Select this thingy to read my commentary

We got a glimpse of a troll floating around the frog ruins before. She removed the head of the frog statue seemingly with just her mind. Perhaps these are psionic powers like the ones Sollux. We still don't know who this is but she further destroys the frog statue just by giving it a little, uncaring kick. We can assume this person is very powerful. What we're given is that this person is apocalypseArisen [AA]. The one who was able to confirm the vision Sollux had. She's also the one the other trolls don't seem to like chatting with anymore for some reason.

Sollux and AA are chatting. They speak of going to a new dimension. The voices haunting them should stop once they get there. AA’s outlook is generally hopeless and depressing. But she’s mostly just emotionless, she mentions she doesn't remember anger. She mentions that Karkats anger is vital to him sabotaging his own plan. His sabotage of his own plan is critical to a greater plan. She mentions the voices never lie. This is familiar to the old ones that Dave and Rose can hear. AA informs Sollux that this game isn’t a way to save their world. Their world is already fated to be destroyed. They can only hope to preserve their species. She also lets him know that he isn't the leader of this operation. Someone else will enter the game before him. Sollux doesn’t like what he is hearing. As a Seer himself he’d know if this was true. He now wants to abort the whole game in hopes it will change something. He reaches out to Terezi to let her know. But she already offloaded the leadership role to Karkat. Frantically Sollux demands Karkat quit playing the game. This doesn't work. Karkat already accused Sollux of trying to put Terezi in charge as a way of weakening the red team. He now thinks that this is another attempt to gain an advantage. Also he’s already installed the game and has begun playing it with Terezi. This leads to the usual petty arguing that we’d come to expect. In doubt of his hacking prowess, Karkat runs the code that Sollux created. This was the Mobius Double Reacharound Virus, the one that makes computers explode. The code worked shortly after while Karkat was away from his PC. This is what caused the giant hole in the side of his hive. This code also curses everyone on his contact list to grave misfortunes. Specifically their Lusus will die. Karkats has become the first. It got killed in the explosion. We're told all the trolls except for one would prototype their Lusus. This would make their monarchs extremely powerful.

Apparently the prototyping process prefers the dead or doomed. Though this isn't required. We see Gamzee Holding the head of his sea dragon Lusus which looks to have been impaled somehow.

Sollux is beating himself up for even giving Karkat that code. He realized that he was just showing off and it cost everyone dearly. He decides to delete the code and all of his viruses so that cant do any more harm. He noticed one virus he had found was not one of his. He had found it, and it triggers only if the universe is destroyed. He mentions even if he deleted it, it's likely to have spread. It seems to contain an ominous gif of various pool balls. It gives strong vibes of “The Felt”

We are told that the code summons an indestructible demon into a void world. It will then rule over it. This Demon can also traverse time. And the creator of the code is the demon itself. We can see that this code has installed itself in a server that exists beyond the medium. One placed there by Rose to house the GameFaqs entries. This means this impossible to kill time traveling demon is not only already out but no longer bound to one universe. Sollux’s Lusus starts to act up. He’s apparently built his hive on Communal Hive Stem which is like an apartment building. He has his Lusus chained up on the roof of this structure. His Bicylops Lusus has a visitor, its AA floating in the sky around it.


Till tomorrow, don't run random codes you find on the internet, and keep riding the pumpkin tide.
