https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thp0r4gPw2A

[00:08] Live from Avaron Studios, it's the moment you've all been waiting for.
[00:15] It's the Aaron Show with Mason.
[00:20] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:24] Featuring the ever brilliant Janine Caldwell and the man behind the sound making.
[00:31] I don't know.
[00:33] I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
[00:35] I'm just as scared as you are.
[00:36] Sure.
[00:39] No explicit language is heard.
[00:40] David, run.
[00:42] On tonight's episode, special guests.
[00:46] How did I get here?
[00:47] Vinka, you remember how you got here?
[00:50] No, I show the Aaron show.
[01:13] New episode every week.
[01:20] Hello everyone and welcome back to another video.
[01:25] Today's video is going to be something very special because if you've clicked on to this video, I would like to say welcome one and all to my first ever analog horror reaction video.
[01:40] I'm going to be honest with you guys.
[01:42] I never would have thought I'd do something like this.
[01:45] We've reacted to SCPs in the past, but analog horror is a completely different story.
[01:51] Now, of course, if you're on the horror side of things, I'm sure you guys are aware that analog horrors have become the mainstream when it comes to horror media on the internet.
[02:04] And today's series that we're going to be going over is one such that has gotten a lot of traction recently, ever since I'd like to say 2026 has started.
[02:12] The analog horror
[02:15] Series that we're going to be deep diving today is called the Aaron Show.
[02:20] And if you guys know how analog horrors are typically like, then I'd suggest you stick around to watch till the end for this video because the Avarian Show does things which you wouldn't expect to find in your typical analog horror.
[02:37] So yeah, we're going to be deep diving and exploring the Avarian show analog horror series, going through all of the videos so that we are up to date to the latest one.
[02:47] And then at the end, obviously, we'll be doing our final theories and discussions, which we'll also be doing throughout the video as well, really.
[02:53] Now, another reason why I'm reacting to this series is because, believe it or not, there's a surprise to this.
[03:03] Your boy me actually voice acts a character in this series, which again to me is something I never would have thought I'd.
[03:17] Find my voice in something like an analog horror series on the internet.
[03:21] And I just want to say I am so grateful to be part of something so cool and awesome.
[03:33] And I really hope you guys enjoy this experience because I had a lot of fun going through this series.
[03:37] But yeah, I'm going to stop the yapping.
[03:39] As you can tell from the length of this video, there is a lot to go through.
[03:44] Also, quickly before we start, I will be linking the channel to the Avarian show in the description below.
[03:52] Please, please go and subscribe.
[03:55] A lot of effort has been put into this series.
[03:58] So, your support is greatly appreciated.
[04:01] And again, just honestly, make sure to just support your horror creators out there because they're the reason why I can make this video.
[04:09] I really hope you guys enjoy this and stick around till the end because I would say it's definitely worth it.
[04:13] And yeah, let's do this.
[04:21] So, you know, for those of you who know about analog horrors, you will know that you know what what's the general aesthetic of an analog horror.
[04:28] You have the VHS effect.
[04:31] You have disturbing imagery.
[04:34] You have the sort of found footage styled cinematics and visuals.
[04:38] You have the sort of text on screen, stuff like that.
[04:44] Um, and that's pretty much, you know, what Analog Horror is about, I guess.
[04:49] But, um, you guys are going to see maybe right off of the bat that this is a series which does things a little bit differently.
[05:02] Um, this I would say this is a very unique series.
[05:04] They sort of term it as an analog horror/ ARG found footage styled thing, which I guess again a lot of analog horrors fall into that category.
[05:16] But again, this one, the setting is different and it's something you wouldn't expect to see in your typical
[05:23] Analog horror in my opinion.
[05:27] I'm scared, guys.
[05:27] I'm scared.
[05:27] I need coffee.
[05:29] Hold on.
[05:32] Right off the bat, all I'm going to say is you guys are going to hear me somewhere.
[05:39] I hope you guys can recognize it.
[05:41] Or let's see if you guys hear my voice.
[05:44] The unspeakable murder of Ellie H.
[05:46] Now, it should be better.
[05:47] Who had been the fourth to disappear this year alone within the town of Oakwood.
[05:52] Following Senator Moore's daughters, Ethel and Aurelia, each one found days later, changed.
[05:58] Authorities are calling the pattern disturbing, though no official suspect has been named.
[06:03] Locals say it all points to one company south of the city.
[06:06] Variant Labs.
[06:12] Hey, you.
[06:12] Uh-oh.
[06:13] Yeah, you.
[06:13] You look like someone with potential.
[06:15] Are you looking for work?
[06:22] Hello.
[06:24] Welcome to Variation Tech, a place where science meets possibility.
[06:27] And limits.
[06:33] Joselyn, follow my voice.
[06:39] Never apply.
[06:43] But you know who can apply?
[06:43] You.
[06:43] Let's go.
[06:46] Job application.
[06:48] Let's check someone.
[06:51] You don't know who he is.

[07:00] And also, yes, you're going to see this butterfly a lot.
[07:03] Watch out for this guy.
[07:05] Chemistry, bot, and containment.
[07:17] Oh my goodness.
[07:20] It's a hurricane in the room.
[07:20] Ever thought about being...
[07:21] What the [ __ ] was that?
[07:23] Well, we're offering you a once in a-lifetime opportunity.
[07:27] What was that?
[07:33] The Okay.
[07:33] Okay.
[07:39] I built the stage.
[07:39] Me?
[07:39] I built the stack.
[07:42] I swear it.
[07:44] That was pretty funny.
[07:46] All under the guidance of our CEO.
[07:51] Oh, Patrick Adams.
[07:54] Oh, welcome gentlemen to Variation Tech.
[07:57] Engineers, tinkerers, fieldmen, and dreamers.
[07:57] You are all here to accomplish the things that others are too scared to touch.
[08:03] We believe that our goals can be achieved through perseverance and hard work.
[08:08] We don't let AI do any of our LEG WORK.
[08:13] YEAH, TELL THEM.
[08:13] TELL THEM, PATRICK.
[08:17] CARTER, NO.
[08:19] I really don't have time to do this right now.
[08:22] Please refrain from calling the landline during training videos like Carter here.
[08:27] Find somebody to do it.
[08:29] Thank you.
[08:30] Bye.
[08:32] Awkward.
[08:33] Now then, let me introduce myself.
[08:37] I'm Patrick Adams, CEO of Variation Tech, appointed by Phoebe.
[08:44] Knox.
[08:45] Yes, that Phoebe Knox.
[08:48] She handed me the keys to this old machine and said, "Hey, you're going to figure this out yourself."
[08:54] Well, I'm still working on that.
[08:56] And I'm not going to lie to you.
[08:57] The machine's been a little ahead of me here lately.
[09:00] LATE LATE.
[09:01] WHY IN GOD'S NAME IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?
[09:04] HEY.
[09:05] HEY, SOMEBODY GET OVER HERE.
[09:06] PLEASE TURN THE MACHINE OFF.
[09:08] What the hell happened in here?
[09:10] Wipe the arm.
[09:11] Oh my god.
[09:13] I don't know.
[09:14] He fell.
[09:15] He just fell straight through.
[09:16] Get out of here.
[09:17] Traitor, be with us.
[09:19] Cut the power now.
[09:20] Uh Patrick, are you good?
[09:21] What are you doing?
[09:22] I SAW HIM FALL.
[09:23] GET ME OUT OF HERE.
[09:29] I'm sure he's fine.
[09:29] I'm sure he's okay.
[09:32] It's just technical difficulties, you know.
[09:35] Adrien James Carter II.
[09:39] No experience necessary.
[09:39] Pay training provided.
[09:45] How much longer do we have to pick up this residue?
[09:52] Long enough for agent cart to grow back his vein so he can tear us apart.
[09:58] Now boys, you're making more difficult.
[10:03] Oh no, he's in here with us.
[10:03] Get in the chamber.
[10:15] And full access to our state-of-the-art facilities here in South Zion.
[10:15] I slash bring the SP to life.
[10:27] Is this Detective?
[10:29] What?
[10:29] When I saw this also?
[10:32] Yeah, that was me.
[10:34] Yeah, that was me, guys.
[10:38] Wait, wait, wait.
[10:41] Yeah, that's me.
[10:41] I'm on TV.
[10:41] Look, I did.
[10:41] Oh my goodness.
[10:46] Yeah, Elias Vanguard.
[10:46] Yes, I have a twin brother, Zenith Vanguard.
[10:53] We'll get into this scene in a bit when we talk about stuff going over it.
[10:59] But, uh, something happened.
[10:59] Also, what the hell is this?
[11:04] Like what is that?
[11:07] This looks like something you'd find in a freaking action movie.
[11:11] Like what is this laser?
[11:11] What?
[11:14] This universe has laser weapons.
[11:18] Is this Detective White of the WZ Bureau, also known as David White and Frankie Zervis?
[11:21] Depends.
[11:24] Who's asking?
[11:29] Danny Z.
[11:29] Front desk of the Zion pillar.
[11:32] Office of the President.
[11:35] We're looking to bring you both on board for an assignment.
[11:38] Oh, sure you are.
[11:42] HEY, FRANK, GET THIS.
[11:46] SAYS HE'S calling from the president's office.
[11:54] Oh, fion.
[11:54] The future isn't waiting.
[11:57] Apply today and take the first steps into what comes next at
[12:04] I wonder why
[12:08] Joseline run.
[12:10] That just said there darling.
[12:13] I didn't think that would actually work.
[12:15] Maybe I'm getting better at this.
[12:18] So, you're Arthur's friend, aren't you?
[12:21] Joselyn, is it?
[12:24] He was always so desperate to escape.
[12:27] Why?
[12:27] Why is he not speaking?
[12:29] Wh Why is his mouth not moving?
[12:31] But when you're made of skin, darling,
[12:33] Are you speaking through my mind?
[12:39] Oh, oh, now his mouth is open.
[12:46] Very.
[12:46] Well, that escalated.
[12:56] There's a goddamn bear inside her skin.
[13:00] That is enough, bro.
[13:02] For the fifth time, you got to shave that mustache.
[13:22] The Aarian Show.
[13:29] I seek that.
[13:35] Which is mine.
[13:39] Oh, okay.
[13:39] Okay.
[13:39] Creepy voice.
[13:45] And that's the trailer.
[13:47] And now they're going to show everyone that's working.
[13:49] You guys maybe recognize some of these people if you're in the analog horror scene because they have some big names in this as well.
[14:03] Also, a ton of artists.
[14:09] So much art went into this.
[14:11] There's so much good art in it.
[14:20] And shout out to all of these people.
[14:22] Like, I'm honored to be part of this, man.
[14:26] Lazarus, come forth.
[14:30] Wilhelm.
[14:32] Does Lazarus come forth mean anything to you?
[14:33] I don't even know what a Lazarus is.
[14:36] All right.
[14:37] Whatever.
[14:40] Buffalo, how about this?
[14:41] I'm going to stick here with the car.
[14:42] Make sure he doesn't try to pull a fast one on us.
[14:44] You head out into the woods with the camera boy.
[14:46] See if you can find anything.
[14:47] All right.
[14:48] Aren't you the one that wanted to get your boots dirty?
[14:50] Well, go on, bud.
[14:53] You with me.
[14:55] I've been partnering up with
[14:58] That's the next episode.
[15:00] Wait.
[15:02] But yeah, that is the trailer for the series.
[15:05] Um, it basically just gives an overview of everything that you're going to see in this um immediately.
[15:13] So, so what we're going to do now, I'm going to try and sort of dissect things.
[15:16] Okay.
[15:22] So, immediately we have this situation where we have this news report about two young girls who went missing um but then sort of came back changed almost if we if we hear it again.
[15:36] The
[15:37] Unspeakable murder of Ellie Higgs, who had been the fourth,
[15:41] And the murder of someone called Ellie Higs.
[15:43] Also, all of this art, like all of the like character designs, this is all art made by people.
[15:47] Again, so much art uh and style went into this.
[15:52] Um, if you guys love art, I would say this analog horror series a lot as well is unique in the fact that there's a lot of good art that comes out of it, especially when it comes to like character designs and whatnot.
[16:04] Um, which is why I feel like it it's it's just so nice to see, you know?
[16:14] So, you're going to see a lot of that.
[16:15] We have a murder of someone called Ellie Higgs along with what he said disappearances forced to disappear this year alone within the town of Oakwood in a town called Oakwood WZ which stands for is it Western Zion?
[16:34] This this place this sort of um uh
[16:39] Analog horror takes place in a fictional town or city, um, or state I think called Zion.
[16:46] You're going to be hearing a lot of Zion.
[16:49] Okay, there are two factions in this, by the way.
[16:54] Like you're, you're going to hear quite a lot of mentions of Zion and then Variant Labs, which is also something that is going to get mentioned in this.
[17:05] Following Senator Moore's daughters, Ethel and Aurelia, each one found days later, changed.
[17:13] Yeah.
[17:16] So, we then also have the tale of these two, um, girls who go missing, but then come back changed in some way.
[17:22] We're going to learn about those two as well.
[17:26] From what I remember, we, we do get more information, obviously, on these two.
[17:29] But immediately, we have this instance of people missing, someone dying, people changing, you know, you know, typical, typical horror, horror setting type of.
[17:40] Beat.
[17:43] And according to this news anchor and according to many people, the culprit is named.
[17:48] Locals say it all points to one company south of the city.
[17:51] It looks like for Variant Labs.
[17:58] That's what I'm in.
[18:00] That's what I'm part of.
[18:03] And then I love how immediately we go to this sort of promotional ad almost.
[18:11] So, Variant Labs again is another huge faction you're going to be hearing in this series and it's, you know, sort of a tech sort of company, a lab.
[18:16] Uh, they do a lot of scientific experiments and so on.
[18:24] And it looks like from this ad that they are hiring people.
[18:29] And also actually there is actually an application form for this.
[18:39] They actually have an.
[18:42] Application form in here which is I think really cool.
[18:45] I think we'll go into this as well.
[18:48] So quickly with the variant labs application form, it sort of feels like your typical sort of interview styled screening process.
[18:56] You answer questions to test the skills and see if those skills are beneficial to the job that you're applying for.
[19:05] And then you have questions like, I don't know, do you like the color orange?
[19:09] If not, then good luck because freaking Curios is your mascot.
[19:14] You're going to need to probably like orange in my opinion.
[19:19] But that's just me.
[19:19] I'd say the biggest important detail in this form is who wrote this form.
[19:25] It has a very important name.
[19:29] And that person is Janine Lee Coldwell.
[19:36] All I'm going to say is that you're going to hear the name Janine a lot.
[19:39] Another very cool
[19:43] Thing which I didn't notice initially at first, but there's a link that says Z Y50 next to Janine, and if you press that it actually takes you to a separate application form that of Zion.
[20:01] So as I already mentioned, there are two factions in this series so far that we have: variant labs and then Zion, the sort of state or city in which this series takes place in really.
[20:15] So we have our Zion relations form, which also gives a little context to how Zion is like and how it runs things.
[20:23] This form is as if you'd be applying for like a sort of governmental or like security military sort of role in the city.
[20:29] So very cool little things.
[20:31] Again, on the channel trailer episode, you can find the link to these in their description.
[20:39] So hey, if you want to reply to those places, I don't know, be my guest.
[20:42] And I wish you all the best of.
[20:44] luck.
[20:46] And then we get all this stuff. We have
[20:48] We have liinal. Do you guys like liinal
[20:50] horror? Do you guys like liinal spaces?
[20:53] Well, here you go. We got some liinal
[20:56] spaces going on. And yes, this is the
[21:00] mascot.
[21:01] Um, am I allowed to say it now or would
[21:04] it be a spoiler? I don't think it's a
[21:06] spoiler. It's in the description, too.
[21:08] But this is the mascot for Variant Labs.
[21:12] This is Curio Cosmo. Okay, bro. A
[21:18] butterfly with glasses and a trench coat
[21:23] and a turtleneck jumper and pants.
[21:28] Um, thank god it's not a moth. I would
[21:31] be terrified. Um, and I've seen, I'm not
[21:34] going to lie, a lot of fans really like
[21:37] this dude. And honestly, he looks really
[21:40] cute, doesn't he? But yeah, he is the um
[21:45] he is the um he is the he's the mascot
[21:48] for this place. Don't um worry about
[21:52] someone being trapped in a Venus fly
[21:54] trap. Um, that's inconsistent. Here's
[21:57] something weird.
[22:05] What is that?
[22:07] What the [ __ ] is that? This tentacle
[22:10] thing. We actually see this thing twice
[22:13] where the second time is when I'm in the
[22:15] scene. So, we have a scene here. Okay, I
[22:18] might as well explain this where Elias
[22:21] Vanguard and their brother Zenith and
[22:24] Matthew I think forgotten their name.
[22:26] Matthew Henderson. Yeah, Matthew
[22:28] Henderson. So that us three um we go to
[22:33] wherever the godamn hell this space is.
[22:36] Cuz holy [ __ ] this looks like a massive
[22:40] warehouse. And and here we also see this
[22:44] thing. Do you see that?
[22:47] Do you see that? It's right there. This
[22:49] like weird tentacle like monster thing.
[22:52] Venom. You think it's Venom? Where's
[22:55] Spider-Man when you need him? But yeah,
[22:57] we have this weird tentacle monster
[22:59] thing, too. I have no idea what that is,
[23:02] and I don't think I want to know. And
[23:03] then we have
[23:07] the star of the show.
[23:11] Uh, we'll get to him soon,
[23:13] but he's a he's kind of a big deal. Um,
[23:16] all under the guidance of our CEO,
[23:21] Patrick Adams.
[23:22] And then we have Patrick Adams here, CEO
[23:24] of Variant Tech. Although,
[23:28] welcome, gentlemen, to
[23:29] something happens to him.
[23:31] What the hell happened in here? Why is
[23:33] the arm Oh my god.
[23:35] I don't know. He He fell. He He JUST
[23:37] FELL STRAIGHT THROUGH.
[23:38] GET ME OUT OF HERE.
[23:42] UM, YEAH. UH, I'm sure he's okay. Um,
[23:47] and then we go back to Zion. So, it
[23:51] looks like Zion is basically like a sort
[23:54] of state
[23:56] which is run by an like governmental
[23:59] organization possibly which is running
[24:01] the city. And again, we're going to
[24:03] learn a lot more about these two. Again,
[24:05] my knowledge of this stuff is also
[24:09] distant because I haven't seen this
[24:11] series in like such a long time. So, my
[24:15] also um understanding of the ins and
[24:17] outs of what's going on here are going
[24:18] to be also just like you guys is going
[24:20] to be a little bit, you know, I I don't
[24:23] know what's going on fully at the
[24:24] moment. But I guess the big take-home
[24:26] message chat is that there are stuff is
[24:30] happening behind the scenes and it
[24:32] involves the state of Zion
[24:36] and
[24:39] variation tech or variant labs. One
[24:43] final thing before we go into the next
[24:45] episode. There is a part of the channel
[24:47] trailer where we see this screen. It
[24:50] says John 11:44,
[24:52] poison of God, language of bleeding jaw.
[24:57] Um, I searched up John 11:44 and it
[25:00] takes us to like a Bible verse which
[25:03] talks about someone called Lazarus being
[25:07] resurrected from the dead. So that means
[25:12] what? We're going to have resurrection
[25:15] in this, which is kind of nuts. But if
[25:19] we know the trope of people being
[25:21] resurrected from the dead, I think
[25:24] there's a common trend that stuff like
[25:27] that doesn't end very well. But
[25:30] nonetheless, it's a very interesting
[25:33] point to remember as we go further into
[25:38] the series. This next episode is going
[25:40] to be the official like proper start to
[25:43] the series. Um, this one is called The
[25:46] Guest. This is like the proper first
[25:49] sort of episode. Again, it's going to
[25:52] feel a little bit different to your
[25:53] typical analog horror, okay? Because who
[25:56] the hell is this? You may be asking,
[25:58] I've been partnering up with every
[26:00] single one of my followers to be in a
[26:02] completely free and insanely sick photo
[26:06] shoot. And I'm not exaggerating when I
[26:07] say every single follower. That means
[26:09] you you could be a part of the series.
[26:11] Hey, one more question. Why are you guys
[26:13] making me do this again? In each
[26:15] episode, I'll pick a random follower who
[26:17] will bring their favorite movies,
[26:18] styles, aesthetics, fandoms, or
[26:21] whatever, and collaborate it with my
[26:23] mentally unstable brain. No matter how
[26:26] far away they are, nor quirky or
[26:28] creative they may be, we will create.
[26:31] Thank you for the microphone. Thank you.
[26:33] Thank you. Thank you. On tonight's
[26:34] episode, I would like to present our
[26:37] feature guest, our feature follower,
[26:41] straight from Colombia. I think it's
[26:43] Columbia, South Carolina is
[26:56] Hey,
[27:02] so you can already tell this may seem a
[27:05] little bit awkward. Just just roll with
[27:08] it. Okay, this is this is what I mean.
[27:12] Good to see you. Welcome. Welcome to the
[27:14] show.
[27:14] It's good to be here. You look good.
[27:16] Thanks. You, too. You, too. How you
[27:18] been?
[27:19] I've been doing really good. You know,
[27:20] just hanging out in the ether.
[27:22] Sorry about the whole uh closet thing.
[27:23] Uh
[27:24] Yeah, that was Yeah, that was fine.
[27:25] Yeah. Did you get lost in there? Are you
[27:26] okay?
[27:26] No, there's like nowhere to go really.
[27:28] It's just I was stuck for a long time.
[27:30] I guess the producers must have run out
[27:31] of room or something. I don't know.
[27:32] It's just endless like clothes.
[27:35] Endless.
[27:36] I didn't search that far. I kept getting
[27:38] lost.
[27:38] Huh.
[27:39] It's really furry.
[27:40] That's strange.
[27:40] I got sleepy. a couple points.
[27:42] Huh. Weird.
[27:43] So, why don't you go ahead and introduce
[27:45] yourself to the audience?
[27:46] For sure. Hey guys, I'm Arthur. My
[27:48] friends call me Rat. You know, like the
[27:50] rodent. Rodent live in the closet,
[27:52] apparently.
[27:52] Now, tell us a fun fact about yourself.
[27:54] Fun fact, just one
[27:56] or or multiple. Multiple works, too.
[27:58] We'll keep it at one, cuz this one's
[28:00] this one's a showstopper. I've got all
[28:02] my rabies vaccinations. Feel free to
[28:04] send some rats at me.
[28:05] Now, tell us about some of your favorite
[28:07] aesthetics.
[28:08] Oo, something that's come on to my radar
[28:10] lately. I would have to say, what's
[28:13] that? Opium Core. Okay, it's more of a
[28:16] newer take on goth. It's cool. You got
[28:18] those baggy jeans. More of a lax fit.
[28:20] Final question. Who would you like to
[28:22] see in a photo shoot next?
[28:24] My good friend Jason Moth Boy. I don't
[28:26] know if he follows you, but he's just a
[28:28] little punk dude. Always running around
[28:29] the streets of Columbia. He's a little
[28:31] Starbucks barista.
[28:32] Jason doesn't enjoy uh captivity. We
[28:35] then began collaborating on the actual
[28:37] photo shoot idea, the outfits, the
[28:39] props, and the theme. And with both our
[28:42] minds combined, this was the final
[28:45] result.
[28:46] This photo shoot was inspired by dark
[28:49] fantasy and music by added color.
[28:55] That is the first episode of this analog
[28:57] horror.
[28:59] So immediately, it's weird, isn't it?
[29:02] It's kind of different. It's not like,
[29:04] oh, you have your VHS static and and
[29:08] then you have like text which says um in
[29:12] 1960 your mom um disappeared off the
[29:15] side of the road and and was never
[29:17] found. It doesn't start off like that.
[29:19] This is immediately something different.
[29:22] So, we have this person um this guy's
[29:25] called Mason.
[29:28] Okay? And this guy is making a show.
[29:31] He's he's now making a show called the
[29:34] Avarian Show. And what he does is, as he
[29:39] explained, he picks people from his
[29:41] followers list and then brings them into
[29:45] the show to do sort of creative work or
[29:48] like photo shoots, as he says it. It's
[29:51] kind of giving the vibe of like a fun
[29:53] little show idea for the internet for
[29:56] people to see. The the first guest in
[29:58] this is this is essentially the first
[30:00] episode of it. See, so we have this guy
[30:03] who's coming in um called Rat, I guess
[30:07] he calls himself, aka Arthur. He's the
[30:10] first guest in this. Uh note what he
[30:13] says though when he sits down. Hold on.
[30:16] Good to be here.
[30:17] Just note something he says here about
[30:20] how he got to this place. Okay. Uh but
[30:24] where does he say it?
[30:25] Closet thing I've been doing.
[30:27] So he specifically something about the
[30:30] closet. So obviously he had to get to
[30:32] this place, but listen listen to how he
[30:35] describes it.
[30:37] Really good, you know, just hanging out
[30:39] in the ether.
[30:40] Sorry about the whole uh closet thing.
[30:42] Uh
[30:42] yeah, that was Yeah, that was fine.
[30:43] Yeah. Did you get lost in there? Are you
[30:44] okay?
[30:45] No, there's like nowhere to go really.
[30:46] It's just I was stuck for a long time.
[30:48] I guess the producers must have run out
[30:50] of room or something. I don't know.
[30:51] It's just endless like clothes.
[30:53] Endless
[30:55] endless clothes.
[30:58] just clothes and then boom, you find
[31:00] yourself here. I've never been in a show
[31:03] before, but I don't think that's normal.
[31:06] And it's endless.
[31:09] I didn't search that far. I kept getting
[31:11] lost. Oh,
[31:12] he kept getting lost. To be fair, if you
[31:15] go to like a new studio, you know,
[31:18] you're you're new to the place, you can
[31:20] get lost. But the description of endless
[31:23] is the big outlier in this. Why is it
[31:26] endless? Yeah, the the use of endless.
[31:29] He sits them down. The whole idea of the
[31:31] show is that he just it's like a talk
[31:33] show, right? It it gives the vibe of
[31:36] like a talk show. So, he gets people to
[31:38] come in, sit down, have a chat with
[31:40] them, and then boom, photo shoot, and
[31:44] that's it. And uh apparently, Jason,
[31:46] you're next. Um, watch out Jason.
[31:50] Theme dark fantasy. Again, a lot of this
[31:53] show I love, what I love about this is
[31:56] that again, art, the theme of art. Okay,
[32:01] a lot of art you're going to see in
[32:03] this. A lot of artistic views you're
[32:04] going to see in this. And I like that it
[32:07] sort of is a different
[32:09] sort of I it's very different to what
[32:12] you see in typical you know analog
[32:16] horrors which thing where things are a
[32:18] little bit more serious you know and
[32:20] darker but from this first episode you
[32:24] get the vibe of like you know
[32:26] thank you thank you thank you
[32:27] on tonight's episode I would like to
[32:30] present our feature guest our feature
[32:34] you know it gives the vibe of like a
[32:36] 2010
[32:38] student college video project. A little
[32:43] bit awkward at times, which you may see
[32:45] a lot more of later on. It's sort of,
[32:47] you know, out of nowhere. It seems
[32:50] random. Now remember we just earlier
[32:53] we're talking about Zion and Variant
[32:56] Labs and then bof we have this episode
[32:58] here and we have this random guy who's
[33:02] making a
[33:05] talk show with people which is
[33:07] completely different to what we saw from
[33:10] that channel trailer for example. Um so
[33:13] again very peculiar. Okay of course this
[33:17] is just a title. So, this was the guest.
[33:20] My debut show has finally found its way
[33:23] to you. Next episode, this one's 12
[33:26] minutes, so this one's a little bit
[33:27] longer. This one is called Vinka
[33:31] Avarian. Today on the Avarian Show, we
[33:34] welcome in we welcome the lovely and
[33:37] enigmatic Vinker. It looks like this is
[33:40] just going to be another episode of that
[33:42] talk show, and this time it's going to
[33:44] be with someone called Vinka. So are we
[33:47] ready?
[33:51] Ah, we start with variant
[33:52] communications. Okay.
[33:57] And welcome back to the show.
[34:01] Oh,
[34:05] Janine, did I have those in my mouth be
[34:07] before I started?
[34:10] What the Janine?
[34:13] Where's my real microphone? I mean, this
[34:15] is what a podcast is supposed to be
[34:17] like.
[34:18] Oh,
[34:18] you know, plant in the middle, TV.
[34:22] Um, and my note cards, of course.
[34:26] And my note cards.
[34:32] Okay. Have my Mac. Wait. What was that?
[34:36] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
[34:37] wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
[34:39] wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
[34:40] wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
[34:41] wait,
[34:43] we woo. First of all, hold up.
[34:48] Who's that? What does that say? Face
[34:52] faces.
[34:53] Have you Have you seen this person?
[34:58] There's a symbol down there, too. What
[35:00] is he wearing?
[35:02] Okay.
[35:05] Hello angel.
[35:08] Okay. And then we continue going and
[35:10] then we have this. What is this?
[35:13] Something is required to
[35:17] something something in the facility.
[35:20] Whether that something something
[35:23] ridiculous
[35:25] is something. Oh my god. I uh cream or
[35:29] cream.
[35:31] Ice cream. That says ice cream. What? or
[35:34] something much more obvious like a
[35:38] redacted ine. Keep in mind I do expect
[35:41] your end of the agreement to stand
[35:46] something eight tra what does that say
[35:51] then something than
[35:55] Faze Zion's that says Faze Zion
[36:00] Faze
[36:01] Zion's hair after a political outburst.
[36:05] You know what would happen if you if
[36:09] your side of the of this went belly up?
[36:13] Whoa. What? What is this convers? What
[36:15] is this transactional
[36:19] business? Believe me, your something
[36:22] something with exactly
[36:24] sinc. This is a letter. Oh, okay. Okay.
[36:27] Okay. It said sincerely right there.
[36:29] This is a letter. Okay.
[36:32] Immediately now I was talking about in
[36:34] the last episode. How has this show got
[36:37] to do with Variant Labs and Zion? And
[36:39] boom, we go to this episode and the
[36:42] episode starts with Variant Labs and
[36:45] then goes to this. Okay, I'm not going
[36:46] to and we're going to go back in a
[36:48] second.
[36:50] Right. Okay. Have my microphone. Come
[36:54] back here. Mr. Plant got the plant back.
[36:57] Okay, we're good to go. Welcome back
[37:00] everyone to the Avaron Show. We're doing
[37:03] things a little differently. It's
[37:04] different because this time I'm sitting
[37:07] down. For those of you out there that
[37:09] are new and don't know what the Avarion
[37:11] Show is about, let me explain. The Aaron
[37:14] Show is all about creativity,
[37:16] aesthetics, getting to meet new people
[37:18] like you, and learning new things about
[37:21] people like you. And of course, most
[37:24] importantly, collaboration.
[37:28] In each episode, I will pick a rand
[37:31] collaboration
[37:34] variant labs
[37:35] random person from one of my social
[37:37] media platforms, whether that be
[37:38] Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube, wherever,
[37:41] and have them right here on the show.
[37:45] The best part is neither distance nor
[37:48] imagination matters. Whether I bring the
[37:50] show to them, all of you guys out there,
[37:53] or I bring you
[37:56] to the show
[38:01] if you didn't see the
[38:02] I did not like how serious that looked.
[38:04] Here. Anyways, let's get back to
[38:07] tonight's guest. I am so excited for all
[38:10] of you out there and all of you out
[38:11] there to meet tonight's guest. Tonight's
[38:15] guest is from South Carolina. However,
[38:18] she's currently in the process of moving
[38:20] to Asheville, North Carolina. In a few
[38:22] words, she's a gothic collector of all
[38:25] things strange and unimaginable. She's
[38:28] Edgar Allen Jinn, what was his name
[38:30] again?
[38:32] Edgar Allen Poe's sidekick. And of
[38:35] course, the most important factor of her
[38:37] of all is that she's a Victorian
[38:40] goddess. I was also mistakenly thinking
[38:42] that her name was Liz this whole time,
[38:45] and it wasn't. I got confused because
[38:47] her username says life from nowhere, but
[38:49] for some reason my brain read it as Liz
[38:51] from nowhere.
[38:52] Ladies, gentlemen, they and anyone else
[38:56] out there and out there, please put your
[38:59] hands together for the mysterious, the
[39:02] ethereal, the dark, and twisted.
[39:09] Woo! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
[39:14] Hey, look at this. Hi.
[39:16] Hi.
[39:17] Hello. Thank you, too.
[39:19] Take a seat.
[39:20] Thank you. Happy to be here.
[39:22] So, tell me, Vena, did you perhaps have
[39:24] trouble getting here,
[39:26] you know? Yeah, a little bit. It was I
[39:29] It's a little bit of a blur. I don't
[39:30] really I don't know what happened. I
[39:32] just
[39:32] Did any of the assistants on stage like
[39:34] help you at all? Did Did you see any?
[39:36] You have assistants?
[39:37] Yeah, I have assistants.
[39:38] Oh, I didn't know you had any
[39:39] assistance. I don't see any assistants.
[39:42] Where are the assistants?
[39:44] be my guest and introduce yourself to
[39:46] the audience.
[39:46] Yeah, absolutely. Hi. Hello. My name is
[39:48] Vena. I like to say that I am a
[39:51] connoisseur of dark and alternative
[39:53] vintage and antiques. Basically, that
[39:56] means that I sell vintage and antiques,
[39:59] like vintage clothing, antique chachkis
[40:01] and whatnot. Um, most of what I sell
[40:04] right now I just sell at Inerson
[40:06] markets. So, like oddities shows,
[40:08] markets, stuff like that. But, you know,
[40:10] we're trying to dabble in some online
[40:13] realm stuff, but uh we'll see where that
[40:16] goes.
[40:17] So, tell us, Vinka, how have you been?
[40:19] You know, I've been really good. I've
[40:21] been pretty busy. Like busy. Busy busy.
[40:23] Super busy.
[40:24] Super busy. Crazy busy.
[40:26] Keeping busy is always a good thing,
[40:28] especially when you're when you're an
[40:29] artist.
[40:30] I It really is. You can You can go
[40:31] insane if you're not busy. Like just
[40:33] sitting there stewing. Nothing to do.
[40:35] Absolutely. What have you been up to
[40:36] lately?
[40:37] Oh my god, so much. So much. I've been
[40:39] doing markets, sourcing, traveling,
[40:43] traveling,
[40:44] traveling.
[40:45] Do you get used to traveling like a lot?
[40:47] I mean, for you know, for your business
[40:48] and for for your for being an artist
[40:51] overall.
[40:52] I don't know. You It's like you kind of
[40:53] get used to it like the act of traveling
[40:56] isn't as like because, you know, I had
[40:58] somebody message me the other day. They
[40:59] said like, "Oh, four hours? That's such
[41:01] a crazy drive to me." I'm like, "Four
[41:02] hours? Ain't dog like what do you mean?"
[41:04] But, uh, yeah, you get used to like the
[41:06] act of traveling, but I don't know. You
[41:08] never get used to like just constantly
[41:10] doing it all the time. It's just like I
[41:11] feel like the entire month is just gone
[41:14] like that because I've been gone for
[41:15] half of it. So you I don't know. In some
[41:17] ways you get used to it, in some ways
[41:18] you don't.
[41:19] So tell me, what does a person with a
[41:21] goth aesthetic do in their spare time?
[41:23] So I mean these days not a whole lot
[41:25] honestly. Um back back in the day back
[41:29] when I was 21 um I used to like I used
[41:32] to live up in New Jersey and New York
[41:33] and you know I'd go to the goth clubs
[41:35] and you know we'd go out and we'd party.
[41:37] But these days, I I'm an old lady. I
[41:40] don't know if I look it, but I am almost
[41:42] 30. So, I spend 95.5%
[41:47] of my time either thrifting or at
[41:49] markets. And when I'm not doing that, I
[41:53] damn so busy.
[41:54] I like I like to go on hikes. Okay, that
[41:56] is the one weird thing actually. I feel
[41:57] like a lot of people look at me and like
[41:59] the general like goth stereotype, if you
[42:02] will, is very like,
[42:04] you know, dark, gloomy.
[42:07] I I love going outside. I live in the
[42:10] mountains, so I go hiking whenever I
[42:12] can. I'm very like Yeah, most of the
[42:14] time I'm just hanging at home with my
[42:16] cat, REDECORATING MY HOUSE.
[42:18] KITTY.
[42:20] YEAH, most of the time.
[42:22] Kitty.
[42:26] I I already love this guest. This
[42:29] Kitty. I I already love this guest. This
[42:29] is my favorite episode.
[42:31] Redecorating the house 27 times a week.
[42:34] Just hanging. I don't really do a whole
[42:36] lot anymore these days. I've calmed
[42:37] down.
[42:39] Is your phone buzzing?
[42:40] Is my phone what?
[42:41] Is your phone buzzing?
[42:42] Oh.
[42:45] Oh, I have a question from someone out
[42:48] in the audience.
[42:49] Oh,
[42:50] this person asks if
[42:52] Wait,
[42:54] no, no, that would make sense. There is
[42:55] an audience. Wait, why did why why did
[42:57] she do the why did she do the peak thing
[42:59] as if she doesn't see the Wait,
[43:03] if someone wants to get into the goth
[43:05] aesthetic but doesn't know how, where
[43:07] should they start?
[43:09] Oh my god, I am so glad you asked. It is
[43:11] so much easier than people realize. You
[43:13] don't have to go online and buy all
[43:15] these expensive goth clothes from these
[43:17] goth brands that charge like5 billion
[43:20] dollars for a dress. Go to the thrift
[43:22] stores, find the vintage clothes. It's
[43:25] goth started goth one take notes
[43:28] DIY form like there was no goth when
[43:30] goths were born people just went out and
[43:33] even if you can't find black clothes you
[43:35] just go rit dye
[43:37] dye your clothes dye the clothes you
[43:39] already have that easy dye the clothes
[43:41] you already have go thrifting go to like
[43:45] estate sales and go to local markets go
[43:48] to like alternative like punk and
[43:52] oddities and goth markets there'll be
[43:54] people there that either have already
[43:56] curated stuff like this or there's going
[43:58] to be people who make their own clothes.
[44:00] You can support local artists. But yeah,
[44:02] so with the goth aesthetic, I just
[44:05] Oh,
[44:07] hold on. How How did I get here?
[44:11] What?
[44:12] How How did I get here?
[44:16] How did you get where on on the show?
[44:19] Here. How How did I get here? Vinka, you
[44:23] remember how you got here.
[44:25] No, I
[44:27] Vinka. Vinka, look at me. You remember
[44:30] how you got here. Remember, my name is
[44:32] Mason. This is the Avarian Show.
[44:35] Do you hear that?
[44:36] I'm sorry to interrupt you. Do you hear
[44:38] that?
[44:39] Hear what?
[44:41] That not You don't hear that loud noise?
[44:43] I swear I hear
[44:45] What is that?
[44:46] Oh no. What is that?
[44:48] I Where is that coming from? Vinka, I I
[44:52] don't What do you hear? I don't hear

