Dear Ada ,

Ada, by the time you read this, I'll be something... different. Today's test turned out to be positive, just as I expected. I feel like going crazy when I think about becoming one of them.

Ada, you are not infected and I hope you never will be. In case you're the last one left, take the material in the Visual Data Room and go to the Power Room to operate the Triggering System before you escape.

If everything is in order, all the locks can be opened by the security system. You can access the system if you log in with my name from the terminal in the small lab and enter the password. The password is your name. To unlock the door at B2 where the Visual Data Room is located, you'll need to access with our name first and then enter another password.

I've written the code below. I'm sure you'll understand it easily.

And this is my last hope - if you find me completely changed, please kill me yourself.

PASSWORD=ᛗᛟᛚᛖ

Yours, John

親愛なるエイダへ June 8.1998

エイダ、いま君が、これを読んでいるという事は、
私はすでに、私でなくなっているという事だ。今日の検査の結果で、
思っていた通りの反応が出た。「陽性」だ。
もうすぐあんな姿になってしまうのかと思うと、気が狂いそうになる。
エイダ、君は今の所、感染してはいない。

これは無いことかもしれないが、
もし、君が最後の一人だったら、
動力室に行って起爆装置を作動させ、
映像室に置いてある資料を持って、ここから脱出して欲しい。
そして、マスコミを使って、事の全てを公にしてくれ。

もし、セキュリティシステムが正常に機能していれば、
ここのロックは全て解除できる。
これには、小実験室にある端末から私の名前でログインし、
さらにパスワードを入力すればアクセスできるようにしておいた。
パスワードは「ADA」、君の名だ。
映像室のあるB2Fのロックを解くには、私と君の名でアクセスした後、
さらに、もう一つのパスワードを入力しなければならない。
念のため、パスワードはX線写真に暗号で記しておいたのだが、
聡明な君の事だ、すぐにわかるだろう。

これが私の最後の頼みだ。
もし変わり果てた姿の私を見かけたら、エイダ、君の手で楽にしてくれ。

君のJohnより

Researchers letter

June 8th, 1998
My dearest Ada,

By the time you read this later, I will no longer be the person you once knew. The results of my test came out today, and as I suspected, it came out positive.

I feel like I am teetering on the edge of reason just thinking about my impending doom. I would give anything not to have to become one of them.

As far as I know, you are not infected. I sincerely hope things do not reach such a desperate pass, but if it has turned out that you are now the last person remaining alive. I want you to get the material from the Visual Data Room.

Then, active the Self - Destruct System in the Power Room, and escape from here. Please do everything in your power to make this whole accident public.

If everything is still running normally, you should be able to release all the locks using the Security System.

I have set up the terminal in the small security room so that you can log in to the system using my name and your name as the password.

You will need another password to release the lock of the door in Basement Level Two where the Visual Data Room is located.

As a safety measure I have coded that password into a X-ray picture; a roentgenogram. I know you, and I'm sure you will be able to work it out without any trouble.

There is just one more thing... and it is my last request. I hope your never have to lay eyes on me in this state, but if you do happen to run into me in my hideous form. I beg you to put me out of my misery. I hope you understand.

Thank you, Ada.
Yours truly,

John
