My parole officer has told me im not allowed to like any more posts for another 7 minutes, sorry!
So, okay. If we know the ARG isnt canon to the actual lore and story, does that rule out Ghost being -NULL-?
There is (presumably) a Dreamer still trapped in one of the W/ARE simulations, maybe this Dreamer assumes a similar role and motive as -NULL-, they would still fit the name âGhostâ as we see it.
Could be a completely new character with no connection to previous events, but then we probably have a whole origin story to uncover somewhere.
The only other âGhostâ that comes to mind is Elizabeth Leighton since she got Yamchaâd in season 2 and is a literal ghost now.
I still like to think that it is the Null from NMS, attempting to make his escape from a simulation.
Because if it is, and heâs able to successfully break out, what would be stopping us from breaking in and rescuing Emily, or anyone else for that matter?
(I get it that this will likely not be the case, I just like to dream, okay?)
Emily never existed in the NMS world - she existed in ours. If Emily somehow survived, and is now trapped, it is our world sheâs trapped in.
Null, on the other hand, only exists within the creation of the Atlas - the NMS world. It may be that Null seeks to break into another plane of existence, thereby escaping the destruction of the Atlas.
To free Null, we would have to break into another reality - but whatâs left of Emily is already here.
Ghosts email is Null, itâs between two <> brackets, like the architects email is.
It just means its not visible, but also doubles as yet another reference to NMS and maybe possibly villain coats Ghost for us in a nice visual shorthand, or thatâs what theyâd like us to think for now.
I donât think this means Ghost IS null. Just their email is extremely classified⌠Ghost could be Dubois or perhaps someone working for Dubois. Black Ops stuff.
Agreed. Iâm by no means married to the âGhost is Nullâ theory, weâre probably a handful of clues away to point a finger at Ghostâs ID with any confidence.
I do think my âArchitect is Duboisâ ramble has some legs to stand on at the very least, with what little info we have currently.
After todayâs emails, i think i need to concede that @the_architect isnt Dubois, and may be a character we havent met yet.
Ghost, on the other hand, I think does have some pertinent knowledge about what Emily is and is capable of.
If Architect sent the WoL packet, that implies that the Atlas Foundation lost possession of Emily sometime between 2018 and now. Ghost may have known where to send Architect to retrieve Emilyâs physical body(pc case or whatever shes in), and Architect now has her somewhere else trying to crack her open
I forgot they were both in highschool in the 2000âs so theyâre definitely not older or Senior employees at the time of Waking Titan.
However, architect mentions they have spent a large part of their life working on thisâŚ
If say, theyâve been trying to revive Emily since her sacrifice in 2018, 8 years is a considerable part of ones life, especially if they were in highschool in the mid to late 2000âs.
Ghost and Architect have also not seen each other in person since 2013, a common thing when friends from highschool go off to college or start working professional lives, the times together become fewer and farther in between. Your fondest memories together stay tied to those times you shared in school or shortly thereafter.
If Emily has to do with these reality glitches as stated in todayâs email, how does that work? As far as i know she can manipulate the universes she can simulate, but not our real, totally real, totally NOT a simulation, reality. Right? âŚRight???
