Timestamp 00:26:34

So the sequence where Simon discovers the previous SM-13 pilot's Eden message happens between 00:26:15 to about 00:30:16. Simon takes 8 pictures over the course of this sequence to light what he's doing. Since they aren't the focus of the scene, most of the pictures are not visible to the viewer, or if they are, they're just slivers.

The picture visible at 00:26:34 though—

Hi Ellie!

#iron lung #just blood #timestamp conspiracies #this isn't really a serious one I just paused the movie to get a look at the pictures and shouted WHAT THE FUCK upon seeing that #as part of my (very neglected) timestamp breakdown I've been working on matching up the pictures from DeadlyMelodic's documentation to-#the corresponding timestamps. Genuinely cannot match this image to any of the ones from the concept art #also fun fact the pictures from DeadlyMelodic's site are not accurate to what is shown on screen. The order is slightly different and-#a few of the images are flipped on the horizontal axis. So been correcting those and adding as I go.

David, directed to the Convict: "This actually is bigger than us, man. Because if that's a skeleton down there, that means this ocean supported life. Things could be alive down there right now! Food! Air! We need this! Not just the COI, all of us! We need this! It's the first shred of real hope we've had in twenty f..."

Inferences:

Twenty four. Twenty four years since the Quiet Rapture, or at least since what remains of humanity had a shred of hope.

If we're assuming the movie places the Quiet Rapture in the same year as the game (357 EIC, 2349 AD), that puts the current year at 381 EIC, or 2373 AD.

UPDATE 5/30/26

Timestamp 01:06:51 reveals the current year: 386 EIC. See later reblogs for details.

Speculation:

Twenty four years since the Quiet Rapture... sounds right. Given the the SM-8's manual was requisitioned on April 1st, 366 EIC (timestamp 00:04:56), that puts the SM-13's second(?) voyage as happening about fifteen years after the SM-8.

Nine years to discover the moons, build at least eight hemorovers, send out at least eight voyages, probably more. Then, after the SM-8's destruction, fifteen years, five more hemorovers, six-ish more voyages (assuming that the SM-13 had one voyage before Simon's).

That slowed down significantly. Were things going well up until the SM-8's destruction? Did something change? Was the COI losing interest? Losing hope?

Ava/The Captain: "Is. There. Damage!? Just tell me if there is a problem with the sub because if you fell, the hull could be punctured, which means a leak, which means flooding, which means you die!"

Inferences:

"Fell" implies that the SM-13 is moving along a surface (the ocean floor), not through the liquid medium.

Earlier, timestamp 00:14:17, Ava/The Captain asks "Did you fall?" This implies that the COI tow ship can't monitor the SM-13's depth, at least in this instance. This is also supported by timestamp 00:02:54, Ava/The Captain says "Just keep an eye on your depth while you're down there... make sure you're not wandering down too far into the red."

This also implies that the tow ship can't monitor the condition of the SM-13. Confirmed at 00:15:19; Ava: "Good. I can't... see much, but it seems like the hull is in one piece,"

Speculations:

If I had to guess, the tow ship monitors the SM-13's tether, keeping it slack to allow for freedom of movement along the ocean floor. The incident at timestamp 00:13:32 where the SM-13 is struck on the port(?) side, then again on the stern(?) side, pulled on the tether and alerted the tow ship that something was wrong.

Either the tether went taut, or it started rapidly unspooling, regardless, the tow ship noticed and stopped it at timestamp 00:13:58. Then at 00:14:04 they started pulling the SM-13 in; depth starts rising and the tow ship is able to make radio contact with the sub.

David, directed at the Convict: "To be honest with you, Captain's had a consolidated stick up her ass since the Quiet Rapture, but... but she cares about her crew. Some more than others, but, y'know."

Inferences:

Ava and David have known each other, at least in a professional sense, since before the Quiet Rapture.

Ava has likely been in whatever military structure the COI was formed from, and potentially has held rank, since before the Quiet Rapture.

