    5:43 Had a strange incident today. I was monitoring the low-band frequencies - the stuff normally used by outdated equipment, when I came across a very strange repeating message. It was in English, but it was very difficult to make out due to all the static. It stopped broadcasting after about an hour, but I made out a few phrases: *"You would not believe your eyes"* *"if ten million fireflies"* and *"It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep."* The only other thing I picked up was what I assume to be a call sign: *"G-T-F-O."* I'm going to send these phrases over to translation in Washington as soon as possible.

    The alternate reality radio broadcast theory kind of reminds me of the game Bioshock Infinite where the people get snippets from other realities through so called "tears". One of the tears, when listened to, plays Fortunate Son by CCR.

    Maybe the Yao-Gui got in there via a tunnel that was made during the initial bombing (the caved-in area) and made its home in the bunker like that. Shortly before you get there though the tunnel collapses and traps the Yao-Gui in there with whatever food it had stored.
    As for the skeleton on the surface, I think that it's supposed to be a sort of guard for the area. He radios if things go wrong or something happens at the bunker, while the guy in the bunker scans the radio broadcasts.

      That's what I though as well. It would make more sense. I mean I've guarded dumber shit in my life. My running theory is that the knocking was the guard pounding on the door when he recieved news of the initial bombs falling. I'm just gonna write his body being over six feet away from the door off as a side effect of Bethesda's wonky ass ragdoll physics

      @@andrewshepherd1537 The shockwave from the blast, probably knocked him around in there. The protectron was behind one of the walls, and was safe from the fallout. When the blast cleared, the protectron moved his body into that chair, believing he just needs to rest. And it just stood there, waiting for medics to come retrieve the guard for over 200 years. Possibly thought that the Sole Survivor was a spy.

    My theory: he got really lonely and used that shot glass you saw by his corps to get absolutely wasted. His lonely, drunk brain made it all up, and he sent an empty recording to DC.
    All the bottles were buried beneath all that rubble near his corpse.
    The man at the top was just there to guard the entrance and discourage locals from snooping around. Perhaps he panicked when the bombs started falling and activated the Protectrons.

    • @tichepotato7992
      @tichepotato7992 7 лет назад +22

      I've always seen it as Eldritch Horror. I imagine it was a combination of a more vulnerable mental state due to the isolation, and something much like Kremvh or Ul-Qualtoth in close-ish proximity, with the banging representing the entity attempting to get inside his head.

Your approach to showcasing all the lore in Fallout is impeccable and professional. For the longest time, I watched ShoddyCast for all the lore, thinking I knew it all.

    Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but Jonas Renkse is the name of the songwriter and I think is the lead vocalist. So if your theory of there being an alternate universe connection it may have been because Sgt. J.P. Renske was a descendant. In one of my playthroughs I heard something breathing heavily in the elevator. This was after I came back up from reading that terminal.

    I like to think that it really is a connection to our world, but also an easteregg. They created the soldier in his special situation to explain his experience within "logic" and "reason" (isolation causing hallucinations, because of his found), but also tapped into the supernatural world to connect the song to the FO universe (opening to our universe and poltergeist activity). Maybe one of the developer liked the music and decided to have some fun?

      @AA-bz1pr 4 года назад +6

      They did make transitors but they were made just a few years before the war, around 2060 I think, but because they were mainly focused on war equipment, very little were made, meaning that they were also incredibly expensive. Fallout 76 has colour TVs but Fallout 76 is set in 2100 or something. Bethesda didnt really give one about their lore, as long as it was fairly understandable, it didnt matter if it made no sense

      Think it through though, without transistors, much of the tech canonical to the original Fallout and Fallout 2 would be literally impossible.
      Much as they wanted to set up a pre transistor themed alternate world, it really stretched the premise to an extreme.
      Bethesda including transistors later into the timeline makes much of the world far more believable. With it having limited commercial use, "military grade circuitry" scrap item giving the impression they were either restricted or extremely expensive and rarely found outside the military.

      There's one skeleton, sat the front desk. It's possible he intercepted a Vault-Tec communication, talking in code for everyone to prepare and they didn't want any risks since he sent the data to Washington. Insiders erased the data and they immediately tried to kill him, they couldn't get down there (the banging) so told him he was going to be relieved. The day they came, he sat the front desk and got a bullet in the forehead instead.

  • @Ferdawoon
    @Ferdawoon 5 лет назад +6

    As much as I think your band-reference makes sense, when I first encountered this, I had several different ideas coming to my mind.
    1: This is a small-scale Vault experiment. Similar to the vault with 1 person and all the dolls. They are using the Soldier to test human reaction when exposed to lack of human interaction and also a kind of sensory depravation. The person sitting upstairs is there to monitor and take notes. After a while (messages say he's been in there for months) his brain just starts to trigger sounds. I think a lot of people who have been home alone in an unfamiliar place can agree that a lot of wierd sounds happen all the time that our brain filters out. Which leads into 2.
    2: This is a reference to the many kinds of creepy-pasta stories floating around online. I'm thinking especially of "Gateway of the Mind" where the story says they severed all the nerveendings of a person to see if deafening all senses made the patient access some other dimension. At first he just started hallucinating, saying he saw his dead grandparents etc. Then that he saw demons and after a while craved any sort of sensory reactoin to deafen the voices in his head.
    3: People who float in those sensory depravation tanks (complete darkness, soundproof, warm saltwater that makes you kinda float so you are not resting on hard floor) start to hallucinate and hear voices.
    In short, I guessed the voices were just from sensory depravation.
    4: The tape with no sounds on it kinda confirms to me that this is in his head alone. I'm pondering if the tape is a reference to Contact, where Judie Foster travels through the transportation device and instantly falls out the other side. All her recordings are just static, but they are about 18 hours of static when she on earth just fell through the machine in seconds. But no mention that there is some temporal anomalies going on so, scrap that idea.
    But my first thought, and the one I felt made most sense was
    5: As you say there is no date on these entries. My first thought was that when he heard the voices he tapped into a band where the Chinese (or whoever else started the attack. I just came here from your "Who shot First" video so, for all we know this was from the Zetans) were talking and not knowing it was chinese his mind associated the sounds to the words he then reported. There are the classic cases of concerned citizens against metal music thinking if you play music backwards you can hear praise to Satan. Hearing a foreign language and hisshearing is not out of the question). After the voices comes the banging on the door, which is the person outside trying to get inside to get out of the blast, or regular people trying to get out. The bear then drags the people to its cave and so we find the bones there. I'm wondering about the responses from military command though but I guess it could have gone to the Enclave or CIT or NORAD bunker or whatever bombshelter.

    maybe just maybe what he picked up was a pirate radio broadcast done by one of the crew of the FMS Northern Star. Sweden, Norway, i would say its close enough that a norwegian saylor listens to a swedish band and set up an impromptu pirate radio station so that he and his fellow sailors can listen to it on the radio.
    or maybe he stumbled upon a secret transmission frequency on which the only the background noise from the sailors radio got through
    if the cargo of the ship actually was something the government ordered and wanted to keep secret it is entirely possible that they went full gaslighting him to make him doubt his own mind and forget about the top secret broadcast he picked up. and because he informed the government of him picking up the signal they immediately swiched frequency thus nothing else was there when he kept listening.
