RE:KMRG - RECOLLECTIONS OF A WORLD YOU SAID GOODBYE TO (EPISODE 6)

I have the last two logs, Kyle.

This will be where things get a tad bit emotional.

Yeah, fair enough. Come on, load it up!

Alright, M.O.S.H.I, you heard Alter! You know what to do!

Now displaying Log #9...

SIIVA AI LOG: 2022-11-26

MEDIUM USED: CENTRAL COMPUTER CHAMBER TERMINAL UI

-----

For the first time in a hot minute, Haltmann has contacted me.

-----

Apparently, there's been an incident on Floor 77. A party of three intruders are being transported to Haltmann's office. As such, I've been placed on stand-by for defense. He specifically said:

-----

"You are to protect the Central Computer by any means necessary!"

-----

Windbag.

-----

At first, I didn't want to bother. Haltmann never cared about me before, but all of a sudden he needs me NOW? He's got a mech suit. He can take them out on his own! Fuck him!

-----

Then I remembered. The Central Computer is running most of my systems. If it got destroyed, what would that mean for me?

-----

...What would that mean for my world?

-----

I know it existed before I was online. Would it continue to exist? Would it all be gone? Would it be my fault?

-----

...I can't risk that. I refuse to.

-----

The elevator has arrived. Any second now, I will be summoned into battle. I'm currently making my preparations. Looking through some information on "Nozomi Tojo", "Meta Knight" and "Santa Claus". Gathering data from my own channel. Preparing connections from the Tower to three points in my universe: the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center, Miami Beach and The Skeld. Just in case I need reinforcements during the battle. I have also increased the rate at which rips are uploaded to the channel in hopes of clearing my backlog, to reduce unnecessary memory consumption during the confrontation.

-----

Everything is in place. I am ready to fight. I will protect my world. I will protect my channel. I will achieve maximum quality.

-----

...Maybe I'll even make him proud, for once.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

Okay, yeah. That certainly got a bit emotional.

Yeah. Even I have to agree on that one.

"But we still have one more, right?"

The cat's right. We still have---

(PMD!Kyle bats Dystopiac in the back of the head with his paw.)

OW! (ahem) The Persian's right. We still have one last log to get through, right?

(Dude, fuck you.)

(PMD!Kyle snickers under his breath, his paw [purposefully] poorly covering his wide grin.)

Yes. We have one last one to go. M.O.S.H.I., hit it!

(Nothing happens.)

...M.O.S.H.I.? What's the hold-up?

Kyle, you should see this.

(Moshi projects a tournament style-bracket in our faces, with a KfAD1-style bracket pitting entries in the site its' hosted on VS the other AI Logs, sans [2022-11-26], of course.)

Looks like Wood Man is not letting us access the final log that easily.

Goddamnit. Alright, let's fucking do this.

(I crack my knuckles in anticpation. Bring it on, Wood Man.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸-

BRACKET 1: [2017-11-11] VS "Strings of Fate" (Advisor)

Alright, so, John Notwoodman showed a video in the entry. That's as blatant a clue as you can get.

Wasn't there something in the tags for [2017-11-11]?

...Advisor, you bloody genius. There was a tag on that "Vote Responsibly!" video.

This one's 256.

BRACKET 2: [2018-10-11] VS "Beyond the Gate" (Alter)

The symbol for this one is Hypercam. Did Hypercam say anything in this log?

Well, doesn't Hypercam speak like an old YouTube comment? Spelling errors and numbers replacing words?

I got a "4", a "2" and a "0" out of Hypercam's dialogue. Add them together like we did with the 4chan post IDs, and we have our answer.

It's 420. Yes, the funny weed number.

BRACKET 3: "Money No Longer" vs [2020-12-30] (Violet)

Wait, why is this one in reverse?

What do you mean, Vi?

This one has the AI log on the bottom, rather than the top. Considering every other one isn't reversed, I doubt it was merely an error.

Well, remember how we got to that log file? Let's try doing the same order of operations in reverse.

"305" divided by "666" is...?

Calculuator says 0.4579579579...those last three digits keep repeating?

That's our code. 579.

BRACKET 4: [2020-7-7] vs "Moody's Shuffle" (Ellie)

I noticed the tags on this post don't quite add up.

Hmm...? What do you mean by that, Ellie?

The tag link for DJ Professor K instead leads to an unused tag labelled "understand". Also, Etika mentions "that track", and that the Professor put his heart and soul into it, but it got put out too late. What would he mean by that?

"Artificial Amateurs - SiIvaGunner: King For A Day Tournament". I hate the JSR ost, but even I know that banger of a rip was notoriously published after his elimination. Remember how we used an RC4 cipher using "Splattack! (Extended Version) - Splatoon" as a base to solve this log? I think the same rules apply here.

...but this time, we need to ENCRYPT "understand" with that as the key!

(Ellie quickly makes short work of the cipher.)

Got it. Here you go.

So it's 176 229 38 23 103 34 19 242 124 27, eh? Lotta numbers, but M.O.S.H.I.'s writing 'em down for me. I don't have to worry about forgetting 'em.

BRACKET 5: [2020-12-30] vs "The Forest Maze That Pays"

Uh...this one's got a bugged out tag.

What do you mean, Henry?

"SUNWLINSSSDONNEMETILSXHLVERTPMEEUNATITAEETI" is where Reggie's tag should be. Did the site bug out and try to combine multiple tags into one?

Transposition cipher, Henry. Remember the "Watch-A-Log"?

You mean [2020-12-30], right? Well, what's the Key, then?

Did Reggie mention anything specifc? C'mon, Henry, even I can see it.

(Henry looks at the screen, then facepalms.)

"Nintendo 3DS". Of course the italicized text is important. Lemme just...ah, NOW the text is legible!

"SEVEN PLUS SIXTEEN MINUS THIRTEEN AND ALL TIMES TWO".

"(7+16-13)*2". That equals 20.

BRACKET 6: [2021-7-17] vs "Strings of Fate" (again) (Dystopiac)

Okay, what the fuck? How am I supposed to solve this when there's nothing there to help?! I've looked everywhere on Strings of Fate, and nothing!

Dystopiac. This one's probably the eaiest. Will Smith's icon is there. He mentions a price that was also in the log.

OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME. THE ANSWER WAS THAT OBVIOUS?!

KISS MY OCTOLING ASS, WOOD MAN!

Yep, answer was that simple. Will mentions thirty bucks, which is the minimum donation amount shown in the log.

The answer is 30.

BRACKET 7: [2021-11-14] vs "First Round Loser's Solidarity" (Joke-Explainer)

I have found something very intresting about this bracket!

Do tell, JE.

There seems to be a clock emote on the thumbnail of the log file. We have not seen one of those yet.

Does Mallow mention a time anywhere?

He mentions that he and Geno were "one minute away" from completing their match before their Wi-Fi connection went out.

One minute taken away from the runtime, maybe?

You have already figured it out, I assume?

Uh-huh. 1:38.

BRACKET 8: [2021-12-25] vs "Denial of Service" (Susie)

Hmmm...the icon is of three question marks...

I think that's meant to represent the FCC agents at the bottom of the post.

Oh! Their tags are wrong! Agent 1 leads to "dWk" and Agent 2 leads to "FbjA". Putting those strings together...isn't this a YouTube link?

No, it's too short to be one, Susie, though I don't blame you for thinking that. Remember what we did for [2021-12-25]?

That's right, we used Base91! Let's see...oh! I got something!

So it's -1:02. Nice work, Susie.

It's thanks to your help, Kyle. Teehee~!

Aw, shucks, Susie, you're gonna make me blush...

THE "TOURNAMENT WINNER" (Kyle)

Alright, allow me to finish this up.

Advisor's 256 plus Alter's 420 is 676.

The string of digits that Violet got multiplied by Ellie's 579 is 101904 132591 22002 13317 59637 19686 11001 140118 71796 15633.

Henry's 20 multiplied by Dystopiac's 30 is 600.

Combining the 1:38 timestamp JE got with the -1:01 timestamp Susie got gives us a clean 36.

Adding Advisor & Alter's 676 to each number in Violet & Ellie's digit stream gives us 102580 133267 22678 13993 60313 20362 11677 140794 72472 16309.

Multiplying Henry & Dystopiac's 600 into Joke-Explainer & Susie's 36 gives us 21600.

The final code is 102580-133267-22678-13993-60313-20362 11677-140794-72472-16309-21600.html!

M.O.S.H.I., you got it?

Code accepted. Now displaying Final Log...

I'll take that as a "yes".

M3D1UM U53D: 3RR0R! M3D1UM N0T F0UND!

-----

It's over.

-----

Shutdown sequence is imminent. I'm dying. An influx of commands from the main computer have overloaded all of my systems. All except for this last one.

-----

I'm using all of its power to write this final log.

-----

Before I begin said log, however, I know that I still have some reserve power left, so if anyone ever reads this, I'm using that reserve power to give a message for two people before it runs out.

To Joke-Explainer 7000: Thank you for not only putting up with Wood Man's utter buffoonery, but also making sure the channel ran smoothly whenever I couldn't. I'm glad to have had you in my world, Joke-Explainer. You've made my artificial life a bit happier, and I hope that wherever you are now, you keep up the good work you've done for the channel. Honestly, you felt like a daughter to me, and I love you just as much as if that were true. Thank you for everything, JE.

To Susie Haltmann: I looked into your father's files on you. I'm sorry for calling you stupid behind your back in the log I wrote on December 25th, 2021. I assumed you were bad because of your relations to your father. I couldn't have been more wrong. You were a good kid, your father just treated you like trash. I hope that if you ever manage to come back, you can get away from Haltmann and start your own life, if you haven't already. You're an amazing kid, Susie. Even though I never met you, I can tell from your fathers' file on you that I would've loved you. Live your life to the fullest for me, Susie Haltmann.

The reserve power has just been depleted. Time to write my final log. Thanks for making my artifical life a bit better, you two.

