[@dagobahstudios3662]

They should’ve made Bart’s base explorable by putting it on the edge of the crash zone. It’d be really hard to access because of all the reapers, but very rewarding because you could find lots of resources and pda’s detailing his final days.

I think Bart is the true GOAT here. He didn't have a scanner and figured out that the whole world is infected. He was also able to figure out that they needed to go deeper.

[@nick_zl1_]

Barts voice actor really did his last voice log well, he sounded so at peace.

[@MidanMagistrate]

People rag on Paul too much, and worship Margeurit too much. Both of them had very different views, and neither of them were inherently correct, as Bart says. Paul was playing things safe, perhaps a little too safe. His ideas for survival were sound, but a sound plan never lasts against such an unknown and alien environment. Margeurit was too hot headed and reckless, while she was right about needing the resources from the deep, she was wrong to want to stay down there just for said resources. Paul was very understandably not okay with the idea of going deeper, any normal person in such a situation would want to stay on solid ground. His constant threatening to dock Maida's pay also shows that he was confident in escaping, and that he was fearful of the ramifications that could come his way if he did whatever it took to survive. Meanwhile Maida was too obsessed with beating the environment. She doesn't like Paul for being a corporatist bourgeoisie in her own words, but also holds a very imperialist "Kill anything threatening, and use the resources to kill the next big thing". It's only when Bart reveals they're sick that reality seems to set in for both of them. That they're sick with alien bacteria, and know nothing about it. For once the two are not fighting eachother for power, and their reactions reflect their personalities. Paul is afraid, but trusts his son's intelligence and asks if theres anything he can do to help his son possibly learn more about it, any resource he can scrounge up. But Maida doesn't want to be threatened by it, almost as if the idea of being taken out by an invisible bacterium is insulting to her, so she starts cracking remarks about the absurdity of it and what it could do to them. She doesn't want to be weakened by and lose to such a thing. Really, the writing and characterization of the Dagasi Survivors is incredible.

[@artur6912]

True, in the end it was Marguerite decision that caused the reaper attack. Bart seemed to be the wisesd of them all, despite being the youngest, recognizing that both extremes of Paul and Marguerite will kill them all.

[@TheQuantumParticle]

Highly agree. I bet most of the people hating on Paul have bad experiences/biases towards fathers, which makes them more inclined to blame Paul.

[@isdrakon9802]

​@@TheQuantumParticle part of it is also probably that while Margaret was too aggressive, thats at least progress. You can pull back as necessary if you run into a problem but at least you are moving forward, Paul while being safer means that amy small disruption will throw everything off and you lose progress, which sucks.

[@TheQuantumParticle]

@@isdrakon9802 You could say the same about Marguerite. She brought a REAPER LEVIATHAN to their only refuge. There are so many holes and problems in her plans (if you could even call them that), that if one thing went wrong, everything would fall apart. Like Paul said, It's easier to make a decision in hindsight. Marguerite's "decisions" are more of impulsive actions than anything.

[@isdrakon9802]

@@TheQuantumParticle there is that slight flaw in that the person making the aggressive strategies was a fucking moron. I don't think it needs to be said that bringing the massive animal that could wreck your base, to your base, is a bad idea without hindsight

I never realized just how young Bart sounds. I didn't know this until looking it up, but he was only 19 years old. He sounds so passionate and in awe of everything. All he wanted to do was research and learn. I feel so bad for him. Obviously Paul and Maida as well, but Bart was so level-headed. Being the mature one at a younger age couldn't have been easy, especially with how hot-headed his father and Maida were (or are in Maida's case.) Subnautica's stories are so well written and portrayed. They're all so devastating when you really pay attention to the contents and apply them to real life. Your videos on the survivors are so well done. The attention to detail is astounding, and I can only imagine how long it all took. And to add the first person perspectives with the reconstructed bases and imagery makes it so much more engrossing! Massive respect and very well done!!

