i think the fact that the reserve ran out is part of the reason the bear could escape
me neither bro I litearlly play papa's freezeria in all my chem classes
Looks like a 2
PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) reflects the amount of oxygen gas dissolved in the blood. It primarily measures the effectiveness of the lungs in pulling oxygen into the blood stream from the atmosphere. Elevated pO2 levels are associated with: Increased oxygen levels in the inhaled air.
oh its pressure??
omg did you see the new papas freezeria 2 on steam
i mean
uh
LORE
YOU DIDN'T KNOW?
i got it "legally"
Anyways Dorsey was actually trying to log into steam on the computer so he could download Papa's freezeria 2 that's how this connects to lore
omfg
the bear was violent because he didnt get a perfect order
Stop projecting /j
Back to lore
So what's the consensus on what the Radivores are?
Do we consider them to be 'Radiant', or would something like 'Radianite-mutated' be a better word?
I want to speculate that the purple glow stuff is a part of the Radivore creation process, but that would mean that it's mostly unrelated to Radiance as we think of it
Aight
Different depending on the person i think
I’ve seen several theories
I would say 'radianite-mutated' implies radiance (in most scenarios)
Fair
honestly
i do think that
thats probably the best term for now
cuz they are mutated
and they are related to radianite
Omen, Gekko's creatues, the bear, they're all 'radianite-mutated' but they all also possess radiant attributes
And the lotus
That one was confirmed
lotus?
#dev-q-and-a message
well...
wouldnt the plants be different
i mean
i guess not now that i think about it
See, the point I was trying to make is that there seems to be some fundamental distinction in what we see with your typical Radiant vs the Radivores/Omen/what have you
For Radiants, we know it's specifically because of a radianite reaction that is facilitated because of latent genetics
For Radivores/Omen, it seems that the "radiance" is rather forced onto the victim specimen, seemingly regardless of the underlying genetic factor
You get a similar end result, but by taking different paths to get there
They are different processes, each with their own different systems
Take, for example, how all the Radivores seem to possess a form of hard plating that develops on their backs (mosh is an exception to this, possibly because we know he is a child and so not fully developed?)
How would you force “radiance” on someone though
thats what kingdom wants to know
In the same logic, you can ask 'How do you engineer a plant to become supersized and store energy for a city?'
You would modify their genetics?
Idk maybe it’s just the wording of ‘forcing radiance’
Ah ok so you're trying to say that artificial radiants shouldn't be considered proper radiants
Yeah, essentially this
I am bad at words
lol its okay we all are
I think they should definitely be categorised differently but I would still put them under the umbrella of 'radiant'
Because “regardless of underlying genetic factor” is a weird way of putting it
i mean, omen is much more "radiant" than the radivores
Idk I think it's a pretty accurate and succint way of putting it
Sage had a whole email about how the classifications for radiants are too rigid so
I mean, I don't think that's what they did with Radibear or Gekko's buddies
radiance is a spectrum
“Those who are Radiants, and the extent of there powers, is largely a result of two things. There unique genetic makeup, and how it predisposes them to react, absorb and be affected by an external event or sequence of events that involves Radianite.”
💀 my brother just came into my room and called me a nerd cos i had the valorant cinematic open
i mean i am a nerd
but still
But oh well, this was a stupid argument from me anyway, trying to classify Radiance into neat boxes is not useful
I feel like you just have to modify their genetics or have radianite mutate their genes if you mean
Reply with "FUCK YEAH I'M A NERD"
i mean
"Radiance is a spectrum, be gay, do crimes" Reyna maybe
who says they arent already predisposed to radianite
did everyone who is naturally predisposed become a natural radiant?
Which would mean their genetics have already been unique
Which I guess would mean it was passed down from generation to generation
Would anyone be able to provide a transcription of what Deadlock says in Norweigan when she says "You are unmade!"
just for wiki purposes
nvm found it
I hadn't seen these chemicals mentioned in the teaser! Very interesting...
It makes me think... Gekko's creatured were in the same Purple stuff... If they had stayed there more, would they become more violent?
I think Kingdom's end goal here is to either generate controllable bioweapons or try to manipulate radiance on living beings, humans being their end goal.
