Found an easter egg in the lab.

I can't take a screenshot for some reason? Anyways, I managed to get above a wall in the area your ship is parked in using charge attacks, the angled dash, and wall jumping and found a penguin floating up there.

Found it too, I was a bit surprised to find an easter egg at a place so easily reachable

I found the traveling sign and a penguin.

The traveling sign shows up again in Wild Green (I believe). Might be somewhere else as well afterward, but I haven't found it a third time yet.

Yeah I've only found the traveling sign twice. I imagine it has to appear at least a third time.

Edit: Collecting locations in this post.

Current known sign locations (4):
1) In the Arboretum in a secret path in the lowest room on the map. 2) Immediately to the left of the ship in Fungal Ruins. You'll need to scale the wall with either the jump spores or various abilities you unlock throughout the game. 3) Wild Green in the lowest area. It's in a small room with several chests near the right exit. 4) On the bell island, on the right side of the central yellow bells just past where the NPC woman moves.

Update: Just got the 3rd appearance on the Bell Island after clearing all the fog away.
Now I'm thinking there is a 4th spot.

Where was it on the bell island?

Just saw your post. I had missed the one in the Arboretum, despite having found that hidden area already. I just missed sign and took it as part of the background.

The one of Bell Island is right behind where the lady NPC moves to. To the right of the centralized yellow bells.

Given what the 4th sign post said, I'm really thinking there is at least a 5th location.

Thanks! Does seem like there's a 5th location. I added that location to my previous post so all sign locations can be collected in one place until someone wants to slap a guide together or something.

Nice work Ninefoldrin. I'm going to keep searching for a 5th location.

Btw, you wouldn't happen to have kept track of all the locations where you can read something? Mainly the bookcases in the background. There were several I came across in the first aerial 3D zone, before the fog clears from your first visit to Unreality, that I was unable to read due to having not yet unlocked that memory. I'm now trying to revisit them all to see if there is any significance to having read all reading spots.

I remember finding one in the earlier part of the game that was quite out of the way and took a lot of well timed platforming to get to. I was disappointed to discover that the reward for all my hard work was only a bookshelf that I couldn't yet read. Now I can't find that location, nor remember which island it was on. All I know is it was one of the islands you can visit in the beginning of the game before the fog first clears.

I don't remember a lot of them and I'm not even sure if I've read all of them yet. I remember getting to the top of a really tricky shaft in Pyrena that might be the one you're thinking of. I had to do a lot of work to get up there and, like yours, it was just a book I couldn't read. If that's the one you're looking for, it's in the area all the way to the left in Pyrena. The shaft you have to climb is right at the door. I think it's the same room that you fight Sen in.

Well I figured it out and it does unlock something. Turns out the last thing I hadn't read was the letter that's in your inventory the whole time. You also get conversation triggers on the ship for every time you read something from a bookcase and I hadn't done a few of those, so rereading some of the previous bookcases I had already visited triggered those. Once you've read everything and trigger the final conversation on the ship (it'll be about spore sickness) you'll unlock the Deeply Rooted achievement.

I also finally found what that pink & green key goes to. It makes me wonder if the conversation that follows with that is referring to the Easter Egg our topic creator found here, "a fellow with a beaked mask." Also, about this rather large individual you meet from that key, I further wonder if there is a way to unlock their name in the credits in place of the ??? that is displays.

Ah, so that's where that achievement came from! Was wondering since it didn't have a description lol.

Where does the key go? I was wondering about that.

Mosey Island, head left from the ship and follow the path till it ends at a door. Let me know your theories once you visit there.

Well that was certainly interesting... Honestly, your guess is as good as mine. At first I read "beaked mask" and thought he was talking about the guy who examines your items for you, but that wasn't it. Might be something of a lore teaser. There's a prequel comic book in the works and I think the devs might be considering another game in the future after a little break from Vernal, so maybe it's a hint at what might be in the sequel if that gets made. I wonder if there's still something else somewhere in the game I've missed that would have more info.