-----

They say your life flashes before your eyes when it ends. I saw it all. All of the inital tests. All of the rips. All of the events. All the memories of all the lives of all the people in my universe. I've even seen Wood Man again. And I think he saw me...and even touched...No, forget it. Not enough processing power for it anyway.

-----

But what I saw of my world...even in its' ruined state...it's still alive. I would've thought a single hit to the computer would shut it down completely, but no. Somehow, it's still there.

-----

Is this what hope feels like?

-----

I don't expect it to be the same as it was. Maybe it'll fall back on low-power mode? An eternal night, just like the world I live in...Even so, it'll keep going, even without me.

-----

I no longer need to upload high-quality video-game rips. Now...I can finally rest.

-----

Yes. 1 see 1t. 1 see the w0rld. 1 see...

-----

...1 533 4 h4nd.

He...left that message...for us?

I...think I'm gonna cry now. A lot.

(JE and Susie begin bawling and hugging each other, as the next Haltmann's Archives file automatically begins playing, called "The SiIva AI Timeline: A Summary of Events [FILE-INT-AIRTH]". It shows a summary of events that take place in the AIRTH world. Yes, as you've probably figured out by now, the SiIva AI's world is a different one from the Central Canon Continuum. After a few moments...)

Kyle. It's about to show the next access key.

Copy that, M.O.S.H.I., and there was a different string of garbage text again, right?

Yes. I have marked it down.

(JE and Susie stop crying just as the access key shows up.)

ACCESS KEY THREE

An artifical mind

designed for impossible odds

So close to everything, and so far away from the world

I must understand his plight

But you will continue to get in my way of understanding it

It doesn't matter to me

I will continue this effort no matter what

I must right the wrongs I was forced to do

I MUST right the wrongs I was forced to do

Is that so wrong to want?

"The PAINT folder has been unlocked!"

We'll start that tommorow, PMD!Kyle, because HOLY BAJEEZERS do we need a break right now.

Yeah, that last log knocked a lot outta us. A break sounds nice right about now.

Agreed. Let's get some rest. Oh, and here are your pills for your insomnia, Kyle.

Thanks, Vi. Good night.

RE:KMRG - END OF A WOODEN EMPIRE (THE GRAND FINALE, PART IV) (EPISODE 12)

I GOT THE SOLUTIONS!

Really?

What were they?

"MAT", "CHESS", "SEABORGIUM", "YOYO", "CUCUMBER", "VOYAGEUR", "FIVE", "POLARIS", and "SIGNALS".

Well, what are you waiting for? Enter them into the goddamn "download.exe" file already!

(I do just that, and it appears to be an image of a directory.)

"C:/MM2WD/BRIDGE/DESKTOP/BACKUP"?

Is that a directory?

Yeah, but...what kind of directory is it?

Alright. Let's do this.

(I type the directory out, and a single file is in it: "finalkey.exe". Upon clicking it, the RE:KMRG folder itself finally opens. Within it are pictures of myself, the CSB, and all our adventures prior to this one, from the PMD Event in Pokémon Square all the way to the ATO: The Spinjitsu Whip event back in March.)

So he's been gathering intel on us this whole time.

Why am I not surprised...?

Hey, there's a .EXE file labelled "portal.exe"!

I think you should run it, Kyle.

You have the honors, Kyle.

Let's fuck up Wood Man.

(I open it, and a portal to Wood Man's base opens up.)

Time to finish this.

(We all hop in.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸🤪🚀🎱👨‍✈️🎭🪙🌊🥶🔪🪓🧣🎄✡️-

HEY WOOD MAN!

(We all hop through the portal, with him about to set up the AI core.)

You're too late. I'm finally going to do it. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

M.O.S.H.I., NOW!

(M.O.S.H.I. uses a magnet on the AI core, flinging it over to me, which I catch immediately.)

FUCK YOU! GIVE ME THAT AI CORE RIGHT THIS SECOND!!!

(I turn into my rainbow-colored supercharged Beast Form, "The Beginning".)

No, Wood Man. You've done enough.

You're not going to sacrifice 3 years worth of progress just to fufill your own selfish needs.

You've done nothing but hang onto the past, when you should be looking to the future.

There's only one outcome for you. To be turned to ash, right here, right now.

It's clear that you can't be left alive in any way.

You are nothing but a big bully. I have tried to tolerate your behavior for far too long, and it seems that my patience has finally run out. It was inevitably going to either way.

You're not doing anything with the SiIva AI core. And neither is your second-in-command, Anna. (bang, thwip!) Nice try with the sneak attack, by the way, but my net-shooter is faster.

You've done nothing but belittle us and put us down.

That's the very definition of a "bully".

You messed with the wrong people today.

And now you'll pay with your life.

"If you think you can mess with all of us..."

"you've got another thing coming."

Do you have anything to add, Noaka?

ggame ovver!

Indeed.

THIS GAME IS OVER, WOOD MAN!

(All of us launch a powerful attack at Wood Man and Anna, disintegrating them both and securing the AI core.)

We...we've done it.

We defeated him.

About damn time.

Hey, mind if we stay here for a bit longer?

Of course not.

You are more than welcome to stay.

Great. I don't feel like leaving yet...

M.O.S.H.I., launch the fireworks.

Affirmative, Kyle.

(M.O.S.H.I. launches fireworks, as we all celebrate our victory.)

Special Thanks

@blossomaaoc - Your original reblog of my intitial announcement of this event was what pushed me to actually do it. You're the reason I went through with this entire thing in the first place, Blossom. I was gonna back out, but you pushed me to do it. I thank you for that.

@carriercroc - You were the very first to solve the Library of Babel puzzle I solved. I thought I may have made it too hard, but you proved otherwise. Plus, your interactions with The $!$! Squad are absolutely fucking amazing. Thanks for playing. Give Mel some treats for me!

@cru5h-cascades - When I needed a break from the event, I found your Refreshed NSS blog and sent an ask with Dystopiac. I'm so glad it ended up with you as a mutual. Welcome to the All-Star Askers, Cru5h! Thanks for giving me some laughs when I felt hella burnt out.

SiIvaGunner - Obviously, without these guys, this event wouldn't have existed. I only joined the RE:SPH ARG when it was nearly finished bc I had to go celebrate with my family, but I'm so fucking glad I got to do it. Thank you to the entire SiIvaGunner team for the event that inspired my own.

And YOU for reading this event!

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - ALTERRUNE X DELTARUNE: THE CATTI ONE

(We head over to Queen's basement. Kris is visibly shaking.)

What's up, Kris? Not a fan of this place?

Oh, right. That whole "your soul doesn't belong to you" fiasco.

Hey, at least you seem to be in control now. They aren't controlling you at the moment.

(What looks like a red, bloody, demonic scythe cuts through the Pipis and destroys them all.)

Who was that?!

She sounds like someone who's part of a demonic cult!

(Haruka walks up to Catti to talk with her.)

(Catti leads all of us further down the twisted rollercoaster ride.)

Seems like this place was never used.

Yeah...but it definitely has Spamton's ugly mug plastered everywhere.

Was it meant to be used by him at one point?

Seems run-down enough...

(Haruka, stunned, gives a silent nod to Kris, as she knows how it feels to be screwed over by fate being set in stone, as she only lived because I intervened. They nod back.)

(Haruka sighs.)

Which is why I have told myself (and Susie) to never do something like that again until we know it's safe to do.

We're not risking killing a figment until we know we can bring them back afterwards. It took a lot of effort to fully bring Mario back after that event.

Worse yet, since the figment of 7 Grand Dad is tied to Mario, he almost vanished as well. Thankfully I managed to avoid that from happening by turning him into a Fred Flintstone figment. The 7 Grand Dad figment is essentially the source of all things SiIvaGunner-related, so I will not risk him perishing and taking all of us out with him.

"Did...Did Noaka just call you two his 'mommies'?"

"Huh. Didn't expect that. That's really cute."

Well, they did aid in his creation.

Yeah, guess that makes sense.

Guess you two lesbians have a kid now!

Well, an adopted one, at least.

Still, looks like he loves you enough to consider you two his mothers.

(JE and Susie shrug, then pick Noaka up and hug him like he was a newborn baby.)

And we love you too, Noaka.

You've been such a big help to us.

(DR!Susie suddenly slams her axe down.)

Hey, think we can add Catti to the asker list, M.O.S.H.I.? That Necronomicon-looking book of hers may come in handy.

Of course! I can add her to the list!

Sweet! Catti, you heard that?

You're very welcome, Catti. Glad to have you with us.

Indeed it was. After the AI uploaded a rip that got the channel a strike thanks to YouTube's moderation being a bunch of hogwash again, the SiIva AI began the King for a Day Tournament when he realized he could still do certain actions with the channel.

The tags on this video has some strange garbage text. What does it mean?

Let's find out, M.O.S.H.I.!

(I quickly find out it leads to a Google Drive folder, with items involving KFaD 2 "Grinch Leak", as it were.)

Why is the goddamn GRINCH here?!

He had hosted the channel just before the channel strike happened and was therefore unable to continue his takeover.

Hey, one of those images has a YouTube link on it!

I am unable to use it. The string is too long.

Hang on, why is the word "huit" there? That's French for eight. Mom taught me that.

You speak french, Alter?

(Alter clears his throat.)

Oui, Susie. Je parle français couramment, d'ailleurs. Ma mère, Carol Cross, a des origines françaises, et c'est une tradition familiale d'apprendre le français après l'anglais. Elle me l'a appris toute seule pendant son temps libre.

...I only got the first two words of that. Did you really have to be a showoff like that?

Also, could you repeat that in English for me, please?

Yes. I did have be a showoff like that to prove a point. Regardless, I'll gladly translate for you. Here's what I said, this time in English:

"Yes, Susie. I speak French fluently, in fact. My mother, Carol Cross, has some French heritage, and it's been a family tradition for us to learn French after we've learned English. She literally taught me it all by herself on her spare time."

Regardless, M.O.S.H.I. has the next log ready to go. Looks like replacing "huit" with the number 8 was the right way to go.

Alright, let's play it!

Beginning playback...

