F4CE is still in the hospital…

Howdy do, people. It’s Pr0xy, tappin in for F4CE because we’re dealing with the usual bullshit over here. We were having a Jurassic Park marathon and F4CE started rambling about “Ian Malcolm has it wrong, DEATH finds a way”. He delivered a whole straight-up monologue about it. Then he started running a low-grade fever with cold sweats. Also seems to be having a lot of brain fog, but there are still moments of lucidity where he says he’s okay. That’s the only thing making me feel like I don’t need to bring him over to urgent care or something. Plus, what do you even fucking say? “Um, please remove the large chunk of my best friend’s brain that has a crystal growing out of it” (not that I know what THAT situation looks like on the inside). If I could get a tincture to fix it at the Halloween store, I would have done it ages ago.
This is just one of the myriad ways he’s been acting even stranger lately. I think he has altogether stopped telling me when he gets a vision from seeing some random object out in the city. Guess it’s time to demand a meet from this Monet guy who responded to our email. I WILL get answers from one or both of the suspects from the Clean Energy Conference.
We’ve made some headway on the formula that Sigma gave us, so we’ll try to post the updated answers we’ve gathered tomorrow. Twin has started doing some higher quality X Spaces with guests every Monday night and I’m thinking I wanna get in on it! I could host one every week too! It would probably be good for my social life honestly since I am like full time caregiver mode right now. I don’t mind! Just saying…

Yo, digital fam
Let me tell you, our latest trek following that lead into the wilds of Fuller Park straight-up felt like a scene from a thriller. Right down to the “abandoned” traincar, a perfect setting for a horror movie kill scene. The coordinates we got from that gov document very clearly pointed to this car. There’s no doubt that whatever made those super high tech energy signals is/was based here.
Walking up to that rusty rectangle without anything heavier than a flashlight had us thinking maybe it’s time to pack some heat on these investigations. I don’t know if we could actually take out that Morgan lady with a gun, but would def help to feel like running and being caught wasn’t the only option.
Door was stuck closed or locked so all we could do is knock. Silence. We were scared shitless with hearts pounding but we hung in there and kept knocking until finally the door slid open a crack and this electric blue light spilled out. Then there’s a voice, somehow gruff and robotic at the same time, asking who we are and what we want. Told him we were following some weird energy readings – boom, door slams in our faces.
Pr0xy, man, she lost it. I guess she’s feeling burnout (understandable). We haven’t made much progress lately, this fucking crystal is still poisoning my brain, I’m seeing more and more weird visions, and I have no fucking idea how to find even one “key of power”. Well she got impatient as hell and starts this half-cry, half-yell spiel about how we have just as much right to that random traincar as he does. Rambling about how I’m gonna die now because of him and that karma’s a bitch. Last thing she yelled was “You’re playing right into the fucking Unmaker’s hands, you know!!” and I guess he’s in the know, ‘cause the guy lets us in. And holy motherboard, the inside’s like some tinkerer tech wizard junk cave – random gadgets, ancient and futuristic looking things, plus things shoddily cobbled together. I think I even saw an old washboard.
Traincar Guy says we can call him Sigma. And what the fuck, dude’s a sight straight out of a sci-fi saga. Long white hair and robes is the most normal thing about him, it gets so much weirder. His face is covered in what I’m going to call tattoos, his jaw may or may not be made of metal, his neck definitely is, and his fucking right arm is a cyborg robot monstrosity. And the cherry on top – a hologram projector for an eye! No wonder he’s holed up here, if anyone saw him they’d immediately haul him off to Area 51 (or more likely a place with no name). He wouldn’t let me take his picture and almost busted up my camera until I promised to be cool.
He wanted to know what we know ab “The Unmaker”, and guess what, we wanted to know the same from him. turns out neither of us know much, other than the shit winds are blowing and there’s a shitstorm of one kind or another on the way.
Sigma said he got stuck here from another time and place and he’s trying to get back. But here’s the kicker… despite the fact that he’s super saavy, he won’t touch our “infoverse” (internet) because, and I quote: “It’s inhabited by a Class Seven Being/Intelligence and I will not give it access to my systems”. Then he said he doesn’t understand how “an entity of such power could have come to exist on your primitive network.” Like, our net’s too haunted for his tech or his robot brain or whatever. WTF?
Then he scans my head and almost flips his lid. Turns out, the green nightmare lodged in my skull? It’s like a beacon for the Unmaker – yeah, the universe-eating terror we’ve all become so familiar with lately. Only he called it “The Phage.” Def has a more sci-fi ring to it.
Sigma said he’d sign on to help us, but first he wants some very specific details that we can get for him. He says he needs the 411 on our solar system to get his gear up to speed, and he can’t find it without getting online. Stuff like the sun’s age, how long wince we started using nukes, even some scientific shit ab Jupiter. He grabbed my notepad & pen and “ahnd “hand” wrote the formula & instructions with his crazy robot arm. I swear he did it like a printer, line by line, dot by dot. It was crazy to see.
So, that’s where we’re at. Sitting in traincars with a cyborg and waiting to see if said cyborg can even help or if he’s full of shit. mfer could himself be the “Key of Unknown Technology” tho, so we’ve got to go for it.
Your mission is to get to work figuring this out for Sigma. It became priority one when we found a cyborg in a train car. Obviously we’ll work on it too, but the more we can split off the work the better.

