SoulStorm ARG - Spirit of 1029 - Photo 2 -

Havoc · #**631** 02-09-2017, 06:12 AM

Dude, you guys used a script to find some photographs and it got someone painfully killed, do you really think anything is off limits at this stage?

So did our actions directly cause this, or was it part of the narrative all along? Cuz if you guys just threw it in there that would be really cool.

:

Seems to me that a Vykker is more likely to be a surgeon than a brew developer. And to me it looked like that picture was a mud prepping for surgery - perhaps for eye-stitching - rather than being strapped in a tear extractor.

Fun fact: Coca-Cola was invented as a medication against headaches and was only later produced as a soft drink. Oddworld has plenty of parallels with the real world, so its an interesting thought.

Well, I'm speechless... Harsh stuff.
Ed lost a friend...
"...he never came back. I could hear him screaming all night... helpless. they took him... he was my friend. how did they know?"

I know I'm a bit late on the topics, but do you think in the photo is Ed's friend that he mentioned he lost?

Shivers...

Does anyone think "they" might be testing a tear extractor on this mud? There's a lot of eye related imagery throughout this section of the ARG.

Wouldn't he be upside down like in Exoddus?

The clean image has been uploaded and it is not Ed. The numbers on Eds chest are different from the one on the heart monitor.

Edit; Sorry Xavier, saw your post after I wrote this.

Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the sake of the others v.v,

His sacrifice will not go in vain!

I mean technically we don’t know for sure that they’re dead…

Didn't Ed just "technically" say he lost his friend? Confirming that he is dead? I mean, there's gotta be a reason he said "Aaaarrrggghhhh!" earlier, be weird if the schmuck said that by stabbing his toe or something.

That's what I was thinking as well, in Exoddus, the Tear Extractors were machines that held a mud upside down so the tears can drop thanks to gravity.

Also, the miners for the bones were blind muds, meaning their eyes were stitched and before they were, at one point, abless to see.

Gah, when's the image coming?? xD

I have no idea what you mean... maybe SO1029 can shed some light on what happened later.

That is a fact. Not sure how "fun" it is though

You need to reread my post there bud, I never said it was him, I only asked if the mud in the chair is Ed's friend that he lost

Yeah, your facts are boring, Havoc!

Also, the new pic is great.

I think more clues will come when we solve the grid, not before.

Wow, thank you for putting all that info in the image, you made me more excited, It's going to be awesome seeing the Vykkers involved with this!

You should post all this in the thread about the second image

But MO was retconned, how those theories make sense if the game never existed in this story arc?

Who ever said MO was retconned? Technically the story could still fit after Soulstorm based on what we know at this moment.

I see your point, but i do firmly believe that the races still exists in their ways, the Vykkers are still scientists, stranger is still a bounty hunter steff and so on!
;D so this is an opportunity to make the Vykkers darker and crueler

Scrabaniac · #**655** 02-09-2017, 03:40 PM

Careful about that double posting man

Congrats, dude! Really well put together photo analysis, I loved it

oh man, I love how much detail they were able to cram in there in this image. And you're right, the Vykker's definitely have their hands (claws?) all over this one!

TheManFromMudos · #**657** 02-09-2017, 10:36 PM

I think that, considering OI have shared this on Twitter AND posted an article on their website, it MUST be along the right lines. If so, I'm now even more excited for Soulstorm!

Do you really think MO is worth not being retconned while AE is retconned?

STM · #**659** 02-09-2017, 11:40 PM

But you didn't say that, you said MO has been retconned, statement. For now we don't know, there's been no word from OWI as to whether MO is still canon.

Varrok · #**660** 02-10-2017, 02:43 AM

Yeah, we don't. But do you really think they'd retcon AE and not retcon MO?

AE is retconned.

I can get behind it.
