File #99999 - EVERYONE

The following quote was written by one of our sightseers when he came across the entity called "EVERYONE" in a waking dream.

"We are connected to the multiverse by the fundamental building blocks of The Great Illusion. This is what I am. This is what we are. We are energy, vibration, and frequency. And there's truly no separation of it. Therefore, I am you, as well as everyone you love, everyone you hate, everyone who never existed, and everyone who will.

I 

Am

Everyone"

     In the core of our souls, we are unfeeling. Unthinking. Just pure awareness that remains existent. And that presence may just be living nothingness, or at least the illusion of nothing, for knowing we are all created from cosmic energy, he is that energy, but made perfectly conscious.

As for EVERYONE'S origin, we have one theory of how such a being could come to be.

Perhaps EVERYONE is from our native dimension, born by a great enlightenment yet to come, but traveled to the past to fulfill a personal agenda. For a being who can mold the rules of physics to their will, time travel doesn't seem implausible.

Some esoteric manuscripts see "EVERYONE" as living nothingness, that is, pure awareness, or Pure void, which, according to those records, is the very foundation of life, individuality, and "presence"(the matter of truly existing), for all beings are one with the void, which is indeed nothingness - the pure core of all living things behind their thoughts and emotions. 

In short, this "nothingness", "void", or sometimes referred to as "peace" is what ties us together since that nothingness, in a sense, is us.

And that nothingness is the entity that calls itself "EVERYONE".

This entity was discovered when one of our agents was sent to spectate the surface of Venus via astral projection, where he witnessed seeing a blinding portal or "hole" open up in empty space where the featureless silhouette of a man stood idly inside, unmoving.

He went on to explain the reason why it has come to us. And that reason brings us to a previous concern of ours.

A U.S citizen, whose birth name is "August Haliforth", is someone whose spiritual and sub-conscience strength surpassed that of our most powerful agents for reasons unknown. According to the few CIA agents who survived their encounter with him, he unlocked a fraction of his "astral body", allowing him to manipulate reality by drawing powers from other dimensions, and becoming the very essence of a few metaphysical phenomena, such as wonder, imagination, and even ambition. Though a seemingly innocent combination, he managed to rip apart the minds of several CIA agents, even those who merely approached him via astral projection. And those who did survive, including those who gave their testimony, now live in psychiatric institutions, permanently scarred.

The following brief audio is from an interview with Samuel Norvhul, a CIA agent who survived after being attacked by August

*Tape clicks on*

Interviewer: Good afternoon Mr. Norvhul...

Samuel:...

Interviewer: I appreciate you choosing to follow along with this interview. We know your mind hasn't been in the sharpest state after your encounter. Now, you're the only one in your assigned team who survived this man. Can you tell us what you saw? Anything that can help us understand how to combat this criminal?

Samuel:... No.

Interviewer: No as in-

Samuel: You don't combat something like that... This thing... it's beyond physical. It's beyond this world. This thing is... emotion, ambition, the depths of the human soul incarnate. It... becomes a part of you, and makes you rip yourself apart from the inside.

Interviewer: When you say "thing", you mean August?

Samuel: Oh, I remember. That's what it calls itself. But a man... A man cannot do what that thing did to us. A man cannot rip the very nature of our minds against itself and blend into the fabric of existence to make it turn on its own inhabitants. No, only a god can do that. But... it's not a god. It's evil. Evil in every way.

Interviewer: Samuel-

Samuel: You're facing off against the devil. Just leave it alone. Do what EVERYONE advised, and stay clear of it. We are so little in comparison, but EVERYONE is you and I, including that thing. It's the perfect version of us all.

Interviewer: I see. Now, can you-"

Samuel: I don't think you listened. Stay away from him. There's nothing you can do. May we end the interview now? It's pudding day in the psychiatric institution, and I don't want to be last in line again.

Interviewer: *sigh*... Sure. Whatever you need.

*Tape clicks off*

According to EVERYONE, August Haliforth is on a crusade to unlock the full powers of his astral body that would allow him to better navigate the multiverse, with the goal to rid the Great Illusion of every worshipped Principality and Eldritch being, believing them to be the cause of humanity's supposed enslavement. After this, he plans to enlighten humanity with the esoteric truths of the multiverse to bring about the pinnacle of humankind, or the "Golden Age".

It was only a matter of time before August locked eyes with EVERYONE. Of course, August came to see the entity as a threat to the success of his mission, but to take down EVERYONE would mean killing everyone he ever meant to save, including himself. So he decided he must become singular. He must defy the laws of the illusory nature of the multiverse (henceforth it being called the "Great Illusion") and become real. According to the anomaly, this would make August unstoppable, for EVERYONE cannot tamper with things outside of its multiverse.

Surprisingly, EVERYONE didn't ask us for any assistance whatsoever, but disapproved of us looking into August Haliforth any longer, claiming that he is beyond our expertise and that he'll soon "leave this existence for other lands".

Safety rating on EVERYONE: Unknown
