it's not a gun, i'm just trying to explain it in a way that makes sense
like >
instead of 0
was going to read through it but 450 messages is quite a bit lol
the drop shaft with all of the material twisted and pointing upward
i mean that's where my mind goes
kinda, but nothing new if you are already familiar with the lore.
i have been introduced to this rabbit hole :3
Schaeffer in-lore
hahahahahaha
That seems to be the source of these tunnels, yeah.
Energy blasts that drilled to the surface.
Doesn't seem to be a traditional explosion.
equipment must've been constructed on top to figure out what happened, then sleepers were discovered
that'd make sense as to why there's fog equipment down there
bc there doesn't seem to be any reason for it in the context of normal mining operations (idk im not a miner)
Time travelling ion cannon thrusters caused the explosion.
Robert Losier is the one to blame.
????
whomst?
It's a meme, relax.
oh hi medic
Going back to the whole is cretesium man intelligent lifeform made or naturally acurring while it is possible that cretesium could maybe occur naturally it is much more likely to be artificially made as its easier to create the conditions needed to form an alloy in a lab than in nature, additionally if they had the technology to harvest the center of a star(a possible explanation of cretesium occuring naturally) it would probably be easier and faster to simply make a new core of a star or similar heat
Hi
i found a physical description of the allens
Also if this was naturally occurring cretesium it probably wouldn't be uniform and harder to work with
they are Goro from mortal combat
Also is the current theory that the stuff on the back of flyers is cretesium or more tumor scab things?
no clue
I wish I took a screenshot of the live one I found stuck in the floor in D4
they look almost my calloused tumors, or dried solidified blood
like a very rough scab
Yeah that's kinda what they look like to me too
they appear to be crystals
the same teleportation ones
since they appear the same and also seem the source of their ability to teleport short distances
interesting. so if the allens also have these large lumps of callused tissue, it would confirm that theory?
Actually, this debate might get cleared up tomorrow
how so?
we may encounter the mimic tommorrow, not neccessarily the allens
unless the mimic is an allen, but the descriptions don't match perfectly
I really don't get why you keep calling them 'allens' instead of 'aliens'
we don't have a name for them
Okay?
and we have like 4 species of alien now
Related logs and we have confirmed atleast one creature that looks like the flyers in it, that will give us another look at the back things
wtf did miss. aliens?
so allen being the ancient aliens and aliens being the other aliens helps us by not confusing the two
we've known about the allens for ages, and we've seen the aliens in r6, the floaties and kraken
And some third alien in the 6.5 trailer
this is why clarification is important. its the same red alpha destination alpha thing again, except this one is a whole lot simpler and doesn't need to change until we get an official name
i've been calling them allens for months
You could just call them 'Infectors', given the assumption is that NAM-V hitched a ride on the meteor, which seems(?) to have originated from their world
well they don't infect, they were the infectED trying to flee their world
regardless, you can't get much simpler than allen
I'd argue "allen" is more confusing, especially when people new to the lore get involved.
Question, do we spell it allen or alIen
same case for red alpha
Red Alpha isn't a case of confusing naming, it's a case of people using the wrong name for something.
ALLEN is the ancient aliens ALIEN with an I is all the other infected lifeforms on destination
Aight
it's not wrong, we literally don't have an official name for either

Now what do we do if an important character named Allen shows up
the confusion was the problem
Please reread what I just said.
we put it in bold
Aight
The you know, thoose guys
and if we get another, we put it in italics
Woe to the world if you were to ever actually get directly involved in the sciences, Frosty.

allen, allen, and allen
No one would ever be able to figure out what the hell anything is called.
oh c'mon, it's not that bad
Yeah, it really is.
ya
It's there their and they're all over again
It throws me off really hard a lot.
literally nobody has brought it up as a problem for the multiple months i've been doing it
'Cause I see it and immediately want to think it's an inside joke/meme of the channel.
Probably because they were being polite.
Or didn't know better
Or some combination of the two
i dabbled in calling them precursors since they came before, but that didn't catch on
Because "Precursors" is generally reserved for the precursors of a civilization
some halo shit
And implies that they made us if there's no explanation given
Which.. clearly is not the case
Not without potentially making the Faithers angry, at least. (But then they get angry at everything, so)
i can't officially name them, i don't know what you want from me
we don't have very much info at all on them to work with
architects? MAYBE
i dunno
Since they were infected, why not Patient Zero for the collective group of them, assuming there were multiple?
In this case Patient Zero would apply to the species, rather than an individual
Patient Zero is not exclusive to humans
^
Patient Zero is a designator specifically for the first documented patient in a disease epidemic
Not necessarily human
what do you think people are going to think if they hear about a patient zero?
that's even worse than allen
It's far easier to explain than "allen" VS "alien"
allen is a NAME, are you insulting every allen out there?
that they look similar is the point
it's a NAME to call these ALIENS that we don't have an official name for
i mean geez
..I legitimately wonder what the hell goes on in your mind sometimes, Frosty.