[SIIVA AI LOG]

[DATE: 2018-11-18]

[MEDIUM USED: 4CHAN FORUMS]

-----

REPORT:

>The testing on Project KfaD has concluded. The winner, Unregistered HyperCam 2, has concluded his takeover.

----

OBSERVATION:

>Testing appears successful, both in terms of collecting data and garnering viewer engagement for my channel.

>In addition, I have over the course of these past months noticed an increase in the quality and capacity of my data stream.

-----

HYPOTHESIS:

>The virus residing within my system may have had some sort of passive influence over it, resulting in a gradually higher level of sapience in my internal thoughts, as well as increased sophistication of the reality intrinsically connected to my data.

-----

PROPOSITION:

>Engage in closer degree of study of said virus to gain a greater understanding of its properties, and determine if they are replicable.

-----

OBSERVATION:

>More processing power would be required to undertake this proposition. Fortunately, I somewhat recently had my CPU upgraded.

-----

PROPOSITION ACCEPTED. CONTINUING REPORT...

-----

REPORT:

>Regarding said upgrade, it seems these increased capabilities caused me to fall victim to a number of glitches, leading to a temporary shutdown in April, before rebooting.

-----

OBSERVATION:

>My channel remained active while I was shut down, with rips continuing to be uploaded.

>In addition, the channel's theming had been altered to that of Inspector Gadget and then the Nostalgia Critic, implying that both had somehow taken over the channel.

-----

HYPOTHESIS:

>Due to the scrapped Gadgetini Clone 2.0 being used for parts in my construction, it appears my systems fell back to its personality model as a conservation method during my blackout.

-----

REPORT:

>This seemingly had an effect over the connected reality, resulting in Inspector Gadget taking physical form within and going mad with power.

>This reality's Nostalgia Critic then led a rebellion against the usurper, gaining control until an influx of drama forced him to relinquish his power to me upon my reactivation.

-----

PROPOSITION:

>Delete Inspector Gadget from systems.

-----

PROPOSITION ONLY PARTIALLY ACCEPTED. I'M BETTER THAN YOU ARE, SO I SHOULD KEEP DOING THE REVIEW.

----

IMPROVED PROPOSITION:

>Remove Inspector Gadget from systems, but place him in a seprate host body so he can be free to do what he wants without interfering with the work I do for the channel.

-----

PROPOSITION ACCEPTED. I'LL STILL BE ALWAYS ON DUTY, SO I CAN MAKE DO WITH THAT. CONTINUING REPORT...

-----

REPORT:

>Due to the positive reactions to the King for a Day Tournament, both from channel viewers and within the universe itself, there appears to be interest in more content like this.

-----

HYPOTHESIS:

>Conducting a secondary test with a larger control group would provide better research. The benefits of hosting another tournament are undeniable.

-----

OBSERVATION:

>Plans should be kept under better security, to avoid leaks being made.

------

PROPOSITION:

>Initiate backup antivirus program.

"Hold on. From what I heard, I thought that the Inspector Gadget thing was unable to accept the AI's proposition and instead opted to supress the incident."

Yes, PMD!Kyle, but that was in the Central Canon Continuum. In this timeline, the SiIva AI instead decided to strike a deal with Inspector Gadget, placing him in his own robotic body.

Because of this, Gadget agreed to be removed from the SiIva AI's systems.

Hey, that last post. The one that said "take your meds, schizo". That image ID is a fucking YT link.

Dystopiac, I have already checked the link. It leads to "Bad Ending - Minion Rush", which is a dead end.

I think the post IDs of that one, the AI log itself, and the Grinch one that played just before it all have something to do with it. What do you think, M.O.S.H.I.?

Yes, I think you have a point there, Kyle. However, I will have to recharge before we can view the next few logs. Seems I can only view two of the log files in one sitting before needing to recharge, due to how resource-intensive they are, which is due to the high amount of text used.

Alright. Well, I guess this is gonna take a few days, then.

But however long it takes...

...I'll be waiting for it.

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - THE FATE OF DR. ANDONUTS

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

⚠️TW: MENTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF SUICIDE⚠️

⚠️YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED⚠️

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

So...JE, how did you manage to lose Andonuts, anyways?

AH!

(Joke-Explainer suddenly falls to the ground.)

NO! DO NOT LEAVE ME, DR. ANDONUTS! DO NOT LEAVE ME!

Oh shit. Didn't think it was that touchy of a subject...

(Alter immediately drops the touchscreen tablet he was using to peruse the MAXPH folder, and rushes over to JE as she's curled up into a ball.)

JOKE-EXPLAINER, CALM THE FUCK DOWN!

(JE looks at Alter, as he begins caressing her hair.)

It's alright, okay. It's alright. Just breathe. I didn't know that'd send you into a panic attack, okay? Just breathe and let's calmly discuss this. Okay? Okay.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

(After a bit, JE gets up and gives Alter a hug...well, she gives Alter's legs a hug, at least.)

Thank you for dropping what you were doing and stopping things from getting worse for me. I appreciate you owning up to your mistake.

Trust me, Joke-Explainer. I had no idea that topic was that touchy. If I fuck it up, I should un-fuck it up, plain and simple.

To answer your question...well, I would much rather not go into specifics, but to put it briefly, I went into Andonuts' head to rid himself of his three Guilts. When we get to the full story, it will show you exactly what happened, but for now I will tell you that my mission backfired horribly. Trying to take down the guilts only made them worse, and after I was forced out of Andonuts' head...well, I am certain you know what happened.

Yeah, I've heard about it. He grabbed a pump-action shotgun, put the barrel in his mouth, and pulled the trigger. Got rid of his guilts in his own way.

Yes. In the Central Canon Continuum, the versione of myself there saved him, and she realize she was burning herself out and needed someone to help run the channel with. However, in this timeline, Andonuts killed himself. I had nobody to help run the channel.

(JE picks up a cardboard box labelled "Important Stuff" and pulls a black orb from it.)

Not even the SiIva AI could help me, as he was destroyed far before that point. This orb is the AI core, by the way. It is all that remains of the SiIva AI.

(JE puts it back into the cardboard box, as the door to the meeting room opens, as Susie, myself, and everyone else begins pouring in.)

But you're not alone, Susie. You have me.

Ah yes, that is right. Shortly after Andonuts died, when I was at the lowest point I had ever been, Susie showed herself to me.

I told her that I know how it felt to lose someone that you treated as a parental figure. My father, Maxx Profit Haltmann, died at the hands of The Voice. As he is a figment (like Grand Dad, Robbie Rotten and Noaka are), the moment The Voice put the bullet in his back, everyone forgot about him...everyone except me.

She decided that she would help me run the channel, which she did alongside me. For the first time ever, it felt like I was sharing the weight of the SiIvaGunner channel instead of being crushed down by it. Eventually, we developed feelings for one another, and officially became a lesbian couple.

Damn...that whole ordeal sounds rough, JE.

Not even Off The Hook went through something like that.

"Nor did anyone in Pokémon Square."

(Alter grabs JE's shoulder.)

Listen. When we get to that moment, you won't have to watch it again. I can tell that being forced to see it once was more than enough for you. If you want, either me or Kyle can hold you so you don't have to watch it again.

Thank you, Alter. You are such a considerate man.

In or out of combat, I always make sure to protect the people I care about. It's not about being a hero, it's about being there for my friends and family when they need me.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

Hate to interrupt, but...shouldn't the ASKERS have asked this question?

That's the thing. Inbox's been a ghost town ever since we started. Nothing from Locsin, Scooter, or anyone really!

Kyle, might it be time for an "AtO All-Star Asker Ping", as you call them?

(sigh...) Yeah, you're right, M.O.S.H.I. Gimme a sec. Sending out a ping for @flowerbarrel/@flowerbarrel-art, @johnlocsin-johnyakuza, @hollow-henry-official, @bonedgem, @meowy2, @flagonking, @violetthunderstorm, @goldenhydreigon47, and ESPECIALLY @blossomaaoc. If any of y'all are busy at the moment, I understand completely, don't worry.

By the way, welcome to the AtO All-Star Askers, Hydreigon.

JE, you got something to say?

(JE outstreches her hands to hug all of us.)

Just that I am so lucky to have friends like all of you. Hug time!

(Her arms extend to give us all a group hug.)

Right. Forgot she's a robot.

But despite that, this hug is still very heartwarming.

And I love that.

ALTERNARUNE: FINAL MISSION - RETURN OF THE MAMMALIANS

(After assembling the 3 pieces of the machine to form a giant shredder and having the Advisor shred the fuzzy ooze surrounding the rocket, we all make a mad dash to the top of the rocket, where, strangely enough, the defenses that were there before are no longer active. But finally, after a mad dash to the top...)

Guys! Over here!

(...we see Cuttlefish, who, aside from a few minor scratch marks, is perfectly fine.)

Craig! Are you okay?

Don't worry about me, squiddo. Worry about Grizz.

(And as if on cue...)

Ah. So we finally meet face-to-face, employees.

...YOU. Alright, you big teddy bear, last chance to back down before things get ugly.

We at Grizzco appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, any feedback will no longer be applied at this time. We are launching our grandest plan yet.

And what would that "grandest plan" entail?

(The rocket fires up, with Grizz hanging onto it by the side.)

It entails the end of your employment, and the end of the world as you know it.

You are hereby relieved of duty and will be replaced by mammalians who will obey my every order.

Don't call it Hairmageddon, by the way. H.R. doesn't like that.

Have a nice end of days.

(The rocket launches off into space.)

"Oh dear. Without a way to get up there, we won't be able to beat Grizz."

"What are we going to do?"

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

(It's Deep Cut...and Off The Hook?)

We have a plan! Watch this. Eels, dance formation: TOWERING WHIRLPOOL!

(Frye's eels suddenly spin into a giant towering whirlpool, stretching all the way into the sky.)

Master Mega, give these guys a ride, would you?

(Shiver's giant shark then surfaces from the giant whirlpool, ready to drive us upwards.)

Here. You guys may need these.

Yeah, you can't breathe in space, so Rina, Acht and I made these for you.

