You can't even manage to keep your house in order. Why should you be trusted with oversight.

Does it matter. FA already stole your secrets. You might have plugged that leak, but "VerumInanis" is digging. Soon others will follow and uncover what you're hiding.

On **October 7, 2020**, Oakley said:

“Don’t allow the fragments of the Magician to be joined together. The Magician sees itself.”

“For now, please have any individuals concerned about Aeternus fill out the form at https://obscurum.space/contact.

I will keep on trying to gather intel about the current state of projects and will send out an update once I have a better idea of the state of things, and the resources available.”

On **October 12, 2020**, Oakley mentions the Tower:

“For Tower, I've come across some commands/inputs to the system from previous experiments. I've sent information on one of them to some allies, but any information you might come across about the most unstable points of the Tower and weaknesses so that we can shut down the system would help take it down. While the Tower itself isn't too bad, if Aeternus finds a way to climb the Tower, and then take the information to the actual ruins they're trying to break into, who knows what dangerous artifacts/relics they'll gain access to.”

On **November 15, 2020**, the Park Box drop occurred.

On **November 21, 2020**, Oakley sent *Starling* the following:

“I see Elliot's spelling and grammar haven't improved. The key is presumably EXPLORETHELIMITS. This probably is the key to an old Bifurcus black box that has been kept at a PLACEBOS warehouse. Unfortunately I won't be able to access it until early December, though as long as Alexander is kept in the dark about the discovery of the key to it, there shouldn't be any issue accessing it. Thank you for all the help. As for Elliot's ramblings, they relate to a secret central to PLACEBOS. Tell me what that secret is. While not all the pieces are out there, there are enough to discover what secrets lie in our hands. I find looking at /faces to be helpful.”

Players solved EBs Journal which says:

“I KILLED MY FRIEND THE ARK IS DANGEROUS THE PIECES MUST STAY LOST ALEX CAN'T BE TRUSTED THE EDGE OF INSANITY OAKLEY CAN MAKE DEFENSE BUT ALEX CAN MAKE A WEAPON ETERNAL SAFETY OR A FINAL DEADLY STRUGGLE THE END COMES SOON GOOO LUCK THOSE WHO REMAIN MAY FAILURE GUIDE YOU”

On **November 23, 2020**, when sent the message from the cards, Oakley wants to know if players know what the secret is.

On **December 6, 2020**, Oakley states in conversation with Alex:

O: How about you sign over control of a third of the Center to each of us. Though of course you won't do that… Too set in your high castle. Talking about lonely immortals."
