Ok good to know. Well the company that makes the neonate HSU does not have to be the company that works on Project Rise.
Agreed, they can just order neonate hsus from dreyfus. they are all so secretive that I woulnd't be suprised if Santonian didn't know about those
//Kovac will have exclusive administration of the area. No Santonian employees will enter the area without express permission from Kovac. Exceptions will be made for select individuals, to be outlined in the full contract. I would personally be interested in a brief tour of the new location and an informal meeting to further discuss the RISE project, but that would be as a personal favor to me and would not influence any agreement between yourselves and Santonian.//

Dean,
The KDS shipment will be arriving this week. This delivery is to be dispatched immediately to our private vault. They are NOT to be delivered to the usual Hydrostasis holding vault. A Kovac representative will meet you at the vault entrance and take things over from there.
These HSUs have been allocated to the Rise Project. They are not to be unpacked or interacted with in any way by anyone other than a Kovac representative with Tier 5 clearance. Please instruct your staff accordingly.

Thank you for the correction. I have spoken to coordinator Harriet Lorde and made the necessary arrangements.
If you haven’t been informed, I assume you don’t need to know. I suggest you speak to Anders if you have questions.

Why are you sending this to me? Is this the kind of crap Clinton used to deal with? Contact your area coordinator. That’s why we have them.
Also, what the hell is the Rise Project?

Re:Re:Shipment log
these are the only real logs that mention rise whatsoever
yeah "They are not to be unpacked or interacted with in any way by anyone other than a Kovac representative with Tier 5 clearance. Please instruct your staff accordingly." sounds like they are made to believe they are normal HSUs
there are technically 6, but query rise and pcs alert don't say anything, it's just computer data
Idk sounds to me they ordered Neonate HSUs from Dreyfus and then let nobody know besides Davies and KDS themselves. And then they just used the infrastructure of Santonian to bring them to Garganta.
OH MAN! Finally got the chance to meet Sleeping Mother in d2 area
wa
cute
would smash...
NOW I can say that I explored everywhere in this Rundown
with the exception of d4...
Cant explore that place well
Oh god.. your in THAT room
XD
That makes more sense then
I killed ALL of the charger scouts without waking up that first room
This was in the next room after first
one of my favourite rooms ngl
R1c1 zone64a is the best in the game no questions asked
I was super intriqued by this
What do u mean by THAT room?
It's the "hold your ground or die trying" zone
As in the absolute death trap?
In r6d2, the room with half a dozen scouts and 2 sleeping mothers
One of the optional rooms for the terminals
Um... Theres at least 3+ Sleeping mothers
I never bothered to go in there
XD
I always did the 5 scout and the error alarm
Having 200% c-foam was far easier than dealing with 3 mothers
I did d2 just for the purpose to see what those rooms look like as i never been there before
It was never meant for me to complete it of course
The data vault in 6.5's dx is pretty cool
Of death
Frosty.
I finished that DX with just me and my 3 botfriends twice
and without Biotracker
3 uplink terminals with infinite fliers, infinite strikers, and an armored floater what feels like every 30 seconds
I did it 3 man, we didn't use bio either. For the most part, just c-foam, mines, and 2 sentries
My team never used foam
Bot wasn't the best but it certainly was the hardest part of this entire rundown
It is But I found the best defensive placement for sentries vs everything
Foam can't foam fliers but it is good for spraying while running to give time to setup defenses
Its good for delay but It wont last that long
Also to squeeze out those last few % on a given scan
Here
There
what room is this? :O
It’s in D2 Mother Darkrooms
It’s past the Charger scouts but…. It has multiple sleeping mothers and in some cases, there could be at least 2 in one room
What Wyvern said ^^
omg in rundown 6? I never got to D2 😭 that room looks SO cool though
Yeah normally you can't move around that much in there, we had to clear that room once because... maybe somebody woke everything up
clear it successfully?!
Yup
our first d2 we killed a mom in the room and were very happy. then we went deeper in and found another back there. it and its' friends didn't wake to our gunfire etc
then we scanned a door and went to look for terminals and found a run-ending scout-birther-combo from that room too 🙂
d2 birthers can remain behind the locked door, i'll take the charger error over it happily, smiling.
prepatch scattergun moment
mlam
mlam?
so what's up
pog
i pinged you because i know you know quite alot about biology and stuff
and.. it's a bit weird
reading it now
So yeet
growing 'seeds'
replacements for legion
accelerating growth at the cost of neural development
"We need an organically evolved decision tree forged from spontaneous stimulation. We need fundamental instinct."
he is right
that's all big sciency words that i don't understand
what is spontaneous stimulation
if they are growing these creatures and are making them artificially without a baseplate to work from genetically. The genes for the neural development will not be expressed properly
When you have a thought when something happens
and remembering how you reacted and performing after being entrained to it
So like when somebody throws you a ball, you naturally catch it
why?
