QSMP - Hey so I think the Resistance kidnapped Pac back in August

/rp Let us recall Pac getting kidnapped.

Pac and Mike find the above book in Walter Bob's cell, labelled "ASSIGNMENT".

One of the screen displays in another prison cell (Tazercraft speculates that it's the Prison Ghost that helped them out in their joint jailbreak earlier) gives Fit the coordinates.

Tazercraft goes to the coords and find the Code with the Code Sword, which attacks them.

Forever warps them out, but Pac gets warped far away underwater.

Pac goes to Ocean Jail. "Craft is offline. Tazer is alone."

Mike gets a series of clues left for him by an anonymous party.

(Checking back at the initial coords where the code attacked first, they find one of those white rooms with an caged Blob of Darkness. Later players speculate this has something to do with the Dark Matter but I don't think we know anything for sure.)

When they find and rescue Pac, Pac says he's been trapped there and someone was being tortured next to him, but doesn't know a lot else.

Ocean Jail does not look like a normal Federation build - IIRC the block palette was very dark, not white quartz all over.

On the way out, they are chased by a couple faceless guard-entities on the way out, who Mike kills. And that's about it.

Knowing what we know now from Etoiles' lore and the fact that Walter Bob was a Resistance member, I don't think Pac was kidnapped by the Federation. I think he was kidnapped by the Code/Resistance-alliance.

To me, this paints a coherent picture:

Resistance member Walter Bob planned to deliver something to the found coords, which is a Resistance base.

Tazercraft gets near the place and their presence triggers an alarm or freaks someone out, which summons the Codes.

The Code (somehow?) sends Pac to the Resistance's Ocean Jail as a defensive measure.

(I checked many of these but am kind of going from memory for others, please let me know if I have a detail wrong.)

The Resistance base that Etoiles has visited multiple times (in addition to being the name of the waystone, this is also referenced in one of the books inside, AFAICT as the name of the location) is named after the latin name of the European hornet, Vespa crabro.

Jot that down. Could be important.