I’m gonna need your help with this one, 4gents of kh4os…
Pr0xy and I just went hard on the Cravings Value Menu at Taco Bell before her shift at the halloween store. If I LIVE MAS then I won’t die as fast, right? RIGHT?! Maybe one day she’ll meet someone at work there that’s magical af and can solve all of these problems by wiggling their nose or tapping their toes or what have you.
So we’ve been trying to track down Professor Lindbergh (the doctor dude responsible for the crystal freak show). We got his home addy and email, but his email had an auto response saying he’s in London. Looks like it’ll be another week before we can hear his story. We’re not about to sit on our asses at a time like this, tho. So we hit up another d00d from the Future Avenues of Clean Energy Conference – a gov agency employee by the name of Dr. Monet. His name has been in other parts of the government file, but I wasn’t hyped to contact him knowing I’d just stolen from his people. But with this green time bomb ticking in my skull, we just have to roll the dice. It can’t hurt to feel out his vibe digitally at least.
These visions have been ramping up. I’ve created another portrait of an Avalonion (which did seem to help) but still having pains, flashes, and sometimes an out of body feeling. Sometimes its like I’m tripping balls and there’s the quickest feeling of being in what I can only describe as a hell universe. Not cool. I see fire and pain and hopelessness all around me, and there’s a sensation that I’m somewhere far away, but its so lightning fast and then its over. It sucks because I never know when I’ll have a break and when I wont. Sometimes I’ll go 8 hours with nothing and its amazing. It’s making it hard af to deal with work, but they got me on the easier deliveries for now. I’m gonna talk to The Twins about doing more art, branding, and menu work and pulling back some on the deliveries.
Since we have to switch gears a bit because the prof isn’t in, our next move is to dig through some automated reports we found. I dug up an old report referencing anomalous readings in Fuller Park. From there I pulled up the automated reports of the actual readings, and we’re gonna see what we can learn from it. I need to make some art and zone out to Fallout. Pretty obsessed right now, its really helping take me out of myself and giving me hits of nostalgia. Nostalgia of a time in my life when I didn’t feel like every moment was my fucking last. Pr0xy has to go to work and I really don’t want to work on this shit while she’s gone and risk getting more weird flashes. It’s been a bad day for that shit. Feels like I’m losing my sense of self.
4gents of kh4os, please plot these locations and see if you can come up with a lead. Some place where the action seems to be happening? We need some strands to follow until this Lindberg character returns.
Found the link to set it up. I just can’t deal with it right now. The space I would normally have for it is being occupied by a huge ass rock, you see…
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/?hl=en
Talk soon. Help me out w these coordinates and LIVE MAS amidst the khaos!

