The Starset lore Part I: Transmissions

spoiler

Hi, guys! Following the Starset lore is sometimes difficult and many people get lost (and I say this because I feel lost myself). I've been looking for a post that sums up everything we already know and some of the most remarkable theories we've got (possibly citing where they found each piece of information, so that we can follow the story by ourselves), but I haven't found any (I've seen 'The Prox Transmissions' summaries and stuff like that, but I'm talking about something bigger than that). So I would like to present all I've come to know so far, in case this can help other people to put all the pieces together. Of course, if you still haven't researched by yourself or read the book, maybe you'd rather prefer not to read this post because it's going to be aaaall spoilers. I apologize in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes (I'm not a native English speaker); any corrections on my writing will be welcome (but be polite, please!).

I'd say that we have two story lines so far. The first one is contained in Transmissions (album) and The Prox Transmissions (book). The second one is contained in Divisions (album). In the middle, we have Vessels (album), whose meaning doesn't seem clear. But we know that Dustin is writing another book, as he has confirmed to many fans during VIP sessions (thank you for the info, u/camskidmore9). This second novel (that might be published this year!) will be set before the story in Divisions. Given that 'The Prox Transmissions' came out 3 years after Transmissions (album) release, I guess that the new book will explain many things around Vessels and maybe will bridge these two story lines.

But let's start from the beginning.

First of all, we have the story narrated in the book The Prox Transmissions

.

In New Year's Eve 2012, a SETI astronomer called Stephen Browning received a transmission from the outer space (from the Bernard's star). Browning managed to decode the title of the transmission:

FECNUM: 01022047 CONTENTS: 90MB SUBJECT: IF BORDEN IS CORRECT, YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS 1.1.2013, THE YEAR WHEN [CONT IN BODY]

The body of the text was encrypted, so he turned to Aston Wise, a rich research engineer with plenty of resources. They find themselves pursued by an organization called USCOO (the leader a man called Charles Stignum) that wants to have the contents of the transmission. Browning and Wise discover that the transmission was also found in 1979 by Browning's professor Dr. Gregor in 1979. Another man who also found the 1979 transmission (called Edgar Thompson), helped them understand the code to decrypt the text. Browning and Wise had already deduced it came from the future (from January the 2nd of 2047). Once decrypted, they get a video.

They could see a "desolate twilight terrain from above in the deep orange, red, and pinks of an other-wordly sunset". A man who was wearing a metallic helmet with a clear visor and a slick grey and white body suit (in brief, a space suit), started speaking:

It is January 2, 2047. A small group of men have acquired the source of an incredible power. The men controlling this power -once believed to have the potential for endless good- have used it to exploit their fellow men. I am Thomas Bell. If Mr. Borden's modifications have been successful, you are receiving this thirty-four years ago, in the year 2013 -the time when it could have all been avoided. Please take heed of the following transmissions.

After that, a robot provided with an AI, called Quasi, starts talking and tells our protagonists that they've got three transmissions. The first one being "an account of the historical events that left the Earth in chaos under a totalitarian regime". The second one, being a biographical account of the life of Thomas Bell, comprised of various sources. The last one is a series of blueprints of the technology that has caused that totalitarian regime to happen. In the book, we're told about the first transmission, which basically tells us a brief history of the future:

In 1972, Dutch astronomer Peter De Kamp discovered a terrestrial planet orbiting Bernard's star, called Proxy Earth or PROX. This planet doesn't rotate, so it has one side in eternal sunlight and another one in eternal darkness. The only place which had temperatures that made life possible was at the boundaries of these two hemispheres, a region known by the name of Star Set (because from the surface the sun appeared to be eternally setting on the horizon). After that, the US Government started a secret program called 'The Proximity Earth Colonization Project'.

