10.16.17 – A lot happens today. To start, Morgan calls Addison, seeming increasingly upset and confused about what’s going on

– – Andy calls Kortney and asks her to meet with him. Morgan asks Kortney to record the meeting, but A jumps in and deletes Morgan’s request. At the meeting, Andy gives Kortney a letter and asks her to send it. Morgan asks her to read it. Sarah Sinclair calls and asks Kortney to give her the letter. Someone impersonates Sarah to try to intercept the letter, but Kortney leaves a fake letter and is able to hand over the real one to Sarah, who tears it to pieces. Kortney had, however, mailed her own copy of the letter, and also kept a picture for herself. She shares that Andy was shaken by some photos of him that had been sent to his father, and wanted his father to know that those photos didn’t represent who he was. This is all broken down HERE and HERE.

– Meanwhile, Morgan and Addison have a falling-out. After apparently leaving BOS to join Sabrina, Addison had secretly contacted Morgan to let him know he intended to be a double agent on the inside. However, on this date, Sabrina calls Morgan and tells him that Addison was actually a TRIPLE agent, and had been feeding her information. Morgan cut ties with Addison, who claims that Sabrina was lying. Sabrina calls Addison and says this was her paying him back for being a double agent: she fed Morgan a story so he would cut ties with Addison too. “Enjoy not having a home.”

– Morgan calls Meghan and tells her that he is no longer sure what was IG, OOG, or game-jacking. But he has heard and seen fucked up and disgusting things.

– Morgan and Meghan Periscope themselves toasting triumphantly, and thank Kortney for helping BOS. Later, in Slack, Morgan suggests that she was helpful because she led them to Sarah.

– On the Lust Experience FB, a video is uploaded of Mason, Joyce, Michelle, Morgan, and Noah, all reciting dialogue from Noah’s “The System” videos. Speculation on what this all means begins. Beneath the video, which is titled PART 1, Morgan posts that there’s more to come, and posts a zip code to be in at 4pm.

– Meanwhile, Chelsea and Brad encounter apparent OSDM activity at Disneyland.

– At 4pm, Morgan posts a video on his personal FB with instructions on where to meet him.

– Those who meet Morgan are given a video to upload. In the video, Noah explains that he and Mason have been “buds” for years. He, Mason, Morgan, Joyce, and Michelle have been creating a narrative that will help us self-actualize, as only if we know ourselves can we face the OSDM.

– With that, Chapter Six ends.

## Intermission

12.4.17 – The Midnight Commission sends out an email indicating that they’ve intercepted the guest list and telling all guests to bring masquerade masks. They warn that the OSDM will not give real answers as to their identity. Noah visits Slack to confirm that everyone should bring a mask. (Later, a second email re-emphasizes the mask and mentions that some haven’t received their emails.)

– Cristen receives an alarming call from Stephanie, indicating that she’s been losing time. She then receives a follow-up call an unknown man.

12.7.17, 12.8.17 – Calls go out referencing an “off-site” MSE event HERE and HERE and HERE. After mentioning the off-site event, Stephanie seems to become increasingly unstable.

12.12.17 – Noah gives My Haunt Life a rare interview

– Sabrina accidentally forwards an email meant for Tim Granik to Tim Redman. The email reveals that she has been tracking Noah Sinclair’s phone activity, including texts in which Noah asks Mason to be a “host” at the MSE.

– Tim Granik sends Tim Redman a cease-and-desist letter and orders him to remove the email chain. He cc’s Cecilia Sinclair. Tim Redman complies, but shoots Cecilia an email, receiving an icy rejection.

12.14.17-12.17.17 – The Midseason Event. At the event, Morgan tells participants that he is rerouting them to the REAL, non-theatrical OSDM event, and asks for their help in gathering information on what’s happening inside. Inside the event itself, participants glimpse various familiar faces, including the iConfidant hostess, and several “OOA members” from Ascension who had last been seen “slaughtered” at The End. They also meet Cecilia Sinclair, Noah’s mother. The night culminates in “the Honoring,” in which two participants are urged to copulate in the hopes that they will conceive a child who will be Anoch made flesh. However, Noah interrupts the ceremony and sends everyone home.