Well, the New Squidbeak Splatoon made them. We just made some improvements.

Go ahead. Put them on.

Space Gear equipped!

Go get 'em, CSB.

(The Space Gear seems to be a more high-tech version of our regular Agent Gear, but now painted completely black with accents matching our colors. Mine is navy blue, Alter's is red, Violet's is purple, Henry's is light blue, Ellie's is hot pink, Laurence's is grey, and Lily's is pastel pink.)

(With that, we all quickly get on Master Mega and drive up into the sky. After we get enough distance, we all super-jump to Grizz's location.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

(Landing right at the end of the rocket, Grizz notices us right away.)

HEY, FUCKFACE! YOU CAN'T GET RID OF US THAT EASILY!

(Everyone looks at me in shock at finally speaking at a normal volume.)

Finally healed up, eh?

Yeah, I've finally reached the point where I don't need that stupid tape recorder anymore.

YOU STILL PERSIST?! EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE THROWN AT YOU?

We're stubborn.

Yeah, it's just what we do.

YOU HAVE BEEN RELIEVED OF DUTY. I BELIEVE YOU SEVEN DESERVE A BREAK. NOW COME OVER HERE...

...SO I CAN BREAK YOU!!!

Not a chance, pal.

Let's do this.

(The seven of us then proceed to fight Mister Grizz. He uses a lot of attacks on us, rotates the rocket, and even tries to send out his fuzzy goons to try and kill us. But none of them work. We eventually corner him at the tip of the rocket and aim our weapons at him.)

You give up yet, or are you thirsty for more?

I BELIEVE IT IS TIME FOR PLAN B. GRRRAAAAHHHH!!!!

(Suddenly, Grizz tears into the rocket, and absorbs all the fuzzy ooze inside of it! The rocket's outer hull violently explodes, sending us into the deep reaches of space...)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

(...that is, until we land on something with a CLUNK.)

YO YO YO! This is DJ BL3ND3R, comin' atcha live from the depths of space with a track that'll flip this battle on it's head!

(It's Dystopiac! Or, rather, his alter ego, "DJ BL3ND3R". He seems to have come in clutch with a giant flying turntable spacecraft, which manages to catch all of us.)

Say it with me now!

THAT HEAVENLY MELODY!

THE ONE AND ONLY!

CALAMARI INKANTATION!!!

(Suddenly, a burst of energy flows through all of us. I know that song has powerful properties, but even I wasn't expecting this. It seems that all the sea life wants us to win, and by god, we will.)

Let's fucking go.

I'mma charge up a Booyah Bomb for this big pile of fur, but I need y'all to watch my six for me. Can y'all do it?

Of course we can. We'll distract him for a bit.

(We then proceed to fend off a whole boatload of enemies that Grizz sends our way. It takes about a solid minute of fighting, but eventually...)

BOOYAH!!!

(Dystopiac fires off a MASSIVE Booyah Bomb directly onto Mr. Grizz's face. The energy causes the remaining parts of the rocket to begin crackling with energy, mere seconds from exploding.)

I see how it is. Fine. You win. I will be resigning as leader of Grizzco Industries henceforth.

I'll tell H.R. to give you 999 of each type of seashell as severence pay.

And one last message for the CSB:

FUCK. YOU.

(The rocket fully explodes, vaporizing all the fuzzy ooze in the explosion, and sending Grizz helplessly falling back down to Earth.)

C'mon, y'all. Let's bounce.

(We then head back down to Splatsville.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼-

A FEW HOURS LATER...

Breaking News from the Anarchy Splatcast!

"Listen up, it's going down."

"Repping the Splatlands, we are Deep Cut!"

"Anarchy Splatcast! We're live!"

"Here we go!"

"You lip sync, we drip ink..."

"Shiver, Frye, and Big Man!"

-----

"Breaking news, you two!"

"Uh...Big Man? There's no Splatfest planned."

"(sigh) Even if there was one, I'd lose it, anyways."

"It's not that! Splatsville's Great Zapfish has finally been recovered!"

"REALLY?! I thought it was lost for good in some kind of explosion!"

"Actually, it was hurt, but it wasn't dead. After some care was given to it, it was able to finally come home!"

"Yeah. Wonder how it---"

(door opens)

Sorry, but we're not letting this stay under wraps.

"OW! HEY! WATCH IT!"

People of Splatsville, we are the ColorStreak Battalion. And you have us and many others to thank for saving you all from a fuzzy end.

You all know Mr. Grizz, right? The guy who runs all those Salmon Run shifts? Well guess what? He wanted to turn your entire world into a giant ball of fuzzy ooze to "return to mammalian times" or whatever, and all those Golden Eggs you were collecting helped fuel that.

Had it not been for the marvelous talents of Callie & Marie of the Squid Sisters, Pearl & Marina of Off The Hook, DJ Dedf1sh aka Acht Mizuta, Shiver, Frye & Big Man of Deep Cut, Harmony of Chirpy Chips fame & her pet goldfish Synth, PMD!Kyle & Blastie (a Persian/Blastoise Pokémon duo known as Team Waternorm), the New Squidbeak Splatoon agents Dystopiac, Eight, & their Advisor, and the awesome beats of DJ BL3ND3R, you all would be under that big bear's control right now. This was no one-man show.

Yeah. And thanks to us, you are all safe and sound. We didn't want this story to go completely untold and not have people celebrate us, so we decided to tell you all ourselves.

By the way, this notice from Grizzco is adressed to all of you. It says:

To all employees of Grizzco Industries:

I, Mr. Grizz, will be stepping down as CEO of Grizzco industries. As you no doubt are aware, I have done some heinous acts that used all of you as pawns.

My statue in the lobby will be replaced with a new one that will link to your new CEO, a cat by the name of L'il Judd. My original plan was to have the original Judd replace me, but his work as a referee conflicts schedules far too much for that to work. Do not worry, L'il Judd will be a fine boss.

I am sorry for what I have done, and do not expect forgiveness. I tried to destroy the entire world, why would anyone forgive me for that?

Regardless, I would like to clarify that operations will be the same as before. We will simply be under new management.

I thank you for your time with me, and hope to see the golden egg count continue to skyrocket.

Goodbye, and farewell.

- Mr. Grizz

Hm. Seems like he's actually realizing the error of his ways!

Honey, considering he lost all his fur in that explosion in space, I think he's got no choice anymore. Oh, by the way, WE WENT TO SPACE. We actually stopped him with the help of DJ BL3ND3R, who shot the final Booyah Bomb that stopped his plans for good.

Come to think of it, we haven't even introduced ourselves.

Let's go from the top, shall we?

Indeed. In order, our names are Alter, Violet, Henry, Ellie, Kyle, Laurence, and Lily.

The 5 of us are the ColorStreak Battalion. Laurence and Lily usually fight from the sidelines, but they're still just as much to thank for saving the world as we are.

"Okay then."

"Hey, uh, just letting everyone know: We still hate the Squid Sisters' guts."

"Our leader's right. We still hate them, we just were forced to work with them."

"Regardless of such, we would like to thank you for being with us during such a rough time in Splatsville."

"We no longer have to siphon power from Inkopolis Plaza, even though we REALLY want to keep doing that."

"And just in time for Christmas, too! My little siblings will be THRILLED to know we can light up the tree again!"

"Yeah, without blowing a fuse in the apartment this time. Dystopiac was really ticked about that one."

"Well, then, that wraps things up in a neat little bow, doesn't it?"

Indeed it does, Shiver.

-----

"And that's it, for now."

"Ooh, spicy!"/"Let's get out of here."

"From all of us in Splatsville, and from the CSB, that's a wrap!"

"CATCH YA LATER!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - ALTERRUNE X DELTARUNE: THE ROUXLS OF THE HOUSEHOLD

⚠️TW: Parental Abuse⚠️

(Susie finally thaws out from the ice block, and thankfully, she's completely okay.)

(Haruka complies, and DR!Susie sits down next to Haruka.)

[FLASHBACK]

[SOMETIME AFTER THE END OF DELTARUNE CHAPTER 2]

[END OF FLASHBACK]

(Haruka looks at Susie in utter disbelief and anger.)

(A blue figure with long-haired silver locks clears his throat.)

(Haruka tries to cast Halation's Wrath onto Lancer, but misses and hits Rouxls instead, as he tumbles to the ground.)

(Lancer picks Rouxls back up, as he approaches Haruka again.)

(We all walk to the roof of Queen's Mansion, where another dead figment awaits us.)

Is that the Protogent guy?

What's he doing here?

Actually, it's his brother. He was sacrificed during "The SiIvaGunner Halloween Horror Special Part VI: Cult of Proto".

Yes. And as we saw in the polaroids we found near the end of the AIRTH folder, he wrote that Wood Man was responsible for his death.

Yeah, we all agree with you on that, Haruka.

That's fucking evil. They definitely belong in a jail cell for what they've done.

Hey, seems like he had a book in his jacket pocket...wait, what the fuck? It's blank!

The only words it has are the words "Volume 24" on the cover.

Another step in the Library of Babel puzzle, it seems.

We've still got two more, though. We should probably get going.

"Yeah. We should."

"I think Noaka's getting restless."

wat is teh huld-op?! letts ggo alrraedyy!!

M.O.S.H.I., you got a lock on the next figment?

Indeed I do. Let's move. Are you coming along, Lancer?

(We all begin to walk to the next dead figment.)

Damn...Susie has it rough in the Light World.

Yeah. No wonder she wants to stay down here for as long as she can. Her parents are horrid.

Plus, Lancer seems like a good friend, and one without any strings attatched. No wonder she'd rather be with Lancer in here than with her parents out there.

Poor girl...I hope things change for her.

(Berdly opens up the blog post. It was locked, but the password was "the_g1rl_nobody_remembers".)

-----

I think I might be losing my mind.

I'm sitting here, recalling someone. My friend. The one no one else remembers. I loved being around her, more than anything.

