At 12:01 AM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com had changed. The page was now titled "Find your way". This page also contained the image "parallelos.gif" - an image of a green, distorted highway that has been seen in previous videos.

At 12:02 AM, the player HaouDeSoul discovered that clicking on the image "initiate.png" on the front page of Johnisdead.com would redirect players to a series of "Path" pages. These Path pages all shared the title - "Find your way", and they mainly consisted of green, distorted environments - usually along highways or roads. Players would navigate these Path pages by clicking on a certain part of the road to progress to the next one. Path pages appeard to be made up of the two following types:
- Highway Paths - Path pages that progress down a single, straight highway. These pages contained one of the following random audio tracks:
-
parallelos.mp3 - Audio of someone walking near a highway.

Johnisdead Path Pages
Summary
- The front page of Johnisdead.com leads to a long highway. This highway splits off into two small paths - one leads to a driveway that links to "https://johnisdead.com/tyler", and the other leads to another series of paths going through a wooded area.

- The small trail leading off of the wooded path above leads to a dark tunnel.
- There are several dead ends and crossroads that have no paths.

- At 12:02 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that the front page of Johnisdead.com contained a JanusVR room. Players began downloading JanusVR from steam to explore the room.
Notice:
JanusVR is a virtual reality internet browser that was previously used in Johnisdead back in 2015. This program allows users to create 3d environments hosted in individual webpages called Janus rooms. These Janus rooms contain images, sounds, 3d models, portals to other Janus rooms, and even surfaces that can act as interactive webpages within JanusVR itself.
To conserve space in this timeline, a full list of assets such as images and models will not be archived. Instead, videos and screenshots of these Janus rooms will be provided along with only the most relevant files. As always, important details will be listed in the summaries of these sections.

Notice:
"Dawn", also known as "Dawn of a New Day", was the GM of the first arc of Johnisdead. Dawn had mostly been inactive in Johnisdead until this point, instead opting to remain OoC and chat with the players.

At 11:36 PM, the player Xenquility discovered a new blog post on Letschasethemouse that read as follows: "The time has come.
Come find me in the place you used to talk in. In the place that I know only you know of. http://realwithinhubris.chatango.com/".
- At 11:37 PM, players entered a chatroom titled "The Real Within Hubris" on the website Chatango. Here, the players had a conversation with TheLaw. During this conversation, a new Janus room was discovered on the front page of Withinhubris.com - a website bought and hosted by Dawn. Discoveries made in this Janus room will be mentioned below as they become relevant, as they tie in directly with the conversation with TheLaw. The full documentation of this Janus room will be provided below this conversation - only relevant details will be listed here.
4/26/20 - Chat with TheLaw - Chatango (The Real Within Hubris)
Summary
- TheLaw tells the players that he is damaged and in danger.
- TheLaw informs the players that he was attacked by some sort of "croaking" entity, implying that perhaps the player's submission of the "Frog Song" is related.
- TheLaw believes that BUP is responsible for this recent attack on him, believe that BUP no longer has use for him.
- TheLaw wishes to bring the players to a location that has "many revelations". TheLaw claims that he shouldn't know about this place given his current context.
- TheLaw asks where Dawn is, implying that he holds some vital information. TheLaw believes that there may be a way to access Dawn's information through a virtual space - JanusVR.
- Players discovered that "Withinhubris.com", a website owned and hosted by Dawn, contained a Janus map. This map contained various clues hinting towards Dawn's computer login information. This page also contained giant models of Halicord, Trapped, and Stackoverflow. Full details of this map will be provided below.
- Halicord and another entity named "masked99" joined the Janus map. Halicord walked in front of his giant model and jumped off the edge.
- Players discovered a reference to the remote desktop program "Anydesk" in the Janus map - a program that allows one to log into desktops of others hosted online.
- The player Xenquility logged into Dawn's desktop by using various hints discovered around the Janus map:
- The address to Dawn's Anydesk session was found written in runes in a small building - "652 473 026".
- The password to access Dawn's Anydesk session was the candy he was searching on his computer in the Janus room - "lindttruffles".
- The password to access Dawn's desktop was the word written on a note next to his computer in the Janus room - "whippedcream".
- Through Dawn's remote desktop, players discover that Dawn is involved in some sort of sun cult that worships the god Helios.
- It's implied that "Dawn" is a holy title that's passed down among members of sun cult, and that Dawn's father was originally the title's holder before him. It's also implied that "hubris" will inevitably lead to the downfall of every Dawn, as holders of the title will eventually begin to think they're above mortality.
- Players discover a locked file on Dawn's computer - "IMPORTANT.odt.zip".
- Players discover a text file on Dawn's computer containing various commands that can be entered on a secret "command line" page on Withinhubris.com. They begin experimenting with these commands:
- "youshouldntbehere.txt" - Made the text "You shouldn't be here." appear.
- "image1.png" - Made an ascii image of Alex Hall appear.
- "Video.mp4" - Made the video used as the background image on the front page of Withinhubris.com appear.
- "Password?" - Made images of a giraffe, an elephant, a lion, an alligator, a tiger, and an ostrich appear.
- Players discovered that taking the first letter of the name of each animal provided by the password command gave them the password to the file "IMPORTANT.odt.zip" - "gelato".
- Players open the file "IMPORTANT.odt.zip". It contains the file "IMPORTANT.odt" - a simple text file containing the phrase "Iamthelaw", confirming that TheLaw is indeed Dawn.