And then I decide I'd rather not know.
whats wrong with calling them aliens again?
chaos, winter, suppressed memories, and tea.
ah, just like everything that has been going on in this chat
we have 3, now 4 species of aliens with 6.5
you guys can be so quirky sometimes
Preaching to the choir.

Since "Patients" apparently can only be human according to Frosty's weird-ass logic
I put forward the suggestion of calling them Subject Zero
nonononono don't go trying to spin this
you said what most people would think
You literally just fucking said that Patient Zero implies they're human
No, it does not
Patient Zero works with anything
That's what I said
The only problem I have with the term alien is that the sleepers aren't technically aliens to earth, they have more natural history than humans.
Aye
They have done it with monkeys, bugs, etc
Floaters, Kraken, etc. I'll concede to.
Sleepers are, if anything, heavily mutated humans.
Patient zero can be any species but can imply human depending on context
I can imagine a home world full of krakens and flyers
This is a definition from before aliens existed
no, the sleepers aren't
i'm refering to floaters, kraken, the new things, and the ancient allens
yes, but it's WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD THINK
it is the common definition, TODAY
Since you're being a twit about it
you are
Language is flexible. Allens are probably not in the same class as animals, so it could go either way.
also temper, temper
The term has been expanded into general usage to refer to an individual identified as the first carrier of a communicable disease in a population (the primary case), or the first incident in the onset of a catastrophic trend.
It depends alot of context
Specifies INDIVIDUAL
In-fact, there would probably be two patient zeroes.
The first allen infected, and the first human infected.
Both are completely legitimate uses of the term.
it's edeon arguing we shouldn't call the aliens we have no name for allens
Its about the name "Allen" being used for aliens
I also have a problem with "ancient alien" theory because we don't have evidence for the claim, and that's including data blocks and the MWP.
Not how epidemiology works.
you even used the term allen
???
Does Allen have some meaning that I don't know or have you chosen it "arbitrarily"?
Then it depends on if your talking about the first being EVER infected, the source of the infection on earth, OR the first human infected. Yes context matters
It's arbitrary.
They could all be called patient 0
WDYM
Patient (or Subject) Zero is the originator, which would be the aliens in this case. Patient One would be the first human infected.
It was chosen as an arbitrary meme months ago.
Okay, it seems like a meme
Also because people don't like disagreeing with Frosty for this very reason
Lets fucking call them extraterrestrials
there are 4 kinds of them
I dont give a fuck
we are taking about making a term to specifiy ONE
"Allen" is a shit term for that
rude
Not really, it's context dependent. Patient zero will depend on what perspective you're taking when analyzing a disease. Are you looking at the disease's general history, or are you only looking at the human population that it's affecting?
For our purposes, 9/10 times general history is going to be the focus, I'd wager
Lets just make Aliens the placeholder name for right now until more stuff comes out
wdym no evidence? the log clearly states they aren't human in origin
How about we call them whatever the hell we want and assume we are all smart enough to pick up on context?
and that's ignoring everything else
YES
Bet, I'm going to call them Ted
So much for the lore channel being fucking organized, I guess.
Ted lore is important
I feel like this isn't often true IRL? I think most epidemiologists are considering when viruses make the jump to humans specifically, which makes sense since they'll typically be trying to inform policy for us. This would probably be true in-universe as well, as the people working at Garganta are going to be chiefly concerned with how NAM-V is spreading among workers.
Teds came from outer space just to give us all mega aids
The next entity is going to be called Alen with only one l. In order to differentiate it from the aliens and the Allens that we know about already
I'm not going down this road again, Rayalot. I'm not talking IRL, that's why I said explicitly "for our purposes".
I dunno why this would be a hill to die on. It has two possible meanings depending on context, that seems very simple and not worth arguing about.
And yet you're deciding to argue it. As I said, I'm not going down that road again.
@subtle verge
Also, you whipped out "from an epidemiological perspective," so that's your own sword you're falling on.
i normally don't agree with rayalot alot, but 100%.
here is data blocks too
half the page is in highlighter
i'm pulling more gimme a min
gonna pull 3 dozen logs
What does this have to do with what we were on about?
apparently punk thinks allens aren't confirmed
This is way too restrictive. I'd consider Allen to be a specific term and Alien to be a more general term, I don't think "alien" should mean anything that specific, that'd just be confusing.
Frosty, "confirmation" for you seems to mean "anything even slightly hinting towards xyz"
what creatures from destination have we seen that look like this?
Your mindset seems almost crackpot conspiracy theorist in how it operates
Where exactly does this say it's not of human origin? Lack of evidence for one claim is not a reason to claim evidence for another.
It's vague at best.
That some dude saw the shape of something in the darkness
agree
You know what people have trouble discerning shapes and colors in?
Fucking darkness
And it's extremely fucking dark in Garganta
the fact they found it in a rock that has been sealed shut for longer than humans have existed as a species?
You know what's also a thing?
Hallucinations caused by extended residence in the underground.
Humans are not meant to be crammed in tunnels for years upon years
edeon, can you just stop?
we know this log isn't just hallucinations. we've heard descriptions of similar creatures before from schaeffer
Tbf, Chekhov's gun. It's probably referring to something of interest.