Instinct?
not creatures, mostly human in origin. shipments of hsus for rise from outside of garganta
Instinct is both designed and honed
without proper time to hone your instincts, you react improperly to situations with no idea on whether you are reacting to strongly or too weakly
yee
Theses creatures were also able to walk alongside the smalls and even interacted with a scout (debatable cuz scout screamed)
Scouts are probably meant to react to all stimuli. I doubt the tentacles consider friend/foe, since if the Sleepers are awake, something's agitated them.
But we can already see their sense of danger is out of wack. 22's inability to properly communicate nor understand the social cues coming from Shafer is an example of this. Like when somebody holds their hand out to shake, you reciprocate based on a foundational knowledge that is ingrained from growing up around humans for years. These specimens do not have that trained instinct
they also still have the intellect of a child
True
despite their size
We can see when it was being attacked, it didn't know how to properly react
Was Schaefer sneaking in Rise areas?
no, he was sneaking to KDS deep
the warehouse for legion & biocom
r4 he escaped the warden
Social behaviours and instinct are like this: It's like showing someone a speedrun of a game and then handing them a remote and expecting them to perfectly match it, they can't. Rationally, they know exactly what to do, but they have none of the instincts or muscle memory to call from.
what wasnt
I thought he had to sneak into KDS Deep and found it thus him getting into an HSU
essentially,
there were sleepers everywhere and he didn't mention anybody else alive anywhere
he decided to try and make his way through the vents to KDS deep to try and find any KSOs or anybody still alive
But he got into a section with rows upon rows of HSU units
he initially planned on trying to climb one of the blast tunnels to the surface, but it was too steep
Which I would assume is part of KDS Deep
when he got to KDS deep, everyone was already asleep
sleepers were in KDS deep also, and on his tail, so he locked the doors
he couldn't get them back open, and the room he was in is a dead end with no way out
he entered an HSU to not starve to death
he was here.
this room
no
you cannot break free of an hsu
it is like a medical coma where you are brain dead
Ok
somehow, which is the discrepancy that we don't know,
he got into the hands of the warden
The only way out of an HSU is to be let out.
and he broke free of the warden during one of his missions
Ok
I thought he was sent on missions by the warden?
yes he was
He WAS
Before KDS deep was opened?
Now I get it
that is the discrepancy, yes.
Well, hold on
So basically, something in Schaeffer broke
That mission to Mars used HSUs, didn't it?
here @rocky wraith
watch at the timestamp
also below that post is the question and answer
if you dont want to watch it on twitch
So we do not fully know why or how Schaeffer broke free from WRDN
we do not know whatsoever, and it is such a problem that it completely shatters the timeline of that point.
as it is backwords
with him escaping from the warden before the warden could access him
..Nevermind, then.
Interesting
And now we have Schaeffer claiming about fighting back against WRDN
What was Schaeffer’s title/job/role?
His occupation?
well s22 claimed to be a friend of the warden, and schaeffer killed s22, so it would seem he is trying to fight back against warden, though it's mostly a futile endeavor
i can get that for you, 1 second
Pit boss for SMC.
i have the email
Ok
bleh]
Unless… there may be something in Rise that may provide a small hint as to how to break the containment or a true % of a successful WRDN control?
rise is unrelated to legion
rise is a substitute/alternative to legion
Wait so…what is Legion?
legionnaires are sensative to certain frequencies..
i could get the log but im trying to find the email for you rn
Oh ok. Sorry
basically, memory wipe humans with Hydrostasis, afterwards condition and implement commands through their implants producing soldiers that follow the wrdns orders
it's not really a wipe, since they can still access it, but not on demand, only when the mission demands it, see why you have Schaeffer looking for all kind of specialists in his hideout
found it
And Rise are most likely Genetically-Bred Soldiers?
Yeah, it's kinda like that
AH ok. That explains some ideas I may have
Industrial Engineering
Is it possible that there may be something that he could do to jig up something against the WRDN. Despite its criminal history, it sounds like he has a lot of engineering know how to use equipments or hotwire some
here is the frequencies log also

Mr. Johanson,
With regards to the psychological matching of our operatives, we have found that each designation has a tendency to take a specific role within the quad. Genesis often establish themselves ...
"His criminal history" it looks more the kind of criminal history of a person who grew in a fucked up place more than someone truly evil/amoral
But according to the Paper… it also suggests that he purposefully hid some certain informations and his extensive intellect so he may have something planned?
well lets be honest, it probably wouldn't be the best idea to put your crimes on your resume
depending on the crimes
CV?
Curriculum vitae
Oh ok thx
I wouldn't say that rise is unrelated to legion... rise is just a program that aims to supply legion with soldiers that are very cooperative and are grown from neonate to adult in a short amount of time.
i suppose, but they are seperate projects
and we dont know if that was the only goal for rise
since a lot of the stuff with nam-v and sleeper testing is still up in the air
when does the new rundown drop tomorrow anyhow?
