"The mist man terrorized the Terran Union"
Mist man: *leaves water balloons in places and modifies showers to use more water*
It violations the monthly shower water ration! The gravest of crimes in the GTU
@@johnroach9026 Thank god, you beat me to it! GTU lore guy right here! xD
Water is a finite resource in this mostly barren wasteland of a galaxy, the ability to Terraform worlds into lush soil does not permit the Union's citizens to just waste water with frivolous things like balloons or unsanctioned games
@@manticorephoenix ok makes sense. I am not familiar with universe in the video.
Imagine watching your baby die of thirst because someone wanted to take 12 showers a day.
Mist Man: forgets to turn off showers
GTU: *”This is an Avengers level threat”*
I mean to be fair he didn't just waste water, he also lead a domestic terrorism campaign
@@hyperlanceitex6149 Hopefully that's what they executed 9 people for.
"Now would be a good time to get angry, physics director."
"That's my secret, Cap. I'm always angry."
*Turns into Titanic lifeform. Turns off faucet.*
“This is ‘Mist Man.’”
GTU: “Dear God”
“There’s more.”
GTU: “No!”
Will you help me kill the mist man? He keeps stealing my hard earned water.
@@Dorito8052 I can pronounce
Nice TF2 reference there.
He could be you. He could be me. He could even, be -
@@jacobs279 GTU //execute someone with shotgun to the head
IT'S OBVIOUS! HE'S A MISTMAN!!
"we are the GTU! The galaxies most dominant power! We fear no one!"
"Sir! There is a man who complains about not being allowed more than a 5 minute shower."
"Shut. Down. Everything."
I remember when the Water crimes division jokes just started and now here we are.
Can you please elaborate?
@@levb258 I'm with this guy I wasnt big into Invicta when it was going, I need a refresher.
.
@@essex3777 a... REFRESHER!? I think you're already onto it xD
@@levb258 Episode one or two of the whole thing, it's a side note in the prologue after the first contact war.
He's our wet protector,
Our washful guardian,
Our damp knight!
I laughed real hard at this
Aww that's great to hear. Hope you and all yours have a good day.
It’s the reference we deserve, and the one we need right now.
WHERSH THE PLUNGER?!! WHERSH ISH IT?
Marshal: Jesus Christ we have bigger problems than losing a little water
Assistant: Sir, The Terran Union is suffering from water shortage.
Marshal: *breathe in* *exhale* Thats it I am forming a new division...name it some garbage like the Water Crimes Division or something and let them handle this. I am going to Mercury with my kids.
Water Crimes Division: Ok how do we keep the budget coming?
Hahahahaha! This
Water Crime Divisiob: Oh I know! We'll execute someone publically. That always brings the spirits up.
It is also said he experimented on two of his most devout followers making them extraordinarily resistant to bodily damage and trained them in infiltration. They could break into any building or home and would always leave a sink running as a calling card. These super human warriors were only know as The Wet Bandits.
@@typhoon5914we gathered
GTU: No, you can’t just waist water
Mist Man: hehehe, shower head goes “pssssh”
😂😂😂😂
Of course he can't waist water, waist isn't a verb.
@@ThePCguy17 now I am just trying to figure out what "waistwater" is, and whatever it is, I don't think it's anything good
So we playing a religious empire cult of the mist man in the next season of stellaris Invicta... how moist
*Badums*
No no it’s pronounced *_M O I S T_*
The Moist Ones, led by the High Prophet of Moistness Cr1tikal
It goes by the name the Holy Solar Empire and it lost the vote to Antares.
To be honest the GTU wouldn’t actually be the worst place to live. If I had to choose between every sci fi world to go to Invicta definitely wouldn’t be the worst. That goes to war hammer 40k.
Sad gasmask noises
HERESY
i;m not sure if this is sci-fi but i wouldn't want to be a part of the world described in 'I have no mouth and i must scream'. There are only 5 humans left on Earth and they are all forced to live in perpetual torment and torture for the rest of time by a planet spanning computer named 'AM' (originally stood for Allied master-computer but AM later chose for it to be in reference to 'I think, therefore, i am). There is an old point and click adventure game based on it that i played and i think it could be worse than 40K. At least it is possible to die in 40K.
@@joshuabruce9599 "I understood that reference."
What da Grot our uniiver is da best no end of war it's brill Groting hummie
This went from serious, to a joke, to genuinely terrifying.
"hey what youre here for?"
