One Of My Favorite Screenshots I've Ever Taken!

[guttedeggs]

Resident Evil 7 is on my brain yet again and I can't shake it off, so. Rambling.

There's no solid evidence that Lucas Baker was always some violent, insane murderer. There's evidence he had mental illness and issues, but there isn't evidence that he was anything outside of a successful, smart yet introverted guy. When reading his childhood journal, it's clearly written what happened with his childhood bully. But his fate is a bit up in the air; assuming Zoe did let Oliver out of the attic, and he lived, that's where the rumors of Lucas being a "bad seed" likely started. And what, he was a kid? A kid that locked his bully up in the attic so he'd stop being cruel to him.

[EDIT: I was incorrect here. Oliver does die in the attic, there's an extra note about the smell. That being said, there's still leeway to be had considering 1. Mentally ill child and 2. The fact nobody else heard or looked for Oliver in the house? If a kid is yelling and stomping in an old home and you've been in old homes, it's surprising nobody heard or followed the sound.]

There is evidence of the mold changing the way the brain works PERMANENTLY. Both the body and brain are changed. In madhouse mode, Jack can cut off Ethans leg, then gives him the healing liquid, laughing maniacally and telling Ethan to use it to reattached his leg. [EDIT 2: this isn't just in madhouse mode, it's in every mode but if you're fast enough and dont take too much damage, you can skip the scene entirely.] Something that no normal human can do. Playing the daughters DLC, the change in the family is almost immediate. Jack goes from a caring father and husband to repeatedly shoving his wife's head underwater in a bathtub. Marguerite becomes violent, yelling at her children, calling them ungrateful brats, her temper becoming uncontrollable. Yet before, she was one of the furthest things from it. Gently saying "excuse me Lucas" when getting into the kitchen, reminding Zoe kindly that the change of clothing is in the laundry room.

Assume the mold Evaline uses relies very heavily on the person's worst traits, guilts and feelings. Assume it takes whatever the strongest traits of the person it's controlling and amplifies it in the worst direction tenfold.

Marguerite becomes a broodmother, just a host for bugs, a violent and strict caretaker that's lost all her warmth. Jack becomes the vague idea of a father, "protective" of his family yet violently envious of anyone who might try to question him or disobey his authority. When Mia has bouts the mold taking over, she's intensely violent and self loathing. Unlike Marguerite or Jack, the way she's interacted with the mold has amplified her guilts to control her.

So what's up with Lucas? He's been cured right? Well. Yes and no. Just because he's been cured of Evaline and the molds control doesn't mean the damage has been reversed. Assuming he was resistant like Zoe at first, the mold likely had to work even harder to break him down while preying on his more vulgar tendencies. He's already rude and a little entitled; he also hates to lose. So amplify it. He's a mechanical engineer? It's already a dangerous work, so why not make it more dangerous. He's smart right? Well just boister the ego more. And more. And more. He's so smart, everyone else must be idiots if they can't see that! And if all that damage is already done, the mold has already eaten away at him, and he's cured from the control, that doesn't suddenly revert him back to being just some introverted guy. Add this lack of control onto it; the damage to his brain has been done, he's stuck working for The Connections and now he gets to watch his family spiral into shells of who they were, acting like he's fine and it's all normal. That would drive anyone to grasp to any kind of control possible, it's why the games he makes are so rigged. After he took control of Hoffman in the 21dlc, he didn't expect Clancy to win because he wasn't supposed to win, it wasn't supposed to work that way. It's also why he's so pissed off when Ethan escapes the Birthday room, it's rigged to force you to wind up the clown, to force the barrel of alcohol/oil to spread for when the cake explodes.

He's gone from someone who will problem solve when things go wrong while venting things out in his writing to being a control freak that NEEDS things to go his way. He NEEDS the few things that he has control over to go his way, and if it doesn't? Well then, time to find another way to fix it, to make things go his way.

And when it doesn't? Well he runs. When he loses all the control, he runs. He can't fight Ethan since when Ethan arrives in his office, he's got no way to defend himself. All his protections are gone. He runs. The difference between him and Jack/Marguerite is that the mold isn't impairing his fight or flight reflex. The mold always choses fight. ALWAYS. Without the control, he knows his mortality. With the molds irreversible damage, he's still violent, impulsive and cruel. He wasn't violent, impulsive or cruel because of his mental illness, the mental illness just amplified it.

Anyway. Love analyzing him.

Devil in the Details (DLC edition)

Daughters:

Jack, I've put our guest to bed in the trailer. (I told her she could have the old bedroom, but she insisted…)

Marguerite

Mia trying to isolate herself incase contact with her would expose the Bakers to infection... I think it might have done actually considering how quickly it snowballed in daughters and the infection coming and going in waves (they were fighting it)

To the Baker Family,

Thank you for saving my life. But please forget all about me.