In 2021, someone invented a very small hot fusion device. This research was bought by a small group of billionaires so, in 2024, scientists got a Nearly Infinite Energy Mechanism (or NIEM). The group of billionaires set a corporation called Free Energy Corporation (or FEC). By means of speculative strategy, FEC managed to take control over the global energy market. With that huge income, they started a research that gave life, in 2035, to a device called the Everything Machine: a volumetric printer that had the ability to copy and print any three dimensional object by modifying atoms. Having the monopoly on the Everything Machines, FEC took control over the global industries too, until a jobless class reached the 80% of the population. These people were sent to the 'Growth Zones' which were basically concentration camps. The rest of the people were sent to cities known as 'Forts'.

A police force called the Dept. of Civil Vigilance and Recovery (CVR), labeled as Carnivores, had the mission to squash any opposition to the FEC. Meanwhile, a resistance network began to rise, the National Freedom Alliance (NFA). Because of that, a special election on June 1st of 2035 gave the FEC control of the government. Then, they discovered the Proximity Earth Colonization Project that had been held secret. By this time, the project had managed to build ion thrusters that could travel ad .9 light years per year. Also, giant terraformers had been sent to PROX to convert the carbon dioxide to breathable oxygen.

The civil war started by the NFA uprising finished on August 16th 2035, when the NFA waged a full-scale attack on all major FEC strongholds and bases. The offensive was successful (only FEC bases in Chicago and Washington were spared), so many powerful FEC members and their families decided to escape to PROX.

The second transmission isn't provided in the book, but there's a short comic

 available online called 'The Prox Transmission' that sums up Thomas Bell's life (thanks, u/NoobeZento, for sharing this link in one of your posts):

In 2032 [there's an incongruity here, because the comic says 2032, but the book says 2035 instead], Thomas Bell lived in Washington DC. His parents were part of the military security specialists that protected a powerful FEC supporting member of the US Senate. This man had a daughter, called Haley Rochester. Haley and Thomas were 12 years old in 2032 and they were very close friends. On August 16th, when the NFA launched their massive attack, Haley's family escaped to PROX. At the age of 14, Thomas Bell decided to move to Chicago (which, if you remember, was one of FEC surviving bases) and spent 7 years there trying to infiltrate the FEC space program in order to get to Haley. On September 19th, he lifted off on a transport supply ship to PROX as a communications technician. He got to PROX on July 17th, 2046.

Thomas Bell's supervisor, Dr. Borden, was the inventor of a device that made instant communications between the Earth and PROX possible; he also was a sympathizer of the NFA. Dr. Borden found out that his machine was able to send communications to the past, but he kept it secret from the FEC. One day, he received a communication coming from the dark side of PROX. It was a distress signal whose voice matched with Haley's. In that moment, Thomas decided to go find her and, given the high chances of death, before leaving, used Quasi to send the transmissions to the Earth in 2013.

In the book again, we learn that Mr. Borden made a mistake and sent the transmissions not only to 2013, but also in other moments of the past. The first person in history noticing a signal from outer space was Nikola Tesla, in 1911. Unable to decode it, Tesla founded the Order of Teslonia with Guglielmo Marconi, hoping to protect this information and, eventually, decode it. Tesla's financier, J.P. Morgan, was suspicious of the scientist's activities, so he used the Collective of Industrialists (a group of powerful US industrialists founded in 1891) to investigate the Order. 34 years later, in 1945, the signal from Bernard's star arrived to Earth again, and this time the Order managed to receive and decode it. After that, the COI intensified their efforts to get the message too, so in 1953 they sent a letter to the US government asking for special provisions in order to get more information from the order. Afraid of the Order being helpful for the Soviet Union, the US government gave the COI government inclusion, bringing about the US Capitalism Oversight Organization (known as USCOO). In 1979, NASA intercepted the signal again and the USCOO managed to get it, but couldn't decrypt the whole message. In this moment, Dr. Gregor discovered the signal and we reach 2013 again, when Stephen Browning receives the signal too and decodes it with Wise.

