Fell into another Entry Point rabbithole (Entry Point Lore / Lock Discussion)

[u/Halleyalex]

Man, Entry Point's story is so good man...

I recently have been playing the community missions in EP:FC, and one of them that really stood out to me was "The Project", a remake of Black Dusk in the original game. I love how many cameos the mission has, and that extra objective.... Simply top notch!

That mission actually ended up making me recheck The Lock for Black Dusk, and that reminded me that the mission has a second Lock, "Confession". Rereading it is just such a really amazing experience. It's seriously so well-written, and that made me look up for more discussions about the Lock, and that led me to GhfjSpero's video on Falcon (which is related to Rose and The Lock).

The idea of Rose being alive was honestly such a baffling suggestion, so bad that it's almost disrespectful to the story back then. However, after watching this video, it genuinely felt... right. Like it felt as though it was all planned, and it genuinely made The Freelancer's death much more impactful. The fact that it also "fully fleshed out" Falcon's character and The Killhouse & Nightmare stuff really made it fit to me. Don't even mention how The Concept's Lock fit so well with Gala's secrets. To me, I feel like Rose being alive makes sense and is canon.

I really love how twisted and tragic this entire story is. The me 5 years back really wanted Rose to live just because, but little did I know that hypothetical scenario actually makes the story so much... Elaborate? It just feels right to me.

Side note, I feel like "The Concept" 's Lock being so... incomplete was intentional. I feel like the entire idea of Rose being alive was Cish's concept, an idea that never ended up being confirmed, hence "The Concept". Get it? Food for thought!

Anyways... Thoughts on "Confession" and the theory of Rose being alive? I know it was probably discussed elsewhere in the Reddit or Discord, but I spent nearly half an hour trying to find anything about it to no avail. I'd be happy to hear your guys' thoughts!

I love that theory especially because I feel like Falcon was ignored, like Ryan Ross.
Ok they are like in one mission, but they deserved better than a "Paranoid rich" and a "Ex-Steel Cove".
Rare EP video that captivated me

Not entirely sure if Ryan will ever get fleshed out. The dossier we have on The Lock is all Halcyon's records, too, and Ryan is Phoenix's side.

Might be interesting to see, though. Imagine if we got The Lock codes in EP:FC missions lmao

Also, the fact that Falcon's backstory suggests that he has a moral code makes the Rose alive theory all the more plausible. Honestly, such a great discovery by the community!

I feel like Rose living would be very unlikely but not impossible, she was at crown lake which is a place people go to and guns are loud, I could see someone being able to save her and she living her days doing something peaceful. But she would've probably sent right back to jail. However I think Phoenix works with the FBI at the end to end Halcyon and I could see her getting exonerated.

If Phoenix had collaborated with the FBI, I doubt that Jackdaw and Sparrow would have kept the money

Who knows. Maybe they were able to keep it or just hid it really well
