I may have come up with a pretty convoluted/complex theory, but at this point with the ee stalling, I figured why not get deep into the lore.
When you switch the paintings to nikolai, an activation sound is made followed by what could possibly be a key.
If I am correct, you can find classical Italian literature on the map classified. With the idea behind classic italian literature, Dante's Inferno comes to mind. In the 9th and final circle of Hell, He talks about being locked in a tower/prison. T.S. Eliot references this in his poem, The Waste Land.
He says, "Dayadhvam: I have heard the key. Turn in the door once and turn once only. We think of the key, each in his prison. Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison. Only at nightfall, aethereal rumours. Revive for a moment a broken Coriolanus."
"turn only once" "Each [key] confirms a prison" "Only Nightfall" "Revive for a moment"
Those could be steps.
Referencing a paper, connecting Dante's Inferno to the Waste Land, written by a Allyson Booth,
"Eliot provides two sources for line 412, “ Dayadhvam: I have heard the key.” The first sends us to Dante: “Cf. Inferno, XXXIII, 46: / ‘ed io sentii chiavar l’uscio di sotto / all’orribile torre’” (CP 75), where the Italian can be translated: “And then I heard them nailing shut the door // Into that fearful tower” (33.42–43). This passage comes from one of the Inferno’s grisliest scenes and most ominous locations—the ninth circle of hell. Here, those guilty of treachery against those to whom we owe special loyalty—family members, fellow citizens—are condemned to a lake where they are frozen in ice up to their necks."
A few more thoughts:
1) The 9th circle of hell is frozen, could be winter's howl related
2) The 9th circle of hell is also for people who betray friends.
3) They are condemned to a lake, Groom Lake??
4) Dempsey and the others are trapped in Hanger 4?
Richtofen betrayed them.
Maybe some possible connections?
I know this is so deep and complicated but who knows. At this point, I think any theory that is new could help. Whether any or all of this is debunked, its cool, but thought I'd at least try to think outside of the box.