After learning all of this from the transmissions, Browning finally finds Dr. Gregor, who leads him to a secret location in the US. There, in the underground, was the secret Order of Teslonia Phase II Research Facility, sort of a little town that looked almost like a utopia. Its motto was Ignorance : Slavery :: Knowledge : Freedom. There, Dr. Gregor shows Browning an Everything Machine: after the 1945 signal was caught, the Order could decrypt the signal in 1947 and find the third transmission (the one that contained the blueprints of the Everything Machine). They finished building the device in 1973. Since then, the Order has lived secretly in this utopian underground village, thanks to the Everything Machine.

In 1991, the Order built a replica of the device Thomas Bell used to send the transmission. They've used it to send messages to PROX, but they have never received an answer. From that, Dr. Gregor deduces that they are "losing the battle for the future":

"To win the future back, we had to ask ourselves what might be keeping PROX silent? What group could result in a society so plateaued that PROX is never colonized? What group could be-"

"The USCOO," Browning interjected.

"Precisely," Gregor said. "But I think your work has changed all of that".

While Browning is exploring this fascinating facility, we learn that in one of the labs a man, called Dr. Vertain is using a device with a girl (a character of the book called Dana of whom I haven't spoken because this """summary""" is already getting very long). Dr. Vertain says it's called Brain Machine Interface (keep this in mind!) and explains how it works:

Right now, the retinas in your eyes are converting these images to electric signals that are being sent through your optic nerve to the occipital lobe of your brain waves. The interface on your head is able to sense those signals with a high degree of accuracy. In this calibration process, we are simply calculating the transfer function necessary to transform those brain waves back into the image -which I can then visualize on my screen. The best part is, once I have that mathematical function, I can use it to see anything you see... or think.

Also, we're told how this BMI looks:

(...) he was holding a hollow metallic hemisphere made up of what appeared to be hundreds of tiny electrodes, each arranged in a complex sort of geodesic pattern and interconnected with tiny wires. In the center of each electrode, a green LED glowed.

We don't get to know by the book anything more about the BMI: What did Dr. Vertain and Dr. Gregor obtain from using it with Dana? Who invented it and what was their purpose? Why did they hide it from Browning? And most important of all... how does this relate to the BMI we see in Divisions? I'll come back to this matter later.

In the meantime, Aston Wise is trying to stop Charles Stignum (remember, he's the leader of the USCOO now) from showing the Everything Machine to 5 of the most powerful men in the US (he's got the blueprints from Dana, who was actually a spy, but these are just details). The EM is functional and Wise succeeds in defeating Stignum, but another member of the USCOO board (called Gibby) takes control over it. However, a week later, Dr. Gregor appears at Gibby's house carrying the BMI "helmet". We don't know what happened next after that.

Months later, Wise is trying to build his own Energy Device in the basement of Wise Engineering building. He has a new assistant called Lara Godfrey. Also, he's visited by Dr. Gregor too, who shows him the Order's facility. There, Wise is told he is a hero because he has fixed the future. Hours later after destroying Stignum's plans, another transmission with a video arrived:

Just as in the original Transmission, the screen was filled with a deep orange-red light, only now he could actually see Bernard's star -a massive red hemisphere which crested above the horizon, filling much of the far background.

Unlike the First Transmission, there weren't mountains in the background, but structures. These weren't the rugged tent-like domiciles or round pressure vessels one might expect in space, but sturdy buildings made of something resembling concrete. They were rectangular. (...) Although the background was a sea of dirt, the foreground was filled with a large patch of dark green grass.

(...) Little about the sight seemed extraterrestrial. (...) What struck him was the fact that the man wasn't wearing a helmet. He was breathing the air.

The man in the video used the same expression that was popular in the Order ("With purpose") and said:

As instructed in the Doctrines, we are sending this message to you from the year 2049 on the day before our twentieth year of Earth age. You are receiving this on April 2nd, 2013! (...) Tomorrow is the day we've waited for! Engineering day! We've performed all of our tasks in accordance to the Doctrine. We've mined our genetic-

And, then, Dr. Gregor stops the transmission. He explains that those were the first colonists of the Order, "the Pilgrims of the new philosophy". So the Order has their own space program: they are planning to colonize PROX by printing the colonists. By destroying the USCOO, Wise has given advantage to the Order in this plan. After showing all this to Wise, Dr. Gregor tells him that, actually, his role in destroying the USCOO was rather insignificant, so he's not useful at all. Right after this, they induce him into amnesia.

