Story (Full) 24

The story so far...
In the previous section, the players discovered a new website - Astralobservatory.net. On the surface, this site appeared to be a simple blog and message board where users could discuss conspiracy theories and supernatural phenomena. However, closer inspection implied that it may hold some connection to the Lunar Children...
First, Astralobservatory.net seemed to hold some connection to Johnisdead.com. Not only was it one of Johnisdead.com's redirect links, but the site also supposedly went offline when Johnisdead.com stole its bandwidth. Additionally, the site's owner, Nocta, was a very secretive individual. He claimed to have some sort of special knowledge regarding the nature of our world that he would only share to a select few. This information was supposedly locked away in a private board on the Astral Observatory Forums - "The Truth". Only those that Nocta deemed worthy and trustful were given access to this board.
Unfortunately, as soon as the players joined the website, Nocta immediately recognized them as members of the Internet Detectives. Not only was this a further hint that he was somehow connected to the Lunar Children - it also meant that the players would have an exceptionally difficult time gaining his trust in order to access The Truth... Thankfully, the players still had access to the rest of the forums. Here, the met the eccentric members of the Astral Observatory. These included a bubbly anime fan named Yuukichan, a conspiracy theorist named NotAHoax, and the board's resident troll - Moonman. There was also another user who had not made any posts yet - Samuel Charleston. According to Yuukichan, Samuel was an old man who sadly did not have any family left.
Meanwhile, Tyler hosted a livestream where he revealed some important information. Over the past few months he found some interesting objects. These included a red, demonic mask with the letter "R" on it, a familiar looking gas mask, and a photo of Hank and Diana from 1990. He also claims to have lost the Bullet Necklace not too long ago. However, halfway through this stream, Tyler leaves to check on a noise. While he's gone, SKM enters his room and returns the Bullet Necklace. While doing so, he implies that Max's soul now somehow resides inside of it. SKM then takes the gas mask before leaving.
Over time, the more sinister side of the Astral Observatory began making itself shown. As Yuukichan and NotAHoax revealed that they both had traumatic interactions with supernatural phenomena in the past and that Nocta's guidance was helping them "find their truths". However, it's far more likely that Nocta is simply exploiting their pasts in order to gain loyal followers for some nefarious purpose... Though the Astral Observatory members were courteous to the players, it was clear that their loyalty to one another was steadfast, meaning it was unlikely that the players would be able to access The Truth any time soon. Things became much more concerning when Nocta shared what appeared to be some sort of dangerous ritual.
However, the players discovered that they did have one ally - Moonman, who was now contacting them in private and giving them key details. Whether or not he was willing to continue to divulge more information was yet to be seen...

Story
On November 12th, 2018, Moonman continued casually chatting on the Astral Observatory Forums. First, he shared a song he enjoyed in the "G O O D MUSIC" thread.

This seems to imply that Moonman was an avid Vaporwave fan...
Afterwards, Moonman posted in a thread created by the player Jos titled "Ok, this is important.". For context, the creation of this thread was another plan concocted by the players. Within it, the player Jos would fabricate some sort of supernatural scenario that he was supposedly going through. This was an attempt to connect further with the members of the Astral Observatory, seeing how they had all experienced strange occurrences in the past...
Ok, this is important.
Ok, this is important.

Today, officially, I've lost contact with every physical person I've ever meet that I had a social interaction with, all my family, gone, friends, gone, know people, they don't even remember me, no one of them. At some point one of them threated me, with calling the police because they didn't know the name of my mother, brother, etc. This... This is getting ridiculus. I'm so alone... At least i have you guys... Idk if ghost aliens or whatever, i just want to... Know the truth behind all of this. i'm walking down the street right now, and using the last drops of internet my mobile company provides. I will go, idk, i will try to survive I guess...

If I am honest with you, I don't know of many days has passed, i would say a week ago I left my house because the ambience was like super super hostile, i was afraid, this is the only place for entertaining I have. I'm afraid if I go live somewhere else people will do the same, so, I'm just a nomad on the road.

Actually, I think that the most important thing right now is finding a hostage or something. And if it even sounds bad, you need to ensure if this could happen you again. We'll help you out dude.

Honestly dude if you are serious, you could contact the police, depending on how much you trust them.

In the thread above, the player Jos creates a fake story in which none of his family, friends, or relatives recognize him. In response, Moonman simply suggests that Jos should go to the police for help. He also calls the player AMGain an edgelord for his strange suggestion that Jos should take a hostage... (However, it would later be revealed that this was simply a poor translation on AMGain's part.)
Shortly afterwards, a new user joined the Astral Observatory Forums - "Kaiden_Zoromichi".

Kaiden seems to be a returning user of the Astral Observatory who was a member before the forums were wiped in October. While most of the users greet him fondly, Moonman doesn't seem too pleased. It appears that Moonman and Kaiden have some distaste for one another - though nothing too serious, presumably. Interestingly, Kaiden claims that the older version of the Astral Observatory Forums had a "Roleplay" board. However, he and Yuukichans were the only ones actively using it.
Many Internet Detectives began drawing parallels between Kaiden and one of their fellow players - Mugen Kagemaru. This was most likely intentional and done as a joke as the Astral Observatory Forums seemed to parody various aspects of Within Hubris.
Not long after his introduction post, Kaiden responded to the player Jos's thread from earlier:

