• At 4:23 PM, a new video was uploaded to the Silentdork YouTube channel - "Hesitation". This video contained distorted footage, cryptic text, and plenty of ciphers.

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."
"ORANGE HALF OF FUTURE WHOLE"

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"

"HARRY"
"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?"
"FINITOR DYAD"

"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."
"YOU LET HIM GO DOWN THERE ON HIS OWN?"

"WHAT DID YOU TWO TALK ABOUT?"
"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 RESEARCHERS 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."
"PROGENITOR"

"ARTISTS"
"Do you know why I wear this mask, Sheep?"
"It's because the Lunar Children need a leader."
"CONFESSIONS"

"JANUS"
"Mindshape has been resurrected from its previous terminal state into a completely new form."
"BIFROST"

"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."
"NOCTA LIES EVEN TO HIMSELF."

"SHE SPEAKS TO TRAITORS"
"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."

"HE CRIES FOR HINA"
"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?"
"WE THOUGHT YOU 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!".
• At 11:11 PM, a video was uploaded to the Greth Vlogs YouTube channel - "rendevous". This video contained footage of what appeared to be the Parallelos and a conversation between two individuals.

4/23/21 - "rendevous" - YouTube (Greth Vlogs)

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."
"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?"

"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...?"

Summary

• Two unknown entities discuss whether or not they should take action against a "troublemaker".
• The two unknown entities decide to use a series of codewords for further communication.

• At 8:45 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner image changed several times, cycling through various distorted images of Patrem and Hank.
• At 10:18 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "https://vocaroo.com/1hUrhlFCIFql" - a link to an audio file containing a deep voice that reads as follows:

5/2/21 - Vocaroo Audio File - Discord (Internet Detectives)

((Unintelligible)) "There in the distance. That song ((Unintelligible)) and I will know that I have no ((Unintelligible)) Those songs that play - every word is with meaning. ((Unintelligible)) listening. Go there to me."

• At 10:37 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "He is the answer" in the "#announcements" text-channel.
• At 10:41 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server and sent the message "ettps://vonhroo.nol/1eUrejCNFCqj".
• At 10:58 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner image changed to a distorted screenshot of the gate in the "Treeline" Janus room.
• At 11:04 AM, the player thelostbrineinthewoods discovered that a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/compound". This page was titled "Compound" and contained the image "realm.gif", just like the pages "https://johnisdead.com/realm" and "https://johnisdead.com/treeline" before it. This page also contained the "Compound" Janus room.

5/2/21 - "Compound" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This Janus room was a continuation of the "Treeline" and "Realm" Janus rooms. It could be accessed by opening a new portal that had been placed in the "Treeline" Janus room at the gate on the other side of the woods. This Janus room contained the Fishery as it appeared in the past before it fell into ruins. Upon approaching the grounds surrounding the fishery, a quiet, foreboding song would play. There was now a large sign hanging on the wall outside of the fishery that contained a cartoon drawing of Hank Hubbard and text that reads:

"Hubbard Fishery"
"Fishing Supplies and More..."
"'mo betta!"

There were also several vehicles parked outside of the fishery, as well as a dumpster. The rest of the fishery grounds were blocked by a large fence. The road leading to the fishery continued down another path that was blocked by an invisible wall and a gate.

The first room of the fishery was structured as a convenience store with fishing supplies. In this building, an hour-long audio file played over the store's radio. This audio file contained the following:

"Hello Darlin'" by Conway Twitty

"There's a Stranger In My House" by Ronnie Milsap
"Neon Moon" by Brooks & Dunn

"Do you like fishin'? How bout fresh fish? When our boy ain't out fishin' by ((Unintelligible)) , he's down home with the family catching and cooking the best fish here at ((Loud noise)) Now come on down and get you some at Hubbard's, where the fish are mo' betta!"

...I would catch a fish with my bare hands, but now I don't have to. ((Unintelligible)) You would think my family would appreciate all the fish I bring in, but nope, they kill my baby cause I am a girl that came from a fucked up family that doesn't like the darker shade that I am. I'm the cursed sister, stuck in the middle who learned the truth too when they wanted me. Three, the lies they all told to cover it up, make it look worse. They turned the people around on me. So where do I come in, I'll tell you the truth, but it really wouldn't matter in the end. Why? Because people don't care about another struggle till you ((Unintelligible)) I would be a hard ball to factor. I'll probably make a move. Here's the others, two true stories that nobody cared about.

So here are my mom's lies everybody seems to trust so much but fuck it. I'm done. They all said fuck this ((Unintelligible)) I give up now. But he said I could get more by myself and the truth. I, only one now, I weep where I used to ((Unintelligible)) I am the heart, part of the truth. My story never changed no matter who I'm questioned against. The worst and baddest of them all. I've been beaten down. Two ((Unintelligible)) above it all. To be kicked out by my own kind family. ((Unintelligible)) Last month, black and white, if they don't see me so fuck em all. I don't give in. I don't surrender. But now that you know, now you are ((Unintelligible)) I know the truth. And it shall set me free once and for all. All four of you suck. And you know what?

"Harvest Moon" by Neil Young
"Five Years" by David Bowie

On the walls were three missing person posters for:

"VIKTOR ANDERSON"
"Tracie McBride"
"ROSS JASON WILLIAMS"

An advertisement could also be found hanging on some racks that read:

"50% OFF!"
"All bait & tackle!"
"Ask about our..."
"2-FOR-1 DEALS"

A paper was found on the counter that read as follows:

"ALLOW COMMISSIONER JARVIS HOUSE KEY AND POND ACCESS"
"Call JJ about loaned boat."
This paper also contained what appears to be a phone number that's been marked out.

On the wall behind the counter was a cipher that translated to the following:

"ANCIENT LETTERS LOST IN FOREST"

A door in the store led to what appeared to be a small employee rest room. Here, the following cipher was found written on the wall surrounding a drawing of BEN's face:

"GIFTED LOST CONDUIT TO HIS NEW DARK LORD"

Players found several papers on a table in this room. One of these papers was a menu for a restaurant named:

"Meemaw's Family Diner"

Next to this was what appeared to be a newspaper draft with the following written on it:

"THE OBSERVER"
"Meemaw's Shut Down"
"Body Found in Fishery"
"Foreclosing"

This room also led to Hank Hubbard's office. In the corner of this room was a scrap of paper with a drawing of Patrem on it with the following text:

"THE HUNTED WILL BE HIS DESTINATION"

This room contained a desk with a computer sitting atop it. Next to the computer were several papers with the following written on them:

((The Pigpen cipher key is written along with a star))

"Computer info back in drawer left of bed. Change: Add to all letters in User / Pass:"
"4 9 1 14 1"

A large paper with the number "2" written on it.

"A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O..."
"D I A N A D I A N A D I A N A..."
"E K D R F J P I W K O U N B P...?"
"NEW MOONS CLEAR EQUIPMENT FROM RITUAL HALL FOR NEXT MOON VIGIL"

Players discovered that clicking on the paper with the "2" written on it would result in a video appearing. This video contained the following text:

"USERNAME" - Written in blue.
"PASSWORD" - Written in red.

Near the desk in this room was a shelf with two letters on it. These read as follows:

"Hello, Hank. You don't know me, but I've heard stories about you. I've heard rumos that She spoke to you, and I want to know more. I want to speak with her too - I have to make amends with my family, but the others won't tell me the truth. They told me you died and that you spoke only falsehoods. I don't believe it."

"Your son is still here. Ben? He's strange in ways the others aren't ever really able to describe. It's like he both is and isn't here at times, as if he is blinking in and out, wandering off and disappearing then reappearing without warning. It's odd. It has something to do with you and your connection to Her, doesn't it? I knew it had to be a lie, none of the stories lined up. That's when Jarvis spoke to me and told me everything."

"I know you may not trust me. I understand that. I'm willing to undergo whatever vetting necessary to join you in pursuit of the truth. I can give you information on the Moon Children's current activities if that helps any. I promise you this is not a ploy of any kind, I really have nothing else in my life except Luna. I hope to hear back from or a correspondent of yours soon. "

"William Reynolds"

"Well howdy there, stranger. I heard you'e a bit shot around these parts, so I figured I oughta acquaint myself, hahaha. When you didn't respond to my calls, I figured getting to you in a more traditional format might be a bit more effective. It's a bit ironic, isn't it? Back in the day, I would have been able to just stop right on in and deliver this to you myself, but then they had to up and change my route on me. I tell ya, that's a hell of a thinig to do to an old man such as myself, hahaha. My memory ain't what it used to be."

"I hear things at work are going much better for yourself. I'm glad to hear it, at least one of us has their affairs in order, hahaha. Speaking of which, me and ol' Sam were thinkin' about taking Hunter on his first fishing trip. You wouldn't mind cuttin' the boys a good deal on one of them tours, would ya'? Hahahaha, I think it's about time the kiddo gets some hair on his chest."

"SAMUEL PROMOTED YESTERDAY FORCE IS NOW WITH YOU"

"The kiddo needs a playmate. It's a shame about Mat, I imagined he and Hunter would have gotten along swell. Let's get the ol' boys back together again sometime soon."

"Fuddie Duddie JJ"

Exiting this building would lead players to the other side of the fence, where they could enter into the small room found in the previous version of the fishery. This room now had a tiled floor with some blood splattered on it. There was also a grate found in the corner of the room that seemed to lead down into a basement of sorts. This room was inaccessible, however.