Update: I’m still alive.
I’m kind of feeling hopeful.
Me and Pr0xy are breaking new ground in this psychotic scavenger hunt. We hauled ass back to the library to follow up on Hendricks’ (halloween store dude) story about a crystal explosion at a conference over 20 years ago. Feels like I’m living in a real life Call of Cthulhu game. But yo, jackpot! We found an article, talking all about an incident with a “crystalline energy infusion”. This might just be the key to the whole shebang. Finally, something concrete to go on!
From there, we did a search for the conference in the encrypted government data (which I’m still decrypting-holy shit it takes a long time). Sure enough… there’s a doc on the Future Avenues in Clean Energy conference. There are six names mentioned in the document, and one of these science wizards is the one that performed the crystal experiment. And whoever he is, that’s the one we need to pay a visit to STAT while my heart is still beating. And the more knowledgeable people we get in contact with the better. They could even maybe help us get Jeff back…
So, calling all my 4gents of kh4os out there—this is where you come in. We’re on the brink of something. Just gotta ID our mystery scientist and see if he’s still in town. Why would anyone leave Chicago tho? We already have a lot of shit on our plate and it would be ideal if one (or all LOL) of ya’ll could figure this out. Slide in the dm’s or hit up the forum if you need anything. If you help me with this shit, you can bet that I will remember it. And I’ll try to reward you. That’s the best I got right now.
Also, Twin is doing late night X Spaces all week. Prob usually popping off around 9pm Central.

Pr0xy has had me on a low internet sanity plan lately. She seemed so sure that we’ll be able to find info we need to make our next move out in the “real world” since we’re looking into the “key of ancient power”. Because of that, going pre-internet made some kind of sense. I gotta admit I liked the idea of taking my hand off the driver’s wheel.
I’ve learned a lot about Pr0xy lately that I didn’t necessarily get from our time gaming online together. She’s kind of a witch. Or at least witch-y. She says they’re always dealing with weird under the table “magic” and “alchemical” stuff at the halloween store she works at. I guess I believe anything is possible at this point. She said it’s not spells and wands and the things you usually think of, but more like powerful artifacts, tinctures & supplies.
We went to the library and only found dusty ol books full of dead ends, so we ended up going to the museum to fuck around since we were already out & about. This day is making me realize that for as jacked as my life has become since I stole that government file, the situation is also forcing me to leave my degen lair. Gotta live before you die, right? (and hopefully die before you die, too)
We were checking out some cool old paintings and holy shit one of them was of a woman holding some sort of crystal ball with a green crystal inside. Imagine my surprise when I read the tag next to it.
Morgan le Fay by Edward Burne-Jones 1872 [pictured at top of post]. what the fuck.
I asked a docent who told me it’s a different iteration of a painting that the artist originally did in 1862, that he then riffed on later in his career. Why the actual fuck would the artist choose to do that? Has she actually been alive and pulling strings for centuries?! I am still holding out hope that it’s just her stage name and she’s a huge stan of Arthurian legend. I guess any hornet’s nest worth swatting is gonna be full of hornets… or some shit like that.
The next stop on Pr0xy’s mandatory field trip was to the halloween store where she works. It was pretty sick, I’d never actually been there before. Extra cool after making my creation yesterday featuring one of their mannequins, because I got to see a couple of them “in the plastic”. Get it?! But she didn’t actually drag us there to buy f4ce-paint or masks, she said she wanted to talk to her boss. Dude’s name is James Hendricks which is pretty hilarious. I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share our drama with him but Pr0xy insisted he was cool and it was the right move.
So we knocked at the back “employees only” room and a man in his fifties with glasses and a shock of white hair running through the greyish brown gestured us into a back sitting room. We told him how we were in the shit and asked him what he knows about Morgan Le Fey or powerful green crystals. He sighed a loaded sigh and took off his glasses to tinker with them for a minute. He told us his parents had opened the store originally and they’d told him stories throughout his life about the secret family business of alchemy – and the risks that come with having “magic blood”. Then he dove into this whole epic saga…
Hendricks said that according to legend, King Arthur and Morgan Le Fey were half siblings and lovers, with Mordred being their child together. There was a lot of drama there. Apparently Mordred was as evil & depraved as Arthur was good and chivalrous, and Mordred became known as “Heoruwearg” or “The Wolf”. Then he pulled out a dusty old book and showed us the crazy pic above. Eventually Mordred & Arthur met in battle, and Mordred was dealt a mortal wound by Arthur, who in turn was mortally wounded by Mordred. Arthur was taken away “through the mists,” and Morgan lost her mind with grief over her dying son. It is said she used Mordred’s heart to try to bring him back, but instead created a blood-thirsty abomination, neither alive nor dead. The Wolf has been said to stalk the night and slaughter those with magical blood, dragging them away to the shadow realm. Legend holds that through dark magicks both mother and son survived these long centuries and still lurk in the shadows today.
Mr. Hendricks said he doesn’t know how true any of this is, but he still remembered how serious and steely his parents’ eyes became when they spoke of The Wolf. They told him he must always keep a low profile, but it’s been forever and he’s never run into any freaky guys in spiky black armor with glowing green eyes, so I guess he figures it’s cool to talk about now? Or maybe he just really trusts Pr0xy.
I asked him if he uses or sells green crystals in his magic and he got thoughtful. He said he certainly never uses anything like that, but he remembers maybe 20 years ago an incident that stirred up the whole alchemy community. There was a science conference in Chicago where a crystal transmutation presentation was performed by a scientist that led to an explosion and a lot of controversy. Pr0xy thinks we might find some more info in an old newspaper, so it looks like we’ll be heading back to the library soon.
Hendricks seemed pretty worried about us even though we hadn’t even gotten into discussing all the shenanigans that have happened lately (like the fact that I have one of those crystals in my godamn head right now!) He let us know we could come by the halloween store anytime. It’s cool to make a friend instead of an enemy for once.
Twin 1 asked me to tell people to vote in the poll he posted on my account and go to his Spaces. So her I am, telling you.

