Who is the talking goose in Atomic Heart: Killing Instinct

The talking goose chats non-stop, knows a lot of meme quotes and attacks Major P-3 in the swamp and in the Mendeleev complex. With the help of the information available in the game, we will analyze what kind of goose it is and where this strange bird came from. The most interesting thing is that this is the first living talking beast that Nechaev meets - earlier in the game you could only talk with dead animals. Another important difference: you cannot enter into a dialogue with a talking goose, and with close , the bird can attack.

You can find out more information about the strange bird from the found entry "Feathered swearing". Goose with an implanted module "Think” ran around the Mendeleev complex long before Major Nechaev arrived at the location. If the letter is to be believed, then 1 April the bird was thrown over the fence at night on the territory of the Medleleev complex, and the security department assures that employees from the Pavlov complex pulled a cruel joke. All attempts to catch the talking goose were unsuccessful, and the bird continued its hooligan antics.

How does the goose know Major Nechaev

There is a theory that the talking goose knows Major Nechaev quite well.

Let's try to develop this hypothesis and find some indirect evidence:

• «If something went wrong, Seryozha, then don't be upset, it's not your fault. Whose fault is it? Whose f***ing fault is this?!"- the goose addresses the major by name, and constantly insults him at every opportunity, so the bird not only knows the hero, but also feels fierce hatred for him.
• «But then, in Bulgaria, it was me! Ha ha ha!"- it was in this country that the car of Major P-3 exploded along with his wife, after which Nechaev lost his memory, and the remains of Catherine served as the main resource for creating twins, which means that the goose may be involved in that dark story.
• «I forgot my wife. Goose forgot. Have you forgotten Petrov's head at home?!"- the goose allegedly knows that Major P-3 has forgotten his beloved wife Ekaterina and the person whose personality was transplanted into a bird, and also hints that he is aware of the story with Petrov's head.
• «Once upon a time, the road of adventure led me, but then they stepped on my foot. It was you!"- the phrase is not only a reference to the legendary The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but also hints at the fact that Sergey once crossed the road and greatly annoyed the person who is now broadcasting from the body of a goose.
• «And I found rings. My darling! Will not give it back!”- a reference to the Lord of the Rings trilogy also makes it clear that those rings for controlling the Collective system that Nechaev took from Petrov and threw away on the shore could be found by a talking bird.
• «PS His voice is very familiar..."- the author of the note"Feathered foul language " was familiar with the man whose voice the mysterious bird spoke, as evidenced by the final signature in his message.
• Research was carried out in the Pavlov complex и animal experiments - the experimental goose could appear as a planned or unofficial secret project, and any information contained in the enterprise database could be "poured" into the minds of the birds.

All of these guesses are based on phrases from the game and have no official confirmation.
