      Exactly! I’m worried about him. 😥
      But, the last time we heard from him, he was trying to hack one of the computers, so maybe he’s just found a way to make the system ignore him and not spy on him. Or he’s just really good at avoiding cameras and recording equipment now. 😅

      I really doubt he’s been gone at all. He seems extremely obsessed with his work and Celia saw him hanging around during that time. I think he’s actually been shut in inside the building the entire time, tinkering with the system and avoiding people as much as possible. It’s not that he’s been home for weeks, he never went home. That’s what I think, anyway.

    @TheNitpickChick 4 місяці тому +164

    HOO BOY! Another episode that sends my theorizing brain into _overdrive!_ 🤩
    1. Celia is still sleepwalking, or sleep teleporting or something. And this time she wakes up _on train tracks_ with a train heading towards her! Holy shit, girl! Whatever is happening to you, I really hope you get help for it, because _yikes!_ 😬 (I have several theories forming about her “sleepwalking”, especially after this episode, but none have fully solidified yet.)
    2. Celia tells Sam that she was in Oxford. If that’s true, that’s quite far away, which is why I suspect that Celia isn’t simply sleepwalking. Either she’s teleporting somehow, or maybe another consciousness takes over her body from time to time, and fully uses transportation of some kind. 🤔
    3. Another statement directly from The Magnus Institute! At the “Oxford Outreach Center”?!! About doppelgängers and alternate dimensions?!!! The details in this statement have me asking _several questions!_
    - Is this branch called the “Outreach Center” because it’s near the rift, and it “reaches out” to other dimensions? Or to people who come through from other dimensions?
    - What is the Welling Mutare Materia research program?! And why does it involve incarceration?!
    - What made Darrien cross over?! Was it the therapist? The meditation? Everything described about this Dr. Dumfries seems suspicious as hell, so I’m guessing it’s something to do with him… or maybe it’s because (possibly) people fitting the description of Jon and Martin were also in the waiting room?!
    - What the hell happened to Darrien during the transfer to emaciate his body to such a degree?! Holy shit, dude! Either dimensional travel is not instantaneous, and it actually takes an exceptionally long time but holds your body in stasis or something, or it’s just a particularly rough crossing somehow. 😬
    4. Celia talking to FR3-D1 is kinda cute. Although the phrase “Not exactly the same, is it?” has me _thinking._ So, I assume Celia didn’t kill the version of herself from this dimension, but I have a feeling there’s a reason there’s not two of her running around… Is that why she has a son now? The baby is actually from the version of herself from this dimension?! CELIA! I need more information! Tell me your story!!!
    5. COLIN GETS MENTIONED!!! Sure, it’s just to say that no one but Celia has seen him around lately, but at least he’s been mentioned!!! I’m so worried about my grumpy paranoid IT boy! I really hope he’s okay, and is just _really_ good at avoiding the cameras and recording devices now.
    6. Another .jmj error on Alice’s computer… I wonder if only her computer gets them. I assumed it happens to the other computers, but the two times we’ve heard about it so far, it’s happened on Alice’s computer both times. Coincidence? 🤔
    7. Alice was great about opening up to Sam and Celia about her bad experience, last episode, but neither she nor Gwen are good about opening up to each other. I feel like Gwen is isolating herself, trying to shoulder this new job and horrible responsibility alone, and we’ve learned before that that’s not good in this line of work. I worry about her…

      @TheNitpickChick See my response to @elliesteele2027 down below for Question 3.2 and as for Celia...I totally think she's from the TMA reality too. But that likely means that Darian's from a different reality too, unless you recall a TMA episode where Jon and Martin were at a therapy session together.

      Loved multiple of the things you said!! Your theory on the Outreach Center and why Darrien was so emaciated after getting to another dimension both made a lot of sense to me. I also definitely think that someone/something is trying to tell Celia something with her waking up where she does, and FR3-D1 is trying to tell Alice something with the errors…
      Also, I never thought about the fact that Colin might just have gotten really good at avoiding being recorded! That’s some incredible insight (hah, get it?), thanks!!

