In Decay, it looks like the Operator moves- near as I can tell, it seems like his silhouette moves in front of the light, but in 26 he definitely doesn't.

I'm certain he does that in #26. Nobody just noticed vCoolv

My bet (And someone has almost certainly already said this) but this is TTA telling Alex that he's coming to kill him, and that he's going to use Jay to do it. The clip immediately after 'You caused this' is of Alex, after he killed that random guy, whereas the clip immediately before 'He will lead me to you' is of Jay. Further, the sound from the last seven seconds, when run through a spectrograph, spells out "Today is your last birthday", and since Alex's birthday is April 4th, it's safe to say that he's dead meat. This video also implies that Tim is back to his masked ways, since that's him with his pocket knife in that one clip.

Actually, the person with the pocket knife is Jay - it's footage from the very start of Entry #50, when Jay is preparing to meet Alex in Rosswood Park.

I actually quite like that they've used this footage and have linked it with the text about being led "to death" as it kinda backs up my current theory, which is that Tim is still TTA (or one of TTA) and is currently playing Jay for all he's worth (not hard considering 1. Tim is an actor 2. Jay is still, despite everything, remarkably trusting of people). After all, Alex originally wanted that knife to harm or kill Tim in Entry 35. Making the link to that knife and the fact TTA expects to die (at Alex's hands?) implies Tim is behind the sentiment, IMO.

This may be reaching, but isn't it all the same knife that Tim stole from Jay back in #18?

Nope. (Agree with the rest of your post though)

Or, it's Alex telling Jay he will never be forgiven for stirring things back up by going through the tapes. Isn't that pretty much what he said while he was threatening him with the gun?

I actually completely forgot about that and had to go back and watch that entry again to see what you meant! But yeah, I would like to think it's the same knife, being involuntarily passed backwards and forwards between Tim and Jay over the last couple of years. Just 'cause that would be cool. Smile

With that in mind, I still stand by my theory that this particular TTA video is at least partly Tim's doing. Mainly because of the knife/death-by-Alex connection.

I'm going to propose a theory that will likely meet with harsh criticism because it follows on the heels of another theory that has been widely disregarded, but here goes anyway.

What if Alex is the Ark? Now, before you burn me to the ground with your pitchforks and hot buttery scones, bear with me for a little bit. An ark can be a kind of container or vessel, and based on Alex's actions I don't think it's necessarily too great a leap to think he may very well be a vessel for the Operator, or at least some of the Operator's goals and desires.

This would raise the point that the Operator probably can't press himself into our world for a very long period of time, and that he can take refuge inside of an individual. It might also explain why Alex has bouts of sanity and bouts of "I'ma gonna feed my friends' psyches to this faceless guy =D"

That brings us around to Totheark. If you look back on his actions, it looks a lot like he's trying to goad Jay into looking for Alex. During season one, TTA used sinister language and reverse psychology to get Jay to do a lot of the footwork, and whenever Jay seemed to hit a dead end TTA pushed him forward by saying what amounted to "This was fun for me, but now we're tired of your lack of progress," in Entry ######.

During the blank 7 months, Totheark didn't post any videos (neither did Jay, mind you), which was likely because TTA had found Alex and was going to kill him. After several failed attempts, Jay ended up blundering into Alex's murderous clutches and had to be bailed out, giving Alex a chance to escape, Jay a bout of amnesia, and TTA basically back to square one.

During season 2, the messages changed in tone towards what I would interpret as trying to get Jay on TTA's side. Classified, Side Note, and Extraction are all basically saying "Alex killed a guy. Do you really think he's the one you should be trusting?" There were also a few (Intermission and Forecast) that seemed to say, "I've been this close to you and I didn't do anything. Maybe I'm not so bad." You also get a little bit of this in Reminder as well.

Anyway, back to my original point. Totheark is chasing down Alex, the Operator's vessel (or ark) for one of two reasons. First and foremost would be revenge, considering Alex handed Tim and Brian over to the Operator on a silver platter. Now obviously Tim is Masky, and Masky is associated with Totheark. Brian may very well be a member too since it appears he was subjected to the same scenario as Tim, but this remains to be seen.

Since Decay mentions "Will lead me to death," it could mean that Jay will be leading TTA to Alex, at which point TTA will kill Alex and be done with it. It could also mean that by dealing with Alex/the Operator once and for all, the personality schism that is Totheark will disappear forever, effectively sentencing that entity to death. Since there's no real specification of whose death it might be, this point remains to be seen.

All that being said, I'm not really up on my OOG list of things that are certain never to happen. I know I'm not the first one to say Alex might be the Ark, but others seem to focus on his Alex R. Kralie initials (which I believe his middle initial being R. was officially denied by Word of God), and the spelling of his last name as KRAlie (Ark being spelled backwards there). The theory I've got going on here is a lot more direct, but I'm certain it's far from complete. It's an interesting start of an idea, though.

Problem with your theory: do you think Alex is death as well?

Either all three of the "you will lead me to" 's are in reference to Alex(you, death, the ark) or they are referencing separate things. I am currently of the theory that "lead me to death" is in reference to the Operator due to the distorted trees.

Also, what do people think the words "no chance" mean in conjunction to "lead me to the ark"?

no chance? I think you mean "no choice", that's what the numbers in the video translates to.
And it might hint that "death" is the only option, TTA/Alex/both will have to die, no matter what, probably to escape TO's influence (if such a thing is possible anyway).

I don't know why reading through all these pages are reminding me of the Harry Potter prophecy and the whole, "and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives". But I guess it makes sense considering it seems to be pretty clear Alex and TTA won't stop trying to shoot/cinderblock smash each other to death until one of them succeeds.

Wait, it all makes sense to me now. How couldn't I see this before?

The Ark requires HUMAN SACRIFICE!

TTA needs Jay to find the ark for him because someone has to die for it to work.
Totheark is Dumbledore! Laughing