That said, I don't think this proves Lostty's proposition.
I'm not saying I have an answer or a theory of my own, but to claim ancient alien with such vague evidence is intellectually dishonest.
Bit of a jump to say what is probably some kind of sleeper has been there for years and years, and also that wouldn't make them terrestrial either if they are only here because of the fossil.
we aren't getting this from some loonie in a psych ward, this is lore deliberately given to us by the developers
Okay? That distinction doesn't change the fact that some tunnel digger and batshit madman's testimonies are unreliable at best
that's not how storytelling works, in any context
this is a STORY
Someone hasn't read many good books then, I see.
nobody would just write something for it to never come up later
that's bad writing
Do you not understand what misdirection is?
arguing to you is like licking sandpaper
Usually you're gaining something from misdirection, not just lying to the reader for no reason.
What is the proposition being argued, anyway?
That the fossil is alien? That NAM-V is alien?
well yes
Frosty's argument is "so-and-so saw aliens, so there's aliens"
Because apparently a story isn't allowed to mislead people
Ever
with as little information as we've been given? no
we are dripfed info
that's how gtfo has always told it's lore
Well, sleepers exist in universe, so I'm not understanding how this influences the general proposition.
Sleepers exist, sure, and we know the parasite doesn't originate from Earth.
But some tunnel digger that's been down there for god knows how long saying he saw and heard some monstrous creature in the tunnels doesn't automatically mean aliens
it's not vague though, they found it where no human has ever been able to access before, they didn't put the materials there themselves, and it's far more advanced than anything humanity has access to
sleepers can't teleport
atleast the sleepers we've seen on earth
the ones on destination, the floaties, can
So it sounds like you agree? Sleepers are alien, by proxy of what creates them being alien.
but floaties aren't humanoid
whats going on now?
talking about ancient aliens existing and i'm desperately trying to prove the obvious
ah
Obvious and yet you're the only person seeing it.
the usual
Sure.
ray? am i the only one that sees the evidence?
Even if we agree there was a sleeper there, I'm not sure that teleportation is the obvious top pick.
for a sleeper no, it's a feature we haven't seen before
What feature?
none of the human sleepers we have seen have had this ability, only the ones unique to destination
teleportation
You don't understand
You're alleging teleportation
but the log doesn't necessarily demonstrate that in the text.
AFAIR the tunnel digger never said anything about the thing teleporting
Only that it was gone when he looked back, or some such
bruh
one sentince
word for word
I remember this log differently.
Log E105-009
Date: January 16th 2053
Patient: Employee E105 (Edgar Soweta)
Att. Phys: Dr. August Teale B023
//HearSay auto-transcript begins//
TEALE
Describe to me what you saw.
E105
You mean what was there.
TEALE
Is there a difference?
E105
You make it sound like I hallucinated the whole thing.
TEALE
I didn’t mean to--
E105
I’m not a nutcase T...
here is the link
i've reread this log alot today
almost every single thing i've said in the past 20 minutes are copy-pastes from logs
Still not substantial evidence. Anecdotally: if you thought something materialized in front of you, you would think it's either a ghost or from another dimension as well.
That might be misdirection, though.
I think "there was a sleeper" is much easier to just assume than "it teleported," although the wording is definitely strong.
materialised in the dark doesn't necessarily mean appeared out of thin air. It likely means "became visible"
You ever watch people walk out of a patch of pitch black?
yes but SOUND
he heard it teleport
Sure, I'll grant it then.
For all he knows it could've been clinging to the ceiling
thank you my man
It seems likely there was a humanoid sleeper, and it teleported.
it wasn't
he says he saw it standing
before
the sound is it leaving
it's a dead end tunnel
with the exit brighly lit
for 25 meters
That's incorrect, it ends 25 meters before the end of the tunnel.
"The light ends about 25 meters from where the end of the tunnel."
well yeah. the exit/entrance to that dead end tunnel is brightly lit
for 25 meters
Because of that remaining darkness, he turned his headlamp on, but can't much further because of the dust etc.
So dust, darkness, remind me how people's eyes work again?
With a descriptor like that, it more sounds to me like the sound you'd hear when you're getting tongue lashed.
then he sees it, and he runs
he starts yelling and werner, a different person, shines a flashlight down the tunnel
the tunnel is empty
Would you at least agree that the intention of the log is to present a scenario where it seems like a sleeper teleports in a similar way to how flyers teleport?
I think it's possible, but to state it as fact is asinine.
Well, to be super clear, I'm asking about intention.
So, if it's misdirection, it's still intended to present that way.
I think the intent was to emulate how someone is prone to exaggeration and suppositions when figuratively smacked in the face with an extremely traumatic event.
also here is the exact word teleportation, and the log saying it would have had to have walked past two people, not one
The human brain has a nasty tendency to jam puzzle pieces where they don't belong when things don't make sense.
Why do you think this is what the log intends to convey?
The fact he wasn't able to see it clearly, didn't know what the sound was and yet makes an assumption despite not seeing the source.
