THE CODE WAS IN FACT ''HERE''

stone vine
eternal talon
#

What are we talking about?

analog frigate
#

nothing really

#

kinda been empty for some time

#

no one asks questions anymore since they probably the faq/summary

#

or they start typing but think it's a dumb question so they don't say it since they don't know that dumb questions are good

#

most theories have been discussed and nothing much can be formed until the extension arrives

eternal talon
#

We know what that leak picture is all about?

analog frigate
#

no

eternal talon
#

Do we know we are getting an extension, and not r7?

analog frigate
#

probably getting an extension

eternal talon
#

Well damn, I mean any day now

#

Or at least I would hope

analog frigate
#

calle would probably post a leak before it comes out

subtle verge
#

And then the leak is just another mask.

analog frigate
#

or the lunar new year mask

subtle verge
#

Or a newly introduced MTX color palette. /s

eternal talon
#

steampunk mask

subtle verge
#

Tbh I'd toss $7.50 for a Lovecraftian Horror-type mask.

#

Anyway, back to my echo chamber to await for extension.

analog frigate
#

i would if had the money myexpeditionbesofine

subtle verge
# analog frigate fancy

All the cool kids are doing it these days. I hear ego inflation through feedback loops makes you smarter.

analog frigate
#

eh

#

my place is a bit dark

subtle verge
#

I'm totally joking. Im catching up on some reading that I've put on the back burner for too long.

analog frigate
#

being productive i see

#

i wish i was, i say as i start up vic2

eternal talon
#

i just had the most broken game of GTFO i've ever had.

#

the game bugging out, multiple crashes, all kinds of whacky shit

eternal talon
#

didn't even give me credit for the level

dim scroll
#

😳

eternal talon
#

which really is the BS

#

but, i did manage to get pics from d1

#

which was the level that my game was bugging on

#

i've done d1 before and it's never done that

#

d1 teleporter room door

#

teleporter fx

#

same plants as in b1

#

horizon is empty

#

close up on plant bud

#

peak of mountain on d1

#

moon and sky

marsh wave
#

@eternal talon my team and I also experienced quite a fun d1

#

Teamm8s picking up the fog turbine and being unable to drop it

#

Rejoining and still the same problem

#

6 bosses spawning inside of each other

#

And so on kekw

#

Should've set up the sentry on the moon

tidal wraith
#

Don't think devs would do this in pubs as intersting as it would be. If you can send us a report and any details via @ruby lake it would be appreciated

dim scroll
#

smh

tidal wraith
#

definitely didn't expect to see this in the lore channel

analog frigate
#

chonkyyy

#

how is it going

tidal wraith

#

"Completion doesn't matter to me" then why were you complaining about that LMAO

eternal talon
#

because it would to somebody new to the game that actually needs that completion to progress?

#

besides, that's not talk for this channel. go to #general

fluid kraken
#

You posted it here in the first place but alright LMAO

eternal talon
#

i posted pictures for LORE. i mentioned it as an aside. besides, the mods removed those posts and pictures, so it's no longer relavant here.

fluid kraken
#

They didn't remove the pictures though 💀

eternal talon
#

they did the pictures that had the people's info in it and the illegal turret locations

#

but you can't see them, because as i said, the mods REMOVED THEM

quick grove
fluid kraken
#

I wasn't talking about new players when I said that, I was talking about him going "That is the bs" when he said that completion doesn't matter

eternal talon

enough about that

this is the lore channel

<@&408548765599793173>

quick grove
analog frigate
#

what the fuck is happening in the lore channel

fluid kraken
#

I wasn't saying that he couldn't complain, just pointing out the fact that he said he didn't care about the completion after not getting it smh

eternal talon
#

we need order in this council

fluid kraken
#

Also Lostty, why did you ping the mods when I am not even trolling here

eternal talon
quick grove
fluid kraken
#

I literally never said that

#

He complained about not getting completion and then said that he didn't care about it, which makes no sense

compact sinew
#

Hey guys

fluid kraken
#

I didn't say that he couldn't complain about it

compact sinew
#

Can we please move this out of the lore channel?

eternal talon
#

this is a mess

quick grove
#

Okay and what if he doesn't care he's trying to probably protect others from running into fake devs and hackers

fluid kraken
compact sinew
#

This isn't the place for this kind of conversation.

compact sinew
#

If you want to report someone for modding or cheating in some way please use @ruby lake and we will handle it that way, it's not something that needs to be argued back and forth publicly, and especially not in the lore channel ♥

eternal talon
#

the lore channel is a place of peace and theory, not for beratement and argument.

