Like fingerprint smudges.
yeah
i swear if its the dots again
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"
That's how I feel every time I figure out what a leak was hinting at tbh
so zooming out to increase pixel density reveals something odd
there is a shadow of sorts
in the middle
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.
could you try to outline them?
i know what you're saying
Yeah, looks like a reflection of the wearer.

Probably
or a very angry triangle
to me it kinda looks like a transparent tunnel of sorts
ah fuck my memory is ass
i can't remember the name of the movie that had that EXACT thing i'm talking about
This is life size.
what the fuck
I only work with HD-Ready formats
I feel like we’re really stupid
Yeah I mean we’re gonna play the thing and feel like it was obvious
like this kind of tunnel deal
so it's like a portion of the actual thing
If the thing is a face, like the shadow
is this a screenshot?
What size is life?
hmm
The “eyes" would be levelled with the black line so the uncovered part
life size
life size says nothing
Could the mask have been covered in something..?
except that there are proper proportions in that image
"""""HD"""""
It's a crop of the full image, I imagine. Also Discord is known to destroy the quality of high-res images.
Yeah it's a crop
here it is when you increase pixel density
crop2.png
Epic
can we see crop1.png?
What about crop.exe?
can we get nocrop.png as well
Crop
and 4k.png also
Based.
No. Classified.
Soon enough
I see, fair enough
I prefer .bat
soontm?
calle making us turn heads as we scramble to decipher such crop.png’s mysterious origins

Calle do we get to know if the crop relates to the fact the image is cropped or what we are seeing
like this is harder than making out the brainfuck code
whereisr6ext.json
"Stay tuned"
That made my day
with the brainfuck code you're dealing with like just data
this is making out something in a blurry low res image
I’m just thinking cause Dauda references things going after his eyes, and crop is slang for cutting in a lot of areas, so what if there is like, idk man I’m just fetching so far at this point
it's too vague on what it can be
cavern, the planet, underwater, a locker, a corridor in garganta
Croppy McCropface
You know what... I think I may have it figured out -- maybe. Lemme' piece it together in my brain first to then word vomit out.
this isn't a dev leak, it's a dribble
So smart-
A Wordle for geeks
ok CEO of Paint
I'm on a Mac, don't have paint
I mean, I have photoshop
both windows and linux xd
epic 2
Don't know if it has any pre-installed shit
nice
Calle is beyond this mortal plane of existence
Zoom blur 😳
idea:
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.
Don't show crop.png!
Could this mean that we're going in to a local "hive" of the sleepers?
Like an ant's colony type deal.
or the meteorite 🤔
Or the meteorite.
However, if it's the meteorite, I'm thinking it's another operative's flashlight/torch.
we haven't seen cretasium so we don't know its colour
we still have schaffe
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?
we've been down to 1.36km
Ahh, gotcha.
Even so, yeah.
I mean the hive thing might make sense
Idk, just trying to think outside the box.
by the colour i can imagine it has to be on red alpha
Hol' up
since sandstone has a deeper colour when wet
That's as far as we've been so far.
that's C2 iirc
idk how deep D4 goes
should be about the same
R6C2 ?
How deep is your love. That's a good tune.
nah it's d4 apparently
1312
Bee Gees hype.
Someone said it looked like a bee...
Not wrong technically
(It's not a bee)
E
It's not the letter E
Y'all should make even deeper enigmas tbh
similar to checkpoint markers on a door, this one marks lockers for loot ^^
Like having to solve several enigmas in a row
to finally get a unique cosmetic & some infos about the next rundown
Calle, I love you you're a freaking genius and I'm pretty sure you either gave us a huge hint or a massively cooked red herring
And I'm all for it.
You guys would solve stuff like that in 13 minutes. And it would take weeks of work 🙂
i'm betting on it
a certain line revealed a lot
Either way, I love you too. Platonic love, but still love.
It's all love, baby. Platonic punk rock love.
Now I need to backtrack and see what i wrote
21st century digital boys!
I've seen them live. Such a good show.
One of my favorites. I got to see them with 7 Seconds and it was... man...
