Lyra Lauren #
Lyra Lauren is the younger sister of Ren and the daughter of Elena and Dallus Lauren. Her mother goes into labour with her during Operation Trinity, where her family is extracted to the DTC for their involvement with the Mantra Cult. She is born shortly after the operation, in the safety of Arc/Hive.
She tragically passes away young while being driven home by her father from the Gat3keeper theme park in 2024.
Backstory #
The start of Lyra’s life was very rocky, with her mother going into labour while escaping Novosovia after the fall of Mantra in December 2020. She ended up being born safely at ARC/HIVE, with her family successfully escaping.
Mares #
Lyra’s father Dallus suffered from mares as a result of the events around the Mantra cult. The young child suffered from the same affliction, manifesting the sleep paralysis demon-like creatures, despite not being born into the cult. According to Dr. Elias Mortem in the Project D.U.S.T. proposal, this suggests that mares can be passed down epigenetically.
We see drawings by one of Dallus’ children in project proposal and (likely) the in the dark music video, which centers around Dallus and his trauma. The drawings in the 2021 proposal belong to Ren, since Lyra is still an infant.
Car Crash #
On the 5th of November 2024 Lyra Lauren mysteriously dies in a car crash, as we learn from the Daily Whisper article on Gat3keeper. Gat3keeper was a technologically advanced theme park, where many ended up losing their lives. Many of these incidents involved an AI named Celesta, whose first reported malfunctioning was in 2036.
On the night of the car crash, Dallus Lauren was driving his children Ren and Lyra home in routine traffic after visiting the park. Although the circumstances seemed normal, an accident occurred, which the officials ruled as a driver error. Rumours still circulated that the park had somehow influenced Dallus while driving that day, speculating about AI malfunctions and experimental features at the park.
The in the dark video also contains flashes of a car, and Rebecca mentions the crash in her
2036 Grumblr post. This post was also made on the 25th of November, meaning Rebecca first worked
with him shortly after the 12-year anniversary of her death.