Mia tells Ethan and the Bakers to forget about her. And she forgot herself really

I was assigned to transport some important cargo on that ship. Getting involved with me, or that cargo, can only cause trouble for your family. Big trouble.

Please don't contact the police or state authorities. Just pretend we never met.

few reasons for this warning: one is because the police and state authorities would be woefully unprepared. two the connections would catch up a bit quicker (maybe the connections were monitoring missing persons cases along the route?) and take Evie back or outright kill her and Mia

And… you saved me, so take this advice in return. If you see a girl near the ship who looks about ten years old, DO NOT approach her.

I would have put this sooner to be honest. And another thank you. One good turn deserves another.

If she talks to you, get away as quickly as you can. Just try not to make her angry in the process. If you've been feeling ill at all, then I'm afraid the worst may already have happened.

It's a fate worse than death, and it can't be cured at a hospital. I'm so sorry.

of course the people infected lose all form of self just wanting to please whoever infected them

There is a way to stop it, though. Serum. If you inje stop the symp

as we know from the reports in the salt mine the serum Mia is referring to would not work. But maybe hope would be enough to keep them sane (it was for Zoe the only one to read the letter)

and the ending is because Evie caught up and interfered

Bedroom: (i love the start where Clancy gets told by Margurite that Evie wants him to be her big brother just the big ass ?????)

Jack's Journal fragment (I want to say this diary entry is from 2015 or 2016 we don't know but I think 2016)

Jan. 24 Marguerite's on the warpath again.

I can handle her when she's yelling–it's when she gets all quiet that you gotta watch out. At that point, you say one word and she flies off the handle. Nothing for it but to wait.

as someone who has gotten jumped on by Margurite without hearing her and dying during Ethan must die yeah sounds about right

Margurite is the angry one with a short fuse acknowledgment something

Jan. 28 Goddamn Zoe. All Marguerite did was yell at her some, and Zoe went and pointed a knife at her.

Just pulled it right from the dresser! Who knows where else she may be hiding them.

I better check everything in the house, just in case.

What am I gonna do with that girl? It's like she doesn't appreciate a loving family.

Zoe showing some sign of infection and being scared of her family

hi Evie and her ideal

Not A Hero

Operation "Lurking Fear"

Primary Mission Extract Lucas baker

Location Dulvey, Louisiana, USA Baker estate

Threat Profile ·"Molded": Alpha variant, others ·Anti-personnel traps (lethal and non)

Notes: Due to the lack of intelligence and the number of unknown factors involved, Chris Redfield of the BSAA wll act as a bioweapons specialist on missions.

they have some intelligence (I wonder who they got it from) but not a lot

so they send in the luckiest (and unluckiest if you have to rely on him unless your name is Jill, Claire or Sheva) and most experienced man they have

LOCATION UPDATE:: Recent intel has confirmed that Lucas Baker s holed up in the mines near the Baker estate.

Profile - Lucas Baker: Suspected associate of criminal organization The Connections (role unconfirmed). Holds vital intel regarding said organization.

they need info and Lucas is the best one for it at this point

Profile - The Connections: Criminal organization producing bioweapons for sale on the international black market. Limited intel on size, market share, and members. They are the prime suspects implicated in the production and distribution of the E-Series bioweapon. E-Series model "Eveline" is present and active at the Baker estate. Lucas Baker seems to be monitoring her and reporting on her activities.

Limited: meaning small in amount or number. so they have a small idea of how big the organisation is, how much they're worth (market share meaning: the percentage of the market for a product or service that a company supplies) and how many members it has

prime suspects. Prime meaning most important, suspect to believe something to be probable. to me this reads as the connections not being the only group experimenting the with mold

Letter from Blue Umbrella

For many of you this is your first mission with us, so we wanted to make it clear what Umbrella is all about.

Though many of our staff hail from the infamous pharmaceutical giant Umbrella, our purpose is to make amends for the atrocities perpetrated under the Umbrella name. That is why we re-incorporated as a PMC in 2007.

We will put a stop to not only anyone who is engineering or selling bioweapons, but those who support those efforts as well.

