John Derril Broadcast #1

• Hello? If anyone can hear this... my name is Johnathan Derril, and I need help.
• These things they've... taken over the island.
• Anyone, please, I have supplies, but... <muffled>
• THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE FROM ARQUE CORPORATION.
• THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY BREACH.
• MANDATORY CURFEW IS IN EFFECT

John Derril Hut Conversation

• HEY! ARE YOU OKAY DOWN THERE!?
• COME ON UP!

• I ran into a bit of trouble so uh,
• excuse the mess.
• That was your boat wasn't it?
• I didn't expect a survivor.
• Let's get inside.
• That's some err...
• interesting... parking, by the way!
• I'm John.
• John Derril.

• I'm sorry you had to crash here of all places.
• The island is... overrun.
• I've been working on fixing a radio and... I had it! But...
• That's when this happened.
• I was attacked after I managed to get a message out, but
• a company called Arque are blocking all communications with a
• damn curfew message!
• I was gonna find the source of the signal and stop it
• but...
• well...
• It's a bit late for me now.
• YOU need to do it.
• If you've got any chance of getting off this island,
• this is it.
• Look, take my gun.
• I don't need it anymore.
• You need to make your own way though.
• Go out of the back door.
• It will take you to a river.
• Follow the river to the nature reserve.
• And then you can follow the rails into Wentworth.
• I'm sure that's where it's coming from.
• Look, before you go
• ...I came here with my wife and daughter on holiday
• three months ago,
• around the time this began.
• We got separated, but...
• please...
• if you find them...
• ...keep them safe
• [gasp]"
• Do what I couldn't.
• Good luck.

Chapter #2

Capturer

• HEY! DON'T MOVE!
• Are you awake yet?
• Hello?
• I'm talking to you.
• Yes, you.
• Ah, there we go!
• You feel alright?
• You sure?
• We wouldn't want you to get hurt again now would we?
• So the question on my mind is
• why is a
• fisherman
• all the way down here?
• Oh and, don't worry.
• I took away your... hardware.
• Far be it from me to question where you got it...
• You're quite the adventurer aren't you?
• We've been tracking your movements ever since you entered the facility.
• Too bad you wasted your time.
• Speaking of time,
• my shift ended half an hour ago.
• So make yourself comfortable
• You'll be dead by tomorrow anyway.
• It's me.
• Yeah he's awake.
• No, I couldn't, he's not talking.
• I tied him to a chair.
• Yeah, if he can walk through walls and locked doors!
• Idiot.
• No, YOU listen! My shift is over, I'm leaving!
• No, you're not paying me for this! I'm out of here!

Chapter #3

George Richmond Scene #1

• What the?! Hey! Hey! You! Oh thank God!
• No! Come back, please!
• I thought everybody left! Can... can you get me out of here? There should be a keycard somewhere, I think.
• There might be one in the security office over there.
• Nothing? Okay... um, what about that body over there?
• Ah excellent. Now open the door, quick!

George Richmond Scene #2

• Thank you, you have no idea how long I've been in there.
• My name is George Richmond.
• Wait, how did you get in here?
• No, it doesn't matter. We've got very little time, follow me. We've got to get to the communications room and radio out. Come on.
• You do want to get out of here, right?
• Let's see if I still remember this...
• Ah, good.
• Oh the range, perfect.
• We'll need something more powerful than that... hammer of yours.
• You can practise if you want, I'll be waiting at the door.
• Hmm, oh- bake sale in July?
• Oh thats... hmm...
• So that's the food guy, huh.
• Fascinating.
• ...what?
• Well that one's old...
• Somebody should take that one down.
• You finished? Great, let's move on.
• It's funny isn't it. They could've easily used a card reader here... but no!
• You've got the weapon! After you.

George Richmond Scene #3

• Damn, look at this place.
• Great, let's see how we can solve this.
• Huh.
• Good thinking.

George Richmond Scene #4

• Hang on. Let me check something.
• Dammit. The generator is close to overheating.
• We need it to be stable to use the communications equipment.
• Argh.
• Someone left themselves logged in upstairs.
• I can't do anything until their workstation is logged out.
• Can you go on up there and see if you can unlock it?
• You'll have to go up two floors - I'll meet you in the communications room, it's on the same floor.
• I'll meet you in the communications room.
• Can you go up there and see if you can unlock it?

George Richmond Scene #5

• Hey, can you hear me? The power went out on your floor! I don't know if you can hear this but the generator is stable now. I'll wait for you in the communications room. Just keep going, you'll find it.

George Richmond Scene #6

• There you are! Follow me, it should all work now.
• Alright, I hope someone hears this.
• This is Professor George Richmond of the Arque West Testing and Research Facility. We are dealing with a localised outbreak and require immediate medical and military assistan-
• Oh, well that's weird.
• Huh, did they override the loop buffer?
• I'll clear it just to be sure.
• There's nothing there?!
• The message isn't coming from here.
• I wonder where on earth it's coming from. Unless... no, but that was decomissioned!
• There's a very old satellite station on the other side of the island, but it hasn't been used since the 70s!
• It must be. Only that transmitter is powerful enough to jam the signal. We've got to get there.
• Maybe through town. I think we can-
• We've got you two cornered! Open up!
• Quick, the ventilation shaft, go now, get to the satellite!
• This is our only chance, go!
• Go!
• Get to the satellite!
