Happy 11th anniversary (in August), hereâs a loose outline of what was planned had Be Calm continued.
Act III
Red and Ardois go down into the basement of the facility to kill Aodh, who they find out is the mutated operator of a subway train that used to transport workers from the surface to the facility and vice versa. Aodh was exiled from a cult on the surface who were a part of Richardâs backstory, had his throat cut, and was sent into the subway tunnels to die - in the facility, his throat wound mutated into a second mouth. The intermission would have revealed that he was one of the few people in the facility capable of dealing lasting harm to Momus, and the two had it out with each other quite frequently.
Aodh would have offered Red and Ardois another deal: help him kill Momus, and heâd take them to the surface on the subway. This would have culminated in a two-stage boss fight on a moving train, with W H O ultimately sacrificing himself in order to kill Momus for good and allow Red and Ardois to ride up to the surface. The act would end with the surface being revealed in a video update as a post-apocalyptic wasteland, sparsely populated by groups of survivors.
Act IV
Plans for this act were much looser before work on Be Calm was stopped. It would have centered around Red and Ardois meeting up with a group of surface survivors who were searching for survivors from the facility. The group partially consisted of Redâs old work partner/ex, Ardoisâs sibling, and Richardâs older brother. W H Oâs siblings W H Y and H O W would have appeared in this act, and one of Momusâs half-siblings would have been an antagonist seeking revenge for Momusâs death.
ETA: Also, this blog has been cleared of all non-comic posts and will not be updated in the future. It is intended purely as an archive. One update post was erroneously flagged as NSFW and has finally been appealed, so hopefully that will be back up soon. Cheers!
