there really is a Kraken under the ocean of sand.

i imagine we'll just reach the part where it appears in the extension and we're gonna think "oh my fucking god what fucking idiots are we, it's so obvious"

so zooming out to increase pixel density reveals something odd

#

there is a shadow of sorts

i looked like a locker

Could this also potentially be a heat mechanic like they joked about? Lmao. It could be beads of sweat, too.

Doesn’t this kinda look like a face? I mean mouth and a nose

analog frigate
#

could you try to outline them?

i know what you're saying

Yeah, looks like a reflection of the wearer.

Probably

Nose and lips.

to me it kinda looks like a transparent tunnel of sorts

If the thing is a face, like the shadow

Alright, so.. it's not underwater, we're actually really far down, presumably on the celestial body we transport to, a cave system and we're looking up at a crack that leads to the surface. What we're seeing as the light waaaaay far back is actually sunlight. However, down here, it's really warm as we're in a desert cave, so what we're seeing is sweat beads on the mask of the operative.

dull crest
subtle verge
#

Could this mean that we're going in to a local "hive" of the sleepers?

#

Like an ant's colony type deal.

analog frigate
#

or the meteorite 🤔

subtle verge
#

Or the meteorite.

#

However, if it's the meteorite, I'm thinking it's another operative's flashlight/torch.

analog frigate
#

we haven't seen cretasium so we don't know its colour

subtle verge
#

However, I will say this:

#

Would we go from 1200m to 2km just like that? When there's a lot more of Garganta to explore/give power to the Warden?

analog frigate
#

we've been down to 1.36km

subtle verge

Ahh, gotcha.

but still

a lot left

subtle verge

Even so, yeah.

pulsar rampart

I mean the hive thing might make sense

subtle verge
#

Idk, just trying to think outside the box.

analog frigate
#

by the colour i can imagine it has to be on red alpha

dim scroll
#

Hol' up

analog frigate
#

since sandstone has a deeper colour when wet

dim scroll
#

1.36 km is the intended depth ?

#

or the current depth we're in (because of D4) ?

subtle verge

That's as far as we've been so far.

analog frigate

idk how deep D4 goes

should be about the same

I haven't laughed that hard in weeks.

😂

finite vine
# analog frigate

it looks like the image was taken from the perspective of someone looking through a mask with water drops and streaks on it. The orange and black thing in front of the mask could be anything, it could be a door, a new object, or a new environment.

analog frigate
#

yeah

#

it's too vague

subtle verge
#

This one is going to get criticized hard, but I'm sharing it anyway because >insert Always Sunny in Philadelphia meme here.< Please, for the love of all that is good, don't take this too seriously because I'm eating a roll of tinfoil as we speak on this one:

I think I know what the image is: it's perspective from the inside of a floater hive. From the image we've been given, I'm thinking it's the entrance/exit of the hive that leads to the surface of the celestial body we go to, and what we're seeing is the very faint light from the local sun. I believe we're going in to the aforementioned hive to potentially stop the invasion of the floaters through the broken tether that we left behind in B1. It's the POV of the player looking up towards the ceiling and seeing that. Now, why do I think this? This is where the tinfoil comes in to play: the cryptic mastermind that is Calle. I'm linking the two images that I think is either A. the hint, or B. the red herring, and below that is a lyric from the Bee Gee's song 'How Deep is Your Love'. "You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour." Also, we don't get thwapped by the floaters like the strikers, we get stung like a bee from it's projectile(s).

Now, I understand that this could very well be a red herring, and I guarantee I'm grasping at straws in a manic episode that can only be described as Dave Chappelle's famous "gotcha, bitch" moment... but I blame it on the coffee.

#

COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT.