In the thread above, Kaiden claims that he's gone through a situation similar to the one being described by the player Jos... However, Moonman explains that Kaiden is likely simply referring to a roleplay he once had. He says that Kaiden has a rather elaborate roleplay character with a ton of on-going lore. Most of this lore was supposedly catalogued on the forums before they were wiped in October. Kaiden implies that he's willing to share his roleplay character's backstory once again at some point. However, he also seems very annoyed by the players' presence and impatience...
Meanwhile, the player Wolfcat continued messaging Moonman in PM's, hoping to get some more information from him. He sent the following question in regards to Nocta's true nature:
Are you all aware of what he is?
That's a question. I told you not to ask questions, but fine. How about this?
Ask me three questions that I can answer with a simple yes or no. But i promise nothing
Is Nocta the same Kevin who was at times known as Regiminis?
In a way, yes.
Was the footage in Nocta's video recorded after 2015?
Yes.
Does Nocta often wear a shiny alien mask?
No idea.
Here, Moonman gives the players some very interesting information. He claims that Nocta is indeed Kevin - at least "In a way". What exactly he means by this is unknown, though. He also confirms that the footage shown in Nocta's video that features what appears to be a ritual was taken after 2015. This was somewhat concerning as many players believed that they could see Tyler in this clip... Unfortunately, it was too difficult to make out to be sure. Regardless, what exactly this ritual was is still a mystery. Moonman also isn't sure whether or not Nocta is The Watcher - the figure seen in some of Greth's videos wearing an alien mask.
Later on, Moonman sent the players the following message:
I may be interested in chatting further, but it needs to be away from here, and no where that eyes know of- not your discord or skype groups, you boys have advertised those too frequently.
Would a newly created discord server work?
The only people in it are about five others that I closely trust - other Internet Detectives who are on these forums.
should work just fine
Moonman was offering to give the players more information if they could provide him with a secure location to do so. In response, the players created the "Safehaven Discord Server" - a Discord server that contained only a few select players that were deemed trustworthy.
On November 13th, 2018, Moonman joined the Safehaven Discord server and began chatting with the players.
eyy
hi
So you may know us, but hi, I'm dense
he goes by a different name on the forums, but yeah
yeah I know
so lemme just come right out and ask - whose this nocta fella?
I mean he’s apparently Kevin but that doesn’t really line up with what we’ve heard
If I am gonna be honest I don’t know how to answer that any differently than I have
How long have you been in the forums?
since the beginning
How long would that be? It sounded like the Astral Observatory has been around for a little while since before the “hacker attack” from JiD
yeah. depends on who you ask tbh although for me i would say since july
Moonman claims that he's been a member of the Astral Observatory since they were created - July of 2018. Also, he's unfortunately unable to give any more information regarding how exactly Nocta is Kevin...
How do you exactly know about Greth, Moon?
well I can’t really tell you that
specifically I am unable to, physically
which sounds fucking gay but I promise is true
Wait moon, where are you from?
bear with me buddy truthfully
and this is gonna sound hella gay
I can only answer what I am allowed to
It seems as though Moonman is physically unable to answer certain questions. Though the reason for this is unknown, it's most likely supernatural in nature...
I don’t really buy the whole “Johnisdead.com stealing bandwidth” story
Do you know anything about what’s going on with that or nah?
brb, and no not in a spooky way
in like a "this is gonna take a while i can tell" and "i'm hungry" way
so brb
rip this nigga
For someone so self aware, he sure did say the forbidden phrase
as long as he doesn’t say "brb someones knocking on my door"
hehe
ok
what forbidden phrase
"brb" I think
oh
wow
so im not allowed to pee
you’re especially not allowed to pee
ok crystal
i honestly can’t tell if you are upset right now
if you are, i am very sorry, that was a joke
i am really upset you should apolo- oh ok
i was kidding actually
lmao
you are free to pee whenever you like
I dont think thats necessarily true but I appreciate the sentiment
After some light piss banter, the players resume asking questions:
I am going to ask the forbidden question, get ready
What is in the truth?
ha
that would be really easy huh
Figured it was at least worth a shot, lol
Can you tell us anything about this Samuel dude?
samuel is an older fella who posts on the forums
he still hasnt posted anything it seems like
Idk why honestly
he just hasn’t been around i guess
yeah, seems like users are still trickling in
like this cool kaiden dude
yeah he’s an edgelord
Sadly, Moonman isn't able to reveal what is inside The Truth. He also doesn't have much to say regarding Samuel, either - only that he hasn't been around lately.
If you can’t say anything about Kevin, then do you know anything about a Kayd Hendricks you can tell us about?
let me put it this way
I know plenty about ben drowned if you want to call it that.
who would’ve guessed it was all real
shit it all started with 4chan honestly
fuck that place.
Hey let’s play a game
Wolf, say some names and maybe he knows something
uh, alright
Tyler
Matt
Jacob
ok this is, uh, a weird way to have a conversation pal
what if I just started yelling names at you
but yes, tyler was in the video
I know of them
I know them
I know all of you
Moonman reveals that he's much more familiar with the players and their situation than they realize. He knows about the story surrounding Ben and the Moon Children. He knows about Tyler, Mat, and Jacob. He's even aware of who the players are. He also reveals that Tyler was indeed in Nocta's footage, meaning that Tyler took part in some sort of ritual after 2015 and Nocta has a recording of it...
what was even happening in the video honestly? it looked like a ritual
at first I thought it was something that was recorded back when Tyler still had his dudes, but apparently not
I dont know
but let me also say the rest of the forum does not know about the history of all this
at least to my knowledge, only nocta and I do
the others are innocent in this... again, to my knowledge
you should also know i am not strictly on your side
I am here because I need to have some control
of?
things
I’m guessing you’re referring to how you physically can’t talk about certain things?
sort of
I’m assuming that’s related to Nocta?
no
Since you seem to know quite a bit about all this, I’m guessing you probably saw Tyler’s stream a week or two ago?
yeah
do you know anything about that spooky chooky red mask he found?
no
damn
thanks for answering our awkward questions the best you could, tho
im sure more will crop up as we remember them
sure
Moonman clarifies that only he and Nocta know much about the Moon Children, Ben's story, and the players. Kaiden, Yuukichan, and NotAHoax are largely unaware of it. Additionally, he clarifies that Nocta isn't responsible for whatever is restricting him from speaking about certain things. However, the reason why he's now seeking out the players isn't because he's suddenly 100% on their side - he's simply seeking some degree of control over this strange supernatural restriction that he's be placed under.
So, to summarize the above...
Moonman and Nocta are both well aware of the Lunar Children, the Moon Children, and the players. However, the other members of the Astral Observatory are not. Unfortunately, there are some things that Moonman is unable to talk about. It seems as though some sort of supernatural force is physically preventing him from divulging certain information. He claims that Nocta is not responsible for this, leaving the reasoning behind it a mystery...
Moonman also claims that he is not fully on the players' side - he's mainly chatting with them simply because it gives him some degree of power and freedom from whatever supernatural force is restricting him.
Meanwhile, the players began concocting another plan. Since Nocta was already well aware of who they all were, they decided they should attempt a different approach. The player ARGdov would introduce himself on the Astral Observatory Forums and pretend as though he were no longer an active member of the Internet Detectives. Hopefully this would be enough to potentially begin gaining Nocta's trust...
After the player ARGdov posted his introduction, he received the following PM from Nocta:
What game is it you play, ARGDov?
I would like to know.
I've been told you haven't been with the Detectives for some time.
To put it simply, I'm trying to find answers just like anyone else here.
I was with Internet Detectives for a considerable ammount of time, it's true, but I left for a number of reasons which would be too complicated to enumerate here.
To put it simply, the number of unreconcilable differences I had with most of the members eventually made me feel I had to leave.
Not to mention, I've encountered some strange stuff with them - stuff which no one in the group was able to explain.
I was looking for answers and it seemed there approach wasn't garnering the results I was looking for, so there seemed no point in staying with them.
With that said, I did get wind of this place from an old contact of mine who's part of the group (I don't believe he's joined yet though I haven't asked for certain).
Despite there presence here the forum itself did sound promising, provided I was allowed to work on my own.
The detectives are slow and often times come to rather poor conclusions, to the point that they've put people at risk in the past as well.
I want answers and they clearly aren't going to be of any help. They've tried to save lives and have failed, and I question at times wether those lives were worth saving.
How far does your curiosity go?
I want to know to put it simply, "the truth". Not the nebulous thing that ID constantly yammer about but really and truly, the truth.
I don't know what you have to do with Johnisdead or any of the cults that the detectives have encountered (if you have any connection at all in the first place), but it seems you know something worthwhile.
I've encountered so many bizarre things, even before joining ID. Some of it seemed to point to the moon cults, and I guess specifically 'Luna', whoever she really is - another of my many questions.
I'm not so quick to dismiss the claims of the MC or the LC.... those groups certainly have power, power which isn't natural.
You told the members here that they should try and change the ID's minds about something, I'd like to know what that "something is" and what they're wrong about
If I may ask, who are you, anyways? You seem to know a bit more about me than I do about you.
I'm convinced that ID are putting people at risk by interfering and that they're attempts to learn the truth have lead them to come to inaccurate conclusions.
I don't trust the few allies they made when I was with them, and I feel you can clear things up.
((Nocta asks the player ARGdov if he would like to become friends.))
((The player ARGdov says that he would.))
Just keep an open mind to possibilities and we will get along well.
It seems as though the players' plan had worked. Nocta and the player ARGdov were getting along quite nicely. Hopefully, over time, he might just be given access to The Truth...
On November 19th, 2018, the players continued chatting with Moonman:
hey mane, how are you doing
pretty stoned
Thats good
Anyways, how is things going over there?
I just want to check, are you unable to speak because of an non-physical force?
I think someone just swats his keyboard away when he’s about to answer us
It is hard to explain
It is a spooky-ooky thing
have you ever met the other AO members in person?
or is it just strictly an online thing?
I’ve met others in person
whom lol
ur mom
goteem
Moonman can't really elaborate on the supernatural force that's preventing him from speaking - he only describes it as "a spooky-ooky thing". Additionally, he claims to have met other members of the Astral Observatory in person, implying that the group has some degree of an IRL presence and isn't strictly online.
The players continued chatting with Moonman into November 20th, 2018.
mind if I ask you about a couple of other dudes you may know?
sure
do you know anything about Thomas? ryukaki’s old friend?
I know jackshit about Thomas tbh
nocta - he would know about thomas
Sadly, Moonman doesn't know anything about Kayd's friend - Thomas. However, he claims that Nocta would probably know something about him... This is likely a reference to the fact that Nocta shares the same last name as Kayd - "Hendricks".
Alright, how about some kid named Hunter?
Hunter Jarvis?
Anything I know about Hunter was from what Jarilo told me
yeah, the Jarvis kid
so you actually spoke to jeremy too?
Uh yeah a few years back
damn, so you had an account on the LC forums?
Nah, on skype
the last we spoke to Jeremy was in 2016
well, actually extremely early 2017 to be precise
he was in a weird situation to say the least
dead? yeah.
You met Jeremy?
No, we spoke online.
Wait, but...
Why did you talk?
Because.
I was a "detective" back then.
Alright, so since you probably are unable to answer directly, maybe you can answer this...
Have you ever read this book?
Yes.
To everyone's surprise, Moonman reveals that he was a member of the Internet Detectives back in 2016. During this time, he chatting with Jeremy over Skype alongside the others during the return of Youshouldnthavedonethat.
Moonman also confirms that he's read the exact same book that Greth was seen holding in the video "never sleeping" - "Moon Magic". This implies that Moonman is actually Greth. However, this was deeply confusing... The last time the players saw Greth, he was possessed by Patrem. On top of that, Moonman claims he's been a member of the Astral Observatory since July of 2018, even though Greth himself never made any mention of the group in any of his videos. Also, Moonman wasn't talking to the players in the same way that Greth would - he's almost treating them like neutral strangers...
On November 22nd, 2018, some activity took place in the player CelestialLight's thread titled "Spirit World".
Spirit World
Spirit World
by CelestialLight » November 5th, 2018, 1:08 pm
I Believe in this, but don't really know if others feel the same. It's a place, that is called the spirit world were spirits come from, to this realm. They say when the veil is thin on Halloween that the veil between worlds open, to where the spirits can come through, i believe that really happens. I hope, i don't seem crazy believing in that. Because, i can feel the spiritual connection grow stronger, through energy on Halloween. Because, when you go outside and feel the air, it feels different more spookier.

