• We are provided a dial-up number for the ranger website.
• Looks like we're gonna have to learn a new alphabet.
• Poor, poor Jeremy. Still screwing up and not taken seriously.

• Note the symbols at the top of the report are under certain information. This is a key to cracking the new secret alphabet.

  • the expedition number (1783)
  • the set of symbols below her frequency number (209.564)

Laila's Letter

• We are now just 117, no hierarchy letter.

• Okay, so we finally got the opportunity to go back up to the surface and we take off on our own?

  • Why the heck?!

• A "hovel" is:

  • a small, squalid, unpleasant, or simply constructed dwelling

• R.I.P. PATRICIA...

Madeline Map Pawn

• This will be used to track positions on the terrain map.

Map Marker

• Oof, smelly!

Notebook

• Inside the front cover, we are given a website and list of phone numbers.

  • Oddly enough when dialed the numbers show up as Oregon, but not surprisingly they do not connect since they are fake numbers (555).
  • *🙃Had to try just out of curiosity. lol

• Haha, the bumhole of the bird is called a "vent"...

Pawn Holders

• These are used to hold the map pawns.
• You must punch out the small plastic pieces in the inserts in order to fit the pawns in comfortably.

Pencil

• This is a pencil from the newfound ranger station, green in color.

Salvador Map Pawn

• This will be used to track positions on the terrain map.

Terrain Map

• I can only assume that this will be used along with the map pawns to track positions of aliens/humans.

Written Note

• This item explains a little about how to use the terrain map and included pawns (courtesy of Jeremy).
• We are given coded frequencies with which to update Madeline and Salvador of crucial information.

• Once decoded, the frequencies are:

  • Madeline: 213.112
  • Salvador: 322.113

• Jordan is currently located at D-13.

  • This is merely the hunting camp of the survivors Jeremy found (or found him, as he puts it).

• She wants us to find a path and deliver her and Madeline to the survivors' main camp once we find the location.

• She gives us a callback frequency for an update: 609.561.

• Jordan deduces that the survivor camp must be south of their current location (D-13).

• Madeline gives us an update on the aliens:

  • There is a Hunter at G-14 heading west.
