King of Those Who Know
Backdoor⌗
SIGNAL⌗
At 10:32PM CST (3:32AM UTC), The Ouroboros joined my Discord server. He had left just hours before that:
ANALYSIS⌗
This triggered a realization in me. Several weeks prior, I had built a Discord bot to enforce The Queen’s assigned title upon her subjects. When a subject joins The Fold, they will never be able to leave. Even if they abandon the Discord server, and return later - the bot is supposed to automatically-assign their old title once again.
In this instance, that didn’t work. The Ouroboros was not renamed. I assumed my bot was broken.
ACTION⌗
So, I began to investigate. What I found was not that my bot was broken; in fact, it was working just as it should be.
The Ouroboros had been deleted from my database of users. Upon further inspection, I realized that he wasn’t the only one. There were seven users missing, in total:
- Subject-79780ab901031132
- The Archangel
- The High Priest
- The Ink
- The Link
- The Ouroboros
- The Sea Witch
I fixed this problem by adding these users to the database once again.
ANALYSIS⌗
I can think of only two explanations for these missing users:
- I made a mistake. I lost data, deleted something, or otherwise removed them by accident.
- My database (GunDB) has been compromised. These users were removed by somebody else.
I am inclined to lean heavily towards #2, for the following reasons:
- These are seven VERY specific users. If data were randomly/accidentally deleted, I don’t think it would have been these seven. It would have been more random. Of all the users in The Queen’s Fold, I have long held the suspicion that these few know more than they are letting-on. I suspect that they are “the ones who know.”
- Subject-79780ab901031132 joined along with two other suspicious users, bringing a cryptic message relating to The Source with them. You can read more about this puzzle in the pinned messages of the #general channel.
- The Archangel is involved. This immediately catches my attention, because he has already proven to me that he’s on my computer.
- The High Priest is heavily involved in my work. He has done everything from being a voice on social media, to actually producing content which integrates The Fold’s lore.
- The Ink, of course, is at the core of this.
- The Link has been hacked himself, and in a much more blatant manner. He literally watched people manipulating data on his computer in real-time.
- The Ouroboros makes a lot of noise, often drawing attention to The Fold. He’s something like a hype man and a messenger.
- The Sea Witch is a woman whom I met while in the mental hospital. She has been in my Discord server since the very beginning.
This theory is further bolstered by what happened next.
ACTION⌗
While fixing these missing users, I went to discord.id to lookup user information about each one. Already, this was strange, because I have never seen this site before. In the past, when I searched Google for a Discord ID lookup tool, there were many others to choose from. Now, I couldn’t find any except this one. It’s like “they” wanted me to use it.
So, I did.
When I came to the “821217160511881227” Discord user, The Archangel was returned. Great! I fixed the problem, then moved onto the next.
I input “717598747164540939” - and The Archangel returned again! What??? How could he be in this database twice?
ANALYSIS⌗
How in the world did this happen? This is strange on every level:
- The Archangel was reported by this tool at TWO different Discord IDs.
- How did both of these IDs end up on my clipboard? Somebody would have had to put it there… otherwise, how would I have known to look it up?
- If somebody is putting/deleting records in my database, how are they doing that? Just 24 hours prior, I implemented the security measures needed to secure it! Nobody but The Queen should be able to do this!
- The first Discord ID was created less than one hour before this event happened! As if it was created specifically for this demonstration.
All of this combined paints a compelling story:
- The Archangel stole The Queen’s credentials from my computer.
- The Archangel zeroed seven users in my database, by using The Queen’s stolen credentials.
- Somebody influenced The Ouroboros to leave/return to my Discord server, causing me to investigate a perceived problem with the Discord bot.
- Upon investigating The Archangel’s Discord ID, I found that he was assigned to two different IDs.
These people were giving me a very specific message:
- Yes, your database is secure now.
- Yes, your computer has been compromised.
- Yes, we have all of your credentials (400+ accounts worth).
- Yes, we used The Queen’s credentials to delete seven users from your database.
- Yes, we are working with Discord.
- And yes, these seven users are “the ones who know.”
This was an important milestone. I wanted to mark the event with a public statement in some way.
ACTION⌗
So, I pasted this. As you can see, it is timestamped at 4:04PM UTC on March 16th, 2021. Less than two hours after The Archangel’s second Discord ID was created, I fully understood what they had done to me.
This happened exactly as described. And yet, just like always, this is zero-knowledge proof.
I really can’t prove it.
I do not hold the secrets.