2pm MESZ
🙂
EDT*
edt is est
No it's not
only difference is during daylight savings
EDT is 1 hour ahead of est lol
during daylight savings
which it isnt
edt is summer spring exclusive, est is winter fall
it's the same time zone
It's daylight savings right now my dude
yes
that doesn't change the fact that its the same time zone
this is why people hate daylight savings time. stupid arguements like this
I swear you just said "during daylight savings which it isn't" but
I'm also pretty sure we swap between the two, est doesn't change we just swap to edt
Because then why have edt lmao
edt only exists because of daylight savings
Yes
we have edt because politicians decided it would be a good idea a hundred years ago
I know that
and now we are still the only country in the word that does this stupid shit
That's not the point, the point is the rundown releases 8am edt but 7am est lol
clocks and everything automatically update between est and edt
Okay???
Not everywhere in this time zone is dumb enough to do daylight savings. est still exists during this time, 1 hour behind edt
Am I explaining this badly?
1 hour early is still better than 1 hour late, but i digress
?????????????
its the topic as a whole that is badly.
We release it tomorrow
The timer in game should help you all 😊
Yeah frostty is just a bit confused about time zones dw lmao
8am
edt
We have daylight savings in Sweden. It’s extremely confusing sometimes
8am edt and 7am est are THE SAME TIME
according to my clock right now, it will be at 8
there is no confusion
But it doesn't release at 8am est because that's 9am edt, an hour after release
the one time I don't use discord timestamps 
Quit being pedantic.
dont blame yourself for useless beaurocrats' problems
I honestly did not think it would cause this much confusion usually I just get told this and it's over
the difference between est and edt is so minor that the whole topic of daylight savings is the issue, not the difference of 1 hour
Frosty, you two are just gonna end up going around in circles. Let them mald over timezones if they want, it's only an issue if the pissing match keeps going.
Great lore conversation guys 😬
Real life lore
Do our prisoners get daylight savings and get to sleep in for an extra hour?
"Wardennnnnn 5 more minutes!!!!!!"
perfect
That’s why we all have our HSU’s
pog
You save much daylight in hydrostasis
They say you spend 50% your life asleep, with HSU's you spend 100% of your time in a visceral nightmare
Pure entertainment
I haven’t played the previous rundowns ||what is a ‘Neonate’?|| I’m looking at Marley’s new Gtfo video and I was curious.
Is this spoiler…?
A baby HSU pod that we got from R2 and was the main focus of R3
idk
I see thank you
Who is marley?
And yes, we do know more
The neonates are essentially mutated children, created for and used in the rise project
There they are artificially aged into adults for use in the legion program, though they still have the mental capacity of a child
We gather one of these neonates in rundown 2
In rundown 3, we resuscitate it and eventually leave it behind at the end of the rundown
So the total goal of it, is still unknown
You can also find rundowns and neonatal units in several places after that. Notably, in one of the X levels in the extension of rundown 6 you can find 4 of the units that store neonates like the ones in r2e1
There are also hints with the rise project being related to the sleepers and nam-v, though there is essentially no information on this topic and it is still very up in the air
It was to study the brain patterns, potentially the wrdn solving the instincts problem with supplementation from the nframe
however that does seem troubling
How do you know about brain patterns?
Something I missed back then?
But regardless, we don't know the wardens motivations
Because in the later expiditions we were getting more power for the calculations regarding the nframes
and specifically for the nframe data
the neonate was generating large amounts of data that the wrdn was working with, it could be studying the brain patterns in order to better induce control over specimens
What the hell rundown is this guy playing?
"Do we really need to ensure the Seed can process an entry on the stack rather than focusing on unsupervised sustainability?"
If the wrdn can get better neural efficiency with the stack processing it allows greater sustainability of the seed
Why is there leaked footage of r7 on youtube?????
wait what???
Its like yes
@frail pollen
Because someone leaked
This is awful
cheers for the ping
Well this completely ruins r7 for me
No point in trying to farm it out day 1 now
If these people already have everything done and posted
just L
just dont watch the video and you can still do it yourself
It doesn't matter
could have at least waited for R7 to release
Some idiot leaked something, who cares
Fuck, who knows how long this video has been live
yea
It's the entire first few levels and content
I do
don't watch it
Don't watch, play yourself.
Video is gone!
Gonna yoinky spoinky the video for obvious reasons 
I still constantly ask YouTube to stop recommending me Elden ring because I haven't finished it.