This is purely hopium but, if Omen was a part of this experiment somehow, I'd love to get an email from either Sage or Viper about the teased mention to Landfall Lab in LA
(I just want to call it LFHQ at this point 😂)
oh I remember the question I had last night in bed
at the beginning of the cinematic we see a helicopter flying away from the confinement facility from what seems like the front entry... the same direction the drone was heading in the first social media teaser. how come Sova didn't catch that, if the beacon he received was in fact Deadlock's communicator thing? were they in the facility for that long?
Oh yeah, good point
So I assume that means it must have been some time between them and Sova reaching the place
Deadlock was probably in there, unconscious, for several hours - maybe multiple days
As if we needed more evidence that she was a queen
perhaps the bear annihilation cauterised her arm, because otherwise she would have been deadge pretty quickly from all that blood loss. how does that explain the sudden beacon pickup then though?
Iirc, help signals fade after a while. This is the case with blackboxes on airplanes, as they can send signals for only about 60 to 90 days when triggered. This could be the case with Deadlock's activated beacon, meaning Sova has found her a good while after her losing consciousness; or it simply has to do with the facility having the walls of a fortress 😂
I think the latter is a more feasible option here. The team is related to Kingdom, so if something went wrong (which did happen), they'd be deploying teams to check the facility again.
But Sova sees no signs of life as he approaches, so I'm thinking he made it just in time to save Deadlock
but before entering the building anna says power is off for containment too....
I did expect them to be shocked too tbh
since Joe said it was safe to say the lotuses in Nexus are radiant plants I'd say we could say these animals are also radiant. maybe with * like Omen
I still think that purple glow is a portal
I mean, there was still an emergency power system, seeing as some light were still on
It is still weird that that specific thing happened to stay on in the shelter's "emergency mode" though
iirc by the time they got to containment chamber the reserve power system went off
and tbh the reason I am thinking this has something to do with the animal made portal is that the color of it matches 100 percent with the purple wash over both earths in homescreen of Gekko escaping. as if a radianit animal has its own connection to the radianite mesh
I feel like if it did escape through a portal there wouldn’t be damage to glass
And Dorsey doesn’t even say anything about the purple
I am thinking that glass is not broken because it escaped, that glass is broken because an unfortunate scientist was smashed through it
as in the glass was broken after the animal got loose not while it was escaping
I don't think that's phosphorous. Rather, those all look like vital signs. Plus do you see the number/number formal in the measurement? That suggests it's actually a blood pressure reading. I believe these may be the vital signs for our radivore bear
sadlasdk lone scroll down
They didn't mention the PS, only the pO2
Shhh
It's fine
Also when Insendo said pressure with no context I was all "Ah, atmospheric pressure, which is measured in mmHg"
oh i see
But the pressure is distracting us from the internal temperature of this bear being -10C
is it still tracking the bear there?
Seems like we could be doing a separate Radivore page on the wiki with more info like this 
Almost. We just need the radivore term to be confirmed, lol
Hasn't it already?
Jesus fuck
imagine how cold all of geckos buddies must be
I would assume so as everything else is still active
With the buddies I wouldn't be too worried since they might be amphibians or reptiles and could be fine with lower body temps
Not a 100% but I think we were given the clues, especially with this 👀 #lore-and-theories message
We very much should wait for an official spelling. That's my actual hold up
fuck i just realized this means mosh is basically a grenade of liquid nitrogen
I would hate for everyone to think it's radivores then have radovores be released, or something like that
Also changing the name of a wiki page is a huge pain in the ass
True. I don't think we have that much info on them currently, so we can wait for more info
I think they are Deadlock's
The tracker is focused on her signal, and the "temperature" part isn't for the body, but for the environment.
oh ok
But on the left side, a white uniform is visible
So it's Deadlock's
We also see the same big signal after Frøya's death
Also my guess is that she can track both hers and her allies' vitals from the bracelet, hence the buttons at its right side & two titles flashing red after Anna and Frøya's deaths, suggesting they were K.I.A.