#

now, finally back on topic

eternal talon
#

ontop the mountain

eternal talon
eternal talon
analog frigate
#

plants are a dead end

eternal talon
#

still grow

quick grove
#

Looks like tbe same to me

analog frigate
#

there is nothing about how they work

quick grove
#

From B1

#

They just show that there is rain of some sorts on the planet

eternal talon
#

like having a bit of shrubbery on the top of mount everest

#

it is at least an interesting thing, no?

fluid kraken
#

Actually I was about to say that there are plants that can survive without rain, but there are clouds in the sky

#

They could just be somewhat regular plants

#

Just look like regular desert shrubbery

eternal talon
#

the soil texture is kind of simmilar to what we see at alpha two, if a bit rocky

#

however

eternal talon
#

or at least growing under the cliff face with minimal sunlight

fluid kraken
#

And completely exposed to the elements nonetheless

#

They'd get plenty of sun the cliff faces towards where the sun rises or sets

#

Just for smaller amounts of time

eternal talon
#

i suppose

#

still, surely it must be very cold that far up

fluid kraken
#

On the other hand, they don't have leaves, which means there probably isn't much photosynthesis going on anyways

eternal talon
#

and for a desert plant, that is a little strange

fluid kraken
#

Deserts usually get super cold at night, I don't think temperature would really be an issue

eternal talon
#

well i mean it would be a more consistent thing than most

eternal talon
#

it is hard to tell with my infection level

fluid kraken
#

Probably just fog or clouds, I don't think sandstorms would look like that

eternal talon
#

because if it is the sandstorm, then i think i know exactly what mountain this could potentially be, and it is visible from alpha two

eternal talon
#

just, what you see over the cliff face

analog frigate
#

i have to run it through some filters and depth maps

#

there is nothing in the horizon

#

literally nothing can be seen

eternal talon
#

That's kinda.. odd

analog frigate
#

if you manage to take another picture of the horizon without infection there might be some texture

eternal talon
#

I mean, it makes sense from a gameplay standpoint, but not from a lore one

analog frigate
#

it does from a lore one

#

you can't see far normally

#

and include all the dust in the air constantly

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

btw here are the pictures

eternal talon
#

yeah, damn that's kinda hard to interpret

analog frigate
#

there is zero gradient change in the horizon

eternal talon
#

what does that mean, realistically?

analog frigate
#

or just pixels to take anything from

#

you can't see because there is dust

eternal talon
#

does that give any info at all on where we might be?

analog frigate
#

no

eternal talon
#

elevation, distance, nothing?

analog frigate
#

nope

#

elevation maybe

#

but i'll need some pictures without infection looking down

#

to see down the mountain/hill

harsh saffron
#

When I was walking around the D1 arena it just looked like a big crater/wall at the far back (probably exactly what it is; a big round arena to fight and nothing behind it)

eternal talon
#

could that be where the meteor came from originally?

#

that's VERY interesting

harsh saffron
#

I want to believe there is a lore reason for that kind of design but realistically, it's probably purely to make the fight look cool 😦

eternal talon
#

the kraken is a very intriguing creature lore wise

#

i got a better picture of it this last fight,

#

it's surprisingly thin

#

and seems to be able to illuminate it's entire interior with red light before unleashing a homing attack.

harsh saffron
#

Wish I could do that

eternal talon
#

what, glow like a glow-stick when you are angry?

harsh saffron
#

yeah and homing attacks sound useful

eternal talon
harsh saffron
#

Yup, I also noticed that these black crystals seem to grow rather fast. At some places, crystals seemed to have pushed pieces of metal aside.

finite vine
#

or the metal was built around it

#

it would probably look more warped if the crystal pushed the metal

harsh saffron
#

dont think so, that rock you see below the crystal destroyed the floor below and I don't see how that rock could have dropped down without the crystal pushing it down

finite vine
#

are you sure there is a floor below the rock? the floor could of been built around the rock too

#

any way we are kinda getting into the territory of level design that a level designer would not really think about imho.

fluid kraken
harsh saffron
finite vine
#

ok

#

the crystal and metal are not even touching, so how could the crystal even move the metal if they are not touching?

fluid kraken
#

The crystal could've grown, moved the metal out of the way, and the panels could've dropped down on one side

#

That is why I said they must've been loosely attached, since if they were fully secure then they would've been warped

finite vine
#

the panels are ridged, it does not look like they dropped to the side.

#

also the panels were obviously put into the rock at a 45 degree angle with respect to horizontal, because half of the panel is inserted into the rock and the panel is not bent.

fluid kraken
#

They would've just removed the crystal if that was the case, since that'd save materials and time

finite vine
#

or it’s just a level designer making something look cool. imho it’s not enough evidence to determine that the crystals grow fast.

harsh saffron
#

Yeah could just be that. That's just what I thought the design implied but could also be something completely different ^^

finite vine
#

yea i guess its possible.

knotty harness
#

It was the tiger mask lol

eternal talon
#

not that one

finite vine
#

what other pic is there?

eternal talon
#

@analog frigate

#

the skybox lookin' thing

finite vine
#

can u post the pic? I don't see any images near the discussion of the leak.

eternal talon

also Calle even said that his moon emojis had something to do with it. 🌜

#

moon emoji --> lunar new year

#

I mean just compare the new mask to the leak. they are identical.

