[tiny edge]

stahppppp

[lament gorge]

Sage and Brimstone after their therapy sessions with Deadlock and Fade

[tiny edge]

she got that new aimbot ability with the new arm fr fr

[dreamy summit]

also the fact that Sage is so deadpan at Jett like "Oh i see you're joking hi la ri ous"

[lament gorge]

Finally someone that doesnt hate chamber

[dreamy summit]

Sage being a nerd over Radiance is wholesome af i cannot

[marble roost]

"Be careful KAY/O, I don't know how many times I can bring you back."

Hello???

What does this imply???

[lament gorge]

Yeah fr

[tiny edge]

My boy deserves some kindness

[dreamy summit]

maybe referring to the "Single mom who works two job meme"

[tiny edge]

honestly that could imply the strains a digitalized consciousness puts on the revival process?

[lament gorge]

Maybe sage brought him back when he was first found?

[dreamy summit]

we need the art of Sage chasing Wingman around cus Wingman thought her pu-erh tea cake was trash

[marble roost]

Yo Sage and Deadlock just made me question my life choices

[lament gorge]

Breach was born without arms right?

[tiny edge]

I just know sage mentioning opening up and trust hit chamber in the feels

[lament gorge]

His fear was this after all

People judging and not accepting him

[dreamy summit]

i mean he was a solo act for a long while now, and he can't even trust his omega counterpart, so Chamber be sobbing at night after hearing that

[tiny edge]

[lament gorge]

And "yalancı" (liar)

[tiny edge]

and david quoting that image with " trust cuts both ways" .... hecking sobbing rn

[lament gorge]

How much fade's radiance hurt her fr like 3 agents including herself implied dying would be peaceful for her

[tiny edge]

AND SHE SAYS STYLE AND SUBSTANCE... LIKE U DONT JUST LOOK GOOD U ARE ACTUALLY HECKIN GOOD... WEEPING SHAKING CRYING

[tiny edge]

honestly it could be she is the most in need of a proper trainer for her radiance

[lament gorge]

Yep...

[dreamy summit]

Sage rly said "substance" when she can clearly see that concave ass Chamber be rocking

[tiny edge]

[lament gorge]

But who could help her? Maybe Omen? But still her radiance is not like other radiants

She got the shittest radiance out of the radiance lottery

[tiny edge]

honestly, I think it is him

[lament gorge]

None of the radiants we have seen deals with someones psychology right?

[shut stratus]

Omen and Neon are good candidates in my mind. They both struggle with control, but handle it differently

[lament gorge]

Omen be like "knit. It helps"

[dreamy summit]

imagine being Fade at a young age going like "oh hey i can see dreams, nice- OH MY FUCK IT'S ALL NIGHTMARES"

[tiny edge]

I think Omen and Astra tbh

[shut stratus]

Astra would also be a good option 👀

[tiny edge]

Ok... for that KJ email tho

[lament gorge]

Aw hell nah hazal got her radiance

[dreamy summit]

the radivore duelist theory be looking strong

[shut stratus]

I can't believe one email shot down like half of the Kingdom West theories, lol. But in a good way (for the most part)

[tiny edge]

lemme copy and paste this here because I want to continue from here :
depending on when this jamming device was put in place and later retrieved, this person could have facilitated how Gekko managed to get into Kingdom West undetected
because I kept wondering how the heck could this bright haired dude sneak into the most secure part of the facility

And

[lament gorge]

Ans we know he has no military training he is just a dude

[tiny edge]

the fact that this person used a Jammer... I am thinking what if this person is not an intruder at all?

[shut stratus]

On the plus side, it narrows down our options. Though I am a little like "oh, back to square 1"

[lament gorge]

Tbh one of my crack theories/headcanons is that one of the creatures got away, bonded with gekko, asked for his help and guided him through the base

[tiny edge]

I am currently thinking of Paul. Why? because the last time we got news of him working in Fracture was when he was working in the radar section. If anyone is going to know a lot about signal jammers of any kind, it could be him. he could also do it without any trouble since he already has a high security clearance

[vital mason]

Sage can write write poems

[dreamy summit]

i mean that's sound like Wingman, we did have some emails detailing disturbances and weird sightings around Kingdom West

[tiny edge]

yes but how a little blorbo ran away is one thing, how a whole adult dude got in a very secure place is a bit more complex... and I would not put it past paul to have helped

[dreamy summit]

the lore fandom ain't that big yet and i can already see a tiktok with this voicemail with the bgm of Jacob and the Stones

[vital mason]

Paul good guy? 🥹 💖

[lament gorge]

Both of this ideas can co exist

[dreamy summit]

i mean ... we don't know what Gekko did before becoming a Valorant agent, he could be the person delivering that burger to Paul to signal him to come out and bring him in

[tiny edge]

Always has been

[vital mason]

Hear me out Strawbs

Wolf was the one who jammed it

[lament gorge]

Guys it was agent 8 guys

[tiny edge]

I'm sorry I was not disagreeing with you there lol, my wording could have been better; I meant how Gekko managed to get in undetected remains unsolved for now and that paul is a possible answer to that

[vital mason]

ALSO THE REVIVE ME JETT REFERENCE

IT'S GENIUS

[tiny edge]

You know what...