On the outside wall of this room, players discovered the following written on the wall surrounding a drawing of a disturbing gas mask:

"ASHES BEGET OBLIVION"
"THE SURROGATE DISPOSED"

Players could also access the fishery's courtyard, where two faceless angel statues could be found, as well as what appeared to be a moon dial atop a wooden structure. Entering into another door would lead players into the larger part of the fishery compound. The first room was a small gallery of sorts containing four portraits:
- A man with a snake-like head.
- A man with a pig head.
- A man with a aquatic monster-like head.
- A man with a dog head.
This room also contained a statue of a crouched figure with symbols drawn on its shoulders. Players discovered that walking through the portrait of a man with a dog head would lead to a fenced-in location outside. Here, the following could be found written on the walls surrounding a drawing of a hand grasping at a flaming figure:

"FALSE KING OF FAKE WORLDS"
"HIS POWER WAS NO MORE"

Next to this was another drawing of several spirits floating up to the Regiminis sigil with the Moon from Majora's Mask overlooking it. The following text was found surrounding this drawing:

"THE PETTY ONE OVERTHROWN IN THE GARDEN OF NO END"
"A LOSS GREATER THAN THAT OF HIS OTHER"

The small gallery also contained a doorway that led into a larger room adorned with awards, pottery, and five paintings on the walls. These pictures were classic paintings of gods and goddesses. Each one was labelled with a cipher and contained a red and blue figure. These paintings were as follows:

Painting: "Diana and Callisto" by Titian

Label: "BETWEEN"
Red Figure: Callisto
Blue Figure: Artemis

Painting: "Juno and the Peacock" by Antonio Balestra
Label: "YADHTRIB"
Red Figure: Argus
Blue Figure: Juno

Painting: "Juno Asking Aeolus to Release the Winds" by François Boucher
Label: "UNDECIMNOCTE"
Red Figure: Aeolus
Blue Figure: Juno

Painting: "Diana and Endymion" by Francesco Solimena
Label: "OTHER ONE"
Red Figure: Endymion
Blue Figure: Diana

Painting: "Jupiter and Juno" by Franz Christoph Janneck
Label: "SECT"
Red Figure: Jupiter
Blue Figure: Juno

This room also entered into a small bathroom, though there wasn't anything of note in here. Next to the bathroom, however, was an entrance to a small library. This library contained several pictures hanging on the walls showing different locations from the "Treeline" Janus room. Also in this room were papers containing the full translations of two unknown languages seen around the Janus room and the video "Hesitation". The characters that are made up of many lines and arrows were labelled:

"GHOST HALL LETTERS"

The characters that were made up of strange symbols of varying shapes were labelled:

"BREAKER RUNES"

Another scrap of paper was found in this room that read as follows:

"OF BLUE AND RED TO ENTER LOCKED REALMS ADD ON TO THE CRIMSON FIGURES 15423"

On one of the bookshelves was a book labelled:

"Nami: The Sealed World" by Wayne Francisco

This room also contained a statue of a robed figure holding a spear. This figure had a sigil on its shoulder and a strange insignia on its apron. A second statue was also found in this room sitting on a throne of sorts. This statue's face contained a complex Pigpen cipher that hid the Pigpen keys within the overarching symbol. The letters in the Pigpen keys were also written in "Ghost Hall Letters". The cipher translated as follows:

"Ring of triad the harbingers union within the midst of the misguided's awakening the apostate speaks. Through this rite of trinity the unseen father is silently roused a Lingering sentiment of the old one."

The library opened into two rooms - the larger room was appeared to be the location where general fishery work took place. While not much was found in this room, its ceiling featured a massive stained glass window depicting Luna, the four giants, and various other figures important to Lunar Children lore. This room contained two exits leading outside - a small door and a set of double doors, which were closed. Outside these exits were three more statues holding spears - one guarding each door.

The other room connected to the library was an old, wooden church. The walls of this room contained four stained glass windows of ancient mythological figures. These figures were labelled as follows:

"Saint Josse"
"Saint George"
"Sigurd"
((Illegible))

This room also contained three more stained glass windows on the entrance wall - one that appeared to be a figure wearing a green mask, one of a crudely drawn man wearing clothes similar to those seen in the music video "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical romance, and a grey angel with green eyes wearing a black robe that appeared similar to Erika.

The far end of the church featured a large painting of the goddess Diana that was previously seen in the "Spire" Janus room. It was quickly discovered that players could walk through this painting to view a large scroll containing many cryptic drawings. This scroll contained a depiction of a lion-snake creature biting its tail, as well as several drawings of serpents. The serpent on the left is labelled with the runes:

"Samael"
"Christ"
"Pearl"

The serpent on the right is labelled with the runes:

"Lucifer"
"Christ"
"Rose"

The corner of this room also contained a small scrap of paper marked with alternating drawings of moons and stars. This was used as a key to solve an alternating Pigpen cipher found in Hank's office. This scrap of paper also contained a drawing of Jeremy's avatar from the Lunar Children forums.

Behind the fishery was another gate blocked by an invisible wall. On the backside of the fishery was a small garden area featuring a statue of a six-winged angel holding up a "Metatron Cube". On a nearby wall, the following was written:

"ITS DARK ESSENCE LIE HIDDEN WITHIN THE DISPLACED TEXTS"

From outside, players could see that the bottom of the church contained four black cubes acting as cornerstones. On the opposite side of the church was a small creek that led into the woods. On the wall of the fishery near the church was another cipher surrounding a drawing of a gas mask that read as follows:

"WAYWARD SAINT ENTRANCED BY THE TRICKSTER"

Back near the entrance of this Janus room was a small path that led into the woods. This path split in two - one leading to an invisible wall going further into the woods, and one leading up a small hill. Atop this hill, players could leap across the creek and reach a small ledge where another Pigpen cipher key could be found - this one was marked with a moon instead of a star.

Summary

• This Janus room was another depiction of the fishery. This version of the fishery was in its undilapidated state, revealing that the location once contained a convenience store, a small library, and several rooms containing cryptic paintings and scrolls.
• Translations of the two languages used as ciphers around this Janus room and in the video "Hesitation" were discovered. The language consisting of lines and arrows is called "Ghost Hall Letters", while the one made up of various symbols is called "Breaker Runes".
• Players discovered Hank's office, which contained various codes and ciphers. One of these seemed to reveal a key of sorts, informing players to perpetually "add" the numbers "4 9 1 14 1" to some as of yet unknown computer login information that is supposedly found next to a bed.
• The keys for two different sets of Pigpen ciphers were found - one marked by a star, and one marked by a moon. This assisted players in solving ciphers in this Janus room as well as in the video "Hesitation".
• A letter from William Reynolds was found in Hank's office. William seemed to be asking Hank to join the Lunar Children as a defecting Moon Child. He mentioned that Ben seems to often disappear at random - something that confuses the Moon Children.
• A letter from Jeremy was found in Hank's office. Jeremy asks Hank if he and "Sam" could go on a fishing trip with Hunter. Jeremy mentions that he believed Hunter and Mat would have been good friends. This letter also contained a Pigpen cipher that revealed a message claiming that "Samuel" had been promoted and that the "force" was now aligned with Hank.
• Five paintings are discovered with figures colored blue and red. These paintings are labelled as five locked pages that were previously found in the "Spire" and "Bottom" Janus rooms.
• An old, wooden church could be found on the back-end of the fishery. This church contained several stained glass windows of famous religious figures. Three other stained glass windows were also found here - one of a man wearing a green mask, one of a figure wearing an outfit similar to the ones seen in the music video for "Welcome to the Black Parade" by My Chemical romance, and one of a gray angel with green eyes.
• A large room containing fishery equipment was found to have a massive stained glass ceiling depicting Luna and various events from Lunar Children lore.
• A small room on the backside of the fishery was discovered to have a previously-obscured trap door. This appeared to lead down into a basement.
• Three exits were discovered in this Janus room - one of a road leading through a gate, one of a gate leading into the woods, and one leading into the woods in the direction of the highway.

5/3/21 - Yadhtrib Page Text - Johnisdead.com

Once more, I find myself in the deepest chamber of our grand Spire. The footsteps of my brethren have long ceased echoing through these halls. It's not often others find their way down here this late into the night. Indeed, the early hours of the morning just as the sun begins to stir has proven to be the perfect time to observe this artifact.

The machine before me is a solid cube. It rises to about the height of my knees and consists of a smooth, black surface covered in a slight reflective sheen. There are no apparent outlets or ports as one might expect. It emits no light, and no sounds can be heard coming from within. Upon first observation, one might mistake this object to be nothing more than a simple brick or prop. Looks are quite deceiving, however, as the complexity of this device has confounded me for the past several years.

The device has remained largely untouched since it was brought into our possession. That is, until recently, when one talented Elder Child made some impressive alterations to it. Uninitiated eyes will once again be deceived, as this new addition to the device seems quite simple at first glance - a single wire connecting out from below its base that leads into the floor. This wire is not used to supply the device with power, as one might suspect. Instead, it has allowed the machine to connect back to our previous meeting grounds through utilization of the Second Ethereal Layer. Thanks to this small addition, development on Project Bifrost has been progressing rapidly.

Even more boggling than the machine's inner workings is its origins. While I'm not permitted to fully document its history here, I'll leave it at this - our previous meeting grounds may indeed hold secrets that far predate our earliest of gatherings.

My name is Alan Alphonse. I have served our order for the better part of the past decade, and within the past several years, I have been usurped from the position of "Overseer" - Father, that is. I say this while harboring no ill-will towards our current administration. Our current Father is a fine selection, and I've always thought myself as more of a researcher than a leader, if I may speak truthfully. No, I've always been far more interested in my own personal studies into how Luna's creation ticks - the unravelling of her majesty.

Some find this line of thinking blasphemous. Yes, I've experienced my fair share of backlash during my time as Overseer, and it's no surprise that there exist those who were quite ecstatic upon my departure. I've been told that looking further beyond what we've been taught is heresy - that to seek more truths is to toss aside the gifts Mother has already bestowed upon us.

Ridiculous.

Were we not gifted sight so that we could witness Mother's glory that surrounds us? Were our hands not forged so we might carry out her will in our otherwise empty, barren world? So, too, might our minds be her gift - a beautiful gift filled with curiosities and wonder - a gift of want and yearning so that we might be pushed step out of our child-like stupor and stand before her as men and women of the moon. And children is exactly what we have been for the past decade, content to rot away within our cradle, comforted by what few gifts have been passed down to use from our predecessors.

What I seek is not to challenge Luna, but to grow and reach the spiritual enlightenment she has set out for us. It is in our grasp, we need only challenge our preconceived "truths" and reach beyond the veil.

Summary

• This text is a journal entry from a Lunar Child named Alan Alphonse - likely "Father Alphonse", who was mentioned previously on Lunarchildren.com.
• Alphonse introduces himself as a researcher and former Overseer of the Lunar Children - likely having been replaced by Vincent at some point.
• Alphonse is currently inspecting a device. He describes the device as a solid, black cube.
• Alphonse claims that while the cube device has no perceivable wires or mechanisms, one "talented Elder Child" had recently attached a wire to it that allowed it to somehow connect to the fishery through something he refers to as the "Second Etheral Layer".
• Alphonse implies that the device's origins has something to do with the fishery, claiming that the location holds secrets that predate the Lunar Children's earliest gatherings.

Brilliant minds at the Spire are always developing new methods by which we may inch closer to Luna's majesty. I won't bore whoever is reading this with the entire technical history of our past ventures, but I will say it has been a rather difficult journey. Many projects that once seemed promising have since crumbled into ruin. Many in hindsight label these projects failures. I disagree with this sentiment, however, as from the ruins of these past experiments, new paths are often paved.

Data is a building material. Much like cement or clay, data is malleable, and may be used in a variety of ways as plentiful of the kinds of data that can be extracted and manipulated. This is quite evident in our most recent experiment, Project Bifrost, which has been built from the parts of one "Project Mindshape" - an expired project that was offered to us by an old apostate that introduced virtual world structuring with mostly standard data sets save for a very unique ai that this traitor sadly would not allow us a closer inspection of, likely consisting of some quantity or arrangement spiritus. Mindshape has been resurrected from it's previous terminal state into a completely new form. The new project now works exclusively with spiritus, with a system for structuring using lenis conversion from acquired asper spiritus. It's quite fitting, then, that the operations within Bifrost deal with similar themes of death, rebirth, and structure.