And the facts line up too

im gonna make a video of me beating a overload door solo with a flight stick as my keyboard and mouse

analog frigate
analog frigate
#

it's basically kinda this

#

except cropped differently

eternal talon
#

@analog frigate do you have the WHO voice logs? @fierce bloom wanted them

analog frigate
#

as in the alert?

eternal talon
#

just the logs about the surface being dead, i suppose

#

from the CDC n' stuff

analog frigate
#

ye one moment

fierce bloom
analog frigate
#

here is the emergency broadcast

#

apart from this what other logs?

#

like the KDS/SMC analysis of NAM-V as well?

you can send a few its quite interesting

Growing Concern over NAM-V
by Duncan Keith
 
Saturday night at the Manchester Royal Infirmary. Usually, the emergency room sees a steady influx of patients. It’s busy; but no more than they can handle. the Infirmary is well staffed and stocked and has a reputation for dealing with patients quickly and efficiently.
 
But not tonight. Tonight over 250 people crowd the waiting rooms. As one patient is seen, treated, and released, 2 more take their place at the end of the line. There are no beds left, not enough personal protective equipment for the medical staff, and a barely contained sense of panic among the cast-down faces of those waiting in hope that they don’t have “the Stoops”. This is a hospital clinging on, desperately trying to weather the storm. The storm of the NAM-V virus.
 
Since the WHO officially labeled the NAM-V virus as a pandemic, the number of reported cases has spiked. In part that is due to a more concerted testing effort, but it is also a sign of just how quickly this virus is spreading. Unlike previous pandemics (Hook, COVID19 – 21, Respo-Z2), this one debilitates its victims. There is no stay-at-home solution. If you have NAM-V, you need medical support. The long-term effects of the virus are still unknown, but once you start to feel the tightening in your bones and the persistent hallucinations you will need medical supervision, or the end will be swift. Medical intervention is the only thing that can slow the decline. Even if the patient does manage to survive the initial onslaught of the virus, it will remain in their system and can strike again without warning. Once you are isolated with NAM-V, you stay isolated.

#

this is on the wiki ?

analog frigate
#

the last thing sadly not

fierce bloom
analog frigate
#

it's in the corrupted folder within the santonian website terminal

#

but infinite duck has made pages for every log from every rundown on the wiki FingerGuns

#

you can find the corrupted logs easily on the complex archives server

harsh saffron
#

Maybe I should just add the corrupted logs already and just move/rename them if they appear in an eventual extension

#

Wanted to mention a thought I had about sleepers & mutation.

So we know sleepers adapt to changes in their environment; Shadows for example have adapted to the dark to become deadly hunters. Sometimes I wonder if things like the Tank have evolved in direct response to the KSOs/prisoner missions. Things like the bullet proof carapace of the Tank to combat gunfire seem to be in direct response to human actions. Or the patrol of the scout to detect outsiders & call for backup.

This then leads me to think; if NAM-V is truly the cause of the sleepers, and sleepers are on the surface, then how aggressively would they mutate in response to the CDC's actions, or the military at large?

#

If sleepers truly are on the surface, I have no doubt the military could have held off the initial mutations; strikers, shooters, etc. Although tanks are tough too, the military surely could pierce that thick armor plating.

#

My point is: what if there's something, or many things, outside on the surface that are far worse than what we've already seen in Garganta, as NAM-V will have faced far heavier resistance outside, and adapted to face it.

eternal talon
#

we don't know if nam-v causes sleepers.

celest pagoda
#

I know, my point is IF it does, then what I wrote above could be something to think on

abstract ledge
#

While not unreasonable, we don't really have a mechanism for them to evolve, right?

If sleepers take heavy gunfire, they die, which means it's unlikely they will come back with tank armor. Likewise, while it makes sense for "scouts" to exist to patrol the territories sleepers control, it doesn't explicitly explain their biological differences, such as tentacles or blueness.

It seems at least equally likely they just mutate rapidly (even base sleepers have a large variety in size and feature), and some just, almost coincidentally, are better at certain jobs - which they go to fill.

analog frigate
#

they aren't zombies

#

once they die, they die

abstract ledge
#

I am aware of this and very thankful for it

analog frigate
#

the biological differences are due to their hive-like nature

abstract ledge
#

Being in a hive doesn't biologically predispose to differentiation. For a simple example of that, bees

#

So far as I can tell (as a very new reader in lore community) we just don't know either way though

analog frigate
#

bees are different

#

as in roles

abstract ledge
#

In roles, but not physiology

analog frigate
#

that's the thing, sleepers mutate to be better fit for the task

abstract ledge
#

If you believe that, then we haven't actually disagreed yet

analog frigate
#

@abstract ledge this is a good read

eternal talon
#

Could there be any survivors down in garganta?

#

How long has it been since it broke out and the complex was overrun?

#

Isn't schaeffer surviving down there?

#

Have we come across any trace of kovak security forces?

#

In-game, I mean

#

Because we knew they were holding out down there the longest

#

I'm surprised we haven't seen any doors being barracaded with crates and stuff out of all the zones we've been through since r1

#

Blood doors are an oddity. How come every security door in the complex is closed? Are they on timers? Or controlled through electronic systems remotely?