It seems that at certain times under some circumstances. You can feel things in different ways. It does not depend so much on whether the connection is active. I feel that it depends on some actions in the physical world that activates the transition between the two worlds. some associate the lunar stages, or the level of the sea. even astrological phenomena to the changes. but there is much mysticism around the subject of the spiritual world.

Surprisingly, Yuukichan casually namedrops the "Parallelos", implying that the members of the Astral Observatory possess some degree of knowledge about it... This might suggest that Nocta is incorporating some of the Lunar Children's beliefs into whatever he's telling his followers.
On November 24th, 2018, players discovered that Astralobservatory.net was offline. A few hours later, the site returned - now featuring a new announcement:
Website temporarily down, but we’re back.
November 24, 2018 - News
Today we had a small DDOS attack on our servers. This caused our account to be temporarily suspended. It would be easy to say it was the “Internet Detectives”, but I can’t be sure that is the case. It would be inappropriate of us to try and assume anything in this instance, so we will move forward, as we have always planned
Here, Nocta addresses the fact that the site briefly went offline. He claims that this was due to a DDOS attack on their servers. Though he claims that he isn't sure that the players were responsible for this, he still plants this idea in the heads of his followers... Also, a few keen players notices that this post had a few out-of-place letters that were bolded. Putting these letters together spelled out the phrase "HE IS TRAPPED". Shortly afterwards, players discovered that this was the name of a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/heistrapped.html". This page contained a distorted image of Greth titled "trapped.gif" and an alternate version of the Astral Observatory theme from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask titled "astral.mp3". Additionally, this audio hid the text "what do you think you can do to save them".
Meanwhile, back on the Astral Observatory Forums, the player Jos created a thread to discuss the recent DDOS attack:
Page suspended
Page suspended
by Jos » November 24th, 2018, 2:37 pm
They don't want us to find the truth. There is nothing wrong with AO.net, so why would they suspend the page? Because the gov want to hide stuff or anything threatening their veil.

Unfortunately, it seems that Nocta's subtle suggestion that the players were responsible for the DDOS attack has worked - at least on Kaiden... He's now more suspicious of the players than ever.
If that weren't bad enough, the players suddenly had a surprise visitor arrive in the Safehaven Discord server - Nocta himself.
I have seen the most incredible light
It would be easy to assume you could change anything, but you can’t
Why do you insist on this?
Really
Because is the right thing to do, doing otherwise would be illogical.
What is right?
What exactly are you after?
What are you after?
Keeping our friends safe and uncovering the truth
So, you think infiltrating my forums and worrying my friends is the way to do it?
We don’t mean any ill will among the forum goers, but it’s clear that this is all connected, and there is definitely something fucked up going on beneath the surface.
If they are worried, then they probably have reason to be.
Look, on the off-chance that you aren’t in league with that cult, I promise you we mean no harm to your friends.
However, we have more than enough evidence that proves you and your website is at least connected to it.
All things are easy to believe when you have only been spoonfed information from one side of the story
That being said, you assume too much
Nocta questions the players' motivations and accuses them of worrying his friends. He also claims that they have only been given one side of the story and assume too much.
The conversation continued into November 26th, 2018.
Alright, it's time to clear some things up.
what are you doing?
No one here is enemies with one another.
Idiot
Can't you just let it go?
No.
Nocta, I think we need to clarify stuff, lets sit down, and lets talk cool
Ha.
I will see you all around.
Nocta is understandably upset with Moonman going behind his back to collaborate with the players. After this, Nocta left the Safehaven Discord server...
He is like "you are the bad guys oooo" so lets talk about it nocta and he is like "no0o0o0"
That's not actually how the whole situation is.
Actually, my life might be in danger at this point.
But I can reveal some things I could not before
The more you discover the more I can reveal it seems.
Moonman implies that the situation with Nocta is a bit more complex than the players realize... Additionally, he reveals a strange quirk regarding whatever supernatural force is keeping him from speaking. He claims that the more things the players discover, the more he can discuss.
I need to know who is all in this chat right now.
We have Wolfcat, me, Circlehunter, Dense, Glad Mans, Bianca, and Raven
I believe there may be a spy among our ranks
You guys were right about some times and wrong about others.
You were right about Greth.
Well, he is probably Nocta.
The Johnisdead page points to to it and have bunch of evidence.
Greth is not Nocta, at least not as far as I know.
I am Greth.
But here's the fucked up thing - I don't know you guys and I never made those videos on Greth Vlogs
And that person on the front page of Johnisdead.com isn't me either.
Even though that's Greth.
It sounds to me like some stupid magic shit is going on - more time bullshit
Back when YSHDT.net was up, a lot of strange things were happening with various timelines converging into one another
Maybe this is still happening somehow, as crazy as that sounds
Moonman confirms that he is Greth. However, he seems to be a different Greth from the one that the players are familiar with... Moonman doesn't remember these versions of the players and he never made Greth Vlogs. The players begin speculating that Moonman might be a Greth from a separate timeline - similar to how many different timelines were involved during Youshouldnthavedonethat.net's return during the previous arc.
Moonman also believes that there may be a spy among the Internet Detectives, though he doesn't reveal his reason behind this... Additionally, he confirms that Nocta is not Greth.
There's a lot of dark shit happening on Astral Observatory
And I'm frustrated because it might be too late for me to stop it
Do you know if there’s any possible way for us to access The Truth?
No. They changed the password and now I'm locked out too.
I remember the old one though. It was "pqbxhtlopa".
the shit that was on jid.com
That means...
Try the current title
"The timer won't reset"
What timer are you talking about?
it was a page in jid
just a reference tho
It just reminded me of something is all
Looks like Nocta's deleted a post since I've been locked out.
Moonman says that Nocta has changed the password to "The Truth" board, locking him out of it. The reveals that the old password was "pqbxhtlopa" - two words that recently appeared on Johnisdead.com. In response, the players attempt to use another phrase recently found on the site as the password - "The timer won't reset". Unfortunately, this doesn't work. However, Moonman claims that the phrase seems familiar... Also, Nocta now seems to be deleting some things inside of The Truth, implying that he's now ramping up his security and secrecy.
Just to be absolutely sure here, you were around for jadusable and posted the new wave bossa nova, right?
Or was that this other greth?
Yeah, I remember submitting that back then
It seems that our two timelines are similar - up to a certain point, at least
Moonman confirms that he made many of the same submissions that the Greth in our timeline did. Additionally, he states that our two timelines appear to be very similar - at least up until a certain point.
After this, Moonman suddenly began acting strange...
Kevin, Tyler, Tenebris
save please tyler
no save please
tylers
STOP IT
EVERYTHING IS TYLER AND NOTHING IS TYLE-
t\
he
is
During Moonman's sudden outburst, the players noticed that he reacted to one of his previous messages with an alien emoji. For context, "Emoji Reactions" is a feature on Discord that allows users to place emojis beneath messages - both new and old. The fact that Moonman was using an alien emoji seemed to imply that The Watcher was currently attacking him somehow and was responsible for this strange outburts.
In response, the player Wolfcat submitted an image of the Bow and Arrow item from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, hoping to ward off The Watcher. A few minutes later, Moonman returned.
I feel ok for now
what did you do?
Can you tell us who he is? Do you know? The man with the alien mask?
The what
The man with the alien mask?
Was he not the one who was just hurting you?
I don’t know what does that
Let's see if this works?
(("Epona's Song" from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is submitted.))
???
Wait, are you-
god, I'm-
hold on
someone is at the door
wait no
don't pull this
dude you KNOW this never ends up well
too late
Strangely, Moonman seems to have no knowledge of The Watcher - despite the fact that he was presumably just attacked by him... Regardless, the players were able to successfully fend him off. Unfortunately, the sudden submission of "Epona's Song" caused someone to begin knocking on Moonman's door. Shortly afterwards, he gets up to open it, leaving the chat.
Thankfully, Moonman returned only a few hours later, seemingly unharmed...
I have returned for now
What happened?
Someone came over and... idk I felt like I had to go with them
you dont remember who?
of course I do
who were they then lol
no one of importance
idk I feel weird tbh
I feel like I have to go somewhere
but I don't know where
Moonman explains that he briefly left with "someone of no importance". However, the situation surrounding his sudden departure is still strange. Also, he still feels the need to go somewhere, though she isn't sure where or why... Either way, Moonman is safe for the time being - though he's still likely viewed as a traitor in Nocta's eyes...