There is no fucking point in going in and gathering new info on day 1 if these assholes are getting it early from the devs and posting it
It completely ruins it
its fixed now
there is a point. They seem like complete casual players
no worries
it isn't, the video is still on youtube
Hell, it found it because somebody was in here asking for lore questions about it
Right here
So this IS a problem
a problem for 10cc because leakers are stupid but surely not for you
It is spoiling people and the update isn't even out yet
It is for me
you dont have to watch
I go in every update on day 1 blind
You are missing the point
@frail pollen why did you let content creators play updates early in the first place?
that's always happened
I thought all testing and such were under an NDA
I'll defer to @dull crest 😄
build hype for new players
That is a horrible horrible thing
maybe miscommunication happened and the creators weren't aware of when they were allowed to release the content, OR they're just asses and are not careful, or don't caree
Once the update is out, yeah, but this is different
new players good
they gave markiplier and his gang early versions of r2 to play back in the day
those guys didn't leak stuff
I wouldn't say that is a good thing either
The content creators were advertising the free weekend and the sale. But yea I am also confused of why they didn’t upload it tmr.
Even though he didn't leak
If they were under NDA, they're incredibly stupid for leaking it, because 10CC is now within their rights to sue
yea it's the content creator's own fault for that
They ARE under NDA
All testers are
I’m sorry if I spoiled it for people. I didn’t know it was from the new rundown until later. I thought it was an old one
It was talked about in here when r7 first went into testing
i wouldn't classify them as testers? They're there to advertise the game
Your not at blame here
This is the problem
Giving content creators early access is perfectly fine, literally any bug hunter can leak CCs are only different in audience size lol
If they're under NDA they're explicitly not allowed to post anything about it, advertising or otherwise
truee
That's how NDAs work
i am aware
I know they say and kind of press is good press, but this is FUCKING HORRIBLE PRESS
dont watch the video then
Looks like good press
What a way to start R7 man
no this is horrible press lmao
Yes, these guys are up to be sued by 10c
dont think 10cc would take it that far
And justifiably so
not worth it, it's just a leak
They should
they'll lose their credibility
You can't just break an NDA
They deserve to
obviously
Could be that they are not under NDA as they may have been asked to spread awareness about the new rundown and such
I do think 10CC should reevaluate their vetting procedure for testers if this is a problem, but I also think you're massively overreacting and need to stop frothing at the mouth, Frosty
Although seeing A1 B1 and C1 just shown together is kinda cringe
That video already has almost 10 THOUSAND views
In only a couple hours
That is a lot of people spoiled
"This video is from one of my Twitch livestreams. Click here to watch us play live! - "
oop
Regardless. That was their choice. Stop freaking out.
I take this seriously, I don't play many games and this seriously ruins the r7 experience for me going into it
literally livestreamed A1, B1, and C1
I had plans for all of day 1 which are now ruined
You're making it sound like an end of the world scenario when it's far from that
might be a copypasta they have in every one of their descriptions. I'll go check if they actually streamed it
they aren't ruined, we'll still play
This is a normal problem for games that do community testing, and so long as it doesn't turn into an epidemic of this happening every release it's not really a massive deal
It's a big deal for individuals sure, but that's all for now
pls ty
It's not the same
don't see any gtfo streams within the last 2 months
Are we still gonna play? they haven't shown any logs
Once you get one leak the whole suspense is dead in the water
As for whether or not 10CC sues the poster or not, that's none of our concern, and suing them wouldn't hurt their credibility any
Most likely, but I'm still gonna be mad about it
You can vent to me the whole time about it :) pretty sus tho
It's not just me. It ruins it for other people
You don't ask to be spoiled
That's how spoilers work
You don't get the choice
That's what ruins it for people
It isn't just me that this is bad for
I mean, i click on the video to see what it was about. See a frame that was sus, pause, click away
it's really not that hard
Dude, you're virtue signaling way too hard on this. If people decide to be outraged about it, whatever, but don't go around frothing at the mouth for them.
^^
@dull crest were these people under NDA or what the fuck happened?
@eternal talon time to chill for 5 mins uwu
That's none of our business.
take a breather
Legally, that's none of our business.
And I decide to be outraged.
just tone it down, there's no need to be pushy or rude to the devs
Be outraged for yourself. Quit acting like it's your job to be outraged for everyone else too. It's a bad look.
Nothing is on fire
if anything, you causing a ruckus would get more people to look for the video
Your plans for day one were ruined, okay. It's perfectly fine to be angry about that.
just stop talking lmao, 10cc knows about this now
Excellent
I do however still think it would be worthwhile for 10CC to reevaluate their tester vetting process.
I totally promise you do not hear it trying to sleep
Can we get Schaeffer ASMR?
Schaeffer asmr is in R4C1 log
Paranoid schizophrenia asmr
content creators leaking stuff early is sadly common :(
WAIT
If this happened in r2 I don't know why they wouldn't have by now
people just don't take it seriously enough
did it?
