+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "Hello everyone. It's been a while, hasn't it? | ||
+ | The past few months have been a little chaotic over on our side. I'm not really sure where to start, so I guess I'll just go over things one by one." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "First off, I've gotten by account back, obviously. At first, we had all thought that Pumpkinfuck just hijacked it through the same sort of techno-wizardry GB often utilizes. It turns out, things were a bit more severe than that. It appears that Pumpkinfuck snatched up some dead, offshoot version of myself and began using him as a mask, similar to how he did with Wolfcat... Judging by that Forerunners video, this version of myself was killed by Regiminis back in 2012." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "Honestly, that video really fucks me up - not only because I fucking die in it, but also because I vividly remember all of these situations (albeit a bit differently, of course). Overall it was some pretty heavy shit, to put it lightly. I'm relieved Mason is now at peace. To echo my apparently deceased counterpart, I can't thank you guys enough for that." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "In that same vein, GB is also incredibly grateful. Apparently they had pissed off Pumpkinfuck so much that he took them captive to shut them up. They've tried to explain to me what it was like but I can never really fully comprehend it. Needless to say, it fucking sucked, and it's thanks to you guys they got pulled out of there. (Though GB may have... difficulties conveying such gratitude.)" | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 3:10 PM: "In less fortunate news, I've completely lost contact with Greth. A few days before he disappeared, he mentioned that he felt he was being watched, and was starting to become incredibly paranoid. I wanted to believe that it was just his nerves, but over here we no longer have the luxury of brushing these kinds of things off. I was going to offer him a place to stay, but he vanished before we could arrange anything. His recent uploads have been very worrisome, I fear he's starting to lose it. I'm planning on visiting him to make sure everything's okay. I don't think it's good for him to be alone right now. It's shouldn't be that hard of a trip to make - I know a shortcut."</span> | ||

+ | otherLiam 8:32 AM: "Oh good, now that Orangeboi is out we can chat with you again. Hiya. So I was BUP’d for a few months and i’m not quite caught up yet, but going off alone to a place you expect there to be trouble kinda sounds like a bad idea... especially considering what day it is." | ||
+ | otherLiam 8:32 AM: "If you’re gonna do it, is there some way we can make you safer? Maybe use an item, like the Shield or something, so you have protection? ...actually now that I think about it... is there any way you can prove you actually are IA, and not Pumpkinhead? I wanna believe it’s you but he’s pulled this trick before." | ||

+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 11:47 AM: "Don't worry, I'm taking precautions. If you all would feel more comfortable using your powers for added protection, I would be very grateful. I'm not planning on being there long, really. I'm just going to stop by and pick up Greth. I know better than to linger in these situations. Also, yes, I'm well aware of today's bad connotations. As much as it pains me to do so, I'm going to wait a few more days before heading down there just to be safe. Also -- as GB mentioned, yes, soon we'll be initiating our next plan. We think we may finally have a way to once again establish contact with our hacker friends."</span> | ||

+ | <span class="vip">IsocelesAssassin 10:36 AM: "Alright, so scratch everything I said in my previous post. These past few weeks have been a confusing time." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:36 AM: "First and foremost, Greth is safe, but he hasn't been doing too great. I was just about to leave for Florida when I felt a familiar sensation - the same sort of "warpy air", for a lack of a better term, that I often sensed when travelling around via the Ocarina back in 2009. The next thing I knew, Greth was lying unconscious on my floor. I'm guessing you guys must have done something? If so, then I must thank you. You've all saved me an admittedly dangerous trip down south." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:36 AM: "His recovery's been slow going. When he isn't sleeping, he's just kinda staring off into space. I don't know what the fuck he's been dealing with in that house, but it must have been pretty terrible." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 10:36 AM: "On a lighter note, GB's nearly done unscrambling some transmissions she discovered floating around the Parallelos. It seems like AO's strange beacon-like attributes are still in effect, which has actually been pretty useful for us. Earlier we were able to verify that these transmissions were indeed from our hacker friends, so hopefully we'll be able to establish a more secure line of communication with them once again." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 6:05 PM: "Triple-posting, but who fucking cares at this point. We're just about ready to roll out. GB finished deciphering the transmission we picked up, and as we expected. It's from our hacker friends. There wasn't much to it, really just some code that GB utilized and baked into the Subspace. I don't really know all of the details because this kind of stuff just flies over my head." | ||
+ | IsocelesAssassin 6:05 PM: "Also, Greth just woke up about an hour ago. He seems to be doing a bit better - he actually cracked a smile at a stupid weed joke I made."</span> | ||

