The story so far...
In the previous section, Patrem finally returned to Within Hubris after a long absence - though the circumstances surrounding this were a bit confusing. As far as the players knew, Patrem should still be trapped inside of Greth... Additionally, this version of Patrem seemed far less condescending and was instead somewhat humble - albeit far more cryptic and esoteric.
Patrem had supposedly become lost in the Parallelos at some point after 2016. Here, he met the Rune Entity, who was revealed to be a powerful mage named Synchron. Patrem is now following Synchron's teachings, which has granted him a great deal of knowledge regarding the true nature of his reality. Additionally, Synchron himself communes with an absolute god-like being called "The Great Author" - someone who Patrem claims is above even Luna in terms of power and influence. Afterwards, Patrem began cryptically speaking about future events:
Someone - presumably Tyler - will meet Synchron atop some sort of "City". They will also meet "The GIRL", who is supposedly Tyler's anima. Synchron wishes to bestow Tyler some sort of "Spear". Patrem also mentions the existence of "Three Runes" and "Four Treasures" - all of which will lead to the retrieval of some sort of "Grail". Afterwards, he mentions a "Tower" that will lead to a "Tree" where Tyler will supposedly defeat Tenebris. However, all of this was laced in heavy symbolism and details were scarce...
Patrem also mentioned various other esoteric concepts as well. These included "The Orchard"A concept most likely referring to the Moon Children's old headquarters as well as a mysterious Hebrew myth., "The Book"A concept most likely referring to both the "Libro Lunarus" and possibly fate itself., and "The Machine" - presumably the same "Machine" that Tyler himself is currently trapped within. Patrem implies that he himself is also currently within "The Machine", though what exactly this means on a literal level is unknown... Patrem also revealed some more information about "The Fourth World"Just as the players, Patrem always knew of "The Fourth World" as Luna's Parallelos. However, he now claims that Synchron is the holder of it and that the realms of "The Great Author" extend beyond it. and "Dream Spheres", which he describes as "Realms" for "Those who generate", implying that they're connected to the concept of creation itself. Interestingly, an old message from an out-of-character Tyler suggested that "Dream Spheres" may hold some meta-relevance as well, as he implied that different GM's have their own "Dream Spheres".
Afterwards, the players were contacted by their allies in the Safehaven Discord server. IsocelesAssassin, GHOSTBABEL, Moonman, and the players all grouped together to finally initiate their plan to break into the Subspace. This plan involved IsocelesAssassin's mysterious unnamed allies sending him a special "Data Bomb", which would then need to be posted in the Astral Observatory Forum's "The Truth" board. This would disrupt Nocta's security and allow the players to log into the Subspace. Unfortunately, when the file arrived, the Data Bomb was missing - stolen by Pumpkinhead himself. This coincided with the release of a message log between Pumpkinhead and "AW", or "Astral Wolf" - the spirit of the Astral Timeline's version of Wolfcat.
Pumpkinhead entered into our realm when the players reverted Astralobservatory.net back to normal in 2019. He was the "orange" entity mentioned by Moonman and the "lurking" entity mentioned by Yuukichan. Shortly after this, he hunted down Astral Wolf's spirit and contained him somewhere. This is when Astral Wolf first met Yuukichan - or her spirit, at least. From this point onwards, Pumpkinhead was using Wolfcat's accounts and impersonating him. Eventually, the players became suspicious, resulting in Pumpkinhead working alongside Tenebris to conduct the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack".
The sole main purpose of the "Pumpkinhead Gamejack" was to avert suspicion away from Pumpkinhead by having Tenebris, pretending to be an out-of-character Tyler, denounce his canonicity. Ultimately, it was a success, as the players no longer considered Pumpkinhead to be an active threat afterwards. However, around this same time, Pumpkinhead trapped Astral Wolf inside a bottle via the "Poe in a Bottle" item. This explains the recent appearance of the "Poe in a Bottle" in the Dungeons & Dragons game and the "Ascended E-Girl" album - it presumably represents Astral Wolf's trapped state.
With the release of the "Ascended E-Girl" album, Yuukichan became trapped in its Amiibo Dungeon. However, she also took Astral Wolf's spirit into it with her - explaining her posting of the "Poe in a Bottle" during this time. Pumpkinhead was not planning for his and was enraged. Now, he's currently in possession of the "Data Bomb" and is actively crippling the players' contact with their allies. If the players are unable to somehow break into the Subspace, it's possible that they may stay isolated forever - and Tyler will remain lost within the Parallelos...
