Redemption Round 3 - Match 8

We were so close to a Desolation v Desolation, y'all. Alas, Section 31 stayed in the rankings with 126 votes last round, and is up against Burnt Offering and its 136 RR2 votes for 256 Redemption Votes so far! Side note, I don't think I put this in any of the posts yet but did y'all know Burnt Offering is partially based on a true story? Like the finding a weird ritual site?

[annabelle--cane]

do we have any information on the approximate dates or year that TMA takes place in? I’m obsessed with timelines and I’m so curious about if those dates are Known or not or can only be guessed about

yes we do! some parts of the timeline are a little vague, but every live and "in situ" statement (with a few exceptions) has a date attached to it. I won't go through every known date, and I'm also not scrupulously checking to make sure I've copied all these numbers down correctly so there's probably an error or two in here, but some significant ones include:

s1

mag 13 - alone: the first live statement and the first hard date for the show, 13 january 2016

mag 22 - colony: martin's statement after being trapped by jane prentiss, 12 march 2016

mag 26 - a distortion: sasha's statement about meeting michael, 2 april 2016 (<- that was my fourteenth birthday :3)

mag 38 / mag 39 / mag 40: jane prentiss's attack on the institute, sasha's death, and all the debrief statements afterwards, 29 july 2016

s2

mag 41 - too deep: jon's statement about exploring the tunnels and his first supplemental tape about gertrude's murder, 2 september 2016

mag 43 - section 31: basira's statement about diego molina + the start of her giving gertrude's old tapes to jon, 19 september 2016

mag 47 - the new door: helen's statement about the hallways, we meet michael in person for the first time, 2 october 2016

mag 61 - hard shoulder: daisy's statement about seeing the coffin for the first time, 1 december 2016

mag 73 - police lights: basira's statement about rescuing callum brodie from maxwell rayner, 11 february 2017

mag 76 - the smell of blood: melanie's statement about her investigations into war ghosts, at the end she and jon have a bit of a fight about how That Is Not Sasha, 13 february 2017

mag 78 / mag 79 / mag 80: jon releases not-sasha from the table, martin and tim get trapped in the corridors, jon meets leiter, elias smashes leitner with a metal pipe, all on 16 february 2017

s3

mag 81 / mag 82: jon makes a statement at georgie's place about a guest for mr spider at the same time as daisy interviews the remaining archives staff to try and ascertain his whereabouts, 18 february 2017

mag 89 - twice as bright: statement of jude perry, ft. jon hand crispification, 24 april 2017

mag 91 / mag 92 (/ maybe mag 93?): statement of mike crew, death of mike crew, jon daisy and basira's encounter in the woods, the big elias conversation at the institute, 28 april 2017. mag 93 might also be recorded on this day, I'm not quite sure, because georgie's statement (mag 94) is 29 april, but I don't know if that's fully the next day or if jon got back really late on the 28th, recorded mag 93, and then georgie gave her statement in the wee hours of the 29th. up to interpretation and how little sleep you envision jon as having.

mag 100 - I guess you had to be there: lynne hammond's is 2 may 2017, robin lennox's is 20 may 2017, brian finlinson's is 26 may 2017, and "john smith's" statement doesn't have a date.

mag 111 - family business: gerry's posthumous statement about smirke's 14, 30 june 2017. again, trevor and julia's statement about how they met in mag 109 is dated 29 june, and I don't know if it's an either-side-of-midnight thing or a full day elapsed between them.

mag 118 - the masquerade: martin and melanie pull a fast one on elias while the rest of the gang sets up explosives in the unknowing, 6 august 2017.

mag 120 - eye contact: elias's statement about jon's coma dreams + elias's arrest, 9 august 2017.

s4

mag 121 / mag 122: oliver banks gives his statement about point nemo and jon wakes up, 15 february 2018

mag 128 - heavy goods: breekon deliver's the coffin and jon slurps a statement right out of his head, 3 march 2018

mag 141 - doomed voyage: on the boat to norway jon slurps a statement about mikaele salesa out of a shiphand's head, 11 june 2018

mag 142 - scrutiny: jess tyrell comes in to complain about jon slurping a statement out of her head and haunting her nightmares, 12 june 2018

mag 146 / mag 147: jon gets intervened on about all the brain slurping, they go to hilltop road and find annabelle's statement, 20 july 2018

mag 157 / mag 158 / mag 159: peter releases not-sasha and brings martin to the panopticon for a showdown with "elias," julia and trevor attack the institute, daisy goes monster mode, and jon follows martin into the lonely and saves him with the power of gay love and also slurping peter lukas's brain so hard he explodes badly, 25 september 2018

mag 160 - the eye opens: jon reads a normal statement and nothing bad happens, 18 october 2018.

MAG 43 - Section 31

basira my beloved

[faultyvessel]

Tossing my hat into the ring of things the fandom is hoping get brought up in tmagp:

Section 31. More elaboration. Please.

Jonny and Alex emphasized on the idea of “organizations” being crucial thematically to tmagp while discussing it in the lives . And, while I figure that it specifically refers to the OIAR, I’m also hoping it will extend to other groups. Government has a notable hand in first responder jurisdiction and I would love to know what powers at be first started using section 31 to cover up supernatural occurrences. Is that use random? Or is it a Fear related ploy to drive people into the wrong corners (à la going to the institute in MAG OG)?

I’m talking police here, but Basira mentions a hypothetical equivalent in ER in MAG 43. Going with that theme firefighters might also have an equivalent. So there’s potential for a great deal of cover up on an organizational level.

Jonny and Alex also brought up bureaucratic horror. I can imagine attempting to reach out to various branches that deal with emergencies in order to get an idea of what isn’t being reported (as was brought up in the ARG hiring video) is a special kind of hell and just the thing they are looking for to make us suffer. Or, perhaps while digging for info about the institute , Alice and Sam might end up speaking to more people who’ve left the force (or the other branches I’ve mentioned) because of ‘weird cases’.

It just feels like there’s more untapped potential there and I’m begging for it to be acknowledged. PLEASE.

Creeptober 17 - Ashes Knight of Wands/MAG 43 - Section 31

"The fireman just sort of nods to him, and I realise for the first time the bald guy’s saying something. Not loud, but intensely. I mean, this was years ago, so I don’t remember exactly what he was saying, but it definitely involved the words “cleansing fire”, “all shall be ash” and the name Asag, which I later learned is some kind of Sumerian demon. So that’s fun."

Date: December 1st, 2022

Episode of the day: MAG 43 Section 31

"No-one says the P-word. Not ‘paranormal’, not ‘supernatural’, not even ‘spooky’. The words you learn to look out for are “weird”, “odd”, “strange” and if you hear the phrase “I’m not quite sure what I’m looking at”, then yeah, you’re not getting much back-up."

Redemption Round 2 - Match 16

Another high seed again, we have Section 31, which had only 91 votes in Round Two against Fire Escape, which lost its Round One match with 90 votes -- is this match as evenly matched as the numbers make it seem?

Section 31

spiders ? oh no

— i like basira's voice

— i feel like we've heard 'asag' before

— HEAT ENTITY

— book.

— zippo lighter ? like jon's ?

— i feel like basira might be back.. we'll probably hear more of daisy and diego too

— ohh so diegos part of this weird eye tattoo cult ? he's the unnamed guy from mag 12 right ?

— IT CUT OFF ?

— yeah ok so jon agrees diego is the guy from mag 12

right so, this eye cult thing ? so far we've got Diego Molina, Gerard Kaey (and most likely Mary Kaey) and Albrecht von Closen ? there's probably other eye related people i've forgot about

Statement ends.