Yes
A video of it
they released a video early
thats fucking funny
Stream unsure
Looking into it 🙂
That's why I say reevaluate, because they need to understand the legal ramifications of signing a document like that and reneging
Sorry this has to be how your day goes calle
Which can and does include a lawsuit
The biggest of sledgehammers
well I understand but what i was trying to say was it's a problem in this field lol, not a 10cc specific problem
they got seriously unlucky
I wouldn't say unlucky tbh. I've seen complaints that people have leaked stuff all the way back to the start of the game.
yes but not to this degree of mainstream :(
if someone sent me that video
certain games have based leakers
GTFO leaks are certified un-based
Don't you dare
also i see r7 is continuing with the theme of rundowns being leaked
r3-r6 all had leaked shit
6.5 didn't get leaked
Anyone who did would be liable to get smacked by 10CC for leaking unreleased content
im talking about rundown launches
And it was so fun on day 1 just learning stuff
And experiencing it fresh with everyone else
Can we all agree to pretend as if we never saw what was leaked and speculate on R7 like we have no idea what was leaked
yeah they would definitely sue people for breaking NDA
definitely 100%
That is impossible now
I have been tainted
I think we're going to get breakfast before A1
Smacked =/= lawsuit, genius
I'm still. Not
I have seen the things
I'll make out with whoever sends me the video
:( fruit of the rotten tree
no cap
On God babe?
on god.
But unlike some people, I won't won't go out of my way to ruin the experience for others
fr you want the bussin shit?
fr fr.
I hate leakers with every fiber of my being
STOP
Bro what happens in warden's dms is warden's business
Jesus christ can you people just chill the fuck out?
Sorry babe, Lore-wife Frosty said no :(
Lore is the only reason i play this game
this. If I want to send people $500 for the video then let me do it
tbf, I just briefely looked in here and I have to say, maybe don't explain what they showed in a spoiler video if you don't want ppl to be spoiled ^^
Cool. Now quit frothing before your give yourself a stroke.
Seriously.
I will not
Best to just drop the topic lest things get even more unruly
Not like any of us can do anything about it anyway
That's the worst part
Fair. I'm out. Someone ping me if Frostty gets bonked and put into timeout. Don't actually, please
The @ is prepared
Literally don't. I was joking.
:)
Back to a cool idea I was thinking about earlier
A very stretched theory that is just wild speculation
But could the shafer that went in and the shafer that came have had different bodies?
Like I suspect that the memories are being shared between prisoners
We are in truth the neonate children and have survived everything and are now looking for answers ?
but could there be cases that such things could be taken to the extreme and the person who escaped in R4 is actually a person who thinks they are shafer, but merely only has his memories?
nononononnono
We already know backstories to prisoners
that far is too far
I was going to suggest that the discrepancy may be related to the Mars mission in that maybe Shafer set a release timer on the HSU, because I'm pretty sure a release signal to the Mars mission HSUs would've fizzled out considering the distance, but no one cared to answer my question so
Potential for a release timer
He does know a bit of coding
And given that wrdn was locked out of it at the time
Wouldn't even need that if it's already set up for one, provided it had a panel to use it
Shit, Kovac would probably use the release timer as a failsafe so they don't lose their KSOs to malfunctions
If wrdn didn't have authorisation for kds deep, the authorisation may have been localised to a console next to the HSUs and he could have set a timer therer
I mean a panel on the HSU itself
Setting a timer remotely opens the possibility for all sorts of fuckups
possible as well
But if you can just punch in a time limit on the unit itself, almost zero chance of something going wrong unless the HSU itself is defective/damaged
That, and it's possible to have both manual and remote inputs
yeeee
Could mass-set timers remotely (like whenever KDS Deep was stocked), and when using them individually can just punch the time limit in manually
So he escapes briefly due to timer where he mucks about, unconnnected to the wrdn, says a bit, nothing to do with wrdn or with the other kso's on missions. And then is forced back in because he's still locked in deep
I think, given how unlikely the alternative is, Shafer manually setting a timer on the HSU is the most likely explanation
Then he gets released by wrdn, this time with teams
Which is when he mentions the teams for the first time and the wrdn
Especially since all he has to do is wait for the Sleepers to go dormant again so he can sneak out
Aye, though I'm talking specifically about the situation where he'd broken away from the WRDN and was stuck in KDS Deep with Sleepers trying to pound the door down
The HSU having a manually set timer would be his golden ticket, because then he can just pop out after a certain time and see if they've gone dormant again
And if not, he just resets it and goes back in
Rinse and repeat until he can sneak out
Well, at that point clearly the timer had expired before the WRDN was able to get to him
Given he went on a small rampage and brained S22
yush
I meant on one of the times he went back in to wait
Ah
Actually, now that I think about it
Don't HSUs all have some kind of control panel on the side?
It was only once his whole squad dies that he begins to go rogue and head deeper, ignoring the wrdn
below 1100 meters right?
Idr
bro bug hunters and dev's literally play the new rundowns weeks before you do so I don't see the problem. Someone is going to beat/ play the levels before you its inevitable.
hmmmm
Personally, I'm excited to see what kind of new cosmetics might come in with R7.