In the end, Wise wakes up on April 9th not remembering anything between this day and New Year's Eve. He finds out a subdermal RFID under his skin, though, and it contains a manuscript telling the whole 'The Prox Transmissions' story we read in the book. We know that Browning is part of the Order, but we don't know what the Order exactly plans. Inspired by all these events, Wise decides to found The Starset Society, whose first project is the release of the Second Transmission, and installs a dish pointed to PROX in order to discover any other transmissions. Oddly enough, he chooses the same motto as the Order: Ignorance : Slavery :: Knowledge : Freedom.

On March 22nd of 2015, he gets one message from PROX:

01001000 01000101 01001100 01010000

Which, converted in hexadecimal and then transformed with ASCII code, translated to:

HELP

And this is how the book ends. Starset's web had a useful timeline back in 2018 that summed up some of these events. You can still see the timeline here

.

From these last pages of the book, we can deduce that Transmissions is actually the Second Transmission, telling the story of Thomas Bell trying to get to his beloved friend Haley. Also Dustin Bates confirmed this:

I drew from Thomas's life story and his Message. His story is amazing and I was able to use it to hopefully create a picture of love and light triumphing over resistance in a dark world. The Message provided that world. The resistance. It also provided the themes of future, space, and technology. Hopefully people feel that element of realistic positivity and hope in it. And hopefully it inspires people to look further into the Message when it comes out.

Many users have explained the songs lyrics on the basis of this idea, for example here

.

My Demons musical video

 is a dramatization commissioned by The Starset Society showing Thomas Bell in PROX in 2047 as he looked like in the transmission. It also shows the Allen Institute in 2013, when Browning received the transmission and Tesla's discovery in 1911. Basically, we could consider it a trailer of the book.

Halo musical video

 shows one of FEC's ships arriving to PROX in 2044. We see Dr. Borden's research bunker and Haley being kidnapped by two men. It looks like in the end Thomas manages to find her and rescue her.

Carnivore musical video

 starts with images of Chicago and Washington DC Forts in 2035 (remember this is the year when the NFA almost defeats the FEC). Also, remember that Carnivore is the name that people use to refer to the CVR, the FEC's militar force. This video basically shows the rebels, the police repression and the conditions of living under the FEC's totalitarian regime.

I think that all the story behind Transmissions is pretty clear, though there are some questions left unanswered by the book:

Given that Vessels story is not that clear (and, as I said, I think we'll understand it once the second book is published, the same way Transmissions lyrics and musical videos are comprehensive once you read the novel), I'll skip that part and explain the second story line, the one presented in Divisions. But that will be in another post, hope this one helps! Feel free to correct any mistakes or to add any information that could be important :)

  1. VESSELS MEDIA / VIDEOS:
  1. EYEZ Campaign SYNOPSIS: in 2017, prior to Vessels release, the official band/band members' social media accounts were reportedly ‘hacked’ by an unknown entity called the EYEZ. There were official posts made from both their record label at the time (Razor & Tie) and Dustin, himself, regarding this incident. Also, mysterious, graffitied pictures of famous, big-name brands started to surface on their accounts, which was another part of the EYEZ ‘campaign’. Concurrently, nearly all of the main Starset accounts were mysteriously, temporarily wiped of avatars/posts. There was also a livestream that was uploaded of a mysterious, closed-doors meeting taking place. Pics and links to everything included below.

