Brimstone's Office/Episode 6

*This page is an archive or all the lore elements present or updated in Brimstone's Office during Episode 6. For more information about the office itself, see its page*

Brimstone's Office is an area in the Range, that contains many important lore elements that are periodically updated every Patch. An archive of all these updates added during Episode 5 has been made here.

## Bulletin Board

The Office has a bulletin board, which is regularly updated with new content based on the current projects of the PROTOCOL and relevant events in the story. It was originally placed in the front corner of the Brimstone's Office, but was later moved upstairs.

The Board in Patch 6.0

### Patch 6.0

All the 'extra' images on the bulletin board have been removing, leaving just the pins for each of the playable maps (this is the first time that the bulletin board has been blank like this since Patch 3.10). A new pin for Lotus has been added as well.

## Voicemails

Brimstone's phone is an interactable present in the office, that plays voicemails sent by the Agents to Brimstone when interacted with. Like the Bulletin Board, the voicemails are periodically updated every patch.

### Patch 6.0 Voicemails

  **Fade**
Brimstone, the Nightmare came to me with a vision, different from the rest, I-... I saw the walls holding our world together fall apart. I felt the wind go still, I could smell the bitterness of blood and bile. I heard small, uncertain voices crying out, and I could taste the fear. There was so much of it, like the whole planet had fever. So I climbed, I climbed this... tall cliff. It was jagged as bone, stretching up, dizzying. But with broken fingers I reached the top and saw the end of our time. A silent window, stretching over the ocean, filled with dead faces. And then I woke up. Brimstone, I have seen many things in my line of work but... we must not let this come to pass!

Fade's voicemail for Patch 6.0 is a scary warning for the future of Alpha Earth. Fade dreamed of a version of Alpha Earth where the world had been ruined and people were lost, scared and helpless. Fade mentions how she had to climb to the top of a tall cliff to see further, but all she found was 'an ocean, filled with dead faces'. Throughout the voicemail, Fade seems to be in a shaken, almost crying expression showing her fear of what can happen in the future.

She warns Brimstone of what may come if they do not take action, implying that this was one of the scariest things she has ever seen - which is quite something, given that she constantly deals with people's nightmares when channeling her radiance.

### Patch 6.01 Voicemails

  **Cypher**
Hello, Brimstone. I have concerns about our dear dream seer... er, not the usual ones. She's not sleeping well. I see her up and wandering at all hours, afflicted in unique way. Always troubled, I can tell. Her power is an asset, but not at the cost of her life. Is there something we can do? She is not wont to ask for help, so I will as in her stead.

  **Omen**
Oh! Sorry, Brimstone, I meant to contact Fade
...
Goodbye.

Both the voicemails of this Patch continue where last Patch left off, with Fade now facing a chronic sleeplessness due to her past nightmare. It's gotten bad enough that even the other Agents are starting to take notice.

A nice touch is that the two voicemails we get are also from the two Agents who are confirmed to have a friendly relationship with her - Cypher has always had a healthy respect for her powers and her skill at finding hidden information, while the *Agent Insights: Fade* article confirmed that Fade spent her free time reading with Omen

## Emails

As with Brimstone's phone, one can also interact with Brimstone's Laptop to reveal an Email sent to or from Brimstone by one of the Agents, which is also updated in each Patch

### Patch 6.0 Email

This Email from Brimstone follows up on the events of the *REVELATION* cinematic, the *City of Flowers* map trailer for Lotus, and the various emails and voicemails that preceded it. Brimstone confirms that the opening of the Nexus on Lotus by the VALORANT LEGION has not had any major repercussions on Alpha Earth (yet), however, Astra is attempting to understand them.

Brimstone recognizes the difficult and dangerous work of Skye, Astra and Harbor, mentioning that, had Astra and Harbor not been on site, the situation may have been much more dire. He ends the email by saying that the situation will likely not be resolved for a while, possibly meaning that another series of events may take place in the meantime.

### Patch 6.01 Email

In a welcome change of pace, Viper's Email to Brimstone this patch didn't pertain to the main story progressing with the Nexus, instead going back to conclude an unresolved issue with a past subplot.

When the team was on vacation, and Raze and Killjoy kissed (making Nanobomb the first canonical ship in VALORANT's Universe), how the rest of the team would react was left unresolved. By the Protocol's official rulebook, 'fraternization' between the Agents was explicitly forbidden, since having romantic relationships could impair their decisions and their performance while on the field.

Given that the two had started dating, it seemed that Brimstone had revoked the infamous 'No Fraternization' rule, effectively opening the doors for any form of romantic relationship among the Agents. Viper, while still considering this attachment to be a 'risk', deemed it acceptable for these changes to be made official.