[45:02] Vinka,
[45:04] I don't hear anything.
[45:08] You're right. I'm being silly. I'm being
[45:13] Holy [ __ ] I liked that. Hold on. Whoa.
[45:17] I liked that sequence there. We've I
[45:20] think we've heard of that alarm sound
[45:22] before in the previous episode, maybe
[45:23] too. I don't remember. But this is the
[45:26] first instance, you know, last, you
[45:30] know, the last show that the last
[45:33] episode in the show, you know, the guy
[45:34] said he was like in an endless clothes
[45:37] world, whatever to get to this place,
[45:40] right? But he sort of like chilled out
[45:42] about it and didn't do care too much.
[45:46] something then triggers
[45:48] and I think it's like there was a lot of
[45:50] hidden messages. Yeah, I'm thinking of
[45:52] waiting to do it at should I do it now?
[45:54] I don't know when to like cuz I'm also
[45:56] going to like go into the video again.
[45:57] So yeah, she mentions a lot about Gothic
[45:59] stuff but yeah, something triggers it.
[46:01] Is it like
[46:06] Yeah, something then happens
[46:09] as she's explaining her thing.
[46:12] Home and Sport Edition.
[46:17] Is that a diagram of something? Uh, what
[46:21] is that? It looks green. Zion, is that
[46:25] you? Oh, hold on. The
[46:29] the key. Does that say Do you make out
[46:34] what that says, chat? 18 cents.
[46:41] Yeah, I think I'm seeing the key too
[46:43] actually. Yeah. Something something
[46:48] he
[46:50] leaves leaves
[46:53] cancelled. I think that does that say
[46:56] cancelled
[46:57] that says cancelled. So you you can now
[47:01] start to see that and especially from
[47:04] this episode there's something up with
[47:06] this show. this seemingly random sort of
[47:10] show that this guy Mason is doing.
[47:14] You know, there's something weird about
[47:16] this. And you even see some noticeable
[47:20] change in behavior in Mason himself when
[47:22] this is going on. Oh god. Wait, there
[47:25] was something else. No. Chamber alarm
[47:30] on. That's the alarm they're hearing.
[47:32] She hears an alarm. She suddenly like it
[47:36] was almost like her mind she like loses
[47:38] memory all of a sudden and then she's
[47:40] like confused on where she is like she's
[47:42] just woken up or something. Mason bro
[47:45] over here doesn't know what's going on.
[47:47] He says he doesn't hear the alarm but
[47:50] like the way he said it at the end too.
[47:53] Don't
[47:56] think I don't hear anything.
[48:02] Why does he say it like that? I don't
[48:06] hear anything.
[48:09] And then everything goes back to normal.
[48:11] We'll continue the episode till the end.
[48:13] I'm being silly. I'm being so silly.
[48:16] There wasn't any noise.
[48:18] I didn't hear anything.
[48:19] There was nothing. I
[48:20] You didn't hear anything? I didn't hear
[48:21] anything.
[48:22] I didn't hear anything.
[48:28] So, do you have any fun facts about
[48:29] yourself?
[48:30] Ooh.
[48:31] Yes. Um,
[48:32] and then everything just goes normally
[48:34] fine.
[48:34] Last word to clean up for a living
[48:36] really.
[48:36] Mhm. Like cleaning up dead bodies
[48:38] basically. Um,
[48:40] was that something you just applied for
[48:41] like online or was it
[48:44] No. So
[48:46] I had moved to New Jersey. I had no job.
[48:49] I was living with a friend for free and
[48:52] I was just like, you know what? I should
[48:54] get a job. And a friend of mine, she
[48:57] actually she was the supervisor at the
[48:59] place and she was just like there's
[49:00] there's a very high turnover rate in
[49:02] that job and they were like somebody and
[49:05] so I just went in and I met the owner
[49:08] and he was like all right you can
[49:10] biohazard cleanup.
[49:12] Okay, cool.
[49:13] Did you enjoy your job?
[49:14] Oh,
[49:16] except the only downside was you're in
[49:20] the middle of summer. Northern New
[49:21] Jersey. Fun fact, Northern New Jersey is
[49:24] hot as balls. It's like so it's like
[49:28] middle of summer, you're in full hazmat,
[49:31] and dude, those things, I mean, you lose
[49:33] a lot of water weight.
[49:36] Like, that was the only downside. But it
[49:38] was a fun job. Something different every
[49:39] day. It was It was a perfect amount of
[49:41] time to have a job like that. It was
[49:42] just like I get to say I did this and
[49:44] experience it, but not do it too long to
[49:46] where I want to kill myself, you know?
[49:48] The viewers want to know, what's your
[49:50] favorite piece of clothing in your
[49:52] collection?
[49:53] My favorite piece of clothing? Let me
[49:56] think.
[49:58] Let me think.
[50:01] Think, are you okay?
[50:02] Whoa, whoa, whoa. I hear music.
[50:05] Where are you?
[50:06] Oh, no. It's happening again.
[50:08] What do you You were just answering the
[50:10] question. What's your most favorite
[50:12] piece of clothing in your collection?
[50:14] Yeah, but where are we right now?
[50:16] We're We're Vinka. Va, remember what I
[50:18] was telling you before? We're on It's
[50:21] called the Avarian Show. We're supposed
[50:22] to be doing a photo together. Remember?
[50:24] Yeah. But like I'm talking like the
[50:26] exact location. Like what time zone are
[50:29] we in right now? Where where are we?
[50:33] I know. I don't
[50:37] Oh,
[50:40] I don't like that face.
[50:44] Chamber is Oh, I just muted it by
[50:46] accident.
[50:48] Chamber is currently not operating in
[50:54] mandatory. That looks like an M an N.
[50:57] Sorry. Mandatory form. Please seek
[51:01] technician.
[51:04] Wait. Uh, what is that face?
[51:08] Excuse me.
[51:10] insert your creepy um analog horror
[51:14] picture face. That's another thing
[51:16] analog horrors have a lot of is the
[51:18] creepy faces. And there you go.
[51:27] That was That was pretty funny. That was
[51:29] pretty funny. Let's uh let's go on to
[51:31] the next question. Right.
[51:32] Of course. I love it here so much.
[51:33] So tell me and the audience, what are
[51:36] your favorite aesthetics? Ooh,
[51:40] I don't even know if I have a favorite.
[51:42] I like I'm really weird. I like a lot of
[51:44] different aesthetics. Like obviously I
[51:46] like the gothic aesthetic, but I'm also
[51:48] super into like, you know, everybody
[51:50] loves cottage core. Hard to not love
[51:52] like and I love like outdoorsy kind of
[51:54] stuff. My studio, so my whole house is
[51:57] obviously like medieval gothic crazy and
[51:59] sandy. And then my studio is just like
[52:01] covered in like tapestries and I've got
[52:03] incense going and I've got like crystals
[52:06] in the corner. I've got so many
[52:08] different like if I wasn't like I've
[52:10] always said if I wasn't like all black
[52:12] all the time I would go7s orange and
[52:15] brown so hard. I love a good 70s
[52:18] aesthetic.
[52:19] I don't know if that's a is that a
[52:21] detail? But she said she likes ' 70s
[52:24] orange a lot and the mascot for variant
[52:26] labs is orange. I I I don't know if
[52:28] that's a loose tie in. I don't know but
[52:31] brown so hard
[52:32] that just may be a loose thing
[52:34] aesthetic. We then worked together on
[52:36] the actual photo shoot concept, which in
[52:38] this case was based around Gothic themes
[52:41] mixed with dark fantasy. We both
[52:44] collaborated on the costumes, the props,
[52:46] and the set design.
[52:47] And like two mad scientists creating the
[52:50] same monster,
[52:51] here are the final results.
[52:58] Okay. And that's that's that one. That
[53:00] is Vinka Avarian, everyone. So let's
[53:03] let's dissect this. Okay, so again it's
[53:06] the new show, new guest. Vinka Mason
[53:09] also explains again reminding us that
[53:13] he chooses people to come by to the set
[53:17] and then the talk show happens. Now
[53:19] again that mention of being lost. She
[53:24] says
[53:24] perhaps have trouble getting here.
[53:26] Interesting. So, he asks immediately the
[53:30] first question. Did you have trouble
[53:31] getting here after what happened with um
[53:33] Arthur last time?
[53:35] You know, yeah, a little bit. It was I
[53:38] honestly it's a little bit of a blur. I
[53:39] don't really I don't know what happened.
[53:41] I just
[53:42] Did any of the assistants on stage like
[53:43] help you?
[53:44] So, she said it was a blur, which means
[53:47] she doesn't Wouldn't that Wouldn't that
[53:50] technically mean that she doesn't know
[53:52] how she got there? And she literally
[53:54] says that later. So, something about
[53:56] getting to this place or getting to this
[53:59] set is a little bit sus and weird. He
[54:02] then asks about assistance.
[54:04] Did you see any?
[54:04] You have assistance?
[54:06] Yeah.
[54:06] And she didn't see any of the
[54:08] assistants, which again I guess I guess
[54:10] you know if you're going to a show or
[54:13] you're going to a set, you're going to
[54:15] have like I guess you could say like
[54:17] stewards which can help direct guests.
[54:19] That's how I'm pretty sure that's how
[54:22] stuff like this works in showbiz where
[54:24] you'll have an assistant in the back of
[54:26] stage directing people. She clearly
[54:29] didn't see that which means a something
[54:33] is sus or b there's an issue in
[54:36] production value because not well not
[54:38] production but offstage offstage
[54:41] management is terrible. Um, so you know,
[54:46] she's again just like Arthur was a
[54:49] little explains again that she's a
[54:51] little bit lost on how she got here. It
[54:52] was a blur to her. She's again the
[54:55] mention of Gothic too. So she she she
[54:58] does gothic um collections and stuff.
[55:02] She's a collector, has a pretty busy
[55:05] life, traveling a lot. She travels. And
[55:09] then we already looked at this part, but
[55:11] this was the part where
[55:13] coming from
[55:15] we hear we we hear this alarm going off
[55:19] and then stuff mentioned about a
[55:21] chamber. I don't know if I could freeze
[55:23] frame that part again.
[55:24] And I love how you said Astro could be
[55:27] manipulating her. That could be a
[55:30] possibility. We don't know what is
[55:34] inside Mason's head when all of this is
[55:36] happening. He either has also got no
[55:38] idea what's going on and he's oblivious
[55:40] to this just like she is or he knows
[55:44] something. There is no way to tell
[55:48] because he is I would say Mason is very
[55:52] natural when it comes to this sort of
[55:53] stuff. Like you can't tell if bro knows
[55:57] something about what's going on or if he
[56:00] too is just as oblivious and confused or
[56:04] unaware of what's going on just like
[56:07] Vinker here. Please file report to
[56:11] security team. Please check control
[56:16] room.
[56:18] So we have mentions of a control room.
[56:20] We have mentions of a lab. And if you
[56:23] guys remember
[56:25] in this universe there is something
[56:27] called variant labs
[56:30] right. So, is Variant Labs involved in
[56:35] doing something to this? Otherwise,
[56:38] again, a random looking show, right,
[56:41] with people that probably don't link to
[56:43] that organization,
[56:45] but somehow
[56:48] maybe Variant Labs is involved in this
[56:50] in some way, shape, or form. Does Mason
[56:53] know about that? We don't know.
[56:57] How you got here? This is the episode
[56:59] where you get more insight into that
[57:01] idea that there is something maybe
[57:04] hidden behind this seemingly
[57:08] random sort of just show. I I really
[57:12] like this segment here where like
[57:14] remember
[57:15] that feeling of being lost. This is the
[57:17] Avarian sh
[57:18] Mason trying to again sort of coersse
[57:21] her that everything is fine
[57:24] either in a manipulative manner or in a
[57:28] way to just suggest that yeah nothing is
[57:31] going wrong.
[57:32] Oh, do you hear that? I'm sorry to
[57:34] interrupt.
[57:35] I just love the sequence.
[57:36] I don't hear anything. I swear you don't
[57:38] hear that?
[57:39] I don't.
[57:41] Vinka, I don't hear anything.
[57:45] Vinka, I don't hear anything.
[57:50] I love the way he says that though as
[57:52] well at the end. I love it. It's so It's
[57:54] so Oh, it's like what what is happening,
[57:57] you know? And then and then they just
[57:59] continue as
[58:01] and laugh and are smiling. Oh, I
[58:03] actually You know what? I just I just
[58:06] paused at the perfect time. What is that
[58:08] smile?
[58:10] I wish I could zoom in. What is it? What
[58:12] is that smile? Oh, he Oh, he knows
[58:14] something. chat. Come on. That That is
[58:16] the face of someone who knows something.
[58:18] Come on. But then she's also Okay.
[58:23] You know, I'm kind of feeling a little
[58:24] bit uneasy with the staring. I don't
[58:26] like people staring at me, chat. I don't
[58:27] know if anyone else is like that, too. I
[58:29] don't like when people stare at me. Um
[58:31] I'm just going to move on. Uh please
[58:33] don't stare at me. I'm just a little
[58:35] wittle guy. Um yeah. And then they just
[58:37] continue the show as if nothing happens.
[58:39] But then it happens again.
[58:42] And I actually want to freeze frame at
[58:43] this part too because we didn't actually
[58:45] in your collection.
[58:46] Yeah, but where
[58:49] was that?
[58:52] Axe. Axe. T O N. I don't know what that
[58:57] word says.
[58:59] Then it keeps going and then I swear
[59:02] there's more like glitchiness. There we
[59:04] go. Chamber is currently not operating
[59:07] in something form. Please seek
[59:10] technician. So, I think it's it's safe
[59:13] to say that Variant Labs is doing
[59:16] something to this show. For what reason?
[59:18] We don't know. And yes, then then the
[59:22] episode ends and we have these pictures
[59:23] again. And then everything
[59:25] and and and they act as if nothing wrong
[59:28] happened. That's the key thing here,
[59:30] Chad. They act as if nothing wrong
[59:33] happened. It like it happens as like
[59:35] everything goes fine. There's something
[59:38] that triggers Vinka to seem lost and
[59:42] specifically ask about the location of
[59:44] this place because apparently there's an
[59:47] endless
[59:48] room with clothes everywhere that Arthur
[59:51] had to go through and then Mason sort of
[59:56] says that nothing's going wrong and then
[59:57] boo everything is fine. Something is sus
[01:00:00] and we get it from this episode now chat
[01:00:03] that something is not right.
[01:00:07] Okay. But yeah, that's that's Vinker.
[01:00:11] That's Vinker Variant. So, let's go to
[01:00:13] the next episode. Now, this one is
[01:00:15] called Outdated
[01:00:18] Training. And you can see the Variant
[01:00:21] Labs logo in this one. This is going to
[01:00:23] give us a little bit more information on
[01:00:25] a VR on sorry on Variant Labs and what
[01:00:29] they maybe could be doing. It is
[01:00:31] outdated training. So, this is probably
[01:00:33] like not accurate anymore. But let's
[01:00:37] see.
[01:00:38] This one's also 5 minutes. What is the
[01:00:43] description? Employee on boarding
[01:00:45] outdated for mandatory alarms. Feet. Our
[01:00:49] older training guide.
[01:00:52] Matthew Henderson,
[01:00:54] deceased. We saw this guy in the trailer
[01:00:57] when they were with Elias and Zenith.
[01:01:01] So, whatever happened in that moment
[01:01:03] with like the weird creature coming out
[01:01:04] in from the distance, he died from that
[01:01:08] incident Matthew Henderson mentioned.
[01:01:11] Okay, maybe that's why it's outdated now
[01:01:14] because clearly something as well
[01:01:16] happened at Variant Labs which caused
[01:01:19] changes, right? Even their CEO got
[01:01:22] changed cuz before, as we saw in the
[01:01:24] trailer, it was Patrick Adams. Now it's
[01:01:27] someone called Adrian Carter, right?
[01:01:32] What?
[01:01:34] Employee on boarding.
[01:01:38] This session is mandatory, but will only
[01:01:41] be viewed on your current device.
[01:01:44] the live. Um, once prompted by your
[01:01:47] onboarding guide, you will continue to
[01:01:48] the next available device for further
[01:01:50] training.
[01:01:52] This guide is one of three. Well, what
[01:01:54] did that say?
[01:01:57] I saw that. This guide is one of three
[01:02:00] that has been recorded by one of our
[01:02:02] benefactors. The rest were finalized by
[01:02:06] There I am.
[01:02:12] There you are.
[01:02:14] Matthew Henderson deceased.
[01:02:19] Training will begin.
[01:02:21] Recording program documentation
[01:02:23] recording test of alarms for laboratory
[01:02:25] systems including tonal variations and
[01:02:29] audio cues designated for individual
[01:02:32] facility sectors. This test is primarily
[01:02:35] for practice and does not serve as a
[01:02:37] final assessment or determination of
[01:02:39] your career path. In each slide, an
[01:02:42] audio cue will play. You will be the
[01:02:45] judge of what the audio source is. A
[01:02:47] variety of options will appear on screen
[01:02:50] for you to choose from. The answer you
[01:02:52] think best describes the audio cue will
[01:02:54] need to be said out loud for our
[01:02:56] recording devices to hear you clearly.
[01:02:58] Okay.
[01:02:59] You will be prompted with this sound.
[01:03:02] To speak loudly. If you hear this sound
[01:03:04] in reply,
[01:03:07] this means the recording was picked up
[01:03:09] and registered. If however you hear this
[01:03:12] sound instead.
[01:03:15] In's dead. In's dead. Mhm. You hear If
[01:03:20] you hear this sound in's dead. Yeah.
[01:03:23] Thank you.
[01:03:34] It means the recording was not received
[01:03:36] and you will need to answer again. In
[01:03:39] this test, we will only cover four
[01:03:41] mandatory alarms that you will need to
[01:03:43] know the background of upon working in
[01:03:45] the laboratory. Let's begin. Alarm one.
[01:03:49] Okay, chat. Are you ready? Are you guys
[01:03:50] ready? Let's do this. Alarm number one.
[01:04:05] Decontamination.
[01:04:07] Chemical leak. Fatal incident. Seismic
[01:04:10] event warning.
[01:04:13] What do we think that sounds like?
[01:04:17] I hate how that sounds actually. That's
[01:04:19] actually pretty ominous. Something tells
[01:04:22] you that would sound like a a fatal
[01:04:24] incident. I don't know why. Let's see.
[01:04:27] Fatal incident. Thank you.
[01:04:29] You chose the answer. Decontamination
[01:04:32] alarm. You were correct.
[01:04:35] Damn it. We were both wrong.
[01:04:38] We're fired.
[01:04:39] This alarm is only for on-site medics to
[01:04:42] assist with decontamination chamber
[01:04:45] protocols. Decontamination your work and
[01:04:48] continue on unless you
[01:04:49] false alarm for you regular folks.
[01:04:52] What's that supposed
[01:04:52] as an onsite aid?
[01:04:54] Alarm two.
[01:05:04] That sound like a phone ringing.
[01:05:06] Fire, tornado, break-in, electrical
[01:05:08] issue, corporate inspection.
[01:05:11] Yeah, I was I was thinking corporate
[01:05:13] inspection.
[01:05:15] Come on, let's Are we right?
[01:05:18] Sorry, I didn't get that. We're
[01:05:21] materialized.
[01:05:22] Huh? Excuse me. What? So, I said
[01:05:26] corporate
[01:05:28] inspection.
[01:05:31] Thank you. If you chose the answer,
[01:05:34] corporate inspection, you were correct.
[01:05:38] Yes. Let's go, chat.
[01:05:41] This alarm signifies an oncoming
[01:05:43] inspection of the overall laboratory led
[01:05:45] by leading members of Variant
[01:05:47] Communications.
[01:05:49] Alarm.
[01:05:50] Oh, wait. Hold on. Variant
[01:05:52] communications.
[01:05:54] Is that the same as Variant Labs?
[01:05:57] No. Variant communications and variant
[01:06:00] labs are not the same thing but variant
[01:06:03] communications is sort of under the
[01:06:05] bracket of variant labs. So variant
[01:06:08] communications is sort of like the
[01:06:11] branch that deals with communication
[01:06:13] purposes as the name suggests. It's the
[01:06:16] sort of department that allows other
[01:06:18] members of variant labs or variant
[01:06:20] variant communications to sort of talk
[01:06:22] and connect with each other. They are
[01:06:25] involved in communication purposes with
[01:06:28] other third-party members if variant
[01:06:31] labs wants to communicate with them or
[01:06:33] if someone else wants to talk with them
[01:06:35] about something. So yeah, quickly wanted
[01:06:36] to distinguish those two to avoid any
[01:06:39] further confusion going further down the
[01:06:41] line.
[01:06:41] Alarm three.
[01:06:42] Wait, alarm three. What's this one?
[01:06:54] Cognition chamber issue. Why is that one
[01:06:56] red? TFR siren. Power grid failure.
[01:06:59] Hazardous material spill. I need to
[01:07:02] listen to that again.
[01:07:09] Hazardous material spill.
[01:07:12] I'm locking it in.
[01:07:14] If you chose the answer, hazardous
[01:07:17] material spill, you were correct. This
[01:07:20] alarm is to be taken seriously as a
[01:07:22] hazardous material spill can affect
[01:07:24] everyone and anyone within the
[01:07:26] laboratory, especially anyone near the
[01:07:29] actual leak zone. Please seek your
[01:07:31] nearest director or aid precautions
[01:07:33] carefully.
[01:07:38] Do you hear that? I'm sorry to interrupt
[01:07:40] you. Do do you hear that?
[01:07:42] Oh,
[01:07:42] hear what
[01:07:48] alarm
[01:07:57] error media not found.
[01:07:59] What is that noise?
[01:08:03] Again, we'll go back to the the the
[01:08:04] missing messages afterwards. Uhoh.
[01:08:07] I'm sorry. Uh,
[01:08:08] one more time.
[01:08:12] Uh,
[01:08:13] we're sorry. Management should have done
[01:08:16] a better job
[01:08:18] at keeping us together.
[01:08:21] Now we're together as one.
[01:08:25] If you chose the answer,
[01:08:27] you were correct. Error. This alarm file
[01:08:31] is currently processing.
[01:08:34] Processing.
[01:08:36] Warning. File not found. New data has
[01:08:39] not been entered in. Please contact
[01:08:42] system administrator for assistance.
[01:08:47] Asian Carter the second Talon Vox Butch
[01:08:49] Wilhelm.
[01:08:50] I witness.
[01:08:52] Ah, it goes straight to the next one
[01:08:54] already. Right. Okay.
[01:08:57] We have our typical
[01:09:00] training video. Another common thing in
[01:09:03] analog horrors. Training is important,
[01:09:05] guys. Okay,
[01:09:08] especially if you're dealing with things
[01:09:10] that are unnatural. So, we again this is
[01:09:13] a reminder this is an outdated training
[01:09:16] video.
[01:09:18] We go through different alarms. Again,
[01:09:20] this is most likely in this is this is
[01:09:23] all part of variant labs. This is all
[01:09:24] variant labs here. And so, we have to
[01:09:27] recognize the different alarms. I think
[01:09:29] the key point is near the end. Isn't
[01:09:32] that coincidental that in the last
[01:09:34] episode we heard this alarm?
[01:09:37] Do you hear that?
[01:09:38] Hear what?
[01:09:42] We hear that alarm which is not
[01:09:44] mentioned in this training video. That
[01:09:47] is what I believe they're trying to show
[01:09:48] an alarm for. So this alarm is for
[01:09:52] something else. Something secretive.
[01:09:55] Something that maybe we shouldn't know
[01:09:56] about.
[01:09:59] What does that say? Oh,
[01:10:04] stasis
[01:10:06] cont
[01:10:09] stasis containment chamber. Also, notice
[01:10:14] how the audio of this guy is in like in
[01:10:19] that VHS style, but there's moments
[01:10:20] where it then actually speaks to us
[01:10:22] directly in our ear, which I love about
[01:10:24] that's so creepy. Like, listen to this.
[01:10:27] Pay close attention to hearing.
[01:10:29] management should have done a better job
[01:10:33] at keeping us together.
[01:10:35] Oh, I love that. I love the switch in
[01:10:38] like audio there. It's like you're
[01:10:40] watching it from the video and then when
[01:10:43] it speaks like that, it's like directly
[01:10:45] like in your mind.
[01:10:48] Now we're together.
[01:10:50] Now we're together, chat. We're together
[01:10:52] again. Oh my goodness. There was also a
[01:10:55] moment here.
[01:10:56] Correct.
[01:10:59] Oh,
[01:11:01] Chad. Wait, Chad. Wait. The the nose
[01:11:05] pierce. That's Arthur
[01:11:08] from the first episode. Arthur,
[01:11:13] are you good?
[01:11:16] This alarm.
[01:11:17] This is a guest from that show that
[01:11:19] Mason was doing. And now we have him in
[01:11:22] this training video for variant
[01:11:26] communication/labs.
[01:11:28] Um, again, there's some sort of link
[01:11:31] between the show and this laboratory
[01:11:35] company, right? Let me check what you
[01:11:37] want. You mentioned Astro. It was after
[01:11:39] the instead part you said. Was it the
[01:11:42] screen glitching? I mean, there was the
[01:11:43] screen glitching, but I didn't I don't
[01:11:45] think I saw anything.
[01:11:54] What is that? I don't know what that is.
[01:11:57] I have no idea what I'm looking at.
[01:12:00] Oh,
[01:12:02] wait. That's the set. That's the set of
[01:12:06] the show.
[01:12:08] Oh, you are right. It's upside down.
[01:12:13] So, my chat is so smart. again. There's
[01:12:17] a link. Oh, is this another episode
[01:12:21] that's about to come up? Is it for
[01:12:23] foreshadowing? Foreshadowing is a
[01:12:25] literary device. Um uh uh English. Um
[01:12:29] again, I feel like this show, this
[01:12:31] episode here sort of reinforces that
[01:12:33] link that Variant Labs and this show,
[01:12:38] again, this seemingly random show from a
[01:12:40] random guy called Mason. There's some
[01:12:43] link. Okay. There's something about this
[01:12:46] alarm.
[01:12:47] There's just something about this alarm.
[01:12:49] I think that's all I really wanted to
[01:12:51] say for this one. Did we look at the
[01:12:52] description for this? We did already.
[01:12:53] Okay. So, that is the outdated training
[01:12:55] video. The next one is called TV Guide.
[01:12:59] Now, notice the thumbnail of this one is
[01:13:01] green.
[01:13:03] We may get a bit of Zion door here. Now,
[01:13:07] so a lot of this so far has been sort of
[01:13:10] variant labs, but now we may be sort of
[01:13:15] going into the stuff with Zion
[01:13:19] again, which is sort of the city in
[01:13:22] which this place
[01:13:25] it's sort of like the city in which um
[01:13:28] this story takes place in, I guess,
[01:13:30] which is like the other faction of this.
[01:13:31] We have Variant Labs and then we have
[01:13:34] Zion. And yeah, we literally start with
[01:13:37] green, so it's going to be that. And
[01:13:38] let's look at the description. The Zion
[01:13:40] TV channel guide is one of the easiest
[01:13:43] guys to access to control when trying to
[01:13:46] find your evening show. Eyewitnesses
[01:13:48] report that one of the capital's revered
[01:13:50] memorial walls has been defaced with
[01:13:52] graffiti and forcibly breached using
[01:13:54] sledgehammers, marking a blatant act of
[01:13:56] vandalism against a symbol of our city's
[01:13:58] history. Every classroom across Zion,
[01:14:01] young minds are shaped by the principles
[01:14:04] that ensure our city strengths. Respect,
[01:14:07] discipline, absolute loyalty. We pray
[01:14:11] for the first wave of victims in North
[01:14:13] Zion. The unfortunate truth of choosing
[01:14:16] your own life over the possibility of
[01:14:19] poverty is that it often comes at a
[01:14:24] devastating cost. A huge thank you to
[01:14:27] our residents for choosing to believe in
[01:14:28] our city.
[01:14:34] I guess I think Zed that
[01:14:36] initiating quake match found cross
[01:14:39] reference related files. Result found
[01:14:43] unrelated.
[01:14:45] File identify Gra, Gabriel, and Mary
[01:14:48] Eden. The note from user. Uh,
[01:14:51] ridiculous. Ridiculous. Continue.
[01:14:59] Hello, my love. How's your day going?
[01:15:01] It was going.
[01:15:02] It was going.
[01:15:04] It was going until the leading director
[01:15:06] did a mass firing.
[01:15:08] Oh, heavens. Tell me it was with a gun
[01:15:10] and not paperwork.
[01:15:12] You know, honey, I wish it was with a
[01:15:14] gun cuz I take that over having to
[01:15:16] figure out next month's bills.
[01:15:18] Oh, don't worry about that. I can handle
[01:15:20] it for a short time span until you get
[01:15:22] back on your feet.
[01:15:24] Back on my feet? Back on my feet? Eden,
[01:15:28] darling, this wasn't some job. It was my
[01:15:30] life's work. I spent a decade perfecting
[01:15:33] formulas, getting out of my scientific
[01:15:35] comfort zone, working my ass off. And
[01:15:38] for what? To be tossed aside with a
[01:15:40] generic, "We're sorry. Have a good day."
[01:15:42] Anyways, I've been an assistant chemist
[01:15:44] at that massive corporation for years,
[01:15:46] and they just erased me like I was
[01:15:48] nothing.
[01:15:49] You are not nothing, Gabriel.
[01:15:52] Well, I feel like it.
[01:15:55] Maybe it's time I'm a little more honest
[01:15:57] with you.
[01:15:58] Oh, God. Don't make my day worse by
[01:16:00] saying you want a divorce.
[01:16:03] No, no, no divorce. If I'm being honest
[01:16:07] with you and myself, I've always looked
[01:16:09] down on those men who passed you up
[01:16:11] several times for a full-time chemist
[01:16:13] position. Now, honey, you know, there's
[01:16:16] plenty of men with more experience than
[01:16:17] me. That's why I was passed up.
[01:16:20] Sure, but most of those men are mindless
[01:16:23] zombies working for the same man, an
[01:16:25] overpowering criminal. The reason you
[01:16:28] were passed on so many times was
[01:16:30] because, in my opinion, the universe was
[01:16:33] trying to tell you to quit. Don't start
[01:16:35] with that universe baloney.
[01:16:37] I'm serious.
[01:16:39] Okay, I'm sorry. Continue.
[01:16:42] You know, I was waiting for the day
[01:16:44] you'd finally break free from that
[01:16:46] place. Your heart is full of so many
[01:16:49] creative ideas. And all of those emerald
[01:16:52] suited no lives at the plant joked about
[01:16:55] you to your face. Remember?
[01:16:58] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't rub it in.
[01:17:01] I'm not. I'm just saying you need to
[01:17:03] learn your worth.
[01:17:05] Hey, listen to this. Are you ready?
[01:17:07] Hell no.
[01:17:10] Gabriel Green, lead chemist, discovers
[01:17:13] new formula that breaks through the
[01:17:15] boundaries of an unexplainable disease.
[01:17:17] Hero of our time.
[01:17:20] I love it, but I'm not worth it.
[01:17:23] You have to believe in yourself.
[01:17:25] believe that you, Gabriel, are the most
[01:17:29] talented and brave chemist in all of the
[01:17:31] land. Seriously, try to at least say it
[01:17:34] to me.
[01:17:35] Say it over the phone.
[01:17:37] Precisely.
[01:17:38] Are you a cop?
[01:17:39] No, Gabriel. I'm not with the feds.
[01:17:41] Yeah. Okay, whatever you say, Colonel.
[01:17:44] You ready?
[01:17:45] Sure.
[01:17:45] I, Gabriel Grain.
[01:17:47] I, Gabriel Grain,
[01:17:49] am the most talented
[01:17:51] am the most talented
[01:17:52] chemist. Hamoth
[01:17:54] that ever lived.
[01:17:57] I'm gonna die alone.
[01:17:58] Close enough.
[01:18:00] Oh, Gabriel. Gabriel, there's an ad on
[01:18:02] the television.
[01:18:03] Are we documenting everything we see
[01:18:05] now? I spy with my little eye the tax
[01:18:08] mail. Who's coming to assassinate my
[01:18:10] savings account?
[01:18:11] No, no, no, no. There's an advertisement
[01:18:13] for a job application at some place
[01:18:16] called Variant Labs.
[01:18:18] Variant? Huh?
[01:18:20] They're looking for all types of
[01:18:22] positions. I see one for chemist. I see
[01:18:25] one for lead chemist.
[01:18:26] Oh, please end my suffering. I'm ending
[01:18:29] this call.
[01:18:30] Gabriel, you need to apply ASAP. Don't
[01:18:32] you dare hang up on me.
[01:18:35] Um, very interesting there. Quickly. Um,
[01:18:38] he mentions, oh well, that's actually
[01:18:40] the whole video. Oh [ __ ] I actually
[01:18:42] didn't know that. That whole
[01:18:44] conversation was a video. Okay, we're
[01:18:46] near the end actually. Never mind.
[01:18:49] Miss Nick, he was a he was a good power
[01:18:52] mind. We lost him a few years ago. Um
[01:18:56] Oh, I'm sorry. It's all right. Did you
[01:19:00] do it?
[01:19:01] Did I do what? Never mind.
[01:19:04] Witnesses.
[01:19:05] Huh?
[01:19:07] Okay.
[01:19:09] Okay. So, this is just supposed to be
[01:19:11] the TV guide and then boom, we get an we
[01:19:14] get wiretapped into a phone call.
[01:19:17] um with someone called Gabriel Grain and
[01:19:20] Eden Mary who I'm guessing are husband
[01:19:22] and wife. Um interesting Gabriel here
[01:19:26] mentions he got fired from his job and I
[01:19:31] thought this was in because he was
[01:19:32] mentioning chemist a lot and if you saw
[01:19:34] when we were looking at the variant labs
[01:19:38] application form one of the roles was a
[01:19:40] chemist. So I thought Gabriel here was
[01:19:43] like saying variant labs fired him but
[01:19:47] then the wife mentioned
[01:19:49] you have to believe
[01:19:51] at some place called variant labs
[01:19:57] then the the the the the wife in this
[01:20:01] says you should go to a place with
[01:20:03] variant labs. So I thought initially he
[01:20:05] got fired from variant labs. I guess
[01:20:07] that's not the what happened. instead he
[01:20:10] actually got told to apply to variant
[01:20:13] labs. So this is another um situation
[01:20:16] where we have variant labs mentioned.
[01:20:18] Interesting. It's on the TV guide or
[01:20:21] something or whatever this phone call
[01:20:23] is. I actually want to look
[01:20:26] at this part here. This was going
[01:20:28] quickly.
[01:20:30] I want to I want to
[01:20:32] also again this is this is I like this
[01:20:36] part too because it kind of gives a a
[01:20:38] bit of an overview on how Zion as a
[01:20:41] state is. I don't think I need to look
[01:20:43] at like the channels. The channels are
[01:20:46] called Z1, Z2, Z3. Okay, this looks like
[01:20:50] code. I'm not a code expert. Project
[01:20:54] MXVR.
[01:20:57] Searching database
[01:20:59] result. Hold on.
[01:21:02] Accessing Zion network authorization
[01:21:05] protocol engaged. User ID blank.
[01:21:09] Security clearance redacted.
[01:21:12] Uh searching database. Match not found.
[01:21:16] Cross referencing related files.
[01:21:21] Result found.
[01:21:24] Unrelated.
[01:21:27] File ident
[01:21:29] file identify grain Gabriel and okay so
[01:21:34] it was what what I was thinking they did
[01:21:37] they like wiretap this phone call and if
[01:21:41] so then who was wiretapping it was it
[01:21:45] variant labs or was it Zion
[01:21:49] and then we get the phone call about
[01:21:52] wanting to go to oh you know What?
[01:21:55] What if Gabriel Green worked for Zion
[01:21:59] and then they fired him and now he's
[01:22:04] going to go to Variant Labs? That could
[01:22:07] also be a thing. And maybe that's why
[01:22:10] maybe that could suggest that it is Zion
[01:22:14] who sort of accessed this information
[01:22:17] for some for some reason. Will Gabriel
[01:22:20] go to Variant Labs? Do you think he
[01:22:22] will? Do you think he'll take Eden's
[01:22:24] advice? Then we have this instance,
[01:22:27] which is again another situation with
[01:22:30] the show. So like maybe this is
[01:22:31] foreshadowing to another show that we're
[01:22:33] going to be seeing soon.
[01:22:34] Miss Nick, he was a he was a good power
[01:22:37] mind. We lost him a few years ago. Um
[01:22:41] Oh, I'm sorry.
[01:22:44] It's all right. Did you do it?
[01:22:46] Did I do What is Huh? This is such a
[01:22:51] weird interaction. Again,
[01:22:53] the the show itself is unique and you're
[01:22:57] going to see moments of a little bit of
[01:23:00] awkwardness.
[01:23:01] He mentions he's clearly mentioning
[01:23:03] about someone dying called Nick who
[01:23:06] passed away. Very weird how Mason sort
[01:23:11] of just
[01:23:13] he seems like he switched all of a
[01:23:16] sudden.
[01:23:16] He was a he was a good power mind. We
[01:23:18] lost him a few years ago. Um,
[01:23:21] like the way he switched his facial
[01:23:24] expressions and looked at the front as
[01:23:26] if something sparked in his brain. I
[01:23:29] don't know if that's like another cue or
[01:23:32] that's just me. I I I don't know. But
[01:23:35] but then why does he say, "Did you do
[01:23:38] it?" That comes out of nowhere. Did you
[01:23:41] kill my friend?
[01:23:44] Like,
[01:23:45] did I do what? Never mind.
[01:23:47] That's so bizarre. That's so bizarre.
[01:23:51] But yeah, that's that's that episode.
[01:23:54] Now we have this one. The Avarian Show
[01:23:56] intro. Lost Media. Wait, intro? This
[01:23:59] isn't a podcast. It's much
[01:24:03] worse.
[01:24:05] Oh, wait. No. What if this is the intro
[01:24:07] for the actual show? Like Mason's show.
[01:24:10] Oh my god. It makes sense, right?
[01:24:13] Eyewitnesses report that one of the
[01:24:14] capital's revered memorial walls. Live
[01:24:17] from Avarion Studios, it's the moment
[01:24:20] you've all been waiting for. It's the
[01:24:24] Aaron show with Jason
[01:24:28] featuring the ever brilliant Caldwell
[01:24:32] and the man behind the sound making sure
[01:24:34] no explicit language is heard, David. On
[01:24:38] tonight's special guests, no
[01:24:41] interruption.
[01:24:44] Horror stories. Oh, I like horror
[01:24:46] stories.
[01:24:46] Dangerous.
[01:24:49] Special guests from all over the world.
[01:24:52] And now, give it up for your host, the
[01:24:55] one, the only, Mesa.
[01:25:02] Do not turn your TV off. Do not turn
[01:25:06] your phone off. There's nothing wrong
[01:25:08] with your signal.
[01:25:11] It's the show.
[01:25:14] Oh. The Avarian Show.
[01:25:21] New episode every week.
[01:25:26] Actually, you know what? This is an
[01:25:27] interesting thing. Do you think this
[01:25:30] show is actually being aired in Zion as
[01:25:34] an actual show, right? Like even this
[01:25:38] intro is like, you know, the typical
[01:25:40] talk show type thing. Do you think this
[01:25:42] is actually being shown on the TV
[01:25:45] screens of Zion City? So people in the
[01:25:49] city see this? Why did I just think of
[01:25:51] that now?
[01:25:54] I I was
[01:25:56] okay with my stupid little brain. I was
[01:25:58] thinking like, you know how there are
[01:26:00] like podcasts on YouTube that don't go
[01:26:03] onto television? I was thinking that's
[01:26:05] what this was. But now that I think
[01:26:08] about it, this could very well be on the
[01:26:11] TV screens of Zion probably. Yeah. A new
[01:26:14] episode every week is like their ad on
[01:26:18] the TV screens. Um, again, just still
[01:26:21] shots of like some of the shows. Janine
[01:26:23] Caldwell, by the way, she was the Janine
[01:26:26] Coldwell mention. Um,
[01:26:27] featuring the ever brilliant
[01:26:29] this this lady, this this person is um
[01:26:32] in that variant. This person is in the
[01:26:34] variant labs. Um,
[01:26:37] yeah. Isn't that sus?
[01:26:41] The same Janine. Wait, no. Janine Lee
[01:26:44] Coldwell.
[01:26:46] Okay. No, it's the same Janine. Okay.
[01:26:50] Isn't that sus that she's part of this
[01:26:53] show apparently? And then she's also
[01:26:56] written the intro to the form for
[01:27:00] variant labs
[01:27:02] aka training media specialist.
[01:27:09] So again, there's more links more links
[01:27:12] to this show and the lab itself and what
[01:27:16] they're doing.
[01:27:18] But then then it begs the question, what
[01:27:21] are they doing, Chad? What are they
[01:27:23] doing? Why are they,