Speculation:

If we're assuming that Ava and David have been a part of whatever military structure the COI was formed from (I'm going to be basing this off of American Naval hierarchical structures because the manual of the SM-6 was based loosely on NATOPS manuals), then they would have been 18 at the time of the Quiet Rapture at the very least. Likely older, unless the future comes with lowered age requirements for military service.

Which means Ava and David are at least 42 years old. Likely older, more like 45-ish.

"A Familiar Voice," directed to Simon during flashback:

"...They have a tree. It'll feel just like home."

"Simon, don't be like that."

"You'll love it there."

Inferences:

This is the only dialogue that I can confirm is from "A Familiar Voice." Based on tone and context, I'd say this is Simon's mother or maternal figure. This conversation reads as a mother trying to console a child who's upset about having to move.

These pieces of dialogue are interspersed with other flashbacks pertaining to Simon's experiences related to Eden. That, in addition to the referenced tree, leads me to believe that Simon's mother is referring to Eden.

From there, I can reach the following conclusion:

Simon is not from Eden. He moved there as a child or young teen. Unsure if this is before or after the Quiet Rapture, though I'd presume before.

This adds context to a lot of Simon's behavior towards Eden that I have yet to dig into here. All I'll say right now is he is nowhere near as indoctrinated as I have seen people make him out to be.

#iron lung #iron lung 2026 #iron lung simon #iron lung eden #timestamp conspiracies #I'll probably tack onto this with the like two other snippets of the movie that reference Simon's mother #I don't know why it bothers me so much to see people interpret Simon as a fully indoctrinated cult member. i mean creative liberty is great #do what you want but man. he is CONSTANTLY contradicting Eden. even when he's defending it while talking to David he just sounds... tired.#look I've studied cult behavior extensively. i've taken entire fucking classes on it. i've experienced it first hand.#Simon is Eden's scapegoat. He was causing trouble and asking too many questions from the very beginning of his time there.#just blood

David, directed to the Convict: "That shouldn't have happened at all. The camera's wired into the black box but I- I must've wired it into the backup battery? I don't know. We were in a rush."

Inferences:

The SM-13's camera is wired into the black box and its power supply, which is separate from the main power supply. This is confirmed at 00:43:24; the SM-13's engine fails, the camera is the only system that remains operational.

David specified that he wired it, meaning he at least had a hand in repairing the SM-13 before its second(?) voyage.

Speculation:

Why are they rushing? Beyond the obvious "humanity's running out of resources and we're all going to die." The Captain was willing to cut corners with Simon's oxygen (timestamp 00:18:38) because of the urgency of the skeleton's discovery. Had they discovered something during the SM-13's maiden(?) voyage that would justify rushing to the point of faulty wiring?

Not much else on this specifically. Will revisit after further investigation.

Ava, directed to the Convict: "You're the first one down. All we have are surface scans. That's why you're there."

Not a lot that I can infer with certainty just based on this so we're diving into speculation

Speculation:

Ava is a fucking liar.

But why is she a liar. Why specifically say Simon's the first? Did she mean first in this area? It's an ocean for fuck's sake. The map Simon is given is most likely covers around one square kilometer of the ocean floor, assuming that the map's units are meters. Did she actually mean that he was the first one down in this area and he misunderstood? But then why double down on it at timestamp 00:36:24, "You're the first one we've sent down"? What is the point of lying to him?

The map given to Simon is likely a sonar/radar scan of the ocean floor. A very shitty scan. Though given how much trouble they have communicating via radio while the SM-13 is "in the red" (still trying to get a clear shot of the actual depth gauge to see just how deep the SM-13 is), I'm not surprised they would have a hard time getting a decent radar scan of the ocean floor.

I'll make a separate post on the map in a bit. Did a quick research side quest into ocean floor mapping that's too much to get into here.

This post is a bust I'll revisit this bit later ugh

First drop of condensation to sizzle. 10 minutes of screen time into the voyage, 27 pictures taken, and at least part of the SM-13's hull has reached 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
