One thing you may have noticed since Apex Legends Season 14 dropped are the mysterious, silhouetted figures being held prisoner in the background of the new lobby, which is set inside the GDS Vantage (y'know, the ship from this Story from the Outlands). Well, a dataminer appears to have found out who is being held captive behind the glass, and they may seem familiar to those who have played Titanfall 2's campaign.
Posting the results of their datamine on Twitter, 'KralRindo' shows the character model used for the prisoners, and amazingly, it's an IMC scientist. The model is wearing the same outfit worn by the scientists during the Titanfall 2 campaign, most notably in the Effect and Cause mission, as was pointed out by 'ApexLMGLover' in the comments.
While Apex Legends is of course set in the same universe as Titanfall and is closely connected, what is a character model from TF2 doing locked up in the Apex lobby? KralRindo believes that this is just simply a convenient asset that Respawn has reused to give the lobby a bit more atmosphere.
