Those are workers, but however there are skeletons that are not interactable through the yard that I believe were kids. Very small skeletons. One can be found under a leaf near the rock walls by the grill. Another is in the red ant hill. And these have airways been around, but just since full release like the worker bodies.

[@moawik4864]

There are 3 skeletons in the anthill, if you loot all of them it gives you all 3 parts of the rotten bee armor, so im guessing thats either 1 kid ripped apart by ants... or 3 sharing the armor (would have to go check if each skeleton has a skull to know for sure... but both options are not very "nice"

[@xxthexgnxmythxx9761]

@@moawik4864 oof... Never thought of that, I'll have to look again. I know in a deep area through a hole u can drop to or another way there is bones near eggs I believe, and their is a skull and a little more up on a little ledge. Also this skull is really small, maybe even smaller than our characters, definitely not a worker

[@ghostslayer1981]

Yes, the kids are indeed deceased. Ignoring all the worker bodies (1 in Haze Lab. 1 in Pond Lab, 1 in BBQ Spill, 1 in Sandbox, 1 next to the Hedge, off to the side of where you climb up, and 1 I forget where exactly), theres at least 4 tiny, kid sized skeletons lying around, albiet in pieces from the likely lengthened decay or manner of death for them. There is 1 under a red leaf near Upper Yard, 3 separate ones that wield rotten Bee armor in the red ant hill, and then a few more scattered around. Im honestly more surprised that the kids dont make any comments on the adult or kid skeletons. I feel like there should've been a side quest/s to find where a strange SCAB signal is coming from, and when you came across the corpse, the teens would say a unique line about them. Or at least the first time you find an adult and kid skeleton they say something.

[@mybrotherkeepscommentingimsrry]

Wrong skeleton size does not matter. And the intern's notebook was actually written in by one of the kids.

[@mybrotherkeepscommentingimsrry]

I can prove it if you'd like

[@ghostslayer1981]

@@mybrotherkeepscommentingimsrry yes it does? You telling me the fact the skeletons that are still fully together compared to the obviously smaller, fallen apart ones don't matter?

[@mybrotherkeepscommentingimsrry]

@@ghostslayer1981 okay so I made a mistake in my other replies referencing the intern badge when it was the compliance badge, but no it doesn't because for starters there were more people in the yard besides the omminent workers and the kids. Like I said pay attention to the notes because according to the notes the one of the dead bodies you rummage through that you said to be an adult is actually one of the kids which is alluled to in the notes as one is described carrying bags and sharpening pencils. And the remains weren't smaller either.

[@ghostslayer1981]

@lola he's an intern for one. I remember him. He's the guy who went kooky after the leader died in the Haze and went to be with the ants. But isn't his corpse with those ants? And if they weren't, I highly doubt Ominet would just hire a teenage intern for the shady kind of work they were doing. I could be wrong, and he was a fellow teen who met an unfortunate fate, but his skeleton is the same size as the other CLEARLY adult skeletons. My second point is that the skeletons there are less decomposed as the other skeletons, the smaller ones. Ominet sent that team to look for Wendell Tully if you read the notes. They all ended up perishing before doing so. Wendell vanished after the kids from the carton (and possibly more) were already being trapped in the yard. If you were to argue it was before, seeing as he does mention them if you confront Director Schemtor, that was because he knew by that point by spying on Ominet with the cameras. He knew they were disposing of them in the yard. He just didn't help as he didn't see how he could, and he was scared of Om. The point is that the team couldn't have been there that long, seeing as the skeleton is still whole. The smaller, broken up ones have been there longer and match the size of our own characters' bones. If you compare the teen to the skeletons, you'll see the adult ones you find are much larger.

[@MOSTWOKE]

I love how dark this game could be like there is a possible 5th kid that lived in the yard before you and you can find abandoned lean tos and desecrated sites of bug corpses Edit: does anyone know who the missing kids on the milk carton are like were they failed experiments

just makes it make more sense to be honest. After all, the "raisining" problem discussed in the game, is that shrinking makes you age much quicker. as in, decades in months, quicker.

[@LyricClock-fo8he]

The one that was crushed by the rock is technically inaccurate because to shrink a human you would need to ding a way to decrease the space in and between atoms so therefore the teens would stay the same they would just get smaller so the person crushed by the charcoal could just lift it off of them
