    //Clicking the link "The Order of Moonlighters" would take you to a Nexus video. If you click play, it starts with a simple black screen. Then, from the darkness, lights began to appear - little lights flickering and shining like stars in the great cosmic expanse. And a voice began speaking://

    "When you think of the Fringe... Or really, just the universe as a whole... What is your take?"

    //The stars continue to multiply, cosmic dust begins to swirl, planets forming, galaxies expanding.//

    "Are we really just a hopeless lot fighting in vain against forces of chaos?"

    //Scenes of destruction play out: war and sickness, idleness and tyrants, entire planets cracking apart and exploding in an unceremonious fashion.//

    "... Or - do you see what I see?"

    //Now there was life blooming on every corner of space, ships crossing from star system to star system, and people living their day to day lives. Battle-hardened heroes helping others, public speakers inspiring crowds of people, groups of friends diving deep into unexplored territory and triumphantly raising hands full of treasure and mysterious artifacts.//

    "Untamed expanses of creation... A wild frontier... Endless opportunity... Freedom. The ability to take risks, defy odds, and take control of your own life. A chance to make something new of yourself, and to inspire others to do the same..."

    //Now the image zoomed out, and in its place, what might be described as an eye of god taking in all of this and more from a cyan-hued sun. Then it zoomed out further - it was no god, and it was no sun, but a man - one with the outward appearance of a Novakid, but with metal hands - and of course, the eye, and a pair of lips, forming a smile.//

    "That is what I see in the Fringe."

    //The cyan man stood in darkness, only his face and hands really showing due to the glow of his head and the glow from his arms sneaking out of his sleeves to reflect off his shiny metal hands.//

    "My name is Lost Reborn. Several years ago, I became a bit famous for founding a guild called the Order of Moonlighters."

    //A symbol appeared in the darkness behind him: a seagull eclipsing a blue sun, with a starbrand on its underbelly.//

    "Our goal was to provide a new home for those who felt they didn't belong, that they had nowhere to go. We promoted ideals of freedom, entrepreneurship, and inner peace in a time when there was very little stability in the Fringe. We brought hope where we could during a time when hope was at a low point. With time, however, our guild... Broke up."

    //The symbol seemed to catch fire and burn, until there was nothing left but ashes and Lost in the darkness again.//

    "There were various reasons for it... Most of us simply moved on to bigger and better things, and ultimately the structure of the guild was unable to continue, so it was disbanded, only to be left a memory in the back of our minds of what we could do."

    //There was a moment of silence, before Lost suddenly smirked, and his glow became brighter.//

    "Yeah, right. As if that's where the story ends."

    //Behind him, the ashes began swirling and swirling, forming a pristine, marble-white egg, and as Lost continued to talk, it began to glow an electric blue, slowly growing brighter and brighter.//

    "Over the years, we've learned from our mistakes, honed our skills, and worked quietly behind the scenes as we watched the Fringe grow and change. We've seen all walks of life come and go, we've survived our share of tragedy and loss, and we've done what we can to rebuild what we lost."

    //He held up his metal right hand, and a light shown down upon him, more clearly illuminating his dark gray tricorne hat, coat, and outfit.//

    "Now it is time... To announce our comeback."

    //Lost snapped his metal fingers on his raised hand, and the egg literally exploded, and the light of the explosion revealed the silhouettes of several other people posing in a V-shape formation next to him, all standing tall and proud.//

    "We are the Reborn Order of Moonlighters! We still stand for freedom. We still stand for entrepreneurship. We still stand for finding one's inner peace."

    //From the explosion, a shrill, powerful bird cry sounded, and there emerged, where the seagull once was, a blazing blue phoenix adorned with an all-seeing eye - the new symbol for the Reborn Order of Moonlighters.//

    "And we will always stand for hope."

    //Now the spotlights shown down on the silhouettes. Immediately flanking Lost were two young women, a human with fiery red hair tied back in a bun, and a synthetic human with messy black hair and bright purple optics. At their respective sides stood a feminine Novakid with a musical note Starbrand and another young synthetic human girl with light red hair. At the tail ends of the V-shape stand an android with a floating head and headphones and a woman who appears as though her DNA was spliced with a black widow spider's, with a wild and crazy afro, six arms, and eight gleeful eyes.//

    "If you seek a new place to call home and a life filled with adventure and meaning..."

    //He held out his hand, invitingly, and gave one last little smirk.//

    "Come find us."

    //The video ends, only playing a gif of the new Moonlighters symbol, the blue phoenix with the all-seeing eye, continuing to dispel the darkness. Underneath the symbol, the acronym R.O.O.M. appears, with the words "Reborn Order of Moonlighters" spelled out underneath.//
