Y'know what the most fucked up abt the whole B111-1 detail is to me? Its a god damn coin flip if it implies some seriously heavy details abt her character and just general morals or if it means absolutely nothing. If it's meant to imply that she was the person who volunteered for the memory transferal trial then it'd not only further showcase that she's fully aware of the duplicant situation, but it'd also imply that she's Been aware of Nikola's fun lil project even if only on a surface level. It could also just be that they stole her dna too and she doesn't know shit. As much as I want to argue that it'd make more sense for it to be the latter due to the fact that she's the Only character to have that fun dash number situation in Any of the logs and it's only in the one we can presume to be quite late in the timeline, I can't deny that it could just as easily be an error or meant to imply smth else. In particular, there's a lot of oni logs that had mistakes and inconsistent details that had to be fixed later, so while I dont actually believe it was a mistake, I can't fully deny the possibility. Nails waking up and deciding to write a log that would redefine so much of what we know if they talked abt it in even 2% more detail

#rat rambles #oni posting #ofc knowing who thay first human trial was done on is the most important to me personally but like also #theres so much juicy duplicant worldbuilding thats Almost talked abt and Kinda implied #I dont talk abt the dupes from a lore perspective very often but they are genuinely tragic to me #and it's not even my typical ooo identity bullshit thing because well. they probably don't even know What they are #its more so how just generally fucked up they are genetically #like they Are humans like obviously they're literally clones but so much work was put into making them not humans #physical cuts to make them easier to mass produce is just the start of it clearly a lot of work was put into taking away their free will #they also likely heavily rely on their cranial chips to navigate as thats likely how the printing pod communicates with them #remember its pitch black underground and while I do hc that they were altered to have somewhat better night vision that doesnt mean a whole #lot when theres like actually no light in your environment because you're trapped underground #and in general I imagine dupes have worse eyesight partially as a consequence of the better night vision #their brain chips act pretty much entirely as recievers for commands and information from their printing pod #due to the ability for artificial memories to be imprinted a lot of space was able to be relocated to other functions in the chips #but they hadnt actually managed to get that many memory blueprints onto the pods outside of some bare bones basics #aka basic language and survival information #as such your average newly printed dupe will only naturally know how to build and do certain things #some do know more than others tho as some other memory maps did make it in but not as a built in part of all prints #hense why some duplicants start with skill tree skills unlocked already #and thats also my bullshit explanation for the skill unlock animation #anyways I often times think abt how olivia eventually goes into sleep mode and how gameplay wise that doesn't mean anything but in universe #it'd probably have some pretty gnarly consequences including the dupes likely not receiving further signals and commands #they in theory could probably still manually acess the database of their printing pod in the case of emergencies #but given that they tend to see their printing pod as a maternal figure thats kind of like their mom going into a coma #olivia is not beating the deadbeat mom allegations smh