I’ve been diving into something… different today. The demon from Avalon’s face has been haunting me nonstop & my head has been throbbing the whole time. But I finally got her out of my brain!! I just had to stop fighting it and lean in hard.
I pulled out a polaroid from the collection left by our mysterious dearly departed dude and used that as the backdrop. Then I snipped out a pic of a demon mannequin from that halloween store catalogue Pr0xy gave me. The mannequin body is a perfect match honestly. It’s weird how much it looks like her. Then I grabbed a stack of magazines and cut out the snake, gas mask & head knocker.
I felt like a mad scientist making it. But it felt good… right. Maybe also kinda crazy or surreal? It also felt right to scribble some notes and words that vibe with my visions. It seems weird but I know, this demon chick is a liar. Like as a defining trait. I guess it’s not surprising considering she goes around wearing a snake lmao.
And guess what? Ever since I finished this thing, my head is lighter. Almost clear. Might actually get some quality z’s for once. But it seems like a bad sign too, like I’m doing what the crystal wants me to do. But I really don’t give a shit rn. I have to do something to cope with what’s happening to my brain and I don’t see how making art could be hurting anyone…
Maybe we can finalize our next move. I really miss Jeff. Gotta figure out how I can find him without killing me and Pr0xy in the process.
Twin said he’s hosting Spaces all week so I guess go listen to his music & ramblings. Once in a while he says something that hits.

For better or for worse, I’m getting back to the grind. I knew it might get dicey with me going off on my own without someone to keep me from spiraling. Spoiler: It did. My brain hasn’t always been an easy place to live, but at least I never dealt with “seeing things” before these crystal shenanigans. Now I’ve had to cross “seeing things” off of my cosmic bingo card – in black sharpie. And it doesn’t seem like it’s just random junk flashing before my eyes. Lately, it’s like I’ve got cheat codes for life popping into my head. Possible answers to stuff I didn’t even know I was asking. Unfortunately, it’s usually pretty vague. I’ve been able to sorta ignore them. I think they are becoming more clear as the crystal becomes more of a part of me? Yesterday I had one right at 26th when I glanced at one of the last remaining pay phones in Chicago. Some dude in a big grey coat approached the phone, glancing over his shoulders before dialing a number he seemed to know by heart based on how quick he dialed it in. All I got in the vision was him saying “The streetlights were flickering on my walk home.” After the call he seems to tape an envelope under the pay phone. I checked to see if it was still there, but it wasn’t.
But last night, man. Last night cranked it up to eleven. The pounding headache made a brief appearance, but by the end even my ears were ringing. Can’t stop seeing the same flashes of an image of a demon woman. It’s like its telling me to do something related to her, but I don’t know what. Maybe they’ve turned me into a John Wick super assassin for their evil deeds and I have to eliminate all the targets. God I hope not. Seems like they’d choose someone less chronically online if that’s what they wanted though, right? Anyway, I’m handing over a pizza, and BAM the customer is now rocking the demon girl’s head. I couldn’t even hear what dude was saying over the white noise blasting in my skull. I ended up curled in a ball on the sidewalk when I came to. Dude must have thought shit was about to get real, cause he was pretty nice about it and still gave me a good tip.
Big ups to the Pandora Twins for not kicking me to the curb when I told them about the recent events. It helps that Twin reads my blog. Solid gold, those two, sticking with you when you’re basically turning into a sci-fi side show. This is why I am doing extra flyering for them right now. I’ve been slapping out our new pizza promotion, the “Mt. Olym-PIE” on every bare pole I see.
It’s seriously painful to keep seeing this new image. What’s it all mean? Damn if I know. But I’m on it, hunting down clues. Feels like the universe is throwing me a scavenger hunt from hell. Talk soon. We’re going to be hosting X Spaces from my account all week this week. Expect more details regarding our next moves, too. Me and Pr0xy are onto something.

