The Trinity Desk Project was an Analog Horror series created by Alex Casanas/Mister Manticore, who also created CORNERFOLKLORE, THE MONUMENT MYTHOS, and The Ningen. Like The Monument Mythos, it combines the concept of analog horror with Alternate History. The series takes the form of found footage and archival videos depicting an America where the Manhattan Project became the Trinity Desk Project, which is based on the real-life myth of the Philadelphia Experiment. This project would result in the ability to make objects and living things invisible, including the titular Trinity Desk. However, it would appear as though this project would unleash terrible and unforeseen consequences beyond invisible furniture.The videos were:

Madness Mantra: Certain segments have a phrase constantly repeating in the background, usually as the horror of the situation kicks in. The Trinity Desk has a barbershop quarter stuck on the same "Duck! And co-ver~" line as the Trinity Desk's properties and tragedies unveil. Footage of Transparent Cat has Chris Schenkel's voice from "Daisy" repeatedly announce that, "The stakes are too high for you to stay home" as Oppenheimer's invisible doppelgänger is discovered. The Other Oppenheimer is scored entirely by audio of David Ruzic saying, "This... was a natural nuclear reactor" over and over.

Gone Horribly Right: The Trinity Desk Project set out to create invisible objects and creatures. They succeeded, but ended up causing horrible tragedies because of it. The Trinity Desk itself became a hiding spot for two children, who were never found until they died after they were trapped inside.

Death of a Child: Two children end up hiding themselves within the Trinity Desk, where they end up dying. The cause of death is currently not known, but the project staff are suspected of foul play in this incident.

Breaking Old Trends: This is the first Mister Manticores series since CORNERFOLKLORE to break the established 12 video per playlist format, with the original Trinity Desk Project playlist consisting of only 5 videos. The original Trinity Desk Project playlist is also the first series to not feature a character with the last name "Tillon" in a Mister Manticore series. Videos from OtherOppenheimer onwards use camel case alliterative titles, exceed the 2:53 minute mark and feature a brand new video format altogether.

Wham Line: The Trinity Desk: CHILDREN FOUND DEAD IN TRINITY DESK. Footage of Transparent Cat: He is not alone in this photograph. Two Invisible Men: ...and saw her husky being dragged into the woods. OtherOppenheimer: To become invisible is to become hidden from Creator. To become invisible is to become left out of laws of nature. To become invisible is to become superior. For an invisible man can rule the world DevilsTowerTeeth: Rescuers did not find George Hopkins.

Wham Shot: The Trinity Desk: First, when the desk fades away to reveal the dead children's skeletons. Then, when the footage zooms out to show the sheer number of suspects. The Front Row at Nasa: As the launch countdown distorts, we zoom in on the titular Front Row - some chairs placed directly at the base of the rocket, an optimal location for incineration. Footage of Transparent Cat: "Human." At the end, we're also treated to an atom bomb detonation either rendering a person invisible, or revealing an invisible person. DevilsTowerTeeth: Over slow piano music, we view the Devil's Tower through old, monochrome footage as a duplicate tower descends from the sky, revealing that the Tower isn't a monument... it's a tooth.

comment
Invisibility: The Trinity Desk Project can turn objects and living things invisible. It's implied that this is achieved through direct exposure to a nuclear explosion. Not just that though. It also renders the person invisible to the laws of the universe.

Odd Name Out: Unlike the other episode titles, the episode titles "OtherOppenheimer" and "LibertyLung" are written with no space and in alliteration, similar to THE MONUMENT MYTHOS, implying a connection between the two.

 The Trinity Desk Project (Web Video) / int_c4b09e97
comment
Doppelgänger: It's implied by "Footage of Transparent Cat" that the Trinity Desk Project actually creates invisible duplicates, with attention being given to an invisible copy of Oppenheimer himself. Turns out this copy is "The Croatoan," and has been around since the Roanoke Colony, for some reason having an uncanny resemblance to Oppenheimer. Because Oppenheimer conceived him through exposing himself and his family members to the Trinity atomic bomb test.

Whole-Plot Reference: It's clear that the Trinity motifs and anomalous giants in the "Deskverse" and the usage of anomalies inside Monuments in the "Anatomyverse" are parallels to the Nixonverse's very own trinity and giants and the Deanverse's main premise of using Monuments respectively.