+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "Alright, time to shoot some questions. (Forgive me if I missquote anything, this transmission had significantly more noise than previous ones)" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "0.5. How familiar are you guys with the events that took place in our timeline? (Just going to assume you're familiar with our timeline for the questions, as I'd rather ask unanswerable ones than not ask certain questions at all)" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "1. What happened to the harbingers in your time? Either from pre-2015 or post-2015?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "1.5. Assuming they survived, how'd the events over on the Within Hubris Tapatalk play out?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "2. If I heard correctly, you said your timeline was absolutey, royally fucked (or something along those lines). Has something actually cataclysmic happened, or is it just that certain people are alive and/or dead?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "2.5: If a cataclysmic event did occur, how did you guys specifically survive?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "3. This is probably a rather useless question (which we may be about to get the answer to with Seth talking anyways), but is "Seth" just an alias of Mason or part of his name?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "4. (Assuming Seth is Mason which is what many things seem to point to) What led Seth to joining the Moon Children in your timeline? In ours, he was friends with Doug and was part of the Lunar Children. He eventually died, but the Gray Man scooped him up in some device and they travelled for a bit. Honestly this is all a bit hazy as there's weird double-IA double-Mason is-this-Seth-guy-Mason-is-he-not-Mason stuff going on." | ||

+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "8. If you were spared, any idea who else was transcended into the third giant (Assuming they were at all)?" | ||
+ | TheRealXenquility 3:52 AM: "9. Any chance you could tell us more about the Astral Observatory from your timeline, or if they name BUP or Nocta ring a bell? (Outside of the Gray Man's Nocta)" | ||

