## About

Tim was recruited by Aeternus back in August 2020. He came to us asking for help figuring things out.

His name is an anagram for "immortal".

He is immortal, seeming to be stuck in some sort of time loop. Whenever he dies, he respawns at a coffee shop, most likely a Dunkin' Donuts, and tweets from his account:

> Another day, another ∞ dollars sent to the coffee industry!
>
> - Tim Malor, (@TMalor90)

Per information from Spire/Spier, obtained on 17 March 2021:

> The Immortal is apparently some sort of anomaly that was discovered and has been monitored, theorized to be functionally immortal, though it was only recently that the extent of the immortality has been discovered.
>
> - Spire

Tim is the son of Taskforce Earth.

His face seems to be one of the generations from thispersondoesnotexist.

## Deaths

Tim is an immortal, but he can still be killed. Every time he dies, he simply respawns at a coffee shop, likely in the Boston, MA area, and most likely a Dunkin' Donuts.

It is unknown if he fully understands the mechanics of his own immortality, as he is extremely hesitant to discuss this.

Every time Tim dies, a rift in reality is formed. It is possible that other organisations know about this, and see his deaths as a way into the Nexus.

## Relationships

### Cal T. Devali

Cal wants to harness Tim's power, and likely become immortal himself. If he has consistent access to Tim, his goal is to kill him over and over while he runs experiments.

## Timeline/Puzzles

Our first contact with Tim Malor.

Tim posted a fleet on his Twitter account:

Something dark lies in the SHADOWOFAETERNUS

Which turned out to be a Record ID

This marked our first contact with Tim Malor. A later update lead to the Recovery Sorted puzzle, and subsequent drop.

### Recovery Sorted (solved)

The Record ID page SHADOWOFAETERNUS was updated by Tim Malor.

The Record ID we were given in First Contact was updated.

With the following images included under the 'text' portion:Recovery Sorted #93Recovery Sorted #84Recovery Sorted #64Recovery Sorted #62Recovery Sorted #59Recovery Sorted #58Recovery Sorted #53Recovery Sorted #41Recovery Sorted #31Recovery Sorted #26Recovery Sorted #23

All of which lead to a drop, which was recovered by our Boston Asset. A business card inside a plastic ziploc bag was retrieved, as pictured in image ID 64. If you look carefully at the image, you can see the hidden package.Drop recovery from Recovery Sorted puzzle.
Image shows a grey business card with the address for the Aeternus Centre PO box. . Handwriten on the card is the name Tim Malor, with an email address TMalor90 [at] gmail [dot] com.

This gave us a new email address from Tim Malor.

#### Solution

Our team found the drop without solving the puzzle.

Tim Malor sent us a message reading:

> I see you've been following my wandering.
>
>
> To make sure you haven't gotten her by accident, can you provide the answer to the question in the latest message.
>
>
> I hope this will be a safe channel to communicate.
>
>
>
> What I found on Block Island tells a disturbing story.
>
> - Tim Malor

The message he was referring to was

> Name of the relevant constant store
>
>

Tim had posted the images contained in the Record via Fleets. When we compared the filenames from the record to the order he posted them on Twitter, we found this:

Placing the images in this order reveals the constant Pi, 3.1415926...

Which lead us to a pie shop called Petsi Pies in Somerville, MA.

Solving this puzzle and subsequent dead drop gave us an email address on which to contact Tim Malor, who then became a major character.

Following this, we got the PILGRIM task from Tim.

### Pilgrim

After the Recovery Sorted puzzle, we received this email from Tim.

## Notable Conversations

### 15 April 2021

Conversation between Starling and Tim via Twitter DMs

> **Starling**THATS NOT WHAT I LEFT YOU. I left a receipt note. Tim omg someone knows the drop spot**Tim**Don't know whether the drop point is compromised or this communication medium is compromised and you're not really you… <attached image>**Image reads:**Tim,
> Had some good Dunkin' Donuts recently. Other communication methods aren't safe, they know your code. We got info that the bx stolen from you is being moved, but will be left unguarded for a bit, you should go to AC Site B17 as soon as possible and grab it. It should be unguarded, but you'll need to move quickly.

> Be safe,

> TE**Starling**Okay, I put a receipt from the dunkin donuts at 154 highland, with the note, they know about the coffee code**Tim**Plus the real Taskforce said they were confident the drop point was safe…**Starling**It's been intercepted tim. It's not safe anymore. Please I promise you. This is Starling and I was trying to warn you but I did not leave the message you found right there**Tim**Fine, can you prove you're Starling and not some imposter? What's my middle name?**Starling**I don't know your middle name. You've always been Tim Malor to me???**Tim**Good, if you were an imposter from Aeternus, you'd just look it up. Three more questions to be sure.
>
> What's my typical coffee order?**Starling**Okay.
> Cold brew from Dunkin.**Tim**What's a secret we both know about someone who's a Professor in Pokemon?**Starling**They're alive**Tim**Finally, what's the worst nickname Taskforce Earth has come up for me?**Starling**Oh geez, do I have to pick one?
>
> I don't remember if it's been used on you yet but Ebony Dark'ness DemenTim Raven Way really makes me cringe. But Timichanga is up there too**Tim**...
> ...
> ...**Starling**I am so fckn sorry, Tim**Tim**Okay, I guess I believe you're actually Starling.**Starling**Please don't believe that fucking note. That was so not me**Tim**Though I guess at some point we should find another dead drop that hasn't been compromised and probably setup some secret codeword to use instead of a bunch of questions.**Starling**Yeah, for certain. There's a couple areas that we can use.**Tim**So which part should be unbelieved, that communication methods are still safe?
>
> Hopefully the site in the note is still left unguarded and they haven't upped the guard since they intercepted your note.**Starling**Okay, so the Dunkin code you were using for Chicago was intercepted and interpretted.
>
> And I have NO CLUE WHAT THAT AC site B17 is. I wouldn't send you to something without knowing it.
>
> None of us would
>
> Tim it's a plant. A trap**Tim**Oh that's also made up?
>
> Ohhhhh.**Starling**Starling: The only thing I was originally communicating to you was the coffee code had been intercepted. Cal tricked us and had us decipher it.
>
> I'm pretty sure that's Cal trying to get ahold of you again. Or something.**Tim**Oh.
>
> Did you end up telling Cal about the box that got stolen? Curious if he actually tracked it down or is just lying about having it too.**Starling**Starling: No? I didn't know anything about a stolen box. Unless it was placed at the Rookery Building Lobby? Then he got it.
>
> Both puzzles he gave us involved Chicago.
>
> And the only stolen box I recall we ended up heisting back**Tim**I thought there was another box that got stolen, but maybe I'm misremembering. You're probably right.**Starling**Starling: OH FUCK
>
> Wait the Morphic one
>
> The one that got you injured and it broke your phone
>
> I still feel like it's a huge af trap**Tim**Lets move to the TE system if comms aren't actually compromised.

At which point, conversations resumed on the Parley discord.