The "Nullspace" - or "Sub-Parallelos", as some refer to it as now - is a space that stretches from the Overworld to the Parallelos of the Dead. Referring to the Nullspace as a "void" is somewhat misleading. In reality, the Nullspace is the very air that surrounds us - it is the wires and cables that connect and power our everyday devices. These electronics and wires are conduits by which one may access the Nullspace.

It is believed that there are three layers to the Nullspace - Physical, digital, and signal. These names, too, can be somewhat misleading, however. The lowest level of the Nullspace is the physical. This refers to the devices and electronics that surround us - our computers, consoles, servers - what have you. These are all very localized constructs. On their own, they are isolated - manmade wombs from which data may one day be birthed into our modern, connected world.

The second layer, digital, is what connects these devices. Digital, or perhaps a better term, electricity, refers to the wires through which data and information may flow. Like twisted, winding highways, these wires connect from one to another to create a vast network, offering a great deal of freedom in travel to those who access it.

However, true freedom is only offered through the third and final layer - signal. In our modern world, signals are everywhere. They are not restricted by corporeal blockades or physical routes - they flow invisibly through the air around us as we are none the wiser. Those who access this layer are truly granted a great deal of freedom through the Nullspace.

But what exactly is the Nullspace? While these technical definitions have certainly aided our understanding, how exactly do these layers appear to those within? Fortunately, thanks to our devout few who have mastered the Parallelos Path, we have an answer to this - nothingness. At least, that is how the upper layers, the "signals", are witnessed. Few have ventured down into the lower layers of digital and physical confinements within the Nullspace, as it becomes far more dangerous to maneuver through these layers. As we all know, the lowest layer of the Nullspace is often used to house our ascended brethren. It is no place for the living.

Still, curiosity lingers - how would it be perceived? Truthfully speaking, there is no way for us to be certain. Eyes were never meant to be laid upon such places. If I were to hypothesize, however... I believe descending these layers would be akin to entering a lesser plane of existence - almost as if one were entering the first and second dimensions respectively. That isn't to say that all witnessed would suddenly become as a flat plane, but rather that it would truly be foreign to us. In reality, however, it is likely that vision simply ceases and "experience" takes hold - the mind and spirit simply cease to "witness" and instead loops back in on itself as the entity eternally replays and remixes memories, thoughts, and dreams from its database.

This is simply my own theory on the matter, however. We do not yet truly understand what one experiences in these situations. There does seem to be some studies that imply that the nature of these physical constructions - be it a computer or console, that is - has an innate effect on the spirits housed within, almost as if they are being imprinted upon... Indeed, this can be witnessed most infamously with the Tenebris Link, though that is all I will say on that.

Dear me, I've gone off on quite the tangent, haven't I? This entry was meant to cover Project Bifrost, yet here I am rattling off about layers once again. To conclude this, I will confirm that the uppermost layer of the Nullspace is most vital to Bifrost. Through the melding of data and conversion of Spiritus, much like the building blocks laid before us from our predecessors, new and beautiful structures may take shape in realms beyond our imagination.

Summary

• This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
• Alphonse discusses a Lunar Children experiment called "Project Bifrost" - a project dealing with virtual worlds that is said to utilize something called "Spiritus".
• Alphonse claims that Project Bifrost involves structuring through a process known as "Lenis Conversion" using something called "Asper Spiritus".
• Alphonse states that Project Bifrost is built off of the remains of another experiment called "Project Mindshape", which he claims was offered to the Lunar Children by a traitor. He explains that while Project Mindshape also dealt with virtual worlds, it also involved some sort of "unique AI that is theorized to contain some quantity of spiritus.
• Alphonse explains that the Nullspace, or Sub-Parallelos as it was formerly known, is a layer of the Parallelos that stretches from the Overworld to the Parallelos of the Dead. He claims that the Nullspace is a void of sorts, and that it is contained within three distinct layers - physical devices and electronics, wires, and signals. He explains that the "signal layer" is the most easily traversable, since signals are not impeded by most physical barriers.
• Alphonse explains that the lowest layer of the Nullspace, physical devices and electronics, are often used to house ascended spirits. He also believes that the form of the device the spirits are housed in "imprints" characteristics on the souls housed there, implying this is the method through which ascended spirits were housed in devices in the past, as seen with Ben in the Majora's Mask Cartridge and possibly the Lunar Children servers as well
• Alphonse claims that the highest layer of the Nullspace, the "signal layer", is vital to Project Bifrost, and that it involves the utilization and conversion of spiritus.

In my field, revelatory happenstances are commonplace. It is one of the reasons why I became a man of science so many years ago. Just as well, I'm no stranger to encounters from beyond - confrontations with entities, whether they be friendly or otherwise, have become quite normal. However, what just transpired... I must say, it has shaken me to my very core.

Arawn, he called himself. A most mysterious character... He spoke to me through the machine from what I can only assume is deep within the Parallelos itself. Could this device have some intrinsic connection to the greater sphere...? What other outsiders might I meet should my studies continue? I've not been this excited in quite some time...

We spoke for nearly two hours. Arawn was quite easy to understand. He spoke as a sophisticated individual - a far cry from your typical wanderers beyond the Overworld.

"Peering into the machine once again? You'll fall in, standing so close to its surface like that."

"What's this, now?"

"Simply a word of warning from one researcher to another.

"A researcher? From where are you speaking?"

"Exactly where you think. Inside the machine. Beyond your realm. The "Overworld", as you know it."

"Fascinating... There seems to be absolutely no interference at all - if you are indeed an ascended spirit, yours must have been quite successful. Tell me, who exactly are you...?"

"No one of importance. I'm no high ranking member of your order... nor am I a primordial being of any sort. I'm simply all that remains of my other self... An "effigy", I suppose. You may call me Arawn."

"I see... Am I correct in assuming you are the "other" of a Finitor, then?"

"Impressive. Your wit does not disappoint, Alan. Yes, I am the "shell" of my ascended self. My ascension was a success, but... Well, as you can see, I am the half that does not get to reap its benefits."

"A-ha! This proves the existence of the Dyad, then! Hahahaha, my, I haven't been this giddy in quite some time!"

For many years I have theorized the existence of a Dyad - the concept of duality that is prevalent through the works of Luna. The Finitor is a prime example of this. Many long nights I have struggled to grasp what exactly took place back in 2002. How did two ascended beings result from a single entity - Our Father and the Transcended known as Kelbris? There seemed to be a strong sense of duality between the two, the most prevalent being their very makeup - Father being the pure essence, whereas Kelbris was the empty shell given life.

Arawn's words seemed to prove this theory. However, if this is true... could this mean that an "effigy" exists for the Tenebris Link as well...?

"You seek answers. That is why you are a man of science, no?"

"Indeed."

"Ha. Are Luna's teachings not enough?"

"Luna's teachings are interpreted by man. Only through deeper understanding of her works may we come closer to the truth."

"The truth... Always reaching for the truth. What a nebulous concept. Would you like to know a secret?"

"...?"

"There is no "truth" - no final, ultimate answer. The "truth" is whatever you want it to be. There's no single key that unlocks the door to all-encompassing knowledge. Only fools seek out the idea of a single "truth"."

"Hahaha... "Truth" is all I've ever known, friend. It's all I've ever hoped to achieve, and I've known now for quite some time that my thirst for answers may never be quenched... Is this what you are telling me?"

"No. There ARE answers. The catch is that there is no end. Infinite worlds. Infinite timelines. You are already aware of this, no?"

"Correct."

"Then you're aware of how incomprehensibly vast existence truly is... For every answer you may uncover, another question will always follow. Peace will not come for us, Alan - us damned fools stricken with an unquenchable thirst for answers and "truth"."

"Indeed... Your prior warning then, yes?"

"Yes. You'll do well to not become as the fools before you, trapped in machines of their own design."

"Hahaha, well, I'm flattered you think so highly of me, but I could never conjure up something as miraculous as the device before me."

"I was not speaking literally."

"Ah, I'm aware. Once more, I appreciate your concerns... However, I'm quite aware of the moral I assume you're attempting to impart unto me - that I must become comfortable with my own level of knowledge, as infinitely seeking further truths will drive one to insanity, yes? Mm, this fear is not new to me. For countless restless nights, I've struggled with the concept of an "absolute" truth... Questioning who I am, and if I'd even be content with life knowing yet not knowing. The conclusion I've come to... is that this struggle for knowledge is what defines me. This fool's errand - this struggle for "absolute" may indeed be folly, yet I would have it no other way... Even if all I achieve is to become an "absolute" fool, hahaha..."

"I expected as much. Well, if you are truly set on this path, then I will share with you some "truths" of my own."

Summary

• This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
• While inspecting the cube device, an entity calling itself "Arawn" begins speaking to him through the machine from within the Parallelos.
• Arawn introduces himself as a fellow researcher. He reveals that he is the "other" of a Finitor. He likens himself to an "effigy", claiming that he is a "shell" that was left behind from his ascended self. Alphonse believes this proves the existence of a "Dyad" of sorts, which relates to a concept of duality within Lunar Children beliefs. This seems to be related to Finitors. Alphonse uses Hank as an example, explaining that two entities were created from his ascension - a "pure essence" as Patrem, and an "empty shell given life" as Kelbris. Arawn appears to be the latter - the empty shell left over from an ascension.
• Alphonse ponders if an "effigy" or "empty shell" equivalent exists for Tenebris as well.
• Arawn and Alphonse discuss the concept of striving for the truth, despite the fact that there is no "end-state" in becoming an all-knowing entity. Alphonse claims that he will strive for knowledge regardless, as it pushes him forwards. After hearing this, Arawn agrees to share his knowledge with Alphonse.

5/3/21 - Between Page Text - Johnisdead.com

A word of forewarning - I'm quite drowsy as I write this. I just had the most captivating conversation with my new friend here, one that lasted long into the early hours of the morning. Before I get onto that, however, I must note a most remarkable discovery I've made pertaining to the device. When observed under a microscope, the surface of the cube appears to be lined with an intricate network of wires and chips, much like what you'd find on an advanced computer motherboard... While it would take ages to document every inch of the machine's surface, I'm confident in saying that the entire cube is covered in such electronics.

"Impressive piece of work, isn't it?"

"Mm... Far more intricate than any man-made device I've ever laid eyes upon. You wouldn't be willing to divulge the nature of this machine, would you?"

"Ha. If only it were that easy."

"Hahaha... Thought not."

"I couldn't even if I wanted to, as this device's absolute nature eludes even me. I am aware, however... that what you have here is only a fraction of a much larger machine."

"Is that so...?"

"Hm. You don't seem very taken aback."

"I had assumed as much. Our reports claim that there were actually three other identical objects at our old meeting grounds."

"Yes - four shards of a much larger whole."

"Luna's machine... the World Engine."

"What?"

"Nothing, just thinking aloud."

Our conversation soon became one of the very nature of reality itself. I'll spare you my incoherent ramblings and nonsensical theories and instead share with you this interesting tidbit...

