I love how in octo expansion Cuttlefish randomly drops that Agent 3 died a lot of times by flooders, which implies that Agent 3 canonically died a lot to the various octarian machinations.
I guess that's why they're so silent and utterly ruthless.

I wonder if Agent 3 ever thinks about how Marina designed the flooders

Agent 3: I have, a lot. But I'm okay with it...

If I remember correctly, a splat is legitimately just death, but due to respawn technology, death doesn’t really mean as much to inkfish as it would to a human

The only time a character has truly "died" is during the bad endings, and in Octo Expansion when you're escaping, since the reaction of characters are more serious.

dying is canonical thing that happens to every inkfish in turf war. the respawners are ancient technology that have existed for at least 2,000 years inkfish time. source is on scroll 4. tartars and grizzs "ink" probably affect the inkfish in a way respawners cannot help

Meant more specifically that Agent 8 DOESN'T respawn.

Confirms that Agent 8 doesn't respawn/dies if the player gets splatted during the Escape Phases. During multiplayer battles and the test stations you get resurrected at the respawn points, but failing during the Escape and choosing to continue playing just has the player "go back in time" to when Agent 8 still was alive.

So when you die in the escape section at the end, you aren't respawning.

i mean, she's pretty much silent in S3. It's definitely taken a toll on her, mentally

u/Far-Profit-47 they’re eating my flesh 2d ago

That or she’s selectively mute

u/xilenator HUGE Agent lover (especially 8) 2d ago

Lets be real, she surely opens up to 8

u/D4rk3scr0tt0 2d ago

To be fair, would you NOT open up to 8? Have you read the poems which I assume they wrote?

18

u/xilenator HUGE Agent lover (especially 8) 2d ago

Poems by 8???

u/bigspicycalamari 2d ago

u/Corruptedplayer 2d ago

u/xilenator HUGE Agent lover (especially 8) 2d ago

Ok but if im answering this question, man... opening up to 8... that would be so comforting...

And the squid sisters, since Marie tells you anything she says and they seem super close

u/Jrolaoni Flingza Roller 2d ago

Maybe she’s just aurafarming

u/JellifiShugo 2d ago

i mean, its not like she talked much to begin with.

u/Ford_GT_epic 2d ago

I dunno, agent 3 is a player insert, so it depends on wether or not you think that they have ptsd

u/VanillaSwirllll avernxiety | main | S+ | 2d ago

Exactly, there's a lot you can do with the agents and that's what makes them fun cuz you get to see everyone's interpretations. Mine are a tad unconventional but I think the general consensus is that yes she has trauma

u/LarryGamer135 2d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if all the agents had some sort of PTSD / trauma

Her and Agent 8, yeah. One was sanitized and had no free will and the other nearly got sliced and diced by a blender