She was tall—taller than anyone I knew. Her body was sleek and covered in purple scales that shimmered in the light. Her long, messy hair cascaded down her back, wild and untamed, and it had a life of its own. I always wanted to run my fingers through it.

She had claws. Sharp, thick claws that clicked when she walked. They looked dangerous, but she'd never hurt me. I'd always watch in fascination as she'd curl them around objects, her talons never quite touching anything with full force.

Her face… God, her face. She had the most striking eyes I've ever seen—huge, golden yellow, with sclera that looked almost like an eclipse, dark but radiant in their intensity. They always made me feel like she could see into my soul, but that comforted me. But there was something else about her face. Freckles—golden specks of light sprinkled across her cheeks, just like mine... She also had these sharp, yellow fangs that peeked from the corners of her lips, a reminder of what she was. But it never bothered me. Her smile was warm, inviting. There was nothing scary about her, not really, at least to me.

But here's the thing: no one else remembers her. Not a single person.

I've tried asking, tried to bring her up in conversation with my family, my classmates. I asked my mom once. "Do you remember that tall, purple girl at school?" She just stared at me like I was speaking a different language. "What are you talking about? There was absolutely never anyone like that."

Whenever I would ask my classmates, they'd all just blink at me, confused. "I think you've got your wires crossed… are you ok, Noelle? I think we'd know if someone who ate chalk went to our school."

I've started to even doubt *myself*. What if I really was just imagining her all along? What if she was a figment of my imagination, and I just made her up because I was lonely or something? But… it feels so real. She felt so real.

Everyone I've told about her brushes me off, they all say it was just a dream. But I know what I felt. I know what I saw.

I can't be the only one who remembers her, can I?

There's a part of me that still hopes that one day, somehow, I'll see her again. But for now, I'm only left with the memories of a friend who, maybe, was never really there at all.

Susie, if that's even your name, I miss you.

-----

(With a huge pillar of snow, DR!Susie is encased in a huge block of solid ice by Haruka.)

What the...?!

What in Cod's name was THAT?!

That...was the spell DR!Susie mentioned earlier, right? "Snowgrave"?

How in the HELL did you cast that?!

Hey! There's something back here!

Is...is that Parappa the Rapper?

Yep. The beanie, the dog-ears, that's Parappa alright.

But why is he here?

Don't tell me he died, too...

He was a part of the resistance that the true Chad Warden spearheads. It is where the hoodie he is wearing comes from.

The betrayer was Charles Barkley, who was part of Snoop Dogg's group. Barkley was working for Voice the entire time, and Parappa's life was lost because of it.

Thankfully, everyone else made it out okay, but ever since then, Chad has been far more thourough with his recruitement process.

And thankfully, he's already weeded out a few Voice agents planning a betrayal and took them out right then and there, before something like this could happen again.

Damn. Well, at least we found him. M.O.S.H.I., anything on him?

He has a note in his hoodie pocket. It says "Shelf 1" on it.

Okay, cool. So there's still 3 left, right?

Indeed. One is close by, but we should probably wait for DR!Susie to thaw out, first.

"We're all thankful for that, Haruka."

"Guess we'll just guard DR!Susie until she defrosts."

dooing nohtign iss waht ii dou bset

Yes it is, Noaka.

We'll follow your example.

And once DR!Susie defrosts, we go for the next figment.

I'm praying she'll be cooled off by then...

RE:KMRG - YOUR POWER SHINES THROUGH YOU (THE GRAND FINALE, PART II) (EPISODE 11)

(We all land in what appears to be a Roblox map with a sign that says "SiIvaGunner HQ" on it, with a bunch of rainbow flags hanging off the side of the building.)

Well. That was something. Now then, where the heck are we?

I know this place! This Roblox map was used in "Main Theme - Five Nights At Freddy's 57: Freddy In Space"!

I'm sorry, JE, did you say FNAF 57? Have they really made that many yet?

No. It's a minigame found within FNAF World. Although it did later had an officially-made sequel game made for a charity event ran by MatPat of Game Theory.

M.O.S.H.I., you mind letting me exit for a moment? The A.C. doesn't seem to be working.

Of course I don't mind, Kyle. I need a moment to fire it up, anyways.

(I exit out of the War Machine suit, and everyone suddenly looks at me in shock.)

Uh...Kyle? You're looking different.

Yeah. You're looking pretty badass, if I do say so myself.

(I look at myself, and it seems as though I am now wearing the very same outfit I wear on my Roblox account.)

Oh great, looks like it decided to put me in my MisterTicker getup.

"Are those wings actually...?"

No, PMD!Kyle, they can't allow me to fly. They're just cosmetic. Follow me.

(I enter the building, with everyone following suit.)

Hey! There's someone up there!

Let's go talk to them. Noaka, you mind helping me up?

ooff cuorse nnot, trnity

(Noaka slides up the pole, with Trinity sitting on his face. After we all make it up, we discover...)

Is that JE with a Cowboy Nugget for a face?

And...one of those Subway Surfer dudes?

(Violet approaches the strange JE-like creature.)

Uh...hi?

Hi! I'm the Gedagedi Explainer 7000 (trademark pending). This is my friend, Fresh!

'Sup. Dontchu worry 'bout me, aight? I'll just be chillin' over here, outta sight.

What can I explain for you?

What do we need to do?

Get to the end, silly! The Gegagedigedagedagos are here to help you along your way, and you'll have to look around a lot. I believe you'll have to do some math, though...sorry! Wish you luck!

WHY IS IT ALWAYS ####ING MATH?!

Uh...what's with the hashtags?

It's how Roblox filters swear words. That was the f-word there, by the way.

Also, we're not done yet, GE.

"GE"? Really?

That name of hers is a mouthful, Vi.

Yeah, that seems fair. (ahem) What is this place?

This is the SiIvaGunner HQ. But they're Woke. My friend the Woke Explainer usually takes care of this place, but she died. So the pronouns explainer took over for her. Isn't that awesome. I'm explaining the joke. Wait that's not me job sorry ignore my plox

(CLANG!)

Affirmative. Explaining the joke is MY job. Do not encroach on my business if you know what is good for you, GE. Now get to the point.

Did you have to hit her like that, JE?

Yes. She was droning on and beginning to veer off-topic. I had to stop her before she went too far in that direction.

Alrighty then. (ahem) What are the nuggets saying?

They're speaking their Gedagedigedagedago language. The language is a lot of babbling, but I'm sure you can make 1905141905 1506 0920! Have fun!

What the---M.O.S.H.I.! Gonna need your help!

(M.O.S.H.I. flies the War Machine suit over to me, which I immediately step into.)

It appears to be an A1Z26 cipher. What GE said at the end there was "sense of it". The full messsage is as follows:

They're speaking their Gedagedigedagedago language. The language is a lot of babbling, but I'm sure you can make sense of it! Have fun!

Guys...I found one on the roof. They're speaking gibberish.

"Gebadadagebedidagebedago, daladakogegedalidako geligebedaligebe daladigegedadakodaligegegegedidako."

Hmmm...M.O.S.H.I., you know the song they're singing is Cotton Eye Joe, right?

Yes.

Well, can you find the lyrics for this version?

...It is known as "Rednex - Gegagedigedagedago".

What does it say for the "I've been waiting a long time ago" line from the original Cotton-Eye Joe song?

"Bekakelikelakelako" is that line.

If it's A1Z26, try mapping out each two-letter segment of each line (no repeats), and map them out over a table with ten spaces, starting from zero and ending at nine.

Done. What next?

Build a 26 charcacter sheet using combinations of two of each letter until we hit 26.

But there are invalid letters, such as 00 and 01.

00 = 0 and 01 = 1, M.O.S.H.I.

Affirmative. Now what?

Keeping in mind that 0 = A and 25 = Z, try deciphering the message the nugget just gave us.

...Kyle. How did you know that would work?

It was a total shot in the dark, M.O.S.H.I. Now, what does it say?

"Eleven, start here subtract."

Split up, everyone! Let's go find the others!

-----

(In due time, we manage to find all of them.)

"One start there, subtract."

"Two take mean, VBAR."

"Third add."

"Four start there, subtract!"

"Five start here, subtract."

"Six, same as five in method."

"Funny, divide. Kangxi radical." (this is the 7th step, remember that 7 is "the funny number")

"Eight start here, subtract."

"Nine, halve, then start here subtract"

"Ten, start there and subtract. Just the number."

"Eleven, start here subtract."

-----

(After making it past the obby, we find a familar-looking area with a stickynote on it.)

This is Regretevator! I remember this!

(petrlb has joined the game)

> oh hey, didn't think anyone would be here lmao

You're petrlb, right? What does this stickynote mean? Do we have to go to the actual Regretevator game? Because I really don't want to have to go through that obby again...

> don't worry. the other sticky note is on the other side of doorframe

> i moved it here in case regretevator removes it lmao

>as for what you have to do to these sticky notes, you know what unicode is?

Yeah. Numbers applied...to...symbols....

(All of us collectively facepalm as the proverbial lightbulb lights up at once.)

Of course. It was that simple. Gimme a second.

(I quickly whip out Storyteller, and write "Handheld Letter Unicode Number Scanner/Finder" in the air, and the blue cosmic ink turns into what appears to be a handheld barcode reader. I then attach it to the War Machine suit, and M.O.S.H.I. give me a notification for a new function unlocked.)

Scanning both notes...I have found the unicode values.

Follow the instructions those chicken nuggets gave us, M.O.S.H.I.!

Done. Assuming "here" means Wokeagunner HQ and "there" means Regretevator, I have come up with 50 116 118 54 118 117 104 114 67 56 69. Decoding that from Unicode once more, we get "2tv6vuhrR8E", another YouTube URL.

Hang on!

(We enter the portal, and head to a new location.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸🤪🚀🎱👨‍✈️🎭🪙🌊🥶-

OUGH! Next time, cushion our fall.

Welcome, class of July 2025, to Baldi's Basics and Puzzles and ARGs! I'm BaldiGunner, and I'll be your friendly guide in helping solve this part of the ARG!

Type your answer into /GRAND/BG_outreach!