Here, Kaiden once again expresses his disdain for Moonman.
Afterwards, the holidays came and went with little to no activity. It wasn't until January 11th, 2019 that the players saw another update - this time in the form of a new video on Greth Vlogs titled "Escape p.2".
Description
You weren't supposed to have this
<--- Click for Video Transcript
The video begins with someone driving through a wooded area. A man and a woman begin talking though neither of their faces can be seen. The male voice sounds like it belongs to Greth. It is a bit difficult to make out what they are saying.
Woman: "What are you doing?"
Man: "Making a video."
Woman: "Yeah/Now? It's gonna be on this next... (Unintelligible)"
Man: (Unintelligible)
The video then cuts to a recording of a wooded area. It appears to be a park as a picnic table can be seen. The video cuts again to the man crossing a wooden bridge. A sign that reads "Davis Creek Trail" is in shot. The video cuts many more times of the man walking along the trail, though nothing of interest can be seen. The video ends with the man looking at a creek when suddenly a loud static sound is heard as a pixelated image of Moonman flashes on screen.
Summary
- This video seemingly contains footage of a woman driving Greth to a nature trail.
- Near the end of the video, the footage suddenly glitches as an image of Moonman appears.
This video contains footage of a woman driving Greth to what appears to be a nature trail. Its title seems to suggest that this is a sequel to "Escape" - the video that featured Greth leaving on a plane to presumably go hiking. However, the details surrounding this are still a bit unclear... Regardless, Greth arrives at the nature trail and crosses over a bridge. As he walks through the trail, he video suddenly corrupts as an image of Moonman appears. This coupled with the description seems to suggest that Moonman himself is somehow responsible for recovering and uploading this footage.
On January 21st, 2019, Yuukichan created a new thread on the Astral Observatory Forums - "Haunted houses".

In the thread above, Yuukichan claims that she's recently visited a haunted house. However, she says that this wasn't just any house, seemingly implying that it held some significance. This might suggest that this was actually Yuukichan's childhood home where here mother wrote on the walls... Though she remains rather vague, she claims that something took place that "awakened me further to The Truth in ways I never hoped to" and that it was an eye opening experience. She says that she took some photos of her old home but the files aren't accessible at the moment.
On January 27th, 2019, she continued chatting in the thread above:

Unfortunately, it seems that Yuukichan's photos have become corrupted. Interestingly, she claims that she wishes she could simply will things into existence... However, some players noticed that the letter "I" in the word "existence" was actually a link. Clicking on this link would redirect players to a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/hh.html". This page was titled "case file" and contained the image "hh.gif", which contained many different photos of an empty house flashing by. This page also contained the audio "mater.mp3", which is Latin for "Mother".
These are very likely the same photos that Yuukichan took. Additionally, the "Mother" referenced on this page is likely referring to Yuukichan's mother. All of this seems to imply that, for whatever reason, Yuukichan unknowingly holds some degree of control over Johnisdead.com...
On January 30th, 2019, some more casual discussion took place on the Astral Observatory Forums.
In one thread created by the player Mercury, the players got into a heated argument surrounding the topic of time travel. Eventually, Kaiden joined the discussion and posted the following:

Here, the player Jos shares some fanart of Yuukichan, earning some praise from both her and Kaiden, who seems to be searching for an artist... Also, the player CelestialLight reveals that she's relatively good friends with Yuukichan.
On January 31st, 2019, the players discovered that the Greth Vlogs account had posted the following comment on the video "Escape p.2". Around this same time, the channel's avatar changed to a distorted photo of Greth:
Greth Vlogs
"Upon several worlds did these men stumble, each world only slight less and more than the last. Inviting themselves into these folds allowed their conscious too see her."
This quote is likely referring to people stumbling upon the various different Parallelos and potentially witnessing Luna.
Casual discussion on the forums continued on "February 1st, 2019. In a thread titled "The Hidden Truth", the player CelestialLight discussed the possibility that the government was hiding something from the public. Later on, a player mentioned Donald Trump, resulting in the following interaction:

If you have nothing intelligently relevant to say, why bother speaking at all. Criticizing ones' language and way of speaking shows enough of how relevant you yourself are in speaking. In other words, leave him be.

No one asked for your opinion. Maybe instead of trying to lure me into some convo you think you have power over perhaps you could try thinking ahead as to who might get the last word. I don't know who you are and I don't care. I'm not in the mood to deal with people like you. Roleplay somewhere else. Thank you.