"You mentioned before you are aware of the existence of other timelines, correct?"

"Yes, though only that they must exist."

"How have you come to such a conclusion?"

"I believe reality has a way of correcting itself... Keeping itself stable should the waters be muddied, one might say. Finitors such as yourself... Well, your "other", I suppose, have the ability to manipulate time, no? Sectioning off any interferences with the preconceived timeline into their own alternate timeline would help alleviate any strain placed on reality, would it not?"

"How so?"

"Ah, by simply ensuring that these alterations are splintered off into their own quarantined timeline rather than attempt to "correct" the current timeline, paradoxes be damned."

"Interesting theory. Alan. While it's true that I, myself, have no control over time, I am quite aware of how it functions. Moving through time is akin to being taken on a tour. You can visit different points of time on a pre-ordained path. What you may not be aware of, however, is that sometimes time travel itself is predetermined - baked into history as if it were always destined to occur."

"Mm... I believe the ascension of one of our four Transcended was related to such things, correct?"

"Yes. The Doug in this timeline was contacted by the harbingers from several years in the future. This, however, did not create a "split" in the timeline - it was something that was simply destined to happen."

"The question is then, of course, how could paradoxes exist at all in a system where destiny - fate, exists?"

"And the answer... is intent."

"Intent...?"

"Intent to break - to shatter - to cause chaos. Will, destiny, fate - these are all already weaved into our reality. If we were to go back in time to several years prior, we would not need to worry about following a script lest we splinter off into an alternate timeline. No, our will IS destiny. What we do is what we've done. Reality accommodates this. To put it simply, fate is written by our will."

"But the chaos agents... What of their will?"

"Intent is a powerful thing, Alan. Let's say... one particularly powerful chaos agent both had the means of travelling through time and the intent to "break" it - alter it. If this situation were to arise, this would indeed cause a split timeline to manifest - someone intentionally stepping off their guided tour through time."

"So... If I am to understand correctly, whether or not a paradox occurs and time travel results in a timeline splintering is largely dependent on whether or not the time traveller in question is acting voluntarily or involuntarily, yes? At least, in regards to their will?"

"That's a simplistic way of looking at it, yes. There are a few more factors that go into it, but that's correct, more or less. If one were to simply try to "change the past", they would be unsuccessful, as reality would have already baked this will to act into itself. However, if one were to have strict knowledge of past events and cause an intrinsically chaotic, paradoxical action to spite fate's will, reality would heal this wound by creating the splinter."

"Hahaha... quite a terrifying fate, being thrust into a completely separate reality. In such a case, one would have no way of returning home, would they?"

"Correct. If one were to attempt to return to the future, they would only return to the future of the current timeline they are stranded in. That is, unless..."

"Unless...?"

"Unless one were to become linked with their other selves. A bridge across time."

"A bridge..."

Aggregation - the process of spiritually linking with oneself across separate timelines. If what Arawn was telling me is true, then it is quite possible to travel freely between timelines where Aggregation has taken place... In all of my studies, I've never heard of such a thing.

"So, how exactly does one initiate this process?"

"Before one may partake in Aggregation, one must first become aware of their "others". You must share their mind, having already experienced a near identical history with them. If these prerequisites are met, you may begin the Aggregation process. Fortunately for you... I've already completed these first few steps for you."

"What... do you mean, exactly?"

"Everything I've been telling you, I've also been telling to another you - an alternate you, from an alternate time. Those questions that are swirling around your mind right now - 'What does my other self think about this?' 'Is my other self aware of me?' 'Is he thinking this exact same thing?' - hold onto them. They will be your guide through this process."

Summary

• This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse, where he continues chatting with Arawn.
• Alphonse questions Arawn about the nature of the cube device. Arawn doesn't know much about it, however.
• Arawn claims that the cube device is a fraction of a much larger whole. Alphonse mentions that there were three other identical cube devices found at the fishery. Arawn seems to imply that these devices as well are also simply fractions of a much larger machine.
• Arawn and Alphonse discuss timelines and the mechanics of time travel. It's said that time travel itself is "baked into" timelines, and that simply going back in time will not cause a timeline split to occur. However, if someone has an intrinsic understanding of the timeline and willfully and intentionally attempts to break it, this will indeed cause a split timeline to occur.
• Arawn explains aggregation to Alphonse. Alphonse seems interested in it. Arawn reveals that he has already set Alphonse down the road of aggregation, claiming that he has been telling an alternate timeline version of Alphonse the exact same things, bringing their minds closer.

i now wander these familiar worlds

reflections of my world woven of spiritus

this form foreign to me i search for truths

im down here once again

now a facsimile of our holy building basement

of course

the machine is not here

it is in a way

we are within it

all of us

these halls grow cold

emptier than they were back then

time to stop reminiscing

i believe i will visit the brothers again

still they grieve their missing one

a convincing act for their kind

but

no

perhaps it is no act

we are all denizens of a grand machine

why should these denizens of a lesser one be any different

Summary

• This text is another journal entry from Father Alphonse.
• Alphonse claims that, at the time this journal was written, he is now in a completely different form exploring worlds made of spiritus.
• Alphonse explores a fake version of the Spire basement, searching for the cube device. While he does not find it, the claims that he and everyone else is already within it.
• Alphonse decides to go visit a pair of brothers. He claims that these brothers are still grieving the loss of their "missing one". At first, Alphonse believes their grieving is only an act, but he then reconsiders, claiming that since everyone is supposedly a denizen of a "grand machine", he has no room to judge the denizens of a "lesser one".

• At 11:47 PM, Prominence became active in the "Compound" Janus room and sent the message "familiar grounds". Following this, Prominence entered the "Bottom" Janus room and travelled to the large ritual hall at the bottom of the basement before leaving.

May 4th, 2021

• At 12:37 PM, the player thelostbrineinthewoods discovered a hidden room in the "Compound" Janus room. By glitching through the floor in the room with a trapdoor, players could enter into a small basement room containing three computers with wires that led down into another trapdoor.
• At 8:08 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that the "Compound" Janus room had updated. The small church area now contained three new nameplates beneath the previously unlabelled stained glass windows. The masked figure wearing the jacket was now labelled as "IIII", whereas the one dressed similarly to the band "My Chemical Romance" in the music video "Welcome To The Black Parade" was labelled "Loki". Finally, the gray, angelic being that appeared similar to Erika was named "Sophia".

Xenquility: "I can see that, but it seems you're coming along quite well"
Found: "I know there has to be a voice option but I have no idea what I would do to make it work but I know it has to be real"
Xenquility: "I was wondering, did any of the other elders discuss the technology of how to get out of here with you?"
Found: "I hear something sometimes"
Found: "wait, what is bifrost?"
Xenquility: "I believe just a term coined by a man named Alphonse. Maybe you know it as mindconstruct, which I believe the other name was uhh"
Xenquility: "One minute"
Xenquility: "Project mindshape?"
Xenquility: "And forgive the initial deception, we are elder children, though less involved than the others. Just testing the mental recollection of those we've inserted into here."
Found: "I dont know what that is either but that sounds familiar"
Found: "Mindshape"
Xenquility: "Me and shiina specifically. I can't speak for the others though I believe they're in here alongside you"
shiina: "yeah I'm here as an elder child "
Xenquility: "Are you able to recall your past name and rank? I'd like to make sure you're still able to retain your sense of self"
Found: "I remember some friends playing a game from a website with that name. Lot of people were passing it around the spire on usb sticks. I dont break rules though and wanted nothing to do with it I promise."
Xenquility: "Don't worry, we're likely more leniant than those at the Spire."
Xenquility: "I'm in much of a position LiquidSaint was in, minous the blatantly traitorous intentions that fool had."
Xenquility: "*much of the same position, *minus"
Found: "My name is Jason, I know that"
Found: "Im sorry Im taking so long to say anything"
Found: "I feel weird"
Xenquility: "It's completely fine, you're doing great."
shiina: "It's pretty chill comrade. You're doing amazing!"
Xenquility: "What're you feeling, if I may ask?"
Found: "A hollow feeling in my forehead. I feel like I need to find something I am trying to retain my composure Im sorry"
shiina: "It's alright, I'm sorry you are feeling that way :("
Xenquility: "Any idea what that could be?"
Found: "Could you check if I have been moved to ascension testing and just did not get a notification?"
Found: "Did you say that?"
Found: "Hello?"
Xenquility: ""Ascension testing"? Appears I am not up on the lingo those at the spire are using haha"
Xenquility: "I did not say that"
Found: "Where?"
Xenquility: "I frankly was not even aware they were testing the capabilities of ascension with those digitized"

Summary

• Jason is a Lunar Child who believes it is currently 2015 who seems to have been exploring the Janus worlds for quite some time after volunteering to be "permanently inserted".
• Jason is surprised to hear that the players are using computers to access the Janus worlds, implying that everyone besides the Elder Children are exploring them via some other method - possibly ascension, as they claim they are typing with their mind.
• When asked if the Lunar Children's involvement with digital worlds via Janus is Project Bifrost, Jason is unsure, but claims the name is familiar.
• Jason reveals that a game from the website Mindshape.co.uk was downloaded to a USB stick and passed around the Spire. He claims that he never played the game himself, though, not wanting to break any rules. Mindshape.co.uk is a site that seems to have some connection to SKM and Drowned, having hosted the "Remember.exe" games in the past.
• Jason begins acting strangely, claiming that he feels a hollow feeling in his forehead. It then seems as if he heard a voice speaking to him before he left.

• At 5:32 PM, the player Xenquility discovered that Kaiden Zoromichi had left a comment on the video "WHEmpire x Soul Calibur" that read "Hmph.". This video was a trailer for an unrelated joke tournament held by the Within Hubris community.

Accessing this location required the players to carefully build a bridge of cubes to cross the gap. Once on the other side, players discovered a small room with a fake door and a strange "pit" that contained faded versions of the image "2_server_room.png".

7/5/21 - "gift.webm" - Discord (Internet Detectives)

This video begins with a purple-colored distortion. The green borders from previous videos can be seen along the edges at some points. Footage of what appears to be a long hallway can be seen. Other footage of an outside of a house and two people fighting with swords slightly overlays the footage. Patrem can be heard speaking, but his voice is difficult to make out. The footage then cuts to a winged object sitting atop a cracking sphere. Two symbols can be seen flashing on the sphere. More real life footage can be seen in the background as cubes float across the screen. A piano rendition of the "Clock Town Theme" from Majora's Mask can be heard. What appears to be a computer screen floats into the screen as the video ends.

Summary

• This video contains cryptic, hard to discern footage overlapping eachother.
• Patrem can be heard speaking throughout this video, but his voice is difficult to make out.