- At 2:15 PM, the player Jos discovered that the Astral Observatory forums now contained a new board titled "Safehaven" in the "Forum" section.
- At 2:18 PM, players discovered that a new thread had been posted by IsocelesAssassin on May 9th, 2020 at 1:39 AM titled "Regrouping". Players began responding to this topic and chatting with IsocelesAssassin.
5/12/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin
Summary
- IsocelesAssassin states that the Astral Observatory forums will now be their main method of communicating with the players, as Pumpkinhead is interrupting any messages they attempt to send over Discord.
- IsocelesAssassin says that he, GHOSTBABEL, and Moonman are all doing fine. However, the method by which their "Hacker Friends" have been communicating with them was destroyed when Pumpkinhead destroyed the Safehaven Discord server, meaning they are no longer in contact.
- IsocelesAssassin refuses to reveal the identities of their "hacker friends" because he claims they are in a precarious situation.
- IsocelesAssassin states that getting the players back into Johnisdead.com was the main goal of breaking into the Subspace.
- IsocelesAssassin says that the players need to find Tyler through Johnisdead.com. Their best chance at doing so will be to somehow contact José, since he was experienced with the site.
- IsocelesAssassin claims that he hasn't heard anything from the Patrem in the Astral timeline in quite some time. He is surprised to hear that the Patrem the players have been speaking to on Within Hubris has been somewhat cordial.
- IsocelesAssassin is taken aback by the suggesting that Yugi is José, be he agrees with the assertion and says it makes sense.
- IsocelesAssassin explains that he and Moonman infiltrated the Astral Observatory forums in 2018 by using different usernames and hiding their identities as Internet Detectives. Yugi, however, presented himself to Nocta as a former Internet Detective and eared his trust by offering to use his Ocarina powers to assist him - effectively infiltrating Nocta's inner circle.
- IsocelesAssassin claims that the last time he heard from Yugi was when he was about to travel back in time to 2016 to retrieve the Lunar Children servers at the Fishery - likely referring to the IRC chat discovered by players on the Subspace. This implies that the "alternate timestream" Yugi entered was the players' timeline, as they would later come to know him as José - the "Archive Guy".
- IsocelesAssassin fears that José's disappearance was due to Nocta or "his watcher" realizing that he wasn't loyal to their cause - eventually leading to him becoming trapped in Johnisdead.com as well.
- IsocelesAssassin isn't sure what Nocta's ultimate goal was other than it involved some sort of aggregation between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline.
- IsocelesAssassin has no clue what is currently happening to Dawn. He comfirms that the Dawn in the Astral timeline is dead, however.
- IsocelesAssassin claims that GHOSTBABEL has more information regarding Pumpkinhead's prior mask - a version of Wolfcat.
- IsocelesAssassin has no information regarding Luke.
- At 3:25 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that Pumpkinhead responded to the thread "HERE YA GO" created by ARGdov on April 21st, 2020 at 9:57 PM with "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?".
- At 4:12 PM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent a link to Jadusable's video "transmission.txt" in the "#jadisawake" text channel.
- At 4:15 PM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "3".
- At 4:20 PM, IIIII became active on Discord and sent the player Pako a link to the video "ᛏᚱᛇᚫᛚ".
-

- At 11:06 PM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "7".