[@CryptidRenfri]

Reminds me of the world building in a lot of the Fallout games and piecing together the lives of long dead people through all these little environment and context clues, and sometimes written/spoken log entries. Really makes the whole world feel much more real, and the crushing sadness of everything that's transpired before you much more impactful.

[@dreamiinotdream730]

I will say, I love that the devs went out of their way to create backstories for the victims of the degasi. They didn’t have to. Hell they even could’ve just made these bases belong to other Aurora survivors but they chose to expand on them, make them distinct and even give them flaws. They very well could’ve made it had Paul not been so reluctant and Marguerit wasn’t so reckless. Marguerit was fearless and a talented fighter, Bart was intelligent and Paul had information on their technology that could’ve helped them with finding new equipment and getting them where they needed to go.

[@tobiz1922]

2 things I noticed: Paul saw a light below him so I think he found the lost river and not a squid. He might have been killed by one though. This makes more sense since it's a hint for the player to go deeper. Bart talks about visions getting worse. I don't think Kharaa causes these so it's most likely the sea emperor trying to communicate with him like she does with the player but Bart thinks it's the illness.

[@escaped_cephalopod]

Yea, but, why didn’t she send all of them visions when, y’know, they were all still alive and working together?

[@apossum6231]

@@escaped_cephalopodwell, i kind of always figured that she didn’t trust them. the sea emperor is canonically shy and timid, she has a hard time trusting people because of what happened to her and her babies. why would she attempt to communicate with a hot headed, blinded-by-rage lady and a cowardly and stuck up man? the only person that showed interest in the ecosystem, the virus, and had a good heart was bart. she trusted him. perhaps thats why she asked what we are. not because she doesn’t know what a human is, she has to, she has seen them before. maybe she asked because she was curious “if you swam with the current or against it”

[@Nickco002]

it says in the lore that he goes towards a light, thinking its his sons seaglide, and then it turns out to be a crabsquid

[@waah5901]

@chenath9582 well shes canonically over a thousand years old lol. She talks about the percursers like she was there, that it was the same batch of eggs they were trying to hatch that you have to. The universe has telepathic individuals, it is an established ability held by some. We see the Sea Emperor communicating with Riley no matter where he is on the map, thats targetted telepathy at over 1 and a half kilometres sometimes. Extrapolating and inferring from that data, we can make the reasonable assumption that she has insight into what you're thinking/feeling. I would imagine that she wanted a sentient being that understood her beyond pure comprehension. She wanted to trust her babies to a likeminded soul. If you want more than that then, yeah, we trigger hormonal releases to feel emotions. Sea Emporer has canon enzyme manufacturing abillities, ones she implies she either has command over or understands the inner-workings of to some degree - she mentions in some of her dialogue something like "the aliens foolishly tried to synthesise it" as if it were impossible to synthesise and she knew that and knew why. Understanding beyond estimation at least. If you combine those two things, it isnt a stretch to say she has some kind of untethered connection to the planets ecosystem, that through this she can confirm telepathic readings that you genuinely engage empathy towards her and the planet, and that, in-turn, you are the correct vector of the enzyme knowledge. She was also probably lowkey super deseperate at that point and was largely more willing to trust us than others until that point. I like to imagine the Sea Emporer as the devs attempt at showing the "waking earth" theory. That we are an integral part of a totally interconnected ecosystem, not above it. That, in a cool and weird, fairly philosophical way, we are the planet evolved to observe itself. We are the macroscopic white blood cells of the planetary organism, the sentient caretaking component of an ancient and relatively infinite being. Sea Emperors quite literally take this role in a number of ways. Humans should be the Sea Emperors of Earth, but are too indoctrinated by the Alterra's of our world. That we own all, when simply, we belong.

What surprises me about the first base of the island its the fact that there is a cave system with the gigantic alien portal on it and the degasi crew didn't find that even living there that ammont of time. I don't know if this Is explained because "in gameplay" the island its small but in lore was bigger like the maps and cities of other games like fallout or skyrim. But for me its quite surprising that they found that alien object on the island and don't searched more both over the land and under to see those gigantic floaters.

