First, let’s recap:
- Scenario 1: 8/30 (daily notes). Declan Astor heads in to his second day on the job as a bird keeper. Unfortunately, after going to an OPIG test, he completely forgets the rules of interacting with the birds, leading to him being mauled and killed by a Masked Grouse
- Scenario 2: Unclear date, 1975. Atharv Reddy has to swap acts when his first choice is made unfeasible. Surprisingly, he does an excellent dance and wins
- Scenario 3: Shortly before scenario 3. Moumaati watches Atharv dance and is shocked to see that he’s doing a Spieldance, an ancient Lemurian dance that takes months to learn
- Scenario 4: 9/21/75, (messaging machine). Sonny Spencer is threatened that he will be killed if he antagonizes his tenants again on 9/18. However, he goes in for an experiment on 9/20 and loses his memories of being warned, so he antagonizes the person who wants him dead again. Tenant Lavona Colms receives his memories and tries to intervene, but is too late. Unrelated, the Knox household goes to the same experiment.
New Evidence:
- Subject 37 did not return for his follow up leaving a data disc irrelevant to the research team
- Jack Nowak identifies the time frame setting for various lens. Doughnut button refers to 1 minute. A day, 3 days, and a month are also mentioned
- A group of discs. One is tagged as 37 and another is tagged as useless
- Outcomes for a trail. Subject numbers are corresponded to ages, sex, hair color, and height. Several didn’t follow up and one needed parental consent
Hints:
- Those seals have the same shape and light as the Lemurian seal bought in the action. They must be Lemurian artifacts
- We have 6 wrist bands (Declan, Atharv, Sonny, Sabrina, Jane, and Lavona), but we have 8 slots for transfers. The reaminder have to come from the disc
- The runes on the wristbands are written similar to the idol instructions. In the past, they’ve been Action Subject Element. The first symbol is the same Give and Take as last chapter, but the middle and end are up to you to figure out
- Declan has half moon dot for his middle, as do Sabrina and Jane. Atharv has square dot. Sonny and Lavona have half moon triangle
- The useless information disk has 4 times as much as 37’s memories. It must have a larger quantity of memory on it.
- We know two people who wouldn’t return for a follow up, as they’ve died
- The subject list has no repeats on gender and hair color, except for brown haired women and bald men. If we were trying to ID someone who had a double, we’re going to have to go to height or some other attribute
- We know from the time note that the circle dot, “the doughut”, represents a minute, so we can assume that the other middle runes represent quantities of time