From the writer's perspective, what is this log about?
it's two people
we both know why he's not answering you, lol
Frosty, would you shut up?
you started this war, plunged skyrim into chaos
i'm not about to start a fight over a petty arguements
The fuck do you call pushing people's buttons then? Entertainment?
oh i'm sorry, is that not what you have been doing to me for 10 minutes?
Get your head out of your ass. Maybe you'll be able to see clearer.
i'm not going to sit here and fight with you like toddlers
Go on, then
Anyway, I'mma go to the store. Anyone need anything while I'm out? Melatonin? Pack of smokes? 6-pack? A cup of Santonian Coffee from Santoniabucks?
tea, as strong as you can find it.
Popcorn please
Whiskey
Noted. Expect a care package to your indicated Project Insight P.O. teleportation pads in approximately 45 minutes.
This just feels like a weird way to read the log to me. It doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose if the worker's account of events isn't at least partly accurate, and it's hard to imagine what new information might reframe this log to be important as a hallucination or imagination gone wild.
indeed. everything we have points to him actually seeing something
Alright then.
And for the record, my messages don't show up as "Typing..." because of a plugin I have.
cute
this log has a typo, also damn this redacted. would save me sooo much trouble
you literally couldn't get closer to confirming aliens right-out
literally milimeters
@dull crest this log says "were been constructed" typo?
this good for you, @subtle verge?
hi duck
Oh, I noticed in EBDT-WDX-5RA it says Renumeration instead of Remuneration when reading it
In case that hadn't been spotted
do you agree than ancient allens are all but confirmed in plain-text?
i feel like i'm going crazy
everyone was on the same page but now suddenly not
I have been reading everything here so I would rather not get involved ^^
The name allen is crucial
if not ancient allens, we might as well go back to the lore we had in 2019
The shit slinging isn't crucial. Also fuck this red light it lasts way too long.
I swear it's on a 5 minute timer.
hey, i didn't start that
punk don't text and drive 
skill issue
Ok, I'll give you a pass then 
And downwards!
I normally leave the typos in the texts when I put them on the wiki. Occasionally ppl come in and correct some of them ^^
Do the devs pick up those minor changes?
tbh I don't know if the log I mentioned appears in game or was from the website or something else
how did andrew clinton die
the audio log in R6B1 was out of order and now we have the clean version on the website, but I've never checked if they changed some text logs afterwards.
That particular log you mentioned was in R6D1.
I think all we know is that he died in "tragic events" atleast those are mentioned in the same log right after declaring that he died.
I will be serving as the Project Manager for Santonian Mining Company until a suitable replacement can be found. The tragic loss of Andrew has affected us all deeply, but we must carry on regardless. That is what he would have wanted.
I will attempt to make myself available to you as much as possible but would appreciate patience as we make changes in response to the tragic events of October 13th.
Okay excellent, keep up the good work Duck I'm counting on you
Im about to ban this person
do it pls
if anyone asks it was admin abuse
They want to ban me because I’m closing in on the truth
Those coordinates discussed by Amanes might point to the Atlantic but what if there is a chimp laboratory down there?
are we returning to monke?
hopefully not
hopefully yes
we got pretty close about 10 minutes ago
finally returning to the best theory 
chad theory?
Maybe 

I Haven’t read it myself actually
wdym? you haven't read every single log? 👁️
Imagine that 🙂
The logs are written by Adam Gascoine and Simon, I’m not really involved
My immersion 
like the melting vanishing sleeper corpses, it's not just a video game mechanic, it's not, it's a testament to their fragile physique ": D "
stop making me cry 😭
i apologize and i immerse as u and all of us lore-heads, i love the myth to death
I forgive you ^^
i frickin wanna see the fossil and get a better description or even a video evidence of the event that bore the upward tunnels
i wanna hear more of schaeffer or even get to see him someday
video logs 👀
i want to see the mimic and not have to cfoam and mine and shoot it to death, first something cool
singleplayer rundown mission with you and an ai schaeffer?
nah, that would destroy everything, NPCs suck bigtime
tell that to dragons dogma
companions in that game some of the best i've ever seen
corrected i stand, haven't played.. but the lore stuff u guys are doing, the decrypting and figuring out and chasing the leads, it's a constant 3d-glasses and popcorn event
awesome stuff
and the other 40% with arguing and yelling over text
it's so so.
sometimes i really miss the old basic lore,
is alot easier to digest without having to dig through ciphers and all kind of nonsense to access basic information we know already.
GTFO Version 1.0 is now available on Steam and the extended Rundown releases on the 12th of April. https://store.steampowered.com/app/493520/GTFO/
GTFO is a hardcore co-op FPS horror with high-intensity combat, tension-filled stealth, and team-based puzzle-solving for up to 4 players. In GTFO, you need to work together in order not to die toget...
given the new trailer,
it looks like that mountain-high sandstorm is coming right for us.
@0:22
the terrain also looks identical to a1
sandstorm or explosion of somekind?
possible that we need to take cover from the sandstorm and in the cave (if it the same place) we discover something horrible and retreat into the sandstorm and it follows us out
More R6 trailer footage.