#

Not a single one we have found left open

#

No signs of out of ammo turrets of defensive positions like sandbags, landmines, nothing of the sort

#

What do the sleepers eat other than their hosts to keep themselves alive?

quick grove
eternal talon
quick grove
#

They were probably waken up when the door closed maybe the door made a sound when it closed

#

We truly don't know how blood doors came to be a thing or why the sleepers woke up maybe someone set them off or something we don't know

#

And we probably will never know

analog frigate

#

The audio logs he left for us on A1 and D1

#

Him talking to the mimic

#

Him obviously talking to him self

eternal talon
#

That's Schaeffer not kdf

quick grove
#

Yep thats who im talking about

analog frigate
#

how does this relate

quick grove
#

I actually got no clue

analog frigate
#

he isn't talking to himself

#

he is talking to the mimic

quick grove
analog frigate
#

he does talk to himself

#

i am talking specifically about that log

#

he is talking to the mimic

quick grove
#

Yeah well he is recording him self too so

#

I guess its a 50 50 thing

#

I mean maybe this man found some got a bit more sane when he talked to something else

analog frigate
#

we can't know yet

quick grove
#

True

#

But we should also note that being alone can cause some serious problems to a person in a long term thing

analog frigate
#

yes

quick grove
#

And welp god knows how long schaeffer has been down there just walking endlessly

analog frigate
#

he is probably not the most sane due to that

quick grove
#

Trying to find a way out

analog frigate
#

also all the sleepers and such

quick grove
analog frigate
#

probably close

quick grove
eternal talon
#

Why don't we find deployed sentries, guns, blockaded doors, n' stuff?

quick grove
analog frigate
#

also they probably have but at the deeper places

quick grove
analog frigate
#

not 1.3km

quick grove
#

^

analog frigate
#

i imagine there are a lot of insight defences down like 1.8km

eternal talon
quick grove
#

I mean why would you have anything heavy if you were running

#

The defense wasn't at 1.3km we know its near the egg/crack thing were allen sleepers stormed out to violate everyone

eternal talon
#

How deep was the "wall"

#

The defensive line

#

Or whatever it was called

quick grove
#

I would probably thing 1.9km Or 1.8km something like that

eternal talon
#

Do we have a map/timeline?

analog frigate
#

yes

#

one on the wiki by lilliana and another one by chase that rayalot took over (i think)

eternal talon
#

No, I mean a map of the complex with dates for when the virus got where

analog frigate
#

we don't know how and when the virus moved

#

or the sleepers

eternal talon
#

We know there was a defensive line

analog frigate
#

and only maps of the expeditions, nothing of the entire complex

analog frigate
eternal talon
#

We know miners were being attacked from the day they cracked the meteor

#

How far down were the labs with the teleporters?

analog frigate
#

around 1km

eternal talon
#

Surely that stuff wouldn't be built too far from the meteor

#

They'd have to haul stuff waay far up to study it

analog frigate
#

iirc around 850 and the other at like 1100

analog frigate
eternal talon
#

And given how big some of these machines are, they were probably under construction from before the sleepers got to the defensive line or when it was built

analog frigate
#

the facility was supposedly all finished before the sleepers came

eternal talon
#

Well that doesn't make sense AT ALL

#

How did they get the wmp to even build the machines

#

How did they do anything at all?

#

They wouldn't have access or known about the crystals, the teleportation tech, the artifacts... nothing

#

It's literally impossible

#

That's like buying a car before you buy the lotto ticket

analog frigate
#

the finished the facility was finished, then they dug to the meteorite

dawn sparrow
#

Idk they are just cool that way Ig

analog frigate
#

finished as in 1.5km down

eternal talon
#

Well those teleporters could not have been finished. Or even started

analog frigate
#

true but they could just be built after

#

you dig a hole in the side of a room

#

wire it

#

and done

#

a new room

eternal talon
#

Yes

#

My point being

analog frigate
#

that's the plus of making things underground

eternal talon
#

That's big machines

#

Really big

#

Takes time to build them

#

Dig new rooms

#

All that

analog frigate
#

so?

#

they had like 4 years or something similar to do that

eternal talon
#

So they were fighting sleepers for 4 years?

analog frigate
#

i am not sure

#

but for a while

eternal talon
#

Well they had to

#

That's what makes no SENSE

#

The stuff was in the rock

#

With the sleepers

#

You just don't get the stuff without the sleepers also being out

quick grove
#

They probably had the machine already built

analog frigate
#

it's from when sleepers originally appeared till 2057/8/9

eternal talon
analog frigate
eternal talon
#

It requires the wmp

analog frigate
#

they had multiple years to do it

quick grove
eternal talon
quick grove
#

I would assume that the sleepers didn't attack immediately when they cracked open