NotAHoax appreciates the player Dawn's efforts to keep the peace, calling him a "born leader".
On February 4th, 2019, the players discovered a surprising change on the Astral Observatory Forums - the player ARGdov had been added to the "Believers" user group. This implied that he had successfully gained Nocta's trust.
On February 5th, 2019, Moonman began discussing this with the players in the Safehaven Discord server.
Apparently your buddy is being indoctrinated
Nocta just made a post to us saying he was one of us now.
He also purged the previous content in there
Oh yeah, in The Truth
No I mean, he didn’t just delete an old topic.
He went into the current topic and deleted the text.
That means he gave Dov the password
He does that everytime he gives it out.
Got some archive of the old text?
I can’t give you that
And even if I could, I don't have one.
Feh. Worth a shot
there’s a reason he deletes that shit though
It means that if you got that info now then he knows it wasn’t Dov, which means he’d suspect me
If that info does get reposted and then you get it, then he might suspect Dov
I can’t be sure though. Anyways I can’t stay this was risky as is.
Thanks for the heads up, we’ll be sure to be careful.
One last thing though, were you responsible for the video uploaded to Greth Vlogs? Escape pt. 2?
;)
Moonman claims that Nocta deletes the information housed within The Truth every time he hands out the board's password. He does this so that information leaks he can determine who is leaking it. Moonman also confirms that he was the one that uploaded "Escape p.2" to Greth Vlogs.
Also keep an eye out on yuuki
Something is not good there
Okay goodbye
Before he departs, Moonman tells the players to keep an eye on Yuukichan. He claims that "something is not good there" - likely referencing how she was seemingly able to control Johnisdead.com...
However, almost immediately after leaving, Moonman returned to give the players another update:
okay wait actually
I have returned temporarily because some shit is going down
and now he’s promoted CelestialLight
What the fuck
I thought I would let you know because this never happens and I am concerned
It turns out that Nocta actually promoted another player to the "Believer" rank as well - CelestialLight.
Shortly afterwards, the player ARGdov noticed that Nocta had sent him the following PM on the Astral Observatory Forums:
Nocta
"I’ve been watching. I have recently removed some sensitive material from The Truth, but you now have access to this forum which is mostly empty, for now. The current password is 'mindconstruct'. I change it every time new material is posted in there."
Using the password above, "mindconstruct", the player ARGdov was able to access The Truth. Because Nocta was watching them so closely, ARGdov only shared what was found within The Truth with a few select players. As Nocta claimed in his PM, it was mostly empty, containing only the following threads:
Internet Detectives

Surprisingly, one of the threads within The Truth was titled "Internet Detectives" Unfortunately, it's since been purged. This thread was posted back on November 5th of 2018 - the same day that the players created the "Moon Children" thread and not too long after they first joined the board a few days prior.
The other thread within The Truth was the following:
Welcoming a new brother into our fold.
Welcoming a new brother into our fold.

ARGDov has officially been welcome into our ranks, though he does not yet know our true purpose. These coming weeks it will be upon all of you-- and if any of our other former members rejoin, them as well-- to teach him about us and our mission.

Hello, all. I don't know exactly why I've been accepted, but it means a lot to me. Questions have plagued me for so long and I hope to finally find answers along with all of you. I know I've got quite a long ways to go before then, but even being let in is truly a privilege. I won't let anyone down, I promise you. And another welcome to CelestialLight as well, I'm sure we have much to learn together.

As mentioned by Moonman, the thread above is an announcement from Nocta stating that the players ARGdov and CelestialLight have both been given access to The Truth board. Interestingly, he claims that there are other members of the Astral Observatory who still have not rejoined the forums since they were wiped back in October of 2018. Also, Moonman is chatting with Nocta in this thread with seemingly no issue. This might suggest that the two of them came to some sort of understanding after their previous argument in the Safehaven Discord server. This is possibly why Moonman has been so absent lately - he's keeping his distance from the players.
Additionally, Yuukichan claims that CelestialLight sends her a lot of PM's. Unfortunately, the contents of these messages were never shared. Regardless, the various members of the Astral Observatory welcome the two players. That is, except for Kaiden, who questions Nocta's decision to add them "considering everything that's happened". However, what exactly he's referring to here is unknown...
Meanwhile, back in the "Haunted houses" thread, the player Thetraveler decided to post the gif containing Yuukichan's photos from Johnisdead.com. This resulted in the following response from Yuukichan:
Re: Haunted houses
by yuukichan » February 5th, 2019, 12:38 am
T-those are the pictures! O O ;;; Even now they creep me out... I swore I saw a face in my viewfinder a couple times...They also came out really grainy and low res even though my camera's pretty good...

