Lore
I need to know the lore for this map
cole 6 Jun, 2023 @ 9:16pm 
Currently I'm in the process of getting all over the slow scan TV stuff done, some of it's binary and so far I've been able to translate one of them roughly I think it said “my nam5 is prisms” The other one is way too small and blurry for me to even comprehend
I got all of the ones that I could get here

Hopefully somebody can make use of this

After you do the thing with the OmniCutter, make sure you explore everywhere else first before you go to the elevator up to the ground floor, otherwise the AI/consciousness/whatever will leave the OmniCutter and there doesn't seem to be a way to get them communicate and give information again...
...Unless, based on one of the engravings I've seen, there's some sort of alternative outcome relating to the surface

Ive completed the map today and I can say for sure theres plenty of pieces to put together and analyze.

The meat that can be found on lower levels of the facility starting as early as level 3 and the comments Prisms makes when he possesses the OMNI Cutter suggests that this facility mightve been more than just a living complex; more of a research lab with the intention of making machines made both of flesh and metal, and producing clones with a fleshmold that are "optimal for use, perhaps maintenenance work" and "worthy of being substitutes for the creators" (quoted from one of the CCTV's spectrograms found on the map)

There are more things than just that example, especially those Rattman-style drawings that I havent been able to fully understand and interpret. I hope more people will try to figure out the backstory of this beatifully crafted map, because there is more clues to theorize with.

I thought it was just foreshadowing the lore we get told after Fixing the reactor .

Other then the one in the area you need the c4. Which I took as they uploaded themselves somehow.I think that place was terminal 17

On the side near one of the doors, there's a texture which says "GAS". Put it there.

I've gotten past the bulldozer, but now I'm unsure where to go. Advise please. I've explored all I possibly can atm.

Pretty sure I've got to do something with the coolant which I seem to have half-done. One side is full the other is not.

Where is the C4?

Interact with the red valve on a pipe between two coolant tanks in the cooling room.
The C4 is near the omnitool where you start check all sides of the tents.

its a prototype for black mesa 2 in half life 3

Down the '5' elevator (in the 'dwelling'], there appears to just be flesh blocking it, which damages on contact. Presumably, this might have been experimentation going wrong? Either that or degredation prior to it being discovered by [IRO] (was that who they were)

Has anyone actually been able to get an ending? When I went up with the OmniCutter nothing happened. Also, based on the engravings, I feel like their is some sort of alternate ending or choice to make.

What is the_translator?
It seems important but it's broken