April 10, 2024
In an atypical move for me, I decided to step back from the madness for a minute. Pr0xy and I had a spontaneous burst of clarity and decided distraction and a disruption of the current pattern was needed. My mental health wasn’t amazing pre-crystal implantation, so you can guess how recent events may be affecting that situation. Anyway, we decided to go eat fast food on the road and chase down the eclipse. An obvious choice because its cool as hell and free to watch. My life has been feeling pretty all-important lately so I think I really needed to stare at the vastness of space and feel insignificant.
It didn’t end up making me feel insignificant though. During the eclipse there was this crazy green tinge. I caught it in the video up top. Initially I thought it was the shard playing tricks on my vision, but Pr0xy said she saw it too. And its in the video. I’m grateful I still have shit happen that makes me feel like I’m not crazy. Is this somehow related to “The Abyssal” and what they’re doing? If so, how did they tinge the sun? Like a godamn Batman signal?! My head feels absolutely fucked from this. Like I’ve suddenly developed migraines. Right when the eclipse happened, it was a throbbing like someone was banging on drums in there. I really hope my head doesn’t fucking explode before we can figure this out.
Its been really great having Pr0xy essentially living here. We met playing WoW years ago and hadn’t ever hung out quite this much before. I definitely think its going to help this whole process of cracking the Three Keys move faster too. Speaking of which, we think we’re onto something regarding the Key of Ancient Power. I’m not ready to spill the beans yet, but the wheels are turning. I feel a renewed vigor and determination to jump back into everything. The Three Keys that Hyp3ri0n has teased are more confusing territory than before, so I really think we could use more 4gents of kh40s. This way there are always people to help us whenever something comes up. I’m glad Twin has been out there promoting his business on Twitter Spaces, but Pr0xy says she should prob get out there too, given that she’s in the thick of this with me. I think we’d get a lot more targeted recruiting. Pr0xy wants to have planned spaces.
We’ve got keys to find, mysteries to solve, and an untimely demise to avoid. Hopefully I’m not our hope for saving the world or some shit. Even after a break, I don’t feel prepared to take that on.

I’m still feeling like absolute shit. A kind of a paralyzed feeling like I don’t wanna make any moves since everything went down at Hermes Labs. But this morning I got some information that is forcing me to take some action again. Not only is there a new unkillable pop-up on my pc, the forum on the website had a new visitor who calls himself Hyp3ri0n. He claims to be the voice behind the pop ups and he brought a real good news/bad news situation to the table. Probably closer to good news because the bad news had pretty much been deduced already. Hyperion said that the green crystal will almost definitely kill me eventually, but there is a way out. Apparently since I’m not the first to get crystal-ed there have been ideas kicking around that may work.
So he’s saying my only chance is to find these Three Vague Keys he talks about in his forum post and the new pop-up. The key of secret knowledge, the key of ancient power, the key of unknown technology. Sounds like some fantasy novel shit, but I feel selfish trying to gather up some sort of fellowship to help me in the IRL sense since Jeff is still missing. Luckily, until I figure out my next moves Pr0xy has been crashing here and helping me. She’s been demanding to come on my next venture out. I can’t accept any more casualties, yet I also don’t want to be alone with this weirdass crystal inside of me. I have to admit I’m really worried that Morgan or The Phage or whoever tf will take over my body and I’ll just start killing people or some shit.
Hyperion has also said that these three keys wouldn’t just save me, but could potentially do MUCH more good than that. Trying to focus on the solutions and possible happy endings here, but its getting harder and harder.
For those 4gents of kh4os who are still here… thanks. I’m not giving up on our mission, but I will need your help more than ever.