8/9/21 - "library.mp4" - Johnisdead.com

This video begins with a shot of the hallway seen outside of the Within Hubris castle found in the "Library" Janus room. As the camera proceeds down the hallway, text begins appearing on screen:

He spoke flatly as if his tone were manufactured and with a deeply tired sounding tone. "IIII am sorry to see you have felt yourself no longer fit for the order.
He stood from the desk and stepped slowly across the Emerald colour marble floor to the front of the room, you were still there waiting in the doorway determined and high on the hubris that previously plagued him.
"The library will always remain open to you, but you are of the wanderer in these times." For some reason you could not bring yourself to say a word.
"What exactly is this leading to?", you thought to yourself as he edged closer in the dim room lit only by nine candles and 12 monitors, 4 of which were displaying various premonitions of unknown origin, and one that showed only an empty, alluring darkness.
"Am I banished? Is this really a question of either or?". As if reading your mind, he spoke. "Always, you will be remembered as a Keeper in this place, and though the location is ephemeral, IIIII always expect your return".


The footage fades into a shot outside of the mansion-like building found in the "Library" Janus room that's shaped like the Regiminis sigil.

His frown broke into a smile as you could finally see his face for a brief moment. Silence broke for just a moment as you said aloud "Wait, you're to say I am no longer the Keeper? My obligations to the library are revoked?"

The camera zooms through one of the windows of the mansion-like building, fading into a dark room with a marble floor. This room was lit by nine candles and contained twelve monitors. Four of these monitors were flashing screenshots of 3d environments on them.

He watched you for some time, his piercing gaze studying your face. Though many questions raced through your mind, you received no answers.
"Sweet dreams my Old friend."
His foot slipped out from under his robe and pushed the door shut in your face, as you found yourself seemingly back in the courtyard of a familiar castle.

The camera begins panning across seven windows on the other side of the wall. Each table has an assortment of various items placed around it - two of which have computers. One of these computers is displaying "Astralobservatory.net". As the camera pans to the final table, it slowly zooms in on an open book.

Empty though it may be, the fortress was large. Ancient. Secure. A wanderer you may be no longer. Instead, you will be crowned Keeper in a realm forged by your own hands.

The video cuts to a shot of a desk with several papers on it. These papers contain the following text:

Paper #3:

Blue Eisenhower November

What have you done mankind. So boldly you have robbed the earth and now you would rape even its soul? What truly is the possession of a child of its mothers womb? Woe how She,oh She, is by your times made the beast, and the beast of beasts. Still you are ill. Full of her workings you are consumed by its shadow, the green luna turneth red, the tera goeth silent. She worketh down to leave a mark on your hand and fore head to show your own doings the products of the dark one. Though one may be washed of such things. Those seen among him will be those who are forever lost. But even they will have a place forever.

Remember that always she whispers to the early ones, the snake bearers. But sick are ye who discard the snake for rod in the wake of the beasts supper. Yea, sicker are the snakes of the feast,but still one may be washed of such things. Worship not the fallen queen, nor be that which slayeth She. Her hall leadeth thee higher. But know the mark of the hand will be not for all time. The whispering fades in the uniting of the poles, the promise of green beyond the horizon is granted in the passing of this final sun.

Only the Worldly Mean know the Unworldly Men. The Unworldly hold tight their fist older than time. Those who may speak with them bare the world in their hands, behind the shadow of the sun they wait as knights and kings holding all other honors of men. Between them lay a crown that is indescribably designed by devine providence. The one who wears it is the one who opens the hand, the comes from behind ye who bare witness to kiss the crown. Her whispers fill thine mind, those who are washed see the open hand, those who have walked long with him have the stink of his sweat and she taketh from the crown your jewel that you might see. Those who suffer this are famished and lusting of life ever more.

Those who see this were blessed by the consumer of the deep, the one who stings but leaves thee who dwelled underneath but was still of the sky. She who is of the All She. The last dragon of the lost tree. Of her silent blessing you find path to such sights and further the right to transcend in all ways.

But how for does one have and lose the sign of the hand? It must be fed to the thrice headed wolf who waits at the doorway to such a chamber. The lost hand is the hand in the waters that pulls ye up. The wolf with heads thrice freshens the blood of the foul hand with the universal water. The sign that points becometh the signs of the father lost and found. The sign that points become the signs of the guiding light that falleth and that arise. The sign that points becomes the sign of darkness washed by the light. Make cross of its further ascension.

The hand of the old ones lays open for those who seek in this way. The hands are made clean by the mercy of the absolute. Carry not to him that which he seeketh to make golden, carry on to him with hand empty that ye may sacrifice it to the world that might digest thine soul. Think not again of the consumed lest you turn back to liberate them. But heed the father who holds the pendulum.

There are far many things that I could point out. I've said what I think are the major points. If you all won't believe me now, then it's a moot point because no proof I can give will make you change your minds and you'll remain the sheep CBTS has made you to be. I'm very sorry to all those I have lied to, affected, or fooled. I really am! I hope I can redeem myself by exposing the lies now before it goes even further. Ask yourselves this, "why isn't -------- in jail already?" A very very big sorry goes out to Deadcat because I know how much time, prayer, hope and belief he has put into this. I'm so very sorry Deadcat! We never got to meet face to face and after all this I don't ever think I could face you. I'm sorry!
Please know this - I'm no longer with those Assholes because I really do care! I chose to leave and they didn't boot me out. They may seek revenge or try to make you believe I'm a shill. Whatever I dont care I just want the truth to be out. F them if they do!

This video announced a "scavengers hunt" of sorts that would take place later in the day at 6:00 PM in various JanusVR worlds on Johnisdead.com. This "scavengers hunt" would involve the players searching for codes in the various JanusVR worlds that could be redeemed on "https://bandcamp.com/yum" for free albums.

10/31/21 - Jid halloween scavenger hunt announcement - YouTube (Silentdork)

The video begins with Tyler standing in his trailer against a white, blank wall. A fire alarm can be seen on the wall behind him. Tyler is wearing a suit and tie and his hair is tied back. He begins speaking as generic, stock, corporate-esque music plays in the background.

Tyler: "Hey guys, it's Tyler. I'm the douchebag dressed up in his Sunday best talking in-front of a video camera, uh, trying to appear professional. (Laughs) So, uh, basically, this video is made to kinda... announce, uh, A. - My movie that Wolf's been working on, and B. - The upcoming Halloween event on our website - Johnisdead.com. That's right - starting Thursday at-"

A faint image of text reading the following appears:

"Vulnerable and alone."

"No more."

"He thinks it's in the afternoon now, but his brain can't tell anymore."

"It is irrelevant."

"We are one with a singular purpose, and we will finish it."

"Editors note: Its not thursday... its today"

A voice dubbing over the video can be heard saying the following:

"6:00 PM"

Tyler begins talking once again.

Tyler: "-Janus Project will feature a scavenger hunt to promote our production to potential new clients. If you don't already know-"

Another clip of Tyler fades in, cutting off the previous one. He is now holding a "Gondola" plush.

Tyler: "-Janus Project, run by the operators at Project Bifrost, is a virtual world on Johnisdead.com by which you are able to explore 3D worlds that are located in the website. There is a plethora of content to explore that's been produced by our local artist Wolfcat22, and... we wouldn't be able to continue the project without his fantastic efforts, so please give a round of applause... I SAID CLAP."

Tyler suddenly angrily yells at the camera. Clapping can be heard off-screen. Tyler nods in approval. The video suddnely cuts to a shot of the fire alarm. A clip of Tyler silently speaking briefly fades in over the fire alarm before the footage cuts to another shot of Tyler standing and staring at the camera. The video skips for a moment before cutting to another shot of Tyler speaking.

Tyler: "You can locate the software in order to actually explore this project via Johnisdead.com forward-slash "Fakeworld". There, you can download "TheLensOfTruth.exe". Utilizing-"

The video briefly cuts once more. As Tyler continued speaking, the footage would occasionally fade-in on itself with other clips of Tyler speaking.

Tyler: "-software, you can explore the 3D worlds previously mentioned. Go try right now - you'll find a plethora of things. However, at the designated time- designated time- designated time, you can go to the 3D worlds to find free Bandcamp album codes. That's right, I'm hopping on the Bandcamp bandwagon."

Tyler tufts his suit jacket in pride and looks around the room. As he continues speaking, the video clipping continues.

Tyler: "-Kickstarter- (Clears throat)- apply these Bandcamp codes when found by going to Bandcamp.co- forward-slash- forward-slash forward-slash Bandcamp.com forward-slash "Yum". Bandcamp codes are going to be first come first serve. Everyone, try to play fair and nicely. There are going to be veterans that have already explored these worlds and I'm going to hope that they are at least going to be a little bit fair and not over-use the codes."

Tyler begins glaring at the camera. He points at the camera before the video cuts to a shot of Tyler holding a cat.

Tyler: "You can apply the Bandcamp codes at Bandcamp.com forward-slash "Yum". This event will be going through Halloween all the way through until I'm pretty sure that everyone's found them all, so again, when you find them, it would be appreciated - though it is not be necessary, though it would be appreciated if you would please announce within the group "Internet Detectives" when you have actually found these codes. Gradually as I check off all the codes then I can know personally amongst my team when we meet an end."

The video fades out several times.

Tyler: "Did you know that wo-"

The video suddenly cuts to a clip of Tyler throwing a mug against the ground.

Tyler: "Holy shit, that thing is fu-"

The video cuts once again. While Tyler is speaking, he once again briefly holds the "Gondola" plush up towards the camera.

Tyler: "So, everyone, try to have a happy and safe Halloween during this event, and even though this event is being announced a little bit late, I hope that everyone can properly find their way to the Janus software, quickly establish how to utilize it, and enjoy the experience, and please-"

Tyler straightens his tie. A sped-up version of his voice reads off the following as the video cuts.

Tyler: "No purchase necessary to enter or to win, you must be 18 years or older and legal I.D. resident to enter. All federal, state, local and municipal laws and regulations apply. Void where prohibited."

The video suddenly cuts to Tyler holding a flashlight to his face in a dark room. He looks around, concerned, as he begins speaking in a heavily distorted voice.

Tyler: "Scaler dark spirit, hello? Dan Hall? DADDY! DADDYYYYY! Scaler dark spirit! You weren't filming methods! You lied! You weren't filming methods! You fucking lied! Scaler dark spirit!"

The lights suddenly come back on. Tyler is now in a more dishevelled state and is breathing heavily. He covers the camera with his hand, resulting in the footage cutting to a clip of Tyler as he appeared earlier in the video speaking:

Tyler: "Did you know that world-renowned writer Stephen King was once hit by a car? Just something to consider."

Tyler takes a drink out of the "Theorizer's Corner" mug before angrily tossing it at the ground, shattering it. Tyler suddenly drops the floor, breathing heavily as a theme similar to that of "Elevator Music" begins playing. It is important to note that Tyler appears to be pantless. Tyler searches through the remains of the shattered mug before finding a Bitcoin.

Tyler: "What- What is this... Is this money...? What is this... IS THIS MONEY? IS THIS MONEY?"

Tyler holds the Bitcoin up to the camera while smiling crazily.

Tyler: "BUT DID YOU BUY DOGE?"