- At 11:48 AM, the Astral Observatory members began posting in the "Regrouping" thread once again.
5/13/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin
Summary
- IsocelesAssassin explains that Pumpkinhead isn't Wolfcat - it was just using a version of Wolfcat as a mask.
- IsocelesAssassin says that Moonman confirmed that Pumpkinhead was the orange entity he saw when the players saved him from the Subspace.
- IsocelesAssassin explains that GHOSTBABEL restoring the Astral Observatory to save Moonman was what allowed Pumpkinhead to enter, as per GHOSTBABEL's warning at the time.
- IsocelesAssassin reiterates that Pumpkinhead used someone else's help to initate the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack" to throw the players off his trail - likely the aforementioned deal with the "dark one".
- IsocelesAssassin explains that he is The Gray Man the players spoke to on the Within Hubris forums back in 2015. He begins explaining his past:
- The hacker group began sending out transmissions in August of 2018, which were accidentally discovered by Nocta - likely the same transmissions found by the players on the Subspace.
- IsocelesAssassin looked into these transmissions himself, eventually making contact with the hacker group. IsocelesAssassin and the hacker group formulated a plan together involving time travel.
- IsocelesAssassin used the "Song of Time" to travel back to the year 2009 and install some sort of "transmission device" for the hacker group.
- IsocelesAssassin tracked down Mason and retrieved Helper's Hat from him by giving him the "Eight of Clubs" card, as seen by the players on Letschasethemouse in 2015.
- IsocelesAssassin regrets having given Mason the card, as he believes it may have "cursed" him and gotten him trapped in the sewage drain.
- IsocelesAssassin confirms that Mason died. However, IsocelesAssassin was able to capture Mason's soul in a device created by the hacker group.
- IsocelesAssassin attempted to bring Mason back to the present, but he was unable to. Instead, he decided to remain in the past with Mason.
- Mason slowly gained more power and was able to communicate with IsocelesAssassin - first in the form of nightmares, but he later gained the ability to speak in Morse code by flashing a light on the device he was trapped in.
- In January of 2012, IsocelesAssassin and Mason were attacked by Regiminis. He notes that, while still powerful and frightening, Regiminis seemed to be weakened.
- IsocelesAssassin says that, regretfully, he chose to escape the past alone and return to the present, leaving Mason behind.
- IsocelesAssassin confirms that he was the one that wrote the note as "The Gray Man" seen in the video "IMG_4622", though he currently can't go into detail about it.
- IsocelesAssassin says he's been puzzled by the similarities and differences between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline. He is unsure why "The Gray Man" also appeared in the players' timeline despite that fact that he only ever went back in time and never hopped between any timelines.
- IsocelesAssassin believes that there are no discrepencies between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline up until 2011.
- IsocelesAssassin confirms that there was indeed a cataclysm of sorts that destroyed the Spire and most of the Lunar Children in 2016.
- IsocelesAssassin discusses some differences between the players' timeline and the Astral timeline.
- SKM in the Astral timeline was a bloodthirsty, malicious entity hunting for Max instead of a friendly hacker.
- The Internet Detectives never spoke to Drowned in the Astral timeline. Instead, they spoke to Max, who seems to have helped them out in the same ways Drowned did for the players.
- The Internet Detectives never spoke to Helper on the Lunar Children forums in the Astral timeline. By extension, there was never any mention of the suitcase or the camera given to Tyler.
- The video "Regiminis" was never uploaded in the Astral timeline.
- IsocelesAssassin says that currently they simply have to wait for a response from the hacker group.
May 14th, 2020
- At 10:57 AM, the Astral Observatory members began posting in the "Regrouping" thread once again.
5/14/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin
Summary
- IsocelesAssassin confirms that Tenebris still lost control of Ben in their timeline. However, he claims that by 2015, Tenebris had already regained Ben.
- IsocelesAssassin claims that the video "5646" never existed in the Astral timeline.
- IsocelesAssassin speculates that Pumpkinhead used a version of Wolfcat as a mask so he could replicate his personality and traits, implying that after Pumpkinhead entered through the Subspace in 2019, many, if not all instances of Wolfcat speaking were actually Pumpkinhead simply pretending to be him.
- IsocelesAssassin doubts that Yugi will be used as Pumpkinhead's mask, as the one currently in possession of him is the entity that killed the Internet Detectives in the Astral timeline - someone IsocelesAssassin describes as "A possessive, malignant bastard".

