== Unlocking ==
During the ''Octo Expansion'', [[Marina]] hacks into [[Agent 8]]'s [[CQ-80]] device and uploads logs of some chat sessions that she wanted to share. The chat participants are Marina (DJ_Hyperfresh), [[Pearl]] (MC.Princess), [[Cuttlefish|Cap'n Cuttlefish]] (CraigCuttlefish), and [[Marie]] (Agent 2).
Chat sessions are unlocked by completing specific stations. Stations are grouped as detailed in the table below; these groupings are used internally by the game and not shown to the player. Beating any one station in a group will unlock the next chat log. Only one chat log can be unlocked per group. Chat logs will always unlock in the same order regardless of which group the player targets.

=== Session 1 ===
<blockquote>
■Webmaster■ > DJ_Hyperfresh has joined the chatroom.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Hey.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyone here yet?<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Helloooooooooooo?<br />
■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has joined the chatroom.<br />
MC.Princess > Ayo its Pearl! aka MC Princess, aka The Baroness of Bars, aka MC Foreign Policy<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > ...<br />
MC.Princess > OH SNAP its Marina<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Hey, Pearl...<br />
MC.Princess > aka DJ Hyperfresh<br />
MC.Princess > aka DJ Cold Breakfast, aka The Fuzzy Dazzler, aka DJ Catch-and-Release<br />
■Webmaster■ > CraigCuttlefish has joined the chatroom.<br />
MC.Princess > Bahaha! Dudes screen name is just his first and last name. Gotta love old people lol<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Hi, Captain Cuttlefish! Can you see the chatroom okay on your cell phone?<br />
CraigCuttlefish > I CAN SEE IT JUST FINE THANKS FOR ASKING<br />
CraigCuttlefish > BUT ALL MY LETTERS ARE BIG FOR SOME REASON<br />
MC.Princess > Hit the caps lock key, cap<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > It should be the button in the lower left, depending on your phone.<br />

CraigCuttlefish > Te$+, 1 @M cUtTleF:$h<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Agent 8, we'll send you a dump of our latest chat logs every few stages. Keep an eye out!<br />
MC.Princess > Yo cap how did you even type like that? You gotta show me.
</blockquote>


=== Session 2 ===
==Trivia==
<blockquote>
* One of Pearl's nicknames for Marina, "DJ Cold Breakfast", is a reference to the European [[Splatfest]] from November 2017, [[Warm Breakfast vs. Cold Breakfast]], in which Marina chose Team Cold.
MC.Princess > Yo I'ma go cop some snacks PEECE<br />
* In the English localization, Cap'n Cuttlefish's quote "No fan of hip-hop is a foe of mine, I don't see genre" and his previous quote "No fan of the Inkantation is a foe of mine, I don't see species" are cultural references to those who say "I don't see color" when talking about race relations in real life. Said people may mean well, but the phrase is generally taken as an insult to those it is spoken to, hence Pearl and Marina's less than enthusiastic reactions to the phrases.
DJ_Hyperfresh > OK, gotcha!<br />
* The running gag where Cap'n Cuttlefish has difficulty navigating his keyboard differs depending on the language:
■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has left the chatroom.<br />
** In the original Japanese version, he initially types with Latin letters, [[wikipedia: Halfwidth and fullwidth forms|which are considered "half-width" in comparison to "full-width" Japanese characters]]. When Marina guides him to use full-width characters, he ends up using [[wikipedia: Half-width kana|half-width kana]] instead. Later, when he starts typing with full-width characters, he does not use kanji at any time, unlike Pearl, Marina, and Marie.
CraigCuttlefish > roger dodger<br />
** In the Russian localization, he initially communicates with the [[wikipedia: KOI-8|KOI-8]] codepage. This causes his text to display incorrectly, leaving Pearl unable to understand him.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ylitvinenko/status/1007145374463741952 {{TWI}} English-language explanation by @ylitvinenko]</ref> After Marina tells him to check his settings, he briefly types with Latin letters.
DJ_Hyperfresh > FYI - I've been using the CQ-80s coordinates to gather location data as Agent 8 passes each test.<br />
* The chat room is the first place to show the in-universe file extensions: ''.frsh'' and ''.mp8''.
DJ_Hyperfresh > This place must be deep beneath the surface. It seems to be under the influence of a powerful magnetic force...<br />
** .mp8 is a reference to the [[wikipedia:MP3|MP3 audio file format]].
DJ_Hyperfresh > Too powerful for conventional models to simulate actually. Based on the numbers I'm seeing, powerful enough to distort spacetime itself!<br />
** .frsh is derived from the word "fresh," and is also a reference to the [[wikipedia:FLAC|FLAC lossless audio format]].
DJ_Hyperfresh > Captain, have you observed any abnormalities in your surroundings there?<br />
* In the interview contained in ''[[Octotune (Splatoon 2 Original Soundtrack)|Octotune]]'', when asked what she does in her free time, [[Pearl]] mentions how she cannot stop chatting online recently, a possible reference to Marina's chat room.
CraigCuttlefish > IM0KoWrU<br />
* In the Russian localization, it is mentioned that the chat application is called ''Караська'' (Karaska). This may be a reference to the Russian chat app ''ICQ'' and carp fish.
DJ_Hyperfresh > Uh... Is that supposed to be some kind of secret code? Or did you just butt text me?<br />
* The ''[[Ebb & Flow (Demo)]]'' song file finishes with the leitmotif from ''[[Hero Mode - Onward!]]'', the short melody when a player completes a level in [[Octo Canyon (mode)|Octo Canyon]].
CraigCuttlefish > bRiTe aNd bAd<br />
* In the bonus chat log, Cap'n Cuttlefish responds to Marina's request to leave with "As you wish". This may be a reference to the 1973 fantasy romance novel [[wikipedia:The Princess Bride (novel)|The Princess Bride]].
DJ_Hyperfresh > Okay, definitely butt texting.<br />
* Cap'n Cuttlefish mentions Marina using 'the head', a nautical term for the toilet.
CraigCuttlefish > H@nGrY4sUsH-E<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Riiiiiiight...<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, it's almost like your location is in a different dimension than Inkopolis.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > As long as Agent 8 keeps passing tests, we should be able to figure out what's going on.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > We'll support you as much as we can, Agent 8. Keep it up!
</blockquote>
 