Jeff may be dead. My ears are bleeding. I’ve got 4 hours of time that I fully cannot account for. It would be an understatement to say things didn’t go so well yesterday. I’m still hanging here by the skin of my teeth but a lot worse for wear. Yesterday, Jeff and I went to Hermes Labs (alchemy and other fuckery central founded by Zimmerman in the 1930’s) after I found a few different docs that led me to the address of the old site. The redacted parts of the document led me to believe there had to be some way in. I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised that it was ground zero for some unexplainably weird shit. A shitshow if you will.
When we arrived at the site, it was clear every entrance to the main Hermes Labs building had been cemented shut. I’ve never seen anything like it; even the windows. Like a tomb. We walked around the property until we found the old warehouse mentioned in the report, locked up behind a fence. A part of the fence was cut and had a worn path going through, so we followed it. Inside, the warehouse seemed to be empty, except for a few signs of what could be squatters. But inside the warehouse there was this hatch… What the actual fuck is that hatch about? It’s the last thing I remember clearly before everything went black.
Luckily, I took a pic of the hatch. I went to start a video when I heard something loud and stuffed my phone in my pocket, but I still got some audio. Most of what I have is just muffled random indiscernible noises, but one part is pretty clear. It’s a woman claiming to be Morgan Le Fay. Yeah like the character from Arthurian Legend. Probably (hopefully??) a stage name. Anyway, she was talking about implanting a crystal in my head. I woke up with the mother of all headaches, bleeding from my ears and now, sure enough, there is this… green crystal in my head. It’s deep in there, and only visible to me when I look in the mirror. No joke, I can see it in mirrors, but no one else can. I am here with my friend Pr0xy right now. I just filled her in on everything and she confirmed it can’t be seen.
Speaking of friends, Jeff was right there with me, but I haven’t seen him since. Things didn’t seem to go too well for him based the recording. I am freaking out that he’s dead or something and the only reason is because I was hesitant to go alone to this investigation stuff by myself again. Maybe I’m better off going alone. If I survive the fucking day. Dead Dude Zimmerman had these crystals and look how absolutely jacked up he was.
My future feels like a walking question mark right now. A lot to unpack but this is all I have the energy for right now tbh.
April 1, 2024
I’ve been looking for information about Dead Dude (aka Dr. Zimmerman) and I may have struck gold with this document from the agency data. It looks like the gov actually absorbed the lab that Zimmerman founded back during Ancient Times. Certainly didn’t expect to see a mention of hazardous “fanny bags” (!?!)
More talk of crystals… I still can’t forget how completely terrifying it was to see green crystals growing out of someone’s skin like that. You’d think it would be pretty, but trust me… So unsettling.
Luckily I have no life and have been rifling through all of this like a greedy grandson looking for his inheritance.
I was able to find the redacted street name in the newspaper article I posted recently “Tragic Descent of a Brilliant Mind” from the Founder’s File. And wouldn’t you know? It’s on Sassafras Road. That’s why Dead Dude said that to me! I thought it was just the dose of DMT that hits your brain when you die starting to take effect. Looks like I’m going into the real world again for another investigation. It’s time to find out if there are any secrets left to uncover at Hermes Labs. Now that I know the unpredictable nature and extreme danger of the shit we’re dealing with, I won’t keep going out there alone. This time I’ll take my roommate Jeff along for the ride.
.F4CE OUT.

ive been searching through the dead dude’s bag for everything that looks like a journal entry and i’m making a pile. this stuff gets strange. i’m trying to put in into some kind of order. it’s obvious that he went totally crazy at some point because some of these entries are written out clearly on paper, and others are scrawled illegibly across whatever he could find at the time.
it’s is very House of Leaves. here’s the part im thinking of:
“Endless snarls of words, sometimes twisting into meaning, sometimes into nothing at all, frequently breaking apart, always branching off into other pieces I’d come across later - on old napkins, the tattered edges of an envelope, once even on the back of a postage stamp; everything and anything but empty; each fragment completely covered with the creep of years and years of ink pronouncements; layered, crossed out, amended; handwritten, typed; legible, illegible; impenetrable, lucid; torn, stained, scotch taped; some bits crisp and clean, others faded, burnt or folded and refolded so many times the creases have obliterated whole passages of god knows what—sense? truth? deceit? a legacy of prophecy or lunacy or nothing of the kind?“
anyway, the pic above is a page from an old newspaper that fell out of one of the folders. based on what i’ve seen in the other docs, it seems like the dead dude may have been the dr. zimmerman from this article. sounds like he was into some freaky shit and so was his buddy whitaker.