[01:27:27] if they are maybe the masterminds behind
[01:27:30] this show, why are they doing this show?
[01:27:33] There's not too much to say here except
[01:27:37] the fact that yeah, this show could be
[01:27:40] airing in the city of Zion. So
[01:27:43] again, from that channel trailer, I did
[01:27:46] at the beginning of the stream today, I
[01:27:48] did mention that idea that there may be
[01:27:51] some bad blood between the city of Zion
[01:27:54] and this
[01:27:57] lab. What What do we think is happening?
[01:28:00] What do we think? Uh it's it's still
[01:28:02] hard to say what's going on. I think we
[01:28:05] still need to sort of just see more of
[01:28:07] the episodes, I guess. So, let's just go
[01:28:09] to the next one. This one is called
[01:28:11] Michael Avarian. So, this is now again
[01:28:16] um a new show
[01:28:19] where Mason's going to have to do some
[01:28:21] stuff. Um I'm super glad Mike was on
[01:28:24] board and we had zero interruptions
[01:28:27] today, just the way I like it.
[01:28:31] Let's get into it.
[01:28:34] Unit Z22 to dispatch. We've got a
[01:28:37] situation. Request immediate backup and
[01:28:39] forensic team.
[01:28:41] Unknown body heavily decomposed,
[01:28:46] limbs in its uh
[01:28:50] we need all units on scene.
[01:28:55] Oh,
[01:29:02] okay. Hello. And the show starts. Let's
[01:29:05] go. My favorite TV show.
[01:29:08] Whoa, whoa, hold up.
[01:29:10] No, I'm doing this.
[01:29:13] Sit on that.
[01:29:15] I'll sit.
[01:29:17] So, I got a weird question and I know
[01:29:19] this is kind of just out of out of the
[01:29:21] blue, especially because you just came
[01:29:22] on the show, but I've been asking this
[01:29:25] to a lot of people recently and I just
[01:29:27] gotten some iffy answers. Did you find
[01:29:30] the studio okay?
[01:29:32] He asked the same question here,
[01:29:34] but Janine was real sweet and let me in.
[01:29:37] You You met Janine?
[01:29:39] Yeah.
[01:29:40] She had a tray of ordurves or divorce.
[01:29:44] How do you say that? She had some
[01:29:45] snacks.
[01:29:46] Okay, let me get this straight. You you
[01:29:48] you found the place. Okay.
[01:29:50] Yeah.
[01:29:50] Like the the getting here getting in the
[01:29:53] studio was okay.
[01:29:54] I put in the Y and X axis on Google Maps
[01:29:56] and it brought me right here.
[01:29:58] Okay. And you you met Janine?
[01:30:02] Yeah.
[01:30:03] In person.
[01:30:04] She has great hair.
[01:30:06] key card. Swiped it.
[01:30:09] Maybe
[01:30:10] maybe I'm getting better at this.
[01:30:12] Key card.
[01:30:14] Interviewing. You're leaving a lot of
[01:30:16] spaces.
[01:30:16] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Interviewing. That's
[01:30:18] Yeah, that's what I mean.
[01:30:19] Okay.
[01:30:20] Do me a favor and go ahead and introduce
[01:30:22] yourself to the audience.
[01:30:23] Hey, I am Mike. I make tattoos in
[01:30:25] Columbia, South Carolina. And that's
[01:30:28] that's pretty much it. I make tats. I
[01:30:30] draw pictures.
[01:30:32] That's cool. That's really cool. So, I
[01:30:34] guess the first question more or less is
[01:30:36] how long have you been doing tattoos?
[01:30:38] Uh, I started tattooing in I think 2015.
[01:30:41] It's been like nine years. This will be
[01:30:43] my 10th year tattooing professionally. I
[01:30:45] did
[01:30:46] tattoo artist. I love tattoos.
[01:30:48] Everybody's attic when I was a little
[01:30:49] younger, but professionally it's been
[01:30:50] about 10 years.
[01:30:51] Wow. 10 years.
[01:30:52] Nine years now. Coming up on 10.
[01:30:54] That's a lot of work on your portfolio.
[01:30:56] It Yeah. I mean, I don't know how many
[01:30:58] tattoos I've done. I have no clue. I've
[01:31:01] done some.
[01:31:04] Next question.
[01:31:05] What are some of your favorite pieces
[01:31:07] that you've done?
[01:31:08] Well, anything that's really big is
[01:31:11] always something I'm very excited about,
[01:31:12] guys. One piece in particular that
[01:31:14] stands out is the sleeve I did for this
[01:31:16] guy who's got like a pretty wide exotic
[01:31:18] animal collection. So, we did like
[01:31:20] a bunch of animals that he's owned. We
[01:31:23] did like a galacatu and um a snake and a
[01:31:26] a huntsman spider and all kinds of
[01:31:28] stuff. Sweet. hunt
[01:31:31] Japanese style, which is something that
[01:31:33] I do a lot and that one really cool and
[01:31:34] then I've got some backs that I've done
[01:31:36] and things like that. So big pieces are
[01:31:38] more of your like your
[01:31:39] I mean they're definitely exciting for
[01:31:41] me. It's always like humbling when
[01:31:43] somebody trusts me with something like
[01:31:44] that.
[01:31:45] Whoa. So all that ink defin
[01:31:49] goes into that.
[01:31:50] Yeah. Yeah. A lot. What's the first and
[01:31:53] maybe not only tattoo? What are the f
[01:31:54] What are some of the first pieces that
[01:31:56] you've done? like the first tattoos I've
[01:31:58] done. Well, I mean early days there was
[01:32:00] a lot of um really smart light bulbs and
[01:32:04] and things like that. Stuff that I could
[01:32:05] poke in like by hand.
[01:32:07] Oh no, the alarm by hand and eventually
[01:32:09] uh when I started
[01:32:11] started
[01:32:12] I just go back to what you were saying.
[01:32:15] Uh yeah, so
[01:32:19] Oh, something's different about this
[01:32:22] situation.
[01:32:24] First of all, Michael didn't have a
[01:32:27] problem coming into the show, unlike
[01:32:30] Arthur and Vinker.
[01:32:33] Secondly, it looked like there that this
[01:32:36] time Mason heard the alarm sound.
[01:32:39] Your light bulbs and things like that,
[01:32:42] stuff that I can poke in like by hand.
[01:32:44] Yeah. Now, what
[01:32:47] were those texts? Again, I feel I feel
[01:32:49] like we'll go through the test text test
[01:32:51] texts afterwards
[01:32:54] to analyze,
[01:32:56] but the biggest thing right now is that
[01:32:59] he it's it's like a switcheroo now. He
[01:33:04] hears the alarm. He doesn't seem
[01:33:06] bothered by it
[01:33:07] by by hand. And eventually uh when I
[01:33:10] started
[01:33:13] I just go back to what you were saying.
[01:33:16] Uh yeah. So, when I started
[01:33:18] professionally professionally tattooing,
[01:33:21] uh, I was able to do a koiish on my
[01:33:23] buddy Nick. That was the first like true
[01:33:25] piece that I did. And my boss had taken
[01:33:27] us out and got us dinner and poured a
[01:33:30] bunch of soju in me. And then we went
[01:33:32] back and he was like, "All right, cut
[01:33:33] loose and do this koiish on this kid's
[01:33:35] leg." And I did. It was the best tattoo
[01:33:37] I did probably for like two years.
[01:33:39] Yeah.
[01:33:40] Um, yeah. And it's just it's a great
[01:33:42] memory. I really miss Nick. He was a he
[01:33:44] was a good power mine. lost him a few
[01:33:46] years ago.
[01:33:48] Oh, this was in the past part.
[01:33:49] Oh, I'm sorry.
[01:33:52] It's all right. Did you do it?
[01:33:55] Like what? I feel like the guest is more
[01:33:59] sus than
[01:34:01] Mason in this situation. And again, what
[01:34:04] does he mean by did you do it? Like did
[01:34:07] you kill? Like what
[01:34:11] did I do? What? Never mind. What
[01:34:14] inspired you to become attached?
[01:34:15] Again, that awkwardness.
[01:34:17] Uh, well, so I played music for a long
[01:34:19] time and it just I kind of reached a
[01:34:22] point where I realized that doing that
[01:34:24] maybe wasn't the most viable career
[01:34:26] option. I went in and got tattooed at
[01:34:28] and um
[01:34:30] and all these guys were in there
[01:34:32] tattooing, making a living doing
[01:34:38] they were making a living doing art and
[01:34:40] um it just seemed
[01:34:45] Hey,
[01:34:47] okay.
[01:34:48] Again, we got to go back through the
[01:34:49] text later.
[01:34:50] Take a break and get something to drink
[01:34:51] or something.
[01:34:51] I'm good.
[01:34:52] We can come back to it.
[01:34:53] I'm good. I'm I'm good, Mike. I I just I
[01:34:55] I usually have it together. And for some
[01:34:58] reason, I I genuinely thought I had it
[01:35:00] together cuz, you know, you found the
[01:35:02] place, okay, and all the questions were
[01:35:04] going good. But now I'm like,
[01:35:05] well, this is your thing, so
[01:35:07] yeah, I'm I'm c I'm coughing. I don't I
[01:35:09] don't know why I'm coughing. I don't
[01:35:11] Let's You know what? Let's just let's
[01:35:12] go.
[01:35:13] You want to talk about some tattoos now?
[01:35:14] Yeah, we'll just let's go to the next
[01:35:15] question. Let's go to the question. If
[01:35:17] you could design a full sleeve concept
[01:35:20] with no client input, what would be the
[01:35:23] theme?
[01:35:25] Yeah. So, I'm really into traditional
[01:35:27] Japanese stuff. Um, I think I would
[01:35:29] really like with maybe a big ha mask and
[01:35:31] a snake or maybe like a tiger
[01:35:34] or even just doing like a big sleeve of
[01:35:36] just Japanese background elements like
[01:35:38] just like lightning and clouds or just
[01:35:39] water and rocks. Something like that
[01:35:41] would be really fulfilling for me.
[01:35:42] Do you favor like Japanese themes?
[01:35:45] Because I can see a lot of Japanese
[01:35:46] themes going on.
[01:35:47] Uh, well, I would say I I keep saying
[01:35:49] Japanese, but I I would say it's just
[01:35:50] more like Asian in general. I'm not a
[01:35:53] Japanese person. I can't make true
[01:35:55] Japanese tattoos, but um yeah, a lot of
[01:35:58] my stuff tends to lean that way.
[01:35:59] Cool. What's the current store you work
[01:36:01] at?
[01:36:02] The shop I work at right now is called
[01:36:04] Sickle and Moon Tattoo. Uh, it's in Five
[01:36:06] Points in Colia, so it's like in the
[01:36:08] college district. It's kind of a party
[01:36:10] area, but very good for like walk-ins.
[01:36:12] And that little village has kind of been
[01:36:15] a very familiar and happy place for me
[01:36:17] for a while. So, I'm glad to be there.
[01:36:18] Now, do you do anything besides tattoos?
[01:36:21] Like other hobbies that people may or
[01:36:23] may not know about?
[01:36:24] Yeah. So, uh I play guitar. Um I play a
[01:36:27] couple different instruments, but guitar
[01:36:29] is my main one. I played in a few bands
[01:36:30] around town and stuff like that. Um I
[01:36:33] was really big into skateboarding when I
[01:36:34] was younger also, but now I do that
[01:36:36] vicariously.
[01:36:38] vicariously through my through my kids.
[01:36:42] Uh, Mason,
[01:36:48] is that egg yolk? I'm just joking. He
[01:36:51] just coughed something out of his mouth.
[01:36:54] What is that?
[01:36:55] Uh, that doesn't look good.
[01:37:01] You don't say, Michael. So, this is
[01:37:04] really sus because this is different to
[01:37:06] the other shows of this because it's
[01:37:08] always been the the the guest who acts a
[01:37:11] little bit confused sometimes. But in
[01:37:14] this episode, Michael doesn't seem to
[01:37:16] have any issue. He thinks everything is
[01:37:18] normal. But for Mason this time, things
[01:37:21] are not looking
[01:37:23] right. And now he's just coughed up
[01:37:26] something yellow.
[01:37:28] I don't know what that could be. I you
[01:37:32] know, you'd probably expect blood, but
[01:37:34] it's not even blood. It's something
[01:37:36] yellow.
[01:37:37] Is everything okay?
[01:37:39] Yeah. Yeah. Hey, man. These are new.
[01:37:44] Why is that orange?
[01:37:46] Oh, sorry. Orange.
[01:37:49] Wait.
[01:37:52] Orange.
[01:37:54] Curios.
[01:37:56] I'm sorry. Shut up.
[01:37:58] Eat some Cheetos. Maybe that's what I
[01:38:00] needed to get out. I don't know. Sorry
[01:38:02] about that.
[01:38:02] That's odd.
[01:38:04] We're not We're not putting quarters in
[01:38:05] this thing.
[01:38:07] Now, what are some of the aesthetics
[01:38:09] that you want from the photo shoot?
[01:38:10] Like, what what are we going to go for?
[01:38:13] Oh, yeah. I mean, we'll probably just do
[01:38:15] something kind of raw, something a
[01:38:17] little bit aggressive, I think. Maybe
[01:38:18] black and white, kind of gritty,
[01:38:20] channeling some like some of that
[01:38:22] hardcore show energy, maybe some skate
[01:38:25] kind of feels to it, I think would be
[01:38:26] cool.
[01:38:27] Definitely cool. That sounds cool to me.
[01:38:28] Yeah,
[01:38:28] sounds like a really easy shoot on.
[01:38:30] Totally. Throw that fisheye lens on and
[01:38:31] it'll all be cool no matter what. You
[01:38:33] know,
[01:38:34] with the concept already laid out, we
[01:38:37] moved on to refining the details,
[01:38:39] piecing together the costumes, setting
[01:38:42] up the props, and fully immersing in the
[01:38:45] blend of black and white aesthetics with
[01:38:47] the raw intensity of Tony Hawk culture
[01:38:51] and underground hardcore. And with the
[01:38:54] power of
[01:38:56] Oh,
[01:38:59] why is he taking a picture?
[01:39:01] Here's the end result.
[01:39:02] What is doing?
[01:39:03] ORANGE.
[01:39:07] DAMN, that is hardcore.
[01:39:18] Very interesting. Okay, we need to
[01:39:21] dissect this one. There's actually a lot
[01:39:23] in this to talk about. For starters, we
[01:39:27] forgot that we have to remember this
[01:39:28] happened.
[01:39:30] Unit Z22 to dispatch.
[01:39:34] We have a dispatch call here. Sergeant
[01:39:38] Matthews. We've got a situation.
[01:39:41] Situation.
[01:39:42] Unknown body heavily decomposed.
[01:39:46] uh limbs in it.
[01:39:48] If you remember, Chad, at the beginning
[01:39:51] in the channel trailer, there was stuff
[01:39:53] about missing people or people being
[01:39:56] changed or murders and such.
[01:39:59] Could that be in reference to that now
[01:40:02] to what that is all about? Limbs missing
[01:40:05] I think he mentioned too.
[01:40:08] What is that?
[01:40:10] What am I looking at here? It's orange
[01:40:13] though.
[01:40:15] And then we have Michael. He made it
[01:40:19] into the show normally.
[01:40:22] And again, he Mason asked that question
[01:40:25] again of how did you enter the show?
[01:40:28] Especially cuz you just came on the
[01:40:29] show.
[01:40:30] Oh yeah. What do you mean? I beat you
[01:40:32] here, but Janine was
[01:40:35] He even beat Mason here. And he's he's
[01:40:39] also met Janine, which I guess is like
[01:40:43] they actually say it here title in this.
[01:40:46] So Janine is the assistant director of
[01:40:50] this show.
[01:40:52] But guys, we literally saw last time
[01:40:55] she's also
[01:40:57] in Variant Labs
[01:41:00] sound designed by David. Just David. We
[01:41:03] don't know who David is either.
[01:41:04] Um but yeah, so he made it in normally.
[01:41:07] she used to be in the shows. Oh, is what
[01:41:09] you're thinking.
[01:41:13] Oh,
[01:41:15] and then she moved to or that she left
[01:41:18] Variant Labs and But see, with the with
[01:41:21] the connections with this show to
[01:41:23] Variant Labs and we've seen that a lot
[01:41:25] now. What if Janine Caldwell is like
[01:41:29] doing a double job? This seems like an
[01:41:31] older episode to me. I mean, is it
[01:41:33] because of the way it looks? Cuz yeah,
[01:41:34] the graphic style is a bit different.
[01:41:36] The set is a little bit different, too.
[01:41:38] Again, it's hard to, you know, pinpoint
[01:41:40] a timeline,
[01:41:42] which is also a thing, too. Um, you
[01:41:45] know, we we have the playlist, but the
[01:41:47] playlist doesn't always mean that it's
[01:41:48] in the right order, which is to be
[01:41:51] expected.
[01:41:53] Also, we still have so many videos to go
[01:41:56] through, but we're getting there. We're
[01:41:58] getting there, chat. We could do it.
[01:42:00] Mason is confused as to how he made it
[01:42:04] in normally.
[01:42:06] But all of the weird stuff is happening
[01:42:08] to Mason in this episode, right? He also
[01:42:12] at some point hears the alarm.
[01:42:14] Really?
[01:42:15] Okay. Text
[01:42:18] text.
[01:42:20] Whoa, that was a lot of images there.
[01:42:23] Chamber malfunction.
[01:42:26] Critical failure.
[01:42:28] Danger connected or corrected or danger
[01:42:32] corrected. Yeah. Okay. Again, this
[01:42:36] mention of a chamber which then begs the
[01:42:39] question, is this show happening in
[01:42:41] Variant Labs? I don't even know what
[01:42:43] this is saying to me. I see either
[01:42:45] danger or anger. The D is probably
[01:42:48] outside. I think chat, what's going on
[01:42:52] here? I think this show is happening
[01:42:55] inside Variant Labs. I think Variant
[01:42:58] Labs is doing a sort of experiment
[01:43:02] and I don't know again if Mason knows if
[01:43:06] that's the truth of what's happening. If
[01:43:10] the show is an experiment then is Mason
[01:43:13] himself also an experiment in this?
[01:43:18] That's also something to think about.
[01:43:20] And if so then that borders then even
[01:43:22] borders to the question is Mason even
[01:43:24] real? Is this show real?
[01:43:30] Reality bending brain?
[01:43:34] I don't know. That's just my thoughts. I
[01:43:36] think this is happening in variant labs.
[01:43:38] We're getting the alarm sound all the
[01:43:40] time. This has to be taking place in the
[01:43:43] labs. I think I think that's what's
[01:43:45] happening.
[01:43:48] Now that's new text.
[01:43:51] My hands forget how to be hands.
[01:43:57] See, I literally just said, "What if
[01:43:59] Mason is not real and he's also part of
[01:44:02] this experiment?" I feel like that's
[01:44:04] something that someone who doesn't know
[01:44:06] their existence would say. You know, my
[01:44:09] hands forget how to be hands. I can
[01:44:14] stabilize this.
[01:44:17] Is this like in the mind of of Mason
[01:44:20] now?
[01:44:21] which in that case means he has to know
[01:44:24] something about what's going on. If this
[01:44:27] is him saying this, maybe the show is
[01:44:30] maybe whenever the alarm goes off,
[01:44:33] there's like a problem with the show,
[01:44:36] something's not right and he has to sort
[01:44:38] of correct things to go back to the
[01:44:40] normal path. And then and then this part
[01:44:44] of him coughing.
[01:44:48] More text.
[01:44:52] I can be more. Your more I think this
[01:44:57] says more. I can be more again. Orange.
[01:45:02] I think orange is a key theme in this.
[01:45:05] Does that look like butterfly wing
[01:45:07] patterns to you guys?
[01:45:10] I think this looks like butterfly
[01:45:12] patterns to me. And we already have a uh
[01:45:16] Invariant Labs a
[01:45:19] butterfly
[01:45:20] mascot.
[01:45:23] Again, adding to that link that you know
[01:45:25] variant labs is what are you doing? What
[01:45:28] are you doing variant labs? That says I
[01:45:31] can be more. He's coughing.
[01:45:34] Do that vicarious
[01:45:36] like what is happening to bro? If not,
[01:45:39] it looks kind of like what you'd see
[01:45:41] under a mic microscope for cells. That,
[01:45:43] too. It kind of looks like it was
[01:45:45] amorphous in some way, too. Like sort of
[01:45:48] like if you put like colors in a jar of
[01:45:51] liquid or something and how the stuff
[01:45:53] colors move and change around and and
[01:45:55] and he coughs something orange out
[01:46:00] again. I don't know what that is. And
[01:46:02] then
[01:46:04] and and then that happens.
[01:46:07] And with the power of
[01:46:10] I don't know. Why is bro? Why are you
[01:46:13] taking a picture? Who would do that?
[01:46:17] Michael, you're sus. What are you doing?
[01:46:20] The poor guy is choking out orange
[01:46:22] liquids and you're like, I got to take
[01:46:24] this picture. Put it on social media.
[01:46:26] Okay. Okay, Michael. And then boom,
[01:46:29] that's the end.
[01:46:31] So this in this episode it's it's a
[01:46:33] little bit weird because I feel like the
[01:46:34] the the roles are reversed here.
[01:46:37] Something is happening. Mason feels a
[01:46:40] little bit suspicious about what's going
[01:46:41] on. He hears the siren or the alarm this
[01:46:45] time around and he starts to have these
[01:46:48] weird things happen. And I think those
[01:46:51] words that we were seeing earlier with
[01:46:53] the text of like I can fix this. I can
[01:46:56] stabilize this. I can be more. I think
[01:46:58] that maybe from Mason's mind, some part
[01:47:01] of Mason knows about what's going on
[01:47:03] here, but maybe he doesn't know about
[01:47:05] the full picture. My my current theory
[01:47:08] right now is that this is happening in
[01:47:10] Variant Labs. They're doing some sort of
[01:47:12] experiment,
[01:47:14] which means that Mason may also be an
[01:47:17] experiment.
[01:47:18] He may not be real, which is sad. He
[01:47:22] seems like a really nice dude. He
[01:47:24] deserves to have a reality. When I also
[01:47:27] can I just say
[01:47:29] this series has been going on for over a
[01:47:33] year, but this has only gotten much more
[01:47:36] traction. Like like this episode was
[01:47:38] back in 19th of March 2025,
[01:47:41] but only now I'd say, you know, and
[01:47:44] rightly so, it's gotten a lot more
[01:47:46] attention recently. Um, so again, just
[01:47:49] as a reminder, if you haven't already
[01:47:50] subscribed, you should go subscribe,
[01:47:52] okay? I voice act in this. You guys
[01:47:54] heard my voice at the beginning. I was
[01:47:57] there. I'm I hope you guys are loving
[01:47:59] this so far
[01:48:02] because I'm having a lot of fun diving
[01:48:04] into this. Okay, next episode. The
[01:48:07] animal man description. Please see
[01:48:10] previous episodes as everything will
[01:48:12] connect. We have been doing that. Thank
[01:48:14] goodness. Um if you see anything strange
[01:48:16] or have a report, please follow up to
[01:48:18] Zion Media or the Oakwood PD. the the
[01:48:22] thumbnail for the picture showed
[01:48:23] something in the river. Now, we in that
[01:48:26] last episode, we did have the Sergeant
[01:48:28] Matthews talking about finding a dead
[01:48:30] body. I wonder if this going to give if
[01:48:32] it's going to give some context to that
[01:48:40] evidence reviewer of Ford Oak Police
[01:48:41] Department. Yeah. Case reference. It has
[01:48:44] been determined that case Z0023
[01:48:48] is now linked to multiple ongoing
[01:48:49] investigations.
[01:48:51] The following report has been
[01:48:52] declassified for public awareness due to
[01:48:54] increasing concern
[01:48:56] due to increasing concern and the
[01:48:58] ongoing nature of the investigation. The
[01:49:01] details of this case are still under
[01:49:03] review and have yet to be
[01:49:06] and have yet to be finalized. Thank you.
[01:49:12] This report contains graphic content
[01:49:14] that may be disturbing to some
[01:49:15] audiences. Viewer discretion advised.
[01:49:16] Viewer discretion, guys.
[01:49:20] Be prepared. Christy Selena,
[01:49:24] 2:19 a.m. Prior to a 911 call being
[01:49:28] placed, Christy Selena reported hearing
[01:49:30] loud, strange noises outside her
[01:49:34] residence.
[01:49:36] She described them as someone dragging
[01:49:38] something wet back and forth in her
[01:49:41] driveway.
[01:49:43] She said she decided to ignore the
[01:49:46] sounds
[01:49:48] until they grew louder
[01:49:51] up until they sounded as if they were
[01:49:53] right outside her window.
[01:49:56] 2:25 a.m.
[01:50:01] Brandon Mars.
[01:50:05] At 2:25 a.m., Christy woke her boyfriend
[01:50:08] Brandon to investigate the
[01:50:11] to investigate the sounds coming from
[01:50:13] outside.
[01:50:16] According to a statement, Brandon
[01:50:18] stepped out into the yard, armed. As
[01:50:21] soon as he crossed the threshold,
[01:50:25] Christy heard him scream.
[01:50:31] Christy went to check to see what had
[01:50:33] happened, but her husband wasn't in the
[01:50:36] yard. The screams she heard quickly
[01:50:39] faded, drifting from the driveway, then
[01:50:41] upwards.
[01:50:42] Oh no, what is happening? As if he was
[01:50:45] somehow positioned on the roof.
[01:50:49] Then in an instant, her husband's
[01:50:51] screams grew quiet, as if his placement
[01:50:54] on the roof became farther in the sky.
[01:50:58] He's flying.
[01:51:01] 2:53 a.m.
[01:51:03] Christy placed a 911 call to report her
[01:51:06] husband's disappearance, describing the
[01:51:07] events in a frantic and disoriented
[01:51:10] state. She was unable to provide any
[01:51:12] clear details of what happened occurred
[01:51:15] of what had occurred, sorry, after the
[01:51:17] screams stopped.
[01:51:21] Only that her husband was not at the
[01:51:23] residency anymore.
[01:51:27] Sorry for pausy. Follow-up report
[01:51:32] 4:16 p.m.
[01:51:34] 7 days after the initial incident. A
[01:51:37] whole week has gone by. The local
[01:51:40] Oakwood Police Department received a
[01:51:42] disturbing call. Is this the same one
[01:51:45] with Sergeant Matthews? The caller
[01:51:47] reported seeing what appeared to be a
[01:51:48] Okay, someone else. Sorry. What appeared
[01:51:50] to be a body situated in a creek while
[01:51:52] on a walk. Uh, sorry. while on a walk
[01:51:55] with their family.
[01:51:57] Oh, that's not good. If a whole family
[01:51:59] saw that, they do not want to see that.
[01:52:01] The officers, Damian Bennett,
[01:52:04] Sergeant Colin Matthews, it has to be
[01:52:06] that same one. Yeah.
[01:52:11] Were immediately dispatched to the
[01:52:13] location. It's that same thing. Okay.
[01:52:15] What follows is a portion of that audio
[01:52:17] which may be unsettling to some viewers.
[01:52:20] Okay.
[01:52:24] Unit C22 to Enclave dispatch. We're
[01:52:27] driving through the park's entrance gate
[01:52:28] now. Park's been sealed off completely
[01:52:30] for further investigation. No visual
[01:52:33] confirmation yet, but we're proceeding
[01:52:34] towards the creek area based on the
[01:52:36] park's uh map board.
[01:52:38] Copy that, unit22. Continue on your
[01:52:41] route and report back. We have visual
[01:52:42] confirmation.
[01:52:45] And again, this is happening in Zion.
[01:52:47] Don't be nervous. We're going to get
[01:52:49] there just to find out it's another
[01:52:51] vagrant bathing in a familyfriendly
[01:52:53] park. Nothing more.
[01:52:57] Yeah, probably. At least we get to see
[01:52:59] something new. Always wanted to come by
[01:53:01] this park with my son.
[01:53:03] How's your son doing? Keeping it
[01:53:05] together?
[01:53:05] I think he's managing. The whole funeral
[01:53:08] thing's way behind him and I think he
[01:53:09] was way too focused on his phone to
[01:53:11] really notice the entire service.
[01:53:14] Seems like he's using it as a coping
[01:53:16] mechanism. Yeah,
[01:53:19] probably. So, oh, there's the overpass
[01:53:22] there.
[01:53:24] All right. Unfortunately, since the
[01:53:27] storm a few nights ago, everything is a
[01:53:29] little more flooded, which would explain
[01:53:31] why a body is floating around. Creek
[01:53:33] ain't too big. You feel good about going
[01:53:36] different ways?
[01:53:38] Can't be that hard to find a vagrant,
[01:53:40] let alone a snake or two. You scared of
[01:53:43] snakes?
[01:53:44] Nah, I'm all right. I can handle this.
[01:53:46] Water's not too high. I guess
[01:53:48] water's been higher than this. Just
[01:53:50] watch your step. And if something's
[01:53:52] moving in the distance and has, you
[01:53:54] know, scales, just go the other way.
[01:53:58] Wildlife here won't bother you long as
[01:54:01] you don't bother it.
[01:54:02] Thanks, Sarge. I should be all right.
[01:54:05] Roger that. Just uh whistle if you need
[01:54:08] anything.
[01:54:10] Sergeant Colin walks away.
[01:54:13] God help me.
[01:54:16] This stuff is not it, man. I'm never
[01:54:20] taking a call to a creek again. I mean,
[01:54:22] could the water get any higher?
[01:54:25] Trips over something.
[01:54:30] I'm keeping my dumbass mouth shut next
[01:54:33] time.
[01:54:35] What?
[01:54:37] Inaudible.
[01:54:40] What?
[01:54:42] Damian. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hold on,
[01:54:50] Sergeant. What What What am I looking
[01:54:53] at?
[01:54:57] Um,
[01:54:58] I don't
[01:55:00] I don't have the foggiest idea.
[01:55:04] Is that a body?
[01:55:07] It doesn't even resemble. It has hands
[01:55:12] in its ribs.
[01:55:15] Bennett.
[01:55:15] Oh,
[01:55:16] get out of the water now. We're calling
[01:55:20] this
[01:55:21] unit Z22 to dispatch. We've got a
[01:55:24] situation. Request immediate backup and
[01:55:27] forensic team.
[01:55:29] Unknown body heavily decomposed.
[01:55:33] Limbs in its uh
[01:55:38] We need all units on scene.
[01:55:43] Bennett.
[01:55:46] Sergeant, I I can't move. Officer
[01:55:50] Bennett, get out of that water right
[01:55:52] now. It's contaminated.
[01:55:55] Copy that. T22 Blackman are on route.
[01:55:58] ETA 10 minutes.
[01:56:01] I've never seen anything like this
[01:56:02] before. It almost looks like uh
[01:56:09] OFFICER BENNETT, GET OUT OF THAT WATER
[01:56:11] NOW.
[01:56:15] The officers later explained in their
[01:56:17] conjoined statements that what they
[01:56:18] found was what appeared to be
[01:56:21] a male body.
[01:56:24] However, the body that was recovered was
[01:56:26] unlike anything the county has
[01:56:28] encountered before.
[01:56:32] The body was located in a state of
[01:56:34] extreme decomposition.
[01:56:40] Oh, skin that remains is gelatinous in
[01:56:44] texture and appears to be deteriorating
[01:56:46] at an accelerated possibly unnatural
[01:56:50] rate.
[01:56:54] The most notable point of the body,
[01:56:58] animal organs and foreign appendages had
[01:57:02] been embedded into the torso in such a
[01:57:05] way that it appeared as though they had
[01:57:09] grown out of him.
[01:57:12] Oh,
[01:57:15] that's like grafting stuff onto your
[01:57:16] body, including deer hooves unnaturally
[01:57:19] fused into the victim's Okay, I'm not
[01:57:21] going to lie. The the text is going so
[01:57:23] quickly for me.
[01:57:25] Dear hooves unnaturally fused into the
[01:57:28] victim's calves.
[01:57:30] Wait, chat, where are the calves?
[01:57:33] Is that a dumb question to ask? It's
[01:57:36] like the body's mutated with something.
[01:57:38] That's like something you'd expect to
[01:57:39] find from a creature that's like gotten
[01:57:41] mutated from like, I don't know,
[01:57:43] radiation poisoning or something. Lower
[01:57:45] part of your leg. That's so weird.
[01:57:49] Animal
[01:57:51] features,
[01:57:54] moose antlers found lodged inside the
[01:57:58] chest cavity, and abnormally
[01:58:02] large mantis claws found within the back
[01:58:05] of the victim. Oh, that's horrifying.
[01:58:08] No.
[01:58:10] Despite the extensive damage, the that
[01:58:12] face remains entirely intact and
[01:58:15] untouched.
[01:58:17] Warning, be advised. This image is of
[01:58:19] the recovered body from the time of the
[01:58:21] findings. Are you guys ready? Are you
[01:58:23] guys ready?
[01:58:37] This message is brought to you by the
[01:58:38] city of Zion. Thank you, Fay Zion. Um,
[01:58:43] right. Okay. Okay. Okay.
[01:58:48] Okay.
[01:58:49] Uh, that is the dude Brandon Mars.
[01:58:52] That's Brandon, guys.
[01:58:55] So, let's piece this together. we have a
[01:58:57] situation where we have an incident, a
[01:59:00] case that has happened in the city of
[01:59:02] Zion. Um, and it's apparently linked to
[01:59:05] multiple ongoing investigations. Um, I
[01:59:08] wonder if this is also rep represented
[01:59:10] and related to the again back in the
[01:59:12] channel trailer, they mentioned
[01:59:14] disappearances. It could be related to
[01:59:16] that. or his wife Christy Selena called
[01:59:20] 911 placed uh hearing loud strange
[01:59:22] noises outside her residence as if
[01:59:24] pulling something wet back and forth in
[01:59:27] her driveway
[01:59:31] and then he sends or she sends his her
[01:59:35] husband out. Then Brandon somehow gets
[01:59:39] abducted by whatever this thing could
[01:59:42] be. So now we have some sort of
[01:59:44] creature. Either it's a creature or
[01:59:47] either it's someone.
[01:59:49] The screams she heard quickly faded,
[01:59:51] drifting from the driveway, then
[01:59:53] upwards. Well, then here's that part. Is
[01:59:56] that
[01:59:58] Yeah, it sounds like he got flown away
[02:00:00] as his placement on the roof became
[02:00:02] further in the sky.
[02:00:04] Bro got abducted and he got literally
[02:00:07] taken away. Something flew him away and
[02:00:10] kidnapped him. What is What could that
[02:00:13] be? That's like I feel like that's like
[02:00:15] the first instance we've now had of like
[02:00:18] some sort of creature possibly
[02:00:21] doing something. It cannot be a human.
[02:00:23] Humans cannot fly. I wish I could fly,
[02:00:26] you know. Does anybody else wish that?
[02:00:28] But I can't because I'm a loser.
[02:00:32] Right. So something he he gets flown
[02:00:36] away. She's in a frantic state,
[02:00:39] rightfully so. And then there's a body
[02:00:42] which is uncovered by a family and
[02:00:45] that's where the sergeant, you know,
[02:00:46] Sergeant Matthews and they have someone
[02:00:49] with him called Damian. That's where
[02:00:51] that that's where this is linked. But
[02:00:55] then he also mentions here
[02:00:58] that the water was contaminated.
[02:01:02] Yeah. body is decomposed
[02:01:04] in its uh
[02:01:06] limbs in it which I'm going to say is
[02:01:08] inside its body inside the rib cage or
[02:01:10] inside everywhere
[02:01:13] because of the fact that it's decomposed
[02:01:15] almost I would also say kind of mutated
[02:01:18] in a way
[02:01:19] and yeah it's it's contaminated with
[02:01:21] something so that actually
[02:01:24] is not good because Bennett is inside
[02:01:28] this water oh no are we also dealing
[02:01:32] with maybe some sort of some sort of
[02:01:33] like communicable
[02:01:36] disease thing as well. Damian,
[02:01:39] you sound like a really nice guy. Please
[02:01:42] don't die. Okay, just please don't die.
[02:01:46] You don't deserve this.
[02:01:49] Yeah, it's like he can't move. He gets
[02:01:50] stunned. either either he's stunned in
[02:01:52] shock because of what he's seeing and
[02:01:55] rightfully so or the contaminated water
[02:01:58] has done something to him
[02:02:01] and again contamination dead body being
[02:02:04] found and we have variant labs doing
[02:02:06] experiments I think again this shows
[02:02:09] that idea that in this right now variant
[02:02:13] labs is doing something you know we have
[02:02:18] a show that may or may not be happening
[02:02:21] inside Variant Labs. We have these
[02:02:23] people coming in and then we have this
[02:02:26] situation where we now have a situation
[02:02:30] of people missing in Zion City.
[02:02:33] Dead body has been found. It is heavily
[02:02:35] mutilated
[02:02:36] right now.
[02:02:37] Extreme decomposition.
[02:02:39] It has limbs
[02:02:41] of animals.
[02:02:44] Why? Like why would why dear who's into
[02:02:48] the victim's calves,
[02:02:52] right?
[02:02:55] Moose antlers found lodged inside the
[02:03:00] chest cavity. That's also really
[02:03:03] dangerous. You do not want to move
[02:03:05] around your chest with freaking moose
[02:03:08] antlers. That's a hazard. It's like
[02:03:11] literally grafting animal parts onto a
[02:03:14] body.
[02:03:16] And and I think this is the scariest
[02:03:18] one. Freaking large mantis claws found
[02:03:21] within the back of the victim.
[02:03:26] I don't think I want to see like an
[02:03:28] insect's body part on a human being, you
[02:03:31] know? I don't think I want to see that.
[02:03:34] And yeah, the weirdly enough, the face
[02:03:36] is intact through all of this. It's just
[02:03:40] the body that is affected by whatever
[02:03:43] this is. And again, Brandon got a It
[02:03:47] seemed what seemed like Brandon got
[02:03:49] Brandon got abducted. You could say,
[02:03:52] "Hey, maybe
[02:03:54] he got taken to variant labs. Maybe
[02:03:57] they're doing an experiment and this was
[02:03:59] a failed experiment and so they just
[02:04:01] tossed his body in the water so that no
[02:04:04] one can find it."
[02:04:05] The more we read and look into the show
[02:04:09] and and the more we go through the
[02:04:11] videos, we we we start to get a picture
[02:04:13] that Variant Labs is just doing
[02:04:15] something
[02:04:17] weird and possibly now fatally messed
[02:04:21] up. And then of course this is the image
[02:04:24] we get th those are the the deer
[02:04:28] antlers. Oh, it's like it's like almost
[02:04:30] like it's also stabbed into his chest.
[02:04:34] It is very weird that the face is
[02:04:35] intact. Yeah. Again, the question is
[02:04:38] like what dragged him away? What
[02:04:40] kidnapped him too? We're now getting a
[02:04:43] first instance of like a possible
[02:04:45] creature entity involved in this as
[02:04:47] well.
[02:04:49] The next episode chat says orange
[02:04:54] alarms. Again, we're getting a lot of
[02:04:56] theme of oranges. The thing that Mason
[02:04:59] spitted out was orange.
[02:05:03] At 2:00 a.m., Butch W received a
[02:05:07] notification that an alarm was going off
[02:05:09] at the laboratory.
[02:05:11] How long? No one knows for sure. Oh, I
[02:05:15] wonder if this is in reference to the um
[02:05:17] alarm that we've been hearing.
[02:05:19] If it is the same alarm,
[02:05:22] then it is confirmed that the show is
[02:05:23] happening in Variant Labs.
[02:05:28] Veron communication line.
[02:05:36] Hello
[02:05:37] connecting.
[02:05:38] Good afternoon and thank you for calling
[02:05:40] the variant communications line. If
[02:05:42] you're part of the variant lab teams
[02:05:44] such as scientists, botonists, security
[02:05:46] detail or cubicle workers, please enter
[02:05:48] your party's extension now.
[02:05:53] Say,
[02:05:55] the only available member of this
[02:05:56] party's extension is Axton B. Would you
[02:06:01] like to connect?
[02:06:03] Please wait one moment while I connect
[02:06:05] to you.
[02:06:07] Calling Axton B. So, I'm guessing this
[02:06:09] is the security officer. Yeah.
[02:06:11] Yeah. Go ahead,
[02:06:13] X. Dude, are you awake?
[02:06:15] There's Butch.
[02:06:16] Barely. What time is it?
[02:06:18] 2 a.m. A time that I personally
[02:06:21] shouldn't be up. So, why the hell are
[02:06:23] you calling me then?
[02:06:26] You didn't get the notification on your
[02:06:27] phone, did you?
[02:06:29] Man, I don't even know where my phone
[02:06:31] is.
[02:06:33] Oh, yeah. Duh. Let me check my phone.
[02:06:38] Not your brightest moment. Well, you've
[02:06:40] had more bright moments than me, so I'll
[02:06:42] call it even.
[02:06:44] Yeah. Okay, I checked it out. So, what's
[02:06:48] this about an alarm at the laboratory?
[02:06:50] You think someone like broke in?
[02:06:54] I don't know. I don't think it's
[02:06:55] anything to be worried about. The
[02:06:57] notification just says alarm. But you
[02:07:00] are on call for stuff like this. So
[02:07:01] that's why I'm calling you. It's
[02:07:03] probably just a bird or something that
[02:07:04] tripped the damn thing. But you still
[02:07:06] need to check.
[02:07:07] I still don't see why Carter appointed
[02:07:08] you to be the lead director of the
[02:07:10] security team.
[02:07:11] Well, you don't get paid to make
[02:07:12] observations on employees, especially
[02:07:14] ones who are your friends. You get paid
[02:07:16] to guard, observe, and report. So,
[02:07:19] please, for my sake, and even Carter's,
