Halcyon Theories

This page is for people with huge imaginations. We are talking about Halcyon theories about what happened to Jackdaw, and his friend Ryan Ross, etc. To create a new theory, go down to the bottom of the page and create your title in a header format. Then, press enter and type away. '''Disclaimer: This page is only for 100% serious theories; trolling of any sort will NOT BE TOLERATED. '''

A paragraph or two is good for a theory.

How Jackdaw and Wren are friends before:
Jackdaw and Wren are best friends. They have everything in common, but one day their friendship was gone, yes, it's gone. And they are now enemies. This is what happened...

One day, they were at a coffee shop, talking about their interests and what they did last night. Then suddenly, Jackdaw said: "Hey, you wanna create an organization and dominate the world?" Wren doesn't like to dominate the world, he just wants what he wants and he thought he doesn't have to really hurt anyone. Wren said no. But Jackdaw got mad and he started arguing. Just then, a clerk overheard their conversation. Jackdaw realized that the cops were after them and he ran away. Wren was confused because he heard nothing cause he's is drowned by Jackdaw's loud voice.

The cops came shortly and arrested Wren. Wren was determined to take revenge and settle the matter between Jackdaw and him. And that's how they were no longer friends.

How we received info about the bank
Ryan Ross appeared in the mission briefing of the deposit and it said our friend Ryan Ross. But It could mean that we took the info from the hard drive? I don't know if it's true or not so its a guess.

The Truth Behind Freefall Softworks
Although Entry Point is officially developed by "Freefall Softworks," the organization seems to have no members but Cishshato themselves. However, it is logically and existentially impossible for an organization, especially one as popular as Freefall Softworks, to be comprised of only one member. Thus, we can conclude that Freefall Softworks is a shadow organization. This "Cishshato" may be one person, or it may be a common identity held by several members. Regardless, there is no doubt this organization has multiple members, though it only reveals one to the public.

Likewise, Halcyon is a shadow organization with an air of mystery to it. Although we get to know many of its members, this is only because we are part of the organization. From an outside perspective, Halcyon is as mysterious as Freefall Softworks.

Given this parallel, it is no coincidence that Freefall Softworks is developing the game "Entry Point." Although the game itself is fictional, the events it depicts are real. Features such as "The Lock," stealth capabilities, and advanced CQB can be used to identify and train potential recruits. Although Entry Point is only a video game, it's scientifically proven that performance in video games is correlated to real-world abilities, and training via virtual simulation is already used by several intelligence organizations, as stated in the CIA World Factbook.

In other words, Freefall Softworks is not just similar to Halcyon; in a way, it is Halcyon. As the rise of Phoenix's real-world counterpart threatens Freefall Softworks, they have resorted to online simulations and training to recruit and train new members.

The Towels in the Loot Bag
The fact that Halcyon is using dirty towels and the fact that Jackdaw paid the operatives more on "The Withdrawal" leads me to believe that Halcyon has insufficient funding. Why would they use dirty towels if normal people can afford over 2 bags of clean ones? halcyon also puts dirt laundry in the loot bag in killhouse and thats also what operatives get payed in, because they run a dry cleaning

Halcyon is near broke and could be decaying from the inside. SPOILER: Jackdaw worked at REDACTED and his real name is REDACTED REDACTED and he was pursued after he REDACTED. He has been more successful (I'm assuming) than Halcyon. That is the reason I think Halcyon is breaking down. Also, "Payoff" exists. It could've been anyone.