12.17.17 – On the last night of the Midseason Event, things go a bit differently. Return attendees are shown a ritual in which a barely-coherent Stephanie is about to be ritually raped, while onlookers chant about Anoch’s coming. BOS barges in and interrupts the event, and Mason sides with them, to Cecilia’s apparent fury. But Sabrina announces that it’s fine, because “one took”. She’s pregnant. BOS leaves in shock, the future uncertain.

– Part One Concludes…

## Part 2

After some sporadic appearances from A on Slack, and a Facebook announcement with the date “2.14.18,” the first activity of the year begins.

1.29.18 – Cecilia tries to review an interview from the Creators before it can be published. When the interview is published, it appears to contain hints that DLB and CS may have been sending out subtle distress signals or otherwise attempting to get our attention, while on the surface cooperating with their higher-ups.

2.1.18 – Discussion of the skull and crossbones seal found on Tension and Lust communications leads to an anonymous source leaking first an image of the OOA seal, then images of a torn-up letter from “D” to “C”. The letter indicates that D and C want to “tear it down” but must pretend to cooperate in public.

2.9.18 – While interviewing Clint and Darren, participant Kristin hears Darren put her on hold to take a quick call. After the interview, Morgan calls her and plays her a recording of the call: it’s a man who has been listening to the interview and warns Darren to stop going off-script.

2.13.18 – Kristin releases the interview, in which Darren hints at coming changes.

2.14.18 – The Instagram puzzle that has been posted in segments is completed. The completed puzzle depicts a phone number, which when called yields a recording with further instructions.

2.15.18 – Those who followed the previous day’s instructions receive emails from “OSDM Outreach,” directing them to pick up items and messages at sites around Los Angeles. The messages, when collected, appear to suggest that Horace is dead, that Noah has risen to take his place, that Sabrina’s pregnancy is very real, and that the Lust “project” is in the middle of some sort of reboot.

2.16.18 – Morgan sends the BOS an email indicating that he’s still active and that BOS will soon be more than just a few initials. He also indicates that there is a mole. Later that day, A pops onto Slack. He is noticeably more chatty than usual. He leaves a document for us to parse, explaining the messages that were intercepted the day before. The document contains hand-written notes, which translate to a phone number. When the number is called, Morgan picks up, answers all callers’ questions, and reveals that he has taken over the Lust Facebook, Instagram, and Slack, and was earlier posting as A. Once everyone has gotten a chance to call, he posts a video on Facebook and Instagram.

2.19.18 – Morgan posts a code on The Midnight Commission Slack. Solving it reveals a chain of puzzles, ultimately leading to a new website (http://resistancerises.com) with instructions for BOS members to expose the OSDM over social media. He also calls several people on the fence.

2.20.18 – Morgan releases a new video, with sped-up sound. Slowing it down reveals a poem addressing several issues unfolding on Slack.

2.21.18 – Morgan is confronted by someone named “L” on Slack, who threatens him. Morgan seems shaken but agrees to a meeting. He then disappears for a few hours.

2.23.18 – A new video goes up. A user on Slack claims to be an old friend of Morgan’s looking to get in touch. A offers to answer a question chosen by group vote, and discusses the history of the Creators, the “sigil,” and more. UnseenPresence and Candace receive robotic calls asking them to make a choice. Others receive calls with heavy breathing and gong noises. Sarah receives a call from a woman who says “We’re taking it back.” A’s responses abruptly appear to be scrambled with those of other users – SammySam and Morgan.

2.24.18 – A answers more questions, this time about the history of the BOS and the nature of the Red Room. Candace and UnseenPresence receive follow-up calls from the robotic voice, and more calls go out with sounds of whispering, tapping, etc. After A suggests that Lia hasn’t disclosed the whole truth, Lia recounts her Red Room experience in more detail.

2.25.18 – A continues to hint that Lia is not sharing all that she knows, while Lia appears to be in distress.