  1. BMI CARD/TSS: THE HORIZON PAMPHLET-handouts were given out to fans attending the Divisions Tour in the fall of 2019. The BMI card was a pocket-sized card given out at NEW WEST-themed shows. The TSS: THE HORIZON PAMPHLET was a larger booklet given out at the REBELS shows. Both introduced/built on more of the ongoing lore, and briefed Messengers on using the newly introduced Starset AR app. They also introduced ‘BMI’ technology (Brain Machine Interface) and more on The Message/The Architecture/The Architect. Pics of both below:

 

  1. The BMI TRANSPARENCY was given out during VIP at a handful of early shows on the Divisions Fall Tour in 2019; it is a larger advertisement for BMI technology as well as instructions on how to use the Starset AR app. It was very easily damaged, so forgive the somewhat eroded quality of the pic below. (ALSO OF NOTE: VIP guests were given ‘BMI’ dot stickers to wear during the shows this tour, as referenced in the BMI handouts.)

  1. TSS-MISSION video: (7/31/18) https://youtu.be/Lqu5MT1OFlU
  2. There was a media campaign lead-up to the launch of DIVISIONS, including a live-stream scavenger hunt  for a 3D printed ‘Manifest’ symbol statue (where the “PIPE” meme originated from), a series of different ‘transmissions’ appearing on their official website, and a mysterious ‘locked file’ entitled A_BRIEF_HISTORY_OF_THE_FUTURE.docx . Currently much of the ‘transmissions’ content appears to be lost, as STARSET updates their band website leading up to each new record release, but I will post what currently I have available to me, including the contents of the ‘locked file’ above. (I will update as I find new information)

  1. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FUTURE album intro monologue: (9/12/19) https://youtu.be/ZXng1JE9dmk 

“ A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FUTURE”

This place is a desert for the mind

Devoid of emotion and barren of thought

No real thought, at least

It's no surprise

Most minds here have long since atrophied from lack of use

They wait in flatline for the next rushing jolt of synthetic stimulation

The real world can't compare, even if it were allowed to

Contemplating the real world leads to seeing the world for what it is, a prison

A cell for the mind, body and soul

All my life I've been a prisoner

Cowering at the idea that I

might be capable of unique thought

Terrified of what my own instincts might lead to

So how could I blame them?

But it hasn't always been this way

I've heard rumors

Filtered, distant, faded

I seek to know the truth

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FUTURE

________________________________________________________

“AUGMENTED BILLBOARDS LITTERED THE LAND OF THE NEW WEST, HOVERING LIKE GHOSTLY REMINDERS. ETERNAL MONUMENTS, MEMORIALIZING A PLACE OF SUPPLICATION.”

-9/4/2020

_________________________________________________________

"IT WASN’T REAL IN ANY PHYSICAL SENSE, EXISTING SOLELY IN THE MINDS OF THE RESIDENTS. AND YET, IT WAS A REALITY OF CONSEQUENCE."

-9/11/2020

_________________________________________________________

"EVERYTHING WATCHED. EVERYTHING LISTENED. THE ARCHITECTURE WAS IN YOU. YOU WERE IN THE ARCHITECTURE.

 

RESIDENTS WERE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES OF THE NEW WEST, WHICH WERE NEVER PUBLISHED OR DISCUSSED. THERE WAS NO NEED—THE RULES OF THE NEW EAST WERE TRUE. INHERENT. ACTIVELY DISOBEYING RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE AUDIT. EGREGIOUS VIOLATIONS RESULTED IN SUPPLICATION. A PRISON FOR THE MIND."

-9/18/2020

__________________________________________________________

"THERE WAS NO CONTRABAND THOUGHT. THERE WERE NO CONTRABAND IDEAS."

-9/25/2020

__________________________________________________________

"UNITY THROUGH ALLEGIANCE"

-10/5/2020

__________________________________________________________

"FULLY IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES—UNOFFICIALLY KNOWN AS FROSTING—ALLOWED FOR A TEMPORARY ESCAPE FROM THE OPPRESSION OF THE NEW WEST IN THE FORM OF

VISCERAL SIMULATIONS OF THE SENSORY. THESE VACATIONS, MEMORY-REPLAYS, GAMES, AND DRUG TRIPS WERE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM REALITY."

-10/9/2020

__________________________________________________________

"FROSTING WAS THE OPIATE FOR THE MASSES."

-10/16/2020

__________________________________________________________

"A SHARED AUGMENTATION IS A SHARED REALITY."
