Shelter

3 min read

  • Another terminal, similar to the one found in Security?
  • Seems like I can’t open this safe for some reason

  • Is SHELTER the terminal password?
  • What is the Red Guard?

  • What day are we on?

  • Let’s set a random date, and hope I find it later.

  • 0.05 uSv. If I can make the house radioactive somehow, all the doors will suddenly unlock.

    • On day 24, seems like the radiation has increased as per the effects of the Laboratory.
    • Using the lab doesn’t seem to immediately make it more radioactive… Strange.

  • There’s a weird painting in this room. Related to the Reddington images in the Library?

  • Time probably goes in a pattern between days. Take note of the times in Den or Drawing Room next days.

  • Really OP as it stops the effect of the Darkroom.

The Safe

  • This note is labelled 7.

Dear Uncle,

The disappearance of my cousin Mary
has long sat unfavorably with me and
my father. And I will freely admit to
you that the chilly airs of
indifference you may have felt in my
presence can be attributed entirely to
the suspicions that I have harbored
for these past years. Suspicions
entirely aimed at yourself.

And while I have never had the
opportunity to prove it, I felt very
strongly that you had some deeper
involvement in those events four years
ago. The circulating rumors of those
months did nothing but further
reinforce my convictions in this fact.

Those of us that are once bitten are
twice shy and I am aware of the cost
my aggressively aloof behavior has had
on the social standing of our family.
I do not apologize for my actions,
though I am now willing to admit that
the conclusions I reached may have
been flawed.

Last week, I had a confidential
conversation with one of our mutûal
acquaintances. A conversation that has
shed more light on this mystery than all
of my father's countless fruitless
inquiries over the years.

I now have reason to believe that you
were in fact responsible for smuggling
my cousin under cover of night across
the red border to the southern seafront.
And I believe this may have occurred in
September, a full 7 months after she was
reported missing. A date that coincides
not with her public "disappearance" in
February but instead with the notable
theft of the Ruby Crown.

If the Black Water insurgents were in
fact responsible for the heist as some
have claimed, I believe this scenario
entirely plausible. And the fact that 2
of the crown's eight rubies have now
surfaced has given me renewed optimism
that she is still alive.

Alive, safe and finally free.

Perhaps, my willingness to accept such
a sensational story betrays my own
desperation.

Desperation for answers. Desperation for
hope. And desperation for a narrative
in which you are not the villain.

In that distant land we all dream of,
the land where the strangling crimson
curtains draped across our sky are
pulled back, and the windows and
shutters of discontent flung wide open.
In that distant land, I pray one day
to find our Marion safe, happy and
absolved.