I can’t get their faces out of my mind. The cyberpunk girl’s especially. Since none of the pictures came out I have to make sure I don’t forget, it was too crazy and important. It’s blowing my mind that they’re all actually here on this planet. Hopefully the government agents weren’t playing nice with them initially only to experiment on them or some creepy shit.. I can’t draw well but I want you all to see what I’ve seen. Weirdly enough she looks SO much like a mannequin at the Halloween Store my friend Pr0xy works at, so I just cut that pic out of their sales catalogue. I know how crazy I must seem right now but hopefully you can see this is all legit. Its really encouraging to know that I have people supporting me in this.
Incidentally, none of you have solved the puzzle on the pizza box yet… 😉

Sometimes if you just sit still, a mystery can begin to solve itself. I’ve got another pop-up that won’t go away. It’s super dramatic and weird, but I don’t know why I expected anything else. I guess I haven’t come to terms with the amount of drama that’s in my life currently. I think I’m going to need to enlist more help. I can’t say I’m surprised to find out that someone wants to “lay waste to our realm”; things are pretty fucked here. Still, I won’t be the one that gives up.
Video Guy talks about “agents of shadow” coming “draped in many forms”. This is perfect for my growing paranoia to attach itself to! Need to start bringing people with me when I go out into the world and generally being around other humans more, I think. I’m gonna see what’s up with Pr0xy… And if not there’s always Jeff (roommate). With all that talk of “fear is the tool of The Unmaker”, Video Guy must have seen Dune 2 recently.
My next steps are to keep sifting through the dead dude’s file until I figure out what my next step will be. I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for anything on this Order of Daedalus or The Unmaker. I do get a sense that Video Guy is trustworthy, though. What do you think, 4gents of kh4os? Let me know in the comments!

F4CE here, your trusty chronicler of the unseen. I survived my first investigation and suffice it to say, the Avalon Rendezvous did not disappoint. I showed up an hour before the meeting was supposed to start. I found a good spot to hunker down and wait. The black SUVs showed up 30 minutes later. I was lucky they didn’t secure the area. They seemed nervous and did a lot of pointing out over the lake. All I saw was mist. I took a pic (above).
It was surreal af, these top secret agency type people standing at the edge of a misty lake, waiting. Then it got much weirder. I saw the bow of a wooden boat cut through the mist and took the pic at the top. I couldn’t fucking believe or understand what I was seeing but it was a big warrior looking guy with axes on his back, some cyberpunk looking woman with green skin pointed ears, and huge crazy teeth (I kid you not), and then a roswellian green skinned alien in a blue hoodie. I think he was eating cotton candy??
They all started coming my way so I had to lay down flat. I was in shock or something. I stayed down until I heard their cars driving away. Idk what I saw exactly, and then things got even weirder… I heard splashing out in the lake and the there was a dude staggering out of the mist holding a giant shoulder bag. But this dude was COVERED in weird green glowing crystals. He lurched over to me and grabbed my shirt then shoved his giant bag into my hands.
This was the weirdest scariest guy I’ve ever seen. He’s right up to my face an he whispers his last fucking words in my ear and collapses dead at my feet. Between fits of coughing he said, “Listen to me boy, I’m Dr. Zimmerman, founder of Hermes Labs. I’ve been trapped on the other side for years, decades… This is all I have left. Don’t let them get it… It’s all teetering. The echoes from yesterday bleed into tomorrow and back into yesterday, boy. Sassafrassssss.” I took the bag and booked it. I must have been in a fugue state after that because I remember nothing about my trip home. My mind has prob been trying to protect me from all the crazy shit that’s been happening. So far the bag seems to be full of scribbled journal entries, polaroids of crazy places, coded messages, letters, and other trinkets. wtf is happening?
Even more potential answers, even more questions.

I am literally shaking with butterflies flying throughout my whole body. I’ve finally come across a document that has zero redactions and isn’t a lunch menu! I’ve got the attachment, too. It seems to be at a nearby lake, and I’ve decided I’m going. How can I pass this up the chance when The Avalon Doc was the most heavily redacted of all the documents I’ve decrypted so far. I’m just hoping I won’t need a keycard or biometric signature or anything else to access whatever this meeting is. Definitely makes you feel a bit nervous when you think about all the people that have probably been erased just for seeing something they weren’t supposed to see. But I HAVE to see it!