New enemy. I think that's actually it.
There's a voiceline in there we didnt hear in the R6 trailer as well
"no sudden moves" ?
(doesn't sound like any of the 4 to me)
They showed the kraken fight in the trailer again
I will sue for false advertising if we don't refight the kraken this is a joke
Woods.
ty
All of the voicelines in the trailer we've heard in-game.
We have yet to actually be running on an open plain like in the trailer no?
maybe we will in 6.5
A1, only not much happens.
This looks a lot like A1, even.
I doubt it's a tile unique to the trailers.
Actually yeah, that is A1.
That's roughly 50 meters out from where you're ported in.
The cave you mentioned, Ray, would be about an inch or two to the left of the edge of the screen.
maybe that part of planet alpha we briefly jump to during A1 is where alpha three is located at.
There is a new enemy which is something “plant-like?”
It showed what looked like a pod opening up
Reminds me of deep rock galactic cave leaches
Damned Cave Leeches
shafe birthday today
it is a1
i've spent a lot of time chilling in that space
The coolest piece of "lore" in my opinion was Schaffer leaving the tape in one of the E1 levels saying he could hear us progressing through the area, then he gets cut off by sleepers attacking him
R4E1
It wasn't that insane but yes it's this one
to someone who started in r6 it looks pretty nuts to me
Honestly KDS seem like even worse employers than Deep Rock Galactic
All our trailers are being recorded in game/rundown (no special maps are being made just for trailers). Sometimes I record in an earlier build, so things might differ a bit from the final version.
Aw shit, this extended is probably gonna be huge for the lore
Did anyone grab all of the lore while we had the dev build for afew seconds?
smh
No abuse
or I'll grab you by the neck like a chicken 
Promise?
Later tonight bby xoxo
Nice, I understand none of that
oh no, im gonna have to leave until my group can play, have fun 
Teale is probably infected too
That's either an audio hallucination or something is actually in the walls in r6.5
God I hope nothing is in the walls
This kinda looks like they clear people of any Virus/Sickness during HSU
Then why didn't we cure NAM-V by shoving people into HSUs?
solanums
Oh fuck
I thought the devs said there was no time travel?
This seems like time travel
we'll see
they didn't
@solar nova are those from within garganta?
yeah but is that expedition in garganta
Almost certainly
it's a sleeper bag 🏕️
audio log TLK-WRL-295 on the bridge in b level
can't record audio, but it's there
collecting pics of all other logs
I'm pretty sure that just a normal sleeper, just you know dead
another audio, just before extracting coords, same terminal, PRG-TLX-778
oooh schaeffer log
he is moving through the vents, half-life style
there are a hundred of them in the commissary
he is going to KDS deep
this appears to be pre-KSO-ification of him.
audio right next to extract TLK-WRL-295 (QTS-BNN-996?)
he made it to KDS deep
they are all in hydrostasis, he doesn't know how to wake them
he locked the doors, but he can't get them open
he says he is going to starve to death
so he willingly goes into a HSU
he says if someone ever comes to get him out, it won't be him anymore, but he refuses to starve to death
i will keep posting and after i beat them all, i will dump a copy of EVERY text log
o7
heading into the C level now with @cunning bobcat
well good luck transcribing whatever the fuck the creature is saying in CX (zone 184)
that hurt to listen to and the massive silence at the start makes replaying it annoying
possibly send an audio file of it and we can do it
aight gimme sec
very start of C, audio PTJ-CRU-9D9
another state of truth broadcast
talking about building Garganta destroying habitat
"talking about mass extinction of land and sea species"
heading to a complete and total environmental collapse in the yucatan
though i doubt he would have known just how true he was
he is talking about the concrete, contaminants and stuff from the construction
so smart frosty
why you gotta pick on me?
i don't have to do this
i don't have to help
WHATTT I CALLED U SMART
THEN I GUESS IM THE FIRST ONE
also when u guys get to the main area of CX theres a hidden ladder that leads to i think schaffers hideout
it has a terminal locked wiht passwords im probably not gonna get to. Im playing solo w bots and C levels tend to not be that easy with them
well send the terminal stuff here
i won't really have a chance to play the extension
DX
audio from terminal in 184 (CX)
You won't? :(
That's fair.
i'll try and give you a transcription
gl main thing I got from it is the creature was born 7.5-8 hours ago but the whole time travel thing makes it unreliable. Also I think it ate schaff 😦
GOD DAMN THATS CREEPY.
i'll try and listen closer on headphones to discern what it's saying
another audio file while messing with power generators in the sewers, T43-777-45M
I'm getting out of bed. I gotta listen to these.
it's a schaeffer log
he says stay there, then silence
uhhhh... power went out? again?
that log might start an alarm
just wiped dont have time to try again gl guys. the code for schaffs terminal are in 186
x') my english is so bad i can't understand the saying of the creature due to voice deformation x)
is voice is cringe as f
got it
i cant make out what its saying when asked about the warden. "yes (gave?) life I am very young"
is the creature the neonate from rundown 3?

