Okay so I went and did the mirror thing immediately after checking behind me (nobody was there) and messaging Lilia (it wasn't one of her). All I know for sure is that when I turned on the detection detector it exploded.
What does it mean when a detection detector explodes?

Usually corruption, or such an excessive amount of bullshit going on that even the universe is done with this shit, or sometimes V id insists you shall not read it, or there are so many things watching you it overloaded and took the easy way out. Or you accidentally added an inappropriate rage charge and created a bomb. I am inclined to the former, but it might be Felix getting creepy. Or more than one result otherwise.
Double-check Felix to make sure he isn't leaking black ichor and screaming in broodfester, then double-check Maria to ensure she hasn't exploded into Gaster-y fragments across the session somehow, and Terry to make sure he hasn't done that either somehow, then check everyone else to ensure it's not a coplayer at fault and everyone else is alright anyways. See any doomed timeclones around you can poke for some alternative-timeline memories? Might want to flee to the Magicant and double-check for an active session disk abstraction in case he's up and about, or your debug NPC.
Then politely ask your Whisperings if they're not the gut feeling, since the Beat might happen to notice things around you that you don't and unlike the Voices of Rain are not just going to go all 'hey listen' until it's already a crisis for the sake of your fragile playerly mental stability.

Checked with the others, they all seem to be fine and not crazy mode. The Debug NPC is the glowy green asshole, right? I just noticed a big green glowy thing headed my way. Like... directly at me. Should I be running? Or am I basically just fucked if this thing is aggressive. (Can they be friendly?)

Be running? If it lacks eyes and teleports it might be the debug NPC, who should not be a threat unless you try to hit it (ignoring the fact that it can teleport fast enough to dodge sniper bullets it has durability on par with angels but as an actual part of Sburb is both not supposed to die and has more tricks to avoid doing so) or you're already dead by the time this post gets to you because all of your vital organs have been repeatedly teleported out of your body until dying stuck.
A green glowy thing is usually just Sburb's code for 'involves uranium' and sometimes 'some space but not enough to merit cosmovision in it'. Your debug NPC should be white with a green glow aura, sort of like a glow-in-the-dark star that's white, and it might just be completely white if it's not using any First Guardian sorta-Spacey powers, and those things teleport like hell inside a stable universe structure, and have no eyes. You should be running, because it is probably a giant Uranium-material Underling that got near you somehow.
Debug NPCs sometimes have a sort of low-grade omniscience and almost always areasight, remotesight, echolocation, and a host of other minor perceptive abilities that blind players who don't get replacement optics can be seen using, all of which can be enabled/disabled/etc. at will or subconsciously by an anti-overload ability. This might be how you're being observed, and it just blew up your detector with their computersplodey power (yes that is a thing they do it's like Rage). Also they can speak in psychotic green sunlight seizure if they want, which is pretty cool but like denizenspeak to another player is pretty much incomprehensible to normals.

It's... waving at me. I- wait. Okay so, hold on. This thing is like... Maria shaped. White and occasionally glowy and Maria shaped. I... can players become first guardians? Can players... be part of First Guardians? I am... so confused right now, like what the hell?
I think it wants me to... follow it? Should I follow it? Her? Agh?! What the fuck?!

Did the ectobiology machine making the First Guardian use Maria as a target, so she is technically a relative of Maria? First guardians can have mouths so ffs it's probably a good idea to simply ask the woman. Talking first guardian ladies have happened before, but I think the relevant session imploded somehow because the majority of prototypings caused most underlings to cease to exist or some other massive bug that kind of rendered victory impossible. Did a doomed timeline where Maria prototyped herself happen or something and then she traveled back to alpha? What's going on?
Tl:dr most likely case is that when she was cloned from a bunch of animals, objects, and the psychotic streams of letters on your walls (might've seen them after your dreamself woke up if you go in your waking room in your land house) Maria somehow got targeted to be a genetic model.

