Nashiko & Thomas - Chat Log 3

[/begin chat thread]

[Nashiko] Ready for round four?

[Thomas] Ready as I'll ever be. See you at the front desk.

[Nashiko] I just got a message from Riley.

[Thomas] Is something wrong? Is she okay?

[Nashiko] She said to get out of here as fast as possible.

[Nashiko] Both Lillian and Joshua were taken here.

[Nashiko] Riley's driving to us now to explain more, but we need to go outside now.

[Thomas] I managed to loop back around to the front door. I'll go out and meet you at the other side.

[Nashiko] I saw Lillian.

[Thomas] Did she see you?

[Nashiko] No, but I had to hide in a closet to make sure she didn't.

[Nashiko] God dammit. I don't know how long I'll be in here.

[Thomas] I'm coming back in to get you out of there.

[Nashiko] No!

[Nashiko] Don't come in. I still haven't been seen yet. Don't put yourself in danger.

[Thomas] I'm not about to let one of my friends face it alone. Besides, you'd do the same for me.

[Nashiko] I think the coast is clear. I'm going to make a break for it. They shouldn't be able to follow me outside.

[Nashiko] I'm out. Where are you?

[Thomas] It was a trap.

[Thomas] Joshua was waiting for me.

[Nashiko] Shit

[Thomas] I'm trapped in a room right now. There's no way out. I can hold the door for now, but I don't know I'll be able to if Lillian helps him.

[Nashiko] I'm going back in.

[Thomas] Stop. You can't help here. You'll just get yourself taken.

[Nashiko] I can't leave you

[Thomas] Don't fall for its tricks. Riley and Wyatt are still safe, yes? Help them fix this, once and for all. They can't do it without you. I'll hold out for as long as I can. I'm not giving up yet.

[Nashiko] Riley's here. She agrees that we'll have to look through station 85 anyways.

[Nashiko] Just hold on a little longer. We'll figure out a way to get you out of there.

[Thomas] Joshua left. I think the coast is clear now.

[Thomas] I'm going to make a break for it.

[Nashiko] Wait a minute. Riley and I can try to verify where Lillian and Joshua are.

[Nashiko] Thomas?

[Nashiko] Respond now.

[Nashiko] Don't run out there

[Thomas] He looks the same as he did all those years ago

[Thoams] He has a gift for me

- Thomas sent tc_pendant85.png

[Nashiko] DO NOT TAKE THAT

[Nashiko] Don't do this to me

[Nashiko] Please

[Thomas] I found it

[Thomas] I found perfect contentment. Can you come with me, Nashiko?????????????

-----------------------------------

This is the third time it has happened. I tried what I did the last two times, and found another reference to an image in the archives buried in the corruption, named "contentment.png." I was able to easily find it.

The symbol on their faces in these corrupted portraits matches the symbol on the pendant, and the one in the station monitor system.

Lillian, Joshua, and now Thomas. Something has happened to all three of them. Something bad, which only happened once they went to Station 85. I don't think any of them are okay.

Riley told Nashiko that they would have to explore Station 85 together. I'd wager this includes Wyatt joining them. I hope all three of them are still safe.
