Final Investigation.

[trustfellowship]

That countdown in the media room has been running continuously since the Risen's announcement. It's ominous; there's no way that it isn't weighing on people's minds, especially given that the announcement itself was so vague – threatening, surely, but vague. That, combined with all the strangeness that's been happening in the hospital lately, has led to an uneasy week. Thursday arrives. Everyone still alive awakens. Nothing seems to have happened. Exploring the building will at least indicate that no one has died during the night; there are no bodies to be found. However, there is something that you haven't seen all week, just to the north of Section 3 and the dorms. Another corridor has opened up. It leads north for a short while before making a sharp turn east; the eastern hallway ends in a door that seems to be locked. The lock itself is different from the others you've seen here – it's electronic, and it looks like it takes a card key to open. Beyond that door...well, it's both similar to what's happened in previous weeks, and yet the content of the rooms themselves is decidedly not. There's really only one thing to do here when presented with an opportunity like this,, isn't there? Explore?

[Alright, this looks important! Better commit to memory what these documents say.

Let's start reading!]

[trustfellowship]

[It looks like something noted as VOID PROGRESSION.

Trial 01: Age of culprit, victim’s innocence
Trial 02: Execution particularly
Trial 03: Distrust; affected Transmitter more
Trial 04: Immense distrust; chosen victim
Trial 05: Voting for “heroes,” revelation of victim’s character
Trial 06: Number of victims, Committed’s actions, inevitability
Notes: Too far. Pull back.
Trial 07: State of victim, last betrayal
Trial 08: Identity of victim
Notes: She’s weakening. We end this now.

There are more notes down below that! Continue?]

[Better inform Lovecraft]

This is about the Transmitter. It looks kind of familiar. Like results of a test. Every trial affected her? I'm not sure what this means, but these are results. The game is ending because she's weakened.

[Void Progression...this sounds like it'll be important. What else do these notes say?]

[“Those with the most bonds inspire the most darkness in those remaining. Monitor next set closely and target them. If she would let us touch those still standing, they would be prime candidates. Regardless, the fallen will make for perfect subjects, even with the abnormals.”]

[Now that's ominous. Wheatley puts the files aside to take with him. Are there any other documents here?]

[trustfellowship]

[There are not, and it seems that you guys are done in here - take whatever you find relevant with you, because leaving the submarine will put you back in the room where all of this started, and it's back to looking like a normal, albeit empty, room, and it seems that the door has unlocked itself.

Like nothing happened at all.

Weird.]

[Lovecraft perks up from a little ways away.]

Oh... [He seems a little somber about that.] I imagine it came from harboring the Risen as well...

[He'll come over to take a look with Wheatley.]
