He than made his own portal, tried to activate the portal by placing a sign that says, "Pls light lord", after that didn't work he placed lava in it and sacrificed a iron nugget, a gold ingot, and a gold axe. He than placed a manga block, and than finally used the flint and steel which activated the portal.

After some time, Lotad started hearing the portal calling for him, netherack, mango blocks, and lava have also started to spread from the portal. Once he enters the portal, he gets some quarts and explores the nether and than leaves. He vows to come back to the Nether when he is ready.

He than suddenly finds/mines Ancient Debris and claims it feels cold and that it won't burn. He thinks that it could be a dragon egg from ancient documents that also had described another world, but those had described the land as yellow which Lotad had chalk it up to the natives being color blind, Lotad than decides to leave the Nether.

While leaving, Lotad explains that deaths work in the series by, each player has infinite canon lives until they don't. Every death is canon, but only one is canon enough to take them out of the series or rather section.

It than cuts to Lotad being in Landon's house as he discovers Landon's Journal, while reading it, he finds out that Landon also went to the Nether. He states that he read the book was only for scientific curiosity, and is surprised that a farmer like Landon is able to read. He than enchants a bit.

Lotad than meets with Z and asks them what do they know about him, Z responds with "Your name is Lotad and you know Queen". Lotad than writes down the information in his SACr Journal and looks around Z's stuff while asking them more questions. Lotad found out that Queen told them about his and Queen's secret meeting.

He than updates the viewers on his laboratory, and says that he needs to come up with a solution about the Nether infection. He also shows that he's been getting better gear off camera, and explains that he is writing the SACr Journal as his personal reference for everyone he meets and the information they give him, and explains that Queen made a deal with him that he won't talk to anyone about her, but she broke her end of her promise, so he's going tell her about it soon. He than reads the pages of the journal.

Lotad is back in his base as Z comes to visit his lab, they explain that they have information to trade for him. They tell him that in the Acacia biome, near the hill, there is a mercenary, that will do almost anything for money. Z than asks why he was following them from the woods to their house, Lotad explains that he just likes to observe where things are to know what people are doing, they asks to what they do which Lotad tells that they do whatever they want like building, wandering, or talking. Z than asks why he never found their house, which Lotad responds that he likes to stay a certain distance to his base just in case something comes up.

Lotad than goes to the Acacia biome to meet with the mercenary. Lotad asks if he has seen the Nether Portal, which he responds with no. Lotad tells the mercenary that he would be the perfect person to investigate the Nether, and takes him to the portal. He explains a bit about the Nether, and gives him 32 ingots of gold as a way to barter with the pigs, and 32 ingots of iron as payments, and tell him that if he does a good job, he may even throw in some more things.

Lotad tells Landon that he knows he entered the Nether, and asks him to describe what he saw, Landon said that the Nether was very hot, that he was chased by a big pig, and he tried to sleep to get rid of the pig, but the bed exploded. He than asks Landon if he could accompany him to do an experiment, which he agrees, Lotad tells him on the way that after Landon left, the Nether terrain started to spread more around the portal.

Landon meets with Lotad and tells him that he would like to take the offer. Lotad shows him a testing tube that has a piece of Ancient Debris, Lotad tells him that out of everything in the Nether, it felt cold. Landon than says that it feels hot, which Lotad finds it odd, Lotad than says that it felt like it would react to gold and diamond.

They put it in the furnace which melts into Netherite Scrap, Landon than goes to get more Ancient Debris.

(Back to Lotad)

(Also takes place in Landon's Episode 5: STUFF HAPPENED)

Landon gives Lotad the Ancient Debris, Lotad than says that he read that you would have to use a smiting table in order to combine a pickaxe with Netherite, but he can't put it in, Landon than tries and manages to turn his diamond axe into a netherite axe. They notice that the netherite axe is much more powerful than a diamond axe. Lotad asks Landon if he feels alright, and Lotad says that he feels fine. Landon asks if he should make armor to try it on and Lotad asks him to hit him to test out the axe's power, which it did 2 hearts of damage on a iron helmet, iron chestplate, diamond leggings, and diamond boots. Landon go gets diamonds to make new armor.

Lotad explains that he knows that Queen came from somewhere and doesn't want anyone to know about her, her name is Queen, and overall he looked at the people who disappeared and knows that Queen is well educated. She asks who else knows and he replies that its only him and that he has agreed to keep his word with his agreement which she did not after telling Z.

Lotad agrees with her about telling no one where she lives, when asked why, he tells her that because he is a higherup in a different country, and because Queen's country is leaderless, his country is profiting off of it and it profits him to keep her alive. If her country gets an weaker leader, he could keep keep her hidden but if they get a stronger leader, he would reveal and be rewarded.

He proposes another deal, that she could give her rights to her country to him, that unlike her, he couldn't easily be intimated and that her country will do well off with him in charge. That he can lead her country into an alliance with his which will make them both strong. Also, if he is maintaining the country, he wouldn't have time to focus on the Nether.