    • @hamburgerdog25
      @hamburgerdog25 4 місяці тому +4

      Ok so I think Celia is teleporting. Reason? If Derrian transported to this dimension from a different one then that may be why Fr3d1 gave her that incidient, why she says thanks "but its not really the same thing", why she says it isn't really useful because it doesn't give her insight on whats happening to her. I don't think shes transported here from a different dimension like Derrian did, I think she is just teleporting randomly and probably in her sleep. Whats interesting to me is that she knows a lot of Magnus related stuff, specifically Magnus Archives stuff, so if she is from another dimension she could have ties to the Institute and/or the entities and fears at large. But I wonder if maybe her intentions with Sam aren't pure; that maybe shes getting closer to him because he was a Magnus kid back in the day, and maybe thats one of very few ways she can get closer to asnwers

    So was the other Darian aligned with one or more of the powers or was he just a run-of-the-mill serial killer? The only obviously supernatural part of this statement was the first Darian’s crossing over into another world and the Magnus Outreach Center. If the other Darian wasn’t an avatar then kudos to Rusty Quill for making him sound just as scary as one. There’s something uniquely terrifying about the idea that an alternate version of yourself wouldn’t need to be possessed by any paranormal forces to become the villain in a horror story and instead would just have to go down a different path in life.

    Well damn, this episode has a lot to cover so let's get started! First, we get some more of Celia and her whole situation. Seems like she's experiencing some sort of paranormal sleepwalking as she was unconscious and woken up by the sound of the train. It's also worth noting that she was in Oxford (if she's telling Sam the truth) and the case was from the Magnus Institute's Oxford Outreach Centre, plus she seems to talk to Freddy after finishing it. She said "Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same though is it?" and said the case wasn't very useful to Alice.
    The first part is alluding to how Celia is also probably from a different world like the case subject, but seems like she didn't slip through the crack in reality like they did.
    The second part is what sticks out to me though as Celia previously asked whether it was possible to search through the cases based on their keywords, so it could be she wants to find more cases that are similar to her own. This one was but it didn't really tell her anything besides what she probably already knows: that people can just fall through the crack in reality into a different world.
    I also think its an odd detail in the transcript that Alice was wearing earbuds while Celia was listening to this case and that she returned the earbuds (presumably to Celia) after it was finished. This makes me think that Celia doesn't want the others to listen to cases about people crossing into different worlds to keep suspicion off herself.
    Next, let's talk about Alice's computer problems. A "jmj error" doesn't seem to be a real thing in our world, so either its just a random term for an error to add to the otherness of the Protocol world or its referencing something specific. I've seen people say it could stand for Jon-Martin-Jonah but I'm still not convinced Augustus is Jonah's voice. I'm guessing it has something to do with Alice's encounter with the tape recorder lady who drowned, though what exactly I'm not sure.
    Finally, the case itself. Poor Darrien definitely fell through a crack in reality like the one in Hill Top Road, based on the fact he ended up somewhere in Oxford (Hill Top Road is somewhere in Oxford and we know from TMA that people who fall through the crack end up in roughly the same place in space). It also seems like he ran into an alternate version of Jon and Martin in his old world (the new receptionist matches Martin's description while the new patient sounds a bit like Jon, albeit an unflattering description of him). I don't think its OUR Jon and Martin, that'd be a pretty cruel joke for Jonny to play on us. Poor Darrien also mentions the weird time discrepancies we've heard before in TMA, where the "present" isn't always the same across worlds.
    The last thing to talk about is actually the start of the case: Poor Darrien is labelled "candidate PD553" which if this is the same thing as the codes associated with the children from the Institute's Enrichment program, he must've crossed over quite a while ago since those codes are in the thousands. His viability as subject, agent and catalyst are all low which makes sense since it doesn't seem like there's any Fear that's particularly present in this case. He is instead recommended for the Welling Mutare Materia research program. Mutare Materia is Italian for Change Matter, which almost certainly means this program is dedicated to researching things that fall through cracks in reality, which would explain why the Institute has an Outreach Centre in Oxford: to keep an eye on the crack.

      While I know the crack in reality isn't technically caused by any of the powers, it is connected to Hilltop Road and was the focal point of the Web's plan in Archives. (Also I put Eye because Institute)
      Update: (September 12th 2024)
      I've changed the Web categorisation to Tear (as in the Tear in Reality) since while it doesn't seem directly Web related, it's still the main focus of the case.
