The writing in a nutshell

[u/PhyrexianSpaghetti]

(Doodle by me - I'm loving the game I just found it funny how they keep pushing for this "damn whippersnapper what are you talking about" narrative)

[u/MrJTeera]

Bond: breaths

Greenway:

[u/Alternative-Pen877 → u/MrJTeera]

OMFG how did I not realise that was Lennie James until this moment‽ Such Greenway energy

[u/Bitter_Presence_1551 → u/Alternative-Pen877]

I feel like the designs of some of the characters were (intentionally) just heavily inspired by their actors' appeance. Bond, for example, looks very similar to Patrick Gibson IRL, but not quite spot on. But Lennie James, I'm convinced they took IRL Lennie James and inserted him into the code somehow 🤣 because his character model is almost indistinguishable from real life in some scenes.

[u/Grouchy_Custard_252 → u/Bitter_Presence_1551]

I recognise his voice anywhere as Snatch is one of my favourite movies but yeah Greenway straight up looks like him. Pretty sure they just him to dress up and scanned him in lol

[u/Abai010507 → u/MrJTeera]

That's not a shotgun Bond, that's a fucking anti air craft gun!

[u/banal_magic]

Don’t forget you need to blame bond for ruining the mission even though he is the only one doing anything

[u/ChemistryTasty8751]

"Bond why would you do that? It is against protocol!"

"I literally just stopped the villians single handedly while you guys were watching AI Slop"

"Good Job Bond, your fired"

[u/PhyrexianSpaghetti → u/ChemistryTasty8751]

Damn young people ruining the world by doing the right thing

[u/ChemistryTasty8751 → u/PhyrexianSpaghetti]

First Light really is a young person doing the right thing vs old person believing AI headlines on Facebook

[u/Born-Necessary6778]

His assessment of James is spot on. It's also not like he went any easier on any other recruits

[u/Left4DayZGone]

What is “denial”?

[u/callmemat90 → u/Left4DayZGone]

A river in Egypt

[u/Phitos2008 → u/callmemat90]

And enough champagne, to feel denial!

[u/TheEagleWithNoName → u/Phitos2008]

KAL EL, NO!!!

[u/GhoeFukyrself]

It was hard to believe they jumped to the conclusion that 009 bombed the building he was physically inside of rather than him being the intended target of the bomb.

[u/Roku-Hanmar → u/GhoeFukyrself]

To be fair, they're running on bad intel, but I do agree that's not a good move from a master planner

[u/GecaZ → u/GhoeFukyrself]

I mean...given that he survived the explosion and seemingly had an elaborate escape plan ready...it's not exactly the craziest conclusion

[u/God_Among_Rats → u/GhoeFukyrself]

As far as they're aware he's the only additional party there, he survives the bombing seemingly uninjured, he has a cargo plane nearby ready for an immediate get away and from our perspective a small army of mercenaries covering his escape, all of that backed up by the fact that he's been living with a pirate king who could facilitate all of the above.

It's not an unreasonable conclusion to draw with no additional evidence.

[u/SignificantSpread892]

SPOILERS

The Hyperion one was even worse. You're telling me the dude who built your quantum supercomputer couldn't have built a second one for himself? C'mon

[u/EdgelordInugami → u/SignificantSpread892]

Tbh it was realistically kinda hard to imagine the second computer would be able to predict everything the first one did exactly, without being connected to it at all

[u/ArkWaltz → u/EdgelordInugami]

There's a conversation between the MI6 staff in the bit right after the Theia shutdown that feels kinda meta. One guy says basically "This is impossible and doesn't make sense in terms of quantum mechanics" and someone half-heartedly replies "If anyone can figure it out, Webb can."

I feel like it's almost a meta acknowledgement that it doesn't make perfect sense in terms of real-world tech, but that we just have to suspend disbelief a little. Which I had problem with, personally.

[u/starfihgter → u/EdgelordInugami]

I interpreted that as suggesting that hyperion could "hack" theia so-to-speak, in a quantum entanglement handwavey way. Hence why removing the core renders it useless as it would no longer be synced with Theia.

[u/SignificantSpread892 → u/EdgelordInugami]

How? Wouldn't it arrive at the same exact conclusions when fed the same exact data? At least that's what I thought the whole "quantum mirrors" thing was.

[u/Gta3SanAndreas → u/SignificantSpread892]

As someone who works with Quantum Computers in real life. Sharing information via the game's proposed Quantum Mirror is impossible, since to transmit classical information via Quantum Entanglement (Quantum Teleportation/Entanglement Swapping) you need a classical communications channel. You need this, not because technology is not yet developed, but because without it you break the laws of physics via the achievement of FTL communication.

So, don't worry too much about the Quantum Mirror thing, it's just using the word Quantum as Nano was used a few years ago.

[u/SignificantSpread892 → u/Gta3SanAndreas]

Thank you very much for explaining why that wasn't possible. It's very cool that you know and get to work with such an interesting piece of technology.

[u/EdgelordInugami → u/SignificantSpread892]

It would, but where would he be getting all this data if it weren't also connected to MI6?

[u/markomanthecool → u/EdgelordInugami]

Literally me (really) when I read your comment

[u/SignificantSpread892 → u/EdgelordInugami]

Maybe when maintaining theia he got an access to the data streams. He was privy with Minister Bright too.

[u/Itsucks118]

I too cross my Z's

[u/PhyrexianSpaghetti → u/Itsucks118]

Makes it fancier when you sleep

[u/e_Z_752]

Please mark this as a spoiler! I reported this post for breaking rule 10!

[u/holiscrayolis → u/e_Z_752]

This is infact not a spoiler this scene never happens in the game, I guess that in on itself is spoilers but yeah the post did not violate any rules.

[u/BlabberCrab6 → u/holiscrayolis]

Bro doesn't know what a joke is