What if the yellow is apart of a piece of glass or something and there is something behind it

#

Because there is a light

celest pagoda
#

I think that may be it, it seems semi-transparent

#

1 sec

pulsar rampart
#

Because it seems odd that it would all be apart of the mask

Because the chips and paint are different layers

why does everyone keep mentioning a tunnel? I just don’t see it.

it looks like a piece of metal

😦

pulsar rampart

The shadow looks like it’s in front of the orange

So like glass?

analog frigate

and it's kinda like a tunnel with 2 parallel walls

with a light at the end

finite vine

I see it now. it’s gotta be a small tunnel though because it looks really close.

yeah perspective is funky

it still looks like a piece of metal with black paint on it though to me.

it's the circle i mentioned earlier

it might be a symbol or something.

you can see the tunnel idea more in this

i'm kinda running it through specific filters to reveal some texture

pulsar rampart

The light looks weird

finite vine

there is no depth though, looks like a flat surface

analog frigate

yeah, it's normalised

pulsar rampart
celest pagoda

Maybe the light is a reflection?

pulsar rampart

#

here is an emboss with depth

the weird circle is still here

i’m still set on my first assumption. it looks like a flat metal surface with streaks of paint on it.

but then where does the light come from

maybe the deprivation tank we spawn in is leaking waking up a prisoner early

they just look like the ghosts in metro. realistically, i have no idea how you'd explain how they make sense, i mean in metro, they were actual ghosts.

some snakes in the wild, corn-snakes especially, can mutate to have multiple heads. so it really is not that far fetched.

they appear to be mutated on a genetic level like the thing, the flood, or necromorphs from dead space

on earth, in the complex

i assume your refering to the parasite-virus

NAM-V

eternal talon

#

well, nam-v is the name of the virus

Here's the biology report if you fancy it, Disciple. It's a lot of speculation, but it ties in real-world biology to it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HR8ij7DxmU8F-2H4QYqaEnoBQJ1qABHF4l5ml7JTuPI/edit

I mean

eternal talon

the floaters/the kraken appear to be exactly the same

like how 'sleepers' as we know them are of humans, on earth.

lilac island
#

which begs the question of what exactly the fuck the virus/parasite/whatever

dull crest
lilac island
#

even is

eternal talon
#

they are two different entities

lilac island
#

there are infected masses on the ceiling in certain rundowns

subtle verge
lilac island
#

and then theres the spitters

eternal talon
lilac island
#

makes sense

#

the most disturbing enemy IMO has gotta be the mothers

#

the way the virus hijacks human biology and twists it

eternal talon
lilac island
#

they seem to be basically the same thing

eternal talon
#

not really

lilac island
#

idk if the parasite/virus are even different things at all

eternal talon
#

they very much so are.

lilac island
#

if they're not literally the same, they're so closely tied to one another they may as well be

subtle verge
eternal talon
#

the virus infects and creates hosts, the parasite controls them and keeps the virus alive to facilitate an incredibly fast infection rate and 100% lethality without it burning itself out of infected.

lilac island
#

agree to disagree tbh, theres not enough evidence either way to say so or not so

eternal talon
#

it could be considered that the parasite is the 'brains' of the operation, with the largest swath of the mutations coming from it.

eternal talon
#

not concrete, but enough

subtle verge
lilac island
#

^

eternal talon
#

well we have the surface, and the logs describing how they eat through hazmat.

subtle verge
#

That's conventional evidence at best.

lilac island
#

the way NAM-V works is

eternal talon
lilac island
#

once you're infected, it kills you

subtle verge
#

Conventional evidence /=/ concrete evidence.

eternal talon
lilac island
#

then hijacks your corpse, mutates it, and induces extreme bodily mutation

eternal talon
eternal talon
lilac island
#

they are stated to be dead

eternal talon
#

that IS concrete.

lilac island
#

in the biology report

eternal talon
#

no zombies here.

#

@subtle verge @analog frigate

lilac island
#

at least the original humans who inhabited the bodies are

eternal talon
#

well that is very different to being corpses.

lilac island
#

like I said, it appears to be a john carpenters the thing style situation

#

it replaces your cells with its own

subtle verge
#

It's speculated that it hijacks the host, not that it kills it off.