F4CE here, clacking away at the keyboard with an energy drink as always. It’s not easy waking up from my trademark insomniac nights. You know, there’s something about the quiet of 3 AM that just gets the brainwaves flowing. Maybe it’s the world finally pausing for a breath, or maybe it’s just my internal clock. I think I got the button stuck/broken on “hacker time” years ago and it refuses to be changed. Included in this post are the only 2 pages I could salvage of this 44 page report. I got cut off while I was downloading their data so unfortunately there will be incomplete information
Lately, my nights have been consumed by this. I’ve always been into conspiracy theory rabbit holes and trying to debunk them, but it’s so much different since I got all of this government data. The stakes are so high and real and staring me in the face. My latest find of existential proportions hints to the existence of something called Avalon. This isn’t just another conspiracy to debunk or system to poke at. It feels like standing on the edge of a massive drop, and knowing the only way forward is down.
Makes me feel that its even more important to have you and others like you with me for this. I’ve only told two of my IRL friends about this and I’m probably being a full blown shut in to them. It feels lonely right now, and I don’t want the fear to get in the way of truly making something happen with this information.
You might be curious about the name, F4CE. Maybe one of these nights, I’ll tell you the whole story. But for now, let’s just say it’s a nod to my first dive into the worlds of hidden truths.
And because I can’t help myself—my latest pizza review.
I’m taste testing and writing descriptions for a bunch of pizzas at work for the Pandora Twins. The best ones will get rolled out as menu mainstays or specials. I figured I’d share it here since all you 4gents of kh4os are pizza loving degens.
The Mythos Supreme: A wild culinary ride topped with ambrosial ingredients rumored to have been Zeus’s favorites: olives, feta cheese, wild mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes, with a white sauce all on a bed of spinach with a Herculean garlic crust. The umami of the mushrooms just hits perfectly with the tart from the tomato and creamy feta. I tend to not like when pizza is OVERLOADED with toppings, but this was the perfect decadent number for me. Not to be missed by mortals seeking a taste of the divine.
4.8/5

Digging through this mountain of data is no sprint; it’s a marathon. Patience is key. I know this is gonna pay off.
Here’s the first interesting thing I’ve come across. “beyond current human technology”?? and Fuller Park, could that be the trainyard?
Stay sharp, stay curious, and stay tuned.

Hi there, F4CE here. I’ll be your unconventional herald from the shadows of cyberspace this evening.
Picture this: just a regular day in the life, delivering pizzas with a side order of nihilism, when bam, I hit the jackpot. Not in cash, but something way juicier… You’re now speaking to the proud owner of the MOTHER LODE of encrypted data from some serious gov Agency folks. My trusty USB gadget W3AV3R did the heavy lifting, and we’re now sitting on a goldmine of secrets. This is the type of shit that could shake the very foundations and help people see the insanity of what we’re spoon-fed as “truth”.
But here’s the twist, folks – this gig is turning out to be way bigger than I thought. I’m talking about revelations that could flip the script on what even you thought you knew about the powers-that-be. So, I’m doing what any self-respecting hacker with a hint of anarchy in his blood would do – I’m starting a website to spill the beans, image by shocking image, secret by secret.
Now, to the creepy part. Ever since I cracked open this digital Pandora’s box, I’ve been plagued by this bizarre, uncanny pop-up. I assumed it was malware at first. I’ve tried a system restore, custom scripting, sandboxing, etc to no avail. No matter what I try, it still finds me. It’s like it’s trying to tell me something? Or someone’s trying to threaten or fuck with me. Either way, it’s working. Check out the video I attached and tell me that’s not messed up.
This is where you come in! I’m trying to round up some “4gents of kh4os” to the front lines. This isn’t a one-man show; it’s a collective deep dive into the abyss to see what’s really going on behind those closed doors. Whether you’re in it for the thrill, the truth, or maybe looking to score some of this hot data, there’s room for you in this quest. Or maybe you’re just as curious and fed up with being kept in the dark as I am? You’re all welcome. Together, we might just make something happen.
Keep an eye out for classified document leaks. I’ll be updating this blog and my Twitter often. This is my first time as a “blogger” so we’ll be learning together.
Stay sharp, stay curious, and remember—the only thing more powerful than a secret is the truth.
Catch ya in the kh4os!