ok so it was born 27354 seconds ago = 455.9 minutes = 7.5983 hours
another audio log, the energy power terminal, Y6T-UH7-811
schaeffer
...
ITS THE MIMIC
"we aren't so different"
"hello scha.."
"is anyone there?"
"Hello?"
"i am a friend"
"We are not affraid"
banging
"are you a human"
loud screaming
"your not making any sense"
"we will try again"
more loud shuffling heard
end log
shafe: stay there, ok?
creature: i am the ?one ?dizzener??, no, i am the ?finder of one's misery?, the (unintelligible) my liberty. yess, we are not so different, you and i.
shafe: where'd you come from? did the warden send you?
creature: warden, yes, (unintelligible) i am the real-
shafe: FUCK THE WARDEN, KEEP AWAY FROM ME, BACK OFF!
creature: ?you gather the pitanance?, it is my birthday, born 27,354 seconds ago
shafe: HUH, WHAT? BORN?
creature: to start, to exist. i hope that you ?loss? our work in ?alt? and all true false future self should reboot
shafe: what? that doesn't make sense
creature: you should make a conversion of ?medical? (unintelligible) and of your mind. FRIEND
shafe: you, YOU KEEP AWAY FROM ME. BACK OFF! I MEAN IT-
[i don't include shafe speaking after this since it's understandable]
creature: YOU FOR MASS ?? WHEN YOU BECOME ONE OF US AS THE ?HAMMERMASS? THEN FRIEND (completely unintelligible)
this thing
i think it's the neonate
also that's a very rough transcription
i can't understand almost anything with the echo and background noise
it seems like the warden sent it to make shafe lock himself in an HSU
but i'll need the rest of the logs to provide a conclusion
I'm trying to transcribe aswell but only what the creature says since schaff is easy to understand
yeah, the creature's speech is a bit too garbled
someone needs to ~~||datamine ||~~record the audio without echo
but that's around the best i can give you in terms of what it's saying
i'll need to de-noise it to get anything more
nhmmm, i can try, i finish to test BX 🙂
i got schaeffer's terminal open
what's the pass
audio log.
TY5-ERS-23B
he is typing
saying names
what kind of person understands them?
someone will probably record it soon enough
heavy breathing
i have to understand numbers
we are numbers..
i need a programmer?
like BISHOP
wasn't he a programmer?
hacker?
yes yes
christie, fortuna, no, harrison
computer science
as good as bishop?
questions with no answe
now, who can fix things?
make them work for us instead of the warden
hear that? IM COING FOR YOU
you haven't got mine!
oh we need a medic, like dauda
The in-game version probably is identical to the one in game files.
Also, I'm probably going to wait for 2 weeks to start pulling files for the Notion.
so he has been monitoring our group for some time
and is trying to get people like us
if you are there, try code ROOF
it worked for me and Exterminator
that error alarm in the dark was BULLSHIT
invisible sleepers coming from EVERYWHERE
sounds like d2
or d3
haven't played in a long time
is c3+d2
it's just me or there is a lot more of scratching noises in the walls / conduits than usual in BX ?
coincides with what teale said
"are you a prisoner? no I am not confined or restrained I am up in the ?pride? of my liberty"
"yes we are not so different you and I"
"warden yes ?clone? life I am very young"
"you cant hurt ?the items? it is my birthday born 27,354 seconds ago"
"to starve, to exist I hope that will ?wash? our work in out and ?if? true false future self should reboot"
"you made conversion of (unintelligible) of your mind. friend"
I can't understand the rest
I think they added a lot of ambience.
CX as well.
Might be a thing for the base game, too.
probably referring to how the HSU change is only psychological and not physical
Gonna run that audio through a couple different filters and see if I can't get something easier to hear
sounds good
also theres a second log in that terminal I should've screen capped. It's a bunch of flagged phrases BIOCOM detected in messages. Mainly that project Rise are not clones but use genetic material.
maybe rise is connected to the neonates?
Probably
Do new logs confirm?
I haven't actually been reading them, just screenshotting and posting.
from the ones you posted, nothing conclusive
Damn, the neonate idea is still where it was before, for now.
you havent got my mind*
Schaeffer:
St--stay there, okay?
MIMIC:
Are you a prisoner? No, I am not confined or restrained, I am (in the prime? am the product?) of my liberty.
Yes, we are not so different you and I.
Schaeffer:
Where did you come from? Did the Warden send you?
MIMIC:
WARDEN, yes, hello my friend. I am very (unintelligible)--
Schaeffer:
Fuck the Warden! Keep away from me! Back off!
MIMIC:
You gathered the items. It is my birthday. Born 27,354 seconds ago.
Schaeffer:
Huh? WHAT-- born?
MIMIC:
To start to exist. I hope that will (unintelligible) our work in how to (catalogue?) true, (falsk? [Swedish for "dishonest, false"]), future self, shill (shall?) reboot.
Schaeffer:
What does that mean? You're not making any sense.
MIMIC:
You met conversion, a (vanguard? avenger? [Uh-ven-grrl is what I hear.]) Do not all your mind, friend?