I think NOFX was on the same night
I went to the It's Not Dead Fest in 2015; TSOL, Bad Religion, The Descendents, NOFX, etc. were all there.
calle, no recent message says it looks like a bee...
im def seeing a face. cheek, eye, under it a hand. maybe.
In another chat
I feel like this right now:
Poor Daraxus is hearing my ramblings in DMs.
😎
I'm not "calling it" by any means, but I think my insanity/stupidity is on the right track.
it has to be
it's the only thing we have to see soon
i thought we would see it before extension
but i have some ideas now
more so punk does
😂
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.
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.

Why is this a thing
Calle:
Note to myself: Never mention song lyrics again ^^
Lmfaooo

I'm putting my neck out here: either I'm going to be next greatest meme of this channel/community, or my insanity has become 5head.
I love it.
That is wonderful
Maybe a prisoner?
Not sure what that thing is in the back, but it looks leathery almost
Scratch that, I think there's a tunnel behind whatever it is
wait a second
why does it look like a gorilla
What if the yellow is apart of a piece of glass or something and there is something behind it
Because there is a light
Because it seems odd that it would all be apart of the mask
Because the chips and paint are different layers
Based!?
portrait of albert einstein, on acid.. :)
why does everyone keep mentioning a tunnel? I just don’t see it.
it looks like a piece of metal
Huh that’s weird
The shadow looks like it’s in front of the orange
So like glass?
imagine the orange is walls that are that orange because light it shining on them
the light just looks like the marks on the masks that we wear.
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.
here it is normalised
you can see the tunnel idea more in this
i'm kinda running it through specific filters to reveal some texture
The light looks weird
there is no depth though, looks like a flat surface
yeah, it's normalised
There kind of is depth when you look at it for a long ass time
Maybe the light is a reflection?
That’s what I think
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
not a shadow. theres a light behind it. in the text he said it isnt a leek its a leak. its probably flooded levels. look at the waves in the orange it look like its distorted by being underwater
and how is it just a tiny point not even in the middle
its a leak inside the facility on lower levels
water boards, mario type shit
water monsters will be terrifying.
mutated angler fish type stuff
here it is desaturated to min levels
it looks like a hand print
@subtle verge
grime or something similar wiped off
orange color + bubbles we are probably in a HSU in this picture
hydro-stasis unit
I'm not against the water combat stuff idea, but that would be a huge thing to implement
deprivation tank?
Maybe yeah idk I’m dumb
I don't think the water is outside of the mask.
kinda yeah$
I think it's just sweat beads on the inside of the mask.
maybe the deprivation tank we spawn in is leaking waking up a prisoner early
As someone who works in Hazmat on a daily, this is incredibly common, especially during the summer.
yeah true
here is an inverted saturation
to reveal a bit more detail
more contrast between the black and "orange"
looks like someone being dragged underwater, while a teamate above is looking down with a flashlight into the water
Doesn’t really look like water tbh
it does, and he said leak, it has to have something to do with water
he said idk ab a leek, but definitely a leak
😳
yeah about right lol
thx for that 🙂
colour indexing shows that there is some sort of texture in the darkness and a definite handprint
when he said leek I thought he meant the plant 😔
you can now see the palm and two fingers
lol
it's called a "pun"
yeah those pictures i posted are as much clarity as i can get from the picture
anything else you can make out?
nope not really
yea it might be an HSU if the pic is zoomed in enough.
Looks like an HSU
woooah what on earth happened in this lore channel while i was gone.. it was only like 6 hours... 600 messages??
yep
it was? partly, or the whole thing?
yepyep
could be, using the rain going down the tunnel to mask the sound of the hsu elevator slightly
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.
😳
Was the secret command RESIST useful somewhere during R5?
so what exactly is that, mass of infected shit on the ceiling?
in certain rundowns
and by that same note, the spitters/the shit the mothers always spawn near
you can't. the basic biological changes are too significant aswell as how they communicate in their hive.
unlocked a terminal in r5c3
what?
again, what? you don't mean red alpha?
it looks like a skybox, so that's what im going with
or at least a very minimal view of one
Party pooper :(
Celestial body = 'Red Alpha' yes.
