<h2>Story</h2> | <h2>Story</h2> | ||
+ | Spencer was born sometime in the 90's in New York. As a teenager, Spencer seemingly had no clear direction or goals in life and his relationship with his family was slowly deteriorating over time. In 2006, he came in contact with the [[Moon Children]], who welcomed him with open arms. Spencer felt at home with the cult, making new friends and finding purpose. Over time, Spencer became a devout follower of [[Luna]] and began rising through the ranks of the cult. Eventually, he became a moderator on the cult's website - [[Youshouldnthavedonethat.net]]. Here, he became the cult's technical consultant. | ||
+ | On September 19th, the Moon Children held several parties across the United States. During this time, [[Mat]] was infused with [[Lunar Children]] knowledge and the will of [[Tenebris]]. Mat then proceeded to kill off nearly all of the Moon Children, seemingly sparing only Spencer. No longer having any direction in life, Spencer attempted to find survivors at [[The Orchard]] in 2011. Instead, Spencer met the other members of the [[Hacker Group]]. At some point, a great cataclysm began destroying the [[Fucked Timeline]], resulting in Spencer and the other members of the Hacker Group escaping somehow. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Over the next several years, Spencer and the other members of the Hacker Group worked behind the scenes. At some point, Spencer met [[SKM]] who also was briefly involved with the Hacker Group. In 2018, Spencer and the others communicated with [[IsocelesAssassin]] via their [[Transmission Device]] and the [[Astral Observatory]]. They hatched a plan together involving time travel and IsocelesAssassin acting as "The Gray Man". Over the next few years, Spencer and the others worked on a [[Data Bomb]] that would allow the [[players]] to access [[Johnisdead.com]] by breaking into the [[Subspace]]. Unfortunately, this plan went awry when [[Pumpkinhead]] stole the Data Bomb and used it on the [[Safehaven Discord Server]], damaging the Hacker Group's transmission device in the process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In December of 2020, Spencer and the others were finally able to contact their allies once again after the players discovered their communication code within Johnisdead.com. The Hacker Group then began sending transmissions to the Astral Observatory via [[GHOSTBABEL]], who would then give them to the players. Spencer was at the forefront of these transmissions, greeting the players and explaining their current situation. | ||
<h2>Personality</h2> | <h2>Personality</h2> | ||
− | + | Spencer seems to have a fairly laid back and casual personality, chatting with the players in a relatively calm demeanor despite the odd circumstances. | |

Uh, we've been cooped up here, isolated from pretty much everything for what seems like years now. Just feels so good </span>((Intelligible))<span class="vip">- reach out, even if it is a pretty shitty method overall, archaic, but uh, still, just any little bit just feels.... just like uh, it just makes a world of difference, really." | ||

Yeah, to all the uh, all the detectives out there who made this possible... Um, thank you, honestly. Uh, from what I understand, y'all've really been our uh, eyes and ears out there in the series of portals that connect all these uh- "realms" I guess is a good term for it- all these portals that connect to these realms we've found ourselves floating through. Even continuing to do so even after hearing that you're "counterparts" have been... removed. Um, you've really been sticking your neck out there for us, and I really respect that. So, again, thank you. Of course, big thanks to Gray Man and Ghost as well, without them we'd still be completely aimless out here. Gray, you've always been an excellent field guy for us. LITERALLY risking your life out there, from what I understand. I really can't thank you enough. And uh, Ghost, you've been a uh.... ah, you've been a great middleman. Heh, even though you might find such a term insulting, uh... But uh, really, again, thank you, all of you." | ||

Let me say right upfront, sorry for all the secrecy surrounding our identities. We've had some trouble before regarding the identity of one of our members just, leaking out in the past, and... we're not exactly in the safest of positions right now, so… We really, we've just </span>((Intelligible))<span class="vip"> awful. Uh, in addition to that, uh, things are pretty... "different" here from what you're all familiar with. I imagine that's just flatly revealing our identities. Before now it'd just cause more confusion and not really help work towards the tasks that we're at, and, so, yeah, sorry about all the cryptic bullshit, that's just how it's had to be on our end for a while now. But, uh, now there's really no need for any of that. This is a pretty secure setup we're working off of right now, so, uh, yeah, it's time to" </span>((Intelligible)) | ||

Uh, not sure where to begin. Okay, here, uh, I should probably just start off by saying </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> that that we are not actually native to the uh, I guess yeah, the timeline. </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> -talking about the sci-fi fucking </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> some shit. </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">- is. Uh, we are not native to the uh, the timeline that </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-probably already over that, actually. Uh, we just call it the Astral Timeline, just for simplicity's sake. Uh, because Astral Observatory seems to be a pretty, "unique entity" from what we've seen. Um, for the most part. I believe there may have actually been some incarnation of it back in uh, our time, but it was pretty different from what it is now, so. Sorry, I'm off topic already." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Uh, yeah, we're not native to the Astral Timeline, and we're actually not from the timeline you're all familiar with. We're actually from a completely different timeline that's just been "absolutely royally fucked" for lack of a better term. Like, it's honestly a miracle we're even here to... "be" at all, considering what took place. Um, yeah, I'm sure that this is probably a lot to take in, but... Uh, here, maybe it's better if we just go through our own stories and tell it to you that way. Cause that might be a more easily digestible way to explain all this crazy bullshit. I think It'll be easier on both of us, so we'll just do it like that." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "So uh... oh god, I haven't even introduced myself yet, have I? Uhm, I'm Dusk. Well, that's what they called me around here anyways, I guess. We had our own little epic code names we go by for safety. But uh... hey, Seth, can we just drop all that </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-bullshit in there, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, there's really no need for us to be back here, it's </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. Secure line </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> going on. So uh, yeah. My real name is Spencer. I'm sure you're all vaguely familiar with me, or, uh, another me, rather, from your </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. Uh, I like art, video games, dumb movies, uhh... heh heh. Uh, I should probably just </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. Quote-en-quote." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Uhh, let's see. In... 2006? I think? Yeah, 2006. Uh, in 2006, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">actually a pretty rough patch in my life. Uh, that seems like nothing now that everything's all fucked and </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. But, back then my uh, my parents and I had never really had that great of a relationship. I didn't have any clear direction in my life. Highschool </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> and I really had no idea what I wanted to major in, or if I really wanted to go to college. Like, this isn't me uh, trying to get all sappy or anything, or ask for pity, but I'm just saying all of this cause uh, just to let you know it didn't really take a whole lot of convincing to win me over for them. The Moon Children, that is. Cause at the beginning, it really wasn't even about that malicious aspect of things, it was just... they just seemed like uh, a group of pretty cool guys that </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. And buddy, I needed it, heh heh." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Those first few years were actually some of the best years of my life. Like they were already </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-ceremonies that </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-this big gay party that meant... uh, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> really, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. Uh, or if they weren't parties, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> these uh, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> where we'd talk about the universe and our place in it. And uh, all that like esoteric, intellectual, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> bullshit. Vigils, that's what they're called, yeah, vigils. Uh, I was able to get into </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> super </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> stuff. Actually </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> time and all that was happening down in Florida. And we didn't really have a cool, super, unique anime-esque reality-jumping powers like the, uh, other guys guys did." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Anyways, uh, after a while, the things they were saying were just making more and more sense to me. I started finding some... "comfort" in the uh... Or uh, the, the Luna they were trying to sell me, at least. Like, real Luna is, uh... yeah. But, eh, either way, it felt like I had actually found my place in life, I finally had something stable in my life. I finally had some people I could truly rely on, and... a direction! That's that's what I mean. I just needed some sort of direction. And they were able to provide it. It felt like I had something waiting for me. Uh, after the end. Oh, heh heh, that's actually... Alright, I guess I should specify right now, I'm not dead. None of us are. Uh, us three here, I mean. I know that's uh, a very weird thing to have to say, but I mean uh, it's the reality of how things are. Like, I figured I would just get that out of the way so there's no misunderstanding." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "But, yeah. After a while they started trusting me more, too. I was able to actually help out with their website a little bit. I'm definitely no </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-networking and all that kind of stuff. Uh, that's more of Seth's specialty, but... </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> at least help out on the site online. So I eventually became moderator which I think you guys are aware of, actually. Uh, around 2010... yeah. September of 2010, um, things really went to shit. I really had no contact with everyone at the time. There were all these </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">)-seperate little parties across the U.S., and Mat just went completely fucking insane. Uh, we still have no idea of what exactly happened. I think Mr. D or, uh, Tenebris I guess as you guys know him had something to do with it. It's really hard to actually piece any of it together on, uhm... Regardless, and for some reason I can't completely understand, uh... </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> spared um, the entire </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> or anything, it's just, um, yeah, I- I don't know why I specifically was spared, because, from my understanding, it was a pretty deliberate ordeal." | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Um, yeah, it was a pretty shitty time to put it lightly. Like all of that- direction I had like, laid out in front of me was just suddenly gone. I'm not trying to get </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> or anything, but it really did feel like I was completely lost at that point in time. I spent the next year or so trying to get my footing, you know, just like reintegrate back into society in a relatively normal way. But it just wasn't the same. Those guys were my best friends. And I know it's probably a weird thing, hearing me say these things about a cult, and yeah, now </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> realized, I guess admit, rather, that's what it was. But, still, I just, I couldn't really move on, no matter how hard I tried. Like nothing ever really seemed to compare to the past few years. Um, </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">-actually checked things out down at the uh, Orchard, or that Orchard, rather. I thought that I'd find some survivors, but I think it was more just for closure, looking back on it. I just had to see that it was all gone with my own eyes, before I could like, finally start to move on, you know…" | ||
+ | |||
+ | "Long story short, I didn't find anything down there. Not </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> that is. I did meet these guys, though, so that's good. But, uh, I think this little call has gone on long enough. I'll stop hogging the mic, and uh, go ahead and let Seth talk to you guys next. If you guys have any questions, please, just go ahead and give them to Ghost. And yeah, I know this is probably a lot to take in, uhm, so yeah if you guys have any questions at all, please just send them to Ghost. I'm sure uh, she'll send them our way. But... yeah, that's all from me, for now."</span> | ||

In 2011, Spencer visited Florida to search [[The Orchard]] - this is where he met the other members of the [[Hacker Group]]. Spencer also hints towards some sort of large-scale cataclysm that left the [[Fucked Timeline]] in shambles. | ||

+ | |||
+ | "First question: "How familiar are you guys with the events that took place in our timeline?" | ||
+ | Uh, we're pretty familiar, like we don't have all the details, but our buddies over at the Astral Observatory - they've been keeping us pretty up to date on all the important stuff. Uhm... We used to have another contact that actually used to help us out in this regard, but... It's actually something we'll get to later. Um, let's see..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""What happened to the Harbingers in your time?"" | ||