Schaeffer:
You get away from me! Back off-- I MEAN IT!
MIMIC:
You for mass sea of when a (unintelligible) as one to the higher (more? form?) and friend, friend for we are... >growling noises<
it's hard to type when listening to someone talk at lightning speed, okay?
besides, i was the first person to even get the code for the terminal
YW
after conversion, i believe it says "of your mind"
as in shafe's mind will change
Throwing it in to Audacity now.
I'm also thinking of the audio logs in BX. So Schaff put himself in HS as a last resort like Dauda knowing he "wouldn't come out the same". That means the pods are already programmed to wipe minds. I thought that maybe some humans were left after the outbreak sending prisoners back down. There's a good chance the world is dead and biocom is just doing things Glados style
It's a survive objective.
try using the lyric remover that it has, normally it works for songs but if you tune it, you can use it to specifically remove the background noise
If you have a good HEL gun player, they can solo waves.
although you'll need a supply runner
since he has to stay guard constantly
almost constantly
The pods themselves don't wipe minds, it's a byproduct of prolonged hydrostasis.
Just for clarification.
which KDS abused
looks like schaff merced that mutant finally
we don't hear any gunshots or even slamming of any kind, just garbled screaming at the end
ah do we know how long it takes? schaff froze himself a week after the outbreak so he could give us a rough idea of when the game takes place
couldnt tell over our own gunshots
nope, unless we know shafe's current age
It's not specified how long it takes, unfortunately.
we still don't really have a time frame of when things occur while we are roaming around
Specimen 22 from the end of DX
although no more than a century has passed for sure
maybe 50 years for a tighter frame but not much to back it up
is spec 22 the mimic or just some random guy
appears to be random
the 5 day old mimic doesn't seem to be anything like that
also it invalidates our previous theory of it coming out of the bodies gustavo wanted burned
or at least is a big argument against it
Well, I don't think the pile that Gustavo wanted burned was in Garganta, it was a small village in the affected area, right?
Or town or whatever.
It's not specified.
near the chicxulub surface outpost of garganta supposedly
Hmm...
we know the appareance of the mimic ?
couldn't have been inside
I'm more than positive there were multiple body burnings.
yes, we have a previous log by schaeffer describing it
"White skin, like it was covered in ash, almost human."
well there definitely would be the need for more people to be dealt with
Especially with the rampant growth of NAM-V, I'd suppose.
also probably were workers disposed of
so the chance of them mutating is very likely due to their constant exposure to whatever causes sleepers
i think is the booster that let tto mutating
we just finished cx with secondary
we didn't see any strange creature
we saw the new floater in bx, but nothing new in cx
sounds good
got a good look while it was machinegunning me to half health
it's like a hybrid
it fires allotta shots lotsa fast
i heard that you can kill it
1 full mag with bullpup kills it
also 1 sniper shot
but you can only damage it's mouth while it's charging
it'll glow red slightly in it's mouth
that's the only time you can deal damage
lol, we just run around
we camped the stairs
i put down a fuckton of foam
and we only shot fliers
but yeah,
we didn't see any new creature in CX at all.
and we 100%ed it
what part of the lore is the most important to you all this extension
shafe
the audio log
and the lack of shirtless hackett
all of it haha
It's really tinny but some of the things are easier to hear now. I also truncated the silences so it's faster to analyze

Non-descript emails.
the one extra cosmetic requisition
that is much easier to understand
I tried to remove the background nose as well so that def helped
The reverb is still a little high though
it first says: i'm not prisoner, no, i am not confined or ???, i am in control of my liberty
"you gathered the items"
what items could it refer to?
boosters?
I am not confined or restrained
there hasn't been any mention of schaeffer collecting anything
Warden, yes, hello my friend, I am very gone
Exterm is taking a small break, and we will get right into DX collecting all of the logs
o7
Lost hardware (unintelligible) in out, and or, true false
I think it said "should we reboot"
its voice sounds like it and the fact that it can keep track of time in precise seconds
corrupted machine?
it is mainly humanoid though
could be a specimen with a corrupted chip yeah
at what time is that?
1:21
you ??? can
It sounds like conversion to me
between two people or something similar
The phonetics work out that way: you con-ver-shun
ooh
1:28 (unintelligible) other (author?) mind
MIMIC:
You met conversion, a (vanguard? avenger? [Uh-ven-grrl is what I hear.]) Do not all your mind, friend?
That's what I stated in my initial transcript.
sounds pretty much like what it says
Should I put this truncated version somewhere where it won't be lost in messages?
better to
Might be the best option, yeah. I'll download it as well to have a spare copy.
yeah that would be good
I'm curious as to why it starts freaking out at the end there. You can tell about 60% of the way through, it starts to elevate it's speech to be more guttural.
Or primitive, I suppose.
Maybe it did reboot? whatever that means
Hmm. That would be interesting, because we know at a base level it's near human, per his description from previous logs.
that would explain its sudden change to guttural screaming which then quickly disappeared without anything else happening
it didn't even sound like it made a step during that period
It would make sense, though. "It is my birthday. Born 27,354 seconds ago." --> 7.6 hours.
but then why would it consider its birthday to be after 7.6 hours?
or maybe because it's the same day?