Haha, this will be my new thing
ah, okay good.
I wish I was as smart as your speculations are making me look
c'mon, you guys are giving us literal weeks of speculation for each post
your enough
o7
so what exactly are the monster
I've asked this before but it still doesnt make any sense
which ones. the ones on earth, or red alpha
calle you think too low of yourself
what else are we supposed to expect?
This tbh. Calle is a brilliant lad.
they appear to be mutated on a genetic level like the thing, the flood, or necromorphs from dead space
which ones
on earth, in the complex
i assume your refering to the parasite-virus
yes
ah, yes.
NAM-V
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 just hope that you don’t hate me when you built up all of this expectations around something that maybe isn’t this mind blowing 😉
I mean
it's still interesting either way.
the floaters/the kraken appear to be exactly the same
they are just the infected fauna of red alpha
like how 'sleepers' as we know them are of humans, on earth.
which begs the question of what exactly the fuck the virus/parasite/whatever
Fair enough 😉
even is
it's a virus-parasite symbiotic relationship
they are two different entities
there are infected masses on the ceiling in certain rundowns
Even so, the adrenaline dumps I get from speculating and finding things out is addicting.
... Now I see why conspiracy theorists are the way they are.
and then theres the spitters
different mutations. though, the ceilings could be considered nests.
makes sense
the most disturbing enemy IMO has gotta be the mothers
the way the virus hijacks human biology and twists it
parasite does the hijacking.
they seem to be basically the same thing
not really
idk if the parasite/virus are even different things at all
they very much so are.
if they're not literally the same, they're so closely tied to one another they may as well be
As far as we are aware, the virus just straight kills you. It's akin to HIV where it uses RNA to decipher your DNA to replicate itself.
it does, yeah
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.
agree to disagree tbh, theres not enough evidence either way to say so or not so
it could be considered that the parasite is the 'brains' of the operation, with the largest swath of the mutations coming from it.
there certainly is enough evidence.
not concrete, but enough
Unfortunately there is not. There's large speculation and one can come to the conclusion, perhaps, but there is no evidence.
^
well we have the surface, and the logs describing how they eat through hazmat.
That's conventional evidence at best.
the way NAM-V works is
so, normal evidence
once you're infected, it kills you
Conventional evidence /=/ concrete evidence.
if the parasite doesn't get to you, yes.
then hijacks your corpse, mutates it, and induces extreme bodily mutation
^
not corpse. these are not zombies.
they are stated to be dead
that IS concrete.
in the biology report
at least the original humans who inhabited the bodies are
well that is very different to being corpses.
like I said, it appears to be a john carpenters the thing style situation
it replaces your cells with its own
It's speculated that it hijacks the host, not that it kills it off.
At least, not in the conventional way.
Well
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.
that's more beliefs than fact.
in some forms of death in the hospital your body is still technically alive
for example
ur misunderstanding what im saying here I think
In a clinical definition, I'd agree with you.
100%.
the original human body doesnt really exist anymore, if the way I think the virus works is correct
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.
^
makes sense
What am i looking at?
scroll down and read through the chat merv
Holy shit
My mind is just confused
@agile plinth so pls do explain to me more
Because you took an image made sketches of it
Rotated it
Then you did some magic of all sorts here
i didn't
i ran it through scripts and filters to see more details
I find that the small light is a flash light and that might be schaeffer
because the original image is close to useless
And you found many things
i found jack shit except a handprint of sorts
Hand print on the HSU?
revealing that the white things are smudges on the visor
Oh visor
I'm saying visor since that seems likely
Welp it looks like huge battle sleepers slaps hands on visor charaters kill it and runs sees a light and just goes towards it thats my theory
True it could be either two tbh
Just what's with the orange stuff seems a bit to much
literally everything is possible since calle did a good job at keeping it vague
where
Give me a second
Had to do this on snapchat didn't have any other editing software on my phone
Long fingers
handprint
I only see 4
And then the thumb down below
Oh so you see it aswell
Quite an interesting thing calle has given us here
it looks like a reflection to me
I've now also realized that when a small detail gets released by devs that one detail can mean many things
They've crafted something no other can replicate
You know you can do such a thing by simply zooming in like crazy & cropping a pic right ?
