Back in the 700's, there was an alternate header that would sometimes appear on the website. This led to http://bloodismine.webcomic.ws/watchthecityburn, with a series of posts from an alternate reality Fuse and Carpenter. At the end was a barcode, which led to https://web.archive.org/web/20180715211941js_/http://www.brotherfaith.club

This page was a black background, with a command prompt in Carpenter's signature green text.
Password:
You want to play? Let's play. All six of you are still alive THERE, right?
>Mine
Boring, stupid NURSE! Of all the people to have that power, why did it have to be HER?! Oh, well. She's dead now, so who cares?
>Michelle
Even when it was clear there was no chance, she kept fighting. It was... inspiring? Noble? Oh, wait--it was PATHETIC.
>Dr. Finch
I'm no expert but, I'm pretty sure doctorates expire when you do.
>Leopold
Come on. You know I took my good, sweet time ending Finchems. I think he started to beg, right at the end, but it sounded like gurgling to me.
>Fuse
Of COURSE he'd survive--like a cockroach. It's just a matter of time, though.
>Caius
Meatheaded oaf. Lived like an idiot, died like a moron.
>Elizabeth
Who?
>Liz
Never heard of her.
>Ms. Voclain
Even Paddywhack's own tubeslaves are betraying him! GYEEYAHAHAHA
>Grizwald
He's not one of your six, he's not important! Don't worry, though... he'll get his when I get around to it.
>Jury
She might be next on my list, but she won't help you solve this.
>Maxland (Misspelling of Macland)
Sniveling rodent! He's not part of this, though.
>Gesenai
I don't know what she sees in that clown.
>Prophet
You really think that dead lunatic has anything to do with this?
>Thale
No longer needed.
>Mav
One of those kooky cultists, right? Not part of your gang, not relevant to this.
>Bet
One of those kooky cultists, right? Not part of your gang, not relevant to this.
>Arvin
We are not on a first name basis.
>Carpenter
You're onto something ;) but I won't tell you the password that easily.
>Nil
;)
Screenshot of Lydia's response, plus dad joke.
>Lydia
(In red text)
I'm sorry.
>Blood
(Sound effect)
>Meat wall
Not so deadly. Just be prepared to move when you punch a hole in it.
>Brioprinter
Aim for the core when it's recovering from an attack.
>Shambler
That damn scream. Best to attack when it's focused on moving.
>Coder-tan
Hey! You found me. Well done. I didn't think anyone would look for me. Here I'll play the correct guess sound.
>Cat Club
Nyaa Nyaa Nyaa.
>Anything else
Don't waste my time.
Assembling the first letters from responses for the gang's members gives the password,
>BECOME
Blue hover text appears when the game is paused.
Access Granted
Entering the password led to a top-down scrolling shooter style rendition of chapter 1 where Jane has to dodge hands and eye monsters, and finally destroy the bioprinter. Winning the game reveals the message:
THE ADDRESS IS 1551 CORINTHIAN ROAD
Death screen
Which is where we found Carpenter's real hideout in Head back to the lab. This address references a bible verse which describes Carpenter's relationship with Nil, foreshadowing the reveal of their merger.
Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed - 1 Cor 15:51.
Trivia[]
The red text around Lydia's name led us to be extra cautious when sending her off in Safeguard Lydia.
TL;DR: Alt-Future Fuse sends a message to Main Timeline Fuse... or rather fails to, but the process alone subliminally plants the happening in Fuse's awareness. Mine then subconsciously acquires that knowledge from Main Timeline Fuse --Morgenstern
Chad, Matt's roommate at the time, got Morgenstern halfway into making this ARG by creating the game with Twyll and Rufiangel as a birthday present for Matt.