[02:07:21] do your job and report back.
[02:07:23] Okay. But if it is a bird, I'm making
[02:07:26] sure it's pooping all over your lovely
[02:07:28] lounge chair.
[02:07:28] And if you do that,
[02:07:29] damn.
[02:07:35] Accessing Zion network authorization
[02:07:37] protocol.
[02:07:39] Oh.
[02:07:40] Oh, it's that thing again. Accessing
[02:07:43] Zion network authorization protocol
[02:07:45] engaged. It's it's it's it's this thing
[02:07:48] again. MXVR
[02:07:51] just like with the the Greyel grain
[02:07:54] core.
[02:07:56] Serious allowed products. No files found
[02:07:58] personal tower hawks. I'll read that
[02:08:00] afterwards, I guess.
[02:08:07] Zion Archives
[02:08:10] status undetected. Located recent upload
[02:08:12] filtering by origin.
[02:08:14] Wa things are going so quickly
[02:08:17] far very labs new entries
[02:08:20] blah blah blah blah blah.
[02:08:33] Yes.
[02:08:35] Can I help you?
[02:08:38] Uh Gina Briggs from Mr. Zion. President
[02:08:42] Zion is currently unavailable. If you
[02:08:45] like, I can take a message, but I highly
[02:08:48] doubt he'll be prioritizing it. I
[02:08:51] suggest you try again later.
[02:08:55] Excuse me. Do you know who I am?
[02:08:58] You are Gina Briggs.
[02:09:02] Oh, so you've heard of me? I need to
[02:09:04] speak to the president as soon as I
[02:09:06] I haven't heard of you. You just said
[02:09:08] your name. That's all I'm going off of.
[02:09:11] And as I've said, President Zion is
[02:09:15] currently unavailable.
[02:09:18] If you like, I can take a message.
[02:09:22] Danny, who is it?
[02:09:24] Don't worry, sir. It's no one important.
[02:09:28] This is Miss Briggs of the Initiative
[02:09:30] Research Team, lead frequency
[02:09:32] translator. I have important information
[02:09:35] for President Zion's eyes only. Send her
[02:09:40] in, Danny.
[02:09:43] As you wish, sir.
[02:09:48] I hate that sound. Wait, President Zion?
[02:09:52] Is he the president of the country or
[02:09:53] just the I'm guessing just the city of
[02:09:56] Zion, right?
[02:09:58] Not the actual country.
[02:10:00] Yeah, President Zion. He's probably like
[02:10:02] the head of the state of
[02:10:03] I apologize for Danny's fronting. He can
[02:10:06] be somewhat intimidating. I wasn't
[02:10:09] intimidated.
[02:10:11] Good. That's what you people were
[02:10:13] trained to be like. Relentless,
[02:10:16] unshaken, useful under pressure. That
[02:10:19] was the whole point of the initiative,
[02:10:20] wasn't it?
[02:10:21] Yes, sir. Um, President Zion.
[02:10:25] Ah, make yourself comfortable. No need
[02:10:27] for formality. Call me Faze.
[02:10:30] Yes, sir. Mr. uh, Faze. Now then, what's
[02:10:35] this about information meant only for
[02:10:37] me?
[02:10:38] Um, well, sir, I mean, Faze, as you
[02:10:43] could see in the folder, our team at the
[02:10:45] initiative, um, they've noticed some
[02:10:48] unusual seismic activity in the
[02:10:51] surrounding area over the last few days.
[02:10:54] We weren't really that concerned at
[02:10:56] first, but um when we saw how the
[02:10:59] magnitude matched up with the frequency,
[02:11:03] well, it got a little uh worrying.
[02:11:07] Worrying.
[02:11:09] Yes, worrying.
[02:11:12] Worrying isn't something any of you were
[02:11:14] trained for. You were made to remain
[02:11:17] calm. So, how is it that a small spike
[02:11:20] in seismic activity has you so shaken
[02:11:23] up?
[02:11:24] Because of the relation to
[02:11:25] No, the correct answer to that was we're
[02:11:29] not worried.
[02:11:30] Mr. Zion
[02:11:31] phase.
[02:11:32] Faze. We're worried as a team and as a
[02:11:37] family simply because the frequency
[02:11:40] spikes match up very similarly with
[02:11:44] spikes that were discovered here in the
[02:11:47] city.
[02:11:49] In the city.
[02:11:51] The earthquakes here have become part of
[02:11:54] our daily life. But you're saying this
[02:11:56] goes beyond that. How frequent are they?
[02:12:00] Barry. They match the direct pathway as
[02:12:03] spikes we've seen before the city was
[02:12:06] even developed. Massive. The energy
[02:12:10] within the spikes is almost
[02:12:13] unexplainable.
[02:12:15] And where are these spikes prominent in?
[02:12:19] That's the thing. They've been mainly
[02:12:21] happening in one region that has nothing
[02:12:24] going on in it. The desert.
[02:12:27] The desert. Of course, it's the desert,
[02:12:32] sir. That's where Variant Labs is.
[02:12:34] Direct control over anymore. The one
[02:12:37] person who, despite being nothing more
[02:12:40] than a blip on my radar, keeps popping
[02:12:43] up whenever something inconvenient
[02:12:46] happens.
[02:12:47] Adrien James Carter.
[02:12:50] Mhm.
[02:12:51] Head of Varant Labs.
[02:12:56] Oh, hey, it's Mason. It's the Aaron show
[02:13:00] with Mason
[02:13:03] featuring the ever brilliant Janine.
[02:13:05] Go Janine.
[02:13:10] Oh.
[02:13:14] Um,
[02:13:15] I don't see Mason, guys. Where's Mason?
[02:13:18] Where's my boy Mason?
[02:13:24] Hannah.
[02:13:27] May Mason Mason Hannah?
[02:13:31] Wait, isn't this off?
[02:13:34] Yeah. No, you can't fit there.
[02:13:38] No, he's not really little now.
[02:13:46] What happened here?
[02:13:49] Wait, they did mention something about
[02:13:51] earthquakes and
[02:13:52] Yeah. What? Why don't I try that? I
[02:13:54] can't even.
[02:13:56] Where did you go?
[02:13:58] Oh,
[02:14:02] Arthur, where did you go?
[02:14:04] Yeah, it's Arthur.
[02:14:07] What? What?
[02:14:11] From what was that
[02:14:13] from the beginning?
[02:14:14] Okay.
[02:14:16] All right. Thank you. Yeah. [ __ ] this
[02:14:18] [ __ ] Was that Morse code? Oh, that's
[02:14:23] the end of the episode.
[02:14:28] Right. That same alarm. Something is up
[02:14:31] with that alarm. It means something.
[02:14:34] Yeah, we'll go back to that code. I just
[02:14:35] want to go through the video again.
[02:14:37] Okay, so they mention it here, too. That
[02:14:43] dude, are you awake?
[02:14:44] So, these are security guards at Variant
[02:14:46] Labs.
[02:14:48] So, what's this about an alarm at the
[02:14:50] laboratory?
[02:14:51] Yeah. So, the security team gets
[02:14:54] notified of an alarm going off in the
[02:14:57] lab.
[02:14:58] Do we think it's the same alarm? I think
[02:15:01] the answer may be yes, because we've
[02:15:04] been hearing this alarm so much. It's
[02:15:06] the same. It I it has to be which even
[02:15:11] further adds solidification to the idea
[02:15:13] that the show is happening in variant
[02:15:16] labs. It's an it's some sort of
[02:15:20] experiment. They're going to send Axton
[02:15:22] here to go check that out. So note that.
[02:15:28] Then we have this.
[02:15:31] This happened with the Gabriel Grain
[02:15:33] phone call with his wife.
[02:15:37] Accessing Z network authorization
[02:15:39] protocol engaged.
[02:15:41] Initiating query for project MX. So,
[02:15:44] okay, that's the second time you've had
[02:15:45] this reference to project MXVR.
[02:15:49] Are these Roman numerals, too, chat?
[02:15:52] MXV, I'm pretty sure, can also be
[02:15:55] referred to as Roman numerals. Is R in
[02:15:58] the Roman numerals as well? Does R mean
[02:16:00] something in Roman numerals? MXV if I
[02:16:03] remember right is like 1,15
[02:16:07] 105.
[02:16:09] Okay. Right. Institutes variant labs
[02:16:12] projects no files found. Personnel Talon
[02:16:14] Vox Gabriel Gabriel Grain
[02:16:19] Willow Funk.
[02:16:21] That confirms it. So Gabriel did end up
[02:16:25] going to variant labs most likely as a
[02:16:28] chemist. Um, Talon Vox, we've heard that
[02:16:30] name before again. Willow Funk is
[02:16:32] someone I haven't I think that's a new
[02:16:34] name. So, these look like personnel from
[02:16:37] Varant Labs. Okay. I wonder if this is
[02:16:41] someone accessing these files. In which
[02:16:43] case, cuz we had this sort of like
[02:16:46] screen before someone is doing this.
[02:16:51] Initiate backloop protocol design
[02:16:53] archives.
[02:16:55] So like who's doing this is something we
[02:16:57] need to now understand is who's
[02:16:59] accessing this sort of information sort
[02:17:01] of like spying almost or uncovering
[02:17:05] these secrets. Is it someone from the
[02:17:07] variant labs or is it someone from Zion
[02:17:10] or is it someone completely different?
[02:17:14] Wait, David White,
[02:17:17] isn't that the guy who's supposed to be
[02:17:20] doing the sound design for the show? Is
[02:17:24] that their full name? And now we get
[02:17:27] like this sort of interaction which is
[02:17:30] probably like at the heart of Zion City.
[02:17:33] So I feel like this is guy's like
[02:17:34] probably like the um what do you call
[02:17:37] it? Like the secretary for the
[02:17:39] president. And again I feel like Mr.
[02:17:41] Zion or President Zion is sort of like
[02:17:44] referencing maybe not the president of
[02:17:46] the country but maybe like the head of
[02:17:49] the state of Zion in a way. So we have
[02:17:52] Danny Z. Gina Briggs has some
[02:17:54] information about a seismic activity in
[02:17:57] the desert. And then we even we even get
[02:18:00] to listen to Zion. We listen to John
[02:18:04] Zion himself. I don't know where Zion is
[02:18:07] situated on the American map. If the
[02:18:10] American map is a little bit different
[02:18:11] in this universe, they mention stuff
[02:18:14] about I swear like South Carolina, North
[02:18:16] Carolina.
[02:18:18] Do earthquakes happen in that region? I
[02:18:21] don't think so. I don't think there's a
[02:18:24] desert in east in the east coast of
[02:18:27] America. That's something you'd see in
[02:18:29] like the western side of America. They
[02:18:33] do get them. It's just not often and
[02:18:35] they're very weak. Oh, they do. Okay.
[02:18:38] But yeah, um they mention about
[02:18:39] earthquakes and they mention that it is
[02:18:41] originating from the desert. And if you
[02:18:46] guys remember, the desert is where
[02:18:48] Variant Labs is from in the middle of
[02:18:52] nowhere in the desert outside of the
[02:18:53] borders of the city and state of Zion.
[02:18:58] So again, it relates that idea that
[02:19:01] Variant Labs is doing something. And
[02:19:03] again, they mention Adrien Carter, who
[02:19:05] is most likely the head CEO of Variant
[02:19:10] Labs. Again, we're going to hear a lot
[02:19:12] more about Adrien Carter um in this
[02:19:16] But again, how does this link to Mason?
[02:19:18] How does this link to the studio show?
[02:19:20] And then we have this
[02:19:23] situation. This is the set of the show
[02:19:27] and it is destroyed. It's in a state of
[02:19:31] mess. What caused this? Now, immediately
[02:19:35] I would say that the earthquake would
[02:19:38] probably have caused this to happen.
[02:19:41] Does that mean that it also affected the
[02:19:43] whole of the Varian Labs 2 in some way?
[02:19:45] And then we see Arthur.
[02:19:48] We have Arthur here who was the literal
[02:19:51] first guest in the show. And now Bro's
[02:19:56] here as if he's working here.
[02:19:59] This is Arthur, right? This isn't the
[02:20:02] actor playing someone else.
[02:20:03] Hannah.
[02:20:05] Also, I don't know who Hannah is.
[02:20:07] Hey, Nathan.
[02:20:08] Yeah, it's Arthur. Arthur, where are
[02:20:10] you? Where did you go? That's the sign
[02:20:13] of the announcer.
[02:20:17] This part. Yes.
[02:20:18] Okay.
[02:20:19] My eyes are missing.
[02:20:22] I don't like the sound of that.
[02:20:27] Help us. That says help us. I can't find
[02:20:32] the exit.
[02:20:35] Morse code. David is with us, I think,
[02:20:38] if I remember right. Is that what that
[02:20:41] says? Did you Did you do it already? Is
[02:20:44] Is that what it is? Let Let me do it
[02:20:45] myself just to make sure for my own sake
[02:20:50] to see. Oh, wait. No, I'm supposed to
[02:20:52] put a space. Oh.
[02:20:56] Oh, no.
[02:20:58] You are right. You are right. It
[02:21:03] guys, I can I can type. Okay. I can
[02:21:04] type. I can type. It does say David is
[02:21:07] with us. Okay.
[02:21:09] Again, David. I think it's David White.
[02:21:12] I think they're referring to David
[02:21:13] White. So, now we know that in the show
[02:21:17] we have Mason himself,
[02:21:21] we have Janine Caldwell, and now we know
[02:21:25] about a certain David White.
[02:21:31] Also, the next episode is called
[02:21:33] Whistleblower
[02:21:36] Live from X7X.
[02:21:39] This network is part of the many media
[02:21:41] pillars that make up Zion TV, featuring
[02:21:44] your host, Kylo Cooper, and her lovely
[02:21:47] assistant, Failen Detail. All of who
[02:21:51] cover stories that never make it to air
[02:21:54] radio.
[02:21:56] More Zion.
[02:22:00] That's right, Daniel. I'm on the scene
[02:22:01] of an additional missing person's case.
[02:22:05] Apparently, it was the day he
[02:22:06] disappeared. Uh, he was leaving his
[02:22:08] house.
[02:22:10] Uh, someone else is gone.
[02:22:11] Has called these anomalies unidentified
[02:22:14] blackouts.
[02:22:16] Variant labs.
[02:22:17] Yeah, some kind of laboratory. I guess
[02:22:22] with
[02:22:24] Sorry, we were just talking about not
[02:22:26] Janine. Are you now focusing your
[02:22:28] attention on my outfit choice?
[02:22:30] Well, yeah. You're built like a
[02:22:31] highlighter right now. I kind of have
[02:22:32] to.
[02:22:35] Nah, that's too mean. Come on. He
[02:22:37] doesn't. Does he look
[02:22:40] rate the drip chat? She's not wrong,
[02:22:43] though. What? He looks like a
[02:22:46] highlighter.
[02:22:50] It's inventive.
[02:22:52] I'll say that.
[02:22:53] Okay. Well, first of all,
[02:22:56] okay.
[02:22:56] And now,
[02:22:58] after hours of surveillance, a few
[02:23:00] history searches, and a truckload of
[02:23:02] city secrets within Zion itself, you're
[02:23:05] tuned into the only channel that leaves
[02:23:07] reputations bleeding red in a world of
[02:23:10] emerald green. From the rumors about
[02:23:12] reputable businesses to the workers who
[02:23:14] were fired under false pretense, this
[02:23:17] isn't just a show, nor is it just cancel
[02:23:20] culture. This is X7X.
[02:23:24] X7X radio show.
[02:23:28] Radio radio shows love to delve into,
[02:23:31] you know, secrets and whatnot.
[02:23:34] This is called the whistleblower.
[02:23:35] You think you're safe?
[02:23:36] So, this episode,
[02:23:42] think again, darling. Digital footprint.
[02:23:46] We've got a map and a microphone to
[02:23:48] every mess you've ever made. Every
[02:23:51] single secret, even the one stuffed deep
[02:23:54] within a hole in the desert, will be dug
[02:23:57] up for the fan favorite purpose of your
[02:24:00] entertainment.
[02:24:01] There's no filter, no mercy,
[02:24:05] and absolutely no boundaries.
[02:24:08] Chicken,
[02:24:08] you came here for You're lost. This is
[02:24:12] Zion's most brutal broadcast. Glam,
[02:24:15] gossip, and better hair than your
[02:24:17] situationship.
[02:24:19] Welcome to X7X.
[02:24:28] You may not know me yet, but trust me,
[02:24:31] I've been in every room from here in the
[02:24:34] studio to way back when North Zion
[02:24:36] wasn't a jungle of financial mistakes.
[02:24:39] Except at that point, I was a snot
[02:24:41] eating brat. I'm Failen, assistant,
[02:24:45] curator of X7X and the reason half of
[02:24:48] Zion triple checks its privacy settings.
[02:24:51] I know where the bodies are buried, who
[02:24:53] buried them, and what they were wearing
[02:24:55] when they did it. But my job isn't to
[02:24:58] talk about it. That's someone else's.
[02:25:01] I'm just here to make sure the spotlight
[02:25:03] hits the right shade of scandal.
[02:25:06] And speaking of scandal, wrapped in red
[02:25:09] hair and a smile you should totally
[02:25:12] trust, it's time for the queen of X7X to
[02:25:15] reveal herself, your host, the one, the
[02:25:19] only remaining Kylo Cooper.
[02:25:23] Thank you so much for that introduction,
[02:25:26] Failen. Well, well,
[02:25:28] the only remaining. What does it mean by
[02:25:29] that?
[02:25:30] My favorites, my loyal, scandal sniffing
[02:25:33] little shadow pack. If you're here, it
[02:25:36] means two things. One, you're smart
[02:25:38] enough to question everything. And two,
[02:25:41] you adore little chaos. This is where we
[02:25:44] keep it raw, real, unfiltered,
[02:25:47] unapologetic. The stories that official
[02:25:50] sources won't dare to touch. We welcome
[02:25:53] them as they are a distant family. If
[02:25:55] you at any point thought posting your
[02:25:57] deepest, darkest information to the
[02:25:58] internet was a smart move on your end,
[02:26:01] then you must be new here. Because the
[02:26:03] second it's out there, it's mine. Yours,
[02:26:07] theirs, ours. And sweetheart, I don't
[02:26:10] just find the skeletons in your closet.
[02:26:13] I drag them out, hand them a mic, and
[02:26:15] let them do the talking. So, welcome
[02:26:18] back, my darlings. Let's dig in.
[02:26:22] Okay, so I know some of you are probably
[02:26:25] so over me talking about, you guessed
[02:26:28] it, you know who. The big, bold,
[02:26:32] blinding white neon letters burning a
[02:26:34] hole through the desert sky.
[02:26:37] Variant labs. So buckle up, babes,
[02:26:40] because on today's episode, I've
[02:26:42] collected a few folks, real charmers,
[02:26:44] who I think are going to crack this
[02:26:46] thing wide open like a can of worms.
[02:26:51] Oh god, I thought he was I thought she
[02:26:53] was going to say beans.
[02:26:59] Seriously, I was only half joking. Kylo,
[02:27:03] why are you bringing a a vagrant into
[02:27:05] our private studio?
[02:27:08] F and jabs
[02:27:09] which again I remind you I just cleaned
[02:27:12] for the fifth time this week.
[02:27:14] Oh failen lighten up. It'll be a steady
[02:27:17] interview. Anyways,
[02:27:20] I forgot your name already. What was it
[02:27:22] again?
[02:27:24] I never gave my name. I only said I'd
[02:27:27] sit down in your little studio here for
[02:27:30] five minutes for 50 bucks. Never said
[02:27:34] I'd give a damn name.
[02:27:37] Oh,
[02:27:38] well that's perfectly dandy. No names
[02:27:41] needed. Let's get down to the core root
[02:27:43] of this, though. What can you tell me
[02:27:45] about Variant Labs?
[02:27:47] Variant jabs. Variant ys. Variant
[02:27:50] schmabs.
[02:27:52] Variant labs. Yes. The complaining about
[02:27:55] on the street yelling at bystanders to
[02:27:58] not trust.
[02:28:00] The place you told my lovely assistant
[02:28:02] Failen about. Remember
[02:28:04] Failen?
[02:28:06] Oh yeah, the woman with that huge nose.
[02:28:10] Right.
[02:28:10] Huge. Hey, watch your tongue, street
[02:28:14] scum.
[02:28:16] Now then, Variant Labs.
[02:28:20] Let's see here. Uh, Variant Labs is not
[02:28:23] to be trusted. Simply stated,
[02:28:27] Variant Labs is I mad house. Yeah. Yeah,
[02:28:31] it's a mouthouse. All right.
[02:28:35] Are you serious? Is that all you got?
[02:28:38] Well, yeah. That's the point, isn't it?
[02:28:42] They got those guys in suits talking
[02:28:44] like snakes, smiling like vultures with
[02:28:47] teeth. People disappear. Street lights
[02:28:50] flicker. Feral dogs won't go near the
[02:28:53] damn place. But I could say the same
[02:28:56] thing about the city we live in, too.
[02:28:59] Zion's corrupt wholeheartedly.
[02:29:02] What? What did that say? Sorry, I saw
[02:29:05] text
[02:29:06] like
[02:29:07] missing child
[02:29:08] sounds corrupt wholeheartedly.
[02:29:11] Um. Huh?
[02:29:13] Anything else?
[02:29:14] Well, now that you mention it, my mama
[02:29:17] didn't raise a quitter
[02:29:19] and that's why I never quit drinking.
[02:29:21] Now, about my pay.
[02:29:23] Okay, buddy.
[02:29:25] Yeah, sure. Just get out of my studio.
[02:29:28] I didn't want to be on your dumb show
[02:29:30] anyway. All y'all do is whine.
[02:29:33] Doors opening.
[02:29:38] Uh, goodbye.
[02:29:39] I don't know. I wasn't paying attention
[02:29:41] to you. Apologies about that, folks. Not
[02:29:45] everyone we bring on the show is going
[02:29:46] to be cooperative. Anywh who, let's
[02:29:49] continue. Our next guest is straight
[02:29:51] from the side winding streets of East
[02:29:53] Zion in a little mom and pop owned
[02:29:56] pharmacy. Hopefully, he'll be a little
[02:29:58] less money hungry. Wait, we're supposed
[02:30:01] to pay this guy? Not unless we have to.
[02:30:04] Doors opening.
[02:30:07] Who we got next?
[02:30:08] Well, now how are we feeling today?
[02:30:12] Doctor
[02:30:13] Langley. Just Langley. And technically
[02:30:16] speaking, I am a pharmacist.
[02:30:18] Okay, Langley, tell me, what does a
[02:30:21] local pharmacist know about a much
[02:30:23] bigger corporation like Variant Labs?
[02:30:25] Well, Kylo, it's quite simple. Most
[02:30:28] major health advancements come out of
[02:30:30] the bow wart. Sure. But the bigger these
[02:30:32] institutions get, the more people will
[02:30:35] just become a disposable tool. Somewhere
[02:30:37] along the way, they forget what it means
[02:30:39] to truly care about the actual work.
[02:30:41] They play it safe. They follow the
[02:30:43] crowd. They do only what they're told to
[02:30:45] do and never question a thing.
[02:30:48] Okay. And where does Variant Labs fit
[02:30:52] into this?
[02:30:53] We're getting there. My point is people
[02:30:55] need to carve their own path. The bigger
[02:30:58] the company, the deeper the secrets. I,
[02:31:00] however, chose a different directive.
[02:31:02] Owning and operating my own pharmacy
[02:31:04] gave me a whole new perspective on how
[02:31:06] those companies really work.
[02:31:08] Like mentally,
[02:31:12] no, physically, I have access to larger
[02:31:14] client profiles, deeper connections,
[02:31:16] more information. And unlike some of
[02:31:18] these drones, I'm not stuck in that
[02:31:20] submissive mindset. The one where you
[02:31:22] see shady details and just shrug them
[02:31:24] off because your boss says so. Oo,
[02:31:27] Langley.
[02:31:28] He's the whistleblower
[02:31:30] information and gawking at it
[02:31:32] in a just sense.
[02:31:34] Take the brilliant mind of Dr. Brian for
[02:31:35] example. You remember him, don't you,
[02:31:38] Kylo?
[02:31:38] Uh, no. Does he work for Variant Labs?
[02:31:43] No, but he used to. For a while, Dr.
[02:31:46] Brian was one of the lead procurement
[02:31:47] officers at Variant. He personally
[02:31:49] arranged shipments that were severely
[02:31:51] classified to the point he begged me not
[02:31:53] to take a second look. But here's the
[02:31:55] thing. Anytime someone places an order
[02:31:58] from a rare herb or item from outside
[02:32:00] the country, it has to go through a
[02:32:02] smaller independent business. That's
[02:32:05] just how things work in this
[02:32:06] god-forsaken city. Thanks, Faze. So,
[02:32:10] since he chose me to place the order, I
[02:32:12] got access to his logs. But I was a
[02:32:15] little nosier than most.
[02:32:17] And what was in them?
[02:32:19] Get this. Butterfly wings.
[02:32:24] Butterfly wings.
[02:32:26] Courier.
[02:32:28] Butterfly wings. Strange, but not
[02:32:31] uncommon.
[02:32:32] But that's just it, Kylo. These weren't
[02:32:34] fabricated, printed, or even made out of
[02:32:36] some cheap plastic. They were taken
[02:32:39] directly from a source that harvests
[02:32:41] them by hand, torn from live
[02:32:43] butterflies. And the worst part, Brian
[02:32:46] and Variant knew. They knew exactly how
[02:32:48] that company operated and still ordered
[02:32:50] over 60 vials. What? That's disgusting.
[02:32:56] Yes, that was my reaction, too. Why
[02:32:59] would Variant Labs need butterfly wings?
[02:33:01] Well, maybe I'll ask Brian. Have him on
[02:33:04] the show next.
[02:33:05] How are you going to do that? Are you
[02:33:07] good with a shovel?
[02:33:08] What do you mean?
[02:33:10] Oh, is he Brian left his position at
[02:33:13] Variant Labs unexpectedly during a time
[02:33:16] where he was supposedly working on a big
[02:33:18] project with Adrien. At least that's
[02:33:20] what he told me during a conversation
[02:33:22] over a shipment. And well,
[02:33:24] well, what?
[02:33:27] They found him in a ditch.
[02:33:29] Oh,
[02:33:29] just outside the Zion border. Not even a
[02:33:31] week later.
[02:33:33] Dead is the safest and most ethical word
[02:33:36] I can use right now. Lately, the local
[02:33:38] authorities are still working to deter
[02:33:40] that say I'll have to say that later.
[02:33:42] The condition he was left in, it's
[02:33:44] it's unsettling to say the least.
[02:33:46] What? Who was that? Well, that's
[02:33:49] comforting.
[02:33:52] I'm not even quite sure how to respond
[02:33:54] to that.
[02:33:56] Do Do you think Varian?
[02:33:59] I I don't I bet
[02:34:00] human.
[02:34:01] I don't know what I think. At the end of
[02:34:04] the day, it's Zion. So, who's really
[02:34:08] going to care about a dead scientist?
[02:34:09] Chicky
[02:34:11] life and hum. And they even get to meet
[02:34:13] the kids. Here's Michelle's chicking
[02:34:16] child and human development. Human
[02:34:18] development. Human development. Human
[02:34:19] development.
[02:34:20] Thank you for tuning in to this channel.
[02:34:22] Human development. Human development.
[02:34:23] Human development. Human development.
[02:34:25] Human development. Human development.
[02:34:26] Human.
[02:34:28] The village is brought to you by city.
[02:34:30] Those who chose the city over the north.
[02:34:33] Okay. Whistleblower. Well, I I would say
[02:34:35] that Langley is the whistleblower.
[02:34:38] It's this guy's This guy was the
[02:34:40] whistleblower. So we have this situation
[02:34:43] where we have we start off with more
[02:34:46] people being missing. Um again more eyes
[02:34:49] being directed at Zion not Zion sorry at
[02:34:53] Variant Labs. And again you got to
[02:34:55] remember Variant Labs is outside the
[02:35:00] borders of this city. So technically
[02:35:03] they shouldn't be able to interfere with
[02:35:05] whatever is happening in Zion and the
[02:35:07] residents who live there and whatnot.
[02:35:10] something is happening and variant labs
[02:35:12] is doing something and interfering
[02:35:15] possibly with the city of Zion and its
[02:35:18] residents. I wonder if Zion also like
[02:35:21] the city of Zion actually has like
[02:35:23] literal walls, you know, like massive
[02:35:26] walls to keep things out. And that that
[02:35:29] could explain why still things would
[02:35:32] happen because remember with the dude in
[02:35:34] the um in that episode who had like the
[02:35:37] deer stuffed inside of him, he got
[02:35:39] abducted and possibly was flown away by
[02:35:43] something. And then they mentioned
[02:35:46] butterfly wings,
[02:35:50] which is Oh, okay. Okay. Like you can
[02:35:53] see this gets so much more deeper
[02:35:54] obviously the more we go through. But
[02:35:57] yeah, we have this radio, this radio
[02:36:00] service which sort of, you know, it's
[02:36:02] it's the typical gossip type radio show
[02:36:05] that tries to uncover secrets and
[02:36:07] whatnot. Um, and or they try to cover up
[02:36:12] or sort of explain or investigate stuff
[02:36:15] related to the inner workings of variant
[02:36:18] labs within a hole. 19 day old yolk sack
[02:36:24] embryo
[02:36:26] bird imagery flying imagery. Guys,
[02:36:29] remember when Mason spitted out that
[02:36:31] stuff and it was orange? But no, the egg
[02:36:34] yolk isn't orange. No, it is orange.
[02:36:36] What?
[02:36:39] But like, guys, this is insane. This
[02:36:42] goes so deep. number one ranked brutal
[02:36:45] broadcast across Zion since the hit We
[02:36:48] Eat Glass.
[02:36:51] Ouch, that hurts. Don't do that. And
[02:36:53] then you have the radio stove. They talk
[02:36:56] about this stuff. We get Langley who
[02:36:58] tells us quite a lot of important
[02:37:01] information.
[02:37:03] So, he's probably like someone who used
[02:37:05] to work at the place. Um, and he talks
[02:37:09] about
[02:37:11] what they were doing in there,
[02:37:12] specifically when it comes to shipping
[02:37:15] things from other places. And they
[02:37:18] mentioned Dr.
[02:37:19] Briar shipments that were severely
[02:37:21] classified.
[02:37:22] Classified shipments that Dr. Brian
[02:37:24] would get. Looks like they got it
[02:37:27] outside of the country.
[02:37:28] And what was in them?
[02:37:30] Get this.
[02:37:32] Butterfly wings.
[02:37:34] Butterfly wings. Okay. Again, we're
[02:37:37] starting to see a lot of connections
[02:37:38] here with
[02:37:40] you got to remember Variant Labs has
[02:37:43] their mascot based on a butterfly.
[02:37:46] Curios is a butterfly mascot for the
[02:37:50] lab. And now we get information more
[02:37:52] about what they were doing with these
[02:37:53] butterfly wings. So, apparently they
[02:37:54] were
[02:37:55] These weren't fabricated.
[02:37:56] Yeah, they weren't fabricated. They were
[02:37:58] printed. They were actually real from
[02:38:01] live specimens that they
[02:38:03] from a source that harvests them. Yeah,
[02:38:05] they harvest them by hand. Wouldn't that
[02:38:09] just kill the butterfly? So, oh god,
[02:38:12] that that's animal cruelty.
[02:38:16] No.
[02:38:17] Poor butterflies
[02:38:20] torn from live butterflies. What's
[02:38:23] butterfly wings got to do with this? And
[02:38:26] it's very interesting, too, right?
[02:38:27] Because we had that instance where we
[02:38:29] saw the dead body of the dude in the
[02:38:32] river and how that body also had like
[02:38:35] animal parts attached to its body. Is
[02:38:39] Variant Labs doing an experiment
[02:38:42] trying to fuse
[02:38:45] animal limbs
[02:38:47] with people? Cuz that would probably
[02:38:51] then explain why
[02:38:53] variant labs would get butterfly wings
[02:38:57] from live specimens, taking those limbs
[02:39:00] off and then using it for their own
[02:39:02] purposes.
[02:39:03] Why would variant labs need butterfly
[02:39:05] wings?
[02:39:07] Good question. Yeah. Why? And again, you
[02:39:10] have the idea that, you know,
[02:39:11] butterflies their wings are usually
[02:39:13] mostly the most common are orange. They
[02:39:16] have a bit of orange in their color.
[02:39:18] We've had a lot of references to orange.
[02:39:21] Mason in the show spat out something
[02:39:23] that was orange.
[02:39:26] What are What are they working on?
[02:39:28] And then Brian is dead. Supposedly
[02:39:30] working um during a time where he was
[02:39:34] supposedly working on a big project with
[02:39:36] Adrian aka the head of um Variant Labs.
[02:39:40] Yeah. Like and then he was dead.
[02:39:43] Why did they kill him? They must have
[02:39:45] killed him. It it's it's dangerous. It's
[02:39:48] it's bordering into that idea chat of
[02:39:49] like you have you you know Variant Labs
[02:39:53] is doing a lot of top secret stuff and
[02:39:56] they are very careful with information
[02:39:58] being leaked especially if like Zion
[02:40:02] hears about it cuz clearly there is
[02:40:04] maybe some sort of bad blood between the
[02:40:07] state of the city of Zion and whatever
[02:40:10] Variant Labs is doing which is again why
[02:40:13] you know Variant Labs is outside of the
[02:40:15] borders of the city. Did Dr. Bryan know
[02:40:19] something that he shouldn't have and
[02:40:21] then left because of that to try and
[02:40:24] tell someone, but then they stopped him?
[02:40:26] Dead is the lately the local authorities
[02:40:29] are
[02:40:30] what does that say? Ethel Moore.
[02:40:34] Oh, I swear they mentioned this in the
[02:40:37] channel trailer at the beginning with
[02:40:38] the missing people.
[02:40:41] Do you think Do you think Dr. Brian's
[02:40:43] body was just like how it was like with
[02:40:46] um the dude who was found in the lake
[02:40:49] with like body parts on them. Oh my god.
[02:40:52] Did they experiment on him too? Like an
[02:40:54] actual variant labed like technician was
[02:40:58] experimented on. They He did say it was
[02:41:01] like disturbed beyond recognition.
[02:41:03] Blangly, do you think you should have
[02:41:05] said this stuff in the radio?
[02:41:08] You may need to watch out, buddy. Um,
[02:41:13] it's very clear that, you know, Langley
[02:41:15] is trying to whistleblow here. Pretty
[02:41:17] brave to do something like that.
[02:41:19] At the end of the day, it's Zion. So,
[02:41:23] who's really going to care about a dead
[02:41:25] scientist?
[02:41:28] Chick something.
[02:41:31] And they even get to meet the kids here.
[02:41:34] Oh my god. What does that say? Missing
[02:41:36] child.
[02:41:38] Oh. Oh. Many things happened there.
[02:41:42] Missing Ethel Moore, age 18.
[02:41:47] That's too young. No. Is this upside
[02:41:50] down? Oh, no. Wait. I can do this. Hold
[02:41:56] on. Let me cook
[02:41:59] because I can just twist this upside
[02:42:02] down.
[02:42:04] See my skills chat? I have godle powers,
[02:42:07] right? What does it say? Last seen at
[02:42:10] her residence, 142 Oakwood Avenue.
[02:42:13] Description:
[02:42:14] something something. Hair long and black
[02:42:17] clothing, light green dress, features,
[02:42:19] small nose ring. Santa,
[02:42:22] hold on. The senator and his family are
[02:42:26] very worried about their daughter. Their
[02:42:29] other daughter, Aurelia, is also
[02:42:32] missing.
[02:42:34] Oh, wait. A senator. So, could this be
[02:42:37] like This is serious though, cuz this is
[02:42:39] like affecting Is this like someone from
[02:42:43] the higherups of the Zion sort of
[02:42:45] society or government? Does Zion have
[02:42:49] its own level of senators, do you think?
[02:42:51] And their daughter has gone missing.
[02:42:53] Both of their daughters. So, their
[02:42:55] sisters, Aurelia and um Ethel, and then
[02:42:58] that's that.
[02:43:02] Guys, do you do you guys have any idea
[02:43:04] of any theories right now? Those who
[02:43:07] chose the city over the north survived.
[02:43:10] Madam complex,
[02:43:14] who the [ __ ] is that? It is, you know,
[02:43:16] making it is I would say right to say
[02:43:20] that Variant Labs out of Zion and
[02:43:22] Variant Labs with Variant Labs is the
[02:43:26] bad guys in this.
[02:43:29] And again, I don't know if Mason
[02:43:33] and the show, the Aarian show itself,
[02:43:37] the talk show
[02:43:39] knows about what's going on. Are they
[02:43:41] part of the experiment? But we're
[02:43:43] getting now a lot more context about
[02:43:46] stuff that Variant Labs may be doing.
[02:43:48] They're definitely working with animals.
[02:43:51] Okay. I think that that situation with
[02:43:57] um the dead body, the animal man from
[02:44:00] the animal man episode, that dude got
[02:44:03] abducted and taken to Variant labs as an
[02:44:06] experiment. And I remember I think it
[02:44:08] was six a whole week later a body was
[02:44:12] found. They're doing some sort of
[02:44:14] experiment of maybe for some reason
[02:44:18] fusing animal limbs onto humans. Things
[02:44:22] are getting getting serious now. Oh, we
[02:44:24] are in the rabbit hole. We are in the
[02:44:27] rabbit hole, guys. And again, I hope you
[02:44:29] guys are enjoying this, too. The next
[02:44:32] episode we're going to be looking at is
[02:44:34] called the chamber.
[02:44:36] The chamber.
[02:44:38] Ah, butterfly.
[02:44:40] I'm going to move the subtitles
[02:44:45] again. The orange
[02:44:49] Oh, I hate that. I hate that. I hate the
[02:44:52] the designs.
[02:44:54] Oh,
[02:45:00] security audio document 42. Axel Cross
[02:45:04] night guard reporting in.
[02:45:08] I'm tired.
[02:45:10] It's 2:45 a.m. in the morning.
[02:45:14] Approximately 2 hours after a random
[02:45:16] alarm went off at the laboratory.
[02:45:19] Typically, the small number of
[02:45:21] happenings at the facility during the
[02:45:23] night, it's not required for guards to
[02:45:25] stay over.
[02:45:27] However, seeing this is the 42nd alarm
[02:45:30] that's been set off in the last 2 years,
[02:45:32] not even with me being the night guard
[02:45:34] last year, I can begin to see the wheels
[02:45:37] turning in Carter's head as he plots to
[02:45:40] make us actually stay in the complex
[02:45:42] overnight. But who really wants to do
[02:45:44] that? Anyways, I was sound asleep and I
[02:45:47] slept at the first initial hour of the
[02:45:49] occurrence. When we do have alarms go
[02:45:52] off, they're usually false. Sometimes
[02:45:54] it's an animal or sometimes to how
[02:45:56] ancient the dust is in the ceiling when
[02:45:58] it falls. From my previous conversation
[02:46:01] with the security lead, Butch, aka
[02:46:04] Buffalo Man, as most of us call him, he
[02:46:08] woke me up out of a dead sleep, told me
[02:46:10] to get it in gear and head down here.
[02:46:14] And speaking of here, I've arrived.
[02:46:19] And it's going to continue from that
[02:46:20] point. Okay. Yeah. So, remember that
[02:46:22] last time they contacted each other?
[02:46:24] Yeah.
[02:46:25] Reporting in. The doors are locked.
[02:46:28] Nothing out of the ordinary. I knew it
[02:46:31] was an animal.
[02:46:35] Let me just get rid of this
[02:46:36] notification.
[02:46:40] Huh.
[02:46:41] Still says there's an alarm going off.
[02:46:45] I don't get it.
[02:46:48] May as well do a full sweep so I don't
[02:46:50] get my ass fired.
[02:46:56] We are now walking down the endless
[02:46:58] corridors of this godforsaken
[02:47:00] overcompensating building.
[02:47:04] Nothing out of the ordinary here either.
[02:47:07] Besides maybe the uncanny smiles of
[02:47:10] everyone that works here.
[02:47:13] Oh no, it's the alarm. Is that an alarm?
[02:47:17] Yeah.
[02:47:20] Is Is that an alarm?
[02:47:22] What does that alarm mean?
[02:47:24] Coming from
[02:47:30] reporting in. An alarm is going off. May
[02:47:34] still be false. Why the hell would an
[02:47:36] alarm be going off in the laboratory
[02:47:39] itself?
[02:47:41] I'll I'll check the control room.
[02:47:48] Probably can't hear me.
[02:47:55] There we go. Sorry about that. Now,
[02:47:58] let's see what all the fuss is about.
[02:48:04] Wait a minute. That can't be right.
[02:48:08] The alarm.
[02:48:11] It was coming from
[02:48:13] What?
[02:48:15] How did an alarm even go off in there?
[02:48:19] What?
[02:48:22] Oh my god.
[02:48:24] Update. I'm halfway to the
[02:48:28] where the alarm I flipped off has
[02:48:30] seemingly gone off again.
[02:48:34] I'm making my way to the entrance of the
[02:48:38] It's again the same alarm.
[02:48:39] Steady.
[02:48:40] More awake than I was when I got up this
[02:48:42] morning. I'm opening the doors right
[02:48:47] now.
[02:48:52] Whoa. What are these images? Who was
[02:48:54] that? I saw a kid that again that alarm.
[02:48:59] So you hear in Variant Labs, that's the
[02:49:02] same alarm you hear in the show. This
[02:49:06] show is taking place in Variant Labs
[02:49:09] somehow.
[02:49:11] And again, how does this all link to
[02:49:13] other stuff that's been happening with
[02:49:15] these animal corpse, human corpses?
[02:49:29] What am I looking at?
[02:49:34] Kangaroo.
[02:49:38] Pretty cool, right?
[02:49:42] Live from Aaron Studios.
[02:49:44] I have no idea what that was,
[02:49:47] but okay.
[02:49:48] We're going to see our guy
[02:49:50] Avarian guys. I mean Mason Aarian
[02:49:54] Janine.
[02:49:56] It's been some time since we've seen
[02:49:57] them.
[02:49:58] No explicit language is heard.
[02:50:02] David White. We now know the identity of
[02:50:04] that special guests.
[02:50:07] Janine, I'm not supposed to be.
[02:50:15] Okay, bro. Glitching