[@Breathtaker5000]

I think they either didn’t find it (could have been opened up by a landslide after they left), they DID find it, but didn’t make a pda entry for it, or if they did make a pda entry, it might have been destroyed or buried when the first landslide destroyed the base

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

Both Paul and Marguerit were wrong for different reasons. Paul was excessively cautious while Maida was excessively aggressive. They both contributed to the trio's downfall through their bickering and unwillingness to work together off one another's strengths. Maida dragging an unconscious Reaper to the base was just the final shot in a rather long back-and-forth of hostility between them.

Such a shame what happened to the degasi crew. I’m curious to know what would’ve happened if the other 3 members survived. Maybe more input would have led them to discovering the truth of the aliens, reinforcement platform, the sea emperor etc. And to think that Bart (and kind of margeruite) were on the right path to figuring out all the things that ryley eventually did. Also a shame that the aurora destroyed barts final base. Would’ve liked to have seen those pda’s. I wonder what I would’ve been like if the reaper never destroyed their base. What if ryley was part of the degasi crew. There’s so much potential for what if scenarios about this game. I know that Marguerite survives and is in below zero, but I haven’t played it yet, so idk if she mentions the events of the first game, or anything else she has to offer.

I believe it was a Sea Dragon Leviathan that destroyed the deep grand reef base. My reasoning is that Paul had already seen a reaper, he saw the one Marguerit had outside, and he describes it as an alien kraken bigger than a cyclops. Reapers are the same size as a cyclops. He also describes it as having tentacles which makes me think of sea dragons more than the appendages on a reaper. I think the wounded and bleeding reaper she brought back to base lured a Sea Dragon from below for an easy meal.

[@Blitzozs]

it's made extra unfortunate when you consider that both of them were smart and read each side of each situation if they had just stopped arguing so often they might have made it back alive

[@escaped_cephalopod]

There’s a theory that since the Kharaa has increased aggression as a symptom it’s the reason they argued… most of the time lol

[@loganshread6418]

just got into the game and just completed it without recalling finding any of this stuff i’m so obsessed with this game and its lore now thanks for making this

[@Breathtaker5000]

You’re Welcome :)

[@RobertSela]

Incredible effort went into this video. Well done.

[@sparty9938]

great video! surprised on how little subs you have. I wish you could've included Marguerit Maida's story after the events of the first game, maybe in another video?

[@Breathtaker5000]

I plan to make a whole video on her. I was gonna include all of that in this one, but I feel like her BZ story is distinct enough from the DEGASI to warrant its own documentary

[@somedaysasi]

Excellent video, wow!!! Thank you very much for putting it together, as I love the story. Your voiceover is great too, made it so I could listen while I got had my hands busy!

[@Captain_Rex14]

Thanks for putting the lore info together. Listening to them in order in game is alright, but your visuals really bring out the story.

[@VeryBigAustralianIcePlanet]

This is actually amazing the base remakes the story telling is just👌

[@louisebou]

Amazing video! I just finished the game and I had no motivation to go through the logs again to have a better look at the whole story, so this is way better, thank you! I'm just wondering, how did you manage to have the leviathan appear in the grand reef (the 500meter deep zone)? Incredible visuals btw, great job!

[@Breathtaker5000]

I just spawned it in with console commands :)

[@kaiweber1178]

Your videos are very interesting, like I already said earlier. You deserve way more subs fr. Keep up the work!

[@Breathtaker5000]

Glad you like them! :)

[@hitbox_91]

Love the Rimworld background music, if I heard that correctly. 👌 Thanks for putting the story together in the right order!

