Archivist

Jim: Everything is ready for the shift, are you, Feather?

Task: Go through the study in "words" mode.

Jim: Feather, there is no sense to sit still and wait for Matt and Alice to appear. Let's take a closer look around.

Jim: The first time I did not pay attention to how many documents were here. Thousands of them! To find something useful here is like finding a needle in a haystack of needles.

Jim: And imagine a situation in which we do not have a clue how does the needle look like. I didn't know where to look next.

Jim comes to first random pile of paper.

Jim: Here are not only typescripts! Pay attention: the handwriting on the sheet differs from handwriting, for example on this note.

Jim runs eyes over several of these notes.

Jim: So... unreadable scraps... almost all burned... incoherent ravings of a madman... "can no longer"...

Jim: I feel icy breath and the stench of the plague from the pages. Feather, this is an archive of death.

Jack: Where's your optimism, bro? At least three survived the first act: Isami, and Matt, and Ryan.

Jack: Maybe they, too, kept diaries, and describe gingerbread houses and rivers of milk that will cheer you up?

Jack: And John in his Puppeteer phase had a lot of diaries. In both phases actually. And all of them survived. At least - for now.

Jim: Jack, shouldn't you be somewhere else?

Jack: What's the use of half-blind rats in other places, how do you think? Bill asked me to check on you.

Jim: Bill, yeah...

Jack: Also we need to do something with the hatch. Weld it up, or something. We don't need an extra hole here. Someone can fell through it into the Film theater at night and break the projector.

Jack: And it's the only thing that pleases me in the house. Ah! And also bruises on John's face. But they will soon be gone, that will leave me with only the projector again. Don't let me distract you, read your scribble.

Jim: Bingo, Feather! Leather-bound notebook.

Jim browses the notebook.

Jack: C'mon! Read it out.

You completed Jim’s task and received some points of freedom and some tokens

Jim: Not so many pages. In fair condition, if to compare with all that I have already found, of course. Handwriting is more or less clear.
