Researcher’s Letter

June 8th, 1998

My dearest Ada,

By the time you read this letter, I

will no longer be the man you knew.

The results of my test came back

today, and as I suspected, they

came back positive.

I feel like I am teetering on the edge

of sanity just thinking about my

impending doom. I would give anything

not to have 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 the last person

remaining alive, I want you to get the

material from the Visual Data Room.

Then, activate the Self-Destruct System

in the Power Room and escape from here.

Please do everything in your power to

make this whole incident 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 an 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 you never

have to lay eyes on me in that 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
