I can’t be making up the weird squeak/distorted noise a few times while Gerry’s talking, may be overreaching but it seems like it’s every time he lies?

The fact that they are making only noise and don't have particular features ..... Is that perhaps a bit of "The Lonely" and "The Stranger"?

My two theories are that either Johan was trying to cultivate a new host over a longer period of time OR he was trying to expose a whole bunch of kids to the Fears and see which ones survive and the questionnaires mentioned were screening for a prior exposure to one of the Fears

I have two theories about the gifted youth program and neither of them are good, can't wait to see if either are close or if I'm WAY off the mark

I listened back through episode 7. What’s weird is that Celia asks for if “Jons” computer voice sounded familiar after listening to the statement….why would alternate reality Celia find the voice familiar?

The way Gerry's painting haunted me in TMA, I can't tell you how hyped I am to have "Camden Epiphany" to mull over. Can't wait to hear everyone's reacts after public release.
Thanks gang for a great one.

Oh, these are good points. Excellent catch that Gwen is implying here that cases are findable/selectable. (I’ve figured Alice leaves as part of her coping mechanism; I don’t think she’s really as blasé as she makes herself out to be. But yeah, they may also be taking a toll on Gwen.)
Nice catch.

I also think it has something to do with the new versions of the dread powers being based on desire or “hunger”, but whether it’s going to be relevant or if it’s just foreshadowing I’m not sure

Sue Sims was always my favorite voice actor from MAG (love that she's the author's mom) and OMG they brought her back. She makes Gertrude sound like a Miss Marple who isn't afraid of piling up a body count. I can't wait to hear where they take Gertrude in TMP.

Should we be worried that something heals our souls this early in the proceedings? Doesn’t that just mean it’s CERTAIN to crush us later?

The choice was what I found interesting. Might be a one off but forcing the victim to choose between them and the vast.

This case very much reminds me of mag156 with the very thin and hungry figures trying to eat the protagonist. If I remember correctly the man from 156 entered a mirror world (parallel universe world?) and the statement was proof of the extinction which I never really understood. Now we have the world that the fears have transferred to post-apocalypse extinction of the original tma world. Please correct me if I’m wrong but do you guys think this means anything?

Asdfhjkl, this episode broke my brain, so much to unpack. First off 11/10 would get tricked & treated again to spooky academia with Alex hour thank you. But more imp Gerry, Gertrude, & Georgie all exist here? Did maybe the world being "reset" at end of MAG result in time jump backwards so as to explain fire in 90s & also collective memory wipe of the institue bc ppl here don't seem to know it like people did it mag? That's my theory for now

So, this is all speculation. But there’s a hypothesis, one I find very appealing, that this universe will have Entities, but that it will be centered on Desire instead of Fear.
People will do horrible things out of desire. And it’s not hard to find a narrative about desire in the cases.
Plus, it’s a new narrative space to explore.
Of course, that’s what I speculate is natively here. But it looks like Annabelle’s plan worked, so presumably Archives Fear is here, and likely about January 2023 (when the voices showed up).
Kate McKiernan
2024-02-28 00:47:51 +0000 UTC
I’m pretty sure it’s been haunted/hacked since episode 1. That’s how we were able to hear the conversation between Sam and Alice at the bar, at the end of that episode. Unless it was possibly being recorded from Alice’s phone? I’ll have to double check the transcript. 😅
Edit: I checked the transcript, and it was actually Alice’s phone recording at the bar in the first episode. But, we do know Sam’s phone has been haunted since at least last episode, when it was recording the conversation between Sam and Colin. 😊

2024-02-27 23:11:59 +0000 UTC
Okay, one more thought. Gwen says that Alice (allegedly) “deliberately tries to find talkers” and leaves them on to mess with Gwen. That’s interesting! That possibly implies:
1) Gwen might actually be bothered by some of the statements? I figured she’s worked here long enough to tune them out like Alice, but apparently not?
2) If the spoken statements are supposedly random, how is Alice meant to “deliberately try to find” one?! Does Alice know what statements might be read out by FR3-D1?!

Am I the only one who feels there's at least a paragraph missing between the final "Stay a while" and "Their grip on me tightened"? Like there was no mention of the narrator being held in any way before, so how could it tighten?

ALSO, the statement was a fun one! Definitely Spiral, mainly, but with pretty prominent aspects of Lonely, Flesh, Stranger, and even a little Vast! I love it!
When the statement mentioned the tall woman in a fitted suit holding open a door, though, I cannot express how my heart nearly stopped!!! I was like DISTORTION?! Are you back?! Probably not Hellen, as that form was smote by Jon, but I still got so excited!!!!
(I don’t quite think it’s the Distortion, though. Or, at least, not the Distortion we know and love. Maybe this universe has its own version?)
Trisidael
2024-02-27 22:40:08 +0000 UTC
We're not even 12 hours in and this episode has more comments than First Shift.
A fantastic case that elegantly brings in the themes of architecture and psychology that resonate with Archives. A post-case with exciting Alice/Gwen tension and voices and names that have had me giddy all day.
Damn, Alex, I respect your craft.

Also, MORE CONFIRMATION that Celia is almost certainly the Celia from Georgie and Melanie’s cult! I’m now wondering if she’s maybe stuck and trying to find a way back to the TMA universe? I know she said she’s doing a favor for Georgie, but I wonder if she meant our original Georgie or not. 🤔

I guess Sam just mentions finding "a list" in the episode, but irl we have a spreadsheet that includes many kids' names and various test results. Searching for the "Magnus Protocol ARG documents" should get you to the sheet via the wiki, or you get there from the community master document in the description of pinkelotje 's comprehensive summary of the ARG on YouTube (which is how I learned of it)

GUYS QUESTION, so if there’s this universe version of Gerry, Gertrude, Georgie and Celia (and presumable Elias or at least the Bouchards as well as probably more characters we’ll see in the future) do you think there’s this universes version of jon and Martin like obvs tma versions of them stuck in the technology/computer but do you think there’s tmp universe versions of them just living their lives? Like jon who dated Georgie in uni and then ended up working some boring office job and Martin who takes care of his sick mother? This episode brought a lot of questions also following up if these lot are still in this universe do you recon there’s basira daisy Sasha tim and Melanie just living their lives (not saying we will hear from them but it’s sort of nice to imagine that nothing bad happened to them and they are just happy and living their lives?)

Oh man, THIS is what they meant in the Kickstarter stream when they said explaining the fluff episodes would spoil the first eight episodes! I'm so excited for them!!

Well, so apparently there's Georgie and she has a podcast. Hmmm, let's take a look over at Kickstarter. Right: "Sasha Sienna – Six Part Spin-off Writer (Unlocked £200,000 Stretch Goal)".
This means more "What The Ghost?", riiiiight?

Ok so, "Norris" has so far spoken two cases about a partner in a relationship undergoing horrific transformation, and now one about being lost among strangers
"Chester" did one about the Institute, one about Voyeurism, and one about the Hiltop area in Oxford
Yeah, that's a pattern alright

Also super happy to hear Sue Sims again! I love her voice acting for Gertrude.

The idea that in some other universe Gertrude and Gerry got to be a happy little family, even if only for a while, makes me very happy.

I’m not so certain all of this counts as confirmation of having come through the Hilltop Hole. Gigi and Gerry were quite dead before by ep. 200 and I think we heard Georgie in the epilogue scene, if memory serves.
Perhaps these are Protocol universe versions of the three G’s who also inevitably got tangled in spooky stuff?