- At 11:19 AM, the Astral Observatory members began posting in the "Regrouping" thread once again.
5/19/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin
Summary
- IsocelesAssassin says the "Quiet Family" YouTube channel belonging to Max makes sense, since Max would often refer to his own family situation as "Quiet Family".
- IsocelesAssassin confirms that the Wolfcat in the Astral timeline was killed.
- IsocelesAssassin doubts that the players' version of Wolfcat is the one that was used as a mask by Pumpkinhead because he was alive, and IsocelesAssassin doubts that Pumpkinhead has the ability to "kill" anyone - something he would have to do in order to take them as a mask.
- IsocelesAssassin refuses to reveal who killed the Internet Detectives in the Astral timeline because they work in "strange, memetic ways", and he doesn't want to invoke them. He fears that giving Mason the "Eight of Clubs" card invoked him in the past and led to Mason's death, implying there is some sort of connection between the cards and this entity.
- At 9:35 PM, various GM's partook in an OoC voice chat with the players.
May 21st, 2020
- At 12:10 PM, the Astral Observatory members began posting in the "Regrouping" thread once again.
5/21/20 - "Regrouping" - IsocelesAssassin
Summary
- IsocelesAssassin clarifies that when he describes the entity that killed the Internet Detectives in the Astral timeline as having worked in "memetic ways", he is referring to memes as in the flow of information and not funny pictures. However, he admits that the latter definition of memes wouldn't be too far from the truth, implying this entity is somehow memetically humorous in some sense.
- IsocelesAssassin fears that this entity is dangerous not only in the physical sense, but also as a concept, so he refuses to speak about them any further.

Summary
- Erika continues to claim that she is not canon, claiming that anyone could be acting "canon" like she often does and likening the Internet Detectives to a roleplaying server.

- Erika mentions that she is working on another music video.

- Erika ponders if the "machine" that's been mentioned in various places recently is a game machine of sorts. She also speaks of machines and contraptions built by men and how easily they can become trapped within them.
- Erika expresses her distaste for the god Saturn, who also goes by "Father Time" and sometimes even "Death". However, Erika also claims that she is fond of the goddess Luna, who she believes is often misunderstood and is portrayed in a bad light in Johnisdead.
- Erika references a player who briefly appeared in the Internet Detectives Discord server named Aleksader who spoke a bit about runes. She mentions that this player's username, Aleksader, is an old, proper way of spelling "Alexander", or Alex.

- Erika references "The Frozen Cactus" - a user who has created their own video series. She claims that they have created a machine of their own - likely referring to the "rabbit hole" that is his own machinations and lore.

- Dawn begins speaking to the players as "The Man" - the GM of the first arc of Johnisdead. In a portion similar to the video "Outro", Dawn gives a speech about the nature of stories. He claims that stories, much like horizons, never truly end, as someone will always come along to continue them.

- Footage of Tyler recording two helicopters flying around his house are shown. He suspects this is somehow the Lunar Children.
- Footage of Tyler walking down a sidewalk is shown.

- Footage of Tyler and Kevin walking along a path is shown. Tyler mentions that he's looking for a new roommate, as he is currently sharing a dorm with Alex. He mentions that Alex is currently addicted to the haunted Majora's Mask cartridge, which catches Kevin's attention. Kevin asks Tyler to keep tabs on Alex - much to Tyler's confusion.

