So, the unfortunate truth is that we’re not sure exactly what KS knows about us. I’m pretty sure they know something, but we can’t entirely be sure what. Regardless, here’s a rough timeline of things that have happened so far that are related:
- Early October - Recruits find the Forest of Darkening Glass website and contacted by the Devoted. Using materials stolen from Brandon Lachmann’s backpack, they guide us partially through Brandon’s journey out of this world.
- Late October - We are contacted by Reader who tells us that a large, sinister group has spread through The Devoted like a virus, and has corrupted their leader, Sacha.
- Late November - Reader tells us The Devoted have disbanded and Sacha had “been brought into the fold’ and her work with The Devoted was done.”
- Early December - Recruits encounter the Kemetic Solutions logo for the first time, within The Cagliostro’s email server. Nothing can be found about the company.
- Late March - Aether leads us to Kemetic Solutions - the second time we’d heard the company name.
- Mid April - Aether’s livestream includes clips of Brandon Lachmann’s stolen materials, the same ones from Fragment Four.
- Late April - Aether reveals Teddy’s logs, including one about the Lachmann Project. The date the Lachmann project was started unknown.
And, that’s more or less what we’ve experienced. There’ve been theories about KS being the shadow group that took over the Devoted (and thus how they obtained the Lachmann materials) or that they were part of the cult of the Cagliostro but the truth is, we don’t know. The most we’ve really encountered has come from Fragment Ten onwards.
My guess is that they at least know what The Low does - that we’re a group being public about magiq. They may even know about the BoB. If Sacha is indeed with KS now, then they most definitely know about our forum and what happened in Fragment Four. Whether they know about our involvement with Aether is another story - though it’s entirely possible they don’t, given they seem pretty frantic right now.