We made a mess and now we have to clean it up. By keeping the Umbrella name, we show that we take responsibility for that mess and we want you to remember that you carry this responsibility with you in every mission

thank you game developers for including Graves Diary and the Scientists dying message in RE3R. Umbrella collapsed in 2004

Eveline Observation Log

E-001 Log - July 22, 2016

Health: Good Mental State: Good Mutamycete Secretion: Normal Other: n/a

Not much change. She just plays with dolls all day. Turned two guys Molded today.

why do these records start in July 2016 when Lucas has been cured since 2015 (lmao that's today I'm writing this)

what change was the writer looking for

bit of normalacy for Evie. those guys were turned into the white molded possibly (i say this because the white molded have more human like heads and have human organs. but it could be either)

E-001 Log - August 12, 2016

Health: Coughing, exhaustion Mental State: Slightly stressed Mutamycete Secretion: More than usual Other: n/a

After playing ball with dad, she started complaining about being tired. Turned one guy into a Fat Molded.

self explanatory

begining of Evie's decline and another moment of normalacy (I wonder what Jack thought of this and I wonder if Margurite was involved at points as well)

it depends on the individual on what turns into what

E-001 Log - August 26, 2016

Health: Bad Mental State: Stressed Mutamycete Secretion: High Other: Sudden aging

She's aging all of a sudden: losing weight, hair falling out, the works. The more she screams, the more she vomits. Basement's heavily contaminated. No apparent cause for the aging. Gonna ask for further instructions

poor Evie.

the basement in the main house obviously and then got moved to the proper lab in the mines

E-001 Log - September 9, 2016

Health: Weak but stable Mental State: Delusional, incoherent Mutamycete Secretion: Stable Other: n/a

Aging has slowed, seems pretty stable. Got the E-Necrotoxin from the company. Orders are to use it "if she gets out of control." And I thought I was the funny one.

the connections have no desire to salvage Evie after they got her data from an entirely new environment (not quite real world but close enough) Lucas wants to keep going until she dies (?)

Researchers Journal

June 11, 2017 I'm sick of this guy Lucas. They just gave him my job as lead researcher.

Who do they think I am? Why do I - a Stanford graduate with a master's in microbiology - have to work under this lunatic? All he does is mess around with the test subjects-making them all fight each other and doing unnecessary autopsies. He's sick. He knows nothing about the E-series mutamycete's potential. I'm going to report his behavior at the next meeting with HQ.

that makes the time frame interesting as he was in charge for a month (ish)

what the fuck did Lucas do to get promoted to lead reseacher?

Lucas is a little like Alex Wesker and that is not a compliment

as for the potential Lucas wants to see how far it can go we don't know anything about these guys

Lucas Journal

I killed off all the Connections' researchers.

They were poking around where they weren't supposed to when I wasn't looking, but I knew exactly what they were up to. Probably didn't like having to report to me.

So, I thew them in a cage with some Molded. They shit their pants and begged for their lives. I'm just worried I won't be able to hold back from laughing when I make the report that they met with an unfortunate accident.

Probably a good time now to cut ties with The Connections. I'm the only one who can really make good use of Eveline's mold.

I wonder what exactly the other researchers were looking for

considering Lucas is aware of our movements as Ethan and as Chris (turning all the traps in the green shutter)

Lucas is terrible

What was his exit strategy? And here it is the reason why he betrayed them in the first place

Email Log:

Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2017 10:22 AM

Things got a little out of hand, but I took care of it. I'm sending the E data now. It shouldn't take long.

After it goes through, I'm outta hetw;j

Umbrella and Chris

I wonder if he was planning on destroying the lab

Note on the Wall

Buyer for E data? → Got one -Get set up for transmission

still don't know who he was talking to

End of Zoe

Orders are as follows, effective immediately:

The mutamycete is on the loose in the swamp, and it'll keep mutating as it encounters new organisms. We can't allow the stock of medicine compounds to be exposed-if they suffer a mutation they'll be useless.

Transfer the whole anti-infective synthesizing station over to the paddle boat.

these are a bit better then what the connections were dealing with but still able to become useless if not careful

Analysis Report

We've finished analyzing the tissue samples believed to be from Jack Baker.

The cells exhibit an extraordinary resilience to physical and chemical damage; the E-Series mutamycete secretes a telomerase-like enzyme through the cell wall, causing abnormal activation of the ERK pathway to achieve forced cell division-quickly regenerating damaged tissue.

However, the repeated cell division quickly leads to breakdown in the intercellular structure, leading to the sloughing, slurry-like effect we've observed in the collected tissue samples. Our working hypothesis puts this down to the cells reaching their Hayflick limit.

Note that the samples from the other family members (the wife Marguerite, the son Lucas, and the daughter Zoe) do not exhibit the same extreme regenerative properties. The symptoms may differ from subject to subject. Further study required.

The Hayflick Limit is a real thing

how did they get the samples? what are the samples with Lucas and Marguerite its obvious as they're both dead. But what did they get from Zoe just some hair and/or dead skin? probably it had to be something of a size to be able to test how it regenerates and how can they tell what is regenerating? I wonder what else they learn from Zoe after she gets checked up? (did they take samples from Mia and Ethan? probably. I wonder what they found)

confirmation of what we know (report in salt mine)