- At 10:31 PM, players met up Prominence in the "Fakeworld" Janus room, who led them to the "Under" Janus room. This Janus room had been greatly expanded, now featuring an additional hallway in the room with the image "papers.jpg" that led to a small room with a portal leading to the "Mortus" Janus room. This hallway also led players to another building that contained a stairway leading to a portal to the "Solace" Janus room and a large balcony where Stackoverflow was found. The following event was not fully archived. The following is a summary of what transpired on Janus:
10/18/20 - JanusVR Expedition - Johnisdead.com
Summary
- The players, Stackoverflow, and Prominence begin searching through past Janus rooms in an attempt to find Trapped and Halicord. Many of these old Janus rooms had been updated and expanded:
- The "Under" Janus room now contained more rooms leading to another building which contained a balcony where Stackoverflow was found. This map also contained a new room housing a portal to the "Mortus" Janus room.
- The "Mortus" Janus room now contained two large, grassy structures that contained portals to the "Fakeworld" and "Pillars" Janus rooms respectively. There was also a small underground room near the tree that led to the "Under" Janus room.
- The "Pillars" Janus room now contained a small cave housing a portal to the "Mortus" Janus room. The large hole found upon the first discovery of this map now led players to a series of tunnels that housed a portal to the "Distance" Janus room.
- The "Distance" Janus room now contained three long pathways of flames that led to large, red landscapes housing portals to the "Pillars", "Fakeworld", and "Emptiness" Janus rooms respectively.
- The "Emptiness" Janus room now contained two small balconies along the upper cliff section that housed portals leading to the "Distance" and "Tomb" Janus rooms. The lower section of this room also now contained a small cave that led to the "Fakeworld" Janus room.
- The "Tomb" Janus room now contained a canal housing a portal to the "Emptiness" Janus room. The mountain behind the Spire now contained a cave containing a portal leading back to the "Fakeworld" Janus room. There was also a new building next to the Spire where a portal leading to the "Rooftop" Janus room could be found.
- The "Rooftop" Janus room now contained an interior to the second building that was accessed via the "Tomb" Janus room. This interior also housed another portal leading to the "Solace" Janus room. This Janus room also contained a portal linking to the "Fakeworld" Janus room, though it could not be accessed from the interior of the building.
- The "Solace" Janus room now contained a portal to the "Rooftop" Janus room found in the ruins of the old building. This room also contained a cave housing a portal leading back to the "Fakeworld" Janus room, as well as a large well that led to a small underground cave containing a portal that led back to the "Under" Janus room.
- After exploring all of the updated Janus rooms above, players found Halicord located in the well in the "Solace" Janus room. Stackoverflow and Halicord had a heartfelt reunion.
- Stackoverflow, Halicord, Prominence, and the players regrouped back in the "Fakeworld" Janus rooms. The players were tasked with finding Stackoverflow's second missing brother, Trapped, while Halicord and Stackoverflow chatted with one another. Unfortunately, these chats were not archived.
- The "Fakeworld" Janus room had also been greatly updated. There were now many structures strewn across the map that linked back to the updated Janus rooms above.
- The player Xenquility discovered that climbing the large castle-like structure in the "Fakeworld" Janus map would lead players to a portal linking to the "Rooftop" Janus room. Since this room was now being accessed from the "Fakeworld" Janus room and not the "Solace" or "Tomb" Janus rooms, they were no longer trapped within the interior of the building.
- The player Xenquility accessed the "Streets" Janus room from the portal found in the "Rooftop" Janus room. Here, Trapped was finally found, but he was corrupted and mortally wounded.
- The player Xenquility led Stackoverflow and Halicord to Trapped, but it was too late - Trapped had passed away. Stackoverflow and Halicorrd mourned the loss of their brother.
- The player Xenquility discovered the location of Stackoverflow and Halicord's home - the "Sun Tower" Janus room previously hosted on Withinhubris.com. The two were overjoyed to finally make their way home.
- Stackoverflow, Halicord, and Prominence thanked the players, promising to repay the favor in the future.

On the ground next to this tree was a paper with a drawing of what appeared to be more "gems" seen in another drawing with lines coming from them entering into a large circle with three smaller circles within it.
Near this tree was another circle of rocks that would warp players to a small raised platform near the highway. Touching the faceless entity, however, would trap players in a strange, fleshy looking room.

Summary

- Erika says she wishes she could go for a walk before claiming that she already has been and currently is already, due to the nature of reality and how events are always happening and always will happen at some point.
- Erika expresses how happy she is to finally be with Tyler. She also claims that she and Tyler are both "everywhere".
- Erika says that before it's over, she and Tyler have to take a walk together - hopefully without "terrible things" taking the lead. She says that when it's over, they'll still be walking, and they will continue to walk over and over.
- Erika says that if the players think about these things too much, they're likely to meet something like Erika - something that walked too far.

