4/23/21 - "Hesitation" - YouTube (Silentdork)

The video begins with distorted footage of what appears to be a wooded area near a road with some buildings. The environment is destroyed and crumbled and appears to be floating in a void. Text begins appearing on screen.

"There is another through which I may reach the final layer."
"OR-ANGE HA--- O-- --WTW-E -HO-E"

A drawing of two symbols similar to the "Star of David" can be seen.
"I'm surprised, Luke."
"I rarely see you in my library."
"I never believed you to be the 'studious' type."
"SHE SEES THROUGH AGGREGATE EYES"

"I SEE MY FUTURE"
"Your dream will end."
"A NEW SPHERE AWAITS"

"No..."
"No, it's the Harbingers again."
"ID"
".root"

((Unknown cipher))
"They are lying to you."
"The Elders."
"Don't trust them."

"Luna's machine..."
"The World Engine."
This text was surrounded by four cubes containing the letters:
"D A S H"

"SHEEPDOGS SECRET"
"I... remember Hope telling me about this, but..."
"HIS PHONE"

")()()(ARAWN)()()("
"I see..."
"Am I correct in assuming you are the "other" of a Finitor, then?"
((Unknown cipher))

"I'm not cut out for it."
"I never was."
"I'm sorry, I'm not, like, trying to pull a Draco or a Saint here."
"-O-W -E--T THO -TH G-O DOWN THE-RE- ON- HIS O-WN?"

((Unknown cipher))
"But the chaos agents..."
"What of their will?"
"Intent is a powerful thing, Alan."

"Ezekiel Konrad is a cowardly fool plagued by anxiety and insecurity."
"BUT NOT THOTH"

"THE- R-ESEARCHERS SHADOW-"
"Arawn, he called himself."
"A most mysterious character..."

"HIS MASK WAITS WITH THE GIRL."
"You had him all figured out, so he had to make a deal with the devil."
"AW"

"So, brother... Don't try to resist."
((Unknown cipher))

"A-RTISTS"
"Do you know why I wear this mask, Sheep?"
"It's because the Lunar Children need a leader."
"C-ON-ESSIONS"

((Unknown cipher))
"Mindshape has been resurrected from its previous terminal state into a completely new form."
((Unknown cipher))

"I'LL BE WAITING."
"My time in this world is quickly coming to an end."
"IN THE NEXT"

"We were trying something big that day..."
"Something I had been looking forward to for a long time."
"My Ascension."
((Unknown cipher))
((Unknown cipher))

"SHE- SPEAKSH TO- HTRAITORS"
"The Harbingers aren't who you think they are..."

"The Harbinger's Link?" "I assume he's already in our possession."
"IT WAS IFRIT"

"PLUCKED FROM THE PARALLELOS OF THE DEAD."
"That orange thing put him there..."
"Pumpkinhead, I think?"
"A CRUDE MASK THAT DID SERVE WELL."

((Unknown cipher))
"Dude got lost in the basement."
"The basement!?"
"How'd he manage that?"

"This sphere grows old."
"Guess he's really got it out for me this time."
"Let us birth anew."

"Well well, speak of the devil!"
"Hey Mesic, how's the haul?"
"W-E THO-WGHT --OW WERE DEAD"

"We're strong, we can deal with whatever comes next!"

"No matter what happens..."

The footage changes to a shot of the "Path" Janus room. More text appears on screen:

"There is so much about our teachings you don't remember because you did not live it this time, I guess."
"Remember the prayer they made us say for people who were going to be in the finitor and beyond ranks?"
"My favorite part was always 'Grant me power'."
"MAKE ME KING."

"Together with the body of energy prepared for you is the secret of the whispered numbers."
"Beyond comes the trial of four, which begets the inverted two."
"The unreal made real."
"The spirit rejoined to the flesh."

Grainy footage of a twisted hallway leading into an open chamber can be seen before the video cuts to black. Footage of various Janus rooms is shown as more text appears:

"Am I 'I'?"
"No, you are you and me are we."
"That makes two I's, silly XD"

The video ends with a loading bar slowly filling up with the following text surrounding it:

"POWERING UP"
"PLEASE WAIT..."

Summary

• This video contains many cryptic messages written in ciphers and unknown languages.
• An entity named "Arawn" is mentioned, though not expanded upon.
• Many Lunar Children are referenced, such as Sheepdog, Hope, and Thoth.
• Luke is referenced as having visited a library, presumably the Lunar Children's library at the Spire which is partially governed by the Elder Child Jinn. It's implied that Jinn might be an aggregated being of some sort.
• Text from Erika seems to imply that Tyler might be II, or "The second".

• At 4:25 PM, BUP became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent a link to a Facebook page titled "Notahoax_m12's FB Meme Site". (Link) This page was owned by NotAHoax, and seemed to simply be a meme page where he would occasionally comment on memes he uploads. The images discovered here were as follows:
1st Image - Hoax: "Of course I've been LOCKDOWN since 'Nam BROTHERS...".
2nd Image - Hoax: "Bricks of hard cheese make good rations BROTHER..."
3rd Image - Hoax: "IDIOTS are spiking the price of milsurp BROTHER I live off milsurp!".

Footage of what appears to the be the Parallelos is shown. The location seems to be the same one seen in the video "Escape p.2". The following text appears on screen:

"Well... I've witnessed some rather strange magic myself, lately... First hand."
"yeah, well"
"im not really sure what youre referring to"
"but i doubt its anything compared to this"
"Who's the target?"
"you-know-who"
"Ah... I see. Our little troublemaker."
"Any ideas for approach?"
"at the moment?"
"none"
"things are still developing"
"with the way things are going, i dont even know if we should take action"
"And what if we should?"
"I'm on the move, and I may not be around to receive your orders."
"Perhaps a series of codewords are in order?"
"codewords...?"

The text begins appearing once again:

"Well... I've witnessed some rather strange magic myself, lately... First hand."