[02:50:36] He's not real.

[02:50:39] Just a technical malfunction. Um, I'm
[02:50:43] not really sure what's happening.
[02:50:47] Janine, I'm

[02:50:58] girl. I um I don't remember planning
[02:51:00] this episode.
[02:51:02] In each episode,
[02:51:06] I'm still confused as to why I'm here.
[02:51:10] Wait, why are you guys Why are you guys
[02:51:12] clapping? Wait, I'm not in on the jokes.
[02:51:15] Um, woo.
[02:51:16] Do we have a guest? Do we have an actual
[02:51:18] guest tonight?
[02:51:19] Um, who do it on the spot?
[02:51:21] Everyone clap. Everyone clap.

[02:51:33] me a little bit about who's going to be
[02:51:34] on the show? Janine,
[02:51:39] where'd she go? She's always here.
[02:51:45] Oh, well, at least David's still here. I

[02:55:03] Mason, my guy, did you do some sort of
[02:55:04] special move and just body swipe this
[02:55:07] guy with a
[02:55:11] This is so weird. Also,
[02:55:14] I've confir it's it's confirmed. It's in
[02:55:16] the same place. It's in Variant Labs.
[02:55:19] The fact that he also willingly just got
[02:55:21] into this place and just acts as if he's
[02:55:25] just a guest at this show.
[02:55:30] See,
[02:55:32] I know it's a fake gun. Oh, I didn't do
[02:55:35] it. I didn't do it.
[02:55:37] Let's get back to the topic at hand.
[02:55:40] What was your name?
[02:55:41] I love how weird this episode is.
[02:55:42] My My name?
[02:55:43] Yes, your name.
[02:55:45] Yeah, my name.
[02:55:46] Take your time. It's okay.
[02:55:52] Mason.
[02:55:55] Yes, that's that that is my name. That
[02:55:57] that's not your name. That's that's my
[02:55:58] name.
[02:55:59] How are you here?
[02:56:01] How how I'm sorry. Ask that one more
[02:56:04] time.
[02:56:04] How are you here?
[02:56:06] How am I here on my radio show?
[02:56:09] Yeah,
[02:56:10] such a silly question.
[02:56:12] That's such a silly question.
[02:56:15] You're my guest. Remember this is my
[02:56:18] podcast which I call the Aaron show.
[02:56:22] How did you do that?
[02:56:25] How did I do what
[02:56:27] word?
[02:56:30] Okay.
[02:56:32] Chamber. Where did the chamber go?
[02:56:36] I get it now. I get it. You have social
[02:56:39] anxiety. The flashing lights, the
[02:56:42] camera, the audience.
[02:56:46] I understand.
[02:56:48] Understand? No, you might understand. I
[02:56:50] don't I don't know what's going on here.
[02:56:52] Let me explain. I've been doing photo
[02:56:54] shoots with every single one of my
[02:56:56] followers.
[02:56:57] Followers?
[02:56:58] Yeah, followers.
[02:56:59] Okay.
[02:56:59] However, you weren't picked by me this
[02:57:02] time.
[02:57:03] Picked.
[02:57:04] Yeah, picked. I think it was just a
[02:57:07] little bit of a mis miscommunication,
[02:57:09] scheduling issues and all that because
[02:57:10] Janine, my assistant producer over
[02:57:12] there, usually tells me who's going to
[02:57:14] be on the show, but you were much more
[02:57:17] of of a reveal than the last few people
[02:57:19] I've had on the show.
[02:57:20] Had other guests here?
[02:57:22] Yeah, I've had plenty of people.
[02:57:24] How many How many people have been here?
[02:57:26] Uh, roughly maybe like 18.
[02:57:29] 18 people have been here.
[02:57:31] 18? We've only seen a few of those
[02:57:34] people then. I don't understand.
[02:57:36] Of course not. Let's get on to a new
[02:57:38] topic.
[02:57:39] We were on one.
[02:57:41] What' you say?
[02:57:42] We were just on a topic.
[02:57:44] No, no, no, no, no, no. You and me were
[02:57:47] supposed to get onto a new topic after I
[02:57:49] said, "Let's get on a new topic."
[02:57:52] We were.
[02:57:55] Bro, what is happening?
[02:57:56] Yeah.
[02:57:57] What is this awkward interaction?
[02:57:59] How the
[02:58:01] are you doing that?
[02:58:02] Doing what? I'm supposed to know what
[02:58:05] you're going to say, but I don't know
[02:58:06] what you're going to say.
[02:58:08] Sorry.
[02:58:11] You and I, you you know what I mean?
[02:58:14] No. No, I don't.
[02:58:18] Okay.
[02:58:24] Oh,
[02:58:29] varying communication line privates.
[02:58:39] Come on. Come on. Put down the chips and
[02:58:42] pick up your damn phone.
[02:58:45] Can I can I sorry for the pause, but can
[02:58:47] I just say
[02:58:50] that is the first time Mason has
[02:58:55] seemed to have gone out of character in
[02:58:57] a way like where he thinks
[02:59:00] he has found someone that knows better
[02:59:02] than him about what is going on. You
[02:59:06] know, I'll explain this a little bit
[02:59:07] again when we go over it again. But
[02:59:10] right,
[02:59:12] so we have this now conversation with
[02:59:15] Come on. Come on.
[02:59:16] But down the chips and pick up your damn
[02:59:18] phone.
[02:59:19] Is he trying to call accident?
[02:59:21] Oh, Adrien.
[02:59:22] Oh, come on.
[02:59:23] The big guy.
[02:59:24] Hello there.
[02:59:25] No.
[02:59:26] You've reached the voicemail of Adrien
[02:59:28] James Carter II.
[02:59:30] Not this chick again.
[02:59:32] He's currently unavailable.
[02:59:33] God damn it. like me in a meeting
[02:59:36] calibrating equipment or reviewing about
[02:59:39] 17 grant proposals.
[02:59:41] Oh, [ __ ]
[02:59:42] I've been asked
[02:59:43] what why do you say it like that
[02:59:46] to set this up for him? I don't know
[02:59:49] why. Please leave a message and I'm sure
[02:59:52] he'll get back to you when he's done.
[02:59:54] What?
[02:59:56] Why does he I'm not
[03:00:00] I'm not saying that. Please just hit me
[03:00:02] with the he's off being a genius line so
[03:00:04] I can slam my head into a brick wall
[03:00:07] when he's done saving the world. Please
[03:00:11] leave your name, number, and a brief
[03:00:15] message and he'll return your call. Oh,
[03:00:18] and by the way,
[03:00:20] oh for you'd like to know. My name is J.
[03:00:26] Adrien, it's Butch.
[03:00:28] No. Is that actually a
[03:00:31] We
[03:00:33] have a problem.
[03:00:43] Okay. Okay. Hello, butterfly. Did I read
[03:00:47] the description for this one? I didn't
[03:00:49] read the description. Okay. System
[03:00:52] notice. The media is no longer connected
[03:00:54] to its original broadcast
[03:00:56] infrastructure. On this episode of the
[03:00:58] Avarian Show, we'd like to welcome
[03:01:01] technical override required. Contact
[03:01:04] Adrian Carter, Adrien James Carter II.
[03:01:08] Thanks to Dash Dash for being part of
[03:01:11] episode 3. Axton, this is now the
[03:01:15] continuation of the thing where like
[03:01:16] Axton was told by Butch to go in into
[03:01:19] Variant Labs to check out for security
[03:01:24] in terms of an alarm going off. So this
[03:01:25] is now continuing that side of the
[03:01:28] story. He tries to outsource where the
[03:01:32] alarm came from. Doing so he's confused.
[03:01:36] He says why is it coming from there? And
[03:01:39] I'm
[03:01:41] he's referring to the show which I think
[03:01:45] is taking place in the chamber. That's
[03:01:47] we've also seen messages of something
[03:01:49] related to the chamber. So, wherever the
[03:01:53] set of this show is taking place, it's
[03:01:55] taking place in this sort of chamber in
[03:01:58] Variant Labs. And apparently the alarm
[03:02:01] is not supposed to come from there, but
[03:02:03] it is, which is why we then find Axton
[03:02:07] in this show.
[03:02:09] But the way Mason sort of like glitches
[03:02:12] out here, it's almost as if this is
[03:02:15] something that shouldn't be happening.
[03:02:17] And because Axent is going to go there,
[03:02:22] he needs to be present almost. You can't
[03:02:25] have one without the other. There's also
[03:02:27] some images.
[03:02:29] I'm opening the door.
[03:02:29] I want to see if I can see.
[03:02:34] Who Who's this kid?
[03:02:38] Who was that?
[03:02:41] Are these just random images?
[03:02:44] We see We see images of animals. We know
[03:02:47] animals are connected to all of this.
[03:02:51] I don't even know, man. It's it's
[03:02:54] there's so much to this. But yeah, Mason
[03:02:59] starts glitching
[03:03:01] again.
[03:03:03] Is Mason a real person or is he just
[03:03:07] part of this thing, whatever it is, this
[03:03:10] experiment?
[03:03:12] And again, even Mason recognizes that he
[03:03:14] shouldn't be here. It's like he's being
[03:03:16] called in in his off time, you know,
[03:03:21] because Axton is coming to the chamber
[03:03:25] where this set is taking place.
[03:03:28] Like he even looks at his arm as if he
[03:03:31] knows that he's like glitching out.
[03:03:33] Oh no.
[03:03:35] And Janine is missing
[03:03:38] even though later on he says and tells
[03:03:41] Axen that he sees Janine and but Axen
[03:03:43] doesn't see him.
[03:03:48] Oh yeah, and then we had this tonight's
[03:03:49] featured guest var Varian show live
[03:03:52] broadcast
[03:03:55] unauthorized
[03:03:56] source unidentified guest not recognized
[03:03:59] in
[03:04:01] guest not recognized in sch is that does
[03:04:05] that say scheme? He He's not He's not
[03:04:09] supposed to be here, but he's now in
[03:04:11] here. And when he enters, you know,
[03:04:14] welcome to the show.
[03:04:15] He now just gets dragged into this show.
[03:04:18] Hey, man.
[03:04:20] Again, it's very weird how he changes
[03:04:22] his behavior cuz he's again a security
[03:04:24] officer. I feel like even if he was, you
[03:04:27] know, still doing his job, he would be
[03:04:29] like, "Uh, what's going on here?" You
[03:04:30] know, with his gun and whatever and just
[03:04:32] being alert, but he sort of starts to
[03:04:35] play along. Hey, good to see you. Good
[03:04:37] to see you, man. Um,
[03:04:39] long time
[03:04:39] long time no um
[03:04:41] Yeah.
[03:04:42] Yeah.
[03:04:43] Oh, have they met?
[03:04:45] Oh, wait.
[03:04:47] Have a seat. Have a seat.
[03:04:48] Do they know each other?
[03:04:49] Long time no see.
[03:04:51] He doesn't see Janine, but apparently
[03:04:54] Mason does. Janine is also the the
[03:04:57] people in this crew. We have again David
[03:05:00] White and Janine. They're also kind of a
[03:05:03] mystery. Again, Janine was the person
[03:05:05] who wrote that application form way at
[03:05:07] the beginning of stream today for the
[03:05:08] variant lab thing. It's it's
[03:05:12] there's just a lot of unanswered
[03:05:16] questions
[03:05:18] again, which makes sense because, you
[03:05:19] know, we're at this point in the show.
[03:05:21] But
[03:05:22] yeah, she's over.
[03:05:23] Although, he doesn't know him because he
[03:05:25] said, "You didn't tell me your name."
[03:05:26] Guest on today, but she didn't tell me
[03:05:28] your name. So, I'm wonder.
[03:05:29] Yeah. Okay. So, they don't know each
[03:05:31] other. Why did they say they haven't met
[03:05:32] in a long time? What's happening? This
[03:05:34] was a very weird episode. This was a
[03:05:36] weird one. Both of them are acting sus.
[03:05:39] Not just Mason, but also Axton himself
[03:05:43] now is also acting sus in this
[03:05:45] situation. Again, I don't know if he's
[03:05:47] trying to play along with it or if he's
[03:05:50] in a trance. Like, and then the gun
[03:05:53] thing is a weird situation. He had a He
[03:05:56] had a real ammunition gun at the start
[03:05:59] and then he gets this toy one. I don't
[03:06:03] know what the deal with that is. Who did
[03:06:05] that? Did Mason think that he was in
[03:06:08] danger and he did something?
[03:06:11] Again, what's the true nature of Mason?
[03:06:13] We we we don't know about that either.
[03:06:15] Let's get
[03:06:16] and then this part here.
[03:06:18] Okay.
[03:06:20] How the are you doing that?
[03:06:23] Doing what? I'm supposed to know what
[03:06:26] you're going to say, but I don't know
[03:06:27] what you're going to say.
[03:06:29] Sorry.
[03:06:30] He's supposed to know what he's going to
[03:06:32] say, but he doesn't know what he's going
[03:06:35] to say because this was unplanned.
[03:06:38] That's why. Isn't it a thing? chat. I
[03:06:42] swear that's the thing in real life
[03:06:43] though in actual talk shows where like I
[03:06:46] swear
[03:06:48] in talk shows there's actually a thing
[03:06:51] where like they discuss what they're
[03:06:52] going to say and then they say it. Isn't
[03:06:54] that a thing in real life? Actually, now
[03:06:56] that I think about it, I think it is.
[03:06:59] Like certain stuff will be brought up in
[03:07:02] the actual show that is mentioned in the
[03:07:04] pre-show, right? I swear that's a real
[03:07:07] thing. You and I, you you know what I
[03:07:10] mean?
[03:07:12] You know what I mean? That the show is
[03:07:15] unplanned for or something.
[03:07:16] Oh, no, I don't.
[03:07:19] Okay.
[03:07:22] Oh, whoa. I just freeze framed at the
[03:07:25] perfect point. Do you see the face?
[03:07:29] That's a face, guys. Um,
[03:07:35] Mason. Then Butch wants to get into
[03:07:38] contact with Adrian. Again, this guy is
[03:07:42] the head of Variant Labs.
[03:07:45] Instead, we get this automated voice of
[03:07:48] someone who apparently
[03:07:50] you'd like to know. My name is Jan.
[03:07:55] Janine.
[03:07:59] Janine, is that you? Janine. I don't
[03:08:01] know of any other Janine. It has to be
[03:08:04] Janine. It has to be Janine. Voice
[03:08:07] confirmed. To be fair, I swear Janine is
[03:08:10] also like head of or like part of
[03:08:11] communication. So hearing Janine's voice
[03:08:13] here would make sense cuz it's
[03:08:14] communications and stuff. So it makes
[03:08:16] sense that it is actually the Janine.
[03:08:18] Again, Janine is such a weird thing cuz
[03:08:20] like she's supposed to be part of the
[03:08:22] show. She's also part of Variant Labs.
[03:08:26] She apparently plays a big role in the
[03:08:28] show. Like
[03:08:30] it's it's very weird.
[03:08:32] We
[03:08:34] have a problem.
[03:08:36] And I wonder if this problem is the fact
[03:08:40] that Axton went into the chamber, which
[03:08:43] is where the show is possibly taking
[03:08:45] place, and something happened that
[03:08:48] shouldn't happen, and now it's maybe
[03:08:51] going to cause some sort of detrimental
[03:08:52] effect. And then that's that.
[03:08:56] Um,
[03:08:59] and yeah, I am tired. Also, I am like
[03:09:02] bursting for the toilet.
[03:09:09] I think this next episode may give a bit
[03:09:12] of light into what these experiments
[03:09:17] may just be, right? Hatch. Oh, yeah. The
[03:09:22] description. The description. What does
[03:09:25] the description for this say? Oh, wow.
[03:09:27] That's a big description. Holy [ __ ]
[03:09:29] Okay. Brought to you by the Zion
[03:09:32] Initiative. Nurturing the next
[03:09:33] generation of Zion's finest. The Zion
[03:09:36] Initiative is a forward-thinking program
[03:09:38] established under the guidance of
[03:09:40] President FaZe Zion. Again, this guy is
[03:09:43] the literal head of the state of the
[03:09:45] city of Zion. I keep calling Zion like a
[03:09:49] state or a I want to I feel like it's a
[03:09:53] state. I I do think and I have that
[03:09:56] feeling that Zion isn't just a city. I
[03:09:59] feel like it's a literal like state like
[03:10:02] a fictional state in the USA. Again, I
[03:10:05] could be wrong, but that's my sort of
[03:10:07] interpretation of what Zion is under the
[03:10:10] guidance of Fay Zion designated to or
[03:10:13] not sorry not designated designed to
[03:10:16] provide disadvantaged children with
[03:10:18] extraordinary opportunities for growth,
[03:10:20] education, and contribution to Zion's
[03:10:21] prosperous future. At its heart, the
[03:10:24] program offers full tuition coverage at
[03:10:27] Oakwood University for eligible eligible
[03:10:29] children. Um, Oakwood University. So,
[03:10:32] this would be in Western Zion. There is
[03:10:35] north, south, east, west Zion. Um, it's
[03:10:38] it's a big place. It's apparently a 100
[03:10:41] miles big, which is why I'm calling it
[03:10:43] state, but um uh no Oakwood. So, um,
[03:10:48] Oakwood is the name of one of the
[03:10:50] regions in zone where there's been
[03:10:52] multiple like people missing and weird
[03:10:54] stuff happening with also there was like
[03:10:55] I think someone who also died as well
[03:10:58] through a murder. Um, so there's been
[03:11:01] disappearances in this part of Zion in
[03:11:03] Oakwood. So interesting. It's Oakwood
[03:11:06] University that this is taking place and
[03:11:08] so um or this episode maybe uh Oak
[03:11:11] University for the eligible children
[03:11:12] ensuring that even the most under
[03:11:14] underprivileged families can rest
[03:11:17] assured their child will receive a
[03:11:18] quality education. Children enrolled in
[03:11:21] the Zion initiative benefit from
[03:11:23] comprehensive care from infancy through
[03:11:26] adolescence special. So this is like a
[03:11:28] care package I guess exposure to science
[03:11:31] discipline and innovation ensuring their
[03:11:32] potential is manif for the good of
[03:11:34] society. Interesting that he mentioned
[03:11:36] science discipline and innovation. I
[03:11:38] feel like that's also something that
[03:11:39] variant labs works on. I wonder if
[03:11:42] variant labs in the past used to be part
[03:11:45] of Zion and then after some incident it
[03:11:48] separated. Does does Zion have its also
[03:11:51] equivalent of any scientific communities
[03:11:54] or something or like a science
[03:11:55] department anymore?
[03:11:57] Also, I feel like Zion sometimes is also
[03:12:00] doing a lot of propaganda to try and
[03:12:02] keep people in the town. I feel like I
[03:12:04] get those sorts of vibes, too, with what
[03:12:07] Zion is doing. Um, so yeah. Uh, that's
[03:12:11] the description. This is This episode
[03:12:14] has probably the longest description.
[03:12:16] We're going in. We're going in, chat.
[03:12:18] Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you
[03:12:19] ready? Are you ready? This one is called
[03:12:21] Hatchlings. I think I remember this
[03:12:24] episode. Um, I think this could be a
[03:12:26] banger.
[03:12:28] Let him cook.
[03:12:32] Warning, this video contains uh flashing
[03:12:34] lights, graphic language, violence, and
[03:12:36] death. Viewer discretion is advised.
[03:12:39] Did you hear that? You've been advised.
[03:12:42] The Zion Initiative presents.
[03:12:47] The chicken or the egg?
[03:12:50] Egg.
[03:12:52] After all these years, the biggest
[03:12:55] question asked in this city is what came
[03:12:58] first, the chicken or the egg? On
[03:13:01] today's educational program, we'll be
[03:13:04] finding out the true nature of just how
[03:13:07] deep that question goes.
[03:13:11] What do you guys think? Did the chicken
[03:13:12] come first or the egg?
[03:13:17] I know it's thoughtprovoking. What?
[03:13:21] What?
[03:13:24] I can't
[03:13:28] I can't see.
[03:13:31] Where
[03:13:32] Where am I?
[03:13:38] My arms.
[03:13:40] I I can't move. I can't move my
[03:13:45] What's going on?
[03:13:48] during the initial phase of develop.
[03:13:50] She's one of the missing people, chat,
[03:13:54] remember in the channel trailer, it's
[03:13:56] the same. It It's the It's the missing
[03:13:59] um girls that were mentioned at the
[03:14:01] start. So, again, we're going to get
[03:14:03] context on uh and it's it's most likely
[03:14:06] I think we can all agree it's Variant
[03:14:08] Labs that took them and are
[03:14:11] experimenting on them now. So,
[03:14:14] I think we're going to find out what
[03:14:16] they did to them.
[03:14:19] Yeah, I just want to recap you guys on
[03:14:22] that, too.
[03:14:23] During the initial phase of development,
[03:14:26] the embryo remains immobile, suspended
[03:14:28] within the egg. This state of stillness
[03:14:31] is completely normal. In fact, it's the
[03:14:34] first step in the natural process of
[03:14:36] life taking form.
[03:14:39] Is Is that how an egg looks like from
[03:14:41] the inside? That looks terrifying and
[03:14:44] disgusting. Sorry. Sorry. I That's rude
[03:14:46] to say. Never mind.
[03:14:48] Hello.
[03:14:51] Hello.
[03:14:55] Who is that in the dark?
[03:15:05] Aelia,
[03:15:10] is that you?
[03:15:15] Yeah. Yes, it's me. It's me. What's
[03:15:16] going on?
[03:15:20] I'm not sure. I can't remember.
[03:15:23] I can't remember. I I thought I was in
[03:15:26] the kitchen not even a second ago. I
[03:15:30] I remember seeing father.
[03:15:33] In aven biology, roosters serve as the
[03:15:36] paternal figure in fertilization. Have
[03:15:39] you seen they don't care for eggs? Their
[03:15:41] role in genetic lineage.
[03:15:42] It's the same one.
[03:15:45] And apparently this is um this is like
[03:15:49] the daughters of like a senator in Zion.
[03:15:52] So this is very serious cuz this is like
[03:15:56] this is a senator's daughter that's gone
[03:15:58] missing.
[03:16:00] That's not good. Also, if you just saw
[03:16:03] there, I've seen it twice now. Did you
[03:16:06] catch it, chat? If you pay
[03:16:09] John 11.
[03:16:17] That wasn't father.
[03:16:19] What?
[03:16:21] What do you mean?
[03:16:24] What? What? What do you
[03:16:27] What do you mean it was
[03:16:33] Ethel?
[03:16:35] It It sounds like you're It sounds like
[03:16:38] you're right in front of me.
[03:16:48] Flashback.
[03:16:49] Ow.
[03:16:51] It's so
[03:16:53] It's too bright. I I I can't.
[03:16:58] Keep your chicks cozy and happy with the
[03:17:00] Zeta Wararm 500, the hottest heat lamp
[03:17:03] on the market.
[03:17:13] How How did we get here?
[03:17:16] Please do something.
[03:17:21] I don't know. I don't know what we're
[03:17:23] supposed to do. I'm just as scared as
[03:17:25] you are.
[03:17:30] Unknown humming.
[03:17:33] What?
[03:17:35] What was that?
[03:17:42] Unknown music.
[03:17:44] Sugar. You ain't never going to get a
[03:17:46] proper sponge cake without fresh eggs.
[03:17:49] None of that powder nonsense. See that
[03:17:51] yolk? That's where the goodness lives.
[03:17:55] Oh my god.
[03:17:58] Sorry. I love the southern accent.
[03:18:02] Oh, that. Oh, do you hear that?
[03:18:07] What is What is happening?
[03:18:11] What's happening?
[03:18:14] I I don't know. I don't even know what
[03:18:16] I'm looking at. Really?
[03:18:18] It's so loud.
[03:18:21] [ __ ] Make it stop.
[03:18:26] I think it's coming towards me.
[03:18:32] Hey, stop this. Please. We're scared
[03:18:35] enough already.
[03:18:36] Now, honey, don't worry. If it curdles
[03:18:39] some, that means it's got body.
[03:18:44] Aurelia, they remember
[03:18:49] father's face.
[03:18:58] So, tell me about your crocheting
[03:19:00] career.
[03:19:01] No, I'm actually kind of
[03:19:03] Oh.
[03:19:06] Oh, that's
[03:19:08] that was creepy. That was I I liked how
[03:19:11] how scary that made me feel and
[03:19:14] disturbed. So, again, we we're getting
[03:19:16] an idea now of possibly what they what
[03:19:20] experiments they may be doing at Variant
[03:19:23] Labs. Again, if this is at variant labs
[03:19:25] that this is taking place, it may not
[03:19:28] even be, but I think after yesterday
[03:19:30] going through it, there's a lot of
[03:19:32] evidence to show that, you know, it is
[03:19:34] variant labs doing these sorts of
[03:19:35] experiments uh by kidnapping people from
[03:19:38] the city of Zion. There was something in
[03:19:41] that room, chat. I don't know if you
[03:19:43] could hear it. When we go to the recap
[03:19:45] again, I I will show it, but I don't
[03:19:47] know if you guys heard it, but there was
[03:19:48] like something. It kind of sound like a
[03:19:52] dare I say a dinosaur.
[03:19:57] Are you okay?
[03:19:58] Oh,
[03:19:59] guys. JIMMY.
[03:20:12] Oh my god.
[03:20:14] Ethel.
[03:20:15] Ethel, are you okay?
[03:20:18] Are you alive, please?
[03:20:21] Please speak to me.
[03:20:36] A little ooze never hurt nobody,
[03:20:38] darling. That's how you know it's real
[03:20:40] fresh.
[03:20:44] A little lumpy here and there ain't no
[03:20:47] harm. It makes it feel homemade.
[03:20:54] Really?
[03:20:59] I don't feel so good.
[03:21:02] Oh,
[03:21:03] is called dipping. The first sign
[03:21:06] pushing outward.
[03:21:07] Not the flesh,
[03:21:09] but determined.
[03:21:11] Every push matters. Eventually, the
[03:21:14] shell splits. again. I know there's like
[03:21:16] missed text. We'll go back through it
[03:21:20] after.
[03:21:37] Oh, I do not like that.
[03:21:49] Mhm. Now that's what I call a breakfast
[03:21:53] made by mama.
[03:22:00] Guys, that was that was so good, by the
[03:22:04] way. I liked how they did that. Hold on,
[03:22:06] hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me see
[03:22:08] her face again. Yeah, look at look at
[03:22:11] that. What did what did they do to her?
[03:22:14] Her skin looks much more different now.
[03:22:18] Again, you know, we had the incident in
[03:22:21] the previous episode of like people's
[03:22:24] like they found a body that was filled
[03:22:27] with animal limbs attached unnaturally
[03:22:30] to the body of a victim.
[03:22:34] And if you think about in the start of
[03:22:36] episode 2, they mention stuff about
[03:22:38] chickens and eggs. Are they are they
[03:22:42] fusing like
[03:22:44] I don't know it may sound crazy but like
[03:22:48] is variant labs turning people into
[03:22:52] animals like anthropomorphized creatures
[03:22:58] I very unsettling
[03:23:00] hey mama
[03:23:01] that's not good
[03:23:05] design network authoriz blah blah oh my
[03:23:07] god the MXVR thing again results not
[03:23:10] found via by MX VR. We should inquire
[03:23:15] all assault files and archives.
[03:23:27] Yeah, there's also these moments of like
[03:23:28] some person accessing these files. This
[03:23:32] is another one of those instances. Now
[03:23:35] cading related uploads filter applied
[03:23:37] original MXVR is something we hear a lot
[03:23:40] about too. I don't know if that's a code
[03:23:42] name for something. I think yesterday
[03:23:45] was also mentioned of like a project
[03:23:46] MXVR. I wonder if that's then maybe
[03:23:49] something related to something that
[03:23:51] Variant Labs is working on and then if
[03:23:54] so what is it? Note to self and to you
[03:23:57] Carter if you ever read your own logs.
[03:24:01] Impressive encryption. Even we can't
[03:24:05] breach it yet. Don't fret, though.
[03:24:09] We'll keep busy. Let's see how long your
[03:24:11] little lab lasts when they realize David
[03:24:14] White is missing.
[03:24:17] And his last known destination was your
[03:24:20] company. David White. Here's another sus
[03:24:25] thing which I didn't mention in the
[03:24:26] recap, but again, you can find out from
[03:24:28] the previous episodes.
[03:24:30] There are some members of Variant Labs
[03:24:32] who also work on the actual show that
[03:24:35] Mason is running and and David White is
[03:24:38] one of them along with someone else
[03:24:39] called Janine Caldwell who's another
[03:24:44] interesting one that we don't know a lot
[03:24:45] about but has some significance possibly
[03:24:48] to this. David White is one of them.
[03:24:50] Okay. What if this is Yeah, like it
[03:24:54] makes it sound like Okay, I'm going to
[03:24:56] keep going.
[03:24:58] Mashing files one found. Variant labs
[03:25:01] Kylo Cooper guest 3.MPP4.
[03:25:06] Oh, this is from that talk show. Yeah.
[03:25:09] Oh my goodness.
[03:25:10] So, who's really going to care about a
[03:25:11] dead sight?
[03:25:14] Are you picking these off the discount
[03:25:16] rack or the trash can outside the psych
[03:25:18] ward?
[03:25:19] Oh, shut up. Hopefully, we can end our
[03:25:21] broadcast today on a little bit of a
[03:25:23] juicier note and not all this sad Hubba
[03:25:26] Bubba stuff. Our last guest is a good
[03:25:28] one. An ex employee of Variant Labs.
[03:25:32] It's not Dr. Brian, obviously. Who's
[03:25:36] here today to fill us in on all the
[03:25:37] grimy details? Go on and let him in.
[03:25:40] Failen
[03:25:41] doors opening.
[03:25:42] Oh, wait. Another person from that
[03:25:44] place. I thought Langley was from there,
[03:25:46] too.
[03:25:48] I'm feeling uh
[03:25:50] You're feeling
[03:25:52] th those those fires.
[03:25:55] I'm sorry. Could you say that again?
[03:25:58] Have you seen the fires?
[03:26:00] The fires? What fires? Like the ones
[03:26:03] here in the central city?
[03:26:05] No, not
[03:26:06] you mean plasma.
[03:26:07] No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't say it.
[03:26:09] Don't you dare say that name.
[03:26:11] Okay. Okay. Well, then yes.
[03:26:13] Plas the buyers. I do own a TV after
[03:26:17] all.
[03:26:18] Those people,
[03:26:20] those screams,
[03:26:22] they couldn't put out any of that. even
[03:26:26] with the largest hoses or thousands of
[03:26:28] trucks.
[03:26:29] Look, uh, Mr.
[03:26:32] uh,
[03:26:34] I'm here to talk about Variant Labs and
[03:26:36] Variance Labs only.
[03:26:39] Oh, yes. Yes, of course. Variant labs.
[03:26:44] How could I forget? I know tons of info
[03:26:46] on Variant. Medical records, people of
[03:26:49] interest, locations.
[03:26:50] Oo, okay. Like what? Like what? Um,
[03:26:53] well, for starters,
[03:26:59] Patrick Adams.
[03:27:00] Patrick Adams.
[03:27:02] Yes, Patrick Adams. You not knowing the
[03:27:04] name and being obsessed with Variant
[03:27:06] Labs is surprising. He was the previous
[03:27:10] CEO of the company, of course. Prior to
[03:27:13] We know about that from the channel
[03:27:14] trailer.
[03:27:15] Adrien,
[03:27:16] I'm Adrian got involved.
[03:27:18] He's kind of a recruit, isn't he? I've
[03:27:20] seen him in those campy ads he puts on
[03:27:22] the TV, though we've never met in person
[03:27:26] before. Neither have I seen him in the
[03:27:28] city.
[03:27:29] You may have never met, but Adrien is
[03:27:31] quite the
[03:27:33] upto-date Beancoat. There's a good
[03:27:36] chance he watches your show. He likes
[03:27:39] knowing how the city works, even though
[03:27:40] he'd never come out on his own.
[03:27:42] He watches my show? Oh my god, you're
[03:27:45] kidding.
[03:27:46] Patrick Adams.
[03:27:48] No, no, wait. I want to talk about
[03:27:49] Adrien Carter.
[03:27:50] I don't know Adrien Carter. Nor do I
[03:27:52] want to know about him.
[03:27:53] What? I thought you did. You acted like
[03:27:56] he and you knew each other.
[03:27:58] God, no. He's the reason I left that
[03:27:59] horrendous place. Matter of fact, I'm
[03:28:01] one of the many scientists he let go. I
[03:28:04] didn't even get the common respect to
[03:28:06] say my goodbyes to my colleagues, let
[03:28:07] alone my old office. Hate that man with
[03:28:10] a burning passion.
[03:28:12] So then
[03:28:14] Patrick Adams.
[03:28:17] Patrick was the previous CEO of Variant
[03:28:20] Labs. Hell, he was the reason most of us
[03:28:23] even stayed back then. It wasn't called
[03:28:25] Variant Labs. It was Variation Tech.
[03:28:29] Just a small scrappy tech company trying
[03:28:32] to exceed the temporary walls of what
[03:28:35] machines could really do.
[03:28:38] Patrick, he wasn't just in charge. He
[03:28:41] led. Efficient, sharp, but never cold.
[03:28:45] He remembered your name and respected
[03:28:47] those who were just another lab coat on
[03:28:49] the rack. Most of us were up for
[03:28:51] promotions. Even the people who barely
[03:28:53] made a dent in the system, he promised
[03:28:55] them something. He believed in us.
[03:29:02] He was proud of that name, Variation
[03:29:04] Tech, and even prouder of the people
[03:29:07] behind it. I've worked under a lot of
[03:29:10] people since, but none like Patrick.
[03:29:13] He gave a damn. He really did.
[03:29:16] And Patrick retired.
[03:29:20] If retired is the nice way of saying
[03:29:26] he
[03:29:32] If retired is the nice way of saying he
[03:29:32] there was an accident, Patrick, he he he
[03:29:38] didn't survive it.
[03:29:40] Oh my god.
[03:29:42] He's dead. His
[03:29:46] body was caught for nearly
[03:29:49] eight minutes.
[03:29:52] Bone grinding against steel.
[03:29:55] Oh my down, tearing apart, echoing
[03:29:58] through the floor until
[03:30:03] Oh, that's horrible. 8 minutes
[03:30:06] mechanical pain.
[03:30:08] No questions, no investigation. Just as
[03:30:11] they said, work accidents happen every
[03:30:14] year. You
[03:30:16] You were there, weren't you?
[03:30:19] Oh, yes,
[03:30:21] I was there. Screaming back for my
[03:30:24] co-workers, begging them to help me shut
[03:30:27] the damn machine off. At that point,
[03:30:29] he'd been screaming for a solid two
[03:30:31] minutes, maybe more. Patrick, Patrick,
[03:30:34] we're here. We're going to shut this
[03:30:36] thing off. Just hold on for a few more
[03:30:37] seconds.
[03:30:40] I I don't know. I wish I could forget it
[03:30:43] all.
[03:30:44] We were doing everything we could to
[03:30:47] ease his pain, to kill the power,
[03:30:49] anything. And then
[03:30:52] then I
[03:30:55] I looked up
[03:30:58] just for a second
[03:31:00] up at that shattered catwalk.
[03:31:04] And you know who I saw?
[03:31:07] Who?
[03:31:10] Adrien James Carter.
[03:31:13] Nine. I've never heard of you. Did
[03:31:15] someone escort you here? It's a mess of
[03:31:19] a construction project out there.
[03:31:21] Yes, I'm here on behalf of your request
[03:31:24] for judicial purposes. I was technically
[03:31:27] hired on by your employer. However, he
[03:31:30] didn't give much to go off on.
[03:31:33] Employer?
[03:31:34] Do you mean Faze?
[03:31:36] H. She doesn't usually dip outside his
[03:31:39] district, especially not for legal
[03:31:42] counsel.
[03:31:43] So why you? Are you that good?
[03:31:47] I don't know what you define as good.
[03:31:50] From what I understand, you've got
[03:31:51] issues with a certain case. And with
[03:31:54] that unexpected phone call this morning,
[03:31:56] the bizarre GPS directions, and not even
[03:31:59] a hint about what the case was, I
[03:32:01] suppose your boss must think I'm that
[03:32:03] good.
[03:32:05] Good enough not to need a briefing at
[03:32:07] all.
[03:32:10] Intriguing. I did not expect FaZe to
[03:32:12] hire someone like you. I more expected.
[03:32:15] Well,
[03:32:17] let me guess.
[03:32:18] Uh, just just a quick thing. It says
[03:32:21] Adrien Carter the first. Um, but Adrien
[03:32:25] Carter II
[03:32:27] is the current head of Variant Lab. So,
[03:32:29] this is his dad. Just if you guys didn't
[03:32:32] notice that already. Um, I just want to
[03:32:34] point it out quickly.
[03:32:34] Someone wearing emerald green, maybe not
[03:32:38] brown.
[03:32:39] You get the picture. Someone who has the
[03:32:41] attitude of my old f at the pillar.
[03:32:45] Danny Z. And who is this child behind
[03:32:48] you? Yungaman.
[03:32:50] Oh, this is my son, Adrien James Carter
[03:32:55] II.
[03:32:56] He's been studying law, just like his
[03:32:59] old man. Of course, with my support and
[03:33:02] supervision. Two Adrians. My god, it's
[03:33:06] hereditary. You're multiplying. What's
[03:33:09] next? Adrien the third. A whole flock of
[03:33:12] you. Tell me, young clone, will you be
[03:33:14] defending your papa when he's in
[03:33:16] trouble?
[03:33:17] I don't like law stuff. I like science.
[03:33:20] He's joking. Of
[03:33:22] course, he's only 11. And besides, we
[03:33:24] all know science is just a hobby and
[03:33:27] doesn't truly make business.
[03:33:30] He likes science, does he? No wonder
[03:33:34] he's the head of a laboratory
[03:33:37] corporation.
[03:33:38] And that's Hatchlings, everyone. Um,
[03:33:41] that was 16 minutes. Holy [ __ ] That's a
[03:33:44] lot that happened. So
[03:33:47] again,
[03:33:48] we start off by going over the situation
[03:33:53] with
[03:33:54] the the Moore sisters, um, Aurelia and
[03:33:58] Ethel Moore. It looks like now this
[03:34:02] episode kind of gives more info on what
[03:34:06] happened with them. And let's be honest,
[03:34:09] I think we can all agree that Variant
[03:34:13] Labs most definitely
[03:34:16] kidnapped them and are doing some sort
[03:34:19] of experiment.
[03:34:21] I think Aurelia said at the beginning
[03:34:23] she has no eyes that she can't see.
[03:34:25] Where
[03:34:27] where am I?
[03:34:29] And she can't move her legs
[03:34:32] or arms.
[03:34:33] My arms
[03:34:35] I I can't
[03:34:36] Yeah. I can't move anywhere.
[03:34:39] So,
[03:34:41] they're doing some messed up experiments
[03:34:43] with people and and we get an insight as
[03:34:46] to what those experiments could be when
[03:34:48] something first of all, something enters
[03:34:50] the room. And again, you can actually
[03:34:53] hear it in the background. I'm going to
[03:34:55] try to get to that part so that you guys
[03:34:56] can hear it again. Unknown humming. I
[03:34:59] think that's like a big door opening.
[03:35:05] music.
[03:35:13] Yeah. Do you do you hear it there? Do
[03:35:15] you hear that thing, Chad?
[03:35:25] What is What is happening,
[03:35:28] Ethel? What's happening?
[03:35:32] I I don't know. I don't even know what
[03:35:34] I'm looking at.
[03:35:36] There's some sort of creature
[03:35:39] in the background. And I don't know why,
[03:35:41] but to me it sounds like
[03:35:45] some type of bird. And you know what?
[03:35:47] That's so intriguing, isn't it? Because
[03:35:49] literally the beginning of the episode
[03:35:52] talks about freaking chickens and eggs.
[03:35:55] Okay. a lot of references to animals in
[03:35:57] this, which is why I'm leaning towards
[03:35:59] the idea that for some reason Variant
[03:36:03] Labs is doing an experiment
[03:36:05] of I don't know, like anthropomorphizing
[03:36:09] people with animal limbs and bodies and
[03:36:12] such. I I don't know, but but we get
[03:36:17] that it sounds like it could be a bird
[03:36:20] creature or something. What is this
[03:36:23] thing?
[03:36:25] What's happening?
[03:36:29] I don't know. I don't
[03:36:31] It It's
[03:36:33] bird. I'm going to say bird creature.
[03:36:36] Okay. Something then happens to Ethel
[03:36:40] and she then transforms.
[03:36:42] Now, I don't know if the creature in the
[03:36:45] room forces that on her or something
[03:36:49] else in the room or where this facility
[03:36:52] is does something that sort of makes her
[03:36:57] transform. And then you can even then
[03:36:59] hear her transformation.
[03:37:07] Hold on. What does that say?
[03:37:12] Hold on. on. There was like missing
[03:37:13] text.
[03:37:15] Oh. Oh, that's upside down. That just
[03:37:17] says Ethan Moore upside down. Okay. Um,
[03:37:19] there was some extra text. Oh, there it
[03:37:20] is.
[03:37:22] Ther
[03:37:27] Okay, that I don't know what that means.
[03:37:29] What? What? What does that mean? Ther
[03:37:34] Okay,
[03:37:36] a little
[03:37:38] Hold on. You can hear her transform like
[03:37:41] here. I think
[03:37:44] I don't feel good.
[03:37:49] Then you hear the flesh sounds. It
[03:37:52] sounds so clear. And that makes it even
[03:37:56] worse.
[03:37:57] Oh my god. Poor Ethel, guys.
[03:38:01] And these sounds happening at the same
[03:38:03] time we see this freaking egg hatch up.
[03:38:07] Which is why I'm suggesting again,
[03:38:10] you know, we also had that thing where
[03:38:11] like we had the whistleblower episode
[03:38:13] mentioned stuff about, you know, them
[03:38:16] taking butterfly wings off for as an
[03:38:19] experiment for something. Again, they're
[03:38:21] doing something with humans and animals.
[03:38:24] And again, this episode is called
[03:38:26] Hatchlings. You know how eggs hatch? Oh
[03:38:29] my god. What if they injected the girls
[03:38:32] with something and now
[03:38:36] they're going to grow into some sort of
[03:38:38] creature which is
[03:38:42] God.
[03:38:43] What is this? Resident Evil. You could
[03:38:46] even see it here too. Like her skin is
[03:38:48] changing.
[03:38:55] Uh
[03:38:57] uh I think she's done for I'm afraid.
[03:39:00] I'm sorry but she she may be done for
[03:39:03] guys. So we have that happen at the
[03:39:06] start. We get now context and
[03:39:08] confirmation of what has happened with
[03:39:10] these girls. So that's an important sort
[03:39:13] of plot point. Recipes kitchen size and
[03:39:15] shows probably of Madame Complex. That's
[03:39:19] the second time I've heard of Madame
[03:39:20] Complex as well. My my wings are
[03:39:23] covering it. Madame Complex. And then we
[03:39:26] have this situation again where we have
[03:39:28] this sort of um a visual and we've seen
[03:39:32] this sort of visual before in previous
[03:39:35] episodes.
[03:39:36] Some guy is doing some hacking of some
[03:39:38] sort. I think it could I actually no I
[03:39:40] think it's from it could be someone from
[03:39:42] Variant Labs because every time we've
[03:39:44] had this sort of scene or this sort of
[03:39:48] visual every time this has happened chat
[03:39:51] we always then get pinpointed to
[03:39:53] something from Zion city. The first time
[03:39:56] this happened we got the call from
[03:39:57] Gabriel Green that was wiretapped from
[03:40:00] the city. The second time this sort of
[03:40:02] thing happened, we looked at some we
[03:40:06] looked at a conversation that was
[03:40:08] happening with someone called um oh god,
[03:40:12] I've forgotten her name. It was a it was
[03:40:15] a lady and they were speaking to FaZe
[03:40:18] Zion aka the head of the Zion city. And
[03:40:22] now this third time it's happening, we
[03:40:24] get wiretapped to the radio show, Carlo
[03:40:27] Cooper's radio show, which is where we
[03:40:29] learned about the butterfly picking
[03:40:31] stuff. The whistleblower episode
[03:40:34] basically initiating query for related
[03:40:36] files under Variant Labs. Yeah, it it's
[03:40:40] okay. My brain doesn't sometimes brain
[03:40:43] very well. I think it's from Variant
[03:40:45] Labs. Someone is spying from Variant
[03:40:47] Labs. Who is it? I don't know. Maybe it
[03:40:50] could be Adrian. You know, again,
[03:40:52] there's some hints that Adrien and and
[03:40:54] Zion are not they don't see to eye to
[03:40:57] eye. We get more of this episode from
[03:40:59] the radio show chat and they bring in
[03:41:02] someone else who's a former employee of
[03:41:04] Variant and they bring this guy in, XVL
[03:41:08] employee. We actually saw this guy in
[03:41:10] the trailer too in the channel trailer
[03:41:12] at the beginning and he explains how
[03:41:15] Variant used to be like before Adrien
[03:41:18] Carter took over aka when it was under
[03:41:23] Patrick Adams. So we get a little bit
[03:41:25] more lore about Patrick Adams. The
[03:41:28] reason most
[03:41:28] it's this guy um he so he was the head
[03:41:33] of variant labs which at that time was
[03:41:36] called variation tech but then when he
[03:41:40] died and we'll get to how his death was
[03:41:43] if you weren't paying attention but he
[03:41:45] died Adrien Carter took control and then
[03:41:51] the the the corporation
[03:41:54] turned into Variant Labs which is now
[03:41:57] how we call it. But when it comes to
[03:41:59] this guy, also the way he was describing
[03:42:02] Patrick Adams, he generally seemed like
[03:42:04] a nice guy. And now it's so sad to see
[03:42:07] bro die or learn that he got stuck in a
[03:42:13] machine.
[03:42:14] Bone
[03:42:15] bone grinding against steel for 8
[03:42:19] minutes. So they were doing something
[03:42:21] with a machine. Patrick got stuck into
[03:42:25] that machine. And we actually saw this a
[03:42:27] little bit hinted in the channel
[03:42:29] trailer, too. But like he was screaming
[03:42:32] for 8 minutes in pain. Like it it it
[03:42:35] sounds like he was being crushed
[03:42:38] essentially, right? Some sort of machine
[03:42:40] that crushes things and he got stuck in
[03:42:42] that. And oh my god,
[03:42:46] that's a really bad accident, guys. is I
[03:42:49] don't know about you, but I think that
[03:42:51] sounds like a really pretty bad
[03:42:53] accident. Don't you think? Mechanical
[03:42:55] failure. We We don't even know how the
[03:42:58] machine broke. Do you guys think it was
[03:43:01] deliberate? Do you think it was actually
[03:43:03] an accident? We still don't know how he
[03:43:05] got trapped in that situation in the
[03:43:07] first place. We just know that, you
[03:43:09] know, he he died from that accident. Um
[03:43:13] they couldn't turn the machine off. And
[03:43:15] so, poor dude. He's also probably super
[03:43:18] traumatized because of that incident.
[03:43:21] Good thing he's probably left, too, cuz
[03:43:22] I don't think he would have wanted to
[03:43:24] stay even after that. Plus, he hates
[03:43:27] Adrien Carter, too.
[03:43:29] I looked up
[03:43:31] just for a second up at that shattered
[03:43:35] catwalk.
[03:43:38] Up at that shattered catwalk.
[03:43:39] And you know who I saw?
[03:43:42] Who?
[03:43:43] He then looks up and sees someone or
[03:43:45] something. I don't know if he's
[03:43:46] referring to the remnants of Patrick's
[03:43:49] dead body or if he means he saw someone
[03:43:52] completely else. I don't know.
[03:43:55] Okay, but then we get to this.
[03:43:57] Oh, I saw
[03:44:00] who?
[03:44:00] Wait,
[03:44:09] Adrian James Carter.
[03:44:14] Wait, does that answer my question? Was
[03:44:17] the accident deliberate? And did Adrien
[03:44:19] do that? Maybe. I don't know. That's
[03:44:23] messed up. If he if that was a targeted
[03:44:26] accident by Adrien to become the new
[03:44:29] head of the place,
[03:44:32] that's a [ __ ] up thing to do. Again,
[03:44:35] we're getting those vibes that, you
[03:44:36] know, Variant Labs is not like the good
[03:44:38] guys in this and that Adrien Carter is
[03:44:41] is not the good guy. He he's not the
[03:44:44] good guy in all of this. Again, you may
[03:44:46] also be questioning then though, right,
[03:44:48] like how again does this connect with
[03:44:51] Mason and the TV show that he's running?
[03:44:54] What link does that have to this? That's
[03:44:58] I think the biggest like question which
[03:45:00] is the biggest thing is what has all of
[03:45:04] this experimenting got to do with a
[03:45:07] random talk show host and their TV show
[03:45:10] that makes people get lost to get to the
[03:45:14] TV set sometimes awkward interactions.
[03:45:18] Alarms going off Mason coughing out
[03:45:21] orange substances
[03:45:23] glitching out. But yeah, we get a lot
[03:45:25] more context now about the inner
[03:45:27] workings of Variant Labs and about
[03:45:30] Adrien Carter now. So this is again just
[03:45:32] a reminder this is Adrien Carter II's
[03:45:35] dad. So his dad was like a law expert.
[03:45:38] And then we get we get baby Adrien
[03:45:42] Carter II. So this is probably from like
[03:45:44] the past or something. He doesn't like
[03:45:47] law. He doesn't want to do what his papa
[03:45:49] does. He's revoling. And honestly free
[03:45:52] will. I support free will, chat. Don't
[03:45:55] you guys support free will? You know, do
[03:45:57] what you want to do. I always believe in
[03:46:00] that unless
[03:46:02] you know, you do something which is bad.
[03:46:04] I we don't condone that. But um yeah, so
[03:46:08] Adrian wanted to Adrien likes science.
[03:46:11] Again, no wonder he becomes the head of
[03:46:14] Variant Labs and is doing scientific
[03:46:15] stuff. we get a, you know, a slither of
[03:46:18] context on Adrien Carter's family and
[03:46:21] and stuff related to that. So clearly,
[03:46:24] you know, this guy is from a big
[03:46:28] household or like a prosperous
[03:46:30] influential household and it looks like
[03:46:34] as well because he's speaking with
[03:46:36] someone called Aleric Waftner and they
[03:46:38] mention Zion. Again, that idea of that
[03:46:41] Adrien Cara does or maybe used to live
[03:46:45] or their family used to live in Zion in
[03:46:47] the city of Zion and then stuff happened
[03:46:50] and [ __ ] happened and now things are the
[03:46:52] way they are. So, you know, they again
[03:46:54] they have some connection to
[03:46:57] to the city, but it still has like some
[03:47:00] bad blood between them. Yeah, a lot of
[03:47:03] context. We're getting a lot of more
[03:47:04] context now on the inner workings of of
[03:47:07] Varant now
[03:47:09] and about Adrian himself. Um, again, I
[03:47:13] hope you guys are following on. Quickly
[03:47:14] before we go to the next episode, I want
[03:47:16] to mention one thing again. We have the
[03:47:19] mention of John, that Bible verse that
[03:47:22] we got mentioned way back at the channel
[03:47:25] trailer talking about something being
[03:47:28] resurrected from the dead. We have that
[03:47:31] imagery again. Now, if you think about
[03:47:34] it, what if the creature that we saw
[03:47:39] that attacked Aurelia and Ethel Moore
[03:47:43] could be a resurrected thing that's
[03:47:47] turned into some sort of creature
[03:47:49] monster. It's a wild thing to say for
[03:47:51] now, but again, we have this weird story
[03:47:55] line of possibly something having been
[03:47:58] resurrected. And again, could it be
[03:48:02] Variant Labs doing this or maybe even
[03:48:05] Zion possibly doing this? We don't fully
[03:48:08] know, but again, it's something
[03:48:10] important to note going forward. Next
[03:48:13] episode is Curtain Call. I think this is
[03:48:17] from when I first auditioned back in
[03:48:19] September. I think at that time this was
[03:48:23] the most latest episode. I think I know
[03:48:26] what's going to happen in this one, but
[03:48:29] every episode after this, even is going
[03:48:32] to be new to me. Is going to be a new
[03:48:34] experience for me. The fact that it's
[03:48:36] called Curtain Call makes me think that
[03:48:38] we're going to get we're going to go
[03:48:39] back to to Mason's show possibly. This
[03:48:42] one is 10 minutes long. Arthur, you're
[03:48:45] not supposed to be this far. Van footage
[03:48:48] number one from the Avarian show. This
[03:48:50] video may contain harsh language,
[03:48:52] flashing images, uh, or likes, sorry.
[03:48:54] violent sensitive
[03:48:57] sensitive material. Your discretion is
[03:48:59] advised.
[03:49:01] Sorry about the whole uh closet thing.
[03:49:03] Uh
[03:49:03] yeah, that was Yeah, that was
[03:49:04] Yeah. Did you get lost in there? Are you
[03:49:06] okay?
[03:49:06] No, there's like nowhere to go really.
[03:49:08] It's just I was stuck for a long time.
[03:49:09] I guess the producers must have run out
[03:49:11] of room or something. I don't know.
[03:49:12] There's endless like clothes.
[03:49:14] Endless.
[03:49:15] I didn't search that far. I kept getting
[03:49:17] lost.
[03:49:17] Ah, yes. The endless clothes.
[03:49:20] You

