Good find!

Even more excited about the event, personally. Be warned about reading it, though. The same as others, this contains what I’d consider to be some spoilers. Specifically going over some logistics behind Ascension

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

The Bear and “Carlos” both were things that I had previously thought would only have any effect before Addison’s change into 2, but the fact that the OSDM still wants it suggests otherwise. Combined with the fact that this request seems both frantic and needed and happened right after Addison’s periscope and info drop suggests that this bear could work as some sort of trump card in influencing Addison’s actions.

The OSDM rather clearly wants to control if not outright hurt Addison. I suspect it goes without saying that you cannot let them get their hands on it.

Ah, got it. I know for a fact that a few of us around here are going on 9/15 but, to my shame, I don’t remember them.

I’m going to move this topic to the In-Person forum so that it can get the proper attention

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

You’re speaking about Ascension, right?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@mike he was obviously talking about the Sith rebellion overthrowing the corrupt Jedi empire, what did you think he was talking about!?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Emotions ran very high last time that this topic came up. My post here is not in reference to any one person, but rather because I see the same ramp up of emotions that I saw the last time we spoke about this topic. Both sides seem irritated at this

This close to Ascension, we can not tolerate more drama. Explain, talk about, even debate, but do not attack.

I’ll be staying out of this but will be extremely quick to close this topic if things get heated again.

Play nice, kids.

Not as far as I know. She deals with a very limited amount of people and, by and large, people either forget it’s an option or don’t want to say it to her.

@111error and @reaton likely have the most interaction with her, I don’t believe either said Carlos to her

I’m rather impressed that you’ve already real close to our understanding of what’s going on in such a short time. Yes, the chart says that Gatekeepers should report only to Anoch with the Clockmakers underneath them. However, III told us that they don’t even hear Anoch’s words any more, and all of the recent turmoil may absolutely be indicative of power plays that are going on behind the scenes.

Gatekeepers, by all accounts, should be in control. But it seems that the Clockmakers have a hand in it, too. Your theory is a perfectly valid one and one that we may well be seeing the conclusion to next Wednesday

Welcome Willy!

Timeline’s going to be a good starting place to get overall caught up. The MHL podcast can be found here if you want to go real in depth, as @mike and @reaton have not only been thorough in their coverage, but have also been major characters during Indoctrination.

The Chronicles, a stickied post on this forum may also be a good place to get caught up. Other than that, we’re mostly here to help you out. As you read through and get familiar with the story so far if you have any questions at all, please ask and we’ll jump to answer.

In the mean time, you may want to consider also following The_Tension_Exp on Twitter/Periscope, recently they’ve used Periscope specifically to get their word out

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

No forum on them, but they’ve been talked about before. The Organizational structure chart places them just below the Gatekeepers, although recent topics may suggest that isn’t the case. We’ve been able to piece together that they seem to be powerful and are responsible for most of the OOA’s machinations.

Welcome @alyfc210!

That’s a hell of a start you got there, that’s a damn good question. “Why” is something that we never know definitive answers for, so we always have to piece those answers together from what we know. Firstly, 2 of the 4 Gatekeepers that we’ve met have explicitly died, with the third implied to have died, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that a Gatekeeper needs to die in order for the next to emerge. For example 5 stepped down, presumably to Overseer, so that 4 could take over. 4 stepped down for III.

However, more importantly, the way that everyone has spoken about The One suggests that this person is worth sacrificing for. That One will bring about such change that its for the greater good to bring about One’s emergence, even if it means dying for

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

To address the first point that I have any commentary on, I don’t think that III’s reprogram resulted in the initial state. 4 essentially called him a premature baby, I believe the timetable was rushed leading to his initial state. The reprogram is what lead to his coherent, if destructive state.

As a second point, the “This feels too small” email was sent 4 hours before the LA Times article and only shortly before the No Proscenium podcast. I suspect that they were talking about the Media Blitz just before it happened, having engineered the whole thing

If she gives out a time any time soon, I may have enough time to make arrangements. If that happens, she’s free to turn me down at the door. But if she has something to say, I want to hear it.

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

You pretty much got it. 2/Addison believes that the OOA has lost their way and wants to bring forth One to usher in the new age.

Apparently some have met One, and One is supposed to be extremely dangerous and powerful