2.26.18 – A answers kingkill33’s question about why she joined BOS and why she believes 111error was the right person to lead it. Someone who sounds like Noah calls Cristen: “We’re waiting.” A Facebook Live video shows Morgan near an office building, burning Lia’s NDA. He tells Lia that it’s safe for her to talk, but on Slack Cristen reports that Lia still can’t talk and is now “burned”.

2.27.18 – A urges participants to withhold judgment and says that Morgan had his reasons for exposing Lia. Later that night, Morgan calls maenicole, hints at a complicated and formerly warm relationship with Lia, and sends her an email chain between Investors (?) disclosing that Lia has been a plant since 2016 but has, in their mind, outlived her usefulness.

2.28.18 – Chris, Lia’s husband, appears on Slack to tell his story. A shares her story, but deletes it, seeming conflicted about her role. Morgan suspects DLB of lying, an accusation which is then deleted from Slack. A tells us that there are more like Lia, embedded in the community, who have participated “since the beginning,” who have attended “retreats”. B arrives, upset that A is sharing too much, and shuts the conversation down.

3.1.18 – Addison creates a Google document; someone (possibly multiple people) posts quotes about Noah, pictures of participants that have been modified with Photoshopped smiles, and inserts “Ks” into words such as “Clint,” “kill,” and “overlook”, capitalizing the word HELP. A and Morgan encourage us to ignore the distraction. User Michelle receives two phone calls – one asking if she trusts Cristen, one saying “She lies”. Later, the chosen five meet with Morgan, who tells them a story before having them speak with Lia. Lia describes seeing Noah kill Horace at Clint’s command, while DLB appeared to have a very callous reaction.

3.2.18 – A has a strange reaction to some civil participant conversation, then disappears, to Morgan’s dismay.

3.3.18 – The Lust website goes down.

3.5.18 – Participant Kyle arranges to meet with Molly’s handler. (A few days later, the specific date is set.)

3.7.18 – The Lust website goes back up.

3.8.18 – Lia resurfaces on Slack under a new username. Later, Darren appears on Slack to refute her claims. Morgan reveals that there is a third entity at play, not BOS or OSDM/The Order. He asks A to speak with him, using a verification code; A appears, but sends an SOS code. A appears to be captured.

3.9.18 – After telling Kristin not to pay attention to Lia’s story, as it’s “not important to the plot,” Darren sends some belittling texts to her, claiming that Morgan and Lia are out of control and that the community is eating itself.

3.12.18 – As the community resolves not to lose itself in conflict, Morgan invites all to “drinks on BOS”. At the bar, he complains to Chelsea about Darren and Clint, and how little they’ve appreciated Phase 3 – then later appears to claim his complaints were OOG. Meanwhile, Noah calls Brad to arrange a meeting.

3.13.18 – Darren tells Chelsea that Morgan is being vindictive and to stop talking about his claims. Cristen creates an Instagram account to communicate with mysterious “JP”. Morgan and JP clash on Instagram. Someone uses the A account to begin banning participants, starting with Cristen. Morgan leaves Slack. Blondie uses a code from Morgan to ban A and reinstate banned accounts.

3.14.18 – Kyle meets with a Clockmaker named Irene, who discusses manipulation as magic. Blondie is given a code to elicit answers from C. Meghan is given a code by a voice that sounds like Morgan, but Morgan denies having given it to her. Kristin is offered a peek behind the curtain if she posts a code, but when she does, the account (TheCreators) that offered it to her disappears. Larry and UnseenPresence receive calls. Someone calls Lauren (me) to make us aware that they know about BOS’s private chat. JP arranges a meeting with Cristen.

3.16.18 – Meghan and Brad are called on to participate in a ritual with DLB and Gordon. C tells us to look back to early days, back when Morgan was a participant.

3.17.18 – Morgan posts a video on Facebook announcing his departure from the Experiences. The video is later deleted.

3.19.18 – JP leaves a dead drop – a postcard and a video. The video shows the unabridged version of Morgan’s video, which reveals that Morgan has been helmeted since May 2016.