[03:52:57] the closet room of the show. This is by
[03:52:59] the show chat.
[03:53:02] This is I think the closet room that
[03:53:03] they mentioned before that some people
[03:53:05] got lost in. Hello

[03:55:51] scanner. You must watch this full
[03:55:56] alert. Liquid
[03:55:58] unknown liquid present in system
[03:56:00] housing. classification
[03:56:02] unknown liquid.

[03:56:26] we'll go back and look at that later.
[03:56:30] I can't see. I cannot see anything.
[03:56:32] Hello.
[03:56:40] What the hell?
[03:56:45] Oh, wait.
[03:56:48] This is the first time we see the
[03:56:49] outside.
[03:56:56] Mason,
[03:57:00] unknown. Anomaly detected.
[03:57:07] What the
[03:57:08] Where Where's the anomaly, Chad? Did you
[03:57:10] see it? I I don't know what's happening.
[03:57:21] Hello.
[03:57:23] Build to blame.
[03:57:26] build to life.
[03:57:29] But can you scream?
[03:57:38] Oh [ __ ]
[03:57:40] Nah, this looks so cool. Whoa.
[03:57:44] Le spaces chat.
[03:57:46] Li spaces.
[03:57:49] We saw this in the channel trailer, too.
[03:57:51] Yep.
[03:57:53] Remember the clothes? The endless
[03:57:55] clothes.
[03:58:05] Coming up next on the midnight release
[03:58:07] of the Avarion Show. We open the curtain
[03:58:10] on not one, not two,
[03:58:13] but four brand new guest episodes.
[03:58:16] Did you see that? He got
[03:58:17] four new faces, four new stories. You've
[03:58:20] seen my dating history
[03:58:24] and all of them are pure hilarity.
[03:58:27] One was kind of there, one was
[03:58:30] and insanity.
[03:58:32] You're a person back there.
[03:58:33] No, you can't hear.
[03:58:34] Yes, I can. Are you one?
[03:58:42] Introducing Abby.
[03:58:45] So, when you walk into my room, you
[03:58:47] immediately get met with two skulls.
[03:58:49] Careful, fellas. She's hot to the touch.
[03:58:52] Sarah,
[03:58:53] how are you feeling today?
[03:58:55] I'm okay. Um, yeah, it all goes,
[03:58:58] honestly, it all goes back to when I was
[03:58:59] around 12. Um,
[03:59:02] she's got a mouth full of razor teeth
[03:59:04] and she's not afraid to use them.
[03:59:07] Isabelle.
[03:59:09] Hey, Isabelle. Good to see you.
[03:59:11] It's good to see me.
[03:59:15] That must have been Janine. She's my
[03:59:16] assistant.
[03:59:17] Oh, remember the apparently felt tip
[03:59:21] highlighter outfit drip?
[03:59:25] It's him again.
[03:59:26] It's not Janine. That wasn't her name. I
[03:59:29] don't know what it was, but
[03:59:30] it's the highlighter drip, guys.
[03:59:32] It wasn't Janine.
[03:59:33] Oh my god.
[03:59:34] And last but not least,
[03:59:36] sorry.
[03:59:37] Hannah,
[03:59:41] I think
[03:59:44] I'm sorry.
[03:59:46] Oh, he okay. Oh, he did not look happy
[03:59:48] there. Zoned out.
[03:59:49] Could you just give me one second? I
[03:59:51] have to check on something real quick.
[03:59:53] Yeah, sure. Whatever.
[03:59:54] Thank you so much.
[03:59:55] Yeah.
[03:59:56] Uhoh.
[04:00:00] I can't tell if my skin is my skin
[04:00:03] anymore.
[04:00:06] Plus, of course, your fan favorite
[04:00:08] moments. More of Mason's clearance rack
[04:00:11] outfits.
[04:00:12] Blazer. Is that a women's blazer?
[04:00:14] No.
[04:00:16] More laughs, more David.
[04:00:18] I have them as like decorative pieces in
[04:00:20] my office. And I do have one that
[04:00:25] Whoa. What was that?
[04:00:28] More audience participation.
[04:00:30] Abby.
[04:00:32] Abby, are you okay, guys? Janine.
[04:00:36] Janine. Okay. Um,
[04:00:40] I don't know. I can pro I I I
[04:00:42] And of course, we couldn't forget more
[04:00:45] Jennine.
[04:00:49] The Ovarian Show. New episodes coming
[04:00:52] straight to your TV.
[04:00:57] That was something, huh? Yeah, this is I
[04:01:00] remember the ending for this episode.
[04:01:03] The uh the back rooms, not the back
[04:01:05] rooms, the liinal um space part portion.
[04:01:08] I remember this part. Right. Again,
[04:01:11] let's let's let's go into this one. So,
[04:01:13] we start off with again this is like
[04:01:15] mostly talking about the show again, but
[04:01:18] I would say the biggest thing
[04:01:20] we see, we finally get to see what is
[04:01:26] inside the um the closet room. So, if
[04:01:29] you guys remember, to get to the show,
[04:01:31] you have to apparently go through the
[04:01:34] set and into a closet room. Another
[04:01:36] thing which I'm confused about is, you
[04:01:39] know, these these people come to the
[04:01:41] show, but this is clearly taking place
[04:01:44] in Variant Labs or something like that
[04:01:48] because of the relations that we've seen
[04:01:49] now with the fact that this may be
[04:01:51] inside a chamber in Variant Labs. How do
[04:01:54] people get here? Like that's an
[04:01:58] it's so confusing.
[04:02:00] But either way, closet room. People have
[04:02:03] to go through here to then get to the
[04:02:05] show. We now get a firsthand view of
[04:02:08] this closet room. And I think this may
[04:02:10] have been like Arthur after he was at
[04:02:14] the show or something or another
[04:02:16] instance. So Arthur's in the room.
[04:02:19] There's a Zion camera in here. Someone
[04:02:22] put this here. How did a Zion piece of
[04:02:25] tech make it in this show? Um, but
[04:02:29] either way, that's there.
[04:02:33] He notices the camera.
[04:02:36] He notices he's being watched
[04:02:39] again. Bro seems lost inside.
[04:02:43] Pro use detected.
[04:02:46] Uh
[04:02:50] attempts to something. But yeah, he's in
[04:02:54] the in the in the sort of backstage.
[04:02:57] This is like this is a this is like our
[04:02:59] firsthand experience of looking at the
[04:03:01] backstage.
[04:03:02] um of the show. And then we get John
[04:03:05] Zion. The John Zion. So I don't know. Is
[04:03:07] John Zion different from Faze Zion aka
[04:03:11] President Zion? That's another thing
[04:03:14] that confuses me. You've just had the
[04:03:16] immense pleasure of being greeted by
[04:03:19] yours truly, John Zion, product of a
[04:03:23] product overseer and theatrical
[04:03:26] authority and all things
[04:03:29] zionically engineered.
[04:03:31] Zionically engineered. I think I
[04:03:34] absolutely love
[04:03:37] that phrase. Zionically engineered.
[04:03:40] Amazing. Wait guys, is this you know how
[04:03:44] Variant Labs has their mascot which is
[04:03:48] um which is the butterfly curio does is
[04:03:52] is this is Zion's mascot. It makes
[04:03:56] sense. Z John Zion himself
[04:04:00] the Mr. Pringle guy. I'm just joking.
[04:04:05] I can't unsee it. I can't unsee it, man.
[04:04:08] I'm sorry. Then he mentions this part. I
[04:04:10] I don't know what he says here.
[04:04:11] You're ready to use it safely and
[04:04:13] confidently because if not
[04:04:17] what does he say here?
[04:04:25] The entire script
[04:04:33] me something.
[04:04:39] Yeah, I I I I don't know if you guys
[04:04:42] could pick up what he's saying, but I I
[04:04:44] don't know, man.
[04:04:47] And then we have this part, too. Unknown
[04:04:49] liquid present. And when I when I think
[04:04:52] of liquid, I immediately thought of that
[04:04:54] one time that Mason spitted out the
[04:04:57] orange thing from his mouth. Could be in
[04:04:59] reference to that.
[04:05:02] And this would be this would be the Zion
[04:05:06] camera putting this message out, which
[04:05:09] would make sense. It's an unknown
[04:05:10] liquid. So, what Arthur is holding right
[04:05:13] now is an anomaly scanner.
[04:05:17] And then
[04:05:19] this is so cool. This is this is also a
[04:05:22] cool sequence because we now get to see
[04:05:26] um we now get to see like a firsthand
[04:05:30] proper view of how the set for Mason's
[04:05:34] show looks like if it is supposed to
[04:05:36] look the way it is. Also, there's some
[04:05:39] like text that goes by. Janine, it's so
[04:05:42] dark. I can't find the ground. Where are
[04:05:44] you, darling? Oh, darling, you don't
[04:05:49] belong alone. Arthur.
[04:05:55] Not everywhere. Not Arthur. Not
[04:05:58] everywhere. Not Arthur. Not
[04:05:58] everywhere. Not Arthur. Not everything is me.
[04:06:04] Face.
[04:06:06] Not everything is me. Is Mason saying
[04:06:09] that?
[04:06:10] Relocation detected. Transfer between
[04:06:12] coordinates. Too rapid. Warning. Anomaly
[04:06:15] scanner will activate automatically.
[04:06:17] Anything. Hello.
[04:06:22] Yeah. And then we and then we get this.
[04:06:24] So this has to be the set where the show
[04:06:27] takes place. So now we get to see how
[04:06:30] this place like properly looks like.
[04:06:33] Mason would be sitting here. The guest
[04:06:35] would be here.
[04:06:37] And then we have this stage.
[04:06:40] What the hell? And yeah, this is like
[04:06:42] the portion of the show where you get to
[04:06:44] see like the sort of liinal space aspect
[04:06:49] of this show.
[04:06:52] I What happened?
[04:07:02] Music in the background
[04:07:05] and then we get this whole stage. This
[04:07:07] is how the stage looks like. This is
[04:07:09] where the audience would be. That's a
[04:07:11] big sage again. Is Why do you tremble?
[04:07:15] Oh,
[04:07:19] like you've
[04:07:22] like you've
[04:07:26] seen the light.
[04:07:29] Why do you tremble like you've seen the
[04:07:32] light? Yeah. And then and then we just
[04:07:34] go through this sequence. And remember
[04:07:37] how Arthur said he had to go through an
[04:07:40] endless room of clothes? Is he
[04:07:43] referencing this? Because this looks
[04:07:46] like an endless room of clothes. You can
[04:07:48] literally see like trousers and whatnot
[04:07:52] hanging.
[04:07:54] It's like it's like a clothes store, but
[04:07:58] a weird clothes store.
[04:08:01] Wait, there was more text.
[04:08:04] Build to built to blink.
[04:08:08] Wait, did I miss previous text, too?
[04:08:11] This is the exit. This was by the exit
[04:08:13] door, too. What did that say? Lie.
[04:08:21] Ah, I saw that.
[04:08:25] Can you scream?
[04:08:28] Um,
[04:08:30] I mean, yeah, I can scream, but I don't
[04:08:32] think I want to.
[04:08:34] I'm not going to I'm not going to
[04:08:35] scream.
[04:08:37] I know. No, I'm detected. 25 ft away.
[04:08:40] So, yeah. This also goes to something
[04:08:42] that's going to happen later that we
[04:08:43] saw, but something booped this guy. So,
[04:08:46] there's there's something here.
[04:08:49] He needs to run away from it. Then we
[04:08:52] enter this room.
[04:08:54] And again, close. Hang on. Again, that
[04:08:57] Liinal space vibe. There's like a pit in
[04:09:00] the middle.
[04:09:04] Wow.
[04:09:06] Where is the ceiling for this place?
[04:09:07] Like, oh my god.
[04:09:12] And then something
[04:09:15] comes by.
[04:09:17] Yeah. What is that?
[04:09:23] Can you guys make out what this is?
[04:09:29] No, I I can't. Wow, you literally cannot
[04:09:32] make out what that is. But it boops him
[04:09:37] and then bro falls down.
[04:09:41] No, Arthur, please don't die. Come on.
[04:09:44] You can survive the fall. This is an
[04:09:46] unreal space. You have to survive.
[04:09:50] Surely. I don't know. But yeah, like
[04:09:52] chat, what do you think this is from?
[04:09:55] like the from this like angle it also
[04:09:57] looks like it's like some sort of tail
[04:10:01] possibly for something or like a
[04:10:03] tentacle.
[04:10:06] But like why man? What? They really do a
[04:10:09] good job that even when you freeze this
[04:10:11] you you clearly cannot tell what this
[04:10:14] is. Maybe a tail of something.
[04:10:24] And then he falls down. And then we get
[04:10:27] another sort of like I guess ad for the
[04:10:29] Avarian show.
[04:10:31] Four new stories. And then we also see
[04:10:34] some weird stuff going on with the show.
[04:10:36] It looks like we're going to see a lot
[04:10:37] more awkward weird stuff with these
[04:10:39] episodes.
[04:10:41] What's this?
[04:10:51] Oh, wait a minute. That's him.
[04:10:55] M M I knew MXVR had some sort of
[04:10:58] significance. Look at that. MXVR again
[04:11:01] right there. Says birthday here. 8:17
[04:11:04] p.m. 24.
[04:11:08] This is a birthday party. The plot
[04:11:10] thickens. What?
[04:11:11] That must have been Janine.
[04:11:14] A lot of weird stuff. A lot of weird
[04:11:16] stuff. because I'm so intrigued to see
[04:11:18] where this is heading because again, I
[04:11:19] feel like there's just so much different
[04:11:21] things happening all at once that it can
[04:11:23] also feel like sometimes it's going to
[04:11:26] make me go insane cuz I have to factor
[04:11:28] in a lot of things. But again, it comes
[04:11:31] that back to comes back down to that
[04:11:33] idea that this show is linked to
[04:11:38] everything that's happening with like
[04:11:40] the human experiments,
[04:11:42] the stuff that Variant Labs is doing,
[04:11:44] the stuff that Zion is doing. Again, in
[04:11:48] this episode of the show, we see some
[04:11:51] sort of glitchy screens and texts with
[04:11:55] some ominous writing such as stuff like,
[04:11:58] "I seek it." Or this moment here with
[04:12:02] Abby where it says, "Grow, little
[04:12:04] shadow, for when you are full, I will
[04:12:06] drink you whole." Now, I've already
[04:12:09] mentioned that Variant Labs may have
[04:12:11] some connection to this show since, you
[04:12:13] know, we see this happening in the
[04:12:16] facility of Variant Labs, but now this
[04:12:20] is also showing signs that maybe a third
[04:12:22] party is involved in possibly
[04:12:25] interfering with the show. You got to
[04:12:27] remember whenever this text appears, it
[04:12:29] has that like green color. And what is
[04:12:33] green associated with? Well, there is
[04:12:35] Zion, the faction of Zion. So, could
[04:12:38] Zion be possibly interfering? But even
[04:12:41] so, this sort of text that we see is
[04:12:44] very ominous, very forboding. And I
[04:12:48] wonder if this could also relate to the
[04:12:51] idea of something being resurrected,
[04:12:54] as we've seen hinted through other
[04:12:58] screenshots or moments with the screen
[04:13:00] glitching with text.
[04:13:02] Right, but now we're going to go to our
[04:13:04] next episode. This one is called The
[04:13:06] Incident. Now, this from this point
[04:13:08] onwards, chat, I have not seen any of
[04:13:13] the rest of the episodes. That last
[04:13:15] episode we just looked at was the last
[04:13:18] episode I ever saw of the show properly
[04:13:21] back in September when I first
[04:13:22] auditioned. So now even I don't know
[04:13:26] what to expect. So this is going to be
[04:13:28] exciting, right? Description. The
[04:13:32] recovered audio and video footage of the
[04:13:34] unexplained alarms. Again, those alarms,
[04:13:37] those alarms that you guys have been
[04:13:38] hearing a lot of video footage of the
[04:13:41] unexplained alarms and the morning
[04:13:43] after. This audio is owned by Variant
[04:13:46] Labs and Variant Communications. The
[04:13:48] next chapter of the Orian Show, a splice
[04:13:50] between analog horror, ARGs, and
[04:13:51] Fanfish, all piled into one mixed media
[04:13:53] horror series. We gathered in a room
[04:13:56] after the night that Axton experienced
[04:13:59] hell on a talk show that now apparently
[04:14:02] exists in the most dangerous part of the
[04:14:05] lab. We introduce some of the main
[04:14:08] characters and what lies beyond the
[04:14:09] depth of variant labs as well as an
[04:14:12] entirely intertwined story line.
[04:14:16] Wow, thank you for the synopsis.
[04:14:19] So this is going to be so if you guys
[04:14:21] remember this is taking place after the
[04:14:23] chamber episode when the security
[04:14:25] officer went into the show and by
[04:14:30] accident in a way and triggered the show
[04:14:32] to begin and triggered Mason's arrival.
[04:14:35] We're going to be continuing from that
[04:14:36] point onwards. Now Angel number three
[04:14:40] error. Yeah. And then we see MXVR again.
[04:14:42] So I knew it. MXVR is the name of some
[04:14:46] sort of project. I feel like that's
[04:14:47] going on. This one is 15 minutes long.
[04:14:52] Adrien,
[04:14:57] you don't go right now. We are
[04:15:02] Adrien, you don't go right now. We are
[04:15:02] all going to die. Not just him.
[04:15:07] Nova, what are you waiting for? Hit that
[04:15:10] damn button. You don't have time.
[04:15:13] Adrian, no.
[04:15:19] Adrian, we have to go now. There's no
[04:15:21] time.
[04:15:29] Call from Matthew's calling.
[04:15:32] Hello, dear. This is Angela. You've
[04:15:34] reached the Bennett residence. Damian
[04:15:36] and I can't come to the phone right now,
[04:15:37] but we'd love to hear from you. If you
[04:15:40] wouldn't mind leaving your name, number,
[04:15:41] and a little message about why you
[04:15:43] called. We'll get back to you just as
[04:15:45] soon as we can. Thank you and take care
[04:15:47] of yourself. All right.
[04:15:51] Um, hello Damian.
[04:15:54] I swear I called your personal cell. I
[04:15:57] don't think I even have your house
[04:15:58] number.
[04:16:01] Damian will get back to you just as soon
[04:16:04] as he can.
[04:16:07] Thanks and have a wonderful day.
[04:16:09] Why did you sound like that? What's
[04:16:11] basic lady? Also, Damian, um that's the
[04:16:14] um that's in the animal man episode who
[04:16:16] was with um Sergeant Matthews
[04:16:20] during the um incident where they found
[04:16:21] the dead body with the mutilated animal
[04:16:25] limbs on the guy. Yeah. Damen Bennett.
[04:16:27] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I was just trying to
[04:16:29] remember who that name. The thing with
[04:16:31] going through series like these is that
[04:16:33] when there's a lot of characters, you
[04:16:34] have to try and remember all of the
[04:16:35] freaking uh people involved. Okay. I
[04:16:39] sorry about the pause, but I just want I
[04:16:41] just want to remind everyone that that's
[04:16:43] who that is. Okay,
[04:16:46] it's it's Matthews. Uh I know it's 3:00
[04:16:51] in the morning, but I'm sorry. I know I
[04:16:54] shouldn't be calling. I just um I I I
[04:16:58] shouldn't I can't I can't can't even put
[04:17:01] my truck in to drive.
[04:17:05] Oh, he sounds so scared right now.
[04:17:06] Scene right now. They called me straight
[04:17:09] out the door. Said it was urgent.
[04:17:11] Amy, it's uh it's Senator Moore's
[04:17:14] daughters.
[04:17:17] Yep. Mhm.
[04:17:18] They're
[04:17:20] dead.
[04:17:21] Possibly murdered.
[04:17:24] I'm not even sure.
[04:17:26] The investigators aren't sure either.
[04:17:28] And that's what gets me, Damian. This is
[04:17:31] their job. They're supposed to know what
[04:17:33] they're looking at. That's what they're
[04:17:34] trained for.
[04:17:36] But they don't.
[04:17:38] The girls were found in the woods
[04:17:41] outside of the Oakwood Cemetery.
[04:17:44] Traveler being with us. It's uh give me
[04:17:48] the same feeling just like before with
[04:17:52] with with Brandon.
[04:17:53] Yeah.
[04:17:54] Same confusion, the same hesitation.
[04:17:57] Mhm.
[04:17:58] It could just not be a normal scene, but
[04:18:01] but something something on the wind
[04:18:04] tells me it's not. Damian, the reason
[04:18:08] this one gives me a real bad feeling is
[04:18:11] because this this time
[04:18:14] there's a witness, a maid. She said she
[04:18:18] was there to what happened.
[04:18:21] They were taken.
[04:18:23] She swore the girls were taken into the
[04:18:26] the the floor. She said they went into
[04:18:30] the floor itself. Damian, the boards
[04:18:33] became one with with their bodies, skin,
[04:18:37] atoms, everything. One minute they were
[04:18:39] they were there and the next that they
[04:18:44] I don't I don't know what it means. I
[04:18:48] feel like even saying that is crazy. I
[04:18:51] don't know what I'm walking into, but I
[04:18:53] can't do this alone.
[04:18:56] Please call me back.
[04:18:58] Lazarus.
[04:19:00] Hey. Hey.
[04:19:04] Well, uh,
[04:19:06] rip Ethel and Aurelia more then. Damn.
[04:19:11] Yeah, rip those two girls. I was
[04:19:13] thinking what would would they like just
[04:19:14] transform into something cuz we saw that
[04:19:17] transformation with Ethel. But no, it
[04:19:20] looks like they just they just tossed
[04:19:22] them away. Oh, that's awful. And
[04:19:26] remember in that episode chat, they were
[04:19:27] sounding so terrified. I felt so bad for
[04:19:31] them. Like, oh god, dude. What the [ __ ]
[04:19:36] are they doing? What is Variant Labs
[04:19:37] doing?
[04:19:40] And they like
[04:19:42] went through the floor apparently
[04:19:45] to be taken.
[04:19:48] Now, with with Brandon, they mentioned
[04:19:51] again,
[04:19:53] um, which is what the animal man was
[04:19:55] based off of. Apparently with with with
[04:19:57] with Brandon, it seemed like he was like
[04:20:00] flown away from the scene and then taken
[04:20:02] and then they did the thing. But for
[04:20:04] these two girls, they as Matthews here
[04:20:08] describes from according to the maid's
[04:20:11] witness report that they fused into the
[04:20:14] ground. What is this magic?
[04:20:19] Please call me back. Lazarus.
[04:20:23] HEY, PLEASE CALM DOWN NOW.
[04:20:26] Don't [ __ ] it.
[04:20:29] Very XP.
[04:20:34] You said error Z
[04:20:39] Artimus.
[04:20:41] That's um that's in the in the
[04:20:44] application form. Okay. First mention of
[04:20:46] Arteimus.
[04:20:55] Okay, we'll look at this in a little
[04:20:57] more detail, but
[04:21:00] uh Metamorphosis project MXVR
[04:21:07] talking heads. Real time speech capture.
[04:21:10] Okay, loading your heads.
[04:21:20] Well, I for one think this couldn't have
[04:21:23] gone any worse. Except even now.
[04:21:27] I'm still trying to wrap my head around
[04:21:29] this, whatever the hell this is
[04:21:32] entirely.
[04:21:34] Axe, do us a solid and explain
[04:21:37] everything again, but slower. And also
[04:21:40] explain how is it you're even standing
[04:21:42] here alive.
[04:21:44] Like I said, man, I came down to the
[04:21:46] complex to check the alarm just like he
[04:21:48] told me to.
[04:21:50] I found out the alarm didn't come from
[04:21:52] the outer perimeter, so it wasn't a
[04:21:54] break-in, but the notification wouldn't
[04:21:57] clear. So, I went inside the facility,
[04:21:59] did a mandatory sweep, shut the alarm
[04:22:02] down from the main control room panel,
[04:22:04] and I I
[04:22:07] You went into the bathroom, Axel. You're
[04:22:10] not supposed to be standing here. You're
[04:22:12] supposed to be like dead splat.
[04:22:18] Seriously, are you like made out of
[04:22:20] titanium or just born lucky? Wait, don't
[04:22:24] answer that. I'm going to draw you a
[04:22:26] portrait like either all made of
[04:22:28] titanium or wait. How about melting into
[04:22:32] a carpet? I'll make it super gross. I
[04:22:34] I get it, Theo. I just thought that
[04:22:37] moment was all I saw on the camera. I
[04:22:39] just thought it was I was safe with
[04:22:43] One moment. I'm charging in, armed with
[04:22:45] a gun, ready to deal with some intruder
[04:22:47] who managed to make it into one chamber
[04:22:49] that's actually locked down and
[04:22:51] dangerous. Thinking maybe that system
[04:22:53] just had to reboot. Maybe because the
[04:22:55] alarm or the lever I pushed. I don't
[04:22:58] know. I've got my hand on the door,
[04:23:00] swinging it open, and then I'm I'm
[04:23:04] coming out of the closet.
[04:23:09] Yeah. Try being on edge with barely any
[04:23:11] sleep. Walking into what I thought was
[04:23:13] basically the most hazardous room in the
[04:23:15] lab, expecting to die. And instead, it's
[04:23:19] a what? It's It's a talk show. A
[04:23:22] friendly talk show. Like the mere
[04:23:25] environment wasn't hazardous. It's a
[04:23:27] goddamn comedy club in there. I I can't
[04:23:29] believe I'm even saying that. I thought
[04:23:31] I was having a fever dream. It It felt
[04:23:33] like one. Oh,
[04:23:36] if you were having a fever dream, I hate
[04:23:38] to break it to you, you haven't woken up
[04:23:40] yet. Check this out.
[04:23:46] Are you serious?
[04:23:47] We're saying
[04:23:49] in the chamber.
[04:23:50] Is this live?
[04:23:52] Yeah. One in particular, from what we
[04:23:54] can tell, it's the only one left and
[04:23:57] seems to be the one that Mason, I guess,
[04:24:00] is using for this this this. I don't
[04:24:04] know what to call this.
[04:24:08] A
[04:24:08] talk show. Like Axel said,
[04:24:12] uh
[04:24:13] Oh, wow. Please do bless the whole class
[04:24:16] with more of that sacred wisdom you
[04:24:18] smoked up.
[04:24:20] I'd be happy to, Willow. The lights, the
[04:24:23] cameras. It's like one big reality [ __ ]
[04:24:27] Boy, I was clearly being sarcastic. Shut
[04:24:30] your bushyheaded ass up before I shut it
[04:24:31] for you.
[04:24:33] You're just mad I'm better at being high
[04:24:35] than you are at being serious. Anyway,
[04:24:38] the term serious hasn't helped much
[04:24:42] around here, has it?
[04:24:44] This last year alone has been a complete
[04:24:47] derailment of multiple trains at once.
[04:24:50] Milo, you sure you don't want to hit?
[04:24:53] I'd prefer to be sober over something
[04:24:55] this crazy.
[04:24:57] Sober, huh? That's rich. Didn't exactly
[04:25:01] run in the family, did it?
[04:25:03] Guys, stop it. Seriously, why is Mason
[04:25:08] Mason in there to begin with? It's It's
[04:25:13] weird as hell,
[04:25:14] freaky,
[04:25:15] impossible,
[04:25:16] downright scary.
[04:25:17] Yes. And yes, it's all of those for
[04:25:20] anyone to be in there. All upper class
[04:25:22] scientists know about the protocols of
[04:25:25] the chamber itself. And as instructed,
[04:25:27] the only two individuals who have access
[04:25:30] to it are Ooh. Ooh, I know. I know.
[04:25:33] Adrien,
[04:25:34] Butch, you're no fun.
[04:25:36] Butch, let the kid finish. That's my
[04:25:38] niece you're shutting down.
[04:25:40] Correct. And
[04:25:41] dude, there's a what?
[04:25:45] Hold up. There's another lab coat
[04:25:48] messiah struting around.
[04:25:50] No, but he is quite well known within
[04:25:53] Zion.
[04:25:54] Who?
[04:25:56] Morton Lakesway.
[04:26:00] Morton Lakesway? What kind of stupid
[04:26:03] name is that? And why haven't I met him
[04:26:05] to make fun of him for it?
[04:26:08] He's our advertiser. You know, the guy
[04:26:10] who speaks for most of Variant Labs's
[04:26:12] commercials. I've met him once or twice.
[04:26:15] He has a nice voice.
[04:26:17] What a name. I bet he gets all the babes
[04:26:21] over the ripe age of 75. That is
[04:26:23] Butch, all the offense. You're seriously
[04:26:25] making my balls itch. Artemis, what are
[04:26:28] we?
[04:26:29] Back to the footage.
[04:26:30] Balls mention.
[04:26:31] Anyone here offer some insight as to how
[04:26:34] someone without some sort of protective
[04:26:37] gear, let alone a man Mason, which yeah,
[04:26:41] I'm still trying to process, could
[04:26:44] withstand a hazardous environment, if it
[04:26:48] even is one. Axel, you did make a great
[04:26:51] point. Where is the chamber? Where are
[04:26:55] the pipes? Where's the wiring? Where's
[04:26:57] the borrowed multi-million dollar
[04:26:59] facility? From what we can see on this
[04:27:01] camera, it makes the room look small,
[04:27:05] compact, even, which it isn't. We all
[04:27:08] know this.
[04:27:09] I couldn't get stoned enough to tell you
[04:27:11] how any of this makes sense,
[04:27:15] let alone how a Mason
[04:27:18] Mason is even in there. Maybe this is
[04:27:22] all some sort of illusion, like a
[04:27:25] laboratory. I don't know. It's a mirage.
[04:27:29] Artemis, could you go back and roll the
[04:27:31] footage?
[04:27:32] Wait, you can do that? I thought it was
[04:27:34] live camera access.
[04:27:36] I can. And yes, it is. We have an
[04:27:39] archived layer of footage stocked up
[04:27:41] from the past few years. Whatever camera
[04:27:43] is being used as the main camera for
[04:27:47] this show is one of the old security
[04:27:50] cameras they had in that room up on the
[04:27:53] ceiling. We just haven't managed to look
[04:27:56] over everything.
[04:27:58] The hell is this?
[04:28:00] It's kiten vision, man. Pre-recorded
[04:28:03] from a few years ago. Some educational
[04:28:07] guy talking about the many different
[04:28:09] kinds of butterflies and their migration
[04:28:11] patterns.
[04:28:12] I talked Carter into adding a few to the
[04:28:14] collection when he was stocking up on
[04:28:16] VHS tapes during uh
[04:28:19] while uh
[04:28:22] you know
[04:28:23] I don't understand how we're even seeing
[04:28:25] this.
[04:28:26] So the movie was yours. That adds up.
[04:28:29] Seeing you spend your days in that what
[04:28:32] is it? Vermin lonely chamber.
[04:28:34] Verdant verdant isolation. Also, just
[04:28:38] because I enjoy watchingformational
[04:28:40] tapes on monarch butterflies doesn't
[04:28:42] mean I want to have intercourse with
[04:28:43] you.
[04:28:44] Guys,
[04:28:45] no one asked.
[04:28:46] Wait,
[04:28:47] I'm sorry. What was he going to say?
[04:28:49] Go back to when Axel looks off camera.
[04:28:51] Let me let me let me explain something.
[04:28:53] What is this Discord call?
[04:28:54] My assistant producer, that lovely woman
[04:28:57] right over there. She told me that we
[04:28:59] were going to have a guest on today, but
[04:29:01] she didn't tell me your name. So, I'm
[04:29:02] wondering
[04:29:03] She's over there.
[04:29:04] Yeah, she's over there.
[04:29:05] Janine. Janine. I know that name.
[04:29:09] There's a lot of folks here named
[04:29:10] Janine. Or at least close to it, Theo.
[04:29:14] It may not even be relevant.
[04:29:15] Oh,
[04:29:16] no. Simply because I have to keep up
[04:29:18] with everyone that Adrian keeps
[04:29:20] important notes on.
[04:29:21] There's multiple Janines.
[04:29:24] Don't know where I know the name from.
[04:29:26] Janine is a pretty annoying name if I'm
[04:29:29] being honest.
[04:29:34] Well, now care to join us, Fuzzy Top.
[04:29:36] Bro, for the fifth time, you got to
[04:29:40] shave that mustache. You look both 18
[04:29:43] and 32 at the same damn time.
[04:29:47] Good morning, Gabriel. How's it going?
[04:29:51] It was going until I got the call I had
[04:29:54] to come in to work earlier than
[04:29:55] expected. Why is no one here besides you
[04:29:58] guys? The parking lot is basically
[04:30:01] empty. And what the hell happened to
[04:30:03] you?
[04:30:05] Too much to go over.
[04:30:07] Gabriel, you may want to grab a chair
[04:30:09] and sit. As of right now, Variant Labs
[04:30:12] is on mandatory lockown until Carter
[04:30:14] arrives.
[04:30:15] Mandatory lockown? Oh god, what blew up
[04:30:18] this time?
[04:30:20] Axel did. He blew up on social media.
[04:30:23] And by social media, I mean the one that
[04:30:25] now apparently exists within a
[04:30:27] controlled toxic environment. What?
[04:30:29] What am I even looking at?
[04:30:31] Well, from my understanding, you're
[04:30:34] looking at a talk show that's currently
[04:30:36] somehow made its way into the most
[04:30:38] dangerous part of the laboratory.
[04:30:41] I'm sorry. What?
[04:30:43] And it's hosted by Mason.
[04:30:46] Oh, yeah. This is great. Just what I
[04:30:48] needed at 9:00 in the morning. Complete
[04:30:49] nonsense. Whoever was on Nightw Watch
[04:30:52] last night did a [ __ ] job.
[04:30:55] Oh, it was you? I would have expected
[04:30:57] Butch.
[04:30:59] Yeah, right. Axel's lucky I have a quick
[04:31:01] response time.
[04:31:03] So, what? We just wait for Carter to
[04:31:05] come sort this whatever this thing is
[04:31:08] out with his pants around his ankles and
[04:31:10] a caramel coffee in his hand. Where is
[04:31:12] he anyways?
[04:31:13] Currently, he's on a local business
[04:31:15] trip. Accompanied by him is everyone we
[04:31:18] don't have here. Trinity, Baron, and
[04:31:21] Talon.
[04:31:22] Baron's missing out on all the fun. Oh,
[04:31:25] that's strange.
[04:31:26] What is it?
[04:31:27] There's a file here that seems to be
[04:31:30] corrupted. It plays right before this
[04:31:33] show of Masons that comes on. It's going
[04:31:36] to take a little decryting to get into.
[04:31:41] Oh [ __ ]
[04:31:44] Just pause again quick cuz I haven't
[04:31:45] said anything in a long time. This is a
[04:31:47] big episode because this just explained
[04:31:50] even more things that actually dismisses
[04:31:52] what I was thinking before. I have a lot
[04:31:55] to say.
[04:31:56] So, what's wrong?
[04:31:57] Well, it's nearly done anyway.
[04:31:59] I forgot to tell you.
[04:32:04] Live from Avaron Studios, it's the
[04:32:07] moment you've all been waiting for. It's
[04:32:10] the Aaron show with Mason
[04:32:15] Janine Caldwell.
[04:32:20] Arthur, that wasn't permission for you
[04:32:22] to wander on your own.
[04:32:32] Arthur,
[04:32:34] you need to get up.
[04:32:40] That sounded like Mason. Hello. Okay,
[04:32:45] I have a lot to say. Okay, well, first
[04:32:48] of all, we get the conclusion of what
[04:32:49] happened to the missing twin sisters of
[04:32:52] the senator. They died just like with
[04:32:55] Brandon. Um, their bodies are just left
[04:32:58] in the woods to rot or something and
[04:33:01] they look horribly disfigured most
[04:33:04] likely. Uh, so Rip, Aurelia, and Ethel
[04:33:07] Moore. Unfortunate. Very unfortunate.
[04:33:10] Again, Butch was dispatched. He was
[04:33:12] there with the, you know, the first
[04:33:15] incident that we saw um in the animal
[04:33:17] man. Not the first episode, but the one
[04:33:20] that we saw from that episode. Okay. But
[04:33:22] now I want to look into this cuz this is
[04:33:23] this part is interesting. Oh, I loved
[04:33:25] this. Right. Let's look at this um this
[04:33:28] t this screen. I love that whole episode
[04:33:31] chat was like a freaking Discord call.
[04:33:33] That was literally a a a work Discord
[04:33:37] call. I love that. First of all, I I
[04:33:40] like that. Um also, yeah, let's look at
[04:33:43] this. Um right, what do we have? Let's
[04:33:47] look at the desktop final resort
[04:33:49] preparation, security overview, Zeke
[04:33:53] show, Vox and cash. No, not sorry. And
[04:33:56] that says AUDash
[04:33:58] chamber expansion
[04:34:01] nationwide investigation. David White.
[04:34:03] There's something up with David White.
[04:34:05] Metamorphosis.
[04:34:08] What did we say earlier chat about
[04:34:09] experiments that Variant Labs is doing
[04:34:12] with transforming humans into animal
[04:34:15] things? I think it's pretty on the nose
[04:34:18] now, right? That they're doing something
[04:34:21] related to that. Project MXVR. We now
[04:34:24] have this also. We've had this project
[04:34:26] mentioned a lot. The fact that they're
[04:34:29] both on separate files mean that this
[04:34:30] may be something separate to what
[04:34:33] they're doing here. Variant
[04:34:35] banking/funding.
[04:34:38] Adrian's personal documents. Zion
[04:34:41] relations. Avalanche services.
[04:34:44] Florence's memories. I don't know who
[04:34:47] this is. Theo's drawings. Spam. Talking
[04:34:52] heads program. Willow's tunes variant
[04:34:56] communications. Also, this episode kind
[04:34:59] of introduces us to a few other new
[04:35:01] characters. But yeah, I love how the
[04:35:04] setting of this is that everyone is just
[04:35:05] in a Discord call. And again, this is
[04:35:10] this is the like day after Axton went
[04:35:14] into the show by accident. and he
[04:35:20] survived
[04:35:22] apparently in in the most luckiest way.
[04:35:25] So, who do we have? We have Artimus. We
[04:35:28] have Nikolai Moss. We have Willow Funk.
[04:35:33] Theo Morgan. I'm guessing these are like
[04:35:36] they're like probably scientists in the
[04:35:38] thing. And yeah, Axton just talks about
[04:35:42] what happened during the night. But
[04:35:44] here's an interesting thing and this is
[04:35:46] what Artimus reveals which actually
[04:35:48] changes my theory a little. So initially
[04:35:52] I thought that Variant Labs was involved
[04:35:55] in the show, right? That they were doing
[04:35:58] some sort of experiment possibly which
[04:36:00] involves this talk show that they that
[04:36:02] we see happen in this chamber. Well, now
[04:36:06] we know that no, Variant Labs has no
[04:36:11] connection to this show.
[04:36:14] whatsoever
[04:36:16] this I don't know what to call this
[04:36:20] the cough um yeah so they don't know
[04:36:23] about this show which now makes things
[04:36:26] even more
[04:36:28] mysterious
[04:36:29] because again I initially thought that
[04:36:34] the the corporation was doing an
[04:36:36] experiment which involved this show but
[04:36:38] now we're getting news that no this
[04:36:43] shouldn't be happening in the first
[04:36:45] place. But what makes it even more wild
[04:36:49] is that the room that this talk show is
[04:36:52] happening
[04:36:54] is supposedly not supposed to even
[04:36:56] exist. Because it's the room that this
[04:37:00] is taking place in is supposed to be
[04:37:02] like a super highly hazardous room,
[04:37:06] which is the chamber that we've been
[04:37:08] hearing about. this highly hazardous
[04:37:11] room
[04:37:13] which is super dangerous that only two
[04:37:15] people are supposed to go into Adrian
[04:37:18] and then this guy called
[04:37:20] what's the name what's the name
[04:37:22] Morton
[04:37:23] Morton Lakesway who they said is like
[04:37:25] the guy who does the ads for Variant
[04:37:27] Louds we've heard that voice too those
[04:37:29] are the only two people allowed in this
[04:37:31] superhazardous room but that hazardous
[04:37:35] room isn't present instead it has been
[04:37:38] replaced by this talk show.
[04:37:41] That's kind of wild. No, like you
[04:37:45] replace you've basically like replaced a
[04:37:48] super dangerous room with a freaking
[04:37:51] entertainment show set, place room.
[04:37:57] That's a very unexpected like twist or a
[04:38:01] sort of unexpected scenario to occur.
[04:38:04] But the again the big take-h home
[04:38:05] message of this chat is that even
[04:38:08] Variant Labs doesn't know what's
[04:38:10] happening. So this makes this like
[04:38:12] situation even more obscure. It's even
[04:38:16] more confusing now. This rabbit hole
[04:38:18] goes even deeper. And I feel like if
[04:38:21] like this top smart laboratory
[04:38:25] corporation doesn't know what's
[04:38:27] happening in their most hazardous room.
[04:38:32] If they don't know as well what's going
[04:38:34] on. This makes things even more
[04:38:37] interesting. Also, they mention Mason. I
[04:38:41] don't know if the name Mason means
[04:38:43] anything to them. Again, what are the
[04:38:45] origins of Mason in this? Is Mason a
[04:38:49] real person? Is he a fake thing? Is he
[04:38:53] alive? Is he dead? Like again, we're
[04:38:56] like
[04:38:57] environment.
[04:38:58] The biggest mysterious thing, Chad, is
[04:39:00] this show. And then now it's even more
[04:39:02] apparent that it's it's this show. What
[04:39:05] is this show? Why is it existing and has
[04:39:08] replaced the most dangerous room in the
[04:39:10] facility with a talk showroom? And then
[04:39:14] you can have other questions like how
[04:39:16] did people get to this room or how did
[04:39:19] how do people get even into this space
[04:39:22] without possibly dying?
[04:39:24] What triggered this thing to happen?
[04:39:26] Like what triggered this show to start
[04:39:28] as well? Like
[04:39:31] that's so wild. Even the top scientists
[04:39:34] don't know what's going on. Which means
[04:39:36] I feel like the only people who would
[04:39:38] have answers to this then is Adrien.
[04:39:42] He has to. He has all the answers. And
[04:39:45] then we have this last sequence here.
[04:39:48] And I kid you not, chat. I'm pretty sure
[04:39:50] Mason is saying this. Listen closely to
[04:39:53] the way it sounds like.
[04:39:56] Arthur,
[04:39:58] you need to get up.
[04:40:02] That's Mason. That is 100% Mason saying
[04:40:05] that. Which means Mason knows also
[04:40:07] what's going on. He has to know. Mason
[04:40:10] is such a interesting character in all
[04:40:12] of this. I wonder if the fact that this
[04:40:15] room shouldn't even exist also explains
[04:40:18] what we saw in the other episode when
[04:40:20] there was like a freaking um liinal
[04:40:24] space that Arthur went through. That was
[04:40:27] a very good episode. I liked that. That
[04:40:31] I love it because it made me ch it made
[04:40:34] me rethink everything. We actually have
[04:40:37] one, two, three. We have four more
[04:40:40] episodes to go, guys. This is so
[04:40:43] interesting. I love how with every
[04:40:45] episode we go into, it gets more
[04:40:48] confusing, but confusing in a good way.
[04:40:51] In a way that makes you just need to
[04:40:53] think more. Right. The Edge of Zion is
[04:40:57] the name of the next episode. This is
[04:40:59] the longest one. This is 19 minutes
[04:41:02] long. Okay. The Edge of Zion. So, this
[04:41:05] is going to be outside of those borders,
[04:41:07] huh? And outside of the borders of Zion
[04:41:10] is where there's been a lot of um if you
[04:41:12] remember, a lot of references or um
[04:41:15] mentions of like bodies being found or
[04:41:17] being dumped outside, possibly Variant
[04:41:20] Labs' failed test subjects, maybe. Uh
[04:41:23] description, description, description.
[04:41:25] Our next installment of the Varant Show
[04:41:27] throws you into a split perspective
[04:41:29] descent through earlier events. On one
[04:41:32] side, Jack's Southwoods and his rag tag
[04:41:36] exploration team pushing past every
[04:41:38] warning and common sense line to chase a
[04:41:41] story. One that may cost them more than
[04:41:44] it's worth. On the other, raw body cam
[04:41:48] footage from officers Wilhelm and
[04:41:51] Gartus.
[04:41:55] Gartarus.
[04:41:57] I probably pronounced that horribly. I'm
[04:41:59] so sorry. who receive a distress call
[04:42:02] about a suspected serial killer on the
[04:42:04] move heading straight for the most
[04:42:08] dangerous part of the city.
[04:42:11] All recovered footage happens in the in
[04:42:14] the year Z Y 47 prior to the ending
[04:42:18] which happens in ZY 51. Even their years
[04:42:23] are represented by Z Y. So, we're going
[04:42:26] to be seeing some body cam footage. So,
[04:42:28] a murderer, huh?
[04:42:30] So, we have people explore. So, we have
[04:42:32] urban explorers. Okay. Urban explorers,
[04:42:36] herbex exploration, and then body cam
[04:42:39] footage about a suspected serial killer
[04:42:42] on the move. First time I'm hearing
[04:42:44] something about a serial killer. Right.
[04:42:47] We've broken into abandoned buildings,
[04:42:49] collapsed schools, and places this city
[04:42:52] has long kept under wraps. Why? because
[04:42:57] I wanted to truly see what was out
[04:42:59] there. So, I put this team together to
[04:43:02] uncover what's hidden underneath the
[04:43:04] surface. But today, I'm surprising my
[04:43:07] crew with somewhere no one has gone in a
[04:43:10] very, very long time. My name is Jack
[04:43:14] Southwoods. That's Troy. That's Lucas.
[04:43:19] And that's Rigs.
[04:43:23] And this is
[04:43:24] the South.
[04:43:30] Wait a minute. Sorry I had to pause, but
[04:43:32] I just noticed something.
[04:43:35] Look at that prop that they're holding.
[04:43:38] That That's on the show. That's on the
[04:43:40] show.
[04:43:42] That's the same prop. That's the same
[04:43:45] prop. H.
[04:43:51] That's very interesting.
[04:43:54] We've broken into
[04:43:55] Sorry, I had to point that out. Yeah,
[04:43:57] that is the that that that
[04:44:00] guys compare it that it's the same prop.
[04:44:03] Okay, this is significant.
[04:44:09] The Southwoods show.
[04:44:14] All right, boys. Gather around.
[04:44:16] Zion for today. We're not so
[04:44:20] n man. This is way way better. Something
[04:44:23] I've been cooking since we started this
[04:44:25] thing.
[04:44:25] I mean, come on, bro. The last thing we
[04:44:27] need to surprise is J.
[04:44:28] Yeah. You still rolling?
[04:44:30] Come on.
[04:44:31] Sick. Check this out.
[04:44:34] Holy. That's northbound. Actually,
[04:44:38] that's past northbound,
[04:44:39] bro. Is that the North Zion Welcome
[04:44:42] Center? Like the one they uh
[04:44:44] Yes, sir. That's the one they shut down
[04:44:46] for quarantine a couple years back.
[04:44:49] Bro, I I don't know about this one, man.
[04:44:52] I mean, we broken into train depots,
[04:44:54] abandoned houses, but this that's North
[04:44:57] Zion. Like, practically begging to get
[04:44:59] arrested,
[04:45:00] Jax, it's it's not just a building.
[04:45:03] Like, that's a whole district. Like,
[04:45:05] government level. And like, we've talked
[04:45:07] about this before. It's surveyed 24/7.
[04:45:09] Dude, no, no, no. Look, look. You guys
[04:45:11] are overthinking this. All right, we're
[04:45:13] not going to get caught. I've already
[04:45:14] figured out all the plans. All right,
[04:45:16] just trust me. All right,
[04:45:22] dude. This is going to be
[04:45:23] North Zion.
[04:45:24] Like, we're going to make it to the big
[04:45:26] re by this point. Like, we're probably
[04:45:28] the first people to be out here in what,
[04:45:30] years?
[04:45:31] Yeah, man. It seems like there might be
[04:45:33] a pretty decent reason for that.
[04:45:35] You know, where'd you even get the info
[04:45:36] on the patrols, guy?
[04:45:39] Yeah, I uh I wanted to actually talk to
[04:45:43] you guys about that.
[04:45:45] Yeah, what do you mean?
[04:45:48] I got the information from Kylo
[04:45:53] God.
[04:45:54] Kylo Cooper from that talk show. I mean
[04:45:57] the radio show.
[04:45:58] Kylo like X7X Kylo.
[04:46:02] Kylo
[04:46:03] Cooper.
[04:46:05] No,
[04:46:05] you guys don't really
[04:46:07] The same girl who had that whole segment
[04:46:09] about us being drug addicts,
[04:46:11] dude. She doxed our addresses on live.
[04:46:15] Jacko hates her show. I don't
[04:46:16] understand. Why the hell would you
[04:46:18] I thought SHE WAS BEING NICE TO US. All
[04:46:20] right. I thought she got to a point
[04:46:23] where she realize that both of our shows
[04:46:24] can live on the same network.
[04:46:26] I mean,
[04:46:26] oh my god, dude. You're aing clout
[04:46:29] chaser.
[04:46:30] Kyler probably has half of the Zion task
[04:46:32] force on. You're being so dramatic.
[04:46:35] Okay. She was nice on the phone. You
[04:46:37] weren't there. WERE YOU IN THE
[04:46:38] CONVERSATION? LIKE, I just don't
[04:46:40] understand.
[04:46:40] You know what? Hold on, bro. No. No.
[04:46:42] Okay. Listen, bro. This Okay. Wait. Way
[04:46:46] too much on the line here. Okay. Look,
[04:46:47] bro. Look. I'm not dying for a live
[04:46:49] stream. We're not dying for a live
[04:46:51] stream. We're not dying for her. And
[04:46:53] we're not dying for your ass. So, I tell
[04:46:55] you what, brother. You want to film so
[04:46:57] bad? You want to film? I tell you what.
[04:46:58] Here you go. You do it. Have fun,
[04:47:01] brother.
[04:47:03] Guys, enjoy the welcome center. We'll be
[04:47:06] at the car.
[04:47:08] Damn.
[04:47:09] Guys,
[04:47:10] guys,
[04:47:12] you know what, man? You guys
[04:47:15] ridiculous, man. Whatever. I mean,
[04:47:19] so
[04:47:21] TV rivals. Okay, so interesting. Bit of
[04:47:25] lore about that. Kylo Cooper and this
[04:47:29] sort of like team show. I guess they're
[04:47:32] TV rivals. Okay.
[04:47:35] And
[04:47:36] he got word about this place that
[04:47:38] they're going to explore from her, which
[04:47:41] apparently has some history maybe that
[04:47:44] they're trying to discover. Okay. I love
[04:47:46] how I feel like every character that we
[04:47:48] find in this in in this series has some
[04:47:51] sort of relevance to it. Not they're not
[04:47:53] like just one time characters, right?
[04:47:55] Like Kylo Cooper, she's just a random,
[04:47:58] you know, radio host. But we then hear
[04:48:02] her mention again and you know that's
[04:48:05] why these guys are here. So I like how
[04:48:07] every character in this show you know
[04:48:10] has
[04:48:12] some sort of relevance to stuff going on
[04:48:14] and are important in it right
[04:48:17] like
[04:48:19] a 6.3 increase in nearby unrest has been
[04:48:22] detected. Please stay clear of the area
[04:48:24] and please turn away from area. Uhoh.
[04:48:26] They did mention something about
[04:48:27] quarantine here before. Now entering
[04:48:30] North Sy.
[04:48:30] I just don't get it, man. Like we're
[04:48:33] here. This is it. And like, and even
[04:48:35] worse, the rain stops. I mean, I don't
[04:48:37] know how the footage is going to look
[04:48:38] after this, but
[04:48:41] Oh, I mean, we're right there. I don't
[04:48:43] understand why they would squander this.
[04:48:45] I don't get it. It makes no sense.
[04:48:50] This place is crazy. It's insane how
[04:48:52] long this has been since it's been here.
[04:49:00] Oh,
[04:49:02] this place is huge.
[04:49:05] Big warehouse to the people.
[04:49:08] The people who chose to be taken by the
[04:49:11] over.
[04:49:12] Book your stay.
[04:49:15] Huh?
[04:49:17] I am Madam Complex.
[04:49:21] What? Madam Complex?
[04:49:24] Those who chose to believe in Phoebe and
[04:49:27] Roger Knox were misguided.
[04:49:32] Phoebe Knox. I I thought it was.
[04:49:35] They believed that all of you could be
[04:49:38] saved. That all of you were worth the
[04:49:41] risk of our lives.
[04:49:43] This is insane.
[04:49:44] But Zion is not a charity and mercy is
[04:49:48] not a right.
[04:49:51] You didn't stay behind out of courage.
[04:49:54] You stay behind out of pride.
[04:49:59] Empty.
[04:49:59] You chose to remain.
[04:50:01] What? What even is this facility?
[04:50:04] And you dragged others into the greedy.
[04:50:08] You wanted the city's protection without
[04:50:12] And what's with the power still being
[04:50:14] on? I don't You would think this place
[04:50:17] would be
[04:50:22] Whoa.
[04:50:31] chat. That's the same sound of the thing
[04:50:34] that killed um
[04:50:38] do you guys remember the the the Ethel
[04:50:40] Moore Aurelia Moore when there was like
[04:50:42] a creature in their chamber? That's the
[04:50:44] same sound connections.
[04:50:47] And what's with the pallet?
[04:50:48] Listen to it again.
[04:50:49] I don't.
[04:50:50] It's the same sound. I
[04:50:51] think this place would be
[04:50:55] Yep. It's the same sound. Okay. Huh.
[04:51:02] Oh
[04:51:04] [ __ ]
[04:51:06] Oh [ __ ] Whoa. That's the same thing.
[04:51:16] Zite booting.
[04:51:20] Okay. This is the officers
[04:51:25] North Zion.
[04:51:28] So, apparently these guys are finding a
[04:51:30] suspected murderer.
[04:51:35] Ready?
[04:51:37] Another day on the job, ain't it?
[04:51:38] Yep. [ __ ] job, [ __ ] pay. [ __ ] life, [ __ ]
[04:51:42] boss.
[04:51:43] I know that's right.
[04:51:44] Don't miss him.
[04:51:46] Who's the cameraman? But for real, you
[04:51:49] ever notice the food in the seat tastes
[04:51:51] like absolute cardboard?
[04:51:53] Well, beats what we used to eat in
[04:51:55] school. Hell, for that matter, be in
[04:51:56] this [ __ ] Hey, I don't miss those days.
[04:51:59] That tastes like concrete. You know, I
[04:52:01] can get used to the cardboard taste.
[04:52:08] Oh, look at that. Forgot we had company
[04:52:10] back there, Baron. You know, you
[04:52:12] enjoying the show back there. Internal
[04:52:13] Affairs. You know, get my good side and
[04:52:15] all. But you don't have a good side.
[04:52:18] Okay, tell me something, pal. You're
[04:52:20] getting tired of investigating our every
[04:52:22] damn move.
[04:52:24] Uh, gentlemen, uh, my job is not to be
[04:52:26] entertained. It's to make sure nothing
[04:52:28] gets missed.
[04:52:30] Agent Mayfield,
[04:52:32] you already have a record
[04:52:34] to fill an archive
[04:52:36] and internal affairs doesn't like
[04:52:38] surprises.
[04:52:39] So consider this as a reminder, as I'm
[04:52:42] sure the previous agents have given you.
[04:52:46] Every move you make,
[04:52:48] every word you say, it's all logged.
[04:52:54] Log
[04:52:57] camera complex.
[04:53:00] What the hell was that? Horrible. Was
[04:53:02] that was that your camera?
[04:53:04] Yes. Below standard issue.
[04:53:07] Of course it is.
[04:53:08] The uh financing coverage on you two has
[04:53:11] dwindled.
[04:53:12] Oh, we made him broke. Go with a
[04:53:14] hilarious with a lower end piece of
[04:53:16] equipment.
[04:53:16] Wonder what that could be.
[04:53:17] They gave me a vision.
[04:53:21] A vision mate. Oh, traveler be with us,
[04:53:24] Baron. Ain't no way. Remember those when
[04:53:27] we were kids? Dude, everyone wanted one
[04:53:29] of them. They wanted to shoot out record
[04:53:31] everything and upload it to the internet
[04:53:33] and thought it'd make them famous, but
[04:53:35] in all actual
[04:53:37] they were worthless. I'm surprised. You
[04:53:39] even recording us right now?
[04:53:40] Wait, wait, wait. Did you say when you
[04:53:42] were a kid? You actually grew up. All
[04:53:44] right. All right.
[04:53:46] You think
[04:53:47] I love how I love how this is I don't
[04:53:49] know if this is meant to be a thing, but
[04:53:52] we're significant, but I love how this
[04:53:54] is Mason's actor doing this.
[04:53:57] Oh my goodness.
[04:53:59] It is.
[04:54:00] But what you forget is you're only
[04:54:02] sitting in that seat because the higher
[04:54:04] authority
[04:54:06] for ex general
[04:54:09] very
[04:54:11] post and abandon.
[04:54:13] There it is. There it is.
[04:54:15] Gosh,
[04:54:16] I knew you'd bring up old Jean sooner or
[04:54:18] later. You You pseudoted types just love
[04:54:20] to put his name in your mouth. Get you
[04:54:22] extra points, especially when you saying
[04:54:24] that's Waldo. Makes it seem more
[04:54:26] important. Get out of here, dude.
[04:54:30] Control 7, this is command. You boys
[04:54:32] copy.
[04:54:33] Patrol 7, go ahead.
[04:54:35] Be advised, we've got a 1075 suspect
[04:54:37] wanted for questioning in connection
[04:54:39] with a double homicide. Witnesses report
[04:54:41] the individual leaving the area about an
[04:54:42] hour ago. Headed northbound closer to
[04:54:45] you all than any of our other patrols.
[04:54:47] Uh, did you say northbound? Lieutenant,
[04:54:50] are are you sure about that? That is I
[04:54:52] don't know about that.
[04:54:54] Affirmative. Chief spiked it personally.
[04:54:57] Looks as if these files had already been
[04:54:59] northbound prior to this happening. And
[04:55:01] since you boys are a tad closer, we
[04:55:02] thought we'd send you.
[04:55:05] Yeah, but uh northbound seems a little
[04:55:07] bit much, doesn't it? I mean, I'm I'm
[04:55:09] just not sure.
[04:55:11] Don't worry, gentlemen. I'm sure he's
[04:55:12] smart enough not to go past any limits.
[04:55:14] Almost no one does, even if they aren't
[04:55:16] that crazy.
[04:55:18] Anyways, suspect goes by the alias
[04:55:21] Southwoods.
[04:55:23] Oh,
[04:55:25] age 28 tattoos scruffy considered
[04:55:28] volatile seen with at least two
[04:55:30] associates in the past. Both confirmed
[04:55:32] deceased as of this morning in what
[04:55:34] appears to be some sort of clubhouse.
[04:55:38] Oh,
[04:55:39] it's him.
[04:55:40] Uh 10.
[04:55:42] If I was to guess, I'd say
[04:55:43] something must have happened to him
[04:55:45] there.
[04:55:46] And now he's
[04:55:47] a suspected homicide killer.
[04:55:50] Your eyes. Don't screw this one up,
[04:55:53] fellas. Suspect's file is being sent
[04:55:55] over as we speak.
[04:55:56] Review, stay alert, and of course, try
[04:55:59] not to get your internal affairs hidden
[04:56:00] shot over.
[04:56:03] Oh, no. Please, I don't don't let the
[04:56:06] the intern die.
[04:56:08] I like him already.
[04:56:10] He seems nice.
[04:56:11] Besides, who wouldn't think to hide out
[04:56:13] in a place like the woods?
[04:56:16] Man, it's it's not just woods. It's
[04:56:20] sealed off for a good reason.
[04:56:22] There's a lot of reasons I don't know if
[04:56:24] you know about, but again,
[04:56:28] Karns again is a cop.
[04:56:30] My god, isn't heistic?
[04:56:35] I thought they were going to be like
[04:56:36] separate stories, but no. It looks like
[04:56:38] they connected here in this episode.
[04:56:44] YO, HOLY [ __ ] NO WAY. No way.
[04:56:48] IT'S JACK SOUTHWOOD. DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO
[04:56:50] HE IS? Who the hell Jack was?
[04:56:52] Oh my god. Okay, so the file says he's
[04:56:54] driving a shitty gray Kiaforte. I'm
[04:56:57] surprised it hasn't blown up yet.
[04:56:58] Yeah, you're right.
[04:57:00] Wait, I don't understand. Who are we?
[04:57:02] Who is
[04:57:04] Who is Jack Southwood?
[04:57:06] Oh, let me get you started, buddy.
[04:57:08] The Jack the Southwood show, dude. Okay,
[04:57:11] that's insane. Him and his three buddies
[04:57:12] go break into abandoned places and, you
[04:57:15] know, uncover stories no one else wants
[04:57:16] to put their hands on.
[04:57:18] It's insane.
[04:57:19] No offense, Butch. You're geeking way
[04:57:22] too much over a random guy. I'm starting
[04:57:24] to think you're a bit of a candy ass.
[04:57:26] Okay. You know the God, you probably
[04:57:29] don't. Do you know the chicks at X7X?
[04:57:32] Who the hell is X7X?
[04:57:34] No, I can't believe it, man.
[04:57:35] Hey. Hey, you don't touch a white man's
[04:57:37] radio.
[04:57:38] Joining me tonight.
[04:57:38] I do what I want. All right. Listen,
[04:57:41] Jean Oswald.
[04:57:42] Oh, never mind. Don't listen. General,
[04:57:43] some say is nothing more than a way to
[04:57:46] strip from their families.
[04:57:48] What do you say to that?
[04:57:49] I mean, shut up. See, Kylo and Jean in
[04:57:54] the same political interview? Are you
[04:57:55] kidding? What a pile of horseshit. See,
[04:57:57] this is why Jax is better.
[04:57:59] Yeah. You're the one that talked Jean
[04:58:00] up, man.
[04:58:02] There he is. There he is. There he is.
[04:58:04] You sure that's him?
[04:58:05] Yeah. I'm positive. I'm positive. Turn
[04:58:06] your lights on. Let's go. Let's go.
[04:58:08] Oh, he's turning. He's turning.
[04:58:10] Suspect found.
[04:58:10] That was a quick turn.
[04:58:13] No, it's time. He's booking it. Let's
[04:58:15] go. Go, go, go, go, go.
[04:58:18] Hey, Rick, you uh from Jackson.
[04:58:28] Okay, so they're on the chase now.
[04:58:34] I haven't heard from him yet
[04:58:35] again. How did he How did he turn into a
[04:58:37] freaking homicide killer all of a sudden
[04:58:39] after that last moment we saw with him?
[04:58:42] But how fast are we going?
[04:58:44] 80 80 MILES AN HOUR.
[04:58:48] NAH, not at all.
[04:58:51] Honestly, he's probably still pissed,
[04:58:53] too. He's just trying to pretend like
[04:58:54] he's not.
[04:58:56] You getting that? You getting
[04:58:57] Oh, they don't know. His friends don't
[04:59:00] know.
[04:59:02] Oh, he's turning. He's turning. He's
[04:59:04] turning.
[04:59:04] He's not.
[04:59:06] for the camera has been damaged.
[04:59:09] Please see technician for camera damage.
[04:59:12] Hey, Rick.
[04:59:13] Wait, what?
[04:59:14] Why uh is there a camera set up in here?
[04:59:18] Uh I mean there's not
[04:59:22] you uh you give this to Jax earlier
[04:59:25] today.
[04:59:26] What? I mean, yeah, I did.
[04:59:28] Listen, emission has been detected.
[04:59:30] Please stay clear. Clear of nearby
[04:59:33] emissions.
[04:59:35] What
[04:59:38] could
[04:59:40] this neighborhood giant circle?
[04:59:41] Wait,
[04:59:45] he was right there, guys. He was behind
[04:59:46] him.
[04:59:47] Well, we're going to
[04:59:50] Wait, did he kill them?
[04:59:52] Is that his car?
[04:59:55] And now he's on the run.
[04:59:57] That went into the woods.
[04:59:59] What? Ready to get a little dirt on your
[05:00:01] boots, Butch?
[05:00:02] It's not out. Look at that drop off
[05:00:03] point. We don't know where that goes,
[05:00:04] dude.
[05:00:06] Damn.
[05:00:09] Well, look at here. Looks like he left
[05:00:11] in a rush.
[05:00:11] Yeah, he did. He's cocky enough to keep
[05:00:13] his door open.
[05:00:16] Yeah, we are. We're cops.
[05:00:18] All right. What we got?
[05:00:20] Got a couple drawings there. Hand me one
[05:00:22] of those
[05:00:23] drawings. I don't know.
[05:00:25] Hand me one of those.
[05:00:26] Well, I want to see the drawings,
[05:00:28] dude. I obviously failed art school.
[05:00:31] Like what are we doing here?
[05:00:32] Wait, that one has words back there,
[05:00:33] doesn't it?
[05:00:36] Lazarus, come forth.
[05:00:38] Lazarus.
[05:00:38] Lazarus, come forth.
[05:00:40] Wilhelm, does Lazarus come forth mean
[05:00:42] anything to you?
[05:00:43] I don't even know what a Lazarus is.
[05:00:46] All right, whatever. Buffalo, how about
[05:00:49] this? I'm going to stick here with the
[05:00:51] car. Make sure he doesn't try to pull a
[05:00:52] fast one on us. You head out into the
[05:00:54] woods with camera boy. See if you can
[05:00:56] find anything. All right. Aren't you the
[05:00:58] one that wanted to get your boots dirty?
[05:01:00] Well, go on, bud.
[05:01:02] You with me? Come on.
[05:01:05] I don't want to go into
[05:01:07] Oh my god, he's so innocent. Please,
[05:01:10] cameraman.
[05:01:12] Bad handwriting. Someone please survive
[05:01:13] again. It looks like
[05:01:15] the th Oh, the thr. The thr. That's
[05:01:20] We've heard of that phrase, the thr.
[05:01:23] That does have significance.
[05:01:25] Animal bones. Oh, also animal bones.
[05:01:28] Honestly, I'm not surprised.
[05:01:29] All the time in the north.
[05:01:32] Got me on edge.
[05:01:33] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[05:01:34] What? What now?

[05:01:37] something up to the
[05:01:39] subject puff detected. Oh, [ __ ]

[05:01:55] any idea? I don't know where I see an
[05:01:57] old school.
[05:02:00] Oh [ __ ]

[05:02:04] You don't hear that?
[05:02:10] Is that Daniel?
[05:02:11] Yeah, I do hear that. What is it?
[05:02:12] It's complex. Madam complex.
[05:02:16] Old transmission recording is from a
[05:02:18] long time ago.
[05:02:20] It means we're getting somewhere we
[05:02:21] shouldn't be.
[05:02:24] I just don't personally think this is a
[05:02:25] good idea.
[05:02:27] Last school.
[05:02:29] Come on. You got to have some fun with
[05:02:31] it. Come on. You'll miss class.
[05:02:36] Hello.

