The D6 Researcher's Recording

1. Summary

A recovered transmission from a researcher who locked himself inside a secured room in D6 during the 1999 catastrophe and called for rescue.

2. Text

Researcher: "Please... please, somebody answer me. I've locked myself inside. I haven't looked at anything. I've been keeping my ears covered..."

Distant screaming can be heard through the recording.

Researcher: "I don't know what's happening to all these people. I don't understand any of it."

Researcher: "They want to burn me alive. They're screaming at me through the door. They say they're going to eat my flesh."

Researcher: "Why? Why do they hate me so much? I've done nothing to them. Nothing!"

The researcher struggles to regain his composure.

Researcher: "I can't go outside. I can't. Please... somebody has to come."

He then identifies the secured room in D6 and provides its access code, hoping that a rescue team will eventually reach him.

The transmission ends without confirming his fate.