Ah yes
If the image wasn't full blur there would be no problem distinguishing forms
Unfortunately my brain can't really compute that fast because i woke up 30mins ago
l o r e
Gentlemen this is a wall texture
It's not just a wall texture, it's a leak.
The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles.
yes, the coordinates i used in this stamp two years ago
no way that was you? dang it’s been a while
that made the maulmen stamp? yeah.
maul ftw
honestly for the life of me i can not remember where i got the coords from in this server
21°08'57"N 89°29'32"W
you can see a little "LF" in the corner of the stamp. Lostty Frostty. my logo.
the qr code in the corner is a rick-roll.
if you ever wondered what that was.
or were you talking about who found out the coords in the first place?
because i have no idea who that was.
nah i meant you who made the stamp
yeah
it's in #discord-announcements i think
it came out with a bunch of other community made emoticons for the server
damn, that was a long time ago
sometime around rundown 1 i believe.
ah, yes. here #discord-announcements message
yeah, i usually make my art and stuff in Gimp
The coordinates are basically from a freeze frame that was in the reveal trailer as far as I know
🌛
Calle has had a good laugh so far? :)
Someone posted this in #gtfo-media
It's interesting how, without the white parts, the black lines sorta fit
yeah but still, what could it be?
it looks a bit more confusing now
i doubt that this was the actual idea
since it's a crop of something
calle is big brain enough to do something like this but i doubt he wants to torture us like that
That's an interesting pattern
Everyday
Looks like they do fit ye
🌜
Moon?
It's twice now that calle has sent the moon emoji
A coincidence I think not
It would be funny to see just sleepers float in space
ahhhh but notice the waning and waxing moon (orientation) .. and Calle, stop snickering u dog
" 😄 "
Down here, we all float
What you mean
calle sent a moon oriented that way and just now another moon oriented the other way, threat or an opportunity? 🙂
Ah so either one means threat or opportunity
Ay yo its probably got something to do with the mimic thing that schaeffer talks to
Idk
I hope so
Its the only other thing that talks in complex besides schaeffer and the 4 characters and the audio logs
@cobalt mulch sorry that was random
@scenic yacht haven't seen hou in a while
🌓
I figured it out. Calle is using the different moons as a secret countdown. 
the extension will come out at the next full moon 🤡
Just to set the expectations right: it's not about a possible extension
Phases of the moon, eh?
The leak or the moons? 👀
The moons are related to the leak. So both 🙂
Cancelation are based on the reading of tea leaves, not emojis
what the fuck
Calle, come on.. it's not professional to moon us in here. Not that I'm complaining. 
🌗
we are now on the last quarter
calle pls i don't wanna go to space
something dropping in less than 1h? first q 17:00, last q 19:00 .. countdown ends 20:00?
a mad robot went to space
also funnily enough I thought there were asteroids initially lmao
whats all this about space?
Waxing crescent, waning crescent, first quarter, third quarter.
a conspiracy
calle has sent some... interesting messages
considering the pandemic of Nam-v what state is the world during gtfo in?
sounds like the virus was very deadly and spread a lot
also what is the point of the expeditions? why does the warden need all those things we gather for him
We did some "for fun" calculations a while back, and in the best case scenario, 99.98% of 9.5 billion people are dead within the first year, all infected within 150 days.
wtf lmao
The only survivors being around 25-30k people, all due to extreme isolation.
Like hermits, uncontacted tribes, etc.
with the world looking like this why is the warden still active
and where does he keep getting prisoners
We don't precisely know why we're sent down, or what the objectives of WRDN are. We can only make assumptions; preservation of information, perhaps a cure for NAM-V, to kill the Sleepers, etc.
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.
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.
🌝
More mooning. Smh my head.
everyone is dead
I thought 20k was roughly the total human population left on earth?
the human race is whatever, whoever the warden has
And the prisoner pop is roughly 200 individuals?
That's humans on top-side. I can't remember how many HSUs are left, but there's quite a few of them. Though we don't know if they were even used.
it's around 2 thousand
that's only accounting for KDS Deep
There are other locations?
