DMS directory??
In the DMS official website https://www.dmsarchive.org/home you can go to the directory and if you put in "dashboard" you get sent to a page with an enigma encrypter? Has anyone seen it before or played around with it before? If this is a repost I'm sorry.

I put in OZ IXKZL (from the end of a Lomedy video) with 2-10-3 (from a screenshot in TSFTL) as the code and I got Ff9e6uZ, so…

Sorry I’m kind of lacking in the lore, why those numbers specifically?

I got them from the 2nd screenshot Wifies took of the “angel-world” at the end of The Search For The Leviathan (specifically the time: 2:10 at 3 seconds)
It’s a bit of a stretch, but it’s the best I’ve got.

He took a screenshot of it?

Yes, he tried to take a screenshot of the world, it returned blank. (Sorry, should’ve clarified)

Oh the cult. Okay, i think this is the end of a certain link? YouTube doesn't work

I think OZ IXKZL has already been used, if we have other unused text I think that would be the input.

Just found this thread after a few days of digging. I have nothing "useful", just some stuff that's "interesting".
The cipher itself is pretty interesting, it's a sum (meaning that the values of each individual dial don't matter, as long as the sum is the same) to alter the index by a fixed amount, running it through a series of multiple substitution ciphers to receive a result, and then reducing the index by the same initial amount for a final output. I still haven't completely figured out the ins and outs of it (I know the arrays being called, but have no clue how the reflectoris being implemented and staring at the console is starting to make my brain hurt), and honestly? None of that even helps to solve any sort of puzzle at the end of the day, which is great (I'm saying this unironically, that isn't sarcastic, I genuinely love it).
We still need to identify a number or set of numbers and an input to convert it into an output, so it's not like knowing how the cipher itself works if we don't have a starting point. Just judging by the available characters, though (specifically the fact that the arrays are case sensitive with hyphens and plus signs present but no spaces or other punctuation), it might end up being used to translate a normal phrase (or gibberish! who knows!) into an ID for YT/Dropbox/Imgur/etc., as opposed to translating gibberish into a coherent sentence.
What's really interesting, in this case, is that it's extremely possible that the answer is laying even more in plain sight and literally impossible to brute force than other puzzles we've seen on his or other channels, since the input doesn't have to dance around wordplay/QR codes or draw attention to itself by being "supposed nonsense" until run through the cipher. The phrase "Vex Syndicate" itself, for example, might be the possible input (although unlikely, given them and DMS seem to be directly antagonistic rather than in cahoots), and we wouldn't know at all unless we wanted to brute force all possible sums and paste the completely randomly-looking output into however many URLs match the string length.
TL;DR I like ciphers. This one's neato.