"i bypassed shower restriction"
"You monster! You should be in solitary! I only killed someone but that is too far"
Mr. Mistman, bring me some steam
Make it the wettest that I've ever seen
Help me get past my water usage controller
Give me mods that bypass my shower
The GTU Nursery Rhyme Station presents: Mr. Mistman.
"All across the Terran Union in hushed tones the question is asked: "Who is the muffin man?""
Sooo, most probably the Mist Man from the early days of the GTU was simply an Unbidden scout who got caught, but someone forgot to seal teh clasified data, a bunch of kids found the story and decided to play evil plumber under cover of an anicent evil human mutant... Damn, I love it.
And BTW, I'm certain Water Crime Division is just a codename for GTU's secret police force. It just works
Or maybe he was a Screk observer.
"Plumbers" go out and "seal" some "leaks".
Water Crime Division is how they arrest political dissidents, like the old loitering laws. "yeah don't worry about this guy starting protests, turns out he was siphoning water a bit so we executed him. for the water of course."
Join the Temple of the Mist
Don’t mind if I do.
For millennia humanity has known the truth. We give thanks to the Gods of air and the water. We know oh Gods of your character you who watch over us from the waters, the brooks and streams. Here in Albion we gave you the blessings of the year, gave you our swords. In return you gave your life to us in the Great War. Sacrificed yourself to us to save us.
You who are own around the union in various names as Njord in the north you bless us with your winds of trade. As Father Thames in the tounge of the English and in India where you gave birth to the Ganges with your name lost in time.
Come to us oh great one in our time of need. Let the rivers flow free of imperfection in your name let us move like the waters free, able to carve the deepest valleys and put out the flames of doubt.
@@fumarc4501 take this inciate by our sign you will know us
@Antony Slack Will do. The Mist Conceals and Protects.
GTU: "I fear no man. But that thing..."
*Mist Man*
GTU: "It scares me"
Rule one of Mist club: Stay hydrated.
noice
Rule 2 be moist at all times
Rule three of Mist club: there is no Mist club.
@@ihatethatyoutubedisplaysyo8106 oh no! a paradox!
Rule Four of Mist Club: Shut the Door
This feels like an April Fools joke posted three months late.
Thats an accurate way to describe all of 2020
i'm weeping and screeching, exactly my humour
Timmy, you best turn off your faucet, or the mist man will get you!
The Mist Man is already here.
The Mist Man has always been here.
Probably just the future Emperor of Mankind killing time by playing hide and seek.
The time of the GTU is just known as The Dark Age of Technology nowdays.
"The Greater Terran Union will not fall."
Little did they know that tens of thousands of years in the future, the time of the GTU will be known as "The Dark Age of Technology."
As an industrial compliance specialist in the water profession, I could only dream of such a villain. I love that water meter bypasses and black market showerheads are part of this whole deep conspiracy.
New series of Stellaris?
Teaser?
Or... the leader!
Terra Nova Invicta!
I praise earth
Oh mother earth
God emperor
Chosen One of the Mists
... You Can't Kill The Messiah.
Mist man: *forgets to turn off faucet*
GTU command: D’ya have a loicence for ‘vat? Don’t do ya? Roight lads! Get ‘im!
Attention Terran citizens, we have noticed a spike of water usage in the area, if this is not soon altered we will be forced to enact Exterminatus
Mist Man: *Angry water bubbling*
Wait, he showered 12 times a day, and that was weird? How many times are you supposed to shower?
Not 12 times!
Like 2 times maybe a day not goddamn 12 my goodness. That's probably for people that has the bacteria phobia
That depends on your citizen tier, of course.
Yes, officer from Water Crime Division, this guy right here
I see fish
Citizens of the Union, everyone knows that the 'Mist Man' was brought to justice by Special Agent Marc Gerst. Mr. Gerst is a true hero of the Union and as such is granted the title of 'Equivalent of the High Marshall' this mean's he is legally allow to enjoy 20 minute showers. Glory to the GTU.
No he is a horrible manipulative human being and should be sent to life in prison and The Mist Man should be exonerated and praised for his work toward the uprising of the people against this oppressive regime!
This rebuttal was brought to you by The United America’s Commiserate getting ready to rebel in absence of war and waking up from this fantasy which is clearly fake... MAY GOD BLESS YOU! AND MAY GOD BLESS THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, MEXICO AND OTHER COUNTRY’S UNDER THE GTU’S THUMB!!!!!!
Al Bernard that’s it I’m getting the Ryan’s raiders
@@albernard8751 RYAN'S RAIDERS OPEN UP!
Two years late, but after watching the first few guys streams, it seems more likely that marc gets IS the mist man. After all, the best place for a serial water-waster to hide is in the organization meant to catch him.
