"I was like a little baby chicken, breaking through to explore the unknown. Leaving Earth behind, a shell of its former self." ― "Mischief"
Description
The fourth episode of the Interface series titled 'Bear Witness', published on May 1st 2018 by 'u m a m i'. This episode directly continues from Interface Episode 05 and follows Henryk and Mischief in the Museum of Fine Arts located in Montreal.
Synopsis
The episode begins in the elevator leading to the higher levels of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Henryk and Mischief emerge into a large room with a singular painting next to the elevator (see: Painting). An intercom/PA system announces that the museum will be closing shortly, casually interrupting Mischief throughout. They both inspect the painting and this causes Henryk to have flashbacks about his family. Notable memories include his wife's funeral, the nuclear blast (see: Operation Tumbler-Snapper) and images of the ship's hull seen in Episode 01. Henryk's daughter (unnamed) speaks throughout the flashback questioning his mortality. The episode ends with Henryk on the floor and Mischief visibly distressed.
Notes
Morse Code Message
At the beginning of the episode in the elevator there is a hidden Morse code sequence. This can be translated to "NIPS" which is a reference to the Misc. video 'Tinky Winky's Tubby Time'.
Operation Tumbler-Snapper
It is believed, but not confirmed, that Henryk was the photographer responsible for taking pictures of the nuclear blasts generated in the "Tumbler-Snapper"[1] test series. In the video you can see Henryk being hit by the shock wave caused by the blast but remaining intact, further proving the theory of his invincibility.
Painting
The painting featured in this episode is titled 'Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man'[2] by Salvador Dalí, created in 1943. It acts as a metaphor showing how Mischief and possibly Henryk were breaking free of Earth and joining a "shell of its former self".