Let's say it does go through a reboot process: it's plausible that whatever this creature is has a baseline of what it remembers, but somewhere along the way it got damaged and it resets itself to its last "backup" which, in this scenario, would have been its birthday.
So every.. 7.5-8 hours, it resets itself back to that last backup.
But that's baseless, just a thought.
that would make sense though
normal software has an internal clock from which it does a check for file integrity and such after a certain period of time
this could be in a 7.5/8 hour period after which it detects corruption and reverts to the last saved version
I just think it's interesting that after the reboot he just goes "friend 🤗 "
also coincides with its mention of "version"
Which level is this log from again?
CX
wait what?
we did all of cd
cx
where was this log?
we looked in EVERY terminal
we were there for almost 2 hours
the person who sent it said that it's from CX
it's not..
we cleared that map top to bottom in a grid pattern
i have hundreds of pictures of logs, and that isn't one of them
and i've posted the name of every audio log i've found in here
@unborn steppe said it's from there
it's in a terminal in 184
that is not in CX at all
we are in the lobby screen going to head into DX,
i don't memorize zone names
what was in the log
because that soulds like NOTHING we've found in that level
the creature talking to schaeffer
there are 3 if you scroll up
this one is
whatever about being born 7.6 hours ago is NOT in CX
what
Meaning this is in CX?
yes, that log is indeed in CX. we found that one also
Well yeah that's where the 7.6 hours comes from
wait, it keeps going?
the audio log has variations like a lot of other logs
ours shut off mid-transmission
Yeah, it's 20-30 seconds of silence.
the lights and power in the level went out
Then it kicks off to be the creepiest shit yet.
Bad luck.
the lights went out and we had another error alarm
that was probably unlucky timing
Haven't played any of the new stuff yet. Work sucks.
the only thing we heard was "stay there!", silence, then the power cut.
tell me when you're free and we can possibly go for a run or two
we are going to DX once exterm gets back from lunch
Sounds good! I'll have some time here in like 2 hours if that works with you.
no logs so far have actually cut power themselves in BX/CX for us
we are gathering all lore from every level
we have spent almost 2 hours on each level combing,
we spent 1 1/2 hours on cx alone
that is CX
in the ditch
it is jumbled, but a male voice has multiple lines
one is like "what is a rundown?"
and something about memories
your teammates talking constantly certainly doesn't help
does the log ID match with any we had found?
that sounds like the thoughts or logs of a lot of people mixed into one audio log
i posted all the numbers in chat
yeah sorry, I can't control that with randoms
Deafen
it seems to likely be some of the player log clips
ez
lemme find number
which ditch?
ok it is KSOs talking
CX is filled with ditches
I gotta get back to work now but if there's a cleaner version of the log and nobody else has done it I can try and clean it up later
"i don't have clearance"
ditch near extraction
"we don't have our memories"
we didn't find jack shit in the giant extraction room
though it doesn't help that there were no lights
prisoners talking
Log file number is 5R3-8M4-HCX
then it's either scientists talking about legion or prisoners talking in their memoirs/hearsay stuff
I wish I had recorded the terminal number
terminal number is commonly random
well, there is the log file number
logs appear on a terminal in the same location, though it can have a different ID (the terminal that is)
they don't have any memories, that's the problem
refers to KSO's i assume
the referencing "rundown" is like
idek
maybe then garbled hearsay data
feels fourth wall breaking
not necessarily
there is definitely a more clear male voice with multiple lines though
i think that is connected to schaff's annoying mimic pal
or is literally the same thing
could be
it did repeat his own lines back to him in one log
makes sense it would be interested in memories
maybe that's why the speech is garbled, it tried to get information from a corrupted file
and only got certain prominent lines
after that, nothing makes sense as shafe said
if I can get another run I will try to isolate all these as audio by muting discord lol
that would be good
I don't know if any of those were lines provided by players
or just garbling
I didn't hear my own line at least, but hard to hear anything coherent in it
doesn't sound like it
the quality of the audio is too good
but they could've cherry picked player lines
and went with that
i imagined they would be cherry picking regardless
well...time to try find another group since my friends are all busy
aint this the complex needs your voice clip?
don't know if it's lore related, but someone know why they use BX, CX, DX notaiton for this expeditions ?
cause3 they aint directly relarted to the main missions? / play in the past/future?
thouigh i understand less about the lore now then before extension xD
they atleast had some relation?
schaeffer voice directly after uplink in DX
ARE YOU HUMAN?
WE AREN'T SO DIFFERENT, YOU AND I
oh
this is that log you guys already posted
damn schaeffer is angry
"die you fucking mutant"
unknown
mutant?
Roughly, but the tiers were the main chronology.
schaefer assismilated the mimic?
do we have any of the "miscellaneous" hsu / warden calculation log screenshots?
but we don't hear any signs of quarrel afterwards
not yet
Side note: I really want to know who voiced the Mimic. False chords are hard to maintain for that long, especially when you try to growl and scream the way it did.
