Bead Bracelet with Explanation
- The bracelet I received had a combination of gold (clear) and rose (pinkish) beads.
-
According to the accompanying explanation:
- Gold holds the warmth we feel beneath the ever-burning peak.
- Rose holds the love we feel for both our Family and the Divine.
Handwritten Note
- My head hurts...
-
The note is addressed to "Orphan".
- Are we "Orphan"?
-
All the words in the quoted text are capitalized. Reading only the first letters of the words gives us:
- RMTSURVIVORSORG
-
This is actually a website for Radiant Mountain Survivors.
-
The password for the website is: DT8996.
- This is repeated twice towards the bottom of the note, meaning it must be important.
Headphones
- The headphones can be used to listen to the meditation track referenced on the meditation coupon.

- Holy Reading, Batman!

According to one poster, they were drugged on a daily basis.
- Is every person being dosed, whether willingly or not?
-
The same poster mentions how Frederick seemed sadder and was reluctant to give his recommendation for this participant to become a Sparrow.
- Does Frederick want out but is unable/not sure how to leave the commune?
-
One other poster mentions wondering if the water supply was being drugged.
- So, that could be how Radiant Mountain is drugging the entire community unbeknownst to the members.
-
Another poster mentions being served "medicine" regularly with his meals.
- There is definite drugging going on at this place. Keep everyone docile and brainwashed.
-
I believe there is also subliminal messaging going on at Radiant Mountain.
- The garbled voice within the meditation audio track
- Members stating a feeling of euphoria after meditations
- Static on TVs...
-
Wow, there is even a post from DT8996!
- Could this poster be the one who sent us the handwritten note!?
- This poster mentions his daughter is "way more interested in getting her pictures on the website and portraying our Sanctuary in a positive light".
- This poster is Charlotte Thomas's father!
- In this post, he explicitly states he is looking for someone to infiltrate Radiant Mountain (that's us!).
- It is possible all locked content is meant to be unlocked in future episodes...
