Mariah Camrey

**Mariah Camrey** was one of the scientists at Laramie Online who worked on the BIGPRISM computer. She is a prominent character in the ongoing ARG. According to the HTML page written by Followers of Merkabah found in the BIGPRISM files, Laramie Online attempted to murder her by "disconnecting her from BIGPRISM without following protocol". The Followers of Merkabah also claim to have transported her body from Laramie Online, explaining that "through the Prism's grace, we all know that Mariah's consciousness is still Alive and Well". They are holding her body in "hopes that she one day Returns[sic] to [them] from inside [their] new system, ONEPRISM" and that "Until then, her trapped consciousness will Reveal[sic] the secrets of the universe".

Prior to the discovery of the archived BIGPRISM files, the only available information about Mariah was from the books discovered in the Laramie Online Office. The EMPLOYEES book signed by BIGPRISM writes her sex as "no" and notes that she is terminated. One of the books was signed by her, and describes her asking Darryl for the new password to BIGPRISM, adding that "the firmware is ancient and needs an update".

## Connection to the ARG

Mariah is assumed to be the grandmother of Warden, based on a transcript also found in the files written in Hexadecimal and then translated with FUGUESTATE through a Vignere cipher. The transcript is written by Warden about not leaving without his grandmother:

* *Something really big is coming. We're on a complete breakdown of the system. Sheridan is not safe and the incident with Laramie Online is way more serious than I thought. This octangula business is the tip of the iceberg of something way more serious than anybody could have ever imagined. You need to get out while you still can. I can't leave without my grandma. I don't know what's going to happen to her.*
* *I legitimately think the world is ending. Between the civil war and what's going on at the clinic, all I feel is a horrible dread that something worse is coming. Stay safe and try to get as far away from here as possible. I love you.*
* *Warden*

Based on this information, Warden appears to have also written these messages that were found in the element inspector of the HTML page detailing more about Mariah's current state:

* *yea haha those things used to always scare the sh\*t out of me*
* *Due to post-balkanization measures from local governments, we can not discuss more right now*
* *An emergency broadcast warning just went off and scared the shit out of me. more border ruffians are coming to Laramie and im sitting here playing Minecraft in my undies*
* *We can not reveal too much about Mariah's journey, but she is not in pain at least*
* *Things have been very hard for us after the union fell*
* *Laramie has very poor internet services and only two escalators in the entire state*
* *is she dead?*
* *how do you even afford any of this?*
* *it's just her body, she doesn't do much but sit there all day. I don't even think she breathes*
* *I feel a FUGUESTATE coming on...*
* *ONEPRISM was originally a dedicated server used for Minecraft lololol we are renting it out to pay for electricity expenses*
* *What's BIGPRISM?*
* *If you insist dude*
* *Throttling is far from the worst thing Laramie Online has done...*
* *Considering ONEPRISM runs on Java and is poorly optimized for computative astral projection, i would say NO. haha*
* *I haven't seen good weather in years actually lolol*
* *is she capable of talking? eating?*
* *most of our equipment is stolen from laramie online lolol*
* *i dunno man, i just want my grandma back*
* *These days it's hard to find friends....*
* *No secrets Here... It's Hard to keep up during the Turbulent times we live in lmfao.*
* *do you really believe in any of this octagram holo-octangula shit?*
* *im from wheatland actually my family was displaced after the war*
* *i'm moving to cascadia lol*

According to the Followers of Merkabah, she made an official announcement, saying "We Live In A Stellated Octahedron!", and formulating The Holographic Octahedron Unified Field Theory

An image titled LOST.jpg was also found in the BIGPRISM files, and is present on the HTML page. The image was confirmed to picture Mariah sitting in an Octangula, based on a meme posted by InkTea and retweeted by the official SMPEarth twitter account.

Also according to the followers, she likes the song Black Rainbows by Miracle Musical.