Yuukichan is understandable shocked to see her photos. Despite this, she strangely does not question how the players managed to obtain them... However, she does claim that she thought she saw some faces on her camera when she was initially taking them...
Hoping to learn more about this strange house that Yuukichan visited, the player Wolfcat sent her a PM. On February 11th, 2019, she answered with a chilling reply...
Hey, this is just something I was wondering after seeing the haunted house thread.
Forgive me if this is a personal question, but is the haunted house you visited the same house that had the writing on the walls?
The one you posted a picture of a while back?
the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods the woods
This was a concerning reply. There was no denying it now, there was definitely something wrong with Yuukichan.
On March 2nd, 2019, Johnisdead.com updated once again. The page was now titled "Go there" and contained a distorted image of Tyler titled "hitilp.gif". This page also contained the audio "future.mp3". This possibly implied that Tyler would be "going somewhere" in the future...
Shortly afterwards, the players found a new page - "https://johnisdead.com/hitilp.html". This page was titled "here" and contained a distorted audio file titled "misrem_old.mp3". Additionally, the page also contained a strange image titled "p_message_from.jpg". This image seemed to be a photo of the picture of Hank and Diana that Tyler discovered. However, it had been distorted, making Hank look more like Patrem. Also, there was a scrap of paper covering up Diana that had many runes written on it - the same Elder Futhark runes that Tyler claimed he was studying back in 2018. A translation of these runes can be found below:
HE IS WAITING
((The "Triple Goddess" symbol is drawn))
GIFT GIVING
((The "Detour Sign" is drawn))
((A symbol of three intersecting lines is drawn))
HE WILL BE SEEING YOU SOON.
((The same symbol of three intersecting lines is drawn next to a symbol of an arrow pointing up and down))
BRIS
((A strange wooden fixture sitting atop the photo of Hank can be seen that has runes reading "FUTHARK"))
The exact meaning of this is still a bit of a mystery. The mention of "Gift giving" is likely a reference to Patrem giving Tyler the Detour Sign. Also, there seems to be an implication that Tyler will be seeing someone soon - possibly Tenebris, given the mention of "BRIS".
Later on, the players discovered that the image above could actually be opened as though it were a .ZIP file. Doing this revealed three new files, the first of which was the video "t.mp4". This short video seemed to show Tyler walking in his yard before he's suddenly attacked:
The second file is "j.mp4", which is a heavily distorted video of someone sitting in a car:
The final file was another image - "messagefrom_.jpg", which featured another scrap of paper with more runes written on it:
FOR GIANTS AWAKENING RUNES
((Four "G" or "Gift" runes are drawn))
((Four "Thurs" or "Giant" runes are drawn))
((Two "Algiz" runes are drawn))
((One "Tîwaz" or "Spear" rune is drawn))
((Four "G" or "Gift" runes are drawn in a square shape))
((Four more "G" or "Gift" runes surround the "G" rune square formation))
GIANTS UNITY
FALSE FATHER STRAJING
((A Triforce is drawn))
((An upside-down triangle is drawn))
DRAUGR GIANT
((A symbol consisting of an arrow pointing up and down and possibly the "T", "L", and "A" runes))
LINK FACES THE CONTROLLING ONES
((A symbol consisting of the "Algiz" or "Protection" runes surrounding a "Jera" or "Harvest" rune is drawn))
((A symbol consisting of the "Algiz" or "Protection" runes surrounding a "Gyfu" or "Gift" rune is drawn))
The meaning behind these runes were even more cryptic than the last.
The "FOUR GIANTS AWAKENING RUNES" is clearly referencing The Four Giants and seemingly tying them to the "G" or "Gyfu" Rune, which looks like an "X" - "ᚷ".
There is also the implication that "Link", or Tyler, will face "THE CONTROLLING ONES". However, this is followed by a drawing of two "Algiz" Runes - "ᛉ". This rune is often associated with protection or defense.
Unfortunately, the players weren't able to derive much else from these mysterious messages.
On this same date, Nocta posted the following announcement on Astralobservatory.net:
Server still acting up
March 2, 2019 - Uncategorized
So, it’s come to another pitiful update. For this I am truly sorry, but I am never one to shy away from the status of the website from you, my friends. Due to reasons I still cannot explain we are having our ups and downs with the server. Every time we seem to get this back in working order and things seem to stabilize, something happens and everything seems to start crawling again; last time it happened on January 27th, just over a month ago. Everything should still work but expect some slowdown.
On the brightside, activity in our community generally seems to be in an upward swing. Carpe noctem.
Nocta claims that the website's server has been acting up recently - something that he claims first happened around a month ago on January 27th.
Though this message seems rather inconspicuous, players noticed that below it was a second hidden message - a cipher that translated to the following:
sometimes more treasures are hidden in the chest that lies in plain sight
However, what exactly this was referring to is unknown...
At some point later on, the Astral Observatory Forums suddenly became flooded with bot-accounts that would spam messages containing scams. On April 12th, 2019, Nocta addressed this in another announcement:
Forum Spam
April 12, 2019 - Uncategorized
So, due to the nature of our interests, I have never required e-mail verification when registering and posting on the forums; however, the amount of malicious bots trying to prey on our boards means that I now have to require it.
Here, Nocta announces that he will now be requiring email addresses for new users in the hopes that this will deter the spambots.
On April 22nd, 2019, Moonman returned to the Safehaven Discord server to chat with the players:
okay
this is epic
Hey moonman
high?
Not at all
tell us what's epic
Ascension!
...What.
Bet I had ya scared for a second
Nah, just unamused
mugens balls were bursting in fear
Actually I have been laying low
I have been spending my time professionally stalking ya boys and not using much internet beyond that
So I am basically pretty sure Nocta knows I cannot be trusted anymore 100%.
I’m basically on his shitlist now since he assumes that part of the forums got posted to Dumblr
I surprisingly think he still trust Dov though which was the point
You need him there and I cannot really give you the inside scoop anymore
You never could in the first place, if I recall.
Or has that restriction been lifted?
Man you are cranky
Ok check this
I didn’t mean Nocta when I said I was stalking ya boys
I meant I’ve been looking into a few things about our pretty unique situation
I had access to some stuff I can no longer access - secret website shit
I’m not an elite hacker but there’s a subspace of the observatory for all the neato cult stuff you all suspect is there anyway
And I was reading some garbage about parallelos and stuff is making a whole lot more sense
But the most immediate concern for y'all is what’s up with my alt handle in your place - Greth
I’m pretty sure from some email snippets that shit is about to get heavy but I literally don’t understand what the fuck they were talking about
Just they were talking about it a LOT and it seemed bad
Something is going to happen with some sort of "agent of Luna"
They want to "bring the final piece of the puzzle into place"
I know it involves the parallelos
Moonman informs the players that Nocta now considers him an enemy. This is because Nocta discovered that bits and pieces of "The Truth" have been leaked and posted on the Internet Detectives Tumblr. Thankfully, Nocta still trusts the player ARGdov. Also, Moonman has been researching his and the players' current situation. He claims that the Astral Observatory has a special "Subspace" - a secret part of the website that contains the group's more cult-like beliefs and teachings.
Moonman also claims that he's been able to access some bits and pieces of emails from Nocta. These seem to imply that something big is about to occur that possibly involves Greth, an "agent of luna", and bringing the "final piece of the puzzle" into place. This will also supposedly involve the Parallelos.
That’s the first bit of news
The second bit of news is an apology
For the bots.
I need to slow down nocta so I literally invited scambots.
sorro.
no need to apologize
thanks for the local russian hookers
The problem is I never had control of them per se but at least it worked for a while
Moonman admits that he was responsible for inviting the spambots to the Astral Observatory Forums. He did this to slow down Nocta.
I was never fully indoctrinated as you might say so I was pretty much at the same level as Dov
I know the real hard core cult is nocta, yuuki, kaiden. Samuel too.
Damn, whats up with yuuki
she sent me a weirdass PM just saying "thewoods” like 100+ times
She’s been around on discord but neither of us has posted
I think she's conflicted on some things
Moonman claims that Nocta's most loyal followers are Yuukichan, Kaiden, and Samuel. Also, he claims that Yuukichan has been active on Discord but hasn't said anything recently. He believes that she may be feeling conflicting feelings regarding something...
im guessing you can’t just show us this "subspace” on AO right?
I mean possibly
but I’d need time to figure out the new password
I had the feeling the forums were just a façade
not really - more like a recruitment tool
I had experience with the Moon Children as you know so the things set of my alarms big time
I wanted in to go undercover and it worked for a long ass time. I think I’m blown now though
technically speaking I’m still an Astral Child
but I have a feeling this is going to come to a bad place soon
since I’m obviously some kind of traitor
Yeah man you may wanna run for it and keep away from their places.
that’s the idea
you should also know there used to be a bunch more members of the forums that have not rejoined
that concerns me, it’s been a longass time since we’ve been back
Moonman claims that the Subspace is locked behind a password and that it will take him some time to unlock it. He also explains a bit about how he first joined the group. He describes the Astral Observatory Forums as a "recruitment tool" that mainly exists to attract new members before slowly siphoning them into the group's more cult-like beliefs. Upon initially seeing the forums, Moonman was already heavily suspicious of the group because of his past interactions with the Moon Children. He went undercover and joined them, but now his cover has been blown. He also claims that the Astral Observatory used to have many more members before the site went down in October of 2018.
do you know exactly what was happening in the vid you uploaded to greth vlogs?
Yeah that was something I grabbed from the site
I was still trying to let you know I was feeding info without tipping off nocta
but that was the point where he started monitoring my traffic
he owns the domain and forums so he probably just started intensely watching IPs
which he did after I uploaded that vid by getting into that youtube account
so in retaliation I flooded the place with scambots and used a vpn to blend in
but that only worked for so long
But yeah do you know who’s who in the video?
no clue, I just grabbed the file off the server because it seemed important and chucked it your way
the stuff i was seeing vs what I could directly share was always in conflict
I knew the instant I finally gave you a file or two the war between the traitor and nocta would escalate
and that’s exactly what happened
Wait that's a new thing
Who’s this traitor you’re talking about?
...
he just said it up there
he is a traitor to the astral children
We’re not 'The Astral Children'
cult members self identify as an Astral Child
but we are the Astral Observatory
Moonman explains a bit more how exactly he and Nocta have been combatting one another recently. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any further information regarding "Escape p.2" - only that it was originally stored within the Subspace. Also, he claims that the members of the Astral Observatory often self identify as an "Astral Child".
I’m still waiting for this one guy to join, he had the best selfies to meme
Oh? What’s the name, we’ll watch for him too
IsocelesAssassin
There was also the Spanish guy
I don't remember his handle though
Moonman reveals the name of an Astral Observatory member who has yet to rejoin the forums - IsocelesAssassin. This name is heavily reminiscent of the player Circlehunter. This led to some players speculating that IsocelesAssassin is the version of Circlehunter from Moonman's timeline... There was also a Spanish member as well, though Moonman can't remember his username.
Since the details and complexities of Moonman's timeline were becoming more important, the players began referring to his timeline as the Astral Timeline. This came with the implication that the Astral Observatory is mainly situated in his timeline and does not exist in the players' timeline.
Likewise, the players began referring to their own timeline that Tyler and Greth Vlogs come from as the Prime Timeline.
On April 23rd, 2019, several videos were uploaded. The first of these was "LevANnhUa" on Silentdork.
Description
Your time away from us has come to a close You are coming to see us now Final day Did you expect us to start counting for you? After the bridge, the next destination is the gate.

This video begins with strange music playing in the background. The imagery is difficult to make out through the green distortions, though it appears we can see an arm holding some sort of moving object. An image of a gate of some sort soon overlays the footage. The footage fades out as a cipher appears on screen, which can be viewed down below in the images section. The cipher has only been partially solved:
"Come home today"
"//’X<; pg2:It"
Summary
- This video contains footage of a distorted environment and a gate of sorts.
This video contains footage of a heavily distorted environment and what appears to be a gate - presumably the same gate mentioned in its description - "After the bridge, the next destination is the gate". Overall, the messaging of this video was concerning and seemed to imply that someone or some group was coming after Tyler.
Afterwards, Tyler initiated a live stream on Silentdork titled "Good Morning".