KDS Deep wasn't the only storage location for HSUs
it was the main one
but we see other around
what exactly is the warden
Security program/jailing program
a military DI, originally the BIOCOM but now under the WRDN protocol
Yeah, there are branches all around the world; a lot were stored in Russia, there's a branch in Brazil, some in EUW, etc.
made by KDS
Kovaks defense services?
Yep!
AI made by the last organized human resistance before they went down
i suggest you lads read this ^
now serves as the only thing between humans and extinction
The Mining corpo is responsible for the outbreak right? Just some dumbfucks not wearing protection during a trip.
Yes, check the pinned messages; we have an FAQ and a TL;DR of current known lore to date.
maybe
they are
Not quite. When SMC dug into the meteor, it released the parasite/NAM-V boogaloo. The parasites are able to eat through SCBA (Class A) hazmat.
it wasnt just them "not wearing protection" tho
SMC drilled into the meteor in the first place
although you can't exactly blame them, they didn't know
it had something to do with what we see happen during b1/c1/d1
the teleportation of the floaters into the facility
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.
but then we get into morals
and look buddy, i'm an engineer
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
NAM-V has symptoms that start out as flu-like, but then it just gets worse, and worse, and worse, until it eventually turns bones into a form of cartilage.
they could've sealed the entire thing off and there would never be issues
And splits your skull open, and turns your head into the forbidden bussy
oh yeah, certainly after the first sleepers were encountered
the whole facility should have been nuked
several times
then monitored
Lmfao. We don't really know if NAM-V converts people into Sleepers, but it's easy to put two and two together. We're waiting to learn more about it before we make any kind of claim.
It's indicated in the email that wearing biohazard gear during an operation like that is best practice, and expected. The team that did the operation is recommended for 'demotion' (firing and black list if they can be replaced)
The strikers, for example: we greatly suspect that the parasite uses the intestines as a launching mechanism, or a rope.
let alone when it got bad enough for the mats of infected biomass to start growing on the ceiling
if they didnt immediately cluster nuke the place after that happened
Oh it's not confirmed in logs? We have enough circumstantial evidence to draw that conclusion.
@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
The Nature of Sleepers Table of contents Introduction Anatomy Ecology Behavior Relation to Endemics Infection Results Future Topics Acknowledgements and References. This document is the legal property of the Santonian conglomerate of companies. Any attempt to reproduce, resell or edit this do...
what exactly causes that kind of enviromental conversion, anyways
It's a lot of speculation and conclusion based on real-world biology.
nothing about the sleepers indicates that they'd start making fuckin necromorph hives
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?
the presence of that kinda thing makes them a whole lot more dire than just weird looking zombies
so yeah that makes sense
Perhaps. We do know there were signs of research done as we can see many of the fleshy bits of Sleepers floating in vats in a lot of expeditions.
Though we've not seen any logs that are biology related.
I wonder what processes creates the variants of sleepers
tanks/mothers/chargers
etc
That's a good question; I'd like to know the answer to that, myself. From what a lot of us have gathered, we suspect they work like hives of ants and bees; they create variants depending on what the colony needs.
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
To me, that also points at the idea that sleepers communicate through pheromones -- but that's my headcanon for now.
I'm in the vibrations camp
👀
what im thinking is that they kind of
"memorize" the genetic forms of the sleepers
and replicates them
So, tiger mask anyone? 🌛
it seems the devs were going for that kinda cellular infection/enviromental infection vibe
and it being a whole lot more large scale than just zombos
it's not zombos
That the mask was part of the LUNAR New Year. The Year of the Tiger. Tiger stripes. (I'm sorry)
bout to have necramorphs in rundown 7
that actually kinda sounds amazing. a GTFO style dead space game
cool mask, cool patch, cool work. 👍
yeah that was, the point
I don't know if you can say this at all or not, but: are the 'teases' of the moon faces to do with the name of the emote or the image itself?
For example, 'First quarter with face' is that emote, even though it's a waxing moon.
Does it matter?
Nevermind, I'm dumb.