Customization is always a huge + for me
they are cool
More heavy-duty prosthetics please and thank you 10CC
is the video still on youtube?
Spoiler chat shall be avoided for the foreseable future
well time for me to leave the server for a few weeks. spoilers are here
@past matrix @rocky wraith
yo
Did Warden fuck up anything on its end during R4? Like accidentally lock itself out of stuff?
beanz is talking about the reactor i believe warden fucked up that we left before it finished
it might have been r5
i dont think it locked itself out of anything on it (especially since reactor shutdown was still broken)
i don't remember but i know you had talked about it in the past
r5 had the reactor that almost blew up or something
but that wasnt the wardens fault
well actually it was
what was the context behind this pls?
basically it was a 4? level reactor
and when it was starting up, the warden noticed like some wacky anomalies happening
Because there may have been a chance warden had already got access to kds Deep but locked itself out during a fuck up on its end
then after the 2nd? level it noticed that it was going to do something super fucky
then after the 3rd level it decided to just abandon the reactor
hold up
anomolies?
what kind of anomalies
temperature
(startup test 2 of 4 warms up)
TEMPERATURE ANOMALY DETECTED, INTENSIFYING SEQUENCE...
(startup test 3 of 4 warms up)
-WARNING! -- CRITICAL TEMPERATURE REACHED! SEQUENCE CORRUPTED... DOOR TO ZONE 288 UNLOCKED
(Startup test 4 of 4 warms up)
ERROR! -- CRITICAL MALFUNCTION -- SEQUENCE TERMINATED!
STAND BY FOR VERIFICATION CODE
WARNING! -- MASSIVE BIOREADINGS APPROACHING!
(reactor performing high intensity test, this lasts for a few seconds instead of the normal minute or two)
REACTOR TEST SEQUENCE: HIGH INTENSIVE TEST
SECTOR LOST! --- EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY THROUGH ZONE 293!
(security verification)
REACTOR TEST SEQUENCE: SECURITY VERIFICATION!
INPUT THE VERIFICATION CODE!
(reactor completes)
.. DOOR TO ZONE 293 OPENED BY EMERGENCY SEQUENCE. EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!
PUSH FORWARD TO EXTRACTION POINT!
Yeah that
SECTOR LOST had me shitting myself at the time
It's rare for the warden to come across as panicked
Ty
Warden using exclamation points?
Now that's an anomaly
There's no reason for it to do so
unfortunately I don't thinks it would block access to kds deep, so never mind that route. Ty for the help tho!
I think it does surprisingly often. I remember thinking the same thing at the time but noticing the usual ones after

Yes, because nobody has decoded it yet?
Where?
French pulling through for us again.
😔 ✊ 🇫🇷
😔 ✊🏾 🇫🇷
@eternal talon gonna spoil you about R7’s lore, get ready to read your dm’s
get blocked. not this time.
😎
how did schaeffer solo r4e1
if s1 scans were broken
i feel like this is a topic that isnt much discussed given the lore implications of it
he broke 'em
I just want vr 
There is a fully functioning vr mod isn't there
Sorry about talking about mods
its outdated
cause
new rundown
plus rundown 7 is up our alley
Ah
so its gonna be even more outdated
I might get a haptic suit so I wish 10Chambers did a vr add on atleast
We tried a haptic suit on one of our streams 😅
How was it?
Sounds interesting
Extremely cool! Worked pretty much natively ✌🏽
I hope haptic support comes, if it does I'll be one of the first to try!
So in prep for the new rundown
What do we know about the mimic creature that Schaeffer fought?
Subject 22 was created likely by the RISE program
Basically a creature based from a human and had its growth accelerated but its brain too young to match. A child in all but body.
What is the rise program?, google is not cooperating with me
late response but
its basically to "grow" soldiers
instead of turning people into them
basically making them into mindless slaves from the moment they are "born"
alright lit, thank you for the info
there's one log in a1
at the very end
it's state of truth
LOL I GUESSED IT
I said we would be making specimen 23
the name of a1?
"Unit 23"
the changed name of specimen 22?
"Unit 22"
im so smart
we hear warden's voice during the EVAL
recycle group 7a42?