+ | "So uh, the Harbingers - they never really made an appearance here. Uhm… </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> Internet Detectives or any of the other guys as far as we know. So, if they existed, we never really knew about them. We never really had any interactions with them." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Assuming they survived, how'd the events over at the Within Hubris Tapatalk play out?"" | ||
+ | "Uhm, that'd be something that happened in 2010 right? Yeah, so, uh... That never happened in our timeline. Well, like, 2015 in general, I mean. So, to answer your question - that version of Within Hubris just never existed at all over here." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""If I heard correctly, you said your timeline was absolutely, royally fucked (or something along those lines). Has something actually cataclysmic happened, or is it just that certain people are alive and/or dead?"" | ||
+ | "Yeah cataclysmic is a pretty good word for it. Reality shattering is a bit more accurate, I guess. Like our </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> the sky literally falling in, like, shards. </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> started around 11/11. This is something we'll actually be getting into a little later once everyone's been introduced. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""If a cataclysmic event did occur, how did you guys specifically survive?"" | ||
+ | "Uhh, short answer - Seth. Uhh </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> He wasn't prepared for this specifically like some of these doomsday preppers or anything - he just had a whole bunch of technology that's kind of related to this kind of thing, really. Thanks to him we were able to kinda maneuver all of this in a relatively safe way." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Is "Seth" just an alias of Mason or part of his name?"" | ||
+ | "Uhh ((Laugh)) Damn. You guys have already figured out that Seth is Mason, huh? Uh, well, I guess that's not too hard to figure out based off of our previous conversations. But, no, yeah. Seth is actually Mason's middle name which he just wants to go by using code names and stuff. Let's see what else..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""What led Seth to joining the Moon Children in your timeline?"" | ||
+ | "Alright, so... Seth will probably go over this in more detail when he does his thing. Seth actually joined the Lunar Children - just like he did in your timeline. There's a few differences later on down the line, so... Unless you're referring to when he was sneaking around with Kevin, cause yeah, there was some period where he spied on the Moon Children alongside Kevin, but, um… aside from that he was just in the Lunar Children."</span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Any idea what happened to Jacob? As far as I recall it was Mason that eventually led Jacob to joining the cult."" | ||
+ | "Alright, so, uh... According to Seth, the same stuff happened over here. He invited Jacob into the Lunar Children, they took some kind of special interest in him, and, uh... Yeah. As far as we know that all played out the exact same way." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""What was Kevin like in your timeline? Did he even exist?"" | ||
+ | "Oh yeah, he existed. I didn't ever fully know him that well cause he was only in the Moon Children for a short period of time. I guess even if I did spend more time with him, that wouldn't have really told me anything, cause, I mean... he was just there to, like, spy on us. Who knows how truthful he was even being that whole time. Seth was pretty close to him, but some things happened... I think that's just something that maybe Seth should tell you guys." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Who else is with you?"" | ||
+ | "Haha, alright, I'm gonna be an asshole with that one and just let you guys wait and find out cause I want that to be a little bit of a surprise for you." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Do the Lunar Children exist in your timeline?"" | ||
+ | "Oh yeah. Well, they existed, rather. From what we understand, they were pretty similar to the Lunar Children in your timeline. They haven't existed since 2011, actually. That's something we'll cover too later." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""If you were spared, any idea who else was transcended into the third giant (Assuming they were at all)?"" | ||
+ | "That's actually something that </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. This is something we've been debating for quite a while now, cause from what we understand, they were really, um, no giants transcended at all. As for why that is, we have absolutely no idea, but it seems to have been a pretty deliberate difference in the timelines, so... Yeah, that's something we'll have to talk on more." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Any chance you could tell us more about the Astral Observatory from your timeline, or if they name BUP or Nocta ring a bell? "" | ||
+ | "Um, yeah. That's something I wish we had more information on. It's kinda hard for us to get info on that considering our status. If I'm understanding correctly, the Astral Observatory that shares a name is pretty different. I only know BUP from what Grey and the others have told me., but Nocta... Yeah, the Nocta in our time just seems to be a completely different guy. But, um… Yeah, no, we really don't have any information on the Astral Observatory. It seems to be a pretty legitimate organization, though. It's actually </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> - it's not just like some tiny online forum or something." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Any chance Seth could teach us about the networking terms and devices the MC were using? We've heard of things such as "link aggregation" from Lunar Children works that we really don't know anything about."" | ||
+ | "If you guys need to know more about, like, specific gadgets he's working, on I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you about them. He's got a shitload of them, honestly, but for link aggregation specifically... I think that's just a generic networking term, actually. Like, uh, it's possible it could have been something more, cause it does kind of sound like something the Astral Observatory guys we're trying </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip">. When it comes to Seth and his gadgets, if you have any things specifically you want to ask him about, he'll tell you all about it." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Sorry for so many I just shat out all the ones I had in mind"" | ||
+ | "It's all good. Any and all questions are welcome. It's important we're all on the same page on this kind of stuff." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Obligatory "GhostBabel you're no middle-man, you're a middle-woman""" | ||
+ | "Yeah, that's true. Haha." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""There is some serious interference going on in the latest transmission which cut out what sounded like key details. Is it possible for you to investigate if your connection has been compromised?"" | ||