[lament gorge]

No no I know sgdjdhdh

[vital mason]

I LOVE how they embrace this side of the community

[tiny edge]

would u elaborate best ilum?

[dreamy summit]

i mean how else are you sending a signal in a classified complex that is very possibly isolated from the world?

[vital mason]

I'm just looking for an excuse for him to make a comeback

He could introduce VP to ✨ new horizons ✨

[shut stratus]

I wish, lol

[dreamy summit]

what would that new horizon be, capitalism?

[shut stratus]

I would love to see a frame of what KJ is talking about. I very much hope they tack it on the range board (that hasn't been updated in a while, ye?)

[vital mason]

THE MOON

[dreamy summit]

wait huh?

[vital mason]

a.k.a excuse for the much wanted moon map, you're welcome

[dreamy summit]

i mean ik he's loaded, but is he "new money Lunarian" loaded?

[lament gorge]

Could it be the new agent? I know its copium but idk

[tiny edge]

Also we got that if Omega people have been somewhere they do leave some transdimentional dust behind which is interesting as heck

[dreamy summit]

i mean it's pretty certain to be A24

[vital mason]

Anyways, enough with the copium 😅 I think Strawbs' theory on Paul being the jammer could work wonders. It could also do wonders if it was somebody that was working under Paul's guidance

[lament gorge]

This means we wont get "someone switched places with someone on protocol" plot shdjhdjd

[shut stratus]

Oh yeah! The interdimensional folks leave traces of themselves behind. Interesting...

[analog chasm]

this one is so interesting

[vital mason]

He's a machine though 🤔 I don't get how she couldn't bring him back

[lament gorge]

Do you think astra, yoru and possibly omen leave those behind too?

[shut stratus]

Was the jamming done by a single individual, or by the group working at Landfall trying to hide something they don't want recorded?

[tiny edge]

KJ OPEN YOUR EYES AND SCAN YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S GARAGE IN BRAZIL THEN SIS WHAT IS YOU DOING

[vital mason]

Also there's literally a voiceline where KJ says she had everyone's memory backed up, no? Am I dreaming?

[lament gorge]

Love makes you blind

[dreamy summit]

i feel like this is in a way similar to chemical tracking systems, but maybe using the unique molecular vibrational frequency? I mean people shed dead skins and particulates all the time if you emit nothing then you might as well be a paperweight

[tiny edge]

Not Astra imo when she is astral but Omen and Yoru yeah probably

[vital mason]

@tiny edge dear strawbs I need thine help

[tiny edge]

she did say that yis

[tiny edge]

this is actually also an interesting thing to consider

[vital mason]

And KAY/O's memory would be much easier to reserve, no? What are you impliying Sage...

[tiny edge]

it is more than memory I think she is talking about here, it is his human consciousness. that he is not all robot and maybe dying too many times... well look at omen

[shut stratus]

Ngl with the KJ line, it's a little unclear if she means that as a joke or is serious

[dreamy summit]

so we have Sage using her Resurrection, and a separate revivification system that's utilizing memory backups the latter sounds like some House/Power of X resurrection protocol type beat

[vital mason]

But it does imply that it's possible to have backups of memories

[shut stratus]

Possibly

[dreamy summit]

they literally got immortality but no, we don't bring back the arm

[shut stratus]

I mean, given KAY/O exists, the tech is around there somewhere in some form

[vital mason]

Also, something looking like an hourglass... Do you guys know what else looks like an hourglass?

8️⃣

[tiny edge]

8

[vital mason]

[shut stratus]

8

[tiny edge]

Also do you know who COULD actually have been in LA at the time of project landfall? The person who called Heatwave 94.5 and won two tickets to skysmoke

caller 8

[vital mason]

Also the playercard from the battlepass looked like a kaleidoscope. Wonder if that and the hourglass will be related? A toys agent?

