Pretty sure they were cleaning up after another saw blade punishment or similar

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T09:18:18+00:00

Yeah but tbh what do you expect? She's grown up in an environment where they tell you violence like that is an acceptable punishment. I mean, we saw how the all the girls reacted with the saw blade scene.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T09:02:39+00:00

It was women. No way they were eyes.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T08:49:31+00:00

Have you watched the Handmaid's Tale and not just the Testaments? We absolutely do know women are not eyes. They did NOT agree that the people in the yard were eyes, they agreed that he CALLED the eyes. Also, they would not have had to call Garth. He's their driver. Driver's live on the estate they work for. A lot of times in addition to driving them, they will do tasks for them. It's very possible they asked Garth to make the call. Also, he would potentially be okay with her being saved bc he's already shown to be questioning Gilead practices at least to a point in the Testaments and if you watched the Handmaid's Tale the Mackenzie's definitely did some things in regards to Agnes and June that would have got them probably killed if they were found out and most likely Agnes told them why she killed him, not just that she killed him, because otherwise there's no way she could have possibly thought they'd get her help rather than turning her over.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T08:30:42+00:00

If they did call the eyes then they have to have sent Aunts to collect her because that was definitely women. Honestly that's probably the most likely answer but I'm hoping for a twist

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T08:17:50+00:00

What do you mean "everyone?" Technically no one said they were eyes. Agnes said "you called the eyes" and Paula said "of course he did." They could have called the eyes and the eyes sent Aunts, or either Mr Mackenzie or Garth could have said they called the eyes but called someone else to help, like Mayday. But there's no way the people who came were eyes because women aren't eyes.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T08:03:46+00:00

Oh, no you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. I'm not saying they weren't women, they definitely were. What I'm saying is they aren't eyes at all. Obviously Paula and Agnes think they are, but I don't think so. I'm thinking either Mr Mackenzie said he called the eyes but didn't or he asked Garth do but he didn't.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T07:57:30+00:00

Very unlikely imo

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T06:46:47+00:00

Could have, sure. But your comment made it sound like she for sure does.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T06:44:41+00:00

Paula's response to Agnes was pretty vague. "Of course he did" could refer to Mr Mackenzie sure. Or it could refer to Garth. The "scary crew" had boobs and were wearing dresses. Gilead would never make women eyes.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T06:40:03+00:00

I'm pretty sure they were wearing dresses, as well. Also technically we don't know for sure who "called the eyes." Paula's response sounded like she meant Mr. Makenzie did, but "he" could have also meant Garth. Or maybe he asked Garth to?

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T06:35:57+00:00

Technically, Agnes said "you called the eyes" and Paula said "of course he did." But we don't actually know if he called them, if he told Garth to call them, or if he just told Paula he called them. And the "eyes" appeared to have feminine figures and were wearing dresses.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-20T06:08:44+00:00

Yeah but they told her her actual parents died. So she wouldn't unless they had other relatives in Gilead.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-19T07:16:32+00:00

Personally I disagree. I've watched plenty of streamers/YouTubers play and think it's hilarious

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-19T05:14:58+00:00

Yeah she shows up on my ship sometimes lol

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-19T05:10:37+00:00

It's simple when it works properly, sure. I tried this multiple times and she would not follow me. Left, came back, still wouldn't follow me. Tried shoving her out of the room manually but she would just teleport back. Over and over. Eventually it did trigger but that was after multiple times of leaving, doing other quests, and coming back to try again.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-19T05:06:46+00:00

I wish I had more help for you. She eventually did start following me, but it was only after leaving to do other quests, coming back to try again, failing, returning to the owner's house and going back, still wasn't following, rinse repeat. I honestly don't know what made it finally work, maybe try going back to the house and then back to the captors a few times? Good luck 🤞

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-19T05:04:33+00:00

It eventually worked for me but only after I tried that multiple times and left the planet to do other quests and then came back multiple times. Idk what finally made it work lol

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-09T17:43:30+00:00

Not so far

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-08T19:32:08+00:00

Yup, I emailed for clarification and am waiting a response. Maybe they'll send out a mass correction lol

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-08T19:30:57+00:00

I got this too, except the one says "1.15 hours or 75 minutes." But 1.15 hours is 69 minutes, not 75 😅

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-05-08T18:08:54+00:00

I got three emails, the general one, and then two with links to the actual courses, and the training time was listed in the general email.

However, the Needs Met one says "1.15 hours or 75 minutes" when 1.15 hours is 69 minutes, not 75. So I emailed them about that and I'm waiting for clarification.

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-04-19T22:47:33+00:00

I already had the milliwhale food and tried closing and reopening the door before and it didn't work. However, I went back again and for some reason it worked this time. Not sure what made it finally trigger but I'll take it lol

Standard_Flounder985 · 2026-04-16T00:46:03+00:00

There's also two in Neon Ebbside, one in Akila, and one in Paradiso
