The rest of chapter 1's story prediction
I think the map changes will happen as normal for season 8. the excavations will happen and the vault keys will be placed in the vault to unlock it. the players will go into the vault, see a new singularity helmet alongside the last zero point shard, vote for the drum gun again (because funny) and at the very end a yellow tractor beam will appear in the vault, and remove the zero point shard. once the players leave, we look up to see the dark Voyager already gone, back to 266. the volcano erupts and tilted, retail, and polar peak get struck. season 9 happens and tilted towers is actually getting rebuilt as tilted town as the zero point shard isn't there to power it and also I think season x will go differently to where tilted town wouldn't be possible anyways. retail row also is slowly getting rebuilt, pressure plant still exists and there's no wind turbines. the devourer gets freed (which is confusing because if the og ice king is the same as the current ice king in br who also has a devourer skeleton then that would mean that there's another another another devourer in og) anyways he gets freed, the io start freaking out and build mecha team leader who paradigm reality unknown pilots. the fight happens as normal, until if course mecha team leader can't use a zero point shard that isn't there. mtl gets bodied by the devourer. and maybe there's like a self destruct option that blows both of them up to smitherines. paradigm reality unknown escapes just in time to play a part in season x. in season x the scientist reality unknown shows up but without a zero point explosion to pause he ends up just crashing into dusty again, which makes the divot bigger and it looses its trees and the run down lab. from here I have no idea but I am pretty excited about it. and for the 10th anniversary of br chapter 8 will be a chapter 1 season 11-15 while the og game mode will move to chapter 2.