[05:02:44] dude. Come on. Come on out. We mean you
[05:02:48] no harm. I promise.
[05:02:52] Sounds like our boy is making a mess.
[05:02:53] I'll flush him out.
[05:02:55] Don't get nervous. Keep rolling, camera
[05:02:56] boy.
[05:02:59] Oh my god. Don't leave the cameraman
[05:03:00] behind.
[05:03:01] Stupid freaking
[05:03:04] this camera.
[05:03:04] Please say by Andrew
[05:03:06] the area.
[05:03:07] Maybe they were right cuz
[05:03:14] Why is it Butch Butch? Where'd you go?
[05:03:17] My my scanner's going off and for some
[05:03:19] reason it's going to the right
[05:03:27] no camera.
[05:03:32] Oh, okay. It's fine. Okay.
[05:03:36] That
[05:03:38] that right there that's what I don't
[05:03:41] understand.
[05:03:42] What the talk show? I mean, yeah. I
[05:03:47] think we all collectively don't
[05:03:50] understand that.
[05:03:51] What am I not seeing here, Butch?
[05:03:54] Zoom.
[05:03:57] Good to see you.
[05:03:59] Oh, I am so sorry. Uh,
[05:04:02] yep. The prop.
[05:04:04] I called it first.
[05:04:06] That's That's Jack Southwood sign.
[05:04:09] Mhm. Now you tell me, how the hell did
[05:04:14] some stupid web show and a very familiar
[05:04:18] sign from a very specific show
[05:04:22] end up in
[05:04:25] the containment chamber?
[05:04:31] Hey,elcome
[05:04:34] welcome to the show.
[05:04:36] That is a good question.
[05:04:38] Again,
[05:04:46] shout out to everyone in this. Everyone
[05:04:48] is so talented in this. I love it. I
[05:04:52] feel honored to be among these people,
[05:04:54] you know,
[05:05:04] the ovarian show.
[05:05:07] Oh, I like that episode a lot. Okay, we
[05:05:10] need to go back. We need to go back. We
[05:05:11] need to go back. We need to go back.
[05:05:12] Okay, that was the longest video
[05:05:16] in the series. So,
[05:05:20] okay. So, we start off with this show
[05:05:23] and I I love how I immediately called it
[05:05:26] and then I was the first one. Okay. And
[05:05:30] then they mentioned it here too. But
[05:05:31] yeah, that is the same sign
[05:05:35] on the show. That is the same sign. That
[05:05:39] is very confusing and weird how the that
[05:05:42] links. So now does this have this this
[05:05:46] show have some significance? Do these
[05:05:48] people have some significance to this?
[05:05:50] It starts off with them, you know, what
[05:05:53] seemingly sounds like they're planning
[05:05:55] to go and explore somewhere in North
[05:05:58] Zion, which is supposedly not somewhere
[05:06:02] you should be. It should be kept out
[05:06:03] because of something that happened some
[05:06:05] time ago with like quarantining and
[05:06:07] whatnot. And
[05:06:10] it's highly dangerous.
[05:06:13] And it was Kylo Cooper who suggested to
[05:06:16] this guy to go here. Let me go back to
[05:06:18] that convo. Lucas says, "Man, it seems
[05:06:20] like there might be a pretty decent
[05:06:22] reason for that."
[05:06:22] You know, where'd you even get the info
[05:06:24] on the patrols, guy?
[05:06:27] Yeah, I uh I wanted to actually talk to
[05:06:31] you guys about the information from Kylo
[05:06:33] and they get the information from Kylo.
[05:06:35] So, that again, Kylo Cooper chat is we
[05:06:39] first saw them in the whistleblower
[05:06:40] episode. She runs a radio show where
[05:06:46] it's that gossip. It's sort of it's the
[05:06:48] freaking gossip tea radio show in Zion.
[05:06:52] She told him about this place and then
[05:06:56] that's why they're here. Now, I don't
[05:06:58] know if that means that Kylo is also now
[05:07:01] sus in this. Like, did she deliberately
[05:07:04] tell him to go here? Because obviously
[05:07:05] what happens next, these guys leave, his
[05:07:07] friends leave, he decides to go onwards,
[05:07:11] and then we have this sort of base here.
[05:07:14] And now entering North Zion, we enter
[05:07:16] the base and we see this massive room,
[05:07:21] this massive warehouse, right? I think
[05:07:24] there's like chairs around here. I
[05:07:26] again, I don't know what the purpose of
[05:07:28] this place was.
[05:07:31] We have screens on the side. We have
[05:07:34] someone called Madame Complex speaking.
[05:07:37] We've heard Madame Complex a lot as
[05:07:39] well. still don't know what truly their
[05:07:41] role in all of this is, but she's
[05:07:44] present.
[05:07:45] And again, when we go through here,
[05:07:47] she's talking about things about, oh,
[05:07:50] worth the risk. You could have saved
[05:07:51] lives or blah blah blah blah blah blah.
[05:07:53] Again, I have that underlying idea that
[05:07:55] like some of the stuff that Zion does
[05:07:57] when it broadcasts things or talks about
[05:08:00] things is is done in a way to sort of as
[05:08:04] a way of propaganda, too. Um, I don't
[05:08:06] know if that's the intention, but I'm
[05:08:09] also getting that feeling, too. I want
[05:08:11] to quickly input here because I think
[05:08:13] this is sort of another important thing
[05:08:15] that's been kind of overshadowed and I
[05:08:18] wouldn't have talked about it a lot in
[05:08:20] the stream, but Madame Complex. This is
[05:08:24] a name that we've now heard a lot about,
[05:08:26] and obviously this is related to
[05:08:27] possibly how the system of Zion runs.
[05:08:32] Madame Complex's logo is also like this
[05:08:35] sort of like brain with like wiring
[05:08:37] connections inside. So I wonder if
[05:08:40] because my immediate thought was like
[05:08:42] okay what if Madame Complex is sort of
[05:08:45] like a sort of superco computer which
[05:08:49] runs the city or is involved in a lot of
[05:08:52] the city's processes which adds I guess
[05:08:55] another layer of interesting characters
[05:08:57] into the mix. But another thing as well
[05:09:00] is a name that has only been mentioned I
[05:09:03] think one other time in the series and
[05:09:06] that is Phoebe Knox.
[05:09:10] If you remember way back in the channel
[05:09:12] trailer, Patrick Adams said that Phoebe
[05:09:16] Knox appointed him to lead Variation
[05:09:20] Tech or like handed him the keys to this
[05:09:24] old rusty machine and that's the machine
[05:09:26] that ultimately led to Patrick Adams
[05:09:29] dying if you remember. Then we have this
[05:09:31] mention of Phoebe Noox again in this
[05:09:34] episode with Mad Complex saying those
[05:09:37] who sort of you know trusted the path of
[05:09:40] Phoebe and Adrien Noox were misguided. I
[05:09:44] wonder if Phoebe Knox and Adrien Noox
[05:09:47] that's also mentioned here. I wonder if
[05:09:49] they were like president of Zion at some
[05:09:53] point in Zion's history before Faze Zion
[05:09:56] took control. And if so, it looks like
[05:09:59] they may have done something which led
[05:10:02] to possibly catastrophic events. I'm
[05:10:05] very leaning towards the idea that they
[05:10:07] were possibly the head of Zion before
[05:10:09] FaZe, but also since it's mentioned here
[05:10:13] in North Zion, I wonder if Fibonox was
[05:10:15] involved in some sort of experiment
[05:10:18] which led to a catastrophic event in
[05:10:20] North Zion, which is why, you know, we
[05:10:23] see all of this contamination area and
[05:10:26] why people don't or shouldn't be going
[05:10:29] to the northern side of Zion. We also
[05:10:32] see this banner when we enter which says
[05:10:35] something about a residential complex in
[05:10:38] this area made through project tempest.
[05:10:42] So again, and it makes sense cuz when we
[05:10:45] go through this facility and into the
[05:10:47] tube before Jax gets taken, it's sort of
[05:10:50] like you're entering a new area or like
[05:10:53] a new sort of place to reside in. So
[05:10:57] again, a lot of lore when it comes to
[05:11:01] Zion's history you could infer from this
[05:11:03] section of the episode. What are these
[05:11:07] signs? You're with us or against us. The
[05:11:10] date you chose to betray us. MDX.
[05:11:15] And then there's like this tunnel
[05:11:19] which like I don't know is like it's
[05:11:20] like it's like a facility. This is set
[05:11:23] up as if it's like a facility
[05:11:26] for like screening and then you'd like
[05:11:27] go through this tunnel and it would take
[05:11:29] you somewhere.
[05:11:35] And what's with the power still being
[05:11:37] on?
[05:11:38] Is this like Yeah, cuz they did say I
[05:11:40] think at the start that North Zion is
[05:11:42] like its own district in Zion. So, I'm
[05:11:46] guessing this is like your way to get
[05:11:49] into that place. But if that's that's
[05:11:52] the case and now this place is all like
[05:11:55] quarantined and kept off of grounds,
[05:11:57] that means the whole of North Zion,
[05:12:00] something happened here and now they
[05:12:02] don't want people going here. A whole
[05:12:05] district.
[05:12:07] And again, the sound. Listen to the
[05:12:10] sound. I don't you would think this
[05:12:13] place would be
[05:12:18] Whoa. Whoa. That That is the same sound
[05:12:23] from the um the hatchlings episode.
[05:12:28] Listen.
[05:12:35] What is What is that thing?
[05:12:39] It's the same sound. It's the same
[05:12:42] creature. And you know what? You know
[05:12:45] what else? I wonder that creature
[05:12:51] is
[05:12:56] I wonder if that creature is this.
[05:12:59] I wonder.
[05:13:02] Again, I don't know what this is, but
[05:13:05] it's something.
[05:13:08] And it's big. So something happened to
[05:13:11] Jax. He didn't die because clearly he
[05:13:15] then turns into a homicide killer or
[05:13:18] suspected homicide killer. And these two
[05:13:20] their internal affairs, you know,
[05:13:22] have to have to go and investigate and
[05:13:24] and get him um with a with a with a
[05:13:26] reporter um an intern agent
[05:13:30] um who luckily didn't die there at the
[05:13:32] end. And then if we go here.
[05:13:37] Why uh
[05:13:40] camera set up in here?
[05:13:41] Why is that camera set up there?
[05:13:42] It's not.
[05:13:45] Didn't you uh you give this to Jax
[05:13:48] earlier today?
[05:13:49] This was Jax's camera when he went
[05:13:52] alone. So the fact that it's back
[05:13:55] again means that he didn't actually die
[05:13:57] there. Something happened to him, right?
[05:14:01] And then bro is right there.
[05:14:07] Oh, do you see that? It's It's obviously
[05:14:09] blurred, but like he is smiling. Okay, I
[05:14:13] can see it through the blur. He is
[05:14:16] smiling. This relates to that idea that
[05:14:18] people go missing. And they mentioned
[05:14:19] this in the channel trailer. People
[05:14:21] would go missing and then they would
[05:14:23] come back changed. I wonder if this is
[05:14:25] now an example of that instance.
[05:14:28] And now I'm guessing that homicide that
[05:14:32] happened, Jack's killed this guy and the
[05:14:34] other person in the room here. And then
[05:14:37] he goes on the run,
[05:14:39] that's who they killed.
[05:14:42] Well, that's who he killed. And then we
[05:14:44] have these drawings. I want to see if I
[05:14:45] can like examine these drawings a little
[05:14:47] bit better.
[05:14:48] What is that first one?
[05:14:52] No idea what that is. I'm sorry, but can
[05:14:54] I just say, I don't know why these like
[05:14:58] this looks like steam or like you know
[05:15:00] how you would represent like the top of
[05:15:02] flames coming out to represent something
[05:15:05] burning? That's what this looks like.
[05:15:07] I'm sorry. I don't know why, but I've
[05:15:08] immediately thought that this looked
[05:15:10] like a fireball.
[05:15:13] It's something.
[05:15:15] I don't know if that's supposed to be
[05:15:17] what I meant it what I thought it would
[05:15:19] be or if that's just like S's like an S
[05:15:23] written weirdly. Um, and then the uh the
[05:15:27] thing with Lazarus written on it.
[05:15:30] Lazarus come forth.
[05:15:32] Come.
[05:15:33] Yeah, that's the first time I've heard
[05:15:35] of a Lazarus.
[05:15:37] Lazarus come forth. That piece of paper
[05:15:40] is important, Chad, because again, we've
[05:15:44] already mentioned the name Lazarus. It's
[05:15:47] associated with the John Bible quote
[05:15:50] that we have seen hinted in this series.
[05:15:55] Again, the original quote from the Bible
[05:15:58] mentions Lazarus being resurrected. And
[05:16:03] now we have a name confirmation on this
[05:16:06] piece of paper. So again, is this
[05:16:09] creature that has been resurrected
[05:16:12] called Zion? And another thing is since
[05:16:15] we see it in Northern Zion, is this
[05:16:18] thing part of Zion's history as well?
[05:16:22] And is it possibly responsible for
[05:16:25] whatever catastrophe happened in this
[05:16:28] region of Zion? Originally, I thought
[05:16:32] that when we heard this creature, it may
[05:16:35] have been responsible or involved in
[05:16:38] experiments that Variant Labs was doing.
[05:16:41] But now, I think that theory may be a
[05:16:44] little bit contradictory because
[05:16:46] remember, Variant Labs is outside the
[05:16:49] borders of Zion, but it is also sort of
[05:16:52] associated with South Zion. So, it would
[05:16:55] be found outside of South Zion, but
[05:16:58] we're on the completely opposite side,
[05:17:01] which means something else is happening
[05:17:05] with this creature. It also would mean
[05:17:08] that Aurelia and Ethel Mole were not
[05:17:11] abducted by Variant. Possibly same thing
[05:17:16] with Brandon. Could there be a third
[05:17:19] party involved? Or could some part of
[05:17:23] Zion be involved in whatever happenings
[05:17:27] are going on with this creature that we
[05:17:29] find? And is the name of this creature
[05:17:33] Lazarus?
[05:17:35] And then this one, the thr. This is its
[05:17:38] piece of like phrase and text that we
[05:17:40] saw in um in the uh Aurelia Moore
[05:17:44] episode with the with the girls in that
[05:17:46] chamber. It was like a glitchy scene and
[05:17:49] it showed the thr. So we now see this
[05:17:52] mention again. What does it mean by the
[05:17:55] thr? I don't know what even is a thrral.
[05:17:57] An enslaved person who performs the
[05:18:00] duties of a certain of a servant. Sorry.
[05:18:04] Is does that mean Jax is a servant for
[05:18:07] someone now? Oo
[05:18:12] interesting.
[05:18:13] And then the the agent sees something.
[05:18:16] They go to this abandoned
[05:18:18] school, which I'm not gonna lie, this
[05:18:22] kind of gave me this kind of gave me
[05:18:24] Marble Hornets vibes because it's an
[05:18:26] abandoned school in the woods. Just
[05:18:28] saying it. I really wanted to say that,
[05:18:31] but yeah, we need to pause at that
[05:18:33] thing.
[05:18:35] Good thing the agent didn't die. Hold
[05:18:37] on. What the flip does that say? Yeah,
[05:18:40] like
[05:18:44] that's J. Yeah. Um, that's not normal.
[05:18:50] Also, if you look very closely at like
[05:18:52] its skin if you look really closely, I
[05:18:56] feel like that's sort of how when we saw
[05:18:58] Ethel Moore transform a little bit, that
[05:19:01] was the like texture of their skin as
[05:19:04] well. It's It's the same thing. So,
[05:19:07] whatever happened to Ethel and Aurelia
[05:19:10] is what happened to Jax. And it kind of
[05:19:13] makes sense too because we also heard
[05:19:15] that same creature come by for Jax as
[05:19:17] well that was present when Ethel and
[05:19:21] Aurelia were there in the in some sort
[05:19:24] of place in Variant Labs I'm guessing or
[05:19:27] somewhere now actually now I don't even
[05:19:29] know if it's Variant Labs if that's what
[05:19:31] happened in Variant Labs because we see
[05:19:33] that creature in North Zion again so
[05:19:36] much more to think about now
[05:19:39] that does look terrifying I don't like
[05:19:41] that skin That crusty ass skin. What the
[05:19:44] hell? Attention. Please stay clear of
[05:19:46] nearby emission source. Danger. Danger.
[05:19:47] Danger. Emission source. Hold on.
[05:19:51] There's some text here. Shroud one.
[05:19:53] Shroud two. Something tap feet in dusty
[05:19:57] shoes.
[05:19:59] Scarf one sings. Laaloo.
[05:20:02] Shroud two
[05:20:04] grins. Give me you. Hold my hand. Don't
[05:20:08] run away. Greeney Shroud likes trade
[05:20:12] play.
[05:20:14] I think that says trade play.
[05:20:18] Scarf one goes poof out of sight.
[05:20:23] Shroud two stays all through the night.
[05:20:27] If I just move myself up here. Yeah.
[05:20:32] Okay. We got a poem. I have no idea what
[05:20:36] the poem means, but that's the first
[05:20:38] time I've heard of something like this.
[05:20:44] And they see the guy, then he actually
[05:20:47] picks up the cam. So, Jax picks up the
[05:20:51] cam. So, it seems like he still has his
[05:20:54] human senses, but he's also this weird
[05:20:56] thing that looks
[05:21:00] like he has crusty skin. Um,
[05:21:02] and then that's that. That's what I
[05:21:04] don't.
[05:21:05] Yeah, I think we all collectively
[05:21:08] And then we're back in the Discord call.
[05:21:10] We're back in the Discord call.
[05:21:12] And yeah, and then they spot it that
[05:21:14] this is the same thing.
[05:21:17] This may chat, this may have some
[05:21:18] important revelence now relevance.
[05:21:21] Sorry. I thought this would be I thought
[05:21:22] this would be like a sort of own case
[05:21:24] study and a one-off thing too, but no.
[05:21:29] This is
[05:21:31] This is significant now just because of
[05:21:34] the prop connection. I'm loving this. I
[05:21:38] love I'm I'm really enjoying
[05:21:41] going through this. Also, we have like
[05:21:43] two episodes left, guys. We're nearly
[05:21:46] done. We're nearly done. Wait, no, not
[05:21:49] two. Sorry. We have three more episodes
[05:21:50] to go. This is so good. I I'm so
[05:21:54] enjoying this series. I love the
[05:21:56] uniqueness of it. It's not the same
[05:21:59] thing all the time. It's it's bringing
[05:22:02] in so much information. It's really
[05:22:05] allowing me as the viewer to sort of
[05:22:07] theorize a lot of things, change ideas,
[05:22:10] change theories. I'm loving this. Again,
[05:22:13] I hope you guys are enjoying it too and
[05:22:15] are, you know, following on along with
[05:22:17] it as well. Right, the next episode is
[05:22:20] called The Pod. Isabelle Avarian.
[05:22:25] Wait, no. The Earian Show presents
[05:22:27] Isabelle Avarion. In this episode, we
[05:22:31] follow Isabel Avarian. Wait a minute.
[05:22:34] That's actually kind of weird. There
[05:22:37] their surnames are Avarion. You know, we
[05:22:40] also had Vinka Avarion, but I don't
[05:22:43] think that's her proper full surname.
[05:22:45] They just added the Avarion. Adding the
[05:22:48] name Avarion at the end. That's kind of
[05:22:50] interesting. Chad, do you think Mason's
[05:22:52] last name is Avarion?
[05:22:55] Is the family tree growing? Is everyone
[05:22:58] that comes to the show become his family
[05:23:00] member? I don't know. That's just a
[05:23:01] silly theory. It's amazing. It is. And
[05:23:03] again, it's such a breath of fresh air.
[05:23:07] It's again, it's just I love the
[05:23:08] uniqueness of it. The idea that a
[05:23:12] freaking talk show has replaced your
[05:23:14] most dangerous hazardous room, a
[05:23:18] dangerous location on a laboratory is an
[05:23:22] interesting concept. and raises a lot of
[05:23:25] eyebrows and questions. We're nearly
[05:23:27] there though, guys. We have to pull
[05:23:29] through. We can do this. We can finish
[05:23:30] this today.
[05:23:33] Right. This one's called the pod
[05:23:37] variant communications. Z43
[05:23:41] variant labs training module 1.0.
[05:23:44] Welcome new hires.
[05:23:46] Bugger. Give me a minute. There we are.
[05:23:49] Pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[05:23:50] Oh, this is Matthew.
[05:23:52] The name's Matthew Henderson. HR
[05:23:54] support, compliance liaison, and soon to
[05:23:57] be your new favorite voice in mandatory
[05:23:59] training. I'm speaking on behalf of your
[05:24:01] soon-to-be employer, Adrien James Carter
[05:24:04] II.
[05:24:06] For the record, this module recorded and
[05:24:09] filed under Z.Y.43.
[05:24:12] If you're hearing this seven or eight
[05:24:14] plus years down the line, then yes,
[05:24:15] these tapes will need updating. The
[05:24:17] capture system we're using isn't exactly
[05:24:19] designed for long-term archival. the
[05:24:21] signal degrades, the storage medium
[05:24:23] breaks down, and you may notice
[05:24:25] intermittent glitches and visual
[05:24:26] corruption as the years stack up.
[05:24:29] If that occurs, please notify Adrien or
[05:24:32] someone else to redo the modules.
[05:24:34] Why did Hrien hire me for this?
[05:24:36] As of today, yours truly has been
[05:24:38] appointed lead training officer.
[05:24:40] Congratulations. Looks like you'll be
[05:24:42] stuck with me for the foreseeable
[05:24:43] future. In today's course, we'll be
[05:24:46] introducing and learning how to safely
[05:24:48] enter and exit Variant Lab's most
[05:24:50] notable infrastructure components, known
[05:24:52] simply as chambers.
[05:24:56] We'll begin with the one you'll be using
[05:24:57] regardless of where you're stationed in
[05:24:59] the building.
[05:24:59] All in place must be aware of this.
[05:25:01] Decontamination chamber.
[05:25:03] Decontamination.
[05:25:07] Cammy, wake up. I interrupted the
[05:25:09] process.
[05:25:12] Going to have to go back. What is this?
[05:25:14] Cammy, you need to find an exit. Where
[05:25:16] is this? Who is Cammy? He doesn't know
[05:25:19] you're awake yet.
[05:25:22] What is this?
[05:25:28] The decontamination chamber operates in
[05:25:30] four initial phases.
[05:25:32] Each phase is linked to a single alarm
[05:25:35] used exclusively to queue on-site medics
[05:25:37] to the exact stage it's currently
[05:25:39] initiating. Please stand by for an audio
[05:25:41] cue test of that alarm.
[05:25:52] ZY 51
[05:25:56] process interrupted. Car, you need to
[05:25:58] wake up.
[05:26:02] You need to wake up.
[05:26:07] What the [ __ ]
[05:26:19] Oh god, I'm so scared. I feel like it
[05:26:21] was going to pop up from the back.
[05:26:25] Unit
[05:26:26] 18.
[05:26:28] What? What?
[05:26:33] Where am I?
[05:26:42] Calm down. Calm down. Calm down.
[05:26:50] Where the [ __ ] Where am I?
[05:26:57] Mason. Was that you that just said that?
[05:27:00] I think that was Mason. Where did she
[05:27:02] go?
[05:27:04] Hello.
[05:27:12] What? Where is everyone?
[05:27:26] Oh,
[05:27:27] I know you people.
[05:27:30] These are from the previous episodes.
[05:27:32] On the channel, we introduce our 17th,
[05:27:36] yes, you heard me, 17th guest we're
[05:27:38] having on the Avaron show featuring your
[05:27:41] wonderful and talented host,
[05:27:43] Mason Aaron.
[05:27:47] Oh, it is his surname. I said that
[05:27:50] question as a joke earlier.
[05:27:51] What the [ __ ]
[05:27:57] Oh, sunny day. Mhm. Um, where's the
[05:27:59] ground?
[05:28:03] She's next. This person is next.
[05:28:09] The Avarian show lobby.
[05:28:15] Oh, God.
[05:28:23] I thought her name was Cammy.
[05:28:26] I can hear you. Do not trust him.
[05:28:31] Who are you?
[05:28:52] Cammy, you're not
[05:28:56] wait.
[05:29:05] Now, if by any means
[05:29:09] who who was that? Was that Isabelle? Was
[05:29:11] that Cammy? Or are they both the same
[05:29:13] people? Okay, continue.
[05:29:20] This alarm corresponds to a restricted
[05:29:22] chamber designated for directors and
[05:29:24] department overseers only.
[05:29:26] It is not intended for general staff
[05:29:28] use.
[05:29:30] This alarm corresponds to a restricted
[05:29:32] chamber.
[05:29:34] Confirmation of the alarm now.
[05:29:35] Directors and department overseers only.
[05:29:37] the restricted chamber which is where
[05:29:39] the show has now taken place in
[05:29:40] trainee end.
[05:29:42] Please do not ask questions or try to
[05:29:44] access entryways to this chamber.
[05:29:47] Do not worry. Remain calm and proceed
[05:29:49] with caution to the nearest emergency
[05:29:51] exit in your area.
[05:29:54] Live from Avarion Studios, it's the
[05:29:57] moment you've all been waiting for. It's
[05:30:01] the Aaron Show
[05:30:04] starring our ever brilliant co-host
[05:30:06] Janine Caldwell. Our beloved sound booth
[05:30:09] director making sure things don't get
[05:30:11] too out of hand, David the Crow.
[05:30:14] And of course, our production assistant
[05:30:17] here to keep the kids laughing and not
[05:30:19] annoying the audience, Frankie the
[05:30:21] Eight.
[05:30:23] Now, we've had the
[05:30:24] Wait, what? I don't remember that guy
[05:30:26] called Frank being on the That's a
[05:30:31] Did you get a new Did you hire someone
[05:30:33] else?
[05:30:33] All sorts of guests these previous
[05:30:35] mentioned a Frank audiences will agree
[05:30:37] that their favorites so far have been
[05:30:39] Vena the fifth guest, Michael the 12th
[05:30:42] guest, Abby the 16th guest, and of
[05:30:46] course all Arthur the 13th guest.
[05:30:53] But on tonight's episode, our
[05:30:55] perspective for the oldest comes all the
[05:30:57] way.
[05:31:00] Noville with our host and a very sharp
[05:31:03] opinion on what friendship is really
[05:31:06] about.
[05:31:07] In fact, she's Mason's ex best friend,
[05:31:10] which means tonight's off to a healthy
[05:31:12] start. She's short in stature and even
[05:31:15] shorter on patience. So, give it up for
[05:31:19] Isabelle.
[05:31:21] Why would you break some of
[05:31:23] this production all together? Put your
[05:31:25] hands together for your host, the one,
[05:31:28] the only Mason
[05:31:33] Var.
[05:31:36] Schedule has been tampered with.
[05:31:40] L scheduling.
[05:31:45] Can you guys see me?
[05:31:47] What is he doing? Can
[05:31:48] you guys hear me at least?
[05:31:51] Janine,
[05:31:55] could you just please please work with
[05:31:57] me here? Could you
[05:31:58] Why Why would you call an ex- best
[05:32:01] friend to the show?
[05:32:02] I don't know.
[05:32:04] I think I've stabilized it. I don't
[05:32:06] know. I'm no technician, just a host.
[05:32:14] That's enough technical work for one
[05:32:15] day.
[05:32:17] Sorry about the interference, guys. I I
[05:32:20] can't exactly explain it, but we've been
[05:32:22] getting weird glitches here and there.
[05:32:25] I've been trying to control everything,
[05:32:26] but believe me, believe me, I just uh
[05:32:30] things have been getting a little
[05:32:32] sketchy in the uh technical part of the
[05:32:35] show.
[05:32:36] You don't say.
[05:32:39] Welcome back everyone to the Aaron Show.
[05:32:43] Now, be honest, guys. Do you like my
[05:32:46] outfit? Do I have swag? Personally, I
[05:32:50] think my outfit is awesome and I don't
[05:32:52] think anyone could make me feel bad
[05:32:54] about it. You know, I'm always excited
[05:32:56] for all of you to meet tonight's guest,
[05:32:58] but I'm especially excited for you guys
[05:33:01] to meet tonight's guest.
[05:33:05] Tonight's guest is a bad
[05:33:07] What? Can you survive eating a crown?
[05:33:10] Of all trades. She's been playing piano
[05:33:12] since she was, and I quote, knee high to
[05:33:15] a grasshopper. She's about
[05:33:19] yay big, but she could probably kick
[05:33:21] your ass. She's a Third Dawn black belt.
[05:33:26] Ladies and gentlemen,
[05:33:29] allow me to introduce you to
[05:33:39] uh Woo.
[05:33:40] Woohoo!
[05:33:43] Hey, Isabelle. Good to see you.
[05:33:45] It's good to see me.
[05:33:46] Welcome. Welcome
[05:33:47] again. Why would you call your ex- best
[05:33:48] friend here? I I don't know. But
[05:33:50] great. I love the attention.
[05:33:51] Oh, this is Oh, okay. She's that type of
[05:33:54] person. Okay.
[05:33:56] Yeah, we Yeah, we are.
[05:33:57] Yes,
[05:33:58] we certainly are.
[05:34:02] Don't ask.
[05:34:03] They're not even the same type of [ __ ]
[05:34:05] crayons. What is wrong with you?
[05:34:07] Someone got on my [ __ ] last night.
[05:34:09] Imagine Not even Crayola.
[05:34:11] Someone got on my [ __ ] last podcast cuz
[05:34:13] I ate one.
[05:34:15] Yeah.
[05:34:16] What do you mean? Yeah.
[05:34:18] Yeah.
[05:34:19] Crayons. You haven't. Have you had a
[05:34:20] crayon?
[05:34:21] No.
[05:34:22] Why not?
[05:34:22] I'M NOT A [ __ ] IDIOT.
[05:34:26] OKAY.
[05:34:27] And I just I really want to emphasize
[05:34:29] how tacky these clothes were. I mean,
[05:34:31] they were awful.
[05:34:33] Huh. Tacky clothes, huh?
[05:34:35] Yeah. Um almost as bad as yours. Those
[05:34:38] three different shades of yellow and the
[05:34:40] tennis shoes with the blazer and the
[05:34:42] long sleeves past the blazer. Is that a
[05:34:44] women's blazer?
[05:34:46] No.
[05:34:48] Are you now focusing your attention on
[05:34:50] my outfit choice?
[05:34:52] Well, yeah. You're built like a
[05:34:53] highlighter right now. I kind of have
[05:34:54] to.
[05:35:00] Guys, I'm not going to lie. I think his
[05:35:01] fit is vibrant and colorful and fits him
[05:35:04] perfectly. So, Mason, just let it be
[05:35:07] known I appreciate
[05:35:10] your drip. Okay. If no one else, then at
[05:35:13] least I do.
[05:35:15] Okay. Well, first of all, I didn't put
[05:35:17] together this.
[05:35:18] Yeah, we saw this in other episodes,
[05:35:19] too.
[05:35:20] Back to
[05:35:21] foreshadowing.
[05:35:22] It's not that I don't
[05:35:23] You can't pick out your own clothes.
[05:35:24] It's not that I don't know how to dress.
[05:35:26] I was doing that at like two.
[05:35:27] Okay. Isabella is pissing me off. She's
[05:35:29] that type of person. Mhm. Not only is he
[05:35:31] built like a highlighter, he li
[05:35:32] highlights all the dumbest things that
[05:35:34] pop into his brain.
[05:35:38] What?
[05:35:39] This is the best episode.
[05:35:40] Introduce to the audience.
[05:35:42] Hi, I'm Izzy and the interesting things
[05:35:45] about me is that I'm hot and I play
[05:35:48] instruments and I can referee in
[05:35:51] multiple countries.
[05:35:54] Huh.
[05:35:54] That's really cool.
[05:35:55] It is.
[05:35:55] In what sport?
[05:35:56] You referee for?
[05:35:57] I do taekwondo.
[05:35:58] Taekwondo. Yes. You've been doing you've
[05:36:00] been doing specifically you specifically
[05:36:03] you've been refereeing Taekwond do for
[05:36:04] what like as long
[05:36:07] just over two years.
[05:36:07] Just over two years. Wow. Wow. Has
[05:36:10] taekwondo always been an interest to
[05:36:11] you?
[05:36:12] I didn't have much of a choice.
[05:36:14] You didn't have much of a choice?
[05:36:15] No, not when like you grow up with your
[05:36:17] whole family doing it.
[05:36:19] That makes sense.
[05:36:20] Oh, fun in the family.
[05:36:23] Very much so. And since you grew up in
[05:36:25] Taekwondo, does that mean you have like,
[05:36:28] you know, a certain belt color or
[05:36:30] something?
[05:36:31] I do. So I have a third degree or third
[05:36:34] dawn black belt and I test for my fourth
[05:36:36] later this year.
[05:36:38] So I will be a master instructor.
[05:36:42] Damn.
[05:36:44] Be like keep going.
[05:36:45] Sure. You want to do that real quick?
[05:36:48] Do
[05:36:49] you have other interests besides
[05:36:50] refereeing?
[05:36:54] Like genuinely,
[05:36:56] I love this.
[05:36:57] Seriously?
[05:36:58] Uh, what? [ __ ]
[05:36:59] serious right now? I don't always have
[05:37:01] to acknowledge things you say. You don't
[05:37:02] always acknowledge things I say.
[05:37:04] No, you say stupid [ __ ]
[05:37:05] Did you you had said something about
[05:37:07] being interested in piano?
[05:37:08] Yes, I played piano my entire life.
[05:37:11] I love piano music.
[05:37:13] You spent your entire life playing one.
[05:37:15] So, wait, that must mean you're really
[05:37:17] good at it.
[05:37:17] Yeah,
[05:37:19] pretty good. How how long did how long
[05:37:21] did it take you to learn piano?
[05:37:23] Um I don't think you ever necessarily
[05:37:25] stopped learning piano. I think there's
[05:37:27] always things to learn with any
[05:37:29] instrument or really anything. Um but I
[05:37:31] took lessons officially for 15 years and
[05:37:34] I'm still playing now.
[05:37:35] 15 years. 15 years of
[05:37:39] lessons.
[05:37:40] That's crazy.
[05:37:41] Error. Error register. Guest thing
[05:37:44] cannot be located. Janine
[05:37:47] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Guest
[05:37:49] registry. Guest 18 cannot be located.
[05:37:52] Janine, find her now.
[05:37:55] Wait, is isabelle not guest 18?
[05:37:58] It is.
[05:38:02] Is this?
[05:38:04] Oh, we'll need to go back on all of
[05:38:05] this.
[05:38:05] Don't eat that.
[05:38:06] It's really bad.
[05:38:08] My outfit is fine.
[05:38:10] No, it's not. He's a [ __ ] liar.
[05:38:12] Well, since Isabelle did most of the
[05:38:14] work for this photo shoot theme and I
[05:38:16] helped Well, barely. I tried to help,
[05:38:18] but she didn't really let me. We finally
[05:38:21] came to an agreement on doing a photo
[05:38:23] shoot that takes both.
[05:38:24] We haven't seen this in a long time.
[05:38:25] Yeah, the photo shoot
[05:38:26] meets Midwest Gothic and combines them
[05:38:29] both into one really special piece
[05:38:33] and with the power of Shut
[05:38:36] the No, I'm not doing this. I'm not
[05:38:38] doing this. This has gone on too long.
[05:38:40] The clothes AND THE NO. [ __ ] THIS, YOU
[05:38:44] KNOW. NO, I NEED THOSE SUNGLASSES. [ __ ]
[05:38:46] THIS [ __ ]
[05:38:49] Oh my god.
[05:38:51] And here are the final results.
[05:38:59] Midwestern Gothic.
[05:39:09] Again, I love this.
[05:39:13] I I love this is this is more in the
[05:39:15] earlier episodes, but we haven't been
[05:39:17] seeing these a lot recently. But in the
[05:39:19] early episodes, they do the they'd run
[05:39:21] it like a proper show and then end it
[05:39:23] off like a proper show to hide the fact
[05:39:25] that something sus is happening. I love
[05:39:28] the I love the view of art that they
[05:39:30] have in this.
[05:39:36] Um my grandma, my mom, and my dad just
[05:39:39] left
[05:39:40] MXVR. Well, not my grandma. She's still
[05:39:43] here and one of my and my my uncle is
[05:39:46] here. He's upstairs. So, I was just
[05:39:49] here.
[05:39:50] Who are you?
[05:39:51] Next thing you know, my dog sees
[05:39:52] something and I'm trying to figure out
[05:39:54] what it is. So, let's just come over
[05:39:56] here. I want to figure out what the
[05:39:59] wiener is seeing.
[05:40:02] Lucy.
[05:40:04] Lucy. She She doesn't act like this.
[05:40:06] Usually the dogs are the dog's normal,
[05:40:09] but this this one is not normal.
[05:40:13] She doesn't usually do this. She doesn't
[05:40:15] come up to me. She hates me. This dog
[05:40:18] really does hate me.
[05:40:21] Wait, who the hell was that?
[05:40:30] And that was the hog
[05:40:35] again. Shout out to everyone. Shout out
[05:40:37] to everyone. There's one thing I've kind
[05:40:40] of feel annoyed I haven't been taking
[05:40:42] notes of.
[05:40:44] I've only recently known that the ZY is
[05:40:47] referencing the year and the timeline
[05:40:50] because timelines are all obviously very
[05:40:51] important in this. I haven't been
[05:40:53] keeping track of a timeline. I'm going
[05:40:55] to need to do that on my off time when I
[05:40:57] work on sorting this out. Um, but we got
[05:41:01] to remember the timeline. So, this is
[05:41:04] Matthew Henderson. If you guys remember
[05:41:06] from the channel trailer,
[05:41:09] this guy was with Elias and Zenith
[05:41:12] Vanguard in that one scene in that
[05:41:14] channel trailer where they showed like
[05:41:16] the uh the massive back rooms like space
[05:41:19] and then the massive tentacle thing
[05:41:21] coming out. There was a tentacle thing
[05:41:22] in that trailer, too. Matthew was one of
[05:41:25] the people involved and Matthew then
[05:41:27] died in that. So this obviously has
[05:41:29] happened before that happened but he was
[05:41:32] like the previous sort of HR person.
[05:41:35] Yeah. HR support and this is taking
[05:41:38] place when
[05:41:39] I'm speaking on behalf of your soon to
[05:41:42] be employer Adrien James.
[05:41:44] So this happens after Patrick Adams is
[05:41:47] dead and before Adrien James Carter II
[05:41:51] fully takes control of Variant Labs.
[05:41:54] Okay. Zy.43. So that's the year I guess
[05:41:58] it is taking place
[05:41:59] system we're using isn't years down the
[05:42:01] line.
[05:42:01] The the part I want to focus on though
[05:42:04] chat is this this sequence with someone
[05:42:09] called Cammy. We have two people
[05:42:11] mentioned Cammy and like Isabelle.
[05:42:16] Cammy wake up. And then we have this
[05:42:17] sequence.
[05:42:19] Cammy wake up. I interrupted the
[05:42:22] process.
[05:42:24] Was
[05:42:28] Kami going to be like the next guest?
[05:42:30] But she didn't. Which means that the
[05:42:32] girl that we see next in the show is not
[05:42:34] Cammy. That's Isabelle. Yeah, that would
[05:42:37] probably make more sense. So again, like
[05:42:40] look, this is wild. Look at this
[05:42:42] freaking liinal space. Is this how you
[05:42:45] get to the show like or leave the show?
[05:42:52] He doesn't know you're awake yet.
[05:42:56] We've had themes of awakeness. In one of
[05:42:59] the endings of one of the episodes,
[05:43:01] Mason, the sound of Mason even says a
[05:43:04] point at a point where he says like,
[05:43:06] "Arthur, you have to wake up." This idea
[05:43:10] of having to wake up
[05:43:13] as if it's like a dream or like you're
[05:43:16] in some sort of different state.
[05:43:19] Well, we have Cammy here coming up from
[05:43:21] like this fluid.
[05:43:25] Someone has interrupted. I I wonder if
[05:43:27] this is like
[05:43:29] someone has found a way to prevent Cammy
[05:43:33] going to the show as a way to maybe save
[05:43:36] Cammy. Maybe the show is bad. Now we're
[05:43:39] getting that idea that cuz again with
[05:43:42] the idea that even Variant Labs doesn't
[05:43:44] know that why this show is happening.
[05:43:47] It's not deliberate. They didn't make
[05:43:48] this show. It's just happened. Now it
[05:43:52] makes me feel like that. What if there's
[05:43:55] something bad about the show itself as
[05:43:57] well? And I wonder if Mason, you know,
[05:43:59] knows about this, too. Or again, it's
[05:44:04] all about this show. Something about
[05:44:06] this show is just weird.
[05:44:09] A
[05:44:09] single repeating.
[05:44:13] Zy51. So, this is taking place in Z51
[05:44:15] then, I'm guessing.
[05:44:18] And then this is like the previous uh
[05:44:20] guests.
[05:44:21] So this is Sarah. I don't think we've
[05:44:23] had Sarah yet. Sarah.
[05:44:27] Uh I don't know if that says 15 over
[05:44:29] there. We have that. This is Michael
[05:44:32] from yesterday. The tattoo guy. I think
[05:44:34] that says 12th guest.
[05:44:37] This is Vinker.
[05:44:40] Arthur 13th.
[05:44:43] So again, we got to remember where even
[05:44:45] though we started the series with
[05:44:48] Arthur, that was actually not the first
[05:44:50] episode then cuz he's apparently the
[05:44:53] 13th guest
[05:44:55] that we have Abby. We haven't seen Abby
[05:44:57] yet.
[05:44:59] And then Hannah. Wait a minute. Hannah.
[05:45:03] I feel like I feel like I've heard of
[05:45:04] that name as well before. Hannah, but I
[05:45:07] can't remember where I heard it from.
[05:45:10] Hannah.
[05:45:11] Hannah.
[05:45:17] And then we have here, I can hear you.
[05:45:19] As if now the people in charge of the
[05:45:22] show know that there's a disturbance.
[05:45:25] Ooh, is this Mason speaking? Possibly.
[05:45:31] Or Janine.
[05:45:36] Do not trust him.
[05:45:42] Who are you?
[05:45:47] Well, there's the exit.
[05:45:50] Okay, quick thing before we continue. I
[05:45:52] cannot believe I did not notice this
[05:45:55] until recently when I was going back
[05:45:58] through the footage. So, this door, it
[05:46:00] says exit, right? Well, what if I told
[05:46:04] you that that may be an illusion?
[05:46:08] Because before this sign said something
[05:46:11] else there before it would have said
[05:46:16] dressing room. You know the dressing
[05:46:19] room possibly before entering the show
[05:46:23] question mark. We then get the glitching
[05:46:26] and then it changes to exit. That's such
[05:46:30] a cool sneaky little Easter egg or trick
[05:46:34] of our eyes that I didn't spot at first.
[05:46:37] So now I don't even know if Cami
[05:46:39] actually truly exited the show or if the
[05:46:43] space sort of became alive and did a
[05:46:47] trick on Cammy to get her into the show.
[05:46:52] But then again, later we see that that
[05:46:54] the next guest is missing. So yeah, I I
[05:46:58] don't know what's the deal with that.
[05:47:01] She opens the exit door, but there's
[05:47:03] nothing present. It's just pitch black.
[05:47:09] Cammy, you're not
[05:47:16] I wonder if that's Janine speaking
[05:47:18] there. Cammy, you're not supposed to be
[05:47:19] up here. So, Cammy was going to be the
[05:47:22] 18th guest, I think. And because they
[05:47:24] actually mentioned this later,
[05:47:30] Cammy gets taken away into the darkness.
[05:47:37] Don't know what happens with her.
[05:47:39] The directors and
[05:47:40] we now know what this alarm means.
[05:47:43] This alarm corresponds to a restricted
[05:47:45] chamber.
[05:47:46] Restricted chamber. So now we know what
[05:47:48] that alarm means. And that makes sense
[05:47:50] because again the restricted chamber has
[05:47:52] become the set of the Avarian show.
[05:47:56] That's why it has the alarm. It all
[05:47:58] makes sense now.
[05:47:59] Desuse all and department overseers
[05:48:02] only. designated for directors and
[05:48:04] department overseas
[05:48:05] is not intended for general staff use.
[05:48:07] Lower end staff and general staff are
[05:48:09] not allowed here
[05:48:10] or trainee access.
[05:48:12] And then the show starts
[05:48:14] and Isabelle is the 17th guest and then
[05:48:18] the show goes as normal. This was a
[05:48:19] funny show. I'm not going to lie. This I
[05:48:21] loved this. The interaction is
[05:48:23] fantastic.
[05:48:25] He even eats a crayon live on on on TV.
[05:48:29] What more could you ask for? Tonight's
[05:48:31] guest is a bad [ __ ]
[05:48:34] Episode 17. So yeah, that confirms again
[05:48:36] that this is the 17th guest.
[05:48:38] Third Dawn Black Belt. Ladies and
[05:48:41] gentlemen,
[05:48:43] a very on schedule/ 18th guest not
[05:48:46] found. And I think the 18th guest is
[05:48:49] Cammy.
[05:48:51] And now there's like the system or
[05:48:53] whatever is running this knows that
[05:48:54] someone has escaped. If we get to the
[05:48:57] bit where it glitches, introduce
[05:49:01] that in multiple countries.
[05:49:05] One of my one of one of my skills. Um
[05:49:07] I'm hot. I wish.
[05:49:10] Um
[05:49:11] taekwondo. She does taekwondo. She's a
[05:49:14] she really is a jack of all trades, huh?
[05:49:16] Now, where's the part where it glitches?
[05:49:17] Yeah. Yeah. So, error guest registry
[05:49:20] guest cannot be located. Janine, find
[05:49:23] her now. And I think that may have been
[05:49:26] Janine there confronting Cammy at the
[05:49:29] end before she was taken away. But taken
[05:49:32] away by who? And how did she like manage
[05:49:35] to escape here? I also feel like
[05:49:38] everyone's experience here
[05:49:41] maybe a little bit different.
[05:49:44] I don't know why. I just get that vibe
[05:49:45] that everyone's experience coming to
[05:49:47] this place is different. We even saw
[05:49:50] that from the early episodes. You know,
[05:49:51] Michael, for example, had no trouble
[05:49:55] getting to the set, whereas someone like
[05:49:57] Vinka, you know, felt a little bit lost.
[05:50:00] Arthur said that he was in a room filled
[05:50:03] with clothes.
[05:50:06] Endless.
[05:50:08] We have Cammy coming up from like this
[05:50:11] massive ladder
[05:50:16] from beneath
[05:50:19] which is apparently underwater too. And
[05:50:22] again, someone's just helping her exit.
[05:50:24] I don't know who this could be, though.
[05:50:26] And then we have this sequence at the
[05:50:28] end. Note again that MXVR,
[05:50:31] seeing a lot of MXVR, this is related to
[05:50:33] a project. He's still here. And
[05:50:35] and we have this boy.
[05:50:37] Hi.
[05:50:39] 11:30 p.m. Angle 2 camcorder.
[05:50:42] My uncle is here. He's upstairs like
[05:50:45] this.
[05:50:45] What the wiener is seeing. And we'll
[05:50:47] never know what the wiener sees because
[05:50:48] then the episode ends. You know, we did
[05:50:51] see a camcorder vision of Mason before
[05:50:53] in a previous episode. Is that too easy
[05:50:57] to just say that this is a a young Mason
[05:51:00] here? Mason is is special.
[05:51:06] Ro got trolled on this episode. I feel
[05:51:09] bad for him because of his fit. Ch. We
[05:51:12] are two episodes away from being up to
[05:51:15] date. We're nearly there, guys. We're
[05:51:17] nearly there. We're so close. Next
[05:51:20] episode, though, the rabbit hole. This
[05:51:24] one's 10 minutes long. Arthur, why can't
[05:51:28] you just sit still?
[05:51:31] Oh, Arthur. Are we going to see Arthur
[05:51:33] again?
[05:51:36] And where do you think you're off to?
[05:51:41] Oh my god.
[05:51:43] It's the tentacle thing.
[05:51:45] I'll make you fit.
[05:51:50] You got to hide. I got to hide. I got to
[05:51:52] hide. I got to hide. I got to do
[05:51:53] something.
[05:51:58] What? That's just a casual bedroom.
[05:51:59] I don't get a break. No one does.
[05:52:03] Oh my god. We get to see the tentacle
[05:52:04] monster in a bit more detail now.
[05:52:05] Wasn't permission for you to wander on
[05:52:07] your own.
[05:52:10] Please. Please.
[05:52:12] What the hell?
[05:52:15] Partner, we're not done here yet.
[05:52:17] Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my
[05:52:19] god. Oh god. [ __ ]
[05:52:20] You got this, Arthur. You got this.
[05:52:21] Okay. Okay. It's fine. It's
[05:52:24] Oh my god.
[05:52:26] Dude, WHAT?
[05:52:29] Holy crap.
[05:52:38] What?
[05:52:40] Oh my god. NO. NO. NO. NO. STOP.
[05:52:46] What What a start. Also, I need to move
[05:52:49] the subtitles.
[05:52:50] What? Warning. Camera damage. Fashion
[05:52:53] baby unusable.
[05:52:57] Oh, Arthur.
[05:53:00] Did no way. How do you survive a fall
[05:53:03] like that? Also, how [ __ ]
[05:53:06] Okay. Okay,
[05:53:09] I got to shut up.
[05:53:16] What the [ __ ]
[05:53:32] Is that Mike?
[05:53:38] That's Mike.
[05:53:46] I swear to God, I fell from up there.
[05:53:50] There's no way I [ __ ] survived. How
[05:53:52] long was I Did I die?
[05:53:55] I was just on stage.
[05:53:59] I wouldn't blame you for asking that
[05:54:00] question of if you died. Like
[05:54:02] I'm sure this is something that's being
[05:54:04] Where is this reality
[05:54:06] recorded? I hope. I mean, I'm recording
[05:54:08] right now. Maybe it's a part of the
[05:54:11] Veyron show and Mason is here and he's
[05:54:13] watching and it's okay. And I probably
[05:54:17] just have to walk out and then
[05:54:18] everyone's going to see me.
[05:54:18] I love Arthur's optimism.
[05:54:24] How the [ __ ]
[05:54:29] I don't know where I am.
[05:54:36] What?
[05:54:38] Hello?
[05:54:45] Where am I?
[05:54:49] I'm not on the talk show. This is not
[05:54:51] the talk show,
[05:54:55] guys. I don't think this is reality.
[05:54:57] This This seems Okay. No,
[05:55:00] there's no way I came from up there.
[05:55:02] You could even see it. This is not
[05:55:04] reality.
[05:55:06] No way. It's coming down from up there.
[05:55:08] Is that
[05:55:14] looks like a straw?
[05:55:20] Hello.
[05:55:22] Who's out there?
[05:55:25] Mason. Mason, stop [ __ ] playing
[05:55:27] around.
[05:55:30] Stop. Don't leave.
[05:55:33] Please.
[05:55:35] Who said that?
[05:55:36] I'm not [ __ ] around. Who's there?
[05:55:38] I um
[05:55:40] Who's Who are you?
[05:55:43] Well, ever since getting here, I haven't
[05:55:46] been able to remember much about myself.
[05:55:48] But for now, you can call me Daisy.
[05:55:52] Daisy.
[05:55:52] Daisy.
[05:55:53] Okay.
[05:55:55] How How How can you see me?
[05:55:57] I'm not quite sure. Of all the voices
[05:56:00] I've heard in this place, yours is quite
[05:56:03] different. Clearer than most.
[05:56:06] Different? Wait, what do you mean all
[05:56:08] the voices? Like there's other people.
[05:56:12] Yes and no. I'm still not quite sure.
[05:56:16] I'm still learning about my surroundings
[05:56:18] and how I even got here. One thing for
[05:56:21] sure is I can hear you clearer than
[05:56:23] anyone else.
[05:56:25] So asking you where I am is pointless?
[05:56:30] I'm afraid so. Just like you, we seem to
[05:56:33] both be stuck in a place of
[05:56:35] unfamiliarity.
[05:56:37] Yet I can hear you.
[05:56:40] louder than the rest, which could mean
[05:56:42] we may have room to do something.
[05:56:45] Room
[05:56:47] to do what exactly?
[05:56:52] Well, where are you? What do your
[05:56:56] surroundings appear as?
[05:56:57] [ __ ] I don't I don't know. It's like a
[05:57:00] Windows background. It's just a field.
[05:57:03] There's I It's just a field.
[05:57:08] Wait,
[05:57:10] did you say
[05:57:11] with houses
[05:57:13] big sky?
[05:57:15] Are there trees in the distance?
[05:57:18] Yeah, there is.
[05:57:22] No, not Oh, no. What?
[05:57:24] Stay still. Don't move.
[05:57:35] Who the [ __ ] are you?
[05:57:37] Listen to me very carefully.
[05:57:41] Don't think
[05:57:44] is that.
[05:57:48] Keep still. Just listen. Behind you. Way
[05:57:53] back across the field, it's an old
[05:57:55] farmhouse.
[05:57:58] I need you to
[05:58:07] Oh no, I don't like your vibe.
[05:58:10] Run,
[05:58:15] run.
[05:58:25] What the [ __ ] I'm trying to see if I
[05:58:27] can recognize the face even though like
[05:58:28] his eyes are closed. But
[05:58:31] Mason
[05:58:33] that.
[05:58:37] No way. That's Mason.
[05:58:41] Go Arthur. Get the
[05:58:46] No way. That's Mason.
[05:58:49] Thank [ __ ] Thank [ __ ] I think I lost
[05:58:51] him.
[05:58:53] It's okay. You're safe.
[05:58:56] Rest easy. He can't get you from over
[05:58:58] here. At least not now.
[05:59:06] What is bro wearing?
[05:59:07] That makes sense.
[05:59:09] In a way, yes.
[05:59:12] Oh,
[05:59:12] I can't explain everything though. You
[05:59:14] need to get up and head to the house.
[05:59:23] It's not safe. Arthur, don't trust him.
[05:59:27] Don't trust this. Was a mistake.
[05:59:32] You're a dead.
[05:59:34] You're a lost. Okay, I need to go back
[05:59:36] and read all that
[05:59:37] here now and not for long.
[05:59:44] How do you know my name?
[05:59:47] Do you Do you know me?
[05:59:51] Hello? How do you know my name?
[05:59:54] A woman told me.
[05:59:57] A woman? Right. I thought you said I was
[06:00:01] the clearest person you could hear or
[06:00:03] something.
[06:00:05] You are. That wasn't a lie. But the way
[06:00:08] you and I communicate is different.
[06:00:11] You're confused. Yes. But you're more
[06:00:13] aware, talkative, and have a fairly
[06:00:16] different motive. It's difficult to
[06:00:19] explain.
[06:00:20] Well, you better get to explaining.
[06:00:22] Otherwise, honey, I'll take my chances
[06:00:23] with Jackaloupe Mason over there.
[06:00:24] Hannah?
[06:00:25] Hannah? Like Hannah? Hannah? My best
[06:00:28] friend?
[06:00:28] Hannah?
[06:00:29] The same.
[06:00:30] How the hell do you know Hannah?
[06:00:32] All their friends.
[06:00:34] She seemed lost yet found. She was in a
[06:00:39] place that was familiar to her, but
[06:00:41] everything was misplaced. She seemed
[06:00:44] almost like you, but she was convinced
[06:00:46] this all of this was still a part of
[06:00:50] some talk show. She's the one who sent
[06:00:53] me to find you.
[06:00:55] So, you know where she is
[06:00:56] in a way? Yes.
[06:00:59] Let me speak to her.
[06:01:00] I'm afraid that can't happen, Arthur.
[06:01:02] She hasn't exactly learned how to speak
[06:01:04] to you like I'm speaking to you. It's
[06:01:07] strange. this place. It takes some
[06:01:10] getting used to, and some people would
[06:01:12] much rather cry or cower in fear than do
[06:01:15] what you've done this far.
[06:01:17] Okay, what else do you know?
[06:01:20] I know you don't remember how you got
[06:01:22] here.
[06:01:24] I know you're scared and need guidance
[06:01:26] for certain things. I know you keep
[06:01:29] wondering how your clothes and hair keep
[06:01:31] changing drastically. And even with all
[06:01:34] this craziness happening, I know you
[06:01:37] don't trust me. And through it all, I
[06:01:40] know the last memory you had before you
[06:01:42] entered for this so-called Bavarian
[06:01:45] show.
[06:01:47] Okay, I'll buy you. What was my last
[06:01:50] memory?
[06:01:52] Mason's 25th birthday party. The one you
[06:01:55] and Hannah and many others got wasted
[06:01:59] at.
[06:02:02] Oh,
[06:02:10] we did see a video of a birthday party
[06:02:13] of Mason.
[06:02:30] Again,
[06:02:34] with every episode we go through, things
[06:02:36] just
[06:02:38] get more and more bizarre.
[06:02:41] Right,
[06:02:44] we finally get a proper view of this
[06:02:47] tentacle thing. And boy, do I not know
[06:02:51] what this is.
[06:02:53] What is that?
[06:02:56] I thought initially that this would be a
[06:02:58] tail. I don't think so anymore. This is
[06:03:00] like a It's It's a tentacle monster.
[06:03:03] It's a tentacle monster.
[06:03:09] I have no idea what this tentacle
[06:03:11] monster could be, but it's a tentacle
[06:03:12] monster.
[06:03:13] Um,
[06:03:17] it's very terrifying.
[06:03:20] Oh my god.
[06:03:20] And it looks like it has weird lumps on
[06:03:22] itself.
[06:03:24] Almost feels like it's rocky.
[06:03:26] Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. OH GOD.
[06:03:28] [ __ ] [ __ ] HOLY [ __ ] OH MY GOD.
[06:03:31] WELL, here the weird thing is though cuz
[06:03:33] I swear he this guy fell down already
[06:03:35] once. Unless there's like another like
[06:03:37] section that he had to run through.
[06:03:41] Oh my god.
[06:03:45] And then
[06:03:51] he falls down. Can I just say um
[06:03:58] this this sequence has to have been
[06:04:01] inspired by cane pixels the back rooms.
[06:04:05] This this sequence must have been
[06:04:07] inspired by that cuz I nearly got
[06:04:09] reminded of that when bro was falling
[06:04:11] down here. Now I initially thought this
[06:04:15] would be like the real world that he's
[06:04:16] returning to but later we find out that
[06:04:19] that might not be the case. Um, also
[06:04:25] you can even see where he freaking fell
[06:04:28] down through.
[06:04:30] Looks like a freaking
[06:04:32] drink straw.
[06:04:35] Yeah. We enter this place, this like
[06:04:39] very green abandoned looking place, and
[06:04:41] we then hear a voice called Daisy
[06:04:45] who says that, you know, she can't see
[06:04:48] us, I think. Or I think she can also see
[06:04:50] us, but she can also hear us or
[06:04:52] something. This I don't know if this is
[06:04:54] like maybe someone else who's also
[06:04:56] fallen to this place just like Arthur
[06:04:58] is,
[06:05:00] but we're in this place none uh
[06:05:02] nonetheless. And
[06:05:05] then
[06:05:07] we see this guy
[06:05:10] and apparently this is Mason,
[06:05:13] the Mason.
[06:05:15] And that's what I was initially thought
[06:05:17] thinking too. But again, why is he just
[06:05:20] there? I kind of find it odd that he's
[06:05:23] just here. The head of the Avarian show,
[06:05:26] you know, the host of it is this guy
[06:05:29] right now. Looks like he's wearing
[06:05:31] tattered clothes or something. I don't
[06:05:34] know what he's wearing like rope or
[06:05:38] tubes or I don't know. And he's wearing
[06:05:44] like eye cover. He speaks, but we can't
[06:05:47] like hear him.
[06:05:52] And he's acting so weird.
[06:05:55] Run.
[06:05:59] But then if this is Mason, then why?
[06:06:02] Why?
[06:06:04] And he is trying to communicate with
[06:06:06] him. We see this in the text. Arthur,
[06:06:11] go Arthur. Get
[06:06:14] [ __ ] I want to get to the part where
[06:06:16] he's talking. I want to hear him speak
[06:06:18] again. I want to see him speak. Sorry.
[06:06:20] Okay.
[06:06:22] Unwanted. Does that say
[06:06:27] un
[06:06:29] unwanted?
[06:06:31] And yeah, and then even the voice
[06:06:33] confirms that this is
[06:06:35] Mason in a way. Yes, this is Mason,
[06:06:40] which I still again find bizarre. What
[06:06:42] is the host of the show doing here?
[06:06:45] Why is he wearing rabbit ears? I want to
[06:06:48] see what it says. Yep. Arthur,
[06:06:53] we can't hear him speak. I wonder if
[06:06:55] that's like something that the stuff
[06:06:57] he's wearing is making him not speak.
[06:07:02] It's not safe, Arthur.
[06:07:07] The space he's referring to, I guess. Do
[06:07:10] not
[06:07:11] trust him. There's a this phrase do not
[06:07:15] trust him has been mentioned a lot
[06:07:19] and I don't know who they're referring
[06:07:21] to as him initially. You know what
[06:07:24] because we saw it in the last episode
[06:07:25] too. I don't know if that's referencing
[06:07:28] to not trust Mason. But if this form of
[06:07:32] Mason is also saying to not trust him
[06:07:35] then who actually is him? The only other
[06:07:38] thing the only other person I can think
[06:07:40] of is I don't know Adrian Carter II and
[06:07:44] we haven't seen any news about him in
[06:07:46] some time actually and again I don't
[06:07:49] even know if Adrian Carter knows about
[06:07:51] this too because again scientists at
[06:07:54] Variant Labs don't know about the show
[06:07:56] or why it's happening
[06:07:59] don't trust his voice
[06:08:02] but the voice we are hearing is someone
[06:08:05] called Daisy
[06:08:08] He can't be referring to that voice that
[06:08:10] we're hearing, right?
[06:08:13] This was a mistake.
[06:08:18] You're dead, Arthur.
[06:08:22] You are a lost
[06:08:25] You're dead, Arthur. You are a lost
[06:08:25] cause.
[06:08:30] I think you are a lost cause.
[06:08:34] H
[06:08:36] he was jokingly he Arthur was jokingly
[06:08:39] saying, "Oh, am I dead?" But even now
[06:08:42] he's mentioned it. Is this like what
[06:08:46] paradise? Like what what does he mean by
[06:08:48] that?
[06:08:50] You're a dead man. Don't trust him.
[06:08:52] You're a dead man.
[06:08:55] My theory right now is saying what if
[06:08:57] like this space that we're in that
[06:08:59] Arthur has found himself in. Maybe this
[06:09:02] is like what happens to people who
[06:09:06] finish the show or leave. Sometimes they
[06:09:09] can end up in this place. I I'm not
[06:09:13] This is clearly a very confusing part.
[06:09:17] This area this this episode is a little
[06:09:19] bit confusing me cuz
[06:09:21] Yeah. like why why does this place
[06:09:23] exist? They also mention Hannah.
[06:09:26] Um now I cuz again I've heard of the
[06:09:29] name Hannah. Yeah.
[06:09:30] Like Hannah. Hannah. My best friend.
[06:09:33] And that's Arthur's best friend.
[06:09:35] We saw a poster in the last episode of
[06:09:37] Hannah going to be on the show. He will
[06:09:41] be on the show. I wonder if Hannah also
[06:09:44] came to this place, but it maybe looked
[06:09:47] a little bit different to her. to her,
[06:09:49] but everything was misplaced. She seemed
[06:09:52] almost like you, but she was convinced
[06:09:55] this all of this was still a part of
[06:09:59] some talk show. She's the one who sent
[06:10:02] me to find you.
[06:10:03] So, you know where she is
[06:10:05] in a way? Yes.
[06:10:07] Yeah. Okay. So, she's also gone to this
[06:10:10] place. her best friend has which again
[06:10:12] maybe leans to the idea again that
[06:10:14] people who finish the talk show do end
[06:10:16] up here
[06:10:18] possibly
[06:10:20] it's like trapping the guests even
[06:10:23] let me speak to her
[06:10:24] I'm afraid that can't happen Arthur
[06:10:26] and yeah then she mentioned something
[06:10:29] the last memory you had so I feel like
[06:10:30] another thing that could be happening is
[06:10:32] when people fall down here they have
[06:10:34] maybe memory lapse issues
[06:10:37] and it's suggested that Arthur doesn't
[06:10:40] remember stuff. Yeah, I know you don't
[06:10:43] remember how you got here.
[06:10:46] This part is weird, too.
[06:10:48] You don't trust me. And through it all,
[06:10:50] I know the last memory you had before
[06:10:53] you entered for this so-called Navaron
[06:10:56] show.
[06:10:58] Okay, I'll buy you. What was my last
[06:11:01] memory?
[06:11:03] Mason's 25th birthday party.
[06:11:06] Mason's 25th birthday party.
[06:11:10] Shh. You will want to give away the
[06:11:12] surprise. You're invited to Mason's 25th
[06:11:16] surprise birthday bash hosted by Arthur
[06:11:20] Leon
[06:11:22] 4092 West Unit St. February 5th 6:00
[06:11:28] p.m.
[06:11:30] Now chat in a one of the previous
[06:11:33] episodes I don't remember which one but
[06:11:34] it is in one of them. We actually get a
[06:11:37] cut image of a moment where we see
[06:11:42] a birthday party take place and Mason's
[06:11:46] there.
[06:11:47] But now now they're relating stuff
[06:11:49] towards that
[06:11:52] cuz that footage there shows and this
[06:11:55] also kind of confirms too that Mason
[06:11:58] should technically be a real person and
[06:12:01] he had a normal life but somehow he's
[06:12:05] now involved in all of this and
[06:12:09] everything rests on him almost and like
[06:12:11] he's like
[06:12:13] Mason is is is one hell of an
[06:12:15] interesting mysterious character. Among
[06:12:18] all of the mysteries, we have this
[06:12:20] moment with with Mason and his existence
[06:12:24] in all of this.
[06:12:27] It I love how this episode is called the
[06:12:30] rabbit hole because this truly is a
[06:12:33] rabbit hole. Like, it keeps going
[06:12:35] deeper, chat.
[06:12:38] I I I wouldn't even be surprised if some
[06:12:40] of you guys are finding it hard to to
[06:12:42] follow on because it really is very
[06:12:45] extensive and deep.
[06:12:48] This is wild. The amount of effort that
[06:12:51] has gone into this story is is crazy.
[06:12:54] And again, I know this series has been
[06:12:56] running for a very long time, too. So,
[06:13:00] it's it's honestly worth it. This was a
[06:13:02] very confusing episode. Definitely maybe
[06:13:05] the probably the most confusingest one
[06:13:07] for me. Of course, we have a lot of
[06:13:09] confusing, you know, questions and
[06:13:11] answers that we need, but this one in
[06:13:14] particular
[06:13:15] is
[06:13:18] was a confusing one for me to
[06:13:19] understand. Like, where is this space
[06:13:22] again? Like, where where is this?
[06:13:25] Why is Mason like this here? And this is
[06:13:29] clearly not reality
[06:13:31] I think because again the big hole in
[06:13:35] the sky. It also says unknown here. So
[06:13:39] it's an unknown I think year I'm suggest
[06:13:42] guessing that's suggesting which means
[06:13:44] this has to be some sort of
[06:13:47] abstract space that they have fallen
[06:13:49] through.
[06:13:51] Much to ponder about but chat we're on
[06:13:54] the final episode. We are now reaching
[06:13:58] the most latest episode in the show. The
[06:14:03] one that actually recently came out and
[06:14:06] apparently there's been a lot of time.
[06:14:08] This one took a long time to make as
[06:14:09] well. Um, this one is called The Orange
[06:14:12] Channel.
[06:14:14] This is the final episode in the list so
[06:14:18] far of the ones that are out in the
[06:14:20] series. This is the latest one. This
[06:14:22] one's 8 minutes long. Are we ready for
[06:14:26] this guys? Right. What do we have? Ah,
[06:14:29] yes. And this is the website where you
[06:14:31] can find the not the website. Sorry, I
[06:14:34] said that sentence wrong. This is the
[06:14:37] episode or the video where you can also
[06:14:40] then have access to this ARG website
[06:14:45] that has also is accompanying all of
[06:14:48] this stuff. But also, we're going to
[06:14:50] have attention back on Variant Labs.
[06:14:53] Variant Labs presents a Varion.
[06:14:57] I feel like this is also just sort of a
[06:15:00] a um a promo possibly from Variant Labs
[06:15:04] in a way. Maybe another Variant AB Labs
[06:15:06] ad. This is it.
[06:15:10] Orange channel.
[06:15:15] We've been on question six for like
[06:15:17] what, an hour?
[06:15:19] Not even an hour. It's been two. I
[06:15:23] checked twice.
[06:15:26] Would you please read the question over
[06:15:28] again before I have a third migraine?
[06:15:32] The problem says, "Explain the
[06:15:34] like-minded similarities between
[06:15:36] between suicide and staying up until
[06:15:38] 5:00 a.m. when we have a test tomorrow."
[06:15:41] Yesesh, a little college student.
[06:15:44] We don't really have a solution other
[06:15:46] than studying all night.
[06:15:47] I feel you. I've been there before.
[06:15:49] We need like a real solution. like
[06:15:51] something that's gonna keep us awake in
[06:15:53] thinking because I swear I'm gonna blow
[06:15:55] out.
[06:15:55] So real.
[06:16:02] You guys feel that?
[06:16:03] Oh god. What's happening?
[06:16:07] What's happening?
[06:16:11] Earthquake.
[06:16:16] You know, there was mention of sisic
[06:16:18] activity before in one of the previous
[06:16:20] episodes.
[06:16:21] Why do we always get these here?
[06:16:24] I've heard your pleas. I've heard your
[06:16:26] complaints. AND NOW I'M here to offer a
[06:16:29] solution.