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

we can't really know the time frame

eternal talon
quick grove
#

We don't know when the mwp was made

eternal talon
analog frigate
eternal talon
#

Humans didn't make it

analog frigate
#

since stokes has no idea what it is

#

or basically anyone

#

and they call them artefacts

quick grove
#

A thing that size was most likely built before they got attacked by sleepers

eternal talon
#

Well the artifacts are certainly more Allen tech than the wmp is

analog frigate
#

they had enough time

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

such a thing like the teleport rooms could be dug out and furnished in around a year

finite vine
quick grove
analog frigate
#

no

#

we know basically nothing about insight

quick grove
#

Because i know project insight was a thing to do with mwp

eternal talon
#

Sleepers already out and about

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

only thing that we know about insight is that they are responsible for the artefacts, are highly confidential and have a lot of control over everything

eternal talon
#

Wdym responsible for the artifacts

quick grove
#

I mean if they built multiple of those machine's congrats to them for building something that big so quick

analog frigate
#

they are the ones that handle them

#

it's not quick

#

within a year they can be finished

finite vine
analog frigate
#

yes

#

sorry i worded it incorrectly

eternal talon
quick grove
#

The big 4 death ray looing machine

analog frigate
#

there are a lot of unknowns

analog frigate
#

we don't know the properties of the bedrock there, we don't know the tools they used

analog frigate
#

yeah but what kind

eternal talon
#

Likely diamond

#

What else?

analog frigate
#

what material, size, shape

#

many other things

eternal talon
#

Probably pretty duckin big

#

Thinking like the drill dozer from drg

analog frigate
#

diamond is strong but not practical for such a thing

finite vine
analog frigate
#

yeah

#

4,5,6

#

something around that

#

iirc the last log we have is 2058 or something

quick grove
#

Someone talked about a special drill head i think don't remember who by

eternal talon
quick grove
#

Someone said they need a new drill head thats better than the ones they have i don't remember something like that

analog frigate
#

gianna

eternal talon
#

Gianna?

#

Who dat

analog frigate
#

she asked for them to check if Nyxos had anything stronger since their drill heads were constantly breaking

analog frigate
quick grove
#

Yes there we go

eternal talon
#

That the person who wrote the logs about digging and that one guy's suicide?

#

I mean that's also another thing

analog frigate
#

you can just check chase's database

#

he has personnel listed

eternal talon
#

Probably needs to be AT LEAST a man sized drill to fully woodchipper somebody

analog frigate
eternal talon
analog frigate
#

chase is the guy that made the pinned timeline

eternal talon
#

What was the log?

#

With the drill that woodchipper'd a guy

analog frigate
#

new equipment needed

#

oh

#

that's incident report

eternal talon
#

Did it say anything about the drill we could use to scale it?

analog frigate
#

no

#

just how jordy killed himself

dim scroll
#

Oops

#

wrong channel for memes

#

😳

eternal talon
#

Rip jordy

dim scroll
eternal talon
#

Was he afraid of being turned?

analog frigate
#

he took the better way out

@eternal talon

#

Man just went Adios

eternal talon
#

Well I mean, it was big enough for him to walk into

#

I'd say that's pretty bloody big

quick grove
analog frigate
#

also again lostty, go and read all the logs or at least most

eternal talon
#

Memory problems

analog frigate
#

definitely not

analog frigate
#

i've forgotten things while i say them too many times to admit

eternal talon
#

Early onset dimentia?

analog frigate
#

sadly seems like it

#

but anyway

#

i suggest you read them

eternal talon
#

Aren't not all of them on the wiki?

analog frigate
#

all of them are there

#

duck made pages for every rundown's logs

eternal talon
#

Like those somebody mentioned yesterday that were from the website

analog frigate
#

they are on the wiki

#

he's also working on adding the santonian website terminal corrupted folder logs to the wiki

harsh saffron
#

added them earlier, now we should have every log on the wiki
I'm just gonna move them if we find them in case we get an extension

sly sinew
#

can someone give me a summary of what exactly is Red Alpha/desert and how are we getting teleported to it

it is assumed the meteor is a hunk of red alpha that was yeeted through space towards earth. as to why, be it a geological event or an intentional act by an intelligent alien species, is yet to be known.

sly sinew
#

Ah ty I'm bad at piecing together logs

eternal talon
#

take everything relating to red alpha with a grain of salt though

#

we still have very little information to work with regarding it.

#

did he stab a shooter?

#

i hear a blood door

analog frigate
#

he said "we're all infected now"

#

and he is right

eternal talon
#

dauda worked for drefus industries.. what is that?

analog frigate
#

everyone has NAM-V

analog frigate
eternal talon
#

oh dear, i hear tons of sleepers at the end of that log

#

what are they eating?