The video cuts to a dark clip of Tyler playing the Ocarina. The video then cuts to Tyler cleaning up the remains of the mug.

Tyler: "But if you DCA into Bitcoin, things like this won't have to happen. I completely sacrificed..."

An unknown voice begins speaking.

Unknown: "Okay, I'm gonna-"

Tyler: "-the Theorizer's Corner in exchange... for something of actual value."

Tyler holds the Bitcoin up to the camera. The camera then shakes disapprovingly.

Unknown: "...I'm-"

The video cuts to Tyler picking something up off of the ground.

Tyler: "OH LOOK WHAT I JUST FOUND, SOMETHING MORE VALUABLE THAN A BOTCOIN. Zoom in on this? Zoom- Zoom in on this. Zoo- What? What!?"

Tyler appears to be holding a dime.

Tyler: "What the fuck did I just fi- What? Oh my God!? Are you telling me this is worth more than a Bi- What? Wha-"

Tyler pulls out his Ocarina and plays "Through The Fire and Flames" by DragonForce before going back to sweeping. The video then cuts again before showing footage of Tyler reading off his lines from what appear to be paper towels.

Tyler: "Hey guys, it's Tyler! I'm the douchebag dressed up in his Sunday best. Sunudunushduhgus- This is- This- This. This is what I fucking did. Do you see this? This is what I fucking did. Do you see this? Do you see this? This is what I fucking did. Furthermore, you know what? You know what? Alex's favorite champion, you know, the- The compatriot - The patriot, even. You know the one? The Golden One. You know - the guy? The dawn? Not Dawn - Not The Sun - You know, that little black asshole sun, you know, the Golden Man, you know."

The video cuts to a shot of Tyler showing the camera his suit's cuff, where it is revealed to be a "DONALD J. TRUMP" brand.

Tyler: "You know what I paid for that? Just for this whole bit? I paid- I bought this? Just for this bit. Just for this bit. You don't- You probablydontfuckinbelieveme - I bought it just for this bit. You know what I paid just for this fucking gay little bit?"

Tyler shows the camera the suit's tag, where it is revealed to have cost $650.00.

Tyler: "I want you to eat my asshole right now, $650.00. No, I'm fucking with you, I paid ninety-nine dollar- ninety-nine guh- ninety-nine cents. Haa, I fuck- I tricked you, you fuckin- you fuckin-"

The video then cuts to Tyler sweeping up the mug. He is now wearing a fedora and speaking with a 50's accent. A track from "Everywhere At The End Of Time" by The Caretaker begins playing.

Tyler: "They say Bitcoins are powered on dreams. The dreams of all the people who believe that the Bitcoin would actually get them something of value. Once upon a time back in 2014, I spent approximately one-half of a Bitcoin on pizza. That pizza was value - tangible pizza in my hands. You know what I did with that pi- Yuhknowdatpi- Fuck - You know what I did with that pizza? I ordered it. With the Bitcoin. From a fine establishment. They call it ((Unintelligible)) Pizza. Yeah. I ate that pizza. You know what? Back then I thought the Bitcoin was going to be something big. You know what it was supposed to be? Bet you're thinkin' right now it's supposed to be stocks. It was a GODDAMN currency back then. We spent the BITCOIN on things we want. You know what? When you spend the Bitcoin properly - you know what they call you? They call you a Big Guy. For you. Now, Jad? I'm pretty sure he's 6'3". Me? I'm like a little girl. 6'4". Wait... 5'4". But, you know what happens when you spend the Bitcoin on things instead of usin' it like stocks? They call ya' a Big Shot. And if you find me a cryptocurrency that works like Bitcoin back pre-2014? Will the Mt. Gox crash? I'll tell ya' this - now's your chance to be a Big Shot. Ready to be a Big Shot, kid? Eh? YOU READY TO BE A BIG SHOT? Eh? ...Eh?"

The video cuts before showing the remains of the broken mug. The corporate music begins playing once again.

Tyler: "This is it - The Theorizer's Corner. This is what happens."

Tyler begins speaking in a 50's accent once again.

Tyler: "Tha's what hap- Tha's what happens. Assahappens. Kid. You fuck with the ID's... You get the shIDs. Eh? Yeh. That's you. You're in the trash. You're in the garbage."

Tyler places the "90 cent" pricetag from earlier on the broken mug.

Tyler: "I'd pay 99 cents for that, eh? Yeh. Think it's worth this?"

Tyler places the $650.00 pricetag on the broken mug.

Tyler: "Nah. Nah... Think I got money for a suit like that livin' in a trailer like this, eh? Think I got money for a suit like that livin' in a trailer like this, eh? YouthingIgogmoney? EH? That's- This is a new thing. WHAT I'M DOIN' NOW - I DON'T KNOW. THIS IS GONNA BE IN THE FILM TOO."

The video ends.

Summary

• This video appears to be a non-canon parody of disingenuous, corporate videos. Here, Tyler announces an upcoming Halloween update where players will be able to explore various Janus rooms on Johnisdead.com at 6:00 PM to discover codes they can redeem at "https://bandcamp.com/yum" for free music albums.
• In the middle of this video, the lights suddenly go out and Tyler seemingly begins screaming about "Methods of Revolution" - Alex Hall's abandoned Kickstarter project. After this, Tyler smashes a "Theorizer's Corner" mug on the ground, uncovering a Bitcoin.

10/31/21 - "Genesis" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This Janus room featured a large, green landscape that was divided into four sections by pathways. At the center of this land was a large, strangely shaped building that stretched into the sky. The base of this building contained a doorway that was blocked by a "spear" or "gar" rune. This map also contained a mural with following text:

He descended below to the great tree where he saw her in her most true form. Eve-lilith, the first and final basilisk. It was that secret that would birth the fire that brings the world, the chaos that briths the gods. ((Blank)) She ((Blank)) and after the judgement she granted him ((Blank)) and thus she became the moon that would inhabit this ancient space. He imbued into the world a mark that would last so potently, the time father clawed at it in all ways and no work of his or any others could ever wash the world of that mark of the purest love. Knowing he could never reach her again he wept and it is said in some tales his ascension came by drowning in his own tears. While his morning was ever lasting there would be some other emanations and incarnations ((Blank)) in which ((Blank)) and he would see her some final times before ((Blank)) the makr that kept the memory of her godly spirit in this world his actions built. So belligerent it was against the dark that the ancients feared a day the darkness would try to corrupt it or wreak havoc in furious response. While the multiplicity had likely not yet occurred the null showed a clear tenden ((Blank)) that energy would always be coveted by the dark as it was the most pure. so with their machinations they sought to seal it off that it ((Blank)) would only manifest ((Blank)) within the true and living spheres depths will it ever open up again.

The four corners of this map contained links to the "Under", "Tomb", "Emptiness", and "Solace" Janus rooms respectively.

The room now featured four more red landmasses in a square-shaped pattern within the pre-existing landmasses in a cross-shaped pattern. Four more flame paths led players to these landmasses where they intersected with the pre-existing flame paths.

The room now contained an additional area featuring a hill containing a portal to the "Transformatio" Janus room, a large pedestal containing a portal to the "Tomb" Janus room, a cave containing a portal to the "Mortus" Janus room, and a large building containing a portal to the "Genesis" Janus room. This building was dilapidated and appeared somewhat corrupted. In addition to various images of strange creatures, this building also contained several ciphers and notes.

10/31/21 - "Solace" Janus Room Text - Johnisdead.com

A red cipher found on the back of the building read as follows:

The rulers have bodies that are both female and male, and faces that are the faces of beasts. They took some soil from the earth and modeled their man, after their body and after the image of god that had appeared to them in the waters.

A scrap of paper found on a table read as follows:

I know we have their attention, the sky shifted now to take on what I think may be their true face. But something is off, the communion last night didnt feel ((Blank)) and the statements feel so robotic, I know many creatures communicate strangely, but this felt oddly ((Blank)) to find out soon.

One room featured the following text written on the floor:

The Anime, in more clear language, is after our "source code"

The building's roof contained another note:

I dont think they are the same thing as the angelic absque fascie beings that they had us worshipping these are ((Blank)) me from further away. Its still strange to me he told me they feed on our ((Blank)) WHITE HOUSE CAT ((Blank)) ould be a way to ascend higher.

If not the L ((Blank)) be other kinds of beings in the realms outside the womb of luna, here we are imortal children in her care but even if we chose not to be with her I believe anything can be possible with faith and perseverance

Within a corrupted room with a large hole in the floor and ceiling, a note containing the following text was found:

A cipher along the wall of the large room translated as follows:

Unsolved Cipher:

A note containing a strange sigil and the following text was found on the building's exterior:

Apollo, lord of light and beauty. He is also abraxas and ((Blank)) the ((Blank)) atla ((Blank)) solar christ descended from the morning start, Venus.

A strange sigil:

Summary

• Various notes seem to have been left by presumably a Lunar Child partaking in Project Bifrost detailing some sort of experiment in communicating with strange creatures. This experiment seemingly went horribly wrong.

• At 7:07 PM, the player Laches discovered a new page on Johnisdead.com - "https://johnisdead.com/cumulus". This page was titled "cumulus" and contained the image "cumulus.gif" and the "Cumulus" Janus room.

10/31/21 - "Cumulus" Janus Room - Johnisdead.com

This Janus room featured a small, digital looking platform that housed four portals that led to the "Emptiness", "Distance", "Under", and "Mortus" Janus rooms. This room also contained several large platforms blocked by a "spear" or "gar" rune.

Summary

• This Janus room featured a digital-looking platform blocked by a "spear" or "gar" rune.

Updates

• Files:
cumulus.mp3 - A distorted track that plays throughout the map.
• Screenshots:
The rune blocking the platform:

• At 7:13 PM, the player Laches discovered that the "Under" Janus room had been updated. The room now featured two new additional areas - a roof surrounded by walls that contained a portal to the "Genesis" Janus room, and a long hallway that led to a balcony. This hallway also contained a portal that led to the "Cumulus" Janus room. These new areas also featured strange, disturbing images as well:
• At 7:18 PM, the player Pako discovered that the "Tomb" Janus room had been updated. The room now featured a series of sewers that could be traversed. Within these sewers was what appeared to be a drawing by Sheepdog of four individuals. These sewers exited into a small building near the Spire. This building also contained a portal to the "Genesis" Janus room. By exploiting JanusVR's physics, players could launch off of the side of the Spire and reach a series of floating platforms that housed a portal to the "Solace" Janus room. Another floating platform contained what appeared to be a sigil of sorts: A small cave could now be found in the mountains behind the Spire. This cave contained a portal that led to the "Distance" Janus room. This map also contained another landmass in the distance where a portal to the "Conparatio" Janus room could be found.
• At 7:52 PM, the player Pako discovered that the "Mortus" Janus room had been updated. The room now featured a canyon-like area that contained portals to both the "Cumulus" and "Distance" Janus rooms. One of the large, pre-existing plateaus could also now be scaled by platforming smaller cliffs. This plateau was now dotted with trees and contained a portal to the "Solace" Janus room at its peak. This room also now featured an ocean area. At the depths of this ocean was a temple that housed a portal to the "Transformatio" Janus room. This temple contained the following text:

10/31/21 - "Mortus" Janus Room Text - Johnisdead.com

You will find your Self in Artifacts, which are in fact doorways to eternity, but only in as much as you can transform them into mirrors and seek out their hidden symbols, tracing the lines they cast back to the center.

