  1. SKIP No Coincidences Spoilers: 25:20 – 25:40

    Hey chooms, I hope you all enjoyed. I love the lore behind Phantom Liberty and Project Cynosure, so I tried to take my time with this one!

  4. Excellent video as always.There is a clue that the Cynosure project is also known in other parties.For example Aurore is hunted by a mysterious syndicate called Le Collectif.They are presented as a crime syndicate,but Nancys's shard implies they are a front of an unknown organisation.Also Aymerics memory shards from 2073-2076 are stolen.I think it is not a coincidence.

  5. If the theory of Mr. Blue Eyes being a rogue AI proxy is true, I don't think he'll be interested in the Cynosure facility because if you have the Canto equipped when you do the Shot By Both Sides quest, when you're watching Evan McRay's logs, the Canto will say something like "you are searching for the key to a door that does not exist, such is the nature of your kind", which kind of implies that rogue AI are already out there roaming the net or in the world as proxies, making the Cynosure project insignificant to them imo. Anyways, LOVE these vids, always hyped when a new one pops up.

  11. I think it would have been a lot cooler if Cynosure was a company that was bought/merged by Militech.

    You're suddenly in a cyberwar with Arasaka? Just aggressively aquire a small, competent tech company and wipe the records of their existence.

  26. Here's an idea for your next video a sequel to this video really..

    You wonder why they seemingly suddenly stopped downloading information from the cynoshure site, here it is..
    The clue is the name.. the name cynoshure is loosely based on the act of Exposure to synaptic transmission that occurs there.. basically when the net runners "jack in" they're allowing electronic signals to travel to their brain.. and What happened with Lizzy Wizzy and Song Bird, should be a clue..
    When Lizzy "Trasformed" into a robot.. what really happened is.. her memory was copied not experienced.
    So Lizzy died when they killed her body.. then they programmed an android to act like her.. resulting in what is now known as "Chrome Lizzy Wizzy" which is why she has "Writers block" and can no longer write songs anymore.. because 1.. she isn't Lizzy, she's a robot convinced she is.
    And 2.. music is a feeling.. and she can no longer feel anything. Because she's not an organic creature.

    Also getting back to the main point. The woman in the cynoshure facility who thought shed lost her mind was right. But not as she thought.

    What happened is while she thought she was downloading data to use.. the facility was actually using her brain.. as a memory card.. and that test about what does coffee feel like? Etc
    Is a test to see if she's actually human.. and not virus or rogue AI pretending to be her. Like Lizzy Wizzy.
    The reason Lizzy Wizzy android #1 is allowed to exist is cos she's an unwitting spy.. and all data she gathers is all downloaded to Arasaka permanently and fed to the rogue AI who is now pretending to be the dead Arasaka.. in order to manipulate the barely human daughter.. who still has access to all the secrets within Arasaka corp.. and young yorinobu was its attempt at becoming Human. Or at least trying to. However the human brain has it's limits.
    A similar storyline happened in Assassin's Creed with the ghost of Juno..
    She entered "The Grey" which is the empty parts of cyber space.
    Named after "Grey Matter" the inactive parts of the brain.

    So basically Militec had to shut down the facility cos they realised what it was and how it did it.
    Then the AI that apready escaped killed the founder of Night City.. and became Mr Blue Eyes. Most likely.. well tbf.. he's merely where the AI often sends a signal. It's actual form is the one who posed as Alt Cunningham in order to control the Johnny side of V, in case V didn't survive.. and when V wakes up and is asked those questions of Coffee etc.. it's because the Alt Cunningham keeps trying to become V.. instead of honouring the agreement and returning V.. so they keep V contained.. on the moon. Until he can be trusted.

    So that's what ive gathered so far.
    What do you think? Choom 😊
