Regarding Susie (FILE-INT-RESPH) - Haltmann's Archives

"Regarding Susie [FILE-INT-RESPH] - Haltmann's Archives" is a high quality lore video and an internal "file" in Haltmann's Archives. It is the reward of Arc 1 of The Susie ARG.
__NOTOC__
== Summary ==
The video opens with a dated display with President Haltmann's logo. A large warning is displayed in red text:
Following this, the color scheme changes to yellow and the advertised file is shown, in a format similar to all Haltmann's Archives videos starting with "[FILE-02]".
The file consists of an assessment of President Haltmann and his ultimate goal of finding and securing his daughter Susie, which has thus been the main objective of Haltmann Works Company ever since their occupation of Grandiose City in the Christmas Comeback Crisis. Dr. Andonuts begins by describing Haltmann, as he cannot retain any memories of him following his death, then delves into information regarding Haltmann's iteration in his game of origin, Kirby Planet Robobot, contrasting it with the Figment of Haltmann seen in the Central Canon Continuum: in the game, Haltmann could not originally recognize Susie, and the two were destined to never meet each other following their transformations due to the influence of Star Dream. These characteristics contrast with those of the Figment of Haltmann, who was greatly determined to find Susie at all costs and was fully able to recognize her, enough to never be satisfied with any other "alternative iterations" of her.
Andonuts then notes how all attempts to materialize Susie have been unsuccessful, first through the Figment Transportation Device installed by Wood Man on SiIvaGunner's computer, then later through Project AIRTH and the SiIva A.I.. He describes how Figments are physical constructions of ideas whose aspects are defined by the main sources of origin that comprise them, citing himself as an example, as he is composed of traits of his character, both positive and negative, taken from . He then theorizes that the sources for the Figment of Haltmann were Kirby Planet Robobot and the CCC itself, the latter having influenced Haltmann through the prevalence of rips featuring "The Noble Haltmann", a motif related to him. Susie has never had a significant presence in rips, but did also have a connection to "The Noble Haltmann" through her performance of the song in Kirby Planet Robobot, a connection that The Voice Inside Your Head had previously attempted to use on Haltmann by having Haruka Amami perform the song as Susie. However, due to the song already having Haltmann as its representative Figment, the connection to Susie is entirely overridden.
From all of these established facts, Andonuts concludes that Haltmann's eternal separation from Susie is an aspect of the characters that was preserved in Haltmann's iteration as a Figment, due to being an important plot point in their game of origin, meaning that Susie cannot physically exist alongside Haltmann, but the idea of her still remains, fragmented and scattered throughout all of existence due to the attempts to materialize her as a Figment and the conflicts present in the metaphysical narrative.
After the file ends at 9:27, the video shows a pitch-black void, and dialogue from an unseen individual begins appearing at 9:35. At 10:44, the speaker is revealed to be Susie herself, who appears in the void and states that she will explain her situation soon, but needs time to rest, and asks that the viewers enjoy the holiday season in the meantime.

This video was initially discovered in the unlisted playlist (originally named "RE:"), the link of which was pieced together from the strings shown at the end of the five internal Haltmann's Archives files from each branch of The Susie ARG. It was then premiered on the channel soon afterwards, and was set as the featured video for returning subscribers, replacing "Christmastime is Here - Snoopy Concert".
