So the NASA Psyche mission, launched this past October, also carries the Deep Space Optical Communications experiment, or "DSOC". The goal of DSOC is to demonstrate high-bandwidth communication over previously impossible distances using lasers.

Here's the laser transmitter/reciever on the Psyche spacecraft!

The hope is that this technology will eventually enable super high data rate missions beyond Earth's orbit.

Well, on December 11th, DSOC successfully streamed ultra-high definition video via laser from a record-setting 19 million miles away from Earth! And the transmission?

Hannah

She cant talk so she would just shake her head in a “no” motion and if the guy doesnt understand aki or muichiro will tell him she’s uninterested

On the last christmas vid, deceit shows up on the end card and tells Virgil to control his personal grow “or who knows, soon you might be rid of us all”. as Deceit, by definition, speaks in lies, this was probably a threat, telling Virgil to quit being on the Light Sides’ side, or the Dark Sides will show up more.

And he is keeping that promise.

The next video, Deceit shows up, for an entire video, and not only troubles Thomas badly, but also continues to threat Virgil.

“It takes a liar to know a liar”

“You’re not a beacon of truth”

“Oh, so you’ve never been reluctant to share anything with the group, then?”

“What? I only meant your name”

Deceit is making it incredibly clear that he is ready to tell all of Virgil’s secrets. All the times he says that, Virgil is trying to interfere, to debate his arguments. You better shut that mouth Virgil, or they’ll know it all. 

And then, the next video, the other dark side shows up. And he says Deceit told him to. And Deceit told him to in a very specific way. He didn’t just say “I don’t care, do whatever the fuck you want”. He said, and I quote

“You’re wanting to be more honest and be direct dealing with your issues? No longer will you deceive yourself or the ugliness within you”

And Remus also says “Sure, people don’t like me much Thomas, but that’s just because I’m honest”

Deceit probably told Remus to say it like that. To be very clear this was about honesty. About the lack of deception. Deceit’s trying to prove his point. But hey, it didn’t exactly work.

Deceit wants to prove you can’t be honest about everything. You can’t just go out telling people whatever you think. You could hurt people, or freak them out, or gain enemies. To some extent, and I repeat, some, because Deceit’s truly always seems half shockingly right half terribly wrong to me, I agree with him. I know some people who believe telling people “You look like an ostrich on that dress” is being honest. I disagree. Sometimes, you must lie, for the sake of a role in society, or other people’s feelings.

So, he’s saying “You want me to quit hiding things, Thomas? Fine! Here! You are a bad person, with fucked up thoughts, and fucked up parts of you. Do you wish me to stop lying? Alright. Then deal with the fact that you. Are. Messed. Up. Why don’t we end my job right here, and you stop lying to yourself? Are you a good person?”

That question. Is Thomas a good person? Second video in a row it showed up. And Thomas is clearly bothered by it. 

It’s the same thing as Virgil. Stop taking the other side or they’ll all know your secrets. Stop making me have a small part on your life or you won’t be able to sleep, you’ll have to face the consequences of knowing everything there is to know about you.

It is very evident Remus and Deceit are working together. They want power. Power to choose what content they’re making. Power to choose what Thomas says, or doesn’t say.

[about hiding what you’re doing]”Oooh, how fun? You know who could help us with that?” *cue Deceits theme song*

(Also, there’s the theory/headcanon that Remus and Deceit are dating – or something in that area – because a) Remus jokes about being handed 2 Ds at once, and snakes have 2 Ds and b) it sounds reasonable ok we just ship every side in this fandom)

And Remus very clearly keeps threatening Virgil.

“Good seeing you again, Virgil. It was just like old times”

“That sounds like a YOU problem. Or” smiling devilishly “ a [Virgil] problem”

“Virgil, you’ve never been one to soften the truth, why would you aspire to be so... boring?”

“Despite his best efforts, Virgil could never stop being the bad guy!”

But... Deceit’s plan didn’t quite work. Because they established that Thomas’ thoughts don’t make him bad, and he shouldn’t lie about them. If he feels troubled, he should seek a friend, or a therapist.

Say hello to Triumphant Whisper, or Reaper as they like to call themselves. 

Lord of the hunt, triumphant over all predators and prey alike, they quite enjoy an evening feast of adrenaline and fear. 

They wear various furs to dissolve into the environment, striking out when their prey is least expecting it.

The shadows welcome the Reaper and their bountiful feasts, though all must abide by their rule: hunt, or be hunted.  

So let the hunt begin >:3c