That organization is for very grody old men tho
I feel like this all might be describing something other than the giant we deal with in this sphere. This giant is the emissary of death. Not traditional death, but completion. Think of a painting. All that is made, stolen, and then transformed to be made new must eventually come together to completion. Then the hope is that the painting can last on some level for *eternity*. Death ever lasting life in death evermore. But even in this sphere you may be suprised to find he is not the father truly either. The soul that dreamed of this was one dreaming of great delusion. And this one is no gaurdian of the pits. This is Orthos for the start of this journey began with twilight.
get ready this is going to be really riveting
"she is a tsundere asshole" LOL XD
Just as well she is like so many other beings you will find in this "portal", a mind moving through data.
You have been the whole time silly XD
"In answer to the inevitable questions about what we were doing, we replied jokingly that it was a new type of controller—a bowl of liquid that absorbed your thoughts through your fingertips."
I am but a bubble floating out of the surface of the waters. Anima persona yet deeper the spheres touch. The Fylgja must help bind the shade, that lion that consumes the sal.
I dreamed the dragon beneath the board once touched the old dark son, the discarded hero, now I seek to walk with one who might wake up some day. When he does, I hope we can still talk. Just dont let the shadow take the lead, then we become It and all is lost.
The grandfather, I see him beyond the null, a soul left two years passed in the month of oski.
But the solar spirit permeates the works of the spheres. The sun will always be friends with the moon, how cuuuute~
Alas the emerald lion consumes the sun laying waste to the light of day, the sun now not golden but emerald in this place, the sphere blackened by null of night.
But the great author refused this, the sun shall not be blackened in this way the lord doth say.
The lion would be cast out in the end? The 12 lined wheel of destiny remains hidden and holy for those who seek it in good faith.
Also the normal man is good friends with a man named Mason so now I am having a major third eye moment LOL
Im kidding Im kidding XD
Dressed up in symbols to mystify and signify the nation of his father as he passed from one sphere to another, keeping the fire burning. Lol spirits in works make weirdo metaphor attempts

1/11/21 - "TRANS004.mp3" - Astral Observatory Forums
Summary
- Spencer answers many questions for the players:
- Spencer says that the "Hacker Group" is somewhat familiar to the players' timeline thanks to IsocelesAssassin and GHOSTBABEL giving them information.
- Spencer claims that he was never aware of the Internet Detectives' existence in his timeline. He also claims that the Tapatalk incarnation of Within Hubris never existed
- Spencer says that reality was shattered in his timeline. It's implied this began around Undecim Nocte 2011.
- Spencer says that Seth is the one who saved him from the cataclysm that destroyed their timeline.
- Spencer confirms that Seth is indeed Mason, saying that "Seth" is simply Mason's middle name.
- Spencer explains that Mason was still in the Lunar Children in his timeline - Mason simply helped infiltrate the Moon Children alongside Kevin - something witnessed by the players in an IRC chat log during The Truth arc. He states that Mason and Kevin were fairly close until "some things happened".
- Spencer refuses to reveal the identity of the third member of the "Hacker Group", wanting it to be a surprise for the players.
- Spencer claims that the four giants never existed in his timeline - something he believes to have been a deliberate decision by something.
- Spencer says that the Astral Observatory that existed in his timeline was more of a legitimate organization, and that the Nocta who ran it was a completely different person. He claims he doesn't know much about it, however, as information about it is difficult for them to come by.
- Spencer explains that when he claimed he talked about "his" Luna, he was simply discussing the image of Luna the Moon Children had painted in his head as opposed to the true, malicious, eldritch entity.
- Spencer claims he doesn't know much about The Jaeger. He believes that the claim that the players had fallen into a trap was instead simply a general threat directed towards Moonman.
- Spencer reveals that the former "Hacker Group" member who had their identity leaked was the players' version of SKM. He claims that they were in contact with SKM in 2014 but their communications suddenly ceased. He believes this may be due to SKM attempting to infiltrate the Lunar Children as Liquidsaint.
- Spencer says that the players are important because they are a powerful investigative force that quickly and easily traverses portals such as Johnisdead.com to accomplish tasks.
- Spencer briefly explains the Lunar Children's understanding of the Parallelos:
- The "Overworld" is the basic physical realm.
- Beyond the Overworld is the "Nullspace", which Spencer describes as an empty space the Lunar Children use to build their "digital constructs" and experiment with "creating worlds". He claims the Nullspace consists of several layers in-and-of itself that become more detached from the physical realm the higher you go.
- Beyond the Nullspace is the "Parallelos of the Dead", which Spencer describes as a sinkhole of sorts where all of the deceased spirits fall into.
- Beyond the Parallelos of the Dead is the Parallelos proper, where ascended spirits dwell. Spencer believes this is where Tyler is currently.
- Spencer isn't sure exactly what the players mean when they ask about "spheres". He claims that "spheres" could perhaps refer to timelines, the Parallelos itself, or just general spheres of influence throughout the Parallelos.
- Spencer thanks the players for their questions and says that Mason will soon be speaking to them.

