That’s 7 years of planning and getting the internet to resurface and track down the origin of some lost media…

Maybe this ARG is actually for this bands long awaited second album :joy:

If Dave Lee Roth turns up, they may have gone a little too far.

(for ref, he also had an album called Skyscraper - but I think that was a reference to climbing).

Second album released on May 22, 2026. The day after the ā€œMULTIPLE_UNCOORDINATED_CONNECTION_ATTEMPTSā€


I want to emphasize that it was a curious thing that’s happening at the same time. Like the guys in yellow and the ā€œBackroomsā€ movie. I don’t want to confuse you travelers.

Maybe we should double check FEX weren’t playing a show in London the other night :sweat_smile:

11 posts were split to a new topic: Cryptic Story Investigation

Damn, 9:30pm EST and no skyscraper updates, social posts, etc.

I have a feeling we already have the pieces we need to proceed to the next step, it’s just a matter of fitting them together.

Do we have to offer @Klaxk as a sacrificial lamb?

I don’t know what needs to be done but all I know is that prior to being mentioned, I had only requested 2 memory blocks. One we believe will not be added as 710 and I both submitted requests for the foundation of the Galactic Hub. I believe the timestamp of the release date of NMS is what caused the weak signal to appear

Hello everyone,

Finally I was able to catch up on almost everything, been following the ARG since last week.

I try to use this quiet time to get known by the bot :sweat_smile:

Has anybody suggested the creation of the Galactic Atlas to the Timestamp Retrieval log? Seems to have been a relatively quiet couple days, no?

So we know that in a couple days memory blocs should be added. My conversation may give us more insight to the unrecognized pattern that Ghost mentions.

Surely this part from the new email is a new clue for something? I gotta go make dinner now, so apologies for the hasty translation in the Email Thread. The deciphering tool, was placing al lthe paragraphs in reverse order for some reason, and then this was all in french, so I hope I rearranged it correctly.

Kinda eery seeing 2013 when I submitted the 2013 reveal trailer date to the mem bloc today :eyes:

Also these old school chums, they haven’t seen each other in person in 13 years going by this conversation.

It’s interesting that there were social media posts expected this morning, that never came.

I think I’m getting it (thanks to discussion with Ben on the Galactic Hub Discord - I’ve been trying to get him to join here lol)

This ARG is an inside window into the Void Mother’s development / experience through the NMS lifespan.

The architect asks whether System is connected to the Tower.

No Man’s Sky started as a skyscraper-focused video game.
At this point in the lore, System was building a tower.

Then Hello Games’ office flooded. They lost all data (or at least, had to functionally restart development) . This is when System went offline.

Now it will begin constructing the simulation we all know, using our memories as anchor points.

ā€œThey can see the Tower, but not the one insideā€ could refer to developing a skyscraper game, not realizing what it would become, including System (ā€œthe one insideā€). Maybe, I’m less confident there.

If I’m close to right about any of that, a big question is whether Emily / Void Mother = System, or whether (like the lore from this expedition) it was fragmented into Atlas, Void Mother, and… maybe a third thing? Emily? The Hive?

Keep in mind, connections to actual no mans sky lore/development are just allusions, waking titan is it’s own story that runs in parallel to themes and concepts found within NMS.