schaeffer talks over the PA about "getting the revoloution started"
hahaha
schaeffer C-foaming maddox
and struggling over the PA
just an FYI, gathering all the logs i can find as i go through
currently at the end of b1
will post everything later today
alright so:
A1 lore: ||Schaeffer asks us to get two HSU's from a HSU claw machine thing. One is a guy named Maddox who he knew, whom was an engineer. After opening the HSU, Maddox attacks him and Schaeffer is forced to kill him. We carry a neonate called "Unit 23" and resuscitate it.||
we don't know if he killed him, at least i didn't hear that he killed him
he did
maddox was on the board
they fought, and he regretted it, but i don't recall that explicily
B1 confirms he died
when you enter the T-scan zone
i am in love with the new high caliber pistol
its everything the revolver wasn't for me
B1 lore: ||Schaeffer has plans to open a second HSU, and we send shit to him. When he is transporting Maddox's body, a creature he hasnt seen before went and grabbed his body and ran off with it. We carry and open Unit 22 via the depressurizer. Logwise there is a log about terminal screens being too bright, a log about explorers finding new species in I think is supposed to be Destination, a log about people needing mandatory psych checks, and a log about KSOs being hostile towards people||
yea
already seen it
i'm already collecting screencaps
just heard it
schaeffer is with a group of ksos
i believe the eye in the intro hints to something
A1's warden intel mentions the prisoners thinking something is watching them
the terminals hurt their eyes
so maybe its symbolic
where is the log in b1 about destination btw?
at extraction
wanted to find it before i left
@past matrix
dont remember
if you dont have the log how am i supposed to verify
i screenshotted it
maddox isn't the first that was taken out of their HSU by schaeffer
that's what the whiteboard was for
schaeffer knows how to manipulate KSOs
start of c1 he woke henrikson and henrikson follows orders without thinking
schaeffer takes him away to "dig it out"
also nyxos apparently started making more stuff than just mining drill bits
that looks like Insight tech
it's labeled nyxos
yes
so what was schaeffer doing to maddox during A1?
i cant say for certain
the rundown JUST came out
we don't have even half of the logs yet
i'd wait a day or two before everything is collected and analyzed in here
aye aye
||my guess is the Thing Is Schaeffer||
no
how could that be I mean
because schaeffer was the one dragging maddox along
schaeffer said it snatched him away
Guys, I forgot to finish all the (story) levels in rundown 6, is there any good resource to get the lore about what I missed?
||I mean in the first log it sounded like he Schaeffer straight up killed him||
gtfo lore for dummies for basic lore
for r6 specific, you'd best ask @past matrix. he has a rundown specific summary
he punched him to sleep or something idk
he did take maddox along after that though
its irrelevant anyway. you can't snatch something away from yourself
idk just my vibe from first few logs.
how do I do that?
we'll find out later into the rundown, probably
there is only one log in that level. the rest are intercoms
i pinged him. when he checks discord he should see the text and msg you.
talking about b1 c1 also
thanks. thought it was a bot and needed a command. ❤️
none of the terminals in b1 mention it. i'm on c1 now but i don't think it will show up.
||it just sounds like he's talking to himself like he absorbed him or some shit but that's just me||
you don't need spoiler text here.
oh
uhh there's not really that much
what story levels did you miss
does anyone have a copy of the schaffer lines from R7A1?
well.. i just did 1 and 2 :/
alright so:
i an currently stuck at the end of c1
nobody will join my lobby in lfg
bots aren't smart enough for this
how many do you need
i have 3 hold on
uno momento
new enemy
i have pictures
and holy shit
it's LITERALLY just a snatcher from gears of war 4
btw the lore is going to take far monger than expected
i don't think i can do this by myself
then the bit that is very.. a bloodbath
this is the new creature btw
C1 lore: ||Schaeffer opens another HSU and finds a guy named Henrikson. He convinces him to revolt against the Warden and how he will get his memories back if he puts himself in this machine. The machine effectively tore a chip out of his neck causing excruciating pain, and they decide to get out of there. Gameplay wise, we get through labs and push to a room with a singular, broken, and bloody container. There's dead bodies scattered around and the zone is in lockdown. The Warden fails to get it out of lockdown then seemingly has a stroke, in which several of the lockdown doors open but not the one needed for extraction. A new enemy spawns in that looks similar to Specimen 22 but instead of being just humanoid, it opens its chest up and puts you into it. The team extracts with 9 glps.||
it splits itself open to swallow players whole
HIGHLY recommend doing what schaeffer said
stay OUT OF THE DARKNESS and with your squad
it seems far less agressive when so.
this looks nothing at all like s22, i'm sorry
also it's not just one
i counted 6-7 that attack during the encounter
they spawn on loop
not at all like s22
cope
it looks closer to a normal human than it does to s22
your such a pain in my ass
@rocky wraith
on the topic of eggs you and i were talking about yesterday
they aren't alive, they don't show up on thermals
I'm here!
Wait there are thermalss!!!!!!!!??????????
Though for secondary the high cal pistol is by far and away the best
Yeah
I'll be home in a bit.
yeet!
the thermals feel like cheating a bit.. biotracker good but sound clues and thermal.. mmwah
Nah! Thermal will be something that I will use ALOT
Would be very useful for deaf players to have
i love how there's literally no logs in b2 except for one terminal that has 2
why
Lore
huh
so basically
none of the lifeforms they found (the aliens?) do not come from the same evolutionary tree; a lot of them involved from different environments but there is a common mutation they all share
the artifacts and objects in the fossil have no indication they were made for use by the creatures so its unknown what they were actually used for
the project insight lead researcher and founder, Gallus Hammerstein, made the "Hammerstein collection" which basically showed off the lifeforms they found and shit as they do have a few ones that were alive
An adaptive virus or mutagen?