+ | "Alright, so we've been keeping a close eye on this, and so far there doesn't seem to be any, like signs of, uh… doesn't seem to be any signs of foul play or anything. Really we just have that interference </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> environment out here. These signals have to go incredibly far to reach you guys, so who knows what kinds of weird bullshit it has to go through to get there." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Following up this question; who is the person that we're supposed to know that caused things to go to shit at the vigils? The audio distorted considerably during this section."" | ||
+ | "Actually not sure what exactly you guys are referring to. I take it the interference really fucked us up there, so I'm guessing what you're referring to is the night where everything went to shit for the Moon Children. Yeah, so what I was saying about that was Mat went insane or something. We think it was due to Mr. D, or Tenebris, as you guys know him." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ""Could you go into more detail about the nature of your Luna? Do you know if it differs from the astral entity Luna that we're dealing with?"" | ||
+ | "Information about the real Luna is actually pretty hard to come by. There's just so much bullshit spun local Lunar and Moon Children that just </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> so breaking from that neutral entity that exists out here somewhere. So when I say I was interested in the Luna the Moon Children were trying to sell me, I </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> I was into this sort of reigning, loving goddess that they </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> was, but I think the actual entity that exists out there is just a constant being that exists beyond time. No matter where or when you're from, this asshole is just-" </span>((Unintelligible))<span class="vip"> | ||
+ | |||

I guess you're referring to, like, layers of reality itself, or the Parallelos is what the Lunar Children called it. Yeah, there's a lot of different layers in the Paralellos, actually. I know the Lunar Children always tried to quantify it - put it in a more scientific method than we always did. They seemed to get a lot of things right and some things they just pulled out of their ass. First there's the physical world we all know right? The overworld is what they called it I'm pretty sure. So above that, actually more like surrounding that cause - it's like this digital realm. It's - I guess digital is putting it into kind of simple terms it's more like empty space that they fill with digital constructs. SKM was actually the one who sent a lot of this to us back then. So he's really the expert on this kind of stuff. Empty space - null space is I think what they called it. Is where they did all their like digital experiments with like creating worlds and shit. There are also several different layers within the digital shit itself. I don't really think we need to go into all the specifics of that.

Really it's like a big death pit almost.

Spencer (Fucked)
Name | Spencer (Fucked) |
---|---|
Alias | Dusk Duskworld23 Darkworld23 |
Affiliation | Moon Children Hacker Group |
Gender | Male |
Status | Alive |
Relations | Mason (Fucked) (Friend) IsocelesAssassin (Friend) GHOSTBABEL (Ally) Spencer (Prime Self) |
Spencer, also known as Dusk, is a former member of the Moon Children who has joined the Hacker Group.
Story
Spencer was born sometime in the 90's in New York. As a teenager, Spencer seemingly had no clear direction or goals in life and his relationship with his family was slowly deteriorating over time. In 2006, he came in contact with the Moon Children, who welcomed him with open arms. Spencer felt at home with the cult, making new friends and finding purpose. Over time, Spencer became a devout follower of Luna and began rising through the ranks of the cult. Eventually, he became a moderator on the cult's website - Youshouldnthavedonethat.net. Here, he became the cult's technical consultant.
On September 19th, the Moon Children held several parties across the United States. During this time, Mat was infused with Lunar Children knowledge and the will of Tenebris. Mat then proceeded to kill off nearly all of the Moon Children, seemingly sparing only Spencer. No longer having any direction in life, Spencer attempted to find survivors at The Orchard in 2011. Instead, Spencer met the other members of the Hacker Group. At some point, a great cataclysm began destroying the Fucked Timeline, resulting in Spencer and the other members of the Hacker Group escaping somehow.
Over the next several years, Spencer and the other members of the Hacker Group worked behind the scenes. At some point, Spencer met SKM who also was briefly involved with the Hacker Group. In 2018, Spencer and the others communicated with IsocelesAssassin via their Transmission Device and the Astral Observatory. They hatched a plan together involving time travel and IsocelesAssassin acting as "The Gray Man". Over the next few years, Spencer and the others worked on a Data Bomb that would allow the players to access Johnisdead.com by breaking into the Subspace. Unfortunately, this plan went awry when Pumpkinhead stole the Data Bomb and used it on the Safehaven Discord Server, damaging the Hacker Group's transmission device in the process.
In December of 2020, Spencer and the others were finally able to contact their allies once again after the players discovered their communication code within Johnisdead.com. The Hacker Group then began sending transmissions to the Astral Observatory via GHOSTBABEL, who would then give them to the players. Spencer was at the forefront of these transmissions, greeting the players and explaining their current situation.
Personality
Spencer seems to have a fairly laid back and casual personality, chatting with the players in a relatively calm demeanor despite the odd circumstances.
Alternate Incarnations
Other timeline versions of Spencer.
Prime Spencer varies enough from this incarnation of Spencer to warrant their own page - Spencer.
In the Prime Timeline, Spencer presumably shared a similar past to this Spencer. However, he was not spared when Mat killed the Moon Children in 2010, as he was transcended into one of The Four Giants alongside Alex.

"Hello! Hello! Hello Gray Man. This is a test ((Intelligible)) Uh I'm just up here trying out our new transmission device. Uh, we've actually never tried this thing out before, so I guess this is uh, this is also a 'virgin flight' just like our little base here, heh heh. Uh, hopefully it doesn't explode in my face. This thing is a lot more crudely thrown together than the previous one. Uh, that's not me shitting on you Seth, that's actually just, the truth, heh" ((Intelligible))
"Uh, our previous one, uh, that thing's, that thing's the fucking magnum opus, the thing's-very impressive, considering all we had to work with. Uh, ((Intelligible)) I know my audio quality is pretty shit. That's not actually the transmission itself, ((Intelligible))-equipment ((Intelligible)) And I'm not sure what caused that, just... something ((Intelligible)) is just not healthy for electronics it seems, or something, I don't know exactly how all that works. But uh, hey, as long as you're able to understand us... Uh, if not, we might have to resort to morse code. God forbid, hah, I don't think anyone actually likes dealing with morse code, but, if that's what we gotta do, that's what we gotta do, so... Hopefully it doesn't come to that, hopefully you're actually able to understand what I'm saying, but uhh, I- I guess we'll see here in a moment when you see this."