#

if dauda just got in a hsu

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

HSUs

eternal talon
#

what about hsus

analog frigate
#

they slow the speed of NAM-V infecting the person, possibly reversing it

eternal talon
#

what were the sleepers attacking?

analog frigate
#

not known

maiden crystal
#

oh my god

#

my dads down there

eternal talon
#

drefus industries are a super conglomerate?

eternal talon
maiden crystal
#

you know by the door

eternal talon
#

the omega door, in d1?

maiden crystal
#

in the dark ominous hallway filled with metal

#

by the sleepy monsters

#

but yes drefus make everything, even the popcorn

eternal talon
#

log just said that

maiden crystal
#

well they don't make it, they own the companies that make everything

eternal talon

eternal talon
#

the innards of the meteor are emitting... heat?

analog frigate

exists on a lot of logs

well i get that, that one just didn't look like one

i dunno

schaeffer log

eternal talon
#

yeah, what do

analog frigate
#

one of C expeditions, r5

eternal talon
#

ah

#

what was it for

analog frigate
#

i don't remember currently

#

you can check the r5 log wiki seeing as you appear to be already on it

eternal talon
#

i'm just scrolling down the log page

analog frigate
#

ah don't do that

eternal talon
#

why?

analog frigate
#

duck made pages with logs of each rundown

finite vine
eternal talon
#

i'm literally half-way through

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

gave you an audio log

finite vine
#

it only had an audio log on it

analog frigate
#

by schaeffer

finite vine
#

that was the only purpose

analog frigate
#

yes

eternal talon
#

what the.. long clear tubes? is that inside the meteor?

finite vine
#

within the meteor/ the egg.

eternal talon
#

allen tunnels?

#

or human tunnels

finite vine
#

probably alien

eternal talon
#

"clear tubes" doesn't sound like a natural formation

finite vine
#

sleeper infestation

analog frigate
#

they are described as being similar to lava tubes/channels

analog frigate
#

in another log

eternal talon
#

it literally says "THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE LAVA TUBES"

analog frigate
#

ah

eternal talon
#

the very next sentince

analog frigate
#

yeah

#

similar

#

but not

#

since the composition is too dense

#

but structure is similar

eternal talon
#

also lava tubes are not clear

#

your thinking of obsidian,

#

which is a solid rock

analog frigate
#

that's not what clear exactly means

eternal talon
#

lava doesn't make glass

analog frigate
#

it does

finite vine
#

it’s still hard to tell if the log that Schaffer wrote on october, 2053 was describing the inside of the meteor, or just right outside of the meteor. you know the log saying that the mole broke through some kind of barrier?

analog frigate
#

obsidian is glass

eternal talon
#

obsidian is not see-through or clear at all

analog frigate
#

glass isn't necessarily see-through or clear

eternal talon
#

yet these pipes are.

analog frigate
#

it's the physical internal structure that characterises it

eternal talon
#

and they are described as 'pipes'

analog frigate
#

don't take things too literally

#

they are described as some tunnels

eternal talon
#

word is gospel spoken from god

#

what is nadir

finite vine
#

“clear” means that there is open space/ air within the egg

analog frigate
#

clear as in they are not filled with anything

finite vine
#

yea

#

there are also talk of chambers deeper inside the egg. these chambers were where the hammerstein collection and the matter wave projector were found.

eternal talon
finite vine
eternal talon
#

wtf killed the crew then?

finite vine
#

we don’t know.

#

no idea actually. maybe an earthquake?

eternal talon
#

now what in the fuck is this

#

this is way before we let the fliers through

#

so what's this?

analog frigate
#

that's one of the mentioned but unknown sleepers

#

the shadow variant

eternal talon
#

a shadow, yeah. clearly

#

but no shadows can teleport

#

and we haven't seen a shadow flier

analog frigate
#

dirty work for KDS and SMC

#

clint replied to burn them

finite vine
#

he didn’t kill them, he only burned the bodies

analog frigate
#

we can assume he somehow "disposed" of them before burning them

finite vine
eternal talon
#

allen chambers and corridors?

analog frigate
#

it's a part of the gustavo situation

#

gustavo was someone high ranking in the yucatan peninsula

finite vine
#

gustavo literally said he does not know what killed them.

#

true

analog frigate
#

hm

eternal talon
#

also how tf did they get down to the inner to get samples without being torn apart by the precursors of the sleepers?

#

musta not been that many then

eternal talon
finite vine
eternal talon
#

not sleeper. ALLEN

#

sleeper stuff would probably be organic in nature

finite vine
#

true. alien would be more organized/ constructed

finite vine
eternal talon
#

that's a neat name, precursors.

#

the origin of the sleeper infection on earth

finite vine
# analog frigate hm

I remember reading your theory on why the science team with Bishop lost contact with garganta knfe they jumped to planet alpha. I think you said that they wanted to try to kill gustavo, but I honestly don’t think it goes that far.

analog frigate
#

wasn't mine

finite vine
#

I think it was ur theory. cant remember thou

analog frigate
#

punkthulhu's

finite vine
#

oh ok

eternal talon
#

ah, i see it now

finite vine
#

if only we had a time stamp for that log

eternal talon
#

well we can assume it was sometime around whenever they were sending expeditions into the inner

finite vine

yeah .mp3 is just part of the name as well as the format ^^

eternal talon
#

we got any leads on this thing?