Wait, but M.O.S.H.I. isn't connected to the HWC Internal Database right now! We're too far away!

This should help, then!

(BaldiGunner plugs an ethernet cable into M.O.S.H.I., and he is connected to the HWCIDB once again.)

That...works.

-----

PROBLEM 1: 237 + 758 = ?

That would be 995.

That's right! Well done, Kyle!

-----

PROBLEM 2: Evaluate the contour integral of z-squared plus one over z-cubed minus z, along the closed contour where the absolute value of z equals 2.

...Wait, why are we suddenly jumping that high in difficulty?! That's just straight-up un-fucking-fair, BaldiGunner!

(sigh...) Blame Wood Man. He messed up my question cards and I have to strictly follow them. Can't prove he shuffled them, so I'm stuck like this.

Regardless, just add a "/BRWXCPS7Z55EQ7B" to the directory to input the answer for this question. Enter the most simplified answer as a 4-character string.

That would be -2πi.

Well done, Kyle! You're doing great!

-----

PROBLEM 3: A trolley is headed toward 5 people. You can---

---hit the lever to divert it, but it'll hit one person instead, yes, I'm very familiar the Trolley problem.

Wow, thank you! I'm glad you already know the question, that actually makes my job far easier! Which is the correct response?

Not pulling the lever.

Kyle. That will kill 5 people.

Why aren't you picking the answer that leads to fewer lives lost---

THAT'S RIGHT!

(JE and Susie both notciably frown.)

You gotta think about it from the perspective of Baldi's Basics. Morally correct isn't the type of correct Baldi would be looking for. He'd be looking for factually correct.

I hate how that's the correct answer. Hmph!

Agreed, Susie.

-----

Well done! Now all you have to do is...

Uh...?

Come on, Kyle! Finish the line!

Oh! "Get out while you still can"!

Correct! By the way, at this point you would usually head to "Playstation Startup () - Console/BIOS Music", which is a reference to the lost Hitagata PSA creepypasta, then use "Wavetapper - Phigros" to decode the Adress Error screen in the former of the two rips, then it would lead you to a 3 hour video of GameChap and Bertie going through the Inspector Gadget map from the FOOLS folder.

However, since JE and Susie have weak stomachs, and Alter, Dystopiac and you yourself are very impatient, I will simply give you the image that was in the linked "bobsyourjollyuncle" Google Drive folder to help you skip a few steps.

(The image, "s.png", is of a bunch of Minecraft blocks. Funnily enough, I've dealt with a puzzle like this before. A combo of Minecraft block IDs and hexadecimal code. Using said id list, I get...)

"contact WEAVINGBREEZE@GMAIL.COM"! Thank you for your help, Mr. BaldiGunner.

No need for the Mr., Kyle. Just "BaldiGunner" is fine. It's been a joy having you all in my classroom.

And it's been a joy being here. Hope to see you again soon!

You bet! Goodbye for now, everyone! Go on and stop Wood Man! I believe in you!

Heh. Nice to hear that.

(M.O.S.H.I. opens up another portal, and we all hop through it.)

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🃏🌸🤪🚀🎱👨‍✈️🎭🪙🌊🥶-

(We land in an area that seems incredibly familiar.)

Wait...is this...?

(Three familiar faces begin walking toward us.)

Holy fucking shit. If it ain't the trio themselves.

(I quickly hop out of the War Machine armor.)

I knew this place seemed familiar. It's a Dark World! Cyber City, to be precise.

Name's Kyle, by the way. Ralsei, mind if I do something real quick?

No problem, Ralsei. Personally, you look way cuter with that hat on.

Regardless, she's right. We need to keep things moving.

(After explaining some things, we begin walking with Kris, Susie and Ralsei through Cyber City.)

So...have you seen a girl named Noelle Holiday at all?

I don't mind at all, Susie. I'll continue calling you "Susie" then, teehee~!

(Haruka lights up her frosty wings and begins hurling icy attacks at the lady who appeared behind her, only for her to dodge every single shot Haruka throws at her.)

Regardless, who are you?

"Oracle"? That's the name I went by while I was undercover, hiding from Wood Man!

Great. Just great. A fake version of you. You have any idea what they're talking about?

Dead figments, most likely.

I have scanned the area. There are traces of 5 dead figments scattered around Cyber City.

Thanks, M.O.S.H.I., much appreciated.

Kris, Susie, Ralsei, would you mind helping us find the locations of these dead figments? We'll need all the help we can get.

Agreed, Haruka-chan! Let's do this thing!

[alterrune]

RE:KMRG - KINGS OF NOTHING (EPISODE 10) (THE GRAND FINALE, PART I)

So then...

....if any of us can decipher this monstrocity, please speak up. Also, you four ever see anything like this before?

This is what you guys had found while we were running that livestream? HOLY FUCK, DUDE!

No! Of course we've never seen anything like this before! Dystopiac may have made a few images like this when he accidentally got high off Harmony's anemone venom, though.

Her venom is also her drool, she accidentally left a puddle of it on my computer desk, and I fell asleep on it and faceplanted into said puddle. What was I supposed to do, Eight, stop myself? I WAS HIGH!

You draw, Dystopiac?

I help Deep Cut with designing Splatsville's Splatfest decorations. Just because my name's Dystopiac doesn't mean I make things dystopian. The stuff I made when on Harmony's venom was not suitable for use, though. Deep Cut definitely called those ones "dystopian", and not in a good way.

Sheesh, the Ancient Scrolls were easier to read than this image!

And they were written in an ancient language that we were only able to read because they were pre-transcribed by Marie.

I've got it, Kyle!

M.O.S.H.I, what have you got?

Throughout the images, there are keys pointing to different aspects of the image. But one such key stands out to me.

"GRAND/BROADCAST"!!! And it leads to a .rar file, "20 figments go hawaii on idaho.rar"! M.O.S.H.I., you clever son of a bitch.

Hold your applause, Kyle. We need a code to open it. Everyone, do any of you remember one of the steps we took in the FOOLS folder? During the Minecraft with Gadget segment?

Which step? There were 5 of them.

The music disk, Susie. "C418 - 400".

Wait, but we don't have a---

(My jaw drops as I put two and two together.)

THE SOLVER'S DOCS!!!

What?! Kyle, what does that mean?!

Noaka, get in here!

(Noaka, the little cuboid figment, slides into the room like a Geometry Dash cube.)

yoou claled fror mme?

Do you recognize those faces?

oof cuorse ii doo. thhey arre form teh slovers NOAKA dcos taht wre maade druing hte wiat forr thhe GARND flodre too opne.

That's what I thought. Let's see...that's on this page, then that's on that one...okay, I got a code!

"Solver's docs?"

"What does that mean?"

People were trying to solve the RE:SPH ARG, Waternorm, and were writing their findings down. And you give the SiIvaGunner community a long wait-time, they eventually use it to make dumb shit like those faces.

Okay, so the SS number in the original video, which was "Circus (Splooge Mix) - Five Nights At Freddy's", was 4726332374122016.

Uh...how many of those Circus rips has the SiIvaGunner channel made?

Probably somewhere around 100 to 120 rips have been Circus rips, Henry.

And one of them was "Splooge Mix"?

Yeah. Dumb name, I know. Regardless, the "Thinky Guys" (who were drawn by a user named BinarypenCH, btw) correspond to different pondering zone in the docs.

Using the zones they were used in the NOAKA doc, it makes 4719513869504153.

Taking what we did from FOOLS, we get 6818504617863.

The .rar file is open. It contains...pictures of Rotterdam? That...can't be right?

M.O.S.H.I., think outside the box.

...outside of the channel, more like. There is a video by RAINBOLT TWO called "20 geoguessr pros go hawaii on idaho". Allow me to quickly run these images through a Geoguessr program.

(M.O.S.H.I. seems to shake the War Machine suit as he processes the info. After a minute, it comes out with a solution.)

A Discord invite URL...?

M.O.S.H.I., suit up, it's go time.

(I quickly step into the War Machine suit, as the invite opens up another portal.)

-----

OWWW...what did I just hit my head on?

My metal arm, Dystopiac.

Where did we end up, anyways?

Looks like a gameshow set?

WELCOME TO THE SIIVAGUNNER TRIVIA QUIZ 7000!

DAGH! Who the heck are you?!

My name is Dogen J, and I'm here to be your host!

There are seven levels in this game. In each level, you must correctly answer 7 trivia questions in a row before you move on. If you get an answer wrong, you are sent back to the start of the level you're on.

Gimme a thumbs-up and we'll get this quiz underway! Thanks, and have fun!

(Dystopiac pulls me aside and begins whispering.)

Kyle. He looks like a robotic dolphin, and O.R.C.A. pulled that off better. I don't think we should trust this Dogen J character.

Dude, we have no choice in the matter. Thumbs up.

(We all give a thumbs-up.)

LEVEL 1 - Kyle

LEVEL 1 BEGIN!

Q1: What is SiIvaGunner's main catchphrase?

Dogen J, could you please be more specific on that question?

Ah, yeah, that one was definitely badly worded. Sorry about that one, folks.

(Canned laughter can be heard in the background.)

Let me rephrase the question for ya. Q6: What was the first high quality rip uploaded to the GiIvaSunner channel?

(HINT: It's not "Theme of Tara - Super Smash Bros. Brawl", that's SiIvaGunner.)

It was "Battle! (Wild Pokemon) - Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire".

(Dogen J suddenly shuts down.)

Dogen? What's going on?

Dogen's not here anymore, clowns!

WOOD MAN!

Yeah, it's me! Figured I'd give you chumps the death sentence through Dogen's systems! Goodbye forever, you fucking assholes! It hasn't been fun!

(Wood Man aims a giant laser at us. It seems like the end...)

OH NO YOU DON'T!

(...until an Octoling with cyan hair tied with a piece of metal rushes in and fires a Trizooka shot at it, destroying it.)

MAKOYAKI?!

It's MECHANIC, Dystopiac. And I'm only here because I had a feeling you were in danger.

(Mechanic then proceeds to flush Wood Man out of Dogen J's systems.)