Queen asks why the Nether portal is spreading, which he replies that they are looking into it. He than asks why does she call herself Queen when she is hiding and she replies that she is used to people calling her that, Lotad tells her that its similar in his country, that you have to earn a name. She asks him his name, which Lotad doesn't answer.

She asks him if he is blacking mailing her, which he denies, and tells her that it depends on what happens on if they have a good or bad leader, but if she goes with him, they could make it so she appears dead, and that if they think that their Queen is dead, she could live as a normal person. He asks her to think about it.

Z asks Lotad, what does it mean to be human, which he replies with "Being human is about striving to follow one's own goals, trying to achieve that, but its kind of different for everyone. Like depending on how you are going to screech it, couldn't everyone be a human". That by his definition, everyone could be human and that Z would be considered human.

They than go to the mysterious base at the island, and look around, they find out that they are rich and has a lot of lava. Lotad asks Z if the person wears diamond armor, which they reply with no, that's its Netherite. Lotad quickly concludes that the mysterious person is Landon.

### Episode 7: Meeting Landon and a Broken Machine

**Lore**

(Watch Landon's Episode 14: The Voice for context, this also takes place in Landon's Episode 15: Catching Up)

Landon tries to hide from Lotad but is futile as he was easily able to find him, the former is glad to see that he is alright. Landon asks Lotad why he tried to lock him in a cage which Lotad tries to dismiss the severity of the issue and is confused on why he left. Lotad tells him that he didn't take his payment and that he overacted due to Landon acting strange. Landon than tells him that he moved from his farm because he thought Lotad would come after him which Lotad explains to him that he would have just checked in a couple days to see how he is and was surprised that he escaped in a short amount of time.

When they reach the farm they look around to see what has changed, after that they head back, Lotad asks if he is still willing to do Nether experiments with him to which Landon agrees he will if Lotad doesn't overreact again. Lotad than pays Landon for the earlier experiments and shows him something he found out using the Netherite, which created a Loadstone Compass, which attracts the Compasses' needle it instead of world spawn.

Lotad tells Landon that he did some inhumane experiments on some villagers and discovered some stuff which he wrote five books about them, but couldn't find it. He explains that the third book explains why he couldn't wear the Netherite because it doesn't work with people who knows what they want to do/villigers that have maxed out trades (which they would feel cold while wearing it), but works for those with beginner trades (which they would fell warm wearing it).

Lotad theorizes that he can wear it if he does something to himself but hasn't been able to do it yet. Landon asks about the thing on the wall, which Lotad answers that its probably a puzzle someone put on it, they try to solve it by using the compass but have no luck. They than test out the power of the Netherite gear vs Diamond gear. Lotad asks Landon how far his base is, which Landon says his base is close to Z's and its the island after Lotad guesses it correctly. Landon than says he has to go, and heads into the portal.

Lotad heads back into his base, and tells himself that he got a tipoff from Red that Landon was coming and had a contingency plan in case he attacks him. He than explains that he was updating his SACR Book, but felt interrupted by feeling Red somehow and that he had a dream again, but doesn't remember what happened this time. He thinks that his control is slipping, and wants to find something powerful that would help him control and wonders if it is connected to the puzzle on his wall. He finds a book with another page but gets confused with its contents.

(There is a puzzle on this page, if you take every capital letter it would spell out a sentence,

HOWLONGUNTILIAMREUNITED = How Long Until I Am Reunited).

He heads outside and decides to go to Mushroom Kingdom, but while going he encounters a damaged Z. He asked who did this to them, which they reply with Queen, Lotad takes Z back with him to the Lab to be fixed.

At the end of the video there is a message,

"Even the best machine in the world can only be broken and repaired so many times.

It is what we do with technology and how we treat it that shows how we are.

Is Z truly just a machine?

Is the only issue a broken screen?"

**End Lore**

### Episode 11: Who's Queen?

**Lore**

The video starts off with Red being very upset with Queen, he decides to remove her from the world by writing her name into a book and than throwing it and a dandelion into a fire, stating, "It would be almost like they were never here".

The scene than shifts to Lotad waking up from his room in his laboratory, he shows off the progress he made. He says he had this dream that involved something with the letter Q, but he can't remember them/seeing the girl from his dream. He decides to check his SACR Book to see if he ever met someone like that, but finds out that there is some missing information and symbols scattered around the book. (See SACr Pages after Episode 11 for context on "SACR Book" page) He decides to go over to Mushroom Kingdom and ask Z if they know anything about this.

During a black screen IRL Lotad tells us that a couple things in the scene got messed up, but he decided not to redue it. There is also a sentince that states, "Check comments of The Discovery", doing so will show you a pinned comment that has a link to a video called, "Of Red and Lotad".

Lotad meets with Z and gives them some mushrooms and asks them if they know who they were interreacting them, as Z was also referenced. Z states that the friends they have is him, Landon, and the Enderman. He tries stating that this person broke their screen, but Z isn't able to remember how it broke. Z does tell him that they have seen the symbols before in their own book.

The scene than shifts to Red meeting up with Z, Red asks them if the name Queen ring a bell, which Z says no. After that Red leaves and says he will see them soon.