[@crim-jim6814]

The footage and recreations of the events are so well crafted❤

[@bober-mz2ys]

i sorta expI sorta expectced to have a little bit of what happened to margret, since we know she survived in below zero, and killed that reaper

[@Breathtaker5000]

I’m gonna make a dedicated video on all that

[@AbC-pj2op]

There is fish , then there are bigger fish , then there is the biggest fish, and there is Marguerite

[@escaped_cephalopod]

She’s an honorary leviathan class lifeform

[@Nosekeponer503]

@@escaped_cephalopodLeviathan life class form? She is a Apex class lifeform

[@Trollgernautt]

Personaly I always thought the "kraken" that attacked the 500 depth base was a Seadragon, not a reaper. Paul mentions tentacles, calls it a kraken and reapers are the prey of seadragons, so maybe a fresh one was too much to pass up? And of course ingame mechanics lock creatures on each biome, but in nature animals, even more apex predators, do as they please, so it's not that hard to imagine a seadragon hunting for reapers outside the lava zones. i feel bad for Bart, he was young and such a romantic, kid deserved better. Does anyone know when the Degasi crashed on 4546B? Like how many years/months before the Aurora? I might have missed that information. But the greatest mystery of all to me is why a Mongolian had such a thick Scotish accent... guess we'll never know...

[@sotosgramm1478]

Great video i really enjoyed it, nice editing i would love to see a documentary on the precursor race and all their bases next!

[@calinchefalan5745]

This was a great video, just the outro though, from scary to normal/happy

[@Exploutato]

At this point, I feel Marguerite could fight the gargantuan leviathan and kill it.

[@dreamiinotdream730]

Knowing her? She could do it with nothing but a reaper bone.

[@Kuro00neko]

Marguerite is in the wrong game, she should be in Monster Hunter

[@Z4bra]

This was really good i would never have understanded this without you, thanks

[@StalwartForce]

Nice vid man. Seems like this game is getting alot of new players as well.

[@Kense.Suzuya]

Une vidéo de qualité,on voit clairement que tu prends du temps et du plaisir à les faire

[@wolfattackz187]

25:10 Was it ever confirmed that it was a crab? What if it was the emperor trying to contact them? Bart mentions the "Visions" which I believe to have been from the emperor so it could be possible that is what his father saw?

[@luisfillipebeserra2108]

It was probably the emperor, but Bart thought it must be hallucinations from the disease. If they had gone just a little deeper, they would have found the path to salvation.

[@Johnny-yw3sr]

Amazing work you really took your time and put in all the leg work 👍👍💯

[@Breathtaker5000]

Glad you enjoyed watching it, it was a lot of fun to make :)

[@hireath4295]

It'd be coll if you could repair their bases and use them in game

[@thearkedwolf5754]

“Natural growth rate” Idk about you guys, but each growth bed can hold 16 Marblemelon seeds and 3 melons can fill my entire food and water. The fourth one can be replanted as 4 seeds. Not sure how they can’t survive. They should just get good.

[@SHIVERSHATER2024]

Marguerite is such a badass

Was the Final Base that Bart built ever in the Game? I don't Remember seeing any bases in the safe shallows Edit: It was on the Crash Zone. I'm Stoopid

[@lukedovzik]

No that base never appears in-game

Awesome. Love this game. I might be diving back soon.

[@kewure9132]

my question is, shouldn’t have the crews of the aurora and the degasi known about the mercury 2?

[@Boi_n]

You need to continue the degasi with the survival of meda in below zero

[@thegermanfool8953]

An amazingly put together video!

[@Breathtaker5000]

Thank you :)

[@treybrzezowski3259]

17:00 This 15 second bit of Maida's Dialogue is brought to you by the Monster Hunter community! XD

[@kewure9132]

i remember that quote from the trailer “we shouldn’t have gone so deep”

[@Sniperboss-bf9ux]

The only problem Iv ever had with this story it the degasi crew only really travel down and they never go over to the gun or describe any of the reapers they would have seen

[@GatTheCat]

margeruit sounds like Valkyrie from apex just a lil bit older.

[@niccolofrangione7191]

The dagasi story Is a great piece of storytelling in a videogame

[@itsmefil2670]

honestly why tf didn't they build a base in the safe shallows from the start

[@Breathtaker5000]

Because plot go brrrrr

[@robertpresley1503]

Did they make it to the shallows?

[@sillyguy_5559]

@@robertpresley1503they made it it both the jellyshroom caves and what was there before the aurora crashed (drstroying the base altogether)
