[his voice gets a little softer, but he sounds fond as he continues.]

I miss you, too. I'm really sorry. I feel like... [a beat.] I feel like I let you all down, I guess.

[moving on quickly,]

But - two more weeks on the contract, right? So we'll find a way to see each other soon. Don't let me see you before then, though!

[preowned]

Don't worry, I will do what I can. Or, at the very least, if anyone targets me I will be as annoying to them as possible.

[ it's what they will deserve ]

If more people go on an excursion this week, then maybe we will be able to learn more... if so, we can try to let you all know as soon as we can.

[agleam]

Well, hopefully they realize that and stay far away.

[a little bit amused, despite the subject matter,]

Yeah. If the same happens over here, I'll definitely write and try to let you know what we find out. [...] I'm assuming someone told you about the recording Sieghart found when he first got here on one of your other phone calls?

[preowned]

[ a pause ]

No... no they did not. Last week was the cannibal crisis, and the week before was the first time we got to talk, and the line cut off a lot sooner. What did he find?

[ he cannot blame clem because when there is a cannibal ruining your lives after escaping a closet, other things seem minor in comparison. ]

[agleam]

Oh - good, I'm glad I asked. Uh, we heard a record of someone talking, we think it might be the person in charge. Basically, they were saying there's something here that might be able to consume us all, and also that they're pretty sure there's no way for us to get back and fulfill our contracts. I mean, everyone who's died.

[...]

Anyways, nobody that I've talked to here so far is going to just accept that, so we're going to keep trying. Hey, tell everyone that I miss them, okay? And if the record does turn out to be true, I'm really glad I got the chance to meet—