The Astral Observatory Forums are the main form of communication used by the members of the Astral Observatory. Though players only first discovered them on October 31st of 2018, an earlier incarnation of them had supposedly existed since July of that same year. These forums hosted countless character interactions for the players, making them a very important location.
Contents
Story
The Astral Observatory was founded sometime in July of 2018. It is implied that along with the creation of Astralobservatory.net, the forums were created around this time as well. While IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and José all joined the site with the intention of putting a stop to Nocta's plans, other users such as Kaiden Zoromichi, Yuukichan, and NotAHoax all flocked to the site naturally with no secondary motivations. The users all seemed to get along well. Kaiden, IsocelesAssassin, and Yuukichan all participated in a roleplay together. There was also supposedly a "Kemono Friends" thread with over 1000 pages.
Nocta later created a board titled "The Truth" on the Astral Observatory Forums. This board was locked and the login information was only given out to users he trusted. For an unspecified amount of time, the password to access this board was "pqbxhtlopa". This board contained a thread detailing the group's history and a link to the Subspace - a secret section of Astralobservatory.net that contained the group's more occult knowledge. Over time, the Astral Observatory Forums were revealed to be more of an indoctrination tool that Nocta uses to gain more members for the Subspace.
On October 21st, Astralobservatory.net went offline, resulting in massive data loss and the corruption of the forums. Nocta blamed this on Johnisdead.com supposedly stealing the site's bandwidth. The players discovered Astralobservatory.net on October 24th. Due to their past involvement with Johnisdead.com, Nocta portrayed the players as if they were potentially responsible for the loss of the forums. On October 31st, the Astral Observatory Forums had been recreated. The players were now able to chat with the other members of the forums. Around this time, Nocta made a post about the players in "The Truth" board. The exact contents of this post are unknown, however.
Players began prying for more information about the Astral Observatory and their connection to the Lunar Children. On November 11th, Moonman reached out to the players in PM's, offering to give them more information in a secure location. This led to the creation of the Safe Haven Discord Server, where players could chat with Moonman in a more controlled environment. On November 13th, Nocta reached out to the player ARGdov, seeing potential in adding him to the group's inner circle.
On November 26th, Nocta discovered that Moonman was a traitor who had been giving the players information. After this, the login information for "The Truth" was changed to "mindconstruct". Moonman was not given this password and he no longer had access to the cult's inner circle. Despite this, Moonman later found his way back into the board - possibly though being given the password by another member or by simply hacking his way back in. Here, he discovered that the players ARGdov and CelestialLight had both been granted access to "The Truth" as well.
At some point in early 2019, Yuukichan was ascended and her spirit was trapped within Astralobservatory.net. Despite this, she was seemingly able to continue using her account as if nothing were wrong - similar to Jeremy Jarvis as seen on the Lunar Children Forums. Over time, however, oddities began cropping up surrounding her account, such as her sending the player Wolfcat a message simply reading "thewoods" repeated over 100 times.
On April 23rd, the Astral Observatory Forums went down - presumably both as a threat from Nocta and due to Yuukichan's spirit slowly corrupting the site. On June 5th, Moonman hacked the forums and gave all of the players moderator access. Here, they discovered that Yuukichan had indeed been ascended earlier in the year. On July 26th, IsocelesAssassin finally returned to the forums after the player Wolfcat submitted the "New Wave Bossa Nova". IsocelesAssassin soon joined the Safe Haven Discord server and began chatting with the players there alongside Moonman.
Over time, the forums slowly corrupted more and more - both because of Yuukichan's presence and due to an influx of "spambots" summoned by Moonman. On August 8th, Nocta announced that Moonman had been banned from the forums. In reality, Moonman had been trapped within the Parallelos within a section of the site's Subspace. IsocelesAssassin's ally, GHOSTBABEL, assisted the players in saving Moonman. This process caused the site to undergo some strange sort of temporal flux, however, resulting in posts from the forum members from different timelines appearing for a brief period of time.
With Moonman saved, the players managed to scare Nocta away from the site, who was likely fearful considering the temporal chaos it had just underwent. This chaos also allowed Pumpkinhead to enter into the Astral Timeline, who then proceeded to pretend to be the player Wolfcat. On April 20th, 2020, IsocelesAssassin, Moonman, and the Hacker Group began to enact a plan to get the players into the Subspace and, by extension, Johnisdead.com. This required the use of a Data Bomb. It was then that Pumpkinhead made his move, destroying the Safe Haven Discord server and stealing away the Data Bomb. Fortunately, the Hacker Group was able to send the players a second Data Bomb, which was then posted in "The Truth" by the player ARGdov. This resulted in the site corrupting further, allowing the players to access the Subspace.
On May 12th, players began using the Astral Observatory Forums as their main form of communication once again. On July 3rd, Pumpkinhead attacked once again by locking the players' Ocarina powers within the Astral Observatory Forums. The players were then forced to explore a labyrinth of pages in the Sanctum Hole in order to regain access to the forums. The "Sanctum" hole was finally completed on September 1st, as the players discovered the username was "finalastralbarrier" and the password was "fleetingdream".
On December 21st, IsocelesAssassin and GHOSTBABEL informed the players that they had hatched a new plan to regain communication with the Hacker Group. The players were to scour Johnisdead.com for a transmission code that they would then plug in to a new page on the Astral Observatory Subspace. The players accomplished their mission on December 22nd. On December 23rd, GHOSTBABEL would begin occasionally posting transmissions from the Hacker Group on the Astral Observatory Forums, offering the players to send questions in the form of posts to ask the group.