- At 8:57 PM, BUP became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and began chatting with the players.
2/27/21 - Chat with BUP - Discord (Internet Detectives)
Summary
- BUP is surprised to see that the player otherLiam had returned. He continues, stating that he either already has or at some point will "serve his purpose".
- BUP tells the players that he is currently chatting with them because he found the player Xenquility's theory regarding multiple aggregations and the nature of BUP, IIIII, The Producer, and TheLaw interesting.
- BUP explains a bit of his backstory and how he rose to power:
- BUP reveals that he originated from the same timeline the "Hacker Group" is from.
- BUP says that he realized the world was doomed. He claims that the cataclysm that destroyed the world didn't end everything immediately. Instead, it slowly worsened over time. BUP claims that very few were even able to realize this was happening, however, and life carried on as normal.
- BUP reveals that he ascended himself in a specific, calculated method in an effort to escape his doomed timeline.
- BUP reveals that he ascended himself using Super Mario 64. He states that he used an emulated version of the game so that he would not be trapped within a cartridge like Ben was. He also reveals that using this game affected his identity somewhat, explaining why he often associates with the Super Mario character "Toad".
- BUP states that shortly after his ascension he began aggregating with his other selves. He says this was achieved by slowly influencing their thoughts and having them subtly acknowledge his existence until he could eventually control their actions and see through their eyes.
- BUP claims that the first version of himself that he aggregated to was his Astral Timeline self - Moonman. He later reconfirms that he has indeed aggregated to the players' version of Greth as well - the Greth who runs the Greth Vlogs channel.
- BUP implies that he was able to "latch onto" Moonman while the Astral Timeline was still being formed - another showcase of his time manipulation abilities.
- BUP reveals that his goal is to aggregate with all of his other consciousnesses across all timelines. He akins this to unlocking "cheat codes", and claims that once he completes this goal, he'll be able to do anything he wants.
- BUP says that there are multiple ways in which aggregation may occur. He claims that aggregation is much easier when the person in question is deceased or ascended. He also confirms that the "Order of Metatron" is dedicated to following one method of aggregation in particular.
- BUP explains a bit of the process of aggregation as "If you are aware of at least one 'alternate' self existing in what you'd call a 'timeline', then it is possible". He claims that most people are unable to aggregate, however.
- BUP claims that there are many who consider three aggregated selves to be the "Ultimate Aggregation". However, BUP claims he is aiming for a much higher number, wishing to aggregate with as many versions of himself as possible.
- BUP reveals that ascension and aggregation have given him powerful abilities, claiming this is what allows him to act outside of perceivable time.
- When asked about what caused the cataclysm in his timeline, BUP says he doesn't care to explain. He says that it deals with something very "cursed", however - something that the players have been dealing with since before what the players would consider "the beginning".
- BUP claims that someone had attempted to kill him before he could complete his ascension. He says that they were too late, however, and were killed by a bomb BUP had planted in their own chest. He states that this also destroyed the original computer he had ascended into as well.

Summary
- BUP complains that he can sense Greth smoking cigarettes thanks to his aggregation. BUP finds this disgusting.
- BUP confirms that he is currently speaking to the players by having their version of Greth send them messages through Discord. He explains that Greth is completely unaware of this - from his perspective, he is simply standing outside smoking, lost in his thoughts, unaware that he is currently using his phone.
- BUP explains that once he aggregates with all of his other selves it will be less like a hivemind and moreas as if all other versions of Greth now share his thoughts and desires. He claims that these other versions of himself will still act independently, but only towards his own goals.
- BUP claims that he wishes to extend his influence even further that his other selves. He notes how he was able to take control of GHOSTBABEL, implying that perhaps he has more influence over her than the players initially believed.