This video begins with Tyler walking around his yard in the early morning.
Tyler: "Good Morning"
Various players in the livechat wish Tyler a good morning.
Tyler: "Hola, good Morning. How's everybody doing today?"
The player Gaikoku Hito says "i'm scared broo" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Why, what are you scared of, Gaikoku Hito?"
The player Daniel asks "How are you?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "How am I? Uh, shitty. I can't fucken sleep. Uh, I don't know if anybody will- yeah, I'm sure you guys actually do. I was gonna say, I don't know if anybody was gonna remember that Greth guy. But uh, he's been really fucken weird lately, and I really regret letting him figure out uh, where I live."
The player Mesho asks "are you in a forest ?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Well, Mesho, I live in a forest. So yes. Yes I am. It's actually really pretty, but it's probably too dark to see."
Tyler turns the camera around, but it's too dark to see anything.
Tyler: "Maybe I can uh, change the camera or something. Actually never streamed live on my phone before. Hold on, I think I screwed everything up. Ah, there we go."
Tyler turns on a light that illuminates his face.
Tyler: "Uhh, also, did a video just get uploaded on my channel? Again?"
The player Alexis Ruiz Morales asks "Is he really dead, jhon?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "'Is he really dead, John?' Uh, do you mean my friend? Yes. I get really tired of that question, but yeah."
The player Gaikoku Hito asks "are you mad at us" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Oh- 'am I mad at-' you, you mean uh, everybody that watches these videos? No. I mean I'm sure there's somebody that watches these videos that I need to be mad at, but uh... I wouldn't know how to get a hold of them, specifically."
A player asks if Tyler speaks Spanish in the livechat.
Tyler: "No, sadly, I don't speak Spanish. Kay, I'm just gonna roll right into this, why I started filming this. I can't fucken sleep, and uh... I actually- I haven't slept in a few days, actually. Well, I guess that's an exaggeration. I've been getting some fucken wink sleep here and there. But I mean, uh... I've just been having a stressful time. Uh, the Greth guy... He's kinda been popping in and out of my property, just, kinda being really fucken weird. Without really, without announcing himself at all. I saw him walking through uh, just kinda walking on through earlier."
The player KEIR DEFORMADO asks "are you scared abut someone or something?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "'Am I scared about someone or something?' I'm... I'm scared about lots of people and lots of things all the time. I'm fucken myself up. I'm forgetting what I even started this video for. I mean really what I started this video for, was I just can't fucken sleep. And uh, I don't have work today. So I thought, why not. I always end up going back to this YouTube channel. It was the thing that uh... And, yeah, I was actually gonna say, um, the reason that I can't sleep right now is cause I know that there's a sound. But I don't actually wanna go over to that- this, yet. I'm gonna put that on the backburner...."
The player pedro-pitres asks "what about greth and lunar children?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "'Greth and the Lunar Children?' Uh... I don't think- I don't think Greth has anything directly to do with the Lunar Children. He kinda came off to me like he was uh, kinda looking into them. After all, he was involved with uh, that group that was kind of a precursour to them. Not involved, working-with-them, but like, involved, just trying to figure out who they are."
The player KEIR DEFORMADO asks "what is the video of levanhua" in the livechat.
Tyler: "'lev- an- hua'... Uh, Oh. The video that just came up? No, I don' know what that is."
The player Daniel says "You re a normal guy" in the livechat.
Tyler: "'You're a normal guy' that's, that's really funny. But uh... here."
Tyler once again changes the camera's lighting, and begins walking deeper into his yard.
The player pedro-pitres asks "where are u going?" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Uh, somewhere important. Because this is where stuff always turns up."
Tyler appears to come across something on the ground, but the video's artifacting makes it difficult to tell. Tyler points the camera to the horizon, where the sun can be seen coming up. He takes on a noticably cheerier mood.
Tyler: "It's light. I'm... I'm home. But yeah, I-"
The livestream briefly cuts out as Tyler is looking around. He returns sounding slightly disoriented.
Tyler: "-Um... Uh... Man, I'm really tired. Uh..."
The video goes dark as Tyler is heard lying down on the ground.
Summary
- This live stream seems to be another update from Tyler that he's hosting because he can't sleep.
- Tyler claims that Greth has been acting very strange and randomly appearing in his yard unannounced.
- Tyler moves over to a specific part of his yard where strange things usually happen before suddenly falling asleep.
In the stream above, Tyler claims he can't sleep because he's hearing a strange sound. Also, he notes that Greth has been acting weird lately and randomly appearing in his yard unannounced. Before Tyler can reveal more, he suddenly falls asleep.
Later on, a video titled "111111" was uploaded to Silentdork.

This livestream appears to be a continuation of "Good Morning". It merely contains 17 seconds of darkness, with sounds of nature and the nearby road that indicate Tyler is still asleep in his yard.
Summary
- This video simply contained a short clip where the livestream left off.
This video seemingly picks up where Tyler's livestream left off. It seems as though Tyler is still asleep in his yard.
A few hours later, Tyler began another livestream. This one was titled "awake".

The video begins with Tyler waking up and getting off the ground. He accidentally puts a bubble filter on the camera.
Tyler: "What the... What the hell is this shit."
It is now visibly later in the morning as Tyler pans the camera around to show the sky. He begins walking around to the other side of his house.
Tyler: "Y'know, I think I figured out what it is. I always have a really weird time on this day out of every year. April 23rd. Because I just realized- I just checked... I fell asleep there for a second as I was walking through the woods."
Tyler briefly turns the camera around to show a spot further away in his yard.
Tyler: "It's weird cause I think I was actually over there, but somehow I ended up over there instead."
Tyler briefly pans the camera back to where he awoke.
Tyler: "But, I don't know. But uh... it's the day that that uh... that kid drowned. A lot of weird stuff actually happens on this day."
The player Christopher Zamora Rojas says "hi tyler" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Hello, christopher! April 23rd. Today- today is April 23rd, right? Is that what- today is April 23rd though, right?"
The player Christopher Zamora Rojas says "it is" in the livechat.
Tyler: "Okay. I had a dream that Greth was coming today. And he...."
Tyler walks over to the Detour Sign, which is laid flat on the ground.
Tyler: "Time to mess with my, uh, my Detour Sign. Which, I haven't messed with that in a while. Cause, it actually kinda stopped working. You'll notice, usually whenever you get close-"
The livestream briefly cuts out.
Tyler: "-remember, I'd come up to it-"
The livestream briefly cuts out. Tyler appears to be walking elsewhere in his yard.
Tyler: "Yeah, not the uh, not the usual situation. 'Unusual', yeah. And... and I'll tell ya. I can... still hear something though, coming from the sign. And, coming from over there, where I tried to check for ya. I'm- I-"
Tyler stares off over to where he said the noise originated in "Good Morning".
Tyler: "I should probably go inside. I.... I'm just gonna check to see what's at the edge."
Tyler walks over to the edge of his yard.
Tyler: "Because, uh... whenever..."
Tyler stops, and his thoughts trail off. He stares into the distance, appearing to be in a trance-like state.
Tyler: "I'll be okay when I get across the bridge and I go... through the gate, and at the end..."
Tyler continues staring off into the distance. He begins looking around and mumbling in apparent confusion, before the livestream ends.
Summary
- This is another livestream that Tyler began hosting upon waking up.
- Tyler claims that he had a dream that Greth was coming to visit today.
- Tyler claims that the Detour Sign still isn't working.
- Tyler hears the sound once again and says "I'll be okay when I get across the bridge and I go through the gate", while staring off into the distance.
Tyler has woken up and begun streaming once again. He claims that he had a dream that Greth was coming to visit today, though he doesn't elaborate further... Also, he claims that the Detour Sign still isn't working. Strangely, Tyler claims that he can still hear the odd sound that was keeping him away. Then then begins saying something while in a trance-like state - "I'll be okay when I get across the bridge and I go through the gate", which is very similar to the description of "LevANnhUa". Afterwards, the video suddenly ends.
Afterwards, a new video was uploaded to Greth Vlogs - "sacredartifact.mp4".
This video was simply a short, distorted clip of the Majora's Mask cartridge. Shortly afterwards, a similar video was uploaded to Silentdork - "423".
In this clip, we see someone kneeling or praying to the Majora's Mask cartridge. Near the end of the video, the white, faceless, mannequin-esque entity that previously represented Drowned appears... Given this entity's proximity to the Majora's Mask cartridge, it's possibly meant to represent Ben.
About an hour later, the players were contacted by Moonman:
big news boys
this is my theme song
but more importantly I have convinced someone to give me some cool stuff
I may have acquired some new videos
they’re taking a while to render and upload so be patient
but I am hijacking someone’s youtube to do this
I already got ya one - sacredartifact.mp4
there is more coming
I convinced one of the culties to help me leak them
Moonman reveals that the video "sacredartifact.mp4" was actually uploaded by him. He obtained it from one of the members of the Astral Observatory who he convinced to give it to him.
this shit always leaks seemingly now that nocta’s on the radar
tbh I'm probably fucked pretty soon
but I gotta help the anti-luna taskforce known as ID
anyways i think the videos are related to what I was reading about before
An "agent of Luna" definitely sounds like Tenebris talk
not good for that cartridge to still be making the rounds
Ok so check this sweet theory
I think here on my side Nocta is acting on behalf of someone giving orders
I say that because in the old site Nocta was pretty openly controlling
Nice facade but you know, diactatorish
He’s been pretty quiet as a hand which is very unlike him which means someone else is in charge I think
you think theres someone higher up in the AO?
Hmm
No not in the AO
I think Nocta has been contacted by something from your timeline - I think that’s who he answers to
Nocta is just relegating himself to admining the board and hunting me down via the internet these days
I don’t know any of the cult stuff inasfar as what I’ve already said
Moonman believes that these videos he's uploading are related to the emails regarding an "agent of luna", and bringing the "final piece of the puzzle" into place that he leaked previously. He also speculates that Nocta is actually taking orders from someone else - someone from the Prime Timeline.
Shortly afterwards, Moonman uploaded another video to Greth Vlogs - "guidance.mp4".
This video seems to be a continuation of "423". We see that there is now someone standing behind the mannequin-esque entity. This figure is wearing jeans, a flannel shirt, and a gas mask. The figure and the mannequin entity both raise their arms at the same time, stretching them out towards the kneeling man. Because he was said to have worn one in the past, many players began speculating that the figure wearing a gas mask is actually Tenebris. However, what exactly is taking place in these videos is unknown...
Later that night, another video was uploaded to Silentdork - "g2".