=== Session 3 ===
<blockquote>
MC.Princess > Yo how do I make the chat window full screen?<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Alt-F4<br />
■Webmaster■ > MC.Princess has left the chatroom.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Can't believe that actually worked...<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Anyway, nice work passing those tests, Agent 8.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Unfortunately, I haven't discovered anything new since our last chat log, so we're kinda stuck in the mud.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > But in the meantime, I was thinking we could get to know each other better by posting pics of ourselves!<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Here, I'll go first...<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > [[File:Octo Expansion chat session 3 image.png|500px]]<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Whoops. Wrong pic!<br />
CraigCuttlefish > now what do we have here<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Uh, it's an old picture of Pearl.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Don't tell her I said this, but Pearl is srsly the coolest.<br />
DJ_Hyperfresh > Aaaaaanyway, back to work. We'll have to save picture sharing for later.

MC.Princess > The head?<br />

Agent 8 viewing the first chat session.

Marina's chat room (stylized ♪MARINA'S CHAT★ROOM♪) is a series of chat logs available in the Octo Expansion.

During the Octo Expansion, Marina hacks into Agent 8's CQ-80 device and uploads logs of some chat sessions that she wanted to share. The chat participants are Marina (DJ_Hyperfresh), Pearl (MC.Princess), Cap'n Cuttlefish (CraigCuttlefish), and Marie (Agent 2).

Unlocking

Chat sessions are unlocked by completing specific stations, even if the player uses the "Ask for Help" option to complete the station. Stations are grouped as detailed in the table below; these groupings are used internally by the game and not shown to the player. Beating any one station in a group will unlock the next chat log. Only one chat log can be unlocked per group. Chat logs will always unlock in the same order regardless of which group the player clears.

The last chat session, labelled "Bonus Track", is unlocked by completing all 80 stations, even if the player uses the "Ask for Help" option.

Trivia

  • One of Pearl's nicknames for Marina, "DJ Cold Breakfast", is a reference to the European Splatfest from November 2017, Warm Breakfast vs. Cold Breakfast, in which Marina chose Team Cold.
  • In the English localization, Cap'n Cuttlefish's quote "No fan of hip-hop is a foe of mine, I don't see genre" and his previous quote "No fan of the Inkantation is a foe of mine, I don't see species" are cultural references to those who say "I don't see color" when talking about race relations in real life. Said people may mean well, but the phrase is generally taken as an insult to those it is spoken to, hence Pearl and Marina's less than enthusiastic reactions to the phrases.
  • The running gag where Cap'n Cuttlefish has difficulty navigating his keyboard differs depending on the language:
    • In the original Japanese version, he initially types with Latin letters, which are considered "half-width" in comparison to "full-width" Japanese characters. When Marina guides him to use full-width characters, he ends up using half-width kana instead. Later, when he starts typing with full-width characters, he does not use kanji at any time, unlike Pearl, Marina, and Marie.
    • In the Russian localization, he initially communicates with the KOI-8 codepage. This causes his text to display incorrectly, leaving Pearl unable to understand him.[1] After Marina tells him to check his settings, he briefly types with Latin letters.
  • The chat room is the first place to show the in-universe file extensions: .frsh and .mp8.
  • In the interview contained in Octotune, when asked what she does in her free time, Pearl mentions how she cannot stop chatting online recently, a possible reference to Marina's chat room.
  • In the Russian localization, it is mentioned that the chat application is called Караська (Karaska). This may be a reference to the Russian chat app ICQ and carp fish.
  • The Ebb & Flow (Demo) song file finishes with the leitmotif from Hero Mode - Onward!, the short melody when a player completes a level in Octo Canyon.
  • In the bonus chat log, Cap'n Cuttlefish responds to Marina's request to leave with "As you wish". This may be a reference to the 1973 fantasy romance novel The Princess Bride.
  • Cap'n Cuttlefish mentions Marina using 'the head', a nautical term for the toilet.