Haha, I feel so sorry you guys going all in on this
👍
new lore found!
there is water under the bridge in c1 when you get teleported
or at least somethin akin to water
it looks a bit slimey
@analog frigate how bout them lakes now
lakes still show that durant and everyone who went to alpha 2 is blind
i found water...
also plants already do that
as in?
Excuse me
btw a picture would be appreciated
hacker in lobby and a bit rough since i died, but can do in a bit.
log says no life yet plants go brr
in b1
there you go, if you can make sense of that
kinda hard to see cus i'm fuckin' dead, but
it's the best i got
Ye thats water
@analog frigate esplain
from those pictures i see two things:
1 - graphics go brr
2 - weird ass water looking thing
does it make swishing sounds when you go through it?
nah mate it's like ankle deep
also i died
so i couldn't really check
got teleported back
it makes the same sound as the water puddles in the floodways yeah
YET YOU SAY FUYCKING NOTHING WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WATER ON RED ALPHA A WEEK AGO
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
pain
I honestly thought you knew there was water already im sry 😦
i was talking only about the magical lakes and durant was blind about
so you acknowledge, i DID find lakes?
no
well wtf then i'm so confused
Btw I'm trying to read most of this channel and keep up with everything but sometimes I go to sleep and there are literally 1k + new messages or smth to read through 😅
And I thought I read somewhere that you were discussing water on the surface already (with like snow and stuff) ^^
THERE IS SNOW???
I mean it kinda looks like it in c1 doesn't it?
na nvm
thats just the normal particles we have in the complex as well but in blue, no worries ^^
Lmao me and frosty just did A1 again and when we teleported to red Alpha it just said expodition survived
We both was confused
yeah, it's a pretty common bug when reverting to checkpoint when in an expedition extraction scan
96% and we wiped😂😂
It showed 100% when i went down it probably just ticked up when we picked up the matter wave projector
That last few seconds in the scan
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.
yeah we don't know why it is so out of sync
Is that the only one that's like that?
as far as i know, yeah
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.
they long pauses there are on purpose
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.
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
that makes sense, thanks for clarifying that I'm not insane lol
kraken charger when
Lmao
Wait someone deleted my lore relevant post. Sadge. 
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.
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
actually
give me a second
Add GTFO to your Steam wishlist here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/493520/GTFO/
This is a piece of music from 10 Chamber's upcoming game (name and release date TBA), released to all 10 Chambers Ambassadors in December, but now made publicly available. Go to 10chambers.com to sign up as a 10 Chamber Ambassador and follow us on our journey a...
Pale white skin, hunched over, almost human
oooodd
Erm no
The mimic thing gots nothing to do with a mother birthed it
This just a sound track tho
Take a better look at that background picture
It lacks textures but description somewhat matches
Ye me and Daraxus and punkthulhu have debunked that the thing there in the screenshot has nothing to do with the mimic creature
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.
I would not cross out anything as long as we do not get hard evidences tbh.
What
All tho schaeffer doesn't point out that its hunched over
Thats the thing that chances the person in the mine shaft
Two different creatures
I would not assume so necessarily
I would
What schaeffer describes and what the other person in the log describes are two different things
Well, that is you then. In order to be hunched over, you need to be somewhat bipedal
Two different creatures
Schaeffer doesn't say its hunched over
And neither does the other log
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
What's the fun in that? I mean, it could actually be fun
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.
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
Oh fuck to the no thats creepy
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
That would be an interesting enemy wouldn't it
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
It could lure the player idk
lore related npc encounter would be very very cool
i can just see the twerk / dance videos popping up 😄
It could make the players feel its friendly but as it keeps talking it would come closer and just insta kill all 4 players
Idk seems op
Man they can do so much with the mimic creature
scam
charge your phone
Ay you can't call a mans out like that
there is not enough information to determine if the mimic and the tunnel creature are related or not.
True
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.
Yes
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 (?)
Well it be mad if it looks almost human
It's literally from burning bodys dude
Well i at least think it is
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.
what did i miss
My beautiful artistic rendition.
That got popped by a mod, so then I reposted it.
With clarity
So... Question about that big old rock in R6A1 where we take the matter wave projector from... What is it?