"Uh, we were able to hear you loud and clear, but just go ahead and send this audio file back ((Intelligible)) just so we can be absolutely sure we're understanding one another. And uh, yeah. That's pretty much it. Uh, go ahead and send this audio file when you can, and hopefully we'll hear from you soon!"
Summary
- Spencer sends out a test transmission and greets IsocelesAssassin. He mentions that Seth built a Transmission Device of their own.
12/23/20 - "TRANS002.mp3" - Astral Observatory Forums
"Alright, hell yeah. Uh, we got this thing working, so buddy we're fucking cooking now. Uh, heh, this is actually pretty exciting. Uh, we've been cooped up here, isolated from pretty much everything for what seems like years now. Just feels so good ((Intelligible))- reach out, even if it is a pretty shitty method overall, archaic, but uh, still, just any little bit just feels.... just like uh, it just makes a world of difference, really."
"Alright, so, uh, before anything, I just want to say to all of the uh, hah hah, I guess, I guess harbingers is a bit of an antiquated term at this point. Uh, Detectives. Yeah, to all the uh, all the detectives out there who made this possible... Um, thank you, honestly. Uh, from what I understand, y'all've really been our uh, eyes and ears out there in the series of portals that connect all these uh- "realms" I guess is a good term for it- all these portals that connect to these realms we've found ourselves floating through. Even continuing to do so even after hearing that you're "counterparts" have been... removed. Um, you've really been sticking your neck out there for us, and I really respect that. So, again, thank you. Of course, big thanks to Gray Man and Ghost as well, without them we'd still be completely aimless out here. Gray, you've always been an excellent field guy for us. LITERALLY risking your life out there, from what I understand. I really can't thank you enough. And uh, Ghost, you've been a uh.... ah, you've been a great middleman. Heh, even though you might find such a term insulting, uh... But uh, really, again, thank you, all of you."
"Alright, now that that uh, sappy bullshit is out of the way, I guess we should uh, get down to brass tacks and introduce ourselves. Let me say right upfront, sorry for all the secrecy surrounding our identities. We've had some trouble before regarding the identity of one of our members just, leaking out in the past, and... we're not exactly in the safest of positions right now, so… We really, we've just ((Intelligible)) awful. Uh, in addition to that, uh, things are pretty... "different" here from what you're all familiar with. I imagine that's just flatly revealing our identities. Before now it'd just cause more confusion and not really help work towards the tasks that we're at, and, so, yeah, sorry about all the cryptic bullshit, that's just how it's had to be on our end for a while now. But, uh, now there's really no need for any of that. This is a pretty secure setup we're working off of right now, so, uh, yeah, it's time to" ((Intelligible))
"Uh, actually, this one has gone on for a bit long. Uh, okay. I'll go ahead and send this out, I'm not sure exactly how big these files can be, so uh, I guess we're still technically in the testing phase of all this stuff. Alright, yeah. Yeah. I'll go ahead and send this one out, and uh, after that we'll go ahead and do some introductions."
Summary
- Spencer thanks IsocelesAssassin, GHOSTBABEL, and the players for helping them. He then apologizes for the secretive nature of their communication, referencing the risks SKM once went through once their identity was revealed. He claims that they will begin revealing their identities in future transmissions, however.
12/24/20 - "TRANS003.mp3" - Astral Observatory Forums
"Okay, looks like the uh, previous transmission was able to send just fine. That's good! Uh, alright, so, now actually explain what the fuck is going on. Uh, not sure where to begin. Okay, here, uh, I should probably just start off by saying ((Unintelligible)) that that we are not actually native to the uh, I guess yeah, the timeline. ((Unintelligible)) -talking about the sci-fi fucking ((Unintelligible)) some shit. ((Unintelligible))- is. Uh, we are not native to the uh, the timeline that ((Unintelligible)). ((Unintelligible))-probably already over that, actually. Uh, we just call it the Astral Timeline, just for simplicity's sake. Uh, because Astral Observatory seems to be a pretty, "unique entity" from what we've seen. Um, for the most part. I believe there may have actually been some incarnation of it back in uh, our time, but it was pretty different from what it is now, so. Sorry, I'm off topic already."
"Uh, yeah, we're not native to the Astral Timeline, and we're actually not from the timeline you're all familiar with. We're actually from a completely different timeline that's just been "absolutely royally fucked" for lack of a better term. Like, it's honestly a miracle we're even here to... "be" at all, considering what took place. Um, yeah, I'm sure that this is probably a lot to take in, but... Uh, here, maybe it's better if we just go through our own stories and tell it to you that way. Cause that might be a more easily digestible way to explain all this crazy bullshit. I think It'll be easier on both of us, so we'll just do it like that."