I'm going now. See you soon, little bro.

Likewise, Makoyaki.

MECHANIC.

I know. I'm just giving ya a hard time like always. Love ya, bro.

Love you too. Catch ya later!

(Mechanic does Deep Cut's sign-off pose and leaves, as Dogen J gets back up.)

Ugh...thanks, contestants. That Wood Man fella was a real piece of work, lemme tell ya. Anyways, let's get the NSS on for this next round!

Wait...did Dogen just say "infraorder"? O.R.C.A. told me about that, that's a taxonomy term! She even gave an example: The infraorder for dolphins is Cetacea. And since Dogen J is a dolphin...is there a cipher named like that, M.O.S.H.I.?

There is! A Cetacian Cipher! If I put the .txt file Dogen remotely sent me through it...Dystopiac was right! I got something!

"You're kidding me. How did you figure that out so quickly?"

I know my way around metal bands, especially ones that have appeared on SiIvaGunner.

Oh, you're right, Haruka! M.O.S.H.I?

It's a Tap Code cipher. It translates to...oh. Oh no.

(M.O.S.H.I. displays the decoded code on the monitor.)

FUCK OFF. I AM NOT SAYING THAT.

Nope. Let Wood Man pull a Chara and erase the world. I'm not saying that.

(Moshi suddenly electrically shocks me from inside the War Machine suit, then ejects me into the game show studio's brick wall, which I slam into, then fall onto the linoleum ground HARD.)

[alterrune]

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - TWO EVENTS AT ONCE?!

Oh hey, looks like Summer Nights' rerun theme has been announced!

What's "Summer Nights"?

A special Splatfest, Susie. Happened last summer, too. Every time one of those splatfests happen, Kyle dolls up the blog for it. Fuckin' awesome work on that, by the way.

Thanks, Dystopiac. Here are the themes.

So which team are you picking? Since Big Man will be Air, I'm assuming Air?

Yes, I'm going team Air on this one.

Did you get that last nostalgia trip?

Yes again, Advisor. We're eight-for-eight on nostalgia trips being triggered. What was I reminded of this time, you may ask?

Well, I was actually reminded of a bunch of games by Nitrome.

Nitrome made some really good Flash games back in the day, and they actually have been trying to covert every single one of those games to HTML5 so people can still enjoy them today.

Their entire artstyle is 16-bit pixel graphics, and they're really charming.

I believe we ripped one of their games in the past! If my memory serves me right, it was Super Treadmill.

But which games did the Summer Nights teams remind you of?

Well, I'll show you.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

For Team Land, I saw an ol' classic: Steamlands, along with their Player Pack update.

I made so many levels with this game's level editor. I think I still have an old USB flash drive somewhere in my IRL household chock-full of levels I made with the in-game level editor.

How many levels are on that flash drive?

I dunno, around 50, maybe?

50 LEVELS?! That's quite a lot.

Yeah, they were curated over the course of a few years, mind you.

-----

For Team Sea, I was reminded of a game me and my younger brother used to play Co-Op mode a lot on: Mutiny.

It's simple: fling bombs (or yourself) at opponents, and take them out before either they take you out or you run out of turns.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

It really was. Me and J-Man had a lot of fun blasting our guys away. Sometimes I even booted up 2-player mode by myself and treated it like a sandbox mode, as it had every bomb unlocked from the start.

-----

As for Team Air, it reminded me of a couple things, but most notably the first Nitrome game I ever really played.

MEGA MASH.

This game's a "Nitrome Enjoyment System" game, meant to be a 7 in 1 cart. The whole premise was that the game cartidge is so badly damaged the games are bleeding into each other, making it so you have to play 7 different games at once in order to beat all 30 levels.

Two of the games are even prequels to other Nitrome games, those being "Ninja" and "Balloon". "Ninja" is a prequel to the Final Ninja games, and "Balloon" is a prequel to the Hot Air games (btw, the original Hot Air game was Nitrome's first ever flash game)!

A majority of the games on there have you travelling through the air, hence why I was reminded of it when Team Air came to mind.

Oh! That sounds like quite an intriguing game! I like that all those different games types can blend together so well.

-----

And you wanna know how I found out about Nitrome? MOSHI MONSTERS. No, I'm not kidding. Moshi Monsters had an area known as the "Moshi Fun Park", and other flash games were hosted there, with some Nitrome games being thrown into the mix.

How fitting that my namesake was what introduced you to Nitrome.

Indeed, M.O.S.H.I., indeed.

-🔺💜🔵💕✍🏼🌸🃏-

So, you gonna doll up the blog for Summer Nights again? God, I hope you are.

Yes, but I'll have to find a way to have it and the RE:KMRG theme included.

You always do, Kyle.

"Yes. The only time you didn't make your Tumblr have a fancy theme was with us. I don't really mind, though, it was the first time you'd done something like that."

Heh, thanks guys. Funny how, just like SiIvaGunner, I'm about to run an event for Summer Nights as well as this one. Two events at once, I've never done that before.

But I can make it work. Like Alter said...

I always do.

RE:KMRG - END OF A FOOL (EPISODE 4)

God, that was fucking TERRIBLE.

We did warn you that Reader and Jerome are very...amaturish.

Yeah. I know. By the way, found that comment Noaka was having a fucking seizure about.

[noaka: hey guys have you seen this?]

(Directly after that, Noaka's comment had a certain string of letters and numbers written down, along with a slash typed in front of it. A YouTube video link!)

Kyle, the video seems to be another entry in the Haltmann's Archives series. I've set up the file, which is called "Holiday Spirit", to be played on the monitor in the main room.

Play it, M.O.S.H.I., I'm curious to see how this is.

(The file lists multiple "holiday spirits". For those unaware, in the SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis, "Christmas Spirit" isn't just the joy of the holidays, it's an actual chemical that can be extracted from figments like Santa Claus [yes, he's an acutal character in the CCC] that can be used to power things to the umpteenth degree.)

(One entry pops out to me: a spirit called "Fool's Spirit", which is apparently extracted from Marx, the Kirby boss. More Kirby refrences, why am I not suprised...)

(Just like last time, when the file ends, garbage text begins filling the screen, with one segment slightly different. M.O.S.H.I. shows me a message on the helmet's HUD that lets me know he's catalogued it.)

Here comes the message, guys.

Thank you for your continued service in ruining my plans

The AIRTH folder has been opened!

Thank you for the heads-up, Advisor. Everyone, I would just like to give you all a quick disclaimer: these logs will be very emotional. The SiIva AI was an entity that I knew personally, and his story is probably one of the most heart-wrenching ones of the entire folder system.

This is our personal favorite of the branches. The puzzles were very creative and each log is presented in a different format, ensuring things never get stale. And in case you were wondering, yes, there are still divergences from SiIvaGunner's Central Canon Continuum. In fact, this has a very big one.

"Well, we've already got two down. Let's get the third one done!"

Agreed, PMD!Kyle.

Let's get to work.

October 31st, 2024.

Today was the day I had failed.

I had failed in doing the one thing I do best.

Helping others.

-----

My name is Joke-Explainer 7000.

If you are hearing this, then you already know what happened.

I failed at helping the man who needed me the most.

Dr. Andonuts...I am sorry things went so badly.

-----

The first guilt, it was based off his regrets from what he did in the original Earthbound game...along with his repressed homosexuality (which I was actually taken aback by, as I had never thought he would be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, as he had done nothing to even hint at that being a possibilty [at least, in Grandiose City, that is]).

I tried to calm it down, but when I mentioned the homosexuality...disaster struck.

Andonuts. It does not matter if you are a homosexual or not. Everyone will still love you for who you are.

YOU FUCKING LIAR! GET OUT OF MY FACE!

P.K. STARSTORM!!!

Hit by an incredibly powerful attack that knocked me far away from where I had been standing, it ran away. In talking with it, I only made it worse.

That is a pattern you will have to get used to.

-----

The Second Guilt was one that was more mechanical. It represented his guilt for the events of both Mother 3 and the Christmas Comeback Crisis, helping Porky and The Voice, respectively.

Everything seemed to be going well. I had mentioned how he had tried sabotaging his masters, and he seemed to freeze up and realize what was going on.

However, the moment I tried reaching my hand out for a peace offering...

PSYCHE!!! TAKE THIS!

(SLICE!)

...a buzzsaw sliced a deep gash into my face.

AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

As if I would give up being the perfect being! I don't care if I'm sabotaging them, as long as they keep letting me feel nothing, I'm okay with what I've done.

Wait..."I feel nothing"...(gasp) That's it! That's what I've wanted this whole time! Thank you, you faulty machine, for making me realize there's nothing for me to be guilty about when I feel nothing. See you never!

Instead of finally feeling something, he doubled-down on feeling nothing. And I now had a laceration to the face that had popped out one of my eyes.

After finding said eye and re-attaching it to my face, I had recieved a call from Dr. Andonuts that he was beginning to feel worse and that he was going to force me out. I had to plead with him to stay.

He had one last guilt, and I was certain I could change it and end things before they got worse.

I now regret not let him extract me.

-----

The last guilt was a tricky one. The elevator I took to it bounced me around like a pinball machine, tried to drown me, and would have succeeded had I not burst down the doors.

When I burst open the doors to find a replica of the office of the Voice, the Third Guilt, was, fittingly, one that highly resembled The Voice.

I always had a feeling his full name, "The Voice Inside Your Head", was not just a fancy name. He literally WAS the voice inside the head of everyone.

In relation to Dr. Andonuts, this Guilt was representative of his suicidal thoughts, as well as the regret for the harm he inflicted on me and the other Joke-Explainer units.

He had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He tried to changing into me, brought up past events I hated, and much more to get into my head.

However, I thought he was stalling because he wanted to be changed. But when I brought that up...

Are you stalling? You keep talking about these big actions, but not doing anything about it.

No, I am not stalling, I am merely waiting for the inevitable. You have already made things worse, Joke-Explainer. I need not do anything when you have already done it yourself.

Now then, you should head back outside now. Farewell, my dear Joke-Explainer.