That's a big discussion right now. The short and sweet: we don't really know. Some of us assume it's a future earth, some of us believe it's another dimension, others believe it's a planet waaay far out.
OH, the platform in the center?
Yeah, why is that "mount" different from all the other rocks?
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.
I thought that was the meteor. With all those tubes going into it and all.
Oh, no no.
But since it's A1, it cannot be
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.
So it's probably just a big block of iridium inside?
Inside the Matter Wave Projector is a crystal that originates from the celestial body we teleport to.
I mean the rock.. The inside of the rock
I'm not sure what you're asking; please clarify?
I suppose it's there just for dramatic effect now lol
The matter wave projector sits ontop of a big rock in A1. There are tubes going inside said rock. What is said rock? Why is the projector ontop of it?
That was my original question. But I can tell already that nobody knows.
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.
One could imagine it's just drilled that way to be seen easily from the overseeing room that is unaccessible in game but visible
So it would make sense to have a carved chamber like that to help prevent transportation of researchers and workers.
Alright. Another question then... Data cubes. Why do they transport prisoners around?
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
I don't know what that collection is, but I'm assuming it's of alien origin?
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.
Alright, thanks
What are the flying spaghetti monsters?
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
or at least they're using them
They've been exhibiting signs of pack intelligence too
don't the normal sleepers do that too?
What with scouts waking up the hive and waves?
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.
I feel like it's a pack tactic-hivemind blend.
After all, one of the enemy types are literally called 'Mothers'
Mother is just a coined name by the community; there's no official name for it for now as far as I'm aware.
Yeah fair enough lol.
Same goes for the flyers and poppers.
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.
Here i am lying in bed who that the dev leak image was going to be an rundown extended trailer
<@&408548765599793173> Please save us from this DISC-V.
damn i missed the offer
Thank you, Mods. ❤️
what the fuck's a popper
Wall zits.
Yes
the community naming in action 
I have a headcanon that they have sentient thought and that they've all watched Finding Nemo.
"AHHHH-- come on, dude, you made me ink..." Edit: this is sarcasm. You can stop flaming me in DMs now, randoms.
Issa joke, @analog frigate .
ik
Lol
Yes
what
i unfortunately can't recall
Five?
OH
rember that name
hey five
thats me
Hell yeah
thats pretty neat, looking forward to it 
yeah that will be an interesting watch
thats hot
hey lets go! i’ll be looking forward to watching it.
Ok where's the lore
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).
You can also check out the pinned comments in this channel to get started.
Other than gameplay elements what was the big ass monster at D1?
We used the matter wave projector again
So that was sumn
Looked like an old facility we teleported too
Not sure what the latest theory is but I think it was either just a species living there or its also infected by the parasite.
Did it teleport you to an alien world?
Is garganta at earth?
yes
Yeah we don't know if its another planet in our dimension, another dimension entirely or something else.
Gtfo lore
indeed
Hey there! You can find a current summary, FAQ, and a small beginner's guide to the lore and how it works in the pinned comments! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and someone will reply ASAP!

Lore summarized
Govern Turtles For Opportunity
GTFO
So do we add lore or just talk about it?
I have a Theory but I don't think people like it
understandable
though remember: most people here are open-minded, we're open to anything
No one liked the theory that earth was a sphere when it was first explicited
lol
Looked like Arizona to me tbh
looked like iowa in 250 years
Or just the grand canyon. Same bigass valley.
I respect the choice to keep it to yourself, however I guarantee you that it's not half as silly as some of the theories I've presented in here. 
yeah our tinfoil hat theory on what the dev leak means is...
KEKW
"2pm by the latest" lol
Skyrope bullying smh 
nah i just wanna watch it thats all
same👀
Internet went out because of snow storm
And power
So I’m kinda fucked
Until it’s back up
hey y'all, does anyone want to take over my lore database? @solar nova i know you were really interested in it
i just don't have time to keep it updated
chase
i’m really sorry but i just made a wiki page that does a similar thing
yours is much better none the less, but i still did it
Sure.
Only thing I'd super need to know is where you're pulling the audio files.
Yeah, I'd just need to know the basics of how to get them myself (or who to ask).
in fire alpaca lmaoo