#

ALLENS CONFIRMEDED

analog frigate
#

why does stokes saying "whoever" mean that aliens made the meteor somehow

eternal talon
#

that the meteor was MADE

analog frigate
#

that's not definitive

eternal talon
#

but-but-but

analog frigate
#

no

#

general wording doesn't prove that

#

also stokes can't know

#

she has expressed in other logs that she is completely in the dark about the whole thing

eternal talon
#

if you had to give someone a rundown, on the jidst of the lore with theory, what would you say? allen theory is by far and away the most likely so far

#

i get what you mean entirely, but at the same time i wanna keep digging and living my dream

#

allens man. it's always allens.

analog frigate
#

i understand why you think the alien theory is what it is

#

it's just that it's taken too far out

#

i agree, something had to make the artefacts

eternal talon
#

the inner isn't sleeper made

analog frigate
#

but everything else is kinda based loosely on that

eternal talon
#

if it's composition is being compared to stone

analog frigate
#

i'm not talking about that

#

the meteorite is organic

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

organic in nature

#

it's naturally formed

#

i think i worded it wrong

eternal talon
#

very very so

#

organic means biological

analog frigate
#

yeah i realised

eternal talon
#

you mean geological (I HOPE)

analog frigate
#

no

#

natural

eternal talon
#

yes, geological

#

bloody rocks

#

dirt

#

gravel

#

stone

analog frigate
#

yes

#

and cretasium

eternal talon
#

SO GEOLOGICAL

#

ahh, i think.. this can be solved with a simple poll

#

Poll time:
do you believe the ancient precursor allen theory is LIKELY to be true.
agree:🟢

disagree:🔴

neither agree nor disagree :🟠

analog frigate
#

i don't think a poll proves it

#

proof and facts do

eternal talon
#

no, it wouldn't prove it

analog frigate
#

this is just opinion

eternal talon
#

but it's consensus from multiple people's research and opinion, yes.

#

not just my own

analog frigate
#

well i don't disagree nor agree

eternal talon
#

there you go

harsh saffron

eternal talon

i'm saying precursor of the infected on EARTH, not precursors of humans

sly sinew
#

the warden is an artificial intelligence? I just read the doc and I never knew that I always thought the warden was a mysterious figurehead

eternal talon
#

not really anything can stop him either though, more than 99% of humans on the surface are dead.

sly sinew
#

Dang that's wild skynet is in charge of the rest of the human race, also there's only four prisoners?

eternal talon
#

no. afik, there are thousands

#

we are just the wardens' most competent and 'elite' team

sly sinew
#

Ah

eternal talon
#

in c3, we are literally sent to be a decoy team for another team doing an expedition

harsh saffron
#

yeah, we are not alone ^^

eternal talon
#

woah, sauce for pic?

#

what rundown?

harsh saffron
#

thats KDS Deep in R5E1 last room

eternal talon
#

i'll have to watch a vid

#

thanks

eternal talon
#

so what's the deal with d4 not being canon?

analog frigate
#

sorta funky

#

doc said that we shouldn't look too deep into it since it's a concept only

#

it was deleted and we thought he went a bit too far and over an NDA

#

but then he said that he just wanted to leave the challenge of figuring it out for us and to not be pinged constantly

#

so there is a bit of confusion on if it's canon or not

eternal talon
#

well i mean the data cubes were tampered with, so that's a start, is it not?

#

the data cubes are of allen origin, right?

#

or are they human made to work with the wmp

analog frigate
#

but it introduces parallel dimensions and other things that literally break every single aspect of our current lore

#

and make everything possible and likely

eternal talon
#

when did it introduce parallel dimentions?

#

i've played it before

#

all it does is teleport you around a bit

analog frigate
#

how we teleport to another part of what seems garganta

eternal talon
#

probably same way the flyers do

analog frigate
#

but sleepers and items re-spawn without any rhyme nor reason

#

i don't remember exactly what causes it to be an issue

#

but i remember that it completely breaks things and figuring it out is illogical

eternal talon
#

normal data cubes teleport us to red alpha when picking them up

#

it only makes sense ones tampered by humans would do some funky shit

#

i think it's just locally teleporting us

analog frigate
#

yeah but this is more than funky

analog frigate
eternal talon
#

again how

analog frigate
#

there is no how

eternal talon
#

i don't remember any timey wimey stuff

#

and lockers didn't respawn last time i ran d4

analog frigate
#

there isn't time travel

#

someone else can clarify why exactly it breaks our established logic

#

all i remember from that conversation a while ago, is that it just doesn't make any sense and if it is canon, then gtfo lore is broken

eternal talon
#

what about it is wierd? i do not at all remember what you are going on about

#

and if it's like your describing, i certainly would have remembered

#

how would gtfo lore be broken

tulip badger
#

Hey, so I've heard a few people tell me that the Complex in inside the Chicxulub crater, is this actually true or are my friends just pulling my leg?

analog frigate
#

it in fact is

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

more precisely, a sinkhole within the yucatan peninsula.

