An Undercover Officer Contacted Us...

"An Undercover Officer Contacted Us..." is a 41:20 minute video of Season 1 in Project 863 which aired on January 15th, 2021. In this episode, Matt receives a mysterious email from a John Doe with a possibility he might be involved in the recent mess of the keys. After chatting on google hangouts, we learn some new information concerning an investigation and the Mercury Mountaineer. However, things remain cryptic.

Plot

 * Matt, Sam, and Woods go over a really curious email that was sent to Matt's personal email
 * Email: John Doe (0accipiters0@gmail.com)

Hello.

There hasn't been any other way to contact you, so I hope this makes it through; this isn't secure so we need to be careful.

We need to talk. I've been following along to your videos for a while now and everything is setting off old alarm bells, for me. I have some information that might help you in your investigation.

Before you start, check and see if you still have the 843 American Flag key, we were tracking of that one for months. That will prove my authenticity.

Respond ASAP.


 * Sam says that the 843 key has never shown up on camera and that no one can know what it looks like (since then, fans have taken multiple screenshots of the actual key)


 * Matt offers to google hangout with the sender of the email
 * (M is Matt, A is Accipiters)


 * M: Are you there?


 * A: Yes.


 * M: I figured this would be faster than an email chain.


 * A: Are you currently on an encrypted line?


 * M: No, I don't think we are.


 * A: Are you in your studio?


 * M: I dont feel comfortable answering that.


 * A: I can't confirm a secure location. There is only so much I can tell you.


 * M: Who are you?


 * A: I cannot share that at this time.


 * M: Why?


 * A: For security purposes; you don't have an encrypted line.


 * M: How do we know you're on our side?


 * A: I'm not on anyone's side. I'm trying to find answers too.


 * M: Why?


 * A: My investigation was officially shut down years ago and it wasn't until your videos started making waves that I realized there might be some truth to my old working theories.


 * M: What do you want?


 * A: Resolution.


 * M: We want answers.


 * A: Go ahead, then.


 * M: We found a corrosive liquid in our studio that ate away at the second floor of our studio. Have you ever come across anything like that


 * A: That's classified, I don't have the clearance.


 * M: Have you ever come around a red mercury mountaineer?


 * A: I need to know the vin number.


 * M: There are multiple?


 * A: I repeat, the vin number. I need to know which one you're referring to.


 * M: How many red mercury mountaineers are there?


 * A: I cannot respond further until I get a vin number.


 * M: 4M2ZU66K63UJ08041


 * A: Damn...


 * M: ?


 * A: It's the same one, it's show up before. I assume you've found "stuff" inside it?


 * M: Everything we've found we've shared online.


 * A: You haven't found everything. There's more inside of it.


 * M: What? What else?


 * A: I'm not sure.


 * M: Have there been previous incidents at this address that you have investigated?


 * A: Yes, but there was a special unit that was sent out. It was years ago, before that building you're in was split into individual units. There might be records to view, I will get in touch if I found anything on that. I want to ask a question now. How many keys are in that red box?


 * M: Around 50


 * A: Fascinating. And the key I first emailed you about, you said you have possession of it?


 * M: Yes, how did you know?


 * A: Because I have that one too.


 * M: How?


 * A: I have a working theory, but it's very bare bones right now. There's not enough information, so I would sound insane sharing it.


 * M: Is the LAPD watching, are they aware of this?


 * A: They are actively shutting down anyone looking into this. Be careful.


 * M: Theres a LAPD case we found in our studio plugged into power and ethernet cord, do you know what that might be?


 * A: Where is it plugged into?


 * M: Under the stairs, we haven't followed the cable.


 * A: I advise you disconnect and investigate immediately. It is crucial that you inform me of any developments here.


 * M: Does it belong to the LAPD?


 * A: The case does, yes. Or rather, some inside the LAPD.


 * M: Does 863 mean anything to you?


 * A: It's a black hole.


 * M: What do you mean?


 * A: Aren't you living it?


 * M: Do you know of a Syphus?


 * A: Yes.


 * M: Who is he?


 * A: He's all that's left. Times up. Secure your lines and we can talk more. I want to make a drop, I will reach out to coordinate.


 * M: When? ??

Trivia

 * In this episode, towards the beginning, you can see that Matt is weird an "M" pin which looks similar to his old logo on the old Matthias Channel (pre DOPE or NOPE channel)