#

At least, not in the conventional way.

pulsar rampart
#

Well

subtle verge
#

If you consider true death as in the death of "you" as in the "you" that is the voice that reads these sentences, then I guess you could call it that.

lilac island
#

its as true a death as anything else

#

human consciousness is no longer there

eternal talon
#

in some forms of death in the hospital your body is still technically alive

#

for example

lilac island
#

ur misunderstanding what im saying here I think

subtle verge
#

100%.

lilac island
#

the original human body doesnt really exist anymore, if the way I think the virus works is correct

subtle verge
#

However in the terms of parasites: they can hijack the host without killing the body, so to speak.

#

Looking at the parasites that eat snail eyes and then becomes it's eyes, or the parasites that hijack an insect's brain.

#

Fungus can do it, as well, like cordyceps.

# young patio and where does he keep getting prisoners

Warden is just a DI, it was injected in to the BIOCOM system at some point before the collapse of Garganta, and it took over the BIOCOM system some time ago; see the brainFuck code in the pins, for example.

TL;DR - it's an Artificial Intelligence with a goal that we don't know of.

subtle verge
# young patio and where does he keep getting prisoners

The prisoners are people who were inducted in to Project Legion; war criminals, violent murderers (we suspect), things like that. In Hackett's case, he volunteered for the program. For Dauda, he jumped into an HSU to escape the Sleepers.

#

I forget the exact number of prisoners, but iirc we know there are a lot of them; upwards of 20k or so, though we don't know how many of those are active or have survived.

lilac island
#

it wasnt just them "not wearing protection" tho

analog frigate
#

SMC drilled into the meteor in the first place

#

although you can't exactly blame them, they didn't know

lilac island
#

it had something to do with what we see happen during b1/c1/d1

#

the teleportation of the floaters into the facility

elder citrus
#

Read through some emails in the current run. Two dudes part of a team that wasn't wearing protection reported flue like symptoms two weeks after a trip. No one sealed the artifacts they acquired either. They later disappeared.

analog frigate
#

and look buddy, i'm an engineer

lilac island
#

if you told me that drilling into the chixulub crater would unleash an ancient parasite that would wipe out humankind

I'd laugh at you

they could have never expected it

yeah but after that

oh yeah, certainly after the first sleepers were encountered

the whole facility should have been nuked

then monitored

@elder citrus If you're into Biology, or like reading thesis papers, check out this one written by Daraxus, Dagga, and our local biology expert Dr Grem: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HR8ij7DxmU8F-2H4QYqaEnoBQJ1qABHF4l5ml7JTuPI/edit

lilac island
#

what exactly causes that kind of enviromental conversion, anyways

subtle verge
#

It's a lot of speculation and conclusion based on real-world biology.

lilac island
#

nothing about the sleepers indicates that they'd start making fuckin necromorph hives

elder citrus
#

We haven't seen how they behave when they are not sleeping and we are not killing them. So maybe there are logs of that behavior?

lilac island
#

the presence of that kinda thing makes them a whole lot more dire than just weird looking zombies

#

so yeah that makes sense

subtle verge
#

Though we've not seen any logs that are biology related.

lilac island
#

I wonder what processes creates the variants of sleepers

#

tanks/mothers/chargers

#

etc

subtle verge
lilac island
#

interesting

#

that ties into what I suspect they do, in a sense, I guess

#

we see "cocoons"

#

that seemingly spit out sleepers of various types

subtle verge
#

To me, that also points at the idea that sleepers communicate through pheromones -- but that's my headcanon for now.

tall anchor
#

I'm in the vibrations camp

👀

lilac island
#

what im thinking is that they kind of

"memorize" the genetic forms of the sleepers

and replicates them

Is the audio log in B1 between Teale and her patient really messed up? The audio is out of order and doesn't seem to match the transcript on the wiki and I feel like I'm going crazy because I don't remember it being like this before.

analog frigate
rose hinge
#

Is that the only one that's like that?

analog frigate
#

as far as i know, yeah

rose hinge
#

gotcha, I wasn't sure if it was on purpose. The log at the end of C2 with Schaeffer has like 20 second pauses in it that seem.. excessive and I wasn't sure if that was the same case there.

analog frigate
#

they long pauses there are on purpose

rose hinge
#

He does ask the thing if it's human right after it literally says it's human which was a little awkward, but not totally out of place given the context.

analog frigate
#

yes

#

and it doesn't answer for a reason

we assume that it just can't since it can only mimic what it has heard

or something similar

Reposting with more clarity: artistic rendition of our best friend: Schaeffer's Mimic (R6C2 audio logs). I used a yogurt creature thing from a Skittles commercial. I'm watching you, mods. 👀

#

Background from within game, of course.