More virus than mutagen
Hmmm
Wonder what the deal is with this "Mimic" that Schaeffer ran into in the audio logs for Rundown 6?
Just what kind of mutation is it?
He's dead
It was specimen 22
Or unit 22
What ever they wanna fucking call it now
Omg its CoolBeanz
so b2 i could only find two logs
one was talking about biocom (discussing when they were going to implement it, what it does, etc)
the other was a teale and edgar(?) log about how edgar is being put on a paid medical leave because he is seeing shit
there were two b3 logs i could find, one of which was this. Forgot to read the second one.
if you do not have the log then how do you know what you are quoting is accurate?
thats incredibly major information if so
because different kinds of evoloutionary trees imply different species of allens
in control of the meteor
or that the allens were cataloguing life
which if the case, could explain what happened to them and destination as a whole
because I remember the log and wrote what i said whilst I was reading it?
i literally wrote that while reading the log
we need to gather all of the logs we can find from r7
as fast as possible to update the notion and the wiki
it makes it very clear there's several alive specimen that he has
which he wants to put in some sort of museum in order to boost morale
by saying shit like "oh look at what your colleagues found"
WHAT DIDGETS
i dont understand
sheaffer talks about it in A1
he's talking about a1
what in a1
omg
oh
that just is what he tells you to put into a terminal
he doesnt clarify on what it does
commands
feel like we're getting our memory back in this rundown or something
well, if you play the game a whole day non-stop
i forgot people can skip most of the level and go for E1
what did he do
get that checked out homie
ok but. i wonder if theres like a Lore reason as to the physical appearance of our characters... maybe woods is so smooth cus he's faulty gen and hasnt been deployed as often as bishop or hackett LOL
Any snaps of whatever new cosmetics we might've gotten? I haven't gotten to the rundown yet 👀
any1 knows whats that?
Is it me or this rundown is much darker than usual?
It's like pitch fucking darkness everywhere
yeah, i think they reduced the intensity of the lights or something. Really wack.
anyway, if u are on nvidia gpu then try increasing the brightness/gamma from the control panel, that should help a bit
New scifi backpack and armor.
Also new gasmask helmet.
question, if im correct the santonian website is just a vault of logs for the lore, yes?
follow-up, archive007 has an log with some gibberish that to me looks like an image link, but im guessing it isnt and requires decryption?
Is that the one where someone asks whether or not he should deal with it?
yeah
We already decrypted that. Or well... The French did.
what was it?
an employee named howard?
Y
Why aren't you writing to me? What's going on? I miss you terribly. Are they stopping you from talking to me? Are my emails getting through? I'm so worried. Things are bad out here. People infected everywhere. Houston is on full lockdown now - they have patrols out and they're curfewing by address so we can still go to the market - which are empty - once a week. Someone got shot outside Val-U-Plus last week. I don't think I have it but now they're saying the incubation period is unknown so I don't know. I can't go get tested because because I don't know anyone who has gone to a testing center and come back. They're saying they still don't know where it came from but they think maybe Phoenix. I think I have to tell them what we already but then that's me done with SMC and I think they'd try to kill me. Seriously, I wouldn't put anything past them. I don't know who I'd tell anyway? Maybe Jeremy knows someone in the press or something. I can't speak to anyone here because they're all terrified of Davies and his stoolies especially since Clinton's "accident". Please write me back. Please, just anything to let me know you're all right. I would come and get you but everything is closed. I feel so guilty that I encouraged you to go there. Howie
Thanks R.A.F#8723 for that
For the key, according to him : Goldie11 in DES ECB
ah
I don't know how to refference messages on mobile discord so have a copy paste
. . . oh shit, things are not well for the outside world either?
also that next log in the site
thats just sad
oh no wait
im jsut stupid
nvm, thank you
What, the dog?
That was a red herring. The man provided decoding key with that.
Smart, but not smart enough as it seems the corpo noticed.
If the French figured it out then the man stood no chance against kovac.
makes sense
speaking of kovac kds deep is where shit went to even worse shit right?
ive only ever been reading the logs
for the most part its how it used to be. its great! 🙂
feel free to read the "for dummies" log in the pins here
i will also update it once i have all of the logs for r7
no, but it being pitch black is intended
thats why thermals were added
and why super heavy fog was added in levels like b2 and c1
just bring 1 of the two weapons that have thermals or a biotracker and you will be fine
gotcha, thank you
i've exclusively used the PDW in my primary slot to see and move around
certified dummy right here lol
its a life-saver
just keep in mind it is up-to-date with rundown 6.5 lore. as r7 just came out and i haven't personally seen everything, it will take a week or two likely to get it updated
