The story so far...

In the previous section, the players explored a revived Lunarchildren.com. Strangely, the site now seemed to be an archive of an older version of Lunarchildren.com - complete with a retro design. While most of the site conveyed the same general understanding of Lunar Children terminology and lore, some things were a bit different.

Several pages mentioned someone named "Father Alphonse" - an Overseer who predated Vincent and conceived of a theory known as "The Holy Dyad" - the belief that light and dark naturally exist in equals to balance one-another out. The site also mentioned an overseer of The Spire's library named "Jennifer" - possibly referencing either Jinn or Kuu from the Lunar Children Forums. Additionally, the site in general seemed to present the cult's teachings in a far more inviting way. For example, the page for "Deviums" implied that they were in a pleasant state of ecstasy upon their ascension - an obvious lie, considering all of the tormented, trapped Deviums that the players have witnessed up to this point.

Other changes included the name "Sub-Parallelos" being renamed to the "Nullspace" and proper names being given for "The Legend" and the ritual to awaken the giants - "The Secrets and the Thurses" and the "Ceremony of the Thurses Quintessence" respectively. The site also revealed the fact that both Patrem and Tenebris are Finitors - powerful ascended beings who can travel through time. Additionally, the page for the "Father" was rather lofty, implying that the role of "Father" is a sort of universal ruler and that anyone who has ever hold any sort of authoritative role such as "king" has been blessed by Patrem. It also likens the "Father" to a sort of "Master of Time" and claims that part of his duty is to moderate Luna so that she does not destroy all of reality.

The site was also somewhat corrupted, allowing the players to discover several hidden pages. Some of these pages referenced "The Watcher", connecting him to the letters "HCJ" and implying that he was working under Mat... Other pages made repeat references to the number three, implying that there is "Another" and "More than you know" - as well as hinting towards the existence of an alternate version of Kevin - supposedly the "FIRST" version of Kevin. However, details surrounding this were very hazy and not much could be discerned about this supposed alternate Kevin quite yet - only that he potentially possessed a skeletal appearance.

Meanwhile, Greth suddenly returned and resumed uploading and streaming Greth Vlogs as though nothing had happened... It seems that BUP - as well as Patrem - are able to control him at will. It's likely thanks to BUP's meddling that he's unable to recall any of the strange, paranormal occurrences in his life. From Greth's perspective, he simply moved away and fell out of contact with Tyler - no possession or Parallelos chases at all.

Unaware of BUP and Patrem's presence within him, Greth is currently working on a record label on Bandcamp.com - one that's ominously named "Astral Observatory". He claims that this name came to him in a dream about a year ago. While Greth works on these albums, it's implied that BUP is also partially responsible for them as well... Additionally, another incarnation of Greth simply called "Researcher Greth" seems to hold some connection to these albums as well. Namely, Researcher Greth supposedly works at some sort of group or organization that is being sent these albums... How exactly Researcher Greth ties into all of this is unknown - it's possible that he's simply another alternate version of Greth from an unknown timeline that BUP holds some control over.

Eventually, BUP decides to play another game with the players - one that picks up where the Dungeons & Dragons game ended off. This "game" was the release of a mysterious album on Greth's record label - "Ascended E-Girl". It quickly became clear that this wasn't a normal album - it was actually entirely based around Yuukichan and the Astral Observatory in general. Interestingly, the album also contained several references to the player Wolfcat - namely through the presence of his infamous "Dream Emoji", his song "Out of my League", and the "Poe in a Bottle" that was previously used to represent him in the Dungeons & Dragons game.

Around this same time, Yuukichan contacted the players on Discord. Here, she claimed that she was still trapped within Astralobservatory.net - though presumably not for much longer... Yuukichan proceeded to post Wolfcat's "Poe in a Bottle" once again before claiming that the players needed to rescue both her and a mysterious individual referred to as "AW" from some sort of dungeon... Closer inspection of the "Ascended E-Girl" album page revealed what exactly this dungeon was - a pre-loaded "Link's Awakening" dungeon on an Amiibo.

It seems that Yuukichan's spirit - as well as the spirit of this mysterious "AW" - were now within an Amiibo, just as Munnin had planned back during the Dungeons & Dragons game. Now, all the players had to do was retrieve the physical version of "Ascended E-Girl" and the Amiibo that came with it, load the custom dungeon from the Amiibo into "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening", and complete it. Doing this would finally free both Yuukichan and "AW".

This album also contained other secrets as well - one of them being the secret key-phrase "SKELETONKEY". This was supposedly one of the two keys that the players needed to access the locked Subspace on Astralobservatory.net. With Yuukichan's spirit finally removed from the site and one key down, it seemed that the players were closer than ever to reaching their goal - all they needed to do now was wait for contact from their allies. However, with TheLaw supposedly compromised and BUP's influence growing, a sense of urgency was in the air...