#

That's what I envision when I think of those logs -- kinda.

vagrant fiber
#

The ship of thesesus what came first the Schaefer creature or the human it was presumably was before hand. Who knows if a specialized Mother would have birthed it or it's some unfortunate human getting exposed to Nam-V in micro doses or defective parasite assimilation.

We might have an actual depiction of that thing

Take a better look at that background picture

#

It lacks textures but description somewhat matches

quick grove
#

Ye me and Daraxus and punkthulhu have debunked that the thing there in the screenshot has nothing to do with the mimic creature

vagrant fiber
#

Noted hypothetical statement given the extent of morphology nothing can be ruled out. Leaving only this thing is human given that its cognitive functions remain somewhat given auditory responses yet cannot react to other auditory stimulus from another human.

WoodsPraise I would not cross out anything as long as we do not get hard evidences tbh.

quick grove
#

Thats the thing that chances the person in the mine shaft

#

Two different creatures

shut mountain

I would not assume so necessarily

quick grove
#

I would

#

What schaeffer describes and what the other person in the log describes are two different things

shut mountain
#

sus_hackett Well, that is you then. In order to be hunched over, you need to be somewhat bipedal

quick grove
#

Two different creatures

#

Schaeffer doesn't say its hunched over

#

And neither does the other log

shut mountain
#

Possibly

#

Wouldnt assume 100% unless I see it in game ROFLMAOok

quick grove
#

Eh i hope the mimic thing comes in rundown 7 as something passive and that doesn't try to kill you

#

Like everything else in this game does

shut mountain
#

What's the fun in that? I mean, it could actually be fun sherlock Imagine you hear the terminal beep for an audio, you play it and move on...as you move on you hear the log play again, but you are zones away and its the creature mimicking it as they follow you.

quick grove
#

But seeing how 10chambers has made the game to only let the players suffer id hardly see it being passive

#

Maybe an enemy that doesn't die

quick grove
#

Hearing the same log in the room next to you and you realize everyone is next to you and you Also know for a fact that there isnt a terminal in the room next to you with the same log because the terminal with the log is like 7 rooms away

#

Now that is truly terrifying

#

Seeing that thing just pop through the door and say are you a dog or cat person

#

Id just leave the game

#

Mans out

quick grove
shut mountain
#

Ye, but how would it be an enemy itself then? Simply mimicry works for paranoia, but unless it attacks / attracts other enemies it cannot be really made into an enemy. I assume the mimicry could be used as manipulation of some kind but

#

lots of possibilities

quick grove
#

It could lure the player idk

cobalt mulch

True

finite vine

i only say that because the only thing described about the tunnel creature is the fact that is looks strong and is hunched over. that’s it.

quick grove
#

Yes

proud mason
#

And that it is "sort of human", which is later said about the mimic ("almost Human"), I think the similar (yet different) descriptions signify its most likely the same creature (?)

quick grove

Well it be mad if it looks almost human

It's literally from burning bodys dude

# shut mountain https://youtu.be/vILLnzOReqU

If memory serves, I remember this creature in the background being discussed forever ago, and allegedly this was a variant of Sleeper that never made it to the game (yet). But I think it was given the name "berserker" or something. It was supposed to be a super agile heavy hitter.

The image sparked that memory from a little over a year ago or so.