This video begins with a green, distorted Alex coming into view as a strange version of the "Song of Unhealing" plays in the background. The camera suddenly falls as a "Please stand by" screen appears. Several cryptic sigils flash on screen: a Parallelos sigil, a sigil of two arrows, an ornate diamond pattern, and the Lunarum Oculus. Alex comes back into view as "mask2willfindyou.webm" flashes on screen. Alex begins speaking as text appears.
"He just took the trip."
Images rapidly appear. One is of Tyler in one of his recent livestreams, followed by the close-up of the runes discovered on Johnisdead.com, and finally what appears to be the inside of an old house along with a long haired entity. We then briefly see some footage of what seems to be Greth running towards the camera as Tyler looks down at the detour sign, possibly just having teleported somewhere. Alex speaks again.
"We will show you where later"
We are shown more footage of what appears to be Tyler's yard as the cameraman approaches the detour sign as a man approaches him from a distance. "Mask2willfindyou.webm" overlaps Alex's face as we are shown footage of a bridge, possibly the same bridge seen in previous videos.
Summary
- This video contained a message from Alex - presumably in his current transcended state.
- Faint footage of Tyler being chased by Greth before looking at the Detour Sign is shown.
- Alex claims that Tyler just "took the trip" and that the players will be shown where later.
- Footage of a bridge is shown.
This video contains heavily distorted footage of Alex. Considering the fact that Alex appears to be tinted green, this is likely his present transcended form speaking to the players. Here, Alex says the following:
Alex
"He just took the trip. We will show you where later."
More context for this can be gleaned from some faint footage overlaying the video. Here, we see what appears to be Tyler fleeing from Greth before turning to the Detour Sign. This seems to suggest that Tyler was attacked by Greth but managed to escape by using the Detour Sign... However, where exactly this took him to is unknown. Interestingly, a few different sigils also flash on screen at one point. These are actually all symbols that the players had seen before, the Parallelos Symbol, a two-sided arrow, eight intersecting arrows, and the Lunarum Oculus.
The Parallelos Symbol.
The two-sided arrow.
The eight intersecting arrows.
The Lunarum Oculus.
As the video comes to an end, we see what appears to be a bridge. This is possibly the same bridge that's been mentioned in previous videos.
Afterwards, one final video was uploaded to Greth Vlogs - "a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead.". This was the definition for "Elegy".
This video contained a heavily distorted shot of the mannequin entity in a room followed by someone preforming some sort of ritual at an altar. Additionally, this video's tags read "YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK".
Later that night, the players noticed that the Astral Observatory Forums were offline. Instead, the entire message board was replaced with a simple message that read "Punish ye who have traitorous roots in holy soil" - presumably a threatening message directed at Moonman.
Around this same time, the players noticed that "Escape p.2" had been renamed to "joyous parallelos". However, the Parallelos's relation to this video's contents is unknown... Additionally, this video's description now read "I'm glad you have this.".
On April 25th, 2019, the text on the Astral Observatory Forums began changing:
Did you think that would work?
That’s not going to work, either.
The more you try, the more you will fail.
It is amusing to see you flounder with every attempt, hacker. Whats secrets do you hope to gain from this?
020224 200414 14212411 0414152106162123
It seemed as though someone was trying to hack into Astralobservatory.net. These messages were presumably left for them as taunting remarks from Nocta. However, the final message remained a mystery...
On April 30th, 2019, this final message slowly began to change:
ON24 200414 14212411 0414152106162123
ON24 20A14 14212411 04141521061621D
ONE 20AS B212411 04141521061621D
ONE HAS BEEN ASCENDED
Someone on the Astral Observatory had been ascended. Despite the players best efforts, they were unable to save them.
On May 1st, 2019, the forums returned to normal, leaving the players to wonder who it was they had lost.
On June 5th, 2019, Moonman returned to give the players an update.
I’ve been naughty
((Moonman posts a screenshot of Nocta's PM's.))
I’m in nocta’s account
it took a while so I had to lay low
wow
is there anything interesting?
Mostly not
Moonman reveals what he's been working on recently - hacking into Nocta's account. After all this time, his hard work has finally paid off and he's gained access, giving him administrative powers over the forums.
any possible way to restore the internet detectives post he deleted?
or at least see what it was?
uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh let’s find out
but i did get the new password
:3
Anyways the way into the subspace is through the truth last i recall
but he may have moved it
anyways i have to lay low again soon
so im about to pull my final act of defiance
Moonman claims that there used to be a way to access the Subspace via The Truth board. However, that no longer seems to be the case. Regardless, he says he's about to preform his "final act of defiance".
Upon checking the Astral Observatory Forums, the players discovered that there was now a new post from Moonman - one that was simply titled "!?!", which simply read as follows:
Moonman
"be free internet detectives"
After viewing this thread, the players realized that they had all been given moderator powers on the forums.
Using these newfound abilities, the players immediately began searching for hidden and deleted posts. Here, they found two threads created by Nocta - "The History of Us" and "Test". Unfortunately, the contents of these threads could not be recovered.
However, the players found one other thread that had been deleted.
A thread from Yuukichan that was simply titled "ascension".
Yuukichan
"are you awake?"
Yuukichan had been ascended.
