Neon ballin
So the new agent has been delivered to the HQ by Omen, on top of that Hourglass is actually pissed off at the VP
the phoenix vl is interesting but ppl were saying to be cautious of.it
whether it was actually datamined or generated
We don’t know yet
two cards have lore implications, Sage on her way to get Omen to return and the phone of some other hourglass assassin showing the primary targets of the hourglass
wait really? I thought they were included in game files? if not I will remove them
That’s the point
We don’t even know if they’re from the files or AI generated
Sova being on the hit list now I have to hope he will appear again
I think what I can't get is that why would an account post AI generated stuff which will easily be proven wrong in a few days?
that would just destroy their credibility
Maybe they didnt know it was ai generated as well?
I mean, hoax and misunderstood leaks/news happened before, i remembered the valorant mobile news that went super viral then it was found out that it was a completely different app for mobile phone
Idk though, just speculating
I doubt it is AI generated mainly because they have a lot of emotion which a lot of AI voiceovers lack
the AI ones are more monotone
true
I think that’s on every Hourglass assassin’s phone after RECKONING
In that case
True ig
smoker with ??? Reassurection??
yeah ik I'm just hoping it means we get to see him more
Ye
The thing is I dont know what Cypher, Sova, Phoenix, KJ voicelines are for... voicemails? in game voicelines like how Chamber had ones before introducing Neon?
probably the second option
Chamber used to have voicelines like " zippy jett needs some competition,no?" or telling Sage that the new recruit is a bit prickly
in preparation to recruiting Neon
Is there any other source posting the same kj cypher sova phoenix voiceline?
True tho
or telling Viper to pack something light going to manilla
Ye these
Ye they were removed after Neon was released
Yes, backread #lore-and-theories
it is possible I mean Sage is on her way to bring omen back, it is possible that it leads VP to a new location
No thats sage
Vertical/multilayer map???
Lmao i thought that was omen toooooo
squints
This is Sage
oh yes its her.pony tail
Prolly more like underground map
I thought it was his cape
underground with LEVELS?
And big vertical zips???
also if we see sage fucking
Swinging across the gorge
excited
Just one thing, this might not be a place directly on the map, a lot of map teasers show the general location rather than the exact place the map occurs... we can see this is teasers for Fracture, Breeze, etc
Ye
aw oh right
Breeze, Fracture and Pearl teasers for reference:

You can put in Icebox’s teaser as well
yes Sunset too
Golden Hour card is Sunset's teaser
Yerp
Alrighty
But also, about Omen and Sage
She implies that she doesn't know that much of his pain
Would that mean she hadn't been the one to resurrect him originally?
Or, at least, she did not have a part to play in the giant question mark of the timeline that exists between [Viper bugzapped Omen] and [The VP gets formed and Omenified Omen joins]
But then, why does Viper harbor so much hatred for her?
And what is this card supposed to represent?
Ok so the voicelines we got are in fact voicelines for match start
maybe sage had to do so without question?
My guess here is that Viper's voiceline towards Reyna about fighting to save a loved one is probably to key to figuring that out. I am thinking the attack on Viper's life was the last step to stop her from researching radianite, what I suspect is that prior to that they had made an attempt on the life of a loved one as a threat to force her to stop. She did not stop so they went directly for her life. Sage, imo could have been Viper's last resort to save her loved one. She could have failed to do so, leaving Viper with basically nothing to lose now.
oh also lemme update the top post

Oooo
ONE IMPORTANT POINT ABOUT KILLJOY'S COMMENT ON A25's FASHION SENSE
LISTEN
WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION YOU EITHER GET CHAMBER'S SEAL OF APPROVAL OR YOU DON'T
I DONT MAKE THE RULES
idk why I typed that all in caps
also can i say
OH I WAS ABT TO SAY THAT
WHAT DOES KILLJOY KNOW ABT FASHION
damn ugly yellow puff jacket with math symbols
i would be more sure if astra or reyna said it like
dk what chamber knows abt fashion since he's also just in nice expensive clothing vs having a knack for fashion
but at least he's from france so we can Imagine but kj with her ??????? green beanie and leggings and
what is the fucking weather
I agree Astra's vibe is very much in line with someone who has great taste, and she looks great herself
RIGHT u see it too
im interested what cypher means by body bag
do the agents butterfly eat the corpse .
oh i am so interested in this controller now, especially after phoenix's line
What do you mean agent 25 can self resurect ?
that might not be exactly how it works
the effect will probably be similar but I doubt it is the same as phoenix' mechanism. I am very curious to know how it will work
oh yeah that could be fun
Actually! That make sense!
Imagine the life cycle of a butterfly
Caterpillar into pupa into a butterfly
This empty body bag is a metaphor for the empty pupa once the caterpillar became a butterfly and flew away
hm
Btw an alternate name for pupa is chrysalis, which also happens to be the name of the teaser card
so your guess would be that the butterflies she controls are the people she's wasted
because Cypher's referring to the hourglass people and then their empty body bag
Not exactly but the butterflies definitely does something to the enemy's bodies or her own body
I think it'd be cool if it consumed the enemies bodies
posting it here as well:
The card " underneath it all is bringing up multiple points in my mind:
- One thing is the building Sage is going in might not be the headquarters of hourglass right now, but it seems like it was one of their main sites historically. whether it is in use right now or not is not clear. it looks like a very old structure built inside a cave.
- another thing is that Hourglass faction is likely older than 500 years old, We will be able to have a better judgement of their history once we get to know the architecture of this new structure.
- Another point is that the hourglass faction seems to have always been inclined to do things secretly otherwise why build such a structure in a hard to reach location and in a deep cave?
Ok, honestly, I didn’t care that much about the new story direction riot was going for. They just keep adding more organisations like they are cookies Alr. However this new card underneath it all has me suddenly very interested again. I just love ancient organisation that might have shaped history as we know it.