#

in the city of merida

tulip badger
#

Alrighty, so it is at or near the crater that wiped out the dinosaurs?

analog frigate
#

it is in it

tulip badger
#

Oooooh nice

eternal talon
#

it is. the meteor is under gargantua

analog frigate
#

they even dug into the meteorite that killed the dinosaurs

eternal talon
#

^sleepers came from here

tulip badger
#

Also, I'm interested in getting into the lore of the game, is there anywhere specific I should start?

eternal talon
#

pins

analog frigate
#

i suggest looking at the first pin

#

it's a summary/faq of the currently lore

eternal talon
#

doesn't include everything though. just confirmed stuff

analog frigate
#

yes

tulip badger
#

~~Can't wait for rundown 23 to have infected Dinosaurs EverythingsFine ~~

analog frigate
#

only mentions theories

#

but generally it's an introduction

eternal talon
tulip badger
#

Oh, I was joking

eternal talon
#

i was not.

tulip badger
#

Though I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of dinosaur-like creatures, hulking things with heaps of teeth.

#

Also technically speaking, isn't the infection considered Alien?

eternal talon
#

the infection is also, allen.

analog frigate
#

depends how you look at it

eternal talon
#

yes.

analog frigate
#

it has been on earth longer than humans

#

compared to it, we are aliens

#

it's about how you view it

eternal talon
analog frigate
#

it is in merida

eternal talon
#

21 08 57 n 89 29 32 w

analog frigate
#

because they say it's made in the sinkhole in merida

eternal talon
#

is that the region or something?

analog frigate
#

yes

#

yucatan state

eternal talon
#

it's like literally right outside the town of lxil

analog frigate
#

it's right next to merida

eternal talon
#

ah, yes. i see it on google maps now

#

merida is a giant city to the southwest

tulip badger
eternal talon
#

no

#

it came from the interplanetary possibly interdimensional location known to the community as "red alpha"

#

not to be confused with the mars mission. also called red alpha.

analog frigate
#

the rocket sent was called that

#

but it's unimportant to lore so confusion is mostly avoided

Does anyone remember the log that had either a receiver or sender that was unknown but can be identified via their personnel ID?

I think there are a few of those

it is time travel my dude

back

back to the past

eternal talon

@analog frigate get the hair spray, we need more flames

real pewter
#

the warden do knows about the "past"

eternal talon
#

anyone can know about the past.

#

because it's the past.

real pewter
#

why so specific tho

#

schaeffer in A1 said specifically that one word

eternal talon
#

NO

real pewter
#

like

#

why would he said that

#

when he can say: "The warden Brainwash you"

eternal talon
#

because the hsus make you forget.

real pewter
#

but do you know how long schaeffer has been out of the hsu?

eternal talon
#

because he's fucking insane

sacred moon
#

you, as the player, don't know about the past.
The Warden does.

That's how I always interpreted that audio log at that door in A1

real pewter
#

why "the past"

#

and not some other word

eternal talon
celest pagoda
analog frigate
#

"the past" is used to talk about the past of the KSOs/prisoners

#

since they have been basically brainwashed, their memories removed, only the warden knows what happened before

that's what i said

i find it so wierd that the lore channel is basically it's own group of people

#

i don't really ever see anybody from the rest of the discord hop by except for one or two people every now and then asking basic questions

it's chaos

#

so i just don't go there

#

and that reminds me, i haven't finished the transcript of prisoner's audio logs

eternal talon
#

that dauda one was interesting

#

i just wanna know what the sleepers were attacking

#

like if he was trapped with others and entered an hsu to escape, and watched the others get torn apart while going into cryo

harsh saffron
#

I would imagine since we dont hear other ppl, that they just try to break down the door (its literally the same sound thats playing on blood doors) and then just them entering the room and trying to find ppl to kill

eternal talon
#

well i mean it was the 'attacking' sounds

harsh saffron
#

yeah I mean while he was still recording its the blood door sound

#

after that is normal attacking sounds true

eternal talon
#

blood door is just sfx of them beating on a door

eternal talon

<@&408548765599793173>

beat you to it, @quick grove

Can the helmets/masks be removed, just wondering or are they stuck onto the prisoners? Like I know it would be unwise to take them off in the unhealthy environment.

as far as we know they can be removed

but the prisoners physically cannot do it themselves unless commanded

WHAT DOES IT MEAn

WHATS IT MADE OF WHAT DOES IT DO WHY DO THEY DIE?

dim scroll
#

The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals. The cerebral cortex mostly consists of the six-layered neocortex, with just 10% consisting of allocortex. It is separated into two cortices, by the longitudinal fissure that divides the cerebrum in...

analog frigate

like a kind of chip directly attached to the neural system

that's the cerebral cortex funky

not what neural cortex means

eternal talon

Though i expect it to be the part where the chip is placed

😳

#

Or for the chip to act like the cerebral cortex

analog frigate
#

i expect it to be on the part where the spine connects to the brain

it's like a BCI
