some hermatrix things i wanna talk about :p (heavy spoiler warning)
okay so the first one is the website itself. when you input the code (#FFFFFF8), and then click the terminal button in the upper left, you can type in guest:GOATMAN! and gain access to things
when you type in help, theres a list of commands that pops up
several of them have <string> after them, and to my knowledge, whatever that means has not yet been discovered
the two most interesting ones that can be currently accessed are archive and hostname
when you type in hostname, it brings up a message that says Grumbot_SuperComputer, which pretty much confirms that grumbot is the one behind this
when you type in archive, it takes you to a screen that says the following
<Grumbot.terminal> Loading hermatrix 1.4 log book
<Entry 1_Operator77_Goatman> /weblink/hermatrix.html uploaded
<Entry 2_Grumbot.terminal> /weblink/hermatrix.net initiate
<Entry 3_Operator77_Goatman> /programs/hc-8_van_journey.sim initiate
<Entry 4_Operator77_Goatman> /clues/spawner_QR.exe initiate
<Entry 5_Operator77_Goatman> /clues/#FFFFFF8.paste initiate
<Entry 6_Grumbot.terminal> /clues/coordinates_1534_21_-266.html initiate
<Entry 7_Grumbot.terminal> /weblink/hermatrix.net Terminal access granted
several interesting things about this
1. doc is clearly helping grumbot with this, since he’s a registered operator in the system
2. ren is mentioned nowhere. does he not know whats going on? is doc playing dumb or does he actually not remember?
3. hc-8_van_journey.SIM. why does it say sim? was the van ride not real? is that why doc doesn’t seem to know whats going on? perhaps grumbot got angry and wiped their memories
4. are both doc and grumbot giving clues? that seems to be implied, but why is doc giving clues if he and ren are going to be the ones solving the mystery? would he not just tell ren?
5. might just be me being nitpicky, but the existence of a Grumbot.terminal AND a Grumbot_SuperComputer is odd. the super computer is most likely the room from s7 that grumbot is staying in (which does make me question how he knows whats going on in the outside world if he’s supposedly in the fake happy world grian and mumbo made for him), but whats the terminal? is it in the van, or even in s8 maybe?
the second one is Lucy
when you input the code into the website, the text on the tab for the website changes from rapid switching to the word Lucy
in rens episode i believe, we can see the head of a leucistic axolotl, which are known as lucy axolotls in the game files, and the lucy axolotl is the pink one
now, who else is a pink axolotl? yep, xisuma.
and the coordinates that show up on the website (1534, 21, -266) just so happen to line up where he lives
just where he built that lighthouse that doesnt particularly seem to go with the theme of his base
the same lighthouse that he didnt show the interior of when he built it
just some thoughts
