Recap of how this all connects*

Huntokar (“The Destroyer”) is the god worshipped by the secret underground city beneath the Desert Flower Bowling Alley

A Vague, Yet Menacing Government Agency has been stealing buildings from this city for over a century

The plot to remove Huntokar’s buildings has had a number of casualties, at least three of whom saw the Dark Planet as they died

Cecil has reported seeing the Dark Planet on several occasions

The Dark Planet is inhabited by cloth shrouded figures who turn in place and hum

Cloth shrouded figures who turn in place are also primary occupants of the Night Vale Post Office ever since the Great Shrieking

The so-called Apache Tracker swore to investigate the post office and the Great Shrieking

The Apache Tracker was killed by citizens of Huntokar’s city

Huntokar is also the leader of the deer-masked Night Vale Transit Authority

Both the Night Vale Transit Authority and Huntokar control and communicate through cockroaches

The Night Vale Transit Authority’s subway transports riders through space, time, and dimensions

The world was destroyed in 1983. According to Simone, Huntokar caused this.

1983 is the year that Night Vale’s sister city Nullgorsch became trapped in

A newspaper exists from 1983 claiming Nullgorsch was destroyed by a nuclear strike, no known survivors

Nullgorsch sent a submarine to Night Vale containing two items that were taken by a Vague, Yet Menacing Government Agency

Megan Wallaby’s body donor also arrived via the Nullgorschian submarine

*the relevancy of these connections is unknown and unknowable at this time

Listeners, do you ever think about the moon? I was sitting outside last night looking at the moon and I thought, does anyone actually know what that thing is? Have there been any studies on this? I went to ask Carlos, but he hasn’t been seen much since that treacherous Telly’s vile haircut. The moon’s weird though, right? It’s there, and there, and then suddenly it’s not. And it seems to be pretty far up. Is it watching us? If not, what is it watching instead? Is there something more interesting than us? Hey, watch us moon! We may not always be the best show in the universe, but we try. This has been today’s Children’s Fun Fact Science Corner.

Cecil and the Dark Planet

Just to remind you that, in addition to comparing the station to a Dark Planet Lit By No Sun when he was younger, Cecil also encountered the Dark Planet as a vision inside the Condo I'm noting this because nearly every other sighting of the Dark Planet A) Immediately precedes the viewers death and B) Connected to the movement of crates filled with buildings from the city which worships Huntokarr which could mean that Cecil is or was connected to that city

Oh yeah, I forgot – there’s a strange hole that might appear in your wall. [Carlos] said it was important to tell you, especially after what happened in the Smithwick house. I forgot. That was a while back, so I guess it doesn’t matter much now.

Cecil (belatedly) warning citizens of the hole in the Smithwick house.

The only other time Barks Ennui was when Cecil cited his slogan,

“Citizens should be alert, but not too alert! There is much that you should not see! Only you can prevent your own house mysteriously catching on fire. Woof woof!”

Cecil then expressed a wish that the Sheriff’s Secret Police declassified Barks’ image someday, because he assumed Barks was very cute