[06:22:24] surprised there's a freaking musical for
[06:22:26] this with everything that we've gone
[06:22:28] through. What is this part of the ad
[06:22:33] for a pill?
[06:22:34] Ask your variant labs representative if
[06:22:36] it's right for you. Locate your
[06:22:38] representative from any high ranking
[06:22:40] representative within the Zion city
[06:22:41] limit that you have consumed a bion as
[06:22:42] your life may be in danger. Side effects
[06:22:44] of taking a bion may include increased
[06:22:45] alertness, improved mood, decreased
[06:22:47] minor aches, reduced inflammation,
[06:22:49] clearer thinking, steadier energy, and a
[06:22:50] renewed interest in completing tasks
[06:22:51] you've been avoiding since last week.
[06:22:53] Other commonly reported effects include
[06:22:54] faster reaction time, increased stamina,
[06:22:56] reduced fatigue, and a temporary sensory
[06:22:57] craving for bright colors, most notably
[06:22:59] orange juice. If you consume alcohol
[06:23:00] while using a baron, side effects may
[06:23:02] intensify and include accelerated
[06:23:03] heartbeat, exaggerated cheerfulness,
[06:23:04] sudden risk taking or judgment disguise
[06:23:06] of bravery, permanent loss of head hair,
[06:23:08] temporary loss of facial hair, temporary
[06:23:09] loved ones, spontaneous combustion, and
[06:23:11] hallucinations related to butterflies or
[06:23:14] other small insects. Hallucinations do
[06:23:17] not go beyond that.
[06:23:20] We've checked.
[06:23:23] Learn more on the official Variant Labs
[06:23:25] website. still under construction but
[06:23:28] now open to the public.
[06:23:31] And that's it.
[06:23:33] This was pretty much an ad for like the
[06:23:35] website.
[06:23:37] This is like another sort of variant lab
[06:23:39] sort of promotional material. I feel
[06:23:41] like this is showing. So you have people
[06:23:45] doing college homework
[06:23:48] and then boom,
[06:23:50] we have James, Agent James Carter II's
[06:23:53] face reveal. Trademark by the way. Just
[06:23:56] got to point that out. Um,
[06:23:59] that's Adrian Connor. That is again,
[06:24:01] guys, the head of Variant Labs. We
[06:24:04] finally see him. And he has a pill and
[06:24:08] does a bro does a bit of a poem.
[06:24:10] It comes in bottles stacked in rows 60
[06:24:13] strong because one, who knows?
[06:24:16] I Bro was hitting bars.
[06:24:21] Um, that's the first reference mentioned
[06:24:24] now of a pill and the pill thanks to
[06:24:28] this fantastic musical duet or triplet.
[06:24:32] I don't I I'm not into musicals. What
[06:24:34] What is it when three people sing? It's
[06:24:36] not a duet. It's a triplet. I You know
[06:24:40] what I mean? Um although they make the
[06:24:43] sound effects sound really bad. So why
[06:24:46] would you ever take
[06:24:47] for your brain? We've got treatment for
[06:24:49] your brain.
[06:24:51] It's peachy sweet. It tastes so good.
[06:24:54] Peachy sweet. Guys, I don't like peach.
[06:24:57] I don't like peach. I don't think I'll
[06:24:58] try that.
[06:24:59] Takes you back to your childhood.
[06:25:00] You want the best? That's understood.
[06:25:07] So, the pill is called Avarion.
[06:25:11] What? We have the show called Avarion
[06:25:14] and now we have the pill. Which came
[06:25:17] first? the show or the pill?
[06:25:21] Because again guys, Var the people at
[06:25:23] Variant Labs can't understand why in
[06:25:26] their in the containment chamber that
[06:25:28] they have in their lab, the most
[06:25:30] dangerous pace place, why that place in
[06:25:34] particular is
[06:25:36] taken over by this show called the
[06:25:38] Avarian Show. But now we have James
[06:25:42] Carter II freaking reveal
[06:25:46] his Avaron pill.
[06:25:49] Take too much or else.
[06:25:53] Don't take too much or else
[06:25:55] your back will crack.
[06:25:56] Yeah. Obviously you have to be careful
[06:25:57] with your dosage and whatnot. If you if
[06:26:00] you take too much,
[06:26:02] your back will crack. Your knees will
[06:26:04] bend. You may become virgin again. Your
[06:26:06] bones will glow and heart will race. You
[06:26:08] might combust all over the place.
[06:26:10] That doesn't sound good. I don't want to
[06:26:13] combust, man. Hello.
[06:26:14] Your hair will burn. Your skin will
[06:26:16] flake.
[06:26:16] Watch out. You
[06:26:17] Your skin will flake.
[06:26:20] Is that a good way to describe what we
[06:26:22] saw with like Jackson? Jackson. That's
[06:26:26] his name. Jax. Sorry. Jackson. Jax. Is
[06:26:29] that a good way to describe how the skin
[06:26:31] looked like on those victims? Like Ethel
[06:26:34] and Jax. flaky skin.
[06:26:38] Ooh, another connection there.
[06:26:41] You might combust all over the place.
[06:26:43] Your hair will burn. Your skin will
[06:26:44] flake.
[06:26:45] Watch out, you might hallucinate.
[06:26:46] Your smile will
[06:26:48] Your smile will twist.
[06:26:49] You'll feel distress will burn. Your
[06:26:51] skin will flake.
[06:26:52] Watch out, you might hallucinate.
[06:26:53] Your smile will twist. You'll feel
[06:26:55] Your smile will twist. We've seen some
[06:26:58] smiling people. A lot of mentions of
[06:27:01] people smiling. You'll feel distracted.
[06:27:03] lose your dad. And
[06:27:05] okay, nah, this has to be a reference to
[06:27:08] something he's done. You'll lose your
[06:27:10] dad.
[06:27:12] Did James II
[06:27:15] like I'm saying as if he's like a king?
[06:27:17] Did Asian
[06:27:19] I kill his dad? Is that what you're kind
[06:27:23] of foreshadowing here with that? Come
[06:27:26] on. You can't hide it if you are if that
[06:27:29] is the truth.
[06:27:30] Adam,
[06:27:30] item redacted.
[06:27:32] Item redacted. Boom. They're dead.
[06:27:35] He's dead.
[06:27:38] You got to be [ __ ]
[06:27:40] Well, this guy seems to be the most
[06:27:41] logical one in the situation. Like,
[06:27:43] yeah, bro. What are you doing at my
[06:27:45] home? Get out. I'm not taking any of
[06:27:48] your pills. He was clearly the most
[06:27:50] smartest one in the in the room.
[06:27:53] All gone.
[06:27:54] Made with love from parts unknown.
[06:27:56] So, call right now. Pick
[06:27:57] made with parts unknown. Yeah, that
[06:28:02] sus.
[06:28:03] What is it made of? I wonder. And it's
[06:28:07] orange, too. It has that orange.
[06:28:11] It's orange colored as well. What if the
[06:28:14] thing that that Mason sped out could
[06:28:16] have been something like this as well?
[06:28:19] And yeah, it also shows it like you have
[06:28:21] to drink this. It's one of those like
[06:28:24] drinkable. I mean obviously when you
[06:28:25] take medication you drink but like it's
[06:28:28] like one of those like pills that you
[06:28:29] put in water and then it like dissolves.
[06:28:31] What's your judg or variant labs
[06:28:33] representative if a variant is right for
[06:28:35] you? Again the pill is called Avarian.
[06:28:39] We have the Avarian show now it's we
[06:28:43] need to try and piece together
[06:28:46] which we can't do right now because this
[06:28:48] is literally the low the the latest
[06:28:50] episode.
[06:28:51] Did the shower variant come first or did
[06:28:55] the pill come first? We don't have a
[06:28:58] date, I think. Actually, do we have a
[06:29:00] date? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
[06:29:02] wait, wait. No, wait.
[06:29:04] An hour,
[06:29:05] wait. Z Y51.
[06:29:08] Is that the same year the show started
[06:29:09] as well? I'd have to look back
[06:29:13] on previous footage.
[06:29:16] Like, let's say here
[06:29:18] every single one. Oh god, this is such a
[06:29:20] throwback now because what year is this?
[06:29:23] Absolutely.
[06:29:24] Z Y51 as well.
[06:29:27] So,
[06:29:29] and by this time, Arthur is like what,
[06:29:32] the 13th guest? I wonder if both things
[06:29:36] got aired out in tandem with each other
[06:29:38] in the same year. Then the pill and the
[06:29:42] show or the pill is a side effect. No,
[06:29:45] no. The show is a
[06:29:48] adding a freaking medication thing into
[06:29:50] the mix of this drugs into the story,
[06:29:54] guys.
[06:29:57] That's a whole new layer of questioning.
[06:30:00] I don't know. I don't know. It's there's
[06:30:03] just so much things you can
[06:30:06] James Carter.
[06:30:10] I would say the biggest takehome from
[06:30:12] this is that we now have voice and
[06:30:16] facial confirmation of Adrien Carter II.
[06:30:19] So this guy, this guy could be the bad
[06:30:22] guy in all of this. He's the one who
[06:30:24] leads Varian Labs. He's the one who, you
[06:30:26] know, does all these experiments. I'd
[06:30:28] really be interested to know if he knows
[06:30:32] about the Avarion show
[06:30:35] because again, the other scientists we
[06:30:36] remember from
[06:30:38] um the incident episode don't know about
[06:30:41] the Avarian show. I wonder if Adrian
[06:30:44] knows about this. Also, I think we had
[06:30:47] Talon coming. We've heard mentions of
[06:30:49] Talon.
[06:30:52] That's Talon,
[06:30:54] right?
[06:30:55] Um excuse me.
[06:30:59] Thank you, Talon.
[06:31:00] Yeah, that's Talon. Trademark Talon.
[06:31:04] I love the trademark when in anything
[06:31:06] they say.
[06:31:09] This is so big.
[06:31:11] This is like,
[06:31:13] weirdly enough, can I say this? This is
[06:31:15] like on the same level of for some
[06:31:17] reason on Marble Hornets because of just
[06:31:18] how much information there is and how
[06:31:21] much there is to digest. But also, it's
[06:31:24] not the same thing. Um, obviously it's
[06:31:26] much more tamer than that, but there's a
[06:31:29] lot there's so much to unpack and
[06:31:33] theorize
[06:31:35] and talk about and discuss
[06:31:38] that I can't think of it right now. But
[06:31:40] I need to sort of like get my own space
[06:31:42] and then sort of write down all these
[06:31:44] notes and and try and formulate maybe a
[06:31:47] timeline or like a sequence of ideas and
[06:31:50] events that could be
[06:31:53] happening and and going on in this
[06:31:55] universe.
[06:31:58] And yeah, that's it really. We have
[06:32:02] watched all of the episodes starting all
[06:32:05] the way back down from the channel
[06:32:06] trailer to the recent episode that has
[06:32:09] been available to us since the time of
[06:32:12] recording, aka the Orange Channel. And
[06:32:16] holy moly, there is so much content in
[06:32:22] this series and I would never have
[06:32:25] thought that the story for the Avarian
[06:32:27] show would be this deep. But it also
[06:32:30] just goes to show the amount of effort
[06:32:32] that has been put into this series is
[06:32:35] astounding and definitely deserves the
[06:32:38] attention because I think in my opinion
[06:32:41] this is up there as one of the greatest
[06:32:44] analog horror series. I will not be shy
[06:32:47] to say that. Genuinely I think this is
[06:32:50] such a good series and deserves all the
[06:32:52] support that it can get. Now what I'm
[06:32:54] going to try to do is sort of explain
[06:32:56] everything that has happened in this
[06:32:58] series. sort of also giving a timeline
[06:33:01] of events so that I we can better sort
[06:33:04] of understand the story because I know
[06:33:07] there's a lot of content and some of you
[06:33:09] guys may still be confused even now. So,
[06:33:12] I'm going to try and just recap
[06:33:14] everything in a sort of timeline. I'm
[06:33:16] going to try my best. So, we have the
[06:33:19] city of Zion. Zion is run by the Zion
[06:33:22] Initiative and it is its own sort of
[06:33:25] state or government in the country.
[06:33:28] During Zion's history, an institution
[06:33:31] known as variation tech would have been
[06:33:33] made and this is a sort of corporation
[06:33:36] or company that deals with tech science
[06:33:39] and stuff related to that field.
[06:33:41] Variation Tech was led by a man named
[06:33:44] Patrick Adams, who was appointed by
[06:33:48] Phoebe Nox, who I am theorizing is
[06:33:51] probably the name of someone who used to
[06:33:54] be the president or the head of Zion in
[06:33:57] back in the history of Zion itself. And
[06:33:59] so Patrick Adams and Zion would work
[06:34:01] together until Z Y 43 where one day
[06:34:07] Patrick Adams got stuck in a machine and
[06:34:11] died from a fatal accident.
[06:34:15] After Patrick's unfortunate departure, a
[06:34:19] man by the name of Adrien James Carter
[06:34:21] II would then become the head of this
[06:34:24] newly formed company called Variant Labs
[06:34:28] that replaces the old variation tech.
[06:34:32] Asian James Carter II comes from a
[06:34:35] family of law. But James Carter II would
[06:34:38] be someone who would deter from that
[06:34:40] path and instead be interested in the
[06:34:42] field of science. And that is the basis
[06:34:45] of what variant labs is. It is a
[06:34:47] corporation that is involved in
[06:34:48] innovation and science mostly related to
[06:34:52] biological sciences, bot chemistry work,
[06:34:56] stuff related to that. And so Agent
[06:34:59] James Carter II leads Variant Labs in a
[06:35:01] new era of science development. Then we
[06:35:04] fast forward to ZY47
[06:35:07] with the Jax Southwoods incident. I'm
[06:35:09] going to call it. There is basically a
[06:35:11] man named Jax Southwoods who with his
[06:35:14] friends runs the show The Southwoods
[06:35:17] Show where they go and explore abandoned
[06:35:19] places. For one of their possible
[06:35:22] episodes, they were going to go to North
[06:35:25] Zion, which is now a sort of at this
[06:35:29] time a quarantine zone and a dangerous
[06:35:32] place that no one is usually allowed to
[06:35:34] go towards. He was given the
[06:35:36] instructions to go here by someone
[06:35:39] called Carlo Cooper, who is the head of
[06:35:41] X7X, a radio show that runs through
[06:35:44] Zion's channels. The friends, learning
[06:35:47] that this is how they get here and that
[06:35:49] it's a dangerous place, decide to leave
[06:35:51] Jax southwards, making Jax himself have
[06:35:55] to go and explore by himself alone. He
[06:35:58] then enters the north Zion complex where
[06:36:01] he hears Madame Complex and goes through
[06:36:04] this sort of tunnel and then something
[06:36:08] happens to him which we still don't
[06:36:11] fully know. Jack Southwoods is sort of I
[06:36:15] guess taken but then later on is found
[06:36:19] to be the suspect of a homicide case
[06:36:21] where two people died. Officers Butch,
[06:36:25] Wilhelm, and Baron. I still don't know
[06:36:30] how to say his surname. Baron. We'll
[06:36:32] just say Baron. Butch and Baron along
[06:36:35] with a intern agent head out to catch
[06:36:38] the suspect. Doing so, they find weird
[06:36:41] notes talking about come forth Lazarus
[06:36:44] and the Thraw. And upon finding Jax, he
[06:36:48] is now much different than normal with
[06:36:51] his appearance sometimes looking
[06:36:54] creepier than a human being, weird skin
[06:36:57] textures and whatnot. And later on, we
[06:37:00] find that this may be possibly connected
[06:37:03] to stuff happening later in the timeline
[06:37:06] because in ZY50, we learn about certain
[06:37:09] disappearances taking place in the town
[06:37:12] of Oakwood in Western Zion. Two specific
[06:37:16] people that got taken are the daughters
[06:37:20] of a senator Moore called Ethel and
[06:37:24] Aurelia Moore. And then we later find
[06:37:26] out that they were experimented on by
[06:37:31] something and someone and which also may
[06:37:35] involve a certain creature which again
[06:37:39] if you listen to the sound of it sounds
[06:37:42] very similar to what happened when Jax
[06:37:44] was taken in North Zion. Of course, we
[06:37:47] then learn about other cases such as the
[06:37:49] Brandon case whereby Brandon was
[06:37:51] abducted one night, taken away, and then
[06:37:55] a week later found with animal features
[06:37:58] all over his body except his face. Now,
[06:38:02] this would have happened before
[06:38:05] the Moore sisters would have been found.
[06:38:07] So, somewhere around ZY50 as well. Why?
[06:38:10] Well, because of the fact that Sergeant
[06:38:11] Matthews is also at the scene when they
[06:38:14] find Aurelia and Ethel Moore and
[06:38:17] Sergeant Matthews also was in charge
[06:38:20] with Damian Bennett for finding Brendan
[06:38:23] Mars. And then we head over to Z Y51.
[06:38:28] Z Y51 is pretty much where everything
[06:38:31] takes place. Most of the stuff takes
[06:38:34] place in that year. That is the year
[06:38:37] that we learn about the possible start
[06:38:39] of a show known as the Avarian Show.
[06:38:43] This show is run by Mason Avarion along
[06:38:47] with other people such as Janine
[06:38:49] Caldwell and David who we still don't
[06:38:52] know the surname of but just David. In
[06:38:56] this show, certain guests are taken in
[06:38:59] that Mason picks from his followers list
[06:39:02] and brings them into the show to do
[06:39:04] photooots and just do general talk show
[06:39:08] etiquette. However, we learn that there
[06:39:11] is something mysterious about this show.
[06:39:14] For starters, we learn that this show is
[06:39:17] somehow taking place in the containment
[06:39:20] chamber of Variant Labs,
[06:39:24] the most highly hazardous and dangerous
[06:39:27] room in the facility. And the more
[06:39:30] episodes we see, we learn that something
[06:39:34] just weird is happening. right from how
[06:39:38] people get to the show to how they then
[06:39:40] exit the show and then all of the weird
[06:39:43] glitches and weird moments that happen
[06:39:45] in between. Even the scientists at
[06:39:48] Variat Labs don't know why this show is
[06:39:51] happening. We learn about that through
[06:39:53] the incident episode after Axton, a
[06:39:57] security guard, unintentionally finds
[06:40:00] himself in the Avarian show when trying
[06:40:02] to investigate the alarms that are
[06:40:04] sounding off from what should have been
[06:40:08] the containment chamber of variant labs.
[06:40:11] Some important incidents also happened
[06:40:13] involving this show. for example, how a
[06:40:16] certain guest known as Cammy was able to
[06:40:19] sort of escape.
[06:40:22] We still don't know what happened with
[06:40:24] Cammy because again before the door that
[06:40:27] she took to exit used to be called the
[06:40:29] dressing room but then changed into the
[06:40:31] exit. So we don't know what happens with
[06:40:32] her yet. But then we also have Arthur
[06:40:36] who is the first guest that we see in
[06:40:38] the show at the start of the series but
[06:40:41] isn't the first guest. He's actually the
[06:40:44] 13th guest in the series. Arthur goes
[06:40:48] down this huge rabbit hole where he
[06:40:50] finds himself in some sort of a liinal
[06:40:52] space and sort of the outside stage of
[06:40:55] the show where there is also this weird
[06:40:58] tentacle like monster involved in all of
[06:41:02] this. I have no idea what it is. I'm
[06:41:05] going to be honest with you guys. I
[06:41:07] don't know what this tentacle monster
[06:41:08] bit could be. But either way, Arthur
[06:41:11] gets chased by this thing and then he
[06:41:13] finds himself in a room where there's
[06:41:15] this massive pit and so he falls down
[06:41:18] this pit and that's sort of the setting
[06:41:20] for the rabbit hole episode. We also
[06:41:23] learn from this episode that everything
[06:41:26] that may be happening is all connected
[06:41:28] to Mason himself. And then we learn
[06:41:32] about a weird occurrence that happened,
[06:41:35] Mason's 25th birthday. And then finally
[06:41:41] in the recent episode of the show, we
[06:41:45] learn about Jadrien James Carter II
[06:41:49] rolling out to the public a pill that
[06:41:51] they have been working on called
[06:41:54] Avarion, the Avarion pill. This Avarian
[06:42:00] pill is sort of something to help with
[06:42:03] mental strains and dealing with stress
[06:42:06] in life. And as they say, it helps your
[06:42:10] brain.
[06:42:11] And pretty much that's all we know about
[06:42:13] it other than the fact that if you take
[06:42:15] too much, you're going to have some
[06:42:17] pretty bad side effects. And that's I
[06:42:22] guess pretty much it. Now, here come
[06:42:26] what I want to call the theories that I
[06:42:28] have for what's truly happening. Now, I
[06:42:31] haven't mentioned a lot about the
[06:42:33] birthday party incident, but I think it
[06:42:35] is very huge in the context of
[06:42:38] everything that's happening. Again, we
[06:42:40] get mentioned of Mason's birthday party,
[06:42:41] and we even see video footage of one
[06:42:44] point where this is taking place. The
[06:42:46] year of that is shown on the top left
[06:42:49] hand corner on the camera, but notice it
[06:42:53] doesn't say Z Y or anything else. It
[06:42:56] just says 24. So, the year 24. We then
[06:43:01] also have another instance where we may
[06:43:04] have been seeing a memory of Kid Mason,
[06:43:09] which has the year 11 on it. So, ever
[06:43:13] since Mason was young, I think something
[06:43:17] has been going on with him ever since he
[06:43:20] was a child, which then leads up to his
[06:43:23] 25th birthday in which something which I
[06:43:27] don't know happened, but something
[06:43:29] happened and boom, we get this show
[06:43:33] happening. We get the stuff happening at
[06:43:35] Variant Labs with the ovarian pill and
[06:43:37] possibly the containment chamber. We
[06:43:40] still don't fully know what's happening
[06:43:41] in the containment chamber. But my
[06:43:43] theory is that what if the containment
[06:43:46] chamber is where they would have
[06:43:48] produced the ovarian pill and through
[06:43:53] some random event the ovarian show is
[06:43:57] birthed from that. Again, we don't know
[06:44:00] if the Avarian pill or the Avarian show
[06:44:05] started first. We just know that they
[06:44:08] both happened at the year Z Y51. Mason's
[06:44:11] birthday party though is something
[06:44:14] again, it's just something that's hinted
[06:44:17] and and we even get small visuals
[06:44:19] sometimes of possibly memories from
[06:44:22] Mason's life. I wonder if this show
[06:44:26] that's happening is sort of a,
[06:44:30] how can I say this? a sort of escape
[06:44:34] that Mason has had from his life to
[06:44:37] pursue these goals. See, even I'm
[06:44:41] struggling to explain what I'm trying to
[06:44:44] think about because it's so complex, but
[06:44:47] there is a hidden story line that's
[06:44:48] happening with Mason's life and that
[06:44:51] some part of Mason's life is involved in
[06:44:54] why this is all happening. You've also
[06:44:56] got to remember that we've had hints of
[06:44:58] something called Project MXVR.
[06:45:01] Now, before I would have thought that
[06:45:02] MXVR relates to maybe Roman numerals or
[06:45:05] something, but now I think that project
[06:45:10] MXVR stands for words like Mason X
[06:45:17] variant.
[06:45:19] I I I don't know. I don't know. But I
[06:45:23] think whatever MXVR is, it is related to
[06:45:27] Mason himself, the show and then this
[06:45:31] pill that they have made. Which means I
[06:45:33] am really certain and sure that Adrien
[06:45:38] James Carter II just knows all the
[06:45:42] answers of what is happening. But then
[06:45:44] the real question is, does Mason himself
[06:45:49] know the truth of what he is doing and
[06:45:52] what is happening with this show? And
[06:45:56] then there's also the stuff about
[06:45:58] whatever happened to the Moore sisters,
[06:46:00] whatever's happening to people
[06:46:02] disappearing and then coming back
[06:46:04] changed or experimented on with animal
[06:46:07] limbs.
[06:46:08] I initially thought that Variant was
[06:46:10] doing this. However, I'm now not so sure
[06:46:15] because after the Jack Southwoods case,
[06:46:18] which we know happened in North Zion,
[06:46:22] Variant Labs, it's outside the borders
[06:46:25] of Zion, but it is located in South
[06:46:27] Zion. So, there's a discrepancy there
[06:46:29] with how Variant Labs would be involved.
[06:46:32] I think somewhere in the Zion initiative
[06:46:34] or somewhere in the Zion government,
[06:46:36] there is some secretive work going on
[06:46:40] with some sort of entity or creature
[06:46:43] which is taking people and doing weird
[06:46:47] experiments to them to sort of maybe
[06:46:50] cause an uprising or a certain overthrow
[06:46:55] of the current phase Zion government.
[06:47:00] It's a crazy thing to say, but after
[06:47:02] what we hear about Madam Complex and the
[06:47:04] propaganda that she was mentioning in
[06:47:06] that episode with, you know, the stuff
[06:47:10] related to Phoebe Knox's past, I think
[06:47:14] Zion may be in preparations for a
[06:47:17] possible upturning and uprising and that
[06:47:21] it may involve this entity creature,
[06:47:24] which now I don't think is similar to
[06:47:27] what happened with the Avarian and the
[06:47:30] tentacle monster, for example, that was
[06:47:31] chasing Arthur. I think those two things
[06:47:34] are actually two separate things now.
[06:47:36] But again, I think through all of this,
[06:47:40] the person who holds all of the keys to
[06:47:43] the universe of this story
[06:47:46] is Mason himself
[06:47:50] and possibly Adrien James Carter the
[06:47:52] second, but more so Mason. Even with all
[06:47:56] of the episodes that we have got, I
[06:47:58] think he is still such a mysterious
[06:48:00] character in all of this. And there are
[06:48:02] still so many questions that need
[06:48:06] answering about why Mason is involved in
[06:48:09] this. Why his life may be the key to
[06:48:13] understanding the truth of the question,
[06:48:18] what is the ovarian show?
[06:48:24] And with that, I'm out of ideas. Again,
[06:48:29] so much information, so much lore to
[06:48:32] discuss. And I think that's why this
[06:48:35] series is amazing. The direction in this
[06:48:38] is crazy. Like, would you ever expect to
[06:48:42] find a freaking musical number in an
[06:48:46] analog found footage horror series? No,
[06:48:50] I would not. But it is there. It's in
[06:48:55] the Orange Channel episode. And it's
[06:48:56] crazy the amount of art direction that
[06:48:58] goes into this. And I love the way they
[06:49:02] just do things and make things seem
[06:49:04] unique. And that is why I also just
[06:49:06] personally believe that this series
[06:49:07] deserves all the attention it can get
[06:49:10] and why this is definitely a standout in
[06:49:13] the analog horror genre. Now, before we
[06:49:16] end, I do want to mention one other
[06:49:18] thing. With the release of the orange
[06:49:20] channel episode, there is a link to a
[06:49:23] website. So, the Aarian show has its own
[06:49:27] ARG website which it talks a lot about
[06:49:31] variant labs and how it runs things.
[06:49:33] Variant communications and if you go to
[06:49:37] that website, you can actually learn
[06:49:38] more about the Avaron pill. Now, for my
[06:49:42] next video, I actually want to show you
[06:49:45] guys a deep dive of that website. So,
[06:49:50] the story to avariant show is not over
[06:49:52] yet. We still have a whole website to go
[06:49:56] over and I think that will be the next
[06:49:58] video that you guys will see from me
[06:50:00] related to this series. I will also be
[06:50:02] linking that in the description below if
[06:50:04] you guys want to deep dive into it for
[06:50:06] yourselves early on and see what's going
[06:50:09] on. the the website recently did come
[06:50:12] out, so it's an early access. And of
[06:50:15] course, it has been hinted that more
[06:50:17] updates will happen to the website as
[06:50:19] time goes by. So, if you guys want to
[06:50:21] check that out for now, do check it out.
[06:50:24] It is in the description below. But
[06:50:26] yeah, holy moly, this has already been
[06:50:29] such a long video. And I just want to
[06:50:32] thank anyone who has stuck around till
[06:50:35] the end to watch the entirety of my
[06:50:38] reaction to this series. Again, this is
[06:50:40] my first ever analog horror reaction. I
[06:50:43] never would have thought I'd do
[06:50:44] something like this, let alone I would
[06:50:46] never expect to find my voice in an
[06:50:50] analog horror series. I guess that's
[06:50:52] also one of the reasons why I reacted to
[06:50:54] it. But either way, I am so grateful to
[06:50:58] have seen this series. I think this is
[06:51:00] so cool what they have planned and of
[06:51:04] course the story does not end. I don't
[06:51:06] think it's anywhere close to being
[06:51:08] ended. So I would highly highly suggest
[06:51:12] again that you guys go and subscribe to
[06:51:15] the channel. The link all that for that
[06:51:17] will be in the description below as
[06:51:19] well. It deserves all the attention. I
[06:51:21] think the effort that has gone into this
[06:51:24] deserves a lot of pats on the back. From
[06:51:27] the team at the at the Avarian show to
[06:51:29] the creator of the Avarian Show, I think
[06:51:32] this is such a crazy insane analog
[06:51:37] horror that is so unique and sort of
[06:51:41] adds a new way in telling a story in the
[06:51:45] analog horror way. I will absolutely be
[06:51:50] making another video when more episodes
[06:51:52] for this series comes out because I am
[06:51:54] hooked and I hope you guys are also
[06:51:57] hooked just as me. To end off, I'd like
[06:52:00] to say thank you again to anyone who's
[06:52:02] come to the end. And if you did enjoy
[06:52:04] this longass video, then it would mean a
[06:52:08] ton for me if you liked and subscribed.
[06:52:10] Your support really helps me out. And
[06:52:12] also all of the footage that you would
[06:52:15] have seen today came directly from my
[06:52:17] live stream where I reacted to the
[06:52:19] series on stream over on Twitch. The
[06:52:22] link to my Twitch will be in the
[06:52:24] description below. I stream every day
[06:52:27] and I would love to have your guys's
[06:52:29] presence in my live stream. So if you
[06:52:31] want to go and follow me there, it would
[06:52:32] mean a lot. I'll also be linking all my
[06:52:35] socials in the description for you guys
[06:52:37] to check out if you're interested as
[06:52:39] well. But I think you guys are tired of
[06:52:42] hearing my voice for over 6 hours. So,
[06:52:44] I'm going to shut up and head out now.
[06:52:47] But again, it really means a lot if you
[06:52:49] made it till the end of this video. And
[06:52:51] I hope everyone has a great rest of
[06:52:54] their day. And with that,
[06:52:58] bye-bye.