@@Shiroya_Rumika long live the holy solar empire of Romulus Chuck 'the Mist Man'.
GTU: I fear no man, but that thing...
Mist Man: **exists**
GTU: ... it scares me.
So, this dude contracted Tyrim spores back during the first war, and set out with a twisted plot of revenge against the GTU (or some other similarly nefarious agenda)? Neat.
It would be interesting if it turned out that the Tyrum have a deep connection with water. They did spread using spores, but earth as it was during the war was a poor environment to spread... maybe they were working on the means to speed up the process, and this guy was caught in the middle?
The speculation and jokes about this character are neat limitless.
@@fumarc4501 It could be the other way around, that the Mist Man used constant water baths to keep the Tyrum spores at bay, preventing the infection, but that they were still in his body and slowly influenced his mind and body.
i like the seriousness voice when talking about illegally modifying bath tub
The Man. The Legend. The Mist.
This is the man behind the slaughter
Aka the mistman
He escaped to another dimension and conquered a post apocalyptic Earth and formed the Holy Solar Empire.
Ever wonder why the Tyrum attacked Earth? It just has so much wonderful *WATER*... doesn’t it?
Tyrum Rises Twice.
No... water is too abundant in the universe to risk invading an inhabited planet to get it. The only reason to invade earth is extermination.
@@noahhorner231 Mineral and energetic resources ? A new place to live ? The true reason behind every war was, is and always will be the resources.
@Ярослав Л In liquid form? Doubt
I wonder if Romulus Chuck’s holy solar empire in that other reality will battle the Greater Terran Union and the Antares Confederacy
On foggy nights, If you listen closely, you can hear the mist man's sorrowful moan in the wind. "I jUsT WaNt To ShOweR FoR GOd'S SaKe"
And while it is with a heavy heart that I report the loss of our comrades in arms, Ben Hislop and Eva Coré, they died as they lived, protecting Humanity to the last.
And what they helped discover not only confirms everything I believe, it has proven to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is something out there to protect humanity against.
Desolas was right. The stars look warm and inviting to us. Places to be explored, knowledge to be had, riches to be made.
But we will not always be welcome. Those who came before may not be willing to share. It is the way of things. It is inevitable.
A dark time is coming. Humanity will be tested. And while we may not know who is doing the testing or why, we must meet the challenge as we have met all others. We will succeed.
Because to do anything else would be inhuman.
We will watch the dark places, and bring illumination. There is no magic, only technology. Tools that we can master. Tools that we must master. Not just to survive, but for the betterment of Mankind.
We can, and will, take our rightful place in the stars.
This is my manifesto. I hope you will join my cause. End recording.
The Mist Man sounds so Illusive.
@@fumarc4501 Our place in the universe is more fragile than we'd like to think.
Probably because we’re a more primitive species
Compared to others
Damn I'm so glad so many people got that reference :')
This guy is Kane from Command & Conquer. Dying multiple times, mysterious origins, obsession with a specific material, very charismatic, and immensely dangerous. What if this universe is where Kane went?!
"PEACE THROUGH WATER!!!"

How did the Mist Man thing started IRL? Joke on the chat?
Shower and water rationing jokes. :3
Pretty much LMAO
That's how legends start
Probably every childhood story started as a joke around a campfire spun into the realm of mystery and legends
GTU: Defeats Tyrum
GTU's biggest threat: *ILLEGAL SHOWERHEADS*
Moisture for the Moist God!
Water For The Toilet
Toilet Paper for the toilet paper throne!
Imagine the destroyer of countless galactic civilization leaving water balloons in mailboxes as part of a grand scheme to destabilise an intergalactic nation
My guess is that it is one of the High Marshals.
My guess is he's some form of extra dementional river spirit or God or protector of mankind.
@@antonyslack1 The God-Emperor!
The God-Emperor!
Our Emperor?
I think he was genetically modified to have ocean habitability.
"Even the most advanced AI, Including Lady Gray herself" Is that the Gray I think it is?
I love how its truly legend in the sense that there are obviously bs stories about it and compelling ones too
Glory to the Greater Terran Union
Want to know a neat way to increase your water ration? You won’t regret it
All hail terra, Solaris invicta.
Down with the tyrants! Power to the people!
DOWN WITH THE UNION AND UP WITH DEMOCRACY
@@albernard8751 Ryan's Raiders going Dark
Why does this read like a SCP foundation entry.
I can't wait for the Templin Institute's 2nd season of Stellaris Invicta. If it ever comes...