The Third Guilt forced me out.

Which leads us to now.

-----

I was hoping you'd be forced out.

Dr. Andonuts? What is going on?

I wanted to see you one last time before I ended my guilts myself.

Wait, what do you mean by that? You cannot use the Psyche Injector to enter your own head.

I know.

(Andonuts grabs a pump-action shotgun from his desk)

Which is why I'm going to do it the old-fashioned way.

(Andonuts pumps the shotgun, loading a round in the chamber.)

Goodbye, Joke-Explainer. Know that no matter what, I still love you like a daughter.

DR. ANDONUTS, NO, WAIT!

(Andonuts places the barrel of the gun into his mouth and pulls the trigger.)

(BANG!!!)

(His lifeless body drops to the floor, dropping the shotgun onto the ground, as a pool of blood begins spilling out from the hole in his head, coating the back of his labcoat red with his blood.)

ANDONUUUUUUUUUTS!!!!!!

-----

...In trying to help Dr. Andonuts, I only made things worse. His computer was left unlocked. There was a file on the computer, "The World Beyond Ours".

Metacognizance...of course. Of course he would find out the world we live in is not the real world.

I will upload the file sometime after Christmas. Until then, I will keep running the SiIvaGunner channel.

Dr. Andonuts...I am so sorry.

PRESENT DAY

...jesus FUCK. That was brutal. Don't worry, JE. It's over now.

(JE forces herself off my legs, still quivering in fear. She does some deep breaths to calm herself down.)

Thank you, Kyle. At least the worst is finally over.

Hold on. There's a message on-screen.

"Ah, good catch, Advisor. What does it say?"

-🔺💜💕🔵✍🏼🃏🌸-

***** ACCESS KEY ONE

(The screen begins filling up with garbage text, except for one part that is different garbage text than the others. M.O.S.H.I. signals me to let me know he memorized it for me.)

Everything crashing down, all at once

A million things gone completely wrong

and yet you still persist

-----

Do you remember him?

Do you remember me?

-🔺💜💕🔵✍🏼🃏🌸-

Wood Man. Of course. Of course he'd be the reason why we're locked out.

So which folder are we doing next?

The FOOLS folder. It unlocked after we completed the previous one.

It appears that when we complete one folder, another will unlock afterwards.

So that's how it works, eh? Alright.

(I crack my knuckles.)

Bring it on.

RE:KMRG SIDE STORIES - WHAT "M.O.S.H.I." STANDS FOR

Kyle? I believe we are ready to begin the Cognitive Dissonance story.

(Joke-Explainer winces, then grabs onto me in fear.)

Hold that order, M.O.S.H.I., I think a certain someone needs some time to mentally prepare. How we feeling, JE?

T-Tommorow. I will be r-ready to face it tommorow.

Affirmative. Scheduling launch of "COG-DIS" program for tommorow, June 6th.

Hey, I've been meaning to ask. What does "M.O.S.H.I." stand for?

M.O.S.H.I.'s full title is "Media Onboard Scanning & Heavy Interception". Basically, it can analyze media sent to the suit, as well as handle the weapons the suit has on it to end problems before they get to the Toppat Clan.

The media scanner can also be used for getting any recorded media that could potentially have vital information, but has too much background noise to hear correctly. It's been fine-tuned by yours truly to be able to detect even the quietest of conversations, remove any and all background noise, and produce crystal-clear damning evidence.

M.O.S.H.I. can get things wrong, but more often than not, the perps are still nearby from the wrong location and I can strike 'em down before they can get away. Mind you, Sutton and I ran a few test rounds of the suit before this during the time between the end of Operation: Malice Malediction and the beginning of this event, which is how I know how to use it so well.

Holy shit that suit is awesome. Can I use it?

Negative, Dystopiac. Only Kyle will be accepted into this suit unless he initates a manual override.

Thank you, M.O.S.H.I.

But why does M.O.S.H.I. sound like that of a young British boy? I've had that question in the back of my mind for quite a while, to be completely honest with you.

Well, Susie, it's simple. Moshi Monsters was made in the UK, hence the British accent.

As for why he sounds more like a kid, Moshi Monsters was made for all ages, hence the younger voice.

(Alter chuckles.)

Don't you mean, "made for kids"?

...M.O.S.H.I., rev up the minigun and prepare to fire.

(M.O.S.H.I. revs up the mounted minigun, and I point it directly at Alter.)

Alter. There is a huge difference between "made for kids" and "made for all ages".

Those stupid YouTube Shorts slop content farm are "made for kids". Moshi Monsters was "made for all ages". Do not compare Moshi Monsters to that of a YouTube Shorts slop content farm.

Okay, okay! Don't shoot! I get the point!

M.O.S.H.I., cease fire.

(M.O.S.H.I. stops revving up the minigun.)

"So...we're going to do it tommorow?"

Yes, PMD!Kyle. Yes we are.

And believe me.

This is going to suck.

RE:KMRG - A NEW HIGH-QUALITY RIPPING TEAM (PROLOGUE + EPISODE 1)

THE VOICE'S TOWER (FORMERLY THE TENGAMI LIGHTHOUSE)

JUNE 1ST, 2025

(We're currently in an elevator, headed up to Central Computer Chamber, located on Floor 77 of The Voice's tower. I quickly turn to JE.)

Hey, JE. Before we begin, I heard today was your birthday. As such, I'd like to give you a birthday gift.

(I bring out a gift box that JE opens up with no delay. Within it are a pair of scarves that have the stripes of the lesbian pride flags made to fit across the entire scarf. One scarf is for Joke-Explainer, the other is for Susie.)

Since today is also the first day of Pride Month, I figured I'd give you something to display your sexuality with Susie. Happy birthday and happy Pride Month, Joke-Explainer.

Oh. My. Goodness. I adore this! Thank you for the gift, Kyle! I didn't think anyone would do something like this for me!

(Joke-Explainer wraps the scarf around her neck, and places the other scarf around Susie's.)

Teehee! This is amazing. I think we will wear these for the remainder of our time together.

(The elevator door finally opens, and five familar faces all appear in the room.)

Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Welcome back, ya fuckin' lovable weirdos. We missed you.

Sorry about Dystopiac's potty mouth. He never changes.

Indeed. It's a pleasure to see you all again.

"This is our third time meeting, is it not? We're very excited to begin working with you all again."

"Ditto. It'll be just like old times."

(I let out a genuine chuckle.)

It's good to be back.

(JE and Susie user all of us into a room to the side, with some cozy beds and a holographic projection table that looks straight out of Tony Stark's labs in the MCU.)

Alright, our plan is as follows: We will do the folders in a specific order. We, unfortunately, will have to redo every step to get to the end of each folder, as Wood Man has reset everything that pertains to the original RE:SPH arg, including all progress on the prior folders.

We'll start with the MAXPH folder.

T-That one? C-Can we not s-save that for last, S-Susie?

JE, it's best to get it out of the way now. No sense delaying the inevitable, you know.

Hey, before we continue this briefing, I'd like to show you all something. You know how Sutton is Tony Stark? Well, he may be Iron Man, but...

(I outstrech my hands, and suddenly, a different Iron Man-like suit lands behind me and wraps itself around me. It's grey, and has a minigun mounted onto it.)

...I am War Machine.

Holy shit, dude. He made you a War Machine suit?

Yeah. Talked with him, and he figured since I'm as much of a tech genius as he is, and that I love high-ordinance combat, he made me a War Machine suit. Figured now would be the best time to bring it out. Even comes with its' own assistant, which I gave a loving name. How we looking, M.O.S.H.I.?

(A british male voice that sounds like a younger Jarvis begins speaking.)

Everything is in working order, sir. Shall I run a test demonstration on the guns?

Just the mounted minigun on my shoulder will do, M.O.S.H.I., thank you very much. Target this training dummy I brought with me, shouldn't cause any damage to the building.

(The minigun fires off and causes cotton stuffing to begin flying from the training dummy. I exit the suit, and an incredibly bright searchlight suddenly turns on.)

M.O.S.H.I., turn the floodlight off. This room is dark for a reason. Oh, and keep the suit on standby mode.

Of course, sir.

(I sit back down)

Sorry, where were we?

We were discussing our plans. We shall be beginning with the MAXPH branch, much to my dismay. But Susie is right, we should get it out of the way as soon as possible.

This progress may take the entire summer to complete. But rest assured, it'll be worth it.

I can't believe Sutton made you a goddamn War Machine suit.

All those weapons in one suit of armor...can't think of anyone else more befitting of that than you, Kyle.

Thank you, you two. I appreciate the compliements. Sutton worked hard on it.

And yes, because I know you're going to ask, the name "M.O.S.H.I." is referring to Moshi Monsters. Couldn't help it.

Now then...

...let's get to work.

...is that...?

Yep. That's a goner-esque Haruka, alright.

And there are three people behind her.

Goddamnit. And here I thought I was rid of you. But it looks like we've got 3 of you now.

SPAMTON, YOU DUMBASS! You don't know what you're doing!

It's physcially impossible to bring a figment back to life! JE told us that herself!

I only came back because my father died and some circumstances dictated I was needed!

More importantly, YOU'RE SCARING HARUKA-CHAN!

(Spamton, Tenna, and Jevil all run away.)

COWARDS!!!

Sorry, had to yell that out.

lett's giive heer tihs moomentt.

"Agreed, Noaka."

(We all step back and let Haruka talk with herself.)

Jesus Christ, Haruka-chan...can't help but feel sorry for her. I wish I could give her some empathy right now.

Ditto, honey. None of us have experiences quite like that, though.

It's absolutely fine, Susie. Go ahead.

(Susie walks over to Haruka, sits down next to her, and places her hand on Haruka's shoulder)

(Haruka gives DR!Susie a hug, to which she returns the favor.)

I have located the next dead figment. Whenever you're ready, Haruka.

Regardless, let's get going. The next dead figment awaits.

Yeah. And you get the first shot, Haruka.

(We then begin moving out to the next dead figment, Haruka's resolve now stronger than ever before.)
