“Insects and disease- no clear connection other than the fact that… they somehow feel similar. They both make one feel… distinctly unclean.

End Recording.”

“SUPPLEMENTAL- I’M IN THE TUNNELS, I WAS EXPLORING AND I GOT LOST UH”

MAG 68 The Tale of a Field Hospital

So we know this episode, right? The wierd book with the fanboy reporting.

First I love him! He is so fun! Magnus institue fanboy. Like I know it's the supernatural and there are history nerds and true crime fans existing but would a guy like Joseph Russo exist in real life?

He was so adorble. Finding a potencial first edition of a book and not giving it to a museum or private collector but going to the Magnus Institute of all places!

About the statement, I liked how a bit it mentioned the Slaughter with it's pipes, digging a grave to the dead. If that what it was.

Now enough about the statement because we know how much Jonny liked writing it.

What I want to talk about is my absolute dissapointment. So he mentions that there was a huge document leak in 1999. Now I first connected it with the woman's statement from MAG 60 Observer Effect. You know, the woman who stole the filing paper truck that went to the Magnus Institute.

But that happened in 1984 wich was years before the document leak.

So that was a detail I remembered incorrectly. And it makes me sad. Would have been fun if the two were connected.

Also tried to connect the document leak up with The Magnus Protocol, but the Archives of that version burned down in 1991. And also a lot of stuff I probably missed cus I didn't do the ARG.

Jon, about the tunnels: The place plays odd tricks with your mind. When I saw Sasha down there, for a moment it was like I didn’t recognise her. She seemed… far too tall somehow.

Me, first time listening, an idiot: lol interesting I'm sure this is fine. Good thing Sasha was there to get him out :D

Early on in the statement, the statement giver mentions a leak in 1999 (I think that was the date) and while I don't think it's ever explicitly mentioned again, it must be why so many people know about the institute and why they have a reputation amongst people like Melanie as being where anyone can go spill their guts

I have to wonder if that was done intentionally by someone. Gertrude, to make the institute seem like a bunch of crackpots? Jonah, as an attempt at a ritual? Jonah or the Web, to make more people give their statements and make the ritual in the end more likely to succeed?

Oh an interesting point!

Don't mind me. I'm just thinking about whether Gerry ever missed his honorary uncle-grandad Michael Sherry after Gertrude expunged him?

Or perhaps it was a different world when Michael was the extremely gentle, supportive person in Gerry's life who called him sweetheart and beloved in that exceedingly soft way that only a safe parental figure can do and helped him paint his nails black and gave him his first shiny, black leather duster when he dropped out of school and helped him during his gay crisis when he was 24.

Mag 68

Hey look, it's the only person in the world who is a fan of the Institute instead of thinking it's a joke of an organisation full of frauds and crazy people. Too bad he's some kind of nutjob conspiracy theorist.

Also, I might just be reading into this, but his description of himself as an artist makes me think this guy is Extinction-aligned.

Oh 🥺

Wow, sorry, I genuinely got choked up over this. The holidays were really hard (my family were particularly difficult this year) and I really wasn't expecting to get slammed in the gut by something about art and inner beauty in the messed up disease book episode.

John Amherst sucks, but he went off with this. If men ever stare at you and make weird unsolicited comments, you can simply end the conversation by immediately dying in front of them.

But he's not staying dead for long apparently! I know it's normal for avatars to experience one death, but do we know any others who just keep continually dying like this? I wouldn't associate immorality with the Corruption, but maybe it's a necessary component of serving this Entity? If people like Amherst and Prentiss didn't have some kind of force tethering them to life, surely they'd pretty immediately rot away to nothing.

What an adorable little nerd. This guy is so lucky he didn't give a live statement. Jon would have torn him to shreds over this, I can't even imagine what Gertrude would have done to him.

Oh you poor unfortunate idiot. RIP.

Man i feel so bad for Joseph Russo, the statement giver in mag 68. He was like the number one Magnus Institute fanboy and was so excited he found something potentially supernatural. He's so enthusiastic about the whole thing then he gets got by the field hospital Leitner almost immediately. Poor guy.

MAG 68: The Tale of a Field Hospital

[Day 68/200]

There was only one man who kept in his conduct a sense of decorum, yet I cannot recall it with any fondness. He wore his uniform precisely about him, and though perspiration assailed his face as he worked on his maudlin task not a drop of it ever touched his jacket. He would gaze at me levelly when I watched him work. I fancied the flies flew thicker over whatever grave he worked upon.

mag 68 - the tale of a field hospital

alright, people have talked plenty about the supplemental in here, which is cool and all, but i think we're all ignoring the true highlight of the episode:

joseph russo. top 5 statement givers.

like, he's just such a cool and enthusiastic guy, and also pretty much the only person that's had a really positive view of the institute. the way he's just so enthusiastic to tell them about the weird shit he found, and treats it like a meet-and-greet with a celebrity. plus, lore drop - leak in '99? tell me more please. i guess that would be what really brought the institute into public consciousness, which quite honestly could be a proper pr strategy. or, like, a get-more-people-to-tell-us-their-traumatizing-tales strategy. also, love his little artist thing

so sad he's dead and we never find out anything more about him

anyways - isn't it interesting how the corruption has a whole schtick with reanimation or bringing dead things back alive? i mean, obivously death and rot are closely tied, but you'd think the end would do more with it. but between john amherst being brought back to life and jane prentiss essentially being a maggot-controlled zombie, it kinda ends up being a corruption thing

I wonder what Joseph Merrick is also known as

[fuckthisshitimin]

I'm relistening to MAG 68 and the statement giveer mentions statements leaking in 1999. That's the year The Magnus Protocol takes place, right?

Johnny Sims is not known for his well kept timeliness but this would make sense.

As the next episode says, thoughts for the day.

First minute of mag 68 and I already have questions:

what the fuck is this story about leaked statements from the Magnus archives? What happened? Who did it? Can we have more information about it?