It´s on its way.
It has.
I like to imagine that the mist man was a old joke made up during water rationing after the war but aliens thought it was real.
"water crime division"
So instead of "A monster will get you if you do that" the story is "There was once a traitor who did what you're doing"
Never thought I’d get goosebumps over a “serial water waster”.... 😰
Broke: Mist Man
Woke: Damp Boi
The ultimate Hydro Homie.
And now he has been lost..... to the mists of time..... 😎
Current Rebel Watch: 15
*G L O R Y T O T H E U N I O N ! ! !*
I remember hearing whispers about this Mistman in the beginnings, it's great hearing the full story.
The way I see it, the mist man is a human soldier infected by the tyrum, the first successful one,
Somehow I am reminded of both the Illusive Man, and Kane.
Really loving this second season!
When your greatest crime was being a man with a plumbing hobby
When are you planning to update the Greater Terran Union mod? It hasn't been playable in months.
Man, all this Stellaris Invicta content is really great. Is it too much to hope for a season 2? Either way, Terra Invicta!
Well, any issue is simple to resolve. Create the Holy Inquisition and let them loose to find this heretic! He is certainly a heretic.
This was an excellent piece of satire I haven't heard for a loooooong time! Long live Templin Institute!
And if this is a teaser...... YEEEESSSSSS MORE of your own work for us to enjoy !!! Long Live Templin and the GTU!
I kinda wish we'd learn more about Mist Man's movements over history. Like, while the GTU is conquering the Galaxy, just these eerie reports coming in where things just... go wrong. For no reason. Except for sightings of him.
(this message was redacted by the authority of the greater Terran Union, terra invicta!)
*GTU:* “I fear no man, no god, no nation; but that thing.”
**
*GTU:* “It scares me.”
Great job on the voice acting, it really suits the video style.
Just yesterday i finished half of third book Issac Asimov Fundation triology. While reading was pondering how would some events look in stellaris. Your video reminded me of The Mule, water obsession aside, and how maybe he would be depicted in stellaris xD
What a shadowy figure that wants to possibly wants to drown all enemies
"This is mist man joe. He comes out at night and steals people's water. Nobody knows what he is or where he comes from"
Ah yes, Kane the Illusive Joker.
What a timely reminder that I'm dehydrated and my glass is empty
if one of the pilots for season 3 is "order of the mist" or something i know what im voting for
TI: The mist man!
Me: looks at the date to make sure it isn't April first.
I was not expecting this. Though glad it has been canonised.
he’s the first high solar of the Holy Solar Empire. He called for its formation in the beginning of the GTU and after being transported to a post-nuclear war earth he created it with the GTU’s technology
Unbelievable great game idea would be an open-world rpg where you start off as a Terran colony investigator, investigating a missing transport like said in the video and exploring the universe from there with a classic Bethesda fallout open-world feeling
My favorite video since the relaunch. Excellent narration.
Is this the infamous Mist Man unmasked at last?
I haven’t seen an Institute video in awhile, to my great shame. I’m sorry to hear that Larissa left but this new narrator is EXCELLENT.
love the lore of the gtu, you should go to netflix with it
Mist Man whispers in Martin Sheen voice into the ears of those who would listen.
Also, season2 when? :D
We need more Stellaris.
Whosoever be the Mist Man, he shall be conquered as were the Wessari, the Algan, the Riksians, the Tyrum, the Unbidden, the galaxy at large. Every foe the Union has faced was conquered and overcome at some point or another and if there is this so called "man of the mist", he too will be set into the dust that lies in the wake of the Greater Terran Union.
Urban legends and myths are things that can make a world so much more fun. Things that aren't real or that many wonder as to their exact nature. It's something world builders should really try more of.
I love the idea of a boogey man created by the state as a propaganda tool, using the fascination with the unknown to instil strict water discipline amidst the youth.
So, even GTU has its own Illusive Man, huh? Except that, this time, he's a bit less audacious in his goals. :D
The Mist Man is a freedom fighter. Let our showers go!
QUESTION-Have you seen this man?
RESPONSE-Ah man, you just missed him!
CONCLUSION-He was "The Missed Man."
We need more Stellaris Invicta
Specially retrofitted steam unit? Oh, you mean a SAUNA?
I guess this means the Mist Man was a Finn all along.
Fear the sword of terra alien heretics!
Would love to see more stories like this to flesh out the Stellaris Invicta even if they end up only being just in universe myths
What, like him shooting people with a water gun?
The union will prevail,
The Water Thief!
Peace through showers!