"So uh... oh god, I haven't even introduced myself yet, have I? Uhm, I'm Dusk. Well, that's what they called me around here anyways, I guess. We had our own little epic code names we go by for safety. But uh... hey, Seth, can we just drop all that ((Unintelligible))-bullshit in there, right? Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, there's really no need for us to be back here, it's ((Unintelligible)). Secure line ((Unintelligible)) going on. So uh, yeah. My real name is Spencer. I'm sure you're all vaguely familiar with me, or, uh, another me, rather, from your ((Unintelligible)). Uh, I like art, video games, dumb movies, uhh... heh heh. Uh, I should probably just ((Unintelligible)). Quote-en-quote."
"Uhh, let's see. In... 2006? I think? Yeah, 2006. Uh, in 2006, ((Unintelligible))actually a pretty rough patch in my life. Uh, that seems like nothing now that everything's all fucked and ((Unintelligible)). But, back then my uh, my parents and I had never really had that great of a relationship. I didn't have any clear direction in my life. Highschool ((Unintelligible)) and I really had no idea what I wanted to major in, or if I really wanted to go to college. Like, this isn't me uh, trying to get all sappy or anything, or ask for pity, but I'm just saying all of this cause uh, just to let you know it didn't really take a whole lot of convincing to win me over for them. The Moon Children, that is. Cause at the beginning, it really wasn't even about that malicious aspect of things, it was just... they just seemed like uh, a group of pretty cool guys that ((Unintelligible)). And buddy, I needed it, heh heh."
"Those first few years were actually some of the best years of my life. Like they were already ((Unintelligible))-ceremonies that ((Unintelligible))-this big gay party that meant... uh, ((Unintelligible)) really, ((Unintelligible)). Uh, or if they weren't parties, ((Unintelligible)) these uh, ((Unintelligible)) where we'd talk about the universe and our place in it. And uh, all that like esoteric, intellectual, ((Unintelligible)) bullshit. Vigils, that's what they're called, yeah, vigils. Uh, I was able to get into ((Unintelligible)) super ((Unintelligible)) stuff. Actually ((Unintelligible)) time and all that was happening down in Florida. And we didn't really have a cool, super, unique anime-esque reality-jumping powers like the, uh, other guys guys did."
"Anyways, uh, after a while, the things they were saying were just making more and more sense to me. I started finding some... "comfort" in the uh... Or uh, the, the Luna they were trying to sell me, at least. Like, real Luna is, uh... yeah. But, eh, either way, it felt like I had actually found my place in life, I finally had something stable in my life. I finally had some people I could truly rely on, and... a direction! That's that's what I mean. I just needed some sort of direction. And they were able to provide it. It felt like I had something waiting for me. Uh, after the end. Oh, heh heh, that's actually... Alright, I guess I should specify right now, I'm not dead. None of us are. Uh, us three here, I mean. I know that's uh, a very weird thing to have to say, but I mean uh, it's the reality of how things are. Like, I figured I would just get that out of the way so there's no misunderstanding."
"But, yeah. After a while they started trusting me more, too. I was able to actually help out with their website a little bit. I'm definitely no ((Unintelligible))-networking and all that kind of stuff. Uh, that's more of Seth's specialty, but... ((Unintelligible)) at least help out on the site online. So I eventually became moderator which I think you guys are aware of, actually. Uh, around 2010... yeah. September of 2010, um, things really went to shit. I really had no contact with everyone at the time. There were all these ((Unintelligible)))-seperate little parties across the U.S., and Mat just went completely fucking insane. Uh, we still have no idea of what exactly happened. I think Mr. D or, uh, Tenebris I guess as you guys know him had something to do with it. It's really hard to actually piece any of it together on, uhm... Regardless, and for some reason I can't completely understand, uh... ((Unintelligible)) spared um, the entire ((Unintelligible)) or anything, it's just, um, yeah, I- I don't know why I specifically was spared, because, from my understanding, it was a pretty deliberate ordeal."
"Um, yeah, it was a pretty shitty time to put it lightly. Like all of that- direction I had like, laid out in front of me was just suddenly gone. I'm not trying to get ((Unintelligible)) or anything, but it really did feel like I was completely lost at that point in time. I spent the next year or so trying to get my footing, you know, just like reintegrate back into society in a relatively normal way. But it just wasn't the same. Those guys were my best friends. And I know it's probably a weird thing, hearing me say these things about a cult, and yeah, now ((Unintelligible)) realized, I guess admit, rather, that's what it was. But, still, I just, I couldn't really move on, no matter how hard I tried. Like nothing ever really seemed to compare to the past few years. Um, ((Unintelligible))-actually checked things out down at the uh, Orchard, or that Orchard, rather. I thought that I'd find some survivors, but I think it was more just for closure, looking back on it. I just had to see that it was all gone with my own eyes, before I could like, finally start to move on, you know…"
"Long story short, I didn't find anything down there. Not ((Unintelligible)) that is. I did meet these guys, though, so that's good. But, uh, I think this little call has gone on long enough. I'll stop hogging the mic, and uh, go ahead and let Seth talk to you guys next. If you guys have any questions, please, just go ahead and give them to Ghost. And yeah, I know this is probably a lot to take in, uhm, so yeah if you guys have any questions at all, please just send them to Ghost. I'm sure uh, she'll send them our way. But... yeah, that's all from me, for now."
Summary
- Spencer reveals his identity to the players and explains his history with the Moon Children. He claims to be one of the only survivors of Mat's massacre that wiped out the cult. In 2011, Spencer visited Florida to search The Orchard - this is where he met the other members of the Hacker Group. Spencer also hints towards some sort of large-scale cataclysm that left the Fucked Timeline in shambles.
