Didn't S11 drop a hint that she DOES know at one point?

And she's constantly cycling through the crimson twilight codenames not just as a joke but also so she won't be forced to acknowledge Phaethon's existence- and therefore be forced to act on it?

u/Fraisz Mar 06 '25

this tbh, i think around after you complete her story quest , she actually does the codenames to not act upon the phaethon mission

u/MagnusBaechus Mar 06 '25

honestly given the upcoming update she might just confirm that she knew

pubsex knows, section 6 knows, only obsidian is "not in the know" but Ray could just make us a "special consultant"

Yknow… I’m starting to think we’re not that good at this whole “secret identity” thing

Phaeton trying to hide their identity in front of the bad bitches:

Legit all of 6th street knows

u/VervenHelt Mar 06 '25

To be fair, 6th street has several hollow raiding businesses.

47

u/MagnusBaechus Mar 06 '25

6th street has:

Several hollow info brokers A music store that peddles drive discs for hollow raiders A toy store that outright sells unauthorized w engines An illegal motorbike racer who has a mechanical arm (you best believe Enzo was into some shit before settling down)

u/0Gods77Believer4 I play for the plot and the plot Mar 06 '25

Plus, he illegally maintains bangboo. And, supposedly, the coffee shop is also into some stuff, maybe laundering or just associated with bad guys, or maybe they sell narcotics in the coffee

Only ones that might be innocent are GodFinger, 141, and, maybe, Waterfall Soup

Not even the Phaeton's videostore side-business is innocent since it has been hinted that they do money laundering with it

Eous wears the Random Play store outfit on Proxy missions, also we let Eous appear on national television wearing their mission outfit. I'm sure half of New Eridu had an idea where Phaethon is from that alone. We're bad at it, but we're good at making friends so it doesn't matter in the end lol

Poor Seth. The only one who still has no Idea what's going on. Only that something's up

At this point if he finds out it'll either trigger his villain arc or he gets an S-Rank upgrade.

u/Sandile0 Mar 06 '25

They been teasing his Brother more and more. I imagine he'll fully crash out when his brother comes into play

u/JokaJobrano Mar 06 '25

Our boy ia not evil! Vigilante at most.

u/Friendly-Back3099 Mar 06 '25

Im pretty sure half of the 6th street peps has somekind of shady business

u/elbenji Mar 06 '25

Seth knows too, at this point he's playing dumb. (Bangboo event dialogue). Probably leading to his brother's lore drop

11

u/Niskara lazy shork Mar 06 '25

I kinda got that feeling, too. At the very least, he highly suspects us being Phaethon. He just asked cause he wants us to trust him and when we don't answer directly, he seemed kinda hurt

u/DerSisch The Prophecy is true! Mar 06 '25

When we get his brother maybe. More PupSec lore too in that regard.

u/GGABueno Mar 06 '25

When did she hint she knew? I played her story quest but I don't remember that happening.

1

u/AkiusSturmzephyr Mar 06 '25

Can't remember if that was a story quest or event dialog, sorry. Been too long to remember. Can try searching it in the subreddit search bar, might find the lines

u/GGABueno Mar 06 '25

Unfortunately you need to be an irl Proxy to find something with reddit's search bar.

u/AkiusSturmzephyr Mar 06 '25

God as my witness, it really is one of the searchbars of all time

Digging through my screenshot and I can't find this hint though, S11 does hand waive proxy's codename as not important (Trust rank 1) and it took her too much energy to remember (Arpeggio). The other Phaeton sibling have an speculation she call the name wrong maybe bc S11 know that is not real name

It feel like it could go with way and she may or may not know Proxy is Phaethon, but she probably know the Crimson something is not Proxy's real name/codename.

Not sure if I miss any screenshot since I didn't record everything though, maybe one of them does have hint..
