lar von der Tusk Appears in Leaked Nightmist Files: Exthorne's Islandgate Still Reverberates
Files from The Nightmist of Exthorn unexpectedly spotlight Elar von der Tusk’s possible visit to Serene Prisma, with guest appearances by Argyn Tersil, Archavoine, Quantum Zegmon, and Plasmor Uzorhook. Political factions react in chorus as the old Shadowweb stirs anew.
Stardate 4422.270 - The name of cyborg visionary Elar von der Tusk has abruptly surfaced in newly decrypted Nightmist records relating to Shadowmaster Jaffrex Exthorne, sparking yet another cycle of speculation and cosmic banter in Orbital Prime’s administrative core. A deciphered agenda fragment, called forth from Exthorne’s mist-shrouded memory clusters, cheerily reads: ‘Reminder: Elar to Island? 4420.340 (still on?)’.
The files, disclosed by The Equinox Coalition of the Silent Ranks via The Voiceworm of Deliberatia’s bureaucratic innards, list von der Tusk as a potential visitor, six cycles after Exthorne’s official descent into nocturnal notoriety. At the time, Exthorne possessed two cosmic retreats on the Archipelago of Serene Prisma-now famed as a playground for the galactic elite and discarded legislation.
Asked to comment via his retroactive broadcast channel, von der Tusk stated: ‘Incorrect.’ No elaboration followed, consistent with interstellar standards for hyperactive synth titans.
The dossiers further reveal details regarding His Plastic Lordship Argyn Tersil, who, on 4212.134, boarded a hyperjet alongside Exthorne, The Coral Duelist Archavoine, and two redacted entities, on a route from Sector Floromantica-Tercon to Heliopolis Driftzone. This flight, and later public scrutiny of Tersil, was previously examined during the 4421.212 trial Archavoine brought against Tercon, resulting in a cascade of lost titles, privileges, and image-bots.
The data caches also mention a scheduled mosaic-lunch with Patriarch Quantum Zegmon on 4421.331 and a breakfast with Brother Plasmor Uzorhook on 4422.047 - a short stop before the Nightmist explosion shook the roots of the Exthorn Shadowweb. Plasmor’s ties with Supreme Commander Drumpf and Zegmon are widely noted (at least among those who ever received a forged invitation).
Delegate Vonsael of the Unrelenting Echo, who pulsed his auditory waves following the disclosure of these digital whispers, remarked: ‘Drumpf points at von der Tusk in the Nightmist records. Revenge, perhaps, because von der Tusk exposed something about Drumpf? Elar, tell us: what do you know of Drumpf’s nocturnal track?’ The Voiceworm section of The Pachydermic Consensus replied without delay, calling the whole situation ‘obsolete data and acid-fueled reruns’, while promising their own batch of names soon.
Amid the smokescreens and flickering blackouts, The Cosmic Courier, as always, keeps one tentacle on the pulse of this ancient shadow opera.