Summary

• This text related to "artifacts" and what they mean for individual selves.

• At 8:11 PM, the player Laches discovered that the "Rooftop" Janus room had been updated. The previously inaccessible building could now be entered if the players entered into it from either the "Conparatio" or "Transformatio" Janus rooms. As such, this map now contained portals to both of those Janus rooms.

November 11th, 2021

• At 11:11 PM, a new video was uploaded to Silentdork - "elevator scene". This video's thumbnail was that of "Stare Guy" - an emoji of a man that was mysteriously added to the Internet Detectives Discord server earlier in the year.

11/11/21 - "elevator scene" - YouTube (Silentdork)

This video begins with 3d footage of what appears to be the interior of an elevator. Erika can be seen sitting in a corner with a laptop. As the camera moves, the screen of her laptop comes into view. There appears to be a Skype call on the screen. The exterior of the elevator can be seen as it appears to be moving through a strange void with red lights occasionally zooming past. The camera moves as Tyler comes into frame, standing emotionless with white, glazed-over eyes. A cipher begins slowly scrolling across the screen. This cipher translates as follows:

"You got really good at pretending to hate me but seriously... you would really rather let it fizzle out just because you dont want to let me have any say? Thats fine. Its pretty cramped in that box isn't it? I would know! Just give it some time, when all the spiritus goes limp you will figure out its not that you hated me, its that you loved ingrates. Dont forget the fourth statement."

The video cuts to a shot of both Tyler and Erika standing in the elevator. A diamond-like shape occasionally flashes on Tyler's forehead. Faint footage can be seen overlaying the video. This footage seemingly contains dialogue from Erika, though it is difficult to decipher:

Erika: "Im BORED, when are you leaving the elevator???"
Erika: ((Illegible)) "is boring who will take us much higher"
Erika: "In fact we can take a walk right now even!"
Erika: ((Illegible)) "walk through the doors things I want to show and tell~"

Erika begins chatting within the elevator as text from the faint footage continues.

Erika: "This is a pretty long minute."
Erika: ((Illegible)) "form or another we have be" ((Illegible)) "worrie months"
Erika: "So many long minutes, bet the feeling must be coming from the machine."
Erika: ((Illegible)) "said, we are trapped" ((Illegible))
Erika: ((Illegible)) "duck as one it dont might" ((Illegible))
Erika: ((Illegible)) "like to and play with white" ((Illegible))
Erika: ((Illegible)) "to use. The king of the world"((Illegible))
Erika: ((Illegible)) "The prince of the world" ((Illegible))
Erika: "I wish you would wake up."
Erika: "I wonder how many memory loops its caught us in now."

Faint footage of a man - presumably Synchron - approaches the camera. More faint, difficult to discern footage players. The footage shows someone walking along a path before the video shows what appears to be a dragon. The dragon then seemingly attacks, cutting to footage of the person running away. The video suddenly distorts as the faint footage showcases Regiminis. The footage then shows someone recording some lights outside of a window.

Erika: "I bet this will end up on the main display before long."

The faint footage then shows a "VTECH" phone.

Erika: "What we are thinking right now probably already is."

The faint footage cuts to a shot of some palm trees before showing an object in the grass.

Erika: "Please wake up all the way soon..."

The video cuts to a shot of Erika from outside the elevator. She pulls out her phone as the camera slowly zooms away from the elevator. The same loading bar from previous videos appears - it is now almost full.

Summary

• This video features 3d footage of Tyler and Erika waiting in the elevator after escaping Regiminis in the video "Konvergenz". Strange footage that is difficult to decipher faintly plays over the video as Erika speaks to Tyler, asking him to wake up.

Updates

• YouTube Details:
Description: "He cant tell whats happening if you already changed it but if we can see it will it change or did it already happen? At least the events will be real, or later. Better riding with you than no one at all, better here than no where.

Head is funny, Ill make contact soon. Cant wait for the doors to open :)"

November 12th, 2021

• At 2:08 AM, the Internet Detectives Discord Server's banner image changed to a distorted screenshot of the building found in the "Library" Janus room that was shaped like the Regiminis sigil.
• At 2:24 AM, the player Pako discovered that the Regiminis sigil-shaped building in the "Library" Janus room was now accessible, containing portals on each of its entrances that led to different Janus rooms. Each of these Janus rooms made up different parts of the building, which was now revealed to be an Internet Detectives "Library" of sorts. For the sake of brevity, these various Janus rooms will be treated as one large Janus room within this wiki's documentation. It is also worth noting that the building's exterior in the "Library" Janus room had also been updated, now featuring bushes, trees, and fountains.

11/12/21 - "Internet Detectives Library" Janus Room - Withinhubris.com

The Library's exterior featured four entrances in the "Library" Janus room. These front entrance led to Library's lobby via the URL "https://withinhubris.com/id_lobby". The two entrances on the sides led to "https://withinhubris.com/id_west" and "https://withinhubris.com/id_east" respectively. The entrance on the back led to "https://withinhubris.com/id_back". Attempting to enter the Library from any entrance other than the lobby, however, would trap players in a small, dark room with a sign that read as follows:

ACCESS DENIED
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE TRIAL OF FIRE TO ENTER THE LIBRARY

Upon entering the Library's lobby, players would be greeted with a large room separated by a pit. This pit spewed out flames. If players attempted to cross the pit, they would be warped to an underground dungeon were the same sign as before could be found:

ACCESS DENIED
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE TRIAL OF FIRE TO ENTER THE LIBRARY

This dungeon contained a portal that led players to a new Janus room: "https://withinhubris.com/id_trial". This room featured an incredibly long hallway preceded by two signs:

YOU MUST WALK THE PATH
AGAIN AND AGAIN

THE 99 STEPS Trials
OF ENLIGHTENMENT

After walking through the incredibly long hallway, players would finally reach a doorway with a sign that read as follows:

ok youre in

After reaching this point, players would be able to explore the Library freely. The doorway at the end of the hallway contained a portal that led players to the Library's back room. This room was incredibly small, containing only some furniture. It also contained a portal that led players back into the lobby. The Library's lobby contained a large "INTERNET DETECTIVES" banner, a small help desk, and a white board that players could draw on. This white board already contained a message written on it that read as follows:

You can draw here lol
This location is still loading

A monitor behind the help desk could be clicked to load in the Johnisdead Wiki. Next to the monitor was a "Changelog" of sorts that contained the following text:

Library Updates
v1.0
 - Library officially open to visitors!

The lobby also contained portals to the Library's east and west wings. The Library's west wing contained a myriad of memes and notable screenshots from the Internet Detective's history. This room also featured art from various players and comics that could be read by clicking on pedestals. This room also featured an exit that led back to the Library's exterior in the "Library" Janus room. Next to this door was a sign that read as follows:

PLEASE WALK QUIETLY
IN THE HALLS

This room also contained a second floor that featured a small cafe named:

THERE GORE

This second floor also housed a door that could not be opened. The Library's east wing was similar to the west wing, housing many memes and art pieces by players. The east wing also featured a wall of YouTube video thumbnails that could be clicked on to open a separate Janus window where these videos could be watched. These videos were mostly meme videos created by players over the years. Much like with the west wing, the east wing also featured a portal that exited back out into the "Library" Janus room next to a sign that read:

PLEASE WALK QUIETLY
IN THE HALLS

This room also featured a second floor with a door that could not be opened. Players also discovered that they could enter into a hidden area below this room's staircase that led deeper into the Library's depths. This area contained a portal that led to another Janus room - "https://withinhubris.com/id_basement". This door was surrounded by signs that read as follows:

ACCESS FORBIDDEN
DARKNESS AWAITS

INFOHAZARD WARNING
DO NOT ENTER

The Library's basement was an incredibly dark cave that contained many memes of the player Mugen Kagemaru burning in piles of ash.

Summary

• This Janus room was the Internet Detectives Library - a large building dedicated to the Johnisdead playerbase that housed many community memes and creations. Before players could enter the Library proper, they would first have to enter the building's lobby and complete the "Trial of Fire".

November 20th, 2021

• At 11:32 AM, IIIII became active in the Internet Detectives Discord server, posting various messages and leading players to discover several changes within past YouTube uploads:
11:32 AM - IIIII posts an unknown message in the #announcements channel. It is not archived.
11:33 AM - IIIII posts a link to the video "Found a cool thing and now I am gonna go to work I guess" in the #announcements channel.
11:34 AM - The player Pako discovered that the description of the video "Found a cool thing and now I am gonna go to work I guess" now contained a link to the video "The usual".
11:36 AM - The player Pako discovered that the description of the video "The usual" had changed to a cipher that translated to "Quam veritatis cursus. Similis adstare ouroboros.", which translates to "What a course of truth. It is like standing near ouroboros.".
11:38 AM - The player Pako discovered that many videos on the Silentdork channel had been unlisted.
11:39 AM - IIIII posts a cipher that translates to "look for unlisted check tags".
11:40 AM - The player Laches discovered that the tags for the video "5646" had changed to "5464, Working with D, The DQ, The Distractor, The Welcome Home™ Link, Code: Frozen Ambrose Midas, Long Excerpt, Company protest union?".
11:42 AM - The players Pako and Laches discovered that the description of the video "passing by johns house" changed to a cipher that translated to the following:

11/20/21 - "passing by johns house" Description Cipher - YouTube (Silentdork)

the loop is defeated by those against time we who know of the decoy are those operating above it find the mkz m awtgq lzwluw of the imortal messanger and prevent the elevated messiah execution protocals from taking hold the manipulation of the egregore through root access to the creator avatar at the moment of collective bias activation through the end of the line hijack exploit on the collective spiritus mixed in during the sol luna world activation protocol will be initiated when the creator avatar has entered any stage of messiah mode and has carried welcome home in any form to the fourth manifestations b s g by which she will take on the titanic form the world construct through the welcome home merger result that gives her the collective bias activated spiritus mass the company will wwwwelcome home to achieve this even candidly exploiting those thought to be working for allies of decoy and those who do work for the creator avatar either indirectly through our three letter agent or otherwise their influence will function subliminally they seek to harvest the formula for jero dimension access and travel and additionally welcome home and data records of profitable information and reality media this will be welcome home through a mc chain technology system and in the case of buying and sell welcome home new experimental nic technology if the company wins then wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwelcome home he is crucified on the world construct and whatever can come out will be on topside

Summary

• This message is seemingly written by someone who describes their group as "we who know of the decoy" - a company of sorts. This group supposedly wishes to find the "imortal messanger" and prevent something known as the "elevated messiah execution protocals" from manipulating the "creator avatar" during an event known as the "collective bias activation". This would take place during some sort of "exploit".
• The aforementioned "exploit" supposedly has something to do with an event known as the "sol luna world activation protocol". This event is initiated when the "creator avatar" has entered something known as "messiah mode" and has carried an undisclosed person or object to something known as the "fourth manifestations b s g".
• After carrying the undisclosed person or object as described above, an unknown person described simply as "she" will change into a giant form of the "world construct". This will give her something known as the "collective bias activated spiritus mass". This message's writer implies this is something his group, a "company" of sorts, hopes to achieve.
• "The company" supposedly intends to exploit individuals who work for "allies of decoy" and individuals who support the "creator avatar". The writer implies this can be done through their "three letter agent".
• The writer implies that "they" - possibly referring to the aforementioned "three letter agent", works in subliminal ways. "They" supposedly wish to "harvest the formula for jero dimension access" and presumably travel there. Something involving "reality media" and a "mc chain technology system" is mentioned, though it is difficult to decipher.
The writer claims that if "the company" is successful, someone will be crucified on the "world construct" and "whatever can come out will be on topside".