So... Question about that big old rock in R6A1 where we take the matter wave projector from... What is it?

subtle verge
sacred cargo
#

No, no... The rock with all the tubes

#

At the end of R6A1

subtle verge
#

OH, the platform in the center?

sacred cargo
#

Yeah, why is that "mount" different from all the other rocks?

subtle verge
#

I think it's just that, really, a platform. There really isn't any signs that point to any suspicion as far as I'm aware.

sacred cargo
#

I thought that was the meteor. With all those tubes going into it and all.

subtle verge
#

Oh, no no.

sacred cargo
#

But since it's A1, it cannot be

subtle verge
#

A1 is only around 1km below ground. The meteor is at 2km.

#

D4, for example, is 1384m (or 1348? Idk numbers are hard without coffee) under ground.

sacred cargo
#

So it's probably just a big block of iridium inside?

subtle verge
#

Inside the Matter Wave Projector is a crystal that originates from the celestial body we teleport to.

sacred cargo
#

I mean the rock.. The inside of the rock

subtle verge
#

I'm not sure what you're asking; please clarify?

sacred cargo
#

I suppose it's there just for dramatic effect now lol

sacred cargo
#

That was my original question. But I can tell already that nobody knows.

subtle verge
#

Ah, thank you. I couldn't really tell you the exact reason why that is the case. I suppose it's for dramatic effect, or the pipes could be part of a reactor that delivers power to that room in particular.

#

There's not really a way to explain why that room is the way it is.

#

It could have something to do with research from afar, as the crystal inside the MWP has transported workers previously when its effects were unknown. And judging by what it does to us in that room, it could be that the device itself isn't 100% stable.

rich blaze
#

One could imagine it's just drilled that way to be seen easily from the overseeing room that is unaccessible in game but visible

subtle verge
#

So it would make sense to have a carved chamber like that to help prevent transportation of researchers and workers.

sacred cargo
#

Alright. Another question then... Data cubes. Why do they transport prisoners around?

rich blaze
#

They're from the Hammerstein collection

#

C1 audios talk about it transported people and made two workers poof

#

and two others being "taken care of" by Kovak

sacred cargo
#

I don't know what that collection is, but I'm assuming it's of alien origin?

subtle verge
#

Dr Stokes notes that they somehow fit in with the Matter Wave Projector, and that they're 'data blocks' however they currently have no known way of accessing said data. As far as why they teleport you, we don't have any real concrete evidence as of yet.

Dr Hammerstein was a very pretentious, high-up researcher. He named the collection the 'Hammerstein Collection' after himself, which really only consists of the data blocks.

rich blaze
#

It's been excavated from below

#

don't forget the MWP is also from the collection

sacred cargo
#

Alright, thanks

forest shard
#

What are the flying spaghetti monsters?

sacred moon
#

afaik the current "main" theory is that they are some kind of original inhabitant creature, possibly animal, of Red Alpha, that also got parasitised by the sleepers

#

since they're far different from anything we've seen, very evidently followed us (or previous expeditions pre-outbreak even) back to garganta. and they're very obviously working together with all things sleeper

rich blaze
#

or at least they're using them

#

They've been exhibiting signs of pack intelligence too

sacred moon
#

don't the normal sleepers do that too?
What with scouts waking up the hive and waves?

subtle verge
#

There's a lot of theories about how they work in that regard. Some think it's pack tactics, others think it's hive mind; personally I believe it's pheromone response.

crisp sage
#

I feel like it's a pack tactic-hivemind blend.

#

After all, one of the enemy types are literally called 'Mothers'

subtle verge
#

Mother is just a coined name by the community; there's no official name for it for now as far as I'm aware.

crisp sage
#

Yeah fair enough lol.

subtle verge
#

Same goes for the flyers and poppers.

rich blaze
#

but anyway flyers exhibited NOTED behaviour like this

#

as said in the D3 log

Behavior like that is noted in just about all social predatory species. It wouldn't be too surprising if the flyers/the Kraken were a native species to the celestial body.

Ok where's the lore

harsh saffron
#

99% of the lore can be found in terminals in the form of either audio or text logs. Type "Logs" into any terminal you want and then read the displayed log file by typing "Read <File name>". Most terminals only have 1 log on them but in the current Rundown, you will find new ones pretty fast (on B1 for example it feels like every single terminal has a new log on it).