You're right! I was just watching the cinematic again, lol
unmade and shattered have their own charms
i like them both
but honestly not more than one another
SHATTERED was my all-time favorite
This comes close to being #1
I've missed cinematics so much
It's also been 6 months since REVELATION, which is just crazy
Time flies by so fast
time flies when there is no lore 
I just noticed this. Could this possibly mean that Dizzy was developed in Svalbard? Or that there are multiple Dizzy's? Or is this vial simply teleported from the lab in LA from which Gekko stole Dizzy?
tbh i don't think it's whatever dizzy shoots at people
the pattern is very different
It seems similar to the purple stuff the radivores are stored in
It doesn't matter what it is because we can't possibly guess what it is, but the fact that it has Dizzy's symbol on it
it could be because dizzy was one of the first
arcane shimmer
I was actually thinking about what the difference between gekko and deadlock, in fact, lies in the fact that Gekko's pet is like and identify with him, while deadlock and the bear that appears in the animation is hostile, so the ability to communicate with the radiation creature if it is actively given by the radiation creature, then that strange tattoo may be more like a contract that will only remain on your body if the radiation creature recognizes you as the master, otherwise it is merely temporary
This is a very interesting look at it. Considering Deadlock now has the voiceline about Gekko that says " he could not make the hard choice; I will" does that mean she felt a connection but did not act on it, because she thought it was wrong maybe I wonder
I am also thinking that it seems like Kingdom has not learned about this bonding process yet
i thought " he could not make the hard choice; I will" meant that she was going to kill them
Combined with the situation yes, it looked like it was going to help gekko kill the critters
I feel like it is also implying that she did make the hard choice when she killed the bear
I'm thinking that the bond alters your judgment, to an extent. Deadlock heard the bear calling out to her, and possibly felt its pain through the bond, but refused to release the bear or act on her impulse to set it free.
Gekko's critters are a different case IMO as they are cute and friendly, so Gekko possibly overlooked the dangers of bonding.
Deadlock's voiceline goes: "[...] Gekko gambles his own life for those creatures. He couldn't make the hard choice. I will."
We don't know how Gekko is "gambling" his life, exactly. Does the bond hurt him? Or is Deadlock possibly referring to Kingdom searching for the creatures?
Also, Deadlock is likely referring to killing the creatures as a "hard choice". The way I see this is that, even though the creature killed her entire crew, the bond was still strong enough to question whether she was making the right choice.
I personally thought “gambling his life” meant that he was putting himself in danger by being around them
I agree with seb here
Gekko is the sort of person to throw his life away ot save his Blorbos
Could also be the long-term side effects of blorbo bonding
Btw, now that we have a better idea of how Gekko's "radiance" came about, I wonder what tipped Sage off that his form of radiance was different 
But would deadlock know about that In the first place?
She wouldn't, that's why it's a gamble
Oh well
because that's what she's said so far
she aims her nanowire at wingman and goes like "you have no idea what they're capable of"
the only danger she's known about them is the fact that they could be really strong and the one she did encounter killed 3 people
Hmm, that's true. Though she did also encounter it going into her mind and influencing her thoughts. After seeing Gekko bonded with his little guys, she could be concerned for him in that regard
I remember a discussion about Yoru's radiance hurting him
Did we have a resource that claimed that or am I just remembering a theory
The bloodline card seems to show Yoru with scars
Not really, other than Omen's voiceline about the "pieces he leaves behind" and the discoloration on his skin

#dev-q-and-a message
I'm taking it as a yes, then 😂
My point is that the same could go for Gekko's radiance
The bond he has with the critters could be physically hurting him
tbh rifts are very volatile and rather unstable environments... we still don't know what the dynamic of the bond between the radivore and its hooman friend is like
That made me imagine Gekko's process of adopting (?) the creatures
What'd he tell his mom
"So yeah I stole these blorbos bc they were cute and now I'm on the wanted list of a megacorp" 
I mean his mom most probably found out when the deed was already done, so might as well take care of the blorbos 
Backreading #lore-and-theories and stumbling across the cypher wire talk made me think
Deadlock calls the spools of thread she uses 'Nanowire'
Which would imply that they are strings or fibres whose thickness is in the order of Nanometers
Ignoring how incredible it is that wires to thin are capable of retaining their integrity even under great tension (insert 'Radianite' meme here'), I want to point out that these things are also gonna be sharp
Imagine it, being caught in a nanowire net is like several taught lines, each so small that it can cut through skin and muscle with ease, all binding themselves around you
The bear should have been cut up to pieces right here
yeah i went down this rabbit hole, and came down to the same conclusion that if "nanowires" are an actual thing, with enough structural integrity to pin down anyone, would have enough strength to sashimi literally anything caught in it
i think a better way to think of it would be ... a transparent blanket?
if we stick to the actual name, the naked eye cannot perceive anything that's at nanoscale, so those blue outline could just be the framework that those wires actually cling to to achieve its desired effects, like hampering movement or pinning something down