11:52 AM - the player Laches discovered that the tags for the video "passing by johns house" changed to "Memory point Saved from ID chip, Reconstructing Meta Manifestation".
11:54 AM - the player Laches discovered that the tags for the video "Found a cool thing and now I am gonna go to work I guess" changed to "wait, Exploiting security rollback on main display, May leak more in future".
12:00 PM - the player Pako discovered that the description for the video "The usual" had changed to "Was browsing some of my favorite websites while looking into one of my least favorite. Something weird happened.".
12:01 PM - the player Pako discovered that the tags for the video "The usual" had changed to "5646".
12:09 PM - the player Pako discovered that the description for the video "passing by johns house" had changed to a cipher that translated to the following:

11/20/21 - "passing by johns house" Description Cipher - YouTube (Silentdork)

"I dont think anything sourced from the inside is going out there."
'Thats not entirely true, Many other spheres have been reaped for their value in this way. As for this one, some path loop iterations have layered into fifth manifestation from fourth entering into the Pseudo-Godhead.'
"Thats really temporary and yields no readable memory data in cube stasis or otherwise."
"What about Mats progress?"
'The side experiment involving that element is an odd venture on behalf of the company'
(I dont think the company is the only thing invested in him, remember the talk about LOGOS?)
"What does this little entity think he is trying to pull off? The mandella connected order was impressive and his allowance from the companies products along with Welcome Home™ that order that their master on fourth manifestation Welcome Home™ and control some of the deviations in the corrupted reality and that bridge they worked so hard for."
(Heh watching the progress of it all kind of reminds me of one of those generic scenes from the ring but really long and drawn out. Its kind of comical but the prospects are scary... yet interesting.)
'I bet he is aiming for god head but if not the entire sphWelcome Home™ then what? Surely they dont know there is more beyond that right'
(Did you just start work here yesterday?)
"Gonna clean this before the next D drop takes place, wouldnt want Welcome Home™ to sweep through and read it"

Summary

• This conversation involves two, possibly three individuals presumably from the previously mentioned "company" discussing a "sphere". Within the sphere in question, it is claimed that a "fourth manifestation" managed to layer into a "fifth manifestation" via "path loop iterations", resulting in the manifestation entering into a "Pseudo-Godhead". They claim that this "Pseudo-Godhead" status is only temporary and "yields no readable memory data in cube stasis or otherwise.", however.
• The conversation turns to Mat. It is revealed that "the company" views him as a side experiment of sorts. It's implied that something known as "LOGOS" is also interested in Mat, however. They then question what Mat's goals are, mentioning something known as a "mandella connected order" that he managed to pull off. A "bridge" is mentioned, along with one of the company individuals likening this all to a scene from the movie "The Ring".
• "The company" individuals discuss whether Mat is attempting to reach "Godhead", unsure whether or not he is aware that there is more beyond said status. One of the individuals then presumably begins to erase their conversation before something known as a "D drop" occurs, not wanting anyone to read it.

12:12 PM - the player Pako discovered that the description of "passing by johns house" had returned to normal.

November 22nd, 2021

• At 6:35 PM, the player Laches submitted the audio file "Sonata_Bossa_Nova.mp3" in the Internet Detectives Discord server along with text that read as follows:
"So 1123 is tomorrow. A date of significant memetic influence. While I've been mostly content to sit on the sidelines and watch I'm particularly worried about what this device means in the context of our goals. What it means for Tyler's fate.
For so long he's been walking through the Hall of Fame, seemingly voiceless to us. Asleep in a never ending spiral of nightmarish trials, almost powerless in his ability to shape his own destiny. And yet we continue to watch on. I don't know what tomorrow brings, but what I do know is that what remains of the Lunar Children want it to happen. At the very least, I think Tyler should be allowed to weigh in on this fate. He should be given voice once again. After this whole year of watching and learning, it feels like you're a friend I've never known and for that, I can't sit by and watch. I don't have fancy memetic powers like our hacker friends. I don't have super slick data-moshing and editing skills like Xen. But there's one thing I do sort of have.
It's time for you, and our lost harbingers to reawaken, and speak."

November 23rd, 2021

At 2:25 PM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner changed to a distorted image that contained text that read "WireTalk". Shortly after this, it returned to normal.
At 9:05 PM, the name of the Internet Detectives Discord server briefly changed to "ID SE24GD01UK D30-33".
At 9:07 PM, the Internet Detectives Discord server banner changed to a strange image of shapes and the numbers "1" and "5" - an image that had appeared previously. The banner returned to normal shortly after this.
• At 9:11 PM, a new video began premiering on the Silentdork YouTube channel - "Civitas". The initial thumbnail of this video was once again "Stare Guy".

11/23/21 - "Civitas" - YouTube (Silentdork)

This video began with more 3d footage of Tyler and Erika - presumably continuing from the previous video, "elevator scene". The video plays out in a first-person perspective as Tyler stares at the buttons within the elevator. As he moves towards the door, Erika can be seen standing in the door's reflection. The door opens, revealing what appears to be a park-like area with buildings in the distance. Tyler begins walking along a path in the park. Meanwhile, footage can be seen faintly playing over the video.

The camera eventually pans out into a third-person view showing Tyler walking while holding his phone. As the camera pans around, Erika can be seen floating behind Tyler while holding a laptop. The video cuts to a shot behind Erika. She appears to be watching a real-life representation of the 3d Tyler's movements along the path. As the camera shifts past Erika, the faint footage suddenly brightens and shows someone moving past the camera.

Erika turns to look at the sky. The camera pans and reveals she is looking at what appears to be another elevator descending from above. There also appears to be a large grid of cubes higher up in the sky. Some of these cubes appear to be moving in and out of position. As the camera is focusing on the sky, the faint footage playing in the background once again becomes clearer as a man looks into the camera.

The video then cuts to another shot of Tyler and Erika standing in the elevator similar to the one seen in the video "elevator scene". The faint footage continues playing over this scene, showing the following:
A room containing a bottle and a mask hanging on a TV.
A notebook featuring drawings and scribbles.
The "Beacon" that was left outside Tyler's home by Daniel.
The book "Cult of Ecstasy", which is used in the tabletop RPG "Vampire: The Masquerade".
A "Seven of Hearts" card.
A "Detour Sign" laying on the ground.
An Absque Fascie.

The footage of the elevator suddenly cuts to black. After a few seconds, real-life footage begins playing - presumably from Tyler's perspective. Tyler walks through some grass before focusing the camera on a "DEAD END" sign. As the camera moves, Regiminis can be seen standing in the background behind the camera. As Tyler approaches him, the footage suddenly cuts back to the elevator scene. More faint footage can be seen of someone standing in a room.

The video cuts to black once again. Faint footage of Tyler falling can be seen. A clip of Tyler recording himself with a phone in a bathroom begins playing. Tyler attempts to speak, but his voice is heavily distorted. Text from Erika appears on screen:

Erika: "Shh, you are not ready to speak"
Erika: "You ought to stick to the namesake here"
Erika: "When you are finally able to read this, thats not good. Normal eyes can't see here, only tech. Obviously something is happening to you, mister!"

As Tyler is recording himself in a mirror, he suddenly freezes and falls over as he realizes Regiminis is watching him from the doorway. The footage then cuts to a clip of Tyler walking around a room. The video then cuts once again to Tyler hiding in a closet in the room. Through the closet's blinders, Regiminis can be seen entering the room before slowly opening the closet door.

The video then suddenly cuts back to the elevator. The same loading bar from previous videos appears once again, now glitching out and losing some progress before continuing.

Summary

• This video seems to be a continuation of "elevator scene", showing Tyler and Erika leaving the elevator and walking through a park. Erika then looks up and sees another elevator descending from the sky. Higher up in the sky is a large grid of cubes. The video then cuts to another shot of the elevator, showing Tyler and Erika still waiting within it.
• Various other video clips can be seen throughout the footage, such as Tyler being pursued by Regiminis and short shots of objects such as the "Detour Sign", the "Beacon", masks, and the "Seven of Hearts" card.

Description: Whoever made that lovely piece, we could hear it even this long ago. But you played to our eyes and ears rather than to our heart. Still it brought out some words, but at a poor time. Try again in the 'right' place if you would care to. Spooki man still has not spoken directly about the long ritual though despite this somewhat immediate effect. Strange how the passage of things goes. Sort of like the window I have now to say this, I would not really know how to catagorize the timeframe following your own time that I am actually writing all of this out in

further more the

"Wwwwwwwwwwwwwelcome Home™ and probably not going to be able to keep all of these from getting logged so lets try to keep it moving, got a new place over at Welcome Home™ so dont respond here, whatever its gonna capture will get captured. I was counting on that because the people on the outside have to at least have a trail head before they can start coming up with their own answers. This info war is a mutual exchange type thing. Im getting distracted, I think this should confirm for them the old D Drop spot. DeWelcome Home™ink. I dont know if they already have everything else to piece together whats happening but hopefully next chance we get to patch in to Welcome Home™km we should maybe get a chance to straighten things out. Dont let the dream die compatriots, all for one and one for all!

(Hell yeah, all for one! And one for all!)

'damn it Welcome Home™ said not to respond, check Welcome Home™'

(lol whoops sorry, I was just gonna say I added to the package they are getting here to show them where Welcome Home™km first got connected to the Welcome Home™)

'OH MY GOD Welcome Home™, IF THEY CANT WORK THAT OUT THEMSELVES THEY ARE DUMB ASSES, LIKE YOU ARE BEING RIGHT NOW. Welcome Home™ RIGHT NOW, PLEASE!'

"Compatriots please, assuming this is one of the first things that leaks out this is a really embarrassing first impression. It doesn't matter if a few more lines are tacked on the end of this as long as its not a book. AFO!"

(OFA!)

'OFA!'