1/11/21 - "TRANS004.mp3" - Astral Observatory Forums
"Hey, uh… Before we can really send out Seth's, uh, little introduction transmission here ((Unintelligible)) I can go through the list and answer 'em best I can. I hope it will clear up some stuff. So, yeah. Let's go ahead and see what we got."
"First question: "How familiar are you guys with the events that took place in our timeline?"
Uh, we're pretty familiar, like we don't have all the details, but our buddies over at the Astral Observatory - they've been keeping us pretty up to date on all the important stuff. Uhm... We used to have another contact that actually used to help us out in this regard, but... It's actually something we'll get to later. Um, let's see..."
""What happened to the Harbingers in your time?""
"So uh, the Harbingers - they never really made an appearance here. Uhm… ((Unintelligible)) Internet Detectives or any of the other guys as far as we know. So, if they existed, we never really knew about them. We never really had any interactions with them."
""Assuming they survived, how'd the events over at the Within Hubris Tapatalk play out?""
"Uhm, that'd be something that happened in 2010 right? Yeah, so, uh... That never happened in our timeline. Well, like, 2015 in general, I mean. So, to answer your question - that version of Within Hubris just never existed at all over here."
""If I heard correctly, you said your timeline was absolutely, royally fucked (or something along those lines). Has something actually cataclysmic happened, or is it just that certain people are alive and/or dead?""
"Yeah cataclysmic is a pretty good word for it. Reality shattering is a bit more accurate, I guess. Like our ((Unintelligible)) the sky literally falling in, like, shards. ((Unintelligible)) started around 11/11. This is something we'll actually be getting into a little later once everyone's been introduced. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes."
""If a cataclysmic event did occur, how did you guys specifically survive?""
"Uhh, short answer - Seth. Uhh ((Unintelligible)) He wasn't prepared for this specifically like some of these doomsday preppers or anything - he just had a whole bunch of technology that's kind of related to this kind of thing, really. Thanks to him we were able to kinda maneuver all of this in a relatively safe way."
""Is "Seth" just an alias of Mason or part of his name?""
"Uhh ((Laugh)) Damn. You guys have already figured out that Seth is Mason, huh? Uh, well, I guess that's not too hard to figure out based off of our previous conversations. But, no, yeah. Seth is actually Mason's middle name which he just wants to go by using code names and stuff. Let's see what else..."
""What led Seth to joining the Moon Children in your timeline?""
"Alright, so... Seth will probably go over this in more detail when he does his thing. Seth actually joined the Lunar Children - just like he did in your timeline. There's a few differences later on down the line, so... Unless you're referring to when he was sneaking around with Kevin, cause yeah, there was some period where he spied on the Moon Children alongside Kevin, but, um… aside from that he was just in the Lunar Children."((Unintelligible))
""Any idea what happened to Jacob? As far as I recall it was Mason that eventually led Jacob to joining the cult.""
"Alright, so, uh... According to Seth, the same stuff happened over here. He invited Jacob into the Lunar Children, they took some kind of special interest in him, and, uh... Yeah. As far as we know that all played out the exact same way."
""What was Kevin like in your timeline? Did he even exist?""
"Oh yeah, he existed. I didn't ever fully know him that well cause he was only in the Moon Children for a short period of time. I guess even if I did spend more time with him, that wouldn't have really told me anything, cause, I mean... he was just there to, like, spy on us. Who knows how truthful he was even being that whole time. Seth was pretty close to him, but some things happened... I think that's just something that maybe Seth should tell you guys."
""Who else is with you?""
"Haha, alright, I'm gonna be an asshole with that one and just let you guys wait and find out cause I want that to be a little bit of a surprise for you."
""Do the Lunar Children exist in your timeline?""
"Oh yeah. Well, they existed, rather. From what we understand, they were pretty similar to the Lunar Children in your timeline. They haven't existed since 2011, actually. That's something we'll cover too later."
""If you were spared, any idea who else was transcended into the third giant (Assuming they were at all)?""
"That's actually something that ((Unintelligible)). This is something we've been debating for quite a while now, cause from what we understand, they were really, um, no giants transcended at all. As for why that is, we have absolutely no idea, but it seems to have been a pretty deliberate difference in the timelines, so... Yeah, that's something we'll have to talk on more."
""Any chance you could tell us more about the Astral Observatory from your timeline, or if they name BUP or Nocta ring a bell? ""
"Um, yeah. That's something I wish we had more information on. It's kinda hard for us to get info on that considering our status. If I'm understanding correctly, the Astral Observatory that shares a name is pretty different. I only know BUP from what Grey and the others have told me., but Nocta... Yeah, the Nocta in our time just seems to be a completely different guy. But, um… Yeah, no, we really don't have any information on the Astral Observatory. It seems to be a pretty legitimate organization, though. It's actually ((Unintelligible)) - it's not just like some tiny online forum or something."
""Any chance Seth could teach us about the networking terms and devices the MC were using? We've heard of things such as "link aggregation" from Lunar Children works that we really don't know anything about.""
"If you guys need to know more about, like, specific gadgets he's working, on I'm sure he'll be happy to tell you about them. He's got a shitload of them, honestly, but for link aggregation specifically... I think that's just a generic networking term, actually. Like, uh, it's possible it could have been something more, cause it does kind of sound like something the Astral Observatory guys we're trying ((Unintelligible)). When it comes to Seth and his gadgets, if you have any things specifically you want to ask him about, he'll tell you all about it."
""Sorry for so many I just shat out all the ones I had in mind""
"It's all good. Any and all questions are welcome. It's important we're all on the same page on this kind of stuff."
