Punishment Bird is excessive retribution. They are the prison-industrial complex basically.

Alternatively Punishing Bird are those public enforcers who use their position to bully the citizens. They walk into a store and knock over a display stand, you clean it up and keep out of their way. They mock you and shove your food onto the floor, you just sit there. They shove you out of the way or whack you with a club, you stay down. They grab what they want and leave without paying, you accept it. You try to fight back...you dare to protest or strike them...the full weight of their wrath comes down, gun comes out.

Hey, I just caught up with the thread and it's an amazing read. Also, with the down time, I just wanted to point out that the Neutral music really reminded me of the track from the Goonies soundtrack titled "Map and Willie" and I am now thinking about the crossover potential

Judgment Bird isn’t even good at being a kangaroo court; the entire point of those is to get rid of people you don’t like and let go people you like, with just enough presentation at not being a kangaroo court for plausible deniability If Judgment Bird ran a kangaroo court, it would immediately declare the accused guilty and execute them on the spot, and then also do so for the protestors, the defendants, the witnesses, the jury, the bailiff, and everyone else in the room. For that matter, while being able to see everywhere and things the regular eye can’t see would be amazing surveillance for a dictatorship, Big Bird would not be the best spy because a good spy doesn’t come into the room of who they’re spying on in a blatant and obvious way and bite their head off.

Day 43: Story Music: Ember    Do you realize this? The ones who were with us at the beginning are nowhere to be found among the people who remain here now. They are all gone. Because of the monitoring of the 'Eye', we couldn’t even give a proper burial to Kali and Daniel… This place here is all we have left. ….…. I wish to be your shadow, forever behind you, even if I am not good enough. May we be together, and fade away together.Music: Strange Dream   I deemed you to be that chick, one that is too fragile to endure all of this. I have never known where it was you wanted to fly to, since you never told me. I was always nothing more than your student who needed your teachings. You were always so frugal with words. The process of creation was too harsh, I could not help but run away. I could have run far enough that I would never see you again, but I did not. I tried to set everything right, and I was caught. Since then, the iron hands that govern me have stopped permanently. In fact, I vaguely knew that the end was nearing. However, I was simply too afraid to face the final outcome, and instead chose to stay here forever and ever. I may have been verbose with my reasons for attempting to stop you, but to be truthful… Nevertheless, I should support your decision.Like everyone else, Hokma gets some static before we see his true form.  Unlike everyone else, he goes through a midway change.   May we embrace glory together, for back then we could not. Grant the proper end to those locked up here, and to yourself. In summary: We remember old times with Benjamin, where he reminds us that Angela isn't and will never be Carmen. In the present, Hokma acknowledges that he was scared to leave our side again, and decides to follow after us like he always has. We aquire The Eye Embracing the Past; Building the Future, and the Seed grows to 80%.  Ah yes, Manager. There is one more thing.Day 43 Story  Really don't understand why you have to go through that every time. I've already heard it once. The script is absolute, Manager. If I didn't follow it, we couldn't proceed properly. I guess that's true… Eighty percent… After so long, it almost doesn't feel real. On a related note, it would be helpful if you could successfully provoke Binah as well. She needs to have a meltdown like the others if we are to proceed. I get that, but… do I have to? You do. Uuuuugh. I just don't get her. She's like… talking to moss. I can't provoke moss. It's just there! Watching me! Nonetheless, this is what you must do, A. I'll give it a shot, but no promises.Next time, on Lobotomy Corporation: Getting rewarded for doing stupid things.    Chiral? Aren't you supposed to be in extraction? Needed a break. The work we do down there is… Eugh. That bad, huh? The only reason the boss can deal with it is because she's gone off the deep end long ago. Which one? Yes.  That leaves me to translate what they're talking about for our clerks, which isn't really all that easy. I'm basically acting manager without anyone paying me extra for it. Oof, that sounds tough. Well, at least you're indispensable? I guess there's that, but that only lasts until I wind up going the same way as them. Mmmaybe a hobby would help? I have a suggestion... This sounds like I'm about to get pulled into a zany scheme. Oh, no, it's nothing like that. Twee and I were talking about finding players for a game yesterday. You wanna join? ...Why not? I'm in. When is it? We were thinking about having the first session tomorrow after work? Just bring snacks... Or beer. Done. See you there.

TeeQueue posted:It's time for a emergency Q&A translation update. Remember how I mentioned there were only 5 abnos that came from outside the facility? That was apparently based on a complete mistranslation of a Q&A Session, text supposedly here: The relevant question is the second one: "Q: Are there any Abnormalities from outside? A: There is one. What 'outside' means is important. It's still difficult to talk about." Wording implies there's only one but could plausibly mean more.

More pressingly I can’t even say for sure if that transcript is accurate or paraphrasing. The main takeaway from that whole shebang is that we don’t know how many came from outside, but it’s between one and all of them.

it's notable out of all the Sephriot, Hokma and Binah from wha we gather from Hod's and Gebura's story is not here because of Carmen. Benjamin followed A, and Binah did try to wipe us out. Everyone else was more or less recruited by Carmen.

She’s going to take one look at how all the other Sephirah snapped and tried ruining everything, note how they all failed miserably, and go “this is how you destroy L-Corp, amateurs” Core suppression is probably either going to be ordeal spam (kill every midnight at once!), mass abnormality breaches (since they didn’t do that with Gebura), or she just tries to kill everyone herself and we either have Tenebrais solo her or just hide in the shelter and wait for White Night and Apocalypse Bird to solve the problem for us.

my guess is, since her department is all about getting new abnos, her ordeal will be unleashing a bunch of abnos not in the corp already, all the ones you skipped at the end of the days, just rampaging, unresearched. maybe specially coded to bring in ones you memory reposited away

GilliamYaeger posted:I was being coy about it earlier because I wasn't sure if the third part of the Head had been mentioned in-story yet and didn't have a good way to double check, but now that the Eye has definitely been brought up I can safely say that Apocalypse Bird is in fact not just a representation of government, but specifically this setting's government - it's a monstrous personification of the Head, formed from the Arbiters as Judgement Bird, the Eye as Big Bird and the Claw as Punishing Bird. And as one can probably surmise from the snippets we've received so far, life on the surface isn't exactly pleasant under their rule. Corp A Corp B Corp C A(rbiter) B(eholder) C(law) A Benjamin Carmen A Binah Hokmah Edit: I just want to say I love project moon's universe; there's a ton of thought into it and being able to get glimpses of it through what we see here in Lobotomy Corp (and eventually its sequel) is amazing.
