ExtraHost is the only uncensored host of Astarese content outside of Astarey.
It spans not only the corporate Intergalactic Network, but also the Intranational Scientific Relay, the National Defense Connector, and several smaller networks nationwide.

There were seven results. They will be presented in order of relevance.
As the Intranational Scientific Relay has grown to include secret 'pre-print' documents, a disturbing trend has arisen: a lack of regularity in writing.
Simply put, no one is writing seriously anymore. Anomalous phrasings such as "I think that...," "it seems that...," and "simply put, no one is..."

In the strongest phrasing possible: do not screw this up for us. You may have heard Astarey described in disparaging terms before...
"A hive of imbeciles," perhaps. Its government agencies do seem quite ineffective in getting rid of anomalous people, though they can sometimes handle objects.
But if you're the type to not have figured it out yet... well, maybe you haven't wondered why it's only the little artifacts that get captured.
You should wonder. Think about why such a seemingly imbecilic country has never suffered such disasters as the Little Collapse or the Third Thaumatomic Instability.
The conclusion is obvious: Astarey's government agencies are simply providing cover for something greater, a stronger and considerably more serious organization.
It is best if we do not attract their attention.
Object Class 49 seems to be a standard tool of Enemy Commonwealth infiltration groups.
It consists of several novel components, though their purposes are not well-understood.
One component measures on a scale that has been variously translated as "deviance from norm", "grounding", and "connection".
Across Astarey, this scale shows very little variance- staying near zero.
The second component measures on a separate scale, which has been translated as "whimsy", "bedrock depth", and "holiness".
This scale likewise remains around zero in Astarey.
The other measuring components have been damaged in all instances of Object Class 49 acquired by the Esoterics Division.
It is suspected that they measure on more meaningful scales, but all attempts to repair them to date have failed.
The remaining components of each unit of Object Class 49 seem to be relatively conventional connection and power units, used across many other Enemy Commonwealth devices.
Artifact #343 is stored at the OSCA's secondary building in Mardo, near the art gallery it was found in.
Description: Artifact #343 is a small statue which demonstrates the quality of going "missing" from the memory of those who have knowledge of it.
While the basic fact of its existence is well-affirmed, specifics are missing. Affected personnel can identify its material and physical properties, but lack further knowledge.
Many state that they believe they "used to know more", and that it feels like there is a hole in their head when they try to access memories of it.
Discovery: Artifact #343 was found in the OSCA's secondary building in Mardo, with very little surviving documentation.
The name of its creator is missing from records.
The original documentation states that it was found in an art gallery, like most Category Seven Artifacts.

As with all unconscious studies, it is important to maintain quarantine between the conscious mind and the active un/subconscious.
If you begin to awaken, or other events occur, your subconscious will execute your personal Abort Code.
If you have any feelings regarding the recent past after Abort execution, report yourself as possibly contaminated.
CODENAME: Łeczai
SUPPOSITIONS: EE3 is the designation for a series of unconscious experiences related to but not limited to:
the feeling of being watched, the concept of a gap in the firmament, and the emotion of awe.
EE3, if truly extant, is suspected to be one of the largest known entities accessible via the unconscious realm.
As such, standard specific subconscious training priortizes the use of Abort Codes as a preemptive measure.
It is difficult to collect more information on EE3. However, it is near-certain that it has some knowledge of or is known by entities both extra-Astarese and intra-Astarese.
I think I get it now.
It always takes the longest time to comprehend the things that'll hurt you, doesn't it? That's the problem.
You may jerk back from a flame, but if you're smart enough... you'll suppress that instinct.
Presented with something odd, you want to understand how it works, don't you?
My former peers may have called that the impulse of the Cataloguers, those too unserious to grasp the ocean beyond the little ripples on its surface.
But they, too, have failed to see the real truth. The pain of it, the spire stabbing up from below. It is not an ocean. It is not an ocean.
But I suppose it's not all bad. I can see so much more now, and so much less now- how could one possibly care, presented with something this vast?
It obviates the other concerns, all of them. People, even the ones with a spark, seem so small. I can barely even see the little stones and monsters, now.
That's just how it goes. It's not possible to avert your gaze when you've done this. Not when you've gone where I have.
If nothing else, I have one achievement to call my own: I have locked eyes with the Sun.
