Scientifically that is not found to be true. Not saying this isn't the case with chimera, but as for the flu it does not happen. Those that get the "flu" after having a flu shot most likely caught a cold and are confusing it with the flu or the vaccine did not work on them and they simply have caught the flu. "The protection from the flu shot is approximately 80% in otherwise healthy people. " http://www.webmd.com/content/article/75/89921.htm

Just thought I'd drop some knowledge since it was mentioned Very Happy

I agree with that, if it's authentic.
Fiction often erroneously uses the flatline sound for dramatic effect. (In real life asystole can't be reversed by defibrillation because there's no more electrical charge to shock back to normal.)
Cassie saying "I'm not staying here to be a counselor of a slaughterhouse" also makes me think he's dead... well, up until it started banging at the door.

Sg like that. So the 2nd video shows the conditions right after the "failure" of the injection from the 1st vid, and that the patient didn't die. I think he woke and probably - because the virus had gotten him so badly - he started banging at the door.

I'm rather sure that the red flashes in the 1st are signs of the virus taking over, tho he has some sober moments, then he gets the injection, the virus calms down, but his body reacts badly.

About the supersoldier spec - I think it's more like people deliberately infected with the virus (lab bunnies) to find a cure. But what is the supersoldier spec based on?

BTW - what about the cut in the video after "What do you think is gonna ..." ? What is missing?

edit - duh, i just restated what we all said. darn. late hour, it is here.

When a person is infected with the Chimeran virus, they go into a comatose state. So Cassie and the doctor thought he was dead but really he was changing into a chimera?

My offical speculation to throw into the ring is that the seven people in the picture were all subjects in this experiment. All but Hale died due to complications and the videos we're seeing are of the failures. We probably haven't seen any of Hale as of yet. Now put that in your pipes and smoke it.

ETA: This was probably speculated somewhere on these 24 pages or elsewhere. I'm just too damn lazy right now to check.

You stole my speculation!

Actually, I don't really know that for sure. I remember at least thinking something along those lines, hahaha. So yes, I agrees.

Do you think there is any significance to the first man having a black "spot" on his shirt, while the others don't? Yeah I asked this earlier.

BTW - found this pic, this shows Hale with red eyes. I think that fits into my spec that this is project Abraham because they are about to send in Hale, who is infected, hence "sacrifice their only son" in a hope that he will return with a cure or something.

In the first one, his eyes got a yellowish shine to them once he'd been infected which started out unnoticable and progressively got more prominent.

Also, I've read a number of times now, from some somewhat reliable sources that the next one is going to deal with clones of Hale being sent against the Chimera. Personally, I think that may be bogus, but just thought I'd tell everyone the other speculations going on in game blogs.

 		You're not in league with the PM's, are you Contra? Talking about men in black suits and later asking us if the game is interesting us in PS3s and RFOM? Foily!

On a side note, I'm typing this from my PS3 ^^

 		Hello peeps. I'm a newb, though I've been reading about some of the past ARGs on here on and off for a few months.

Really excited that I'm here at the start of what looks like a cool game already. Katee 'get my' Sackoff was a good choice!

I played the first Resistance, and wasn't at all impressed, particularly at the way the story unfolded - however, reading all of this backstory has made me realise they have a great concept to work with, so I hope R2 is an improvement in the way the story unfolds.

I really hope the clone thing is not true. It's 1951 for crying out loud.
Maybe super-soldiers created by the military using the same batch of "syrum" given to Hale since he was so succesful against the Chimera. The soldiers might be told to come in for their influenza shot and are given the perfected Chimera retro-virus instead. I could see the US Army and the black-ops with their government propoganda being the protagonists in this next game.

This line of speculation also assumes that the game will take place after the events of the first game and this ARG is providing backstory and helping the game in a viral sense.

Hehe, but that's just me. Welcome aboard!

 		Warning: The following link has HUGE R2 game Spoilers, as in, it lays out the entire game plot and elements. However, if you're a poor person like me who won't get to play the game anyway, go on and take a look.

Wow, big spoilers indeed.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I wonder how valid it is? I think it can confirm some of our speculations at least if it is in fact true.