Yeah... She says that's pretty much exactly what happens. Apparently she just wanted me to know not to worry about our Maria being why Heqet is flipping out - it turns out she (the debug NPC) is the one who's really messing with space currently, and causing Heqet to flip out.
She also claims that our Maria is... going to be the one who makes her, thus fulfilling her role? She hasn't explained how or why she's hurting Heqet and when I ask her about it she changes the subject immediately. I think... she's planning something. What kind of chaos can she cause/has she probably already caused?

First Guardians are like Space but having a constant berserk trigger with infinite pluck, if not worse. As long as they and what they are trying to teleport are in the same spacetime stable enough that linearity and *linearity* can be a thing, the rule of thumb I've seen the most is that they can teleport whatever they want as much as they want wherever they want in that same space. Decently smart ones can also futz with scripts somehow apparently but I'm not sure whether that's actually any good or used to attain "omnipotence" (*airquotes harder* action not bestfit), or even exists as a formal thing they can do.
She can cause and probably did any form of chaos that can be caused by moving things, especially those that should not be moved since as the Debug NPC they pretty much can do what they want, or possibly anything that could be caused by toying with the top-level management code of reality itself.
Have the Void player go with the Space player to the Veil to make sure Heqet's skaian futurevision or whatever she used to know about this is and FG!Maria's timeline is accurate to the point that it doesn't get doomed timecorpses everywhere, and then have Maria target past!herself with some random functional ectobiology machine (preferably the one that doesn't make/didmake/fucktimeiscomplicated/howdoIplayerfriendlytenses/*AJSHBVKJFLGHG* you all unless Maria was already FG!Maria in the first place but she has body paint and fake eyes lol) and shove in all that code that might be on your bedroom walls or wherever.

Alright, so, Maria and Terry have been sent off to the furthest ring to go and make the first guardian. Dang, this is weird. I'm being sent off to find a different meteor and.. make us, I guess. So, take from that what you will. Having all the ectobiology happening feels nicely serendipitous so I'm doing it, and am making it happen.
Lilia seems to be preparing something, though I'm not sure what yet. She says she'll reveal it when the time is right. Terry and Felix are off to meet the queens to learn what they can before everything goes haywire.
I think we know the grace cataclysm now... I'm just worried about what Terry's gonna end up doing. I think it's coming soon.

I sincerely hope you were sending the cataclysms to the Veil as implied, not outside the session. While it might reduce the effectiveness of the Spacebomb^2, not sure if it'll do much against the Vo ing and you want the spacey alive or at least pendant-retrievable.
So, how's the Sburban standard babymaking going? Safely babysat?

What, no, obvious I sent the both of them to go and try to find you to pay you a visit. Haha, yeah, no. They're in the veil, meteor hopping to look for the FG lab.
Babies are all being sent off to land on the planet. I am a proud parent. I left them all tiny notes telling them how proud I am of them. The notes'll probably burn up on entry. Oh well, that's fine with me, I at least tried a little bit. Anyw , tha 's a fo n , I th . ai w t' o n ? ' r a !

This post has been doublesent on both the Sburb.org fora and as a broadcast MISTED over by Lillian the Corruptor directed via a Speaker Seer of Void's best guess in what we vaguely hope is your general direction because it's being sent at a bunch of sessions with big void charges. If letters are repplicating, sorry, that''s jusst a void-protection charmm. This message is addressed to the session of Page of Time trepidatiousPacifist Harri Riley and coplayers, and is not particularly relevant to anyone else. If it creates a copypasta about Void players for timestamps to come when it hits all the other irrelevant targets, oops sorry.
If this is arriving with no contexxt in the wrong sessionn but something large and Void-charged happened or will happen at some point, sorry. It likelly doesn't concerrn you.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED DID THE VOID EAT YOUR SESSION ARE YOU ALL OKAY HOW ARE THE CATACLYSMS GOING PLEASE REPORT SESSION STATUS
Interested in your fate, Fred the Horrorterror, horrorTerror.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but how does one read Null affected speech? I'm trying my best to read all the guides I can but it doesn't really come up in any of those that I've read so far.
