#they were perfectly fine with the deaths of duplicants for science but smth abt that data crossed a line to them

Ok so good news I have finished unlocking all the oni lore, bad news there wasn't as much left as I was hoping. But on the bright side, Jean and Nails got to do more stuff hell fucking yes

#rat rambles #oni posting #also the nails log is So fucking interesting Im obsessed with it #also rip olivia made the brain stuff hc but Im perfectly ok with this #oh we also got more nikola stuff in the same logs which is fascinating #mostly because it has continued to pile onto the weirdness of the 'evil' log #because evidently managing the time bow wasnt his job for most of his time at gravitas #or at least not a primary responsibility of his #as for nails I find them to be such a delightful character theyre another great example of oni's ability to give its characters such strong #characterizations without letting us know much about any of the cast on a personal level #in particular I love that nails is a part of the 'yeah they totally know' club while also being the closest thing we get to someone's #perspective on the project on a more personal level even if it's not super directly #nails is a person who was very optimistic and admiring of jackie who was all for less regulation until they weren't #they were perfectly fine with the deaths of duplicants for science but smth abt that data crossed a line to them #idk what sort of thing is so horrible that it made someone go from not minding the deaths of a being to going behind their company's back #in a desperate attempt to try to help them even if it ultimately doesnt add up to much #oh and they did at least one test of the memory transferal on a human. we dont know who it is all we're given is a subject number (901) #but well. I kinda feel like theres one option the game may be pointing us towards #theres only one character weve seen with an added number to their work id #anyways hiiiii olivia hows it going over there are you failing to free yourself from the being involved with duplicant stuff allegations #like I was getting real close to admitting that it is possible that she wasnt at all involved with the duplicant program but uh nvm lol #rly the one thing that made me start cracking on my belief that She Knows is thats he never directly talks abt duplicants by namr #she talks abt 'printed subjects' a whole lot but technically speaking that doesnt inherently mean shes talking abt duplicants too #but at the same time. the way she talks abt these printed subjects a lot of the time sure as hell doenst make it sound like critters #like hell the reason she initially quit was not wanting mind control to be implemented into printed subjects #and then theres the email where she requests that the microchips in the 'colonists' are given non survival data too #so like. she knows she totally does she just doesnt call them duplicants #which tbh makes sense given that by all means they basically are humans theyre literally meant to be exact clones #so maybe she never started calling them duplicants when the name was concieved for some reason or another #most likely because of how dehumanizing it is even if she probably doesnt mind other methods of dehumanization on them too much