[shut stratus]

Actually, wait

[dreamy summit]

watch it just be tracer

[vital mason]

THEIR VOICE WAS JAMMED TOO

[tiny edge]

I was just about to type that

[vital mason]

Samebrain

[shut stratus]

That could be very related. A kaleidoscope is just a trick of light bending. It could very easily create an hour glass shape. Light based agent?

[vital mason]

Plot twist— what if the voice we heard wasn't really a jam, but they talk like animal crossing characters instead?

[dreamy summit]

A24, Tom Nook the duelist

[vital mason]

Imagine using sunlight to create a powerful lazer or something, would be very cool

[dreamy summit]

pls empress Palpatine was enough

[shut stratus]

Distortion for camouflage

[vital mason]

Join the dark side

[dreamy summit]

i don't nead another death beam coming my way imagine having to face A24's laser, Raze's rocket, Neon's Force Lightning, and Brim just Himeko ulting from fucking Narnia

[vital mason]

When can we expect the next PBE?

[dreamy summit]

i think the last week of September

[viscid fossil]

The other way around himeko is brim ulting

[modern forum]

my favourite

[olive tinsel]

Wait what jamming

Am I missing something?

[olive tinsel]

Ohhh

Bruh

Today has been a blur

Sry

Also the fact that this implies Raze’s head was resting on Kj’s shoulder from behind and watching this with her

The Bind Email, they’re putting the blame on Griffin and co?

[olive tinsel]

Also this jamming

Was it the reason why VP got so close to the portal before triggering the alarm?

[dreamy summit]

seems so, KCORP loves scapegoatting

[shut stratus]

It's so strange that they are though

Like the facility was attacked by a third party. Why blame someone internal?

[tiny edge]

Kingdom seems pretty hush hush when it comes to any security failure. they did the same when Gekko had broken in to steal the blorbos. They covered it up as a red cell training protocol. Here it seems not only they dont know who hit them, they don't want anyone to think it was anything but an accident

[jaunty sage]

Where is he diseappearing

[marble roost]

Sage means the interdimentional drift

[vital mason]

After a map + 2 PBE releases, it's fair I guess ( )

[feral bolt]

Perhaps the board explicitly wants Landfall to stop?

[warm wing]

After listening to new Sage voiceline n voicemail, I have so many questions...apparently she can revive machine, so could she hypothetically revive turrent bot, alarm bot, boom bot, cypher's camera, even rice cooker in hq?

[gritty wing]

@warm wing has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[warm wing]

someone showed up at her door with watery eyes: Sage....the kettle...

and she offered to revive deadlock's arm after she had her machine arms on, say at least abt 3-4 days after dl's arrival, since KJ also need time to build a machine arm, so she could hypothetically revive a an arm that's vaporized at least a few days ago?

so say if Omega agents cranked up the asshole meter to 11 and decided to destroy enemy corpse after deceased Sage still can revive them 100% to pre harm conditions? thats so crazy

[lament gorge]

I think it could be about kay/o having radianite or human soul? Idk

[warm wing]

o yea that make sense

[vital mason]

Btw, interesting how a sole attack on the maw of the interverse was enough to stop Kingdom on their project. Based on previous emails, there were really passionate scientists that were adamant about getting this project done. What happened to them? What happened to the goal of the project, related to Ascent? It feels weird that Kingdom is giving up so easily.

[warm wing]

Given how strong Sage ability is portrayed, its strange that Reyna never really showed particular interest in letting Sage to heal Lucia? Does she know something more?

Maybe Omen case is indeed worst case scenario she and viper try to avoid, but it feels so strange reyna (who cared so much) would live under the same roof with a god-like healer and let it slide without thinking abt it hmm

[feral bolt]

Well, there are these voicelines

"Viper, have you thought about my offer? You don't have to."
"Never, ever, assume you can help me. You can't help me, you can't help them."

Given that Viper is in effect Lucia's doctor, and that she has "been failed" by Sage before, it's possible that she would refuse to let Sage help out

[modern forum]

that part kind of confuses me a little bit because if it's referencing the incident with omen, Viper was part of that project and saw it through, no? I feel like her refusal for Sage's help is also due to pride because Sage couldn't have failed alone, in something she presumably didn't cause

[viscid fossil]

What if her restorative abilities are mending then by manipulating time somehow to undo the injuries cope

[tiny edge]

tbh they were building towards board of directors losing more and more trust in the project over time; First Gekko stealing blorbos and their failure to find him then the Svalbard horror show that already was ringing bells of another everett-linde fiasco, This time the home turf got blown up with a crater left to show for it in the middle of big city and still it was not shut down fully; K-Sec tried and failed to find the leaders of the project which was the ultimate punch to an already failed project tbh