""Obligatory "GhostBabel you're no middle-man, you're a middle-woman"""
"Yeah, that's true. Haha."
""There is some serious interference going on in the latest transmission which cut out what sounded like key details. Is it possible for you to investigate if your connection has been compromised?""
"Alright, so we've been keeping a close eye on this, and so far there doesn't seem to be any, like signs of, uh… doesn't seem to be any signs of foul play or anything. Really we just have that interference ((Unintelligible)) environment out here. These signals have to go incredibly far to reach you guys, so who knows what kinds of weird bullshit it has to go through to get there."
""Following up this question; who is the person that we're supposed to know that caused things to go to shit at the vigils? The audio distorted considerably during this section.""
"Actually not sure what exactly you guys are referring to. I take it the interference really fucked us up there, so I'm guessing what you're referring to is the night where everything went to shit for the Moon Children. Yeah, so what I was saying about that was Mat went insane or something. We think it was due to Mr. D, or Tenebris, as you guys know him."
""Could you go into more detail about the nature of your Luna? Do you know if it differs from the astral entity Luna that we're dealing with?""
"Information about the real Luna is actually pretty hard to come by. There's just so much bullshit spun local Lunar and Moon Children that just ((Unintelligible)) so breaking from that neutral entity that exists out here somewhere. So when I say I was interested in the Luna the Moon Children were trying to sell me, I ((Unintelligible)) I was into this sort of reigning, loving goddess that they ((Unintelligible)) was, but I think the actual entity that exists out there is just a constant being that exists beyond time. No matter where or when you're from, this asshole is just-" ((Unintelligible))
""What do you know about The Watcher entity? He mentioned that we've fallen into a trap and then went silent.""
"Uh, that's the alien guy, right? Yeah, um... We've been talking about that. I think that was just a general threat directed probably towards Moonman. Either way, from what I can tell - he seems to be completely cut from the observatory anyway, so... We don't really know anything about him but I don't think he's going to be a threat for now."
""Who was the member that had their identity leaked and what happened to them?""
"So, I think I can go ahead and just give y'all this. It was SKM - your SKM specifically, from your timeline. He was actually in contact with us back in 2014. I'm not entirely sure what exactly went down. I think some of our calls ((Unintelligible)) or something, and he had to completely cut off contact with us because he was trying to infiltrate the Lunar Children at the time and he didn't want his cover-" ((Unintelligible))
""What is it that you need us to do? What can we, from a completely separate timeline and without all your "anime-esque reality-jumping" powers, contribute to your cause?""
"So, all of us here cooped up in this little trailer ((Unintelligible)) Observatory. We're all just brittle, ((Unintelligible)) individual fighters in this giant massive game of bullshit. You guys, however... You're a full on investigative force. Whenever you're given a task, you all just swarm on it relentlessly. That's what we need right now. ((Laugh)) Not to play you like our personal army or anything, but, uh, it's just that you guys really are our most powerful warriors in this and right now that's what we need the most."
"one one one two one man"
"who is john"
"Also, Ghost says that someones asking about layers of spheres. Alright, so there's quite a bit to discuss with that. It really depends on what you're referring to. I guess you're referring to, like, layers of reality itself, or the Parallelos is what the Lunar Children called it. Yeah, there's a lot of different layers in the Paralellos, actually. I know the Lunar Children always tried to quantify it - put it in a more scientific method than we always did. They seemed to get a lot of things right and some things they just pulled out of their ass. First there's the physical world we all know right? The overworld is what they called it I'm pretty sure. So above that, actually more like surrounding that cause - it's like this digital realm. It's - I guess digital is putting it into kind of simple terms it's more like empty space that they fill with digital constructs. SKM was actually the one who sent a lot of this to us back then. So he's really the expert on this kind of stuff. Empty space - null space is I think what they called it. Is where they did all their like digital experiments with like creating worlds and shit. There are also several different layers within the digital shit itself. I don't really think we need to go into all the specifics of that. But really I think it's just that same digital idea more and more detached the higher you go. Physical or electronic ((Unintelligible)) I think…"
"Yeah, that's the ((Unintelligible)) for those Sub-Parallelos I think you could call them. Beyond that is like ((Unintelligible)) it's like a sinkhole where all the deceased spirits kind of accumulate and fall into. I think they call that the Parallelos of the Dead. Pretty sure that's what they described it as. Almost like it's some Paralellos idea they were trying to ((Unintelligible)). Really it's like a big death pit almost. Other than that, beyond the Overworld, beyond the Nullspace, beyond the Paralellos of the Dead - that is the Paralellos proper, where all the ascended beings proper go. I believe that might be where Tyler is now." ((Unintelligible))
"As for spheres… This reality we're in is constructed of a lot of different spheres. I'm not exactly sure where you heard the term. I guess they could refer to Parallelos or timelines themselves. They're just like various spheres of influence which seem to exist within the Paralellos. It really depends on what you're referring to."
"Alright, I think that might actually be all the questions for now. Feel free to send more anytime. Yeah it's actually not a burden at all, it's actually real nice to just be able to talk to someone. Really just talk to myself out here. Anyway, I think Seth's about to take over the mic and give his little spiel. We'll go ahead and send this out and get started on the next. So, uh. We'll see you soon."
Summary
- Spencer begins answering many of the players' questions regarding the Fucked Timeline. He also reveals that Seth is the Fucked Timeline version of Mason and explains a bit of his past before describing the Parallelos in more detail. He also coyly hints towards the third member of the Hacker Group, not yet wanting to reveal their identity.
