Hello!

This message has been automatically transmitted to the Beacon town network. If you are seeing this message, it means Dr. Maridel Solis has been absent from her laboratory and has not reset this safety protocol in excess of [THREE] days.

I have been instructed to inform you, residents of Beacon, that this means you must exercise extreme caution as post-mortal revival and lantern reconditioning tasks are not currently being performed.

Based on the outcome of last scheduled task: [0205XXXX.PORTALEXPERIMENT] I anticipate these tasks will be resumed in [NEVER] days. Thank you!

most of her notes are on her computer! but maybe you can use some of this from the whiteboard in the WORKSHOP!

[attached is an uploaded scan of an entire whiteboard surface, covered in equations and diagrams]

[flangirl]

Unfortunately I can't make any sense of these myself, but I'm sure some of the others here will be able to! I'll upload these to the rest of the network if that's okay?

You said in another conversation here that Dr. Solis' lantern is with you and unlit. What would happen if we lit it?

[candlebot]

yes it's ok!!

i don't think it could light at all unless you fixed it:( it doesn't look right :( her lantern is supposed to fix itself but it isn't doing that

:( :( :(

[flangirl]

A lot of us definitely want to find Dr. Solis, and you, Clara! Keep sharing anything you think might be helpful. If we can figure out how to get to you we'll definitely try to repair Dr. Solis' lantern ♡

Would a torch from the bonfire work to relight the lanterns we do fix?

[candlebot]

i wish i knew more about the outside so i could help more! i've told all of you everything i know about where i am :( and also how to unlock the doors! i wish i could be more direct but dr. solis always said to be really careful and not go on the network at all unless it's an emergency and this is an emergency!! i know it's an emergency because the EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS tell me it is! :(

no, the lanterns can only be re-lit with one of the machines here! you put a lantern on it and attach a VESSEL and . . .

well dr. solis used to push some buttons and it lit up!! i don't actually know how it works but you are all smart! i love having smart friends! !!!

[flangirl]

This is definitely an emergency. You're doing all the right things! And you're good to be careful. We don't want anyone else to find you before we do either.

[ The description of relighting a lantern is.... weird. Huh. ]

Can you describe the VESSEL?

[candlebot]

VESSELS can be all kinds of things that have a connection to the SPIRIT and the LANTERN from what i have seen!

most of the time a body, but sometimes a hand or hair or teeth or whatever else was left! a couple times dr. solis even had to bring in a FOREST SPIRIT but i think those were very rare extreme cases as i have only seen it happen a few times! it was not very fun! they do not like being dragged in and used for post-mortal revival very much

it must be very confusing for them :( :(

[flangirl]

[ ... ]

[ Give Pudding a LONG ASS MOMENT to process that shit. ]

[ Wh. What the fuck. ]

Do you mean that forest spirits are killed and used to make bodies for us to revive into?

[candlebot]

no, because the FOREST SPIRITS are already dead!

i don't know how or why it works, i only know what i have seen, and what is important is making a way for all of you to come back!! that is the most important thing! i hope you can come and visit soon because i don't want to lose all of you

most of you are friends i have never even met and how sad is it to lose a friend you never got to have!! :(

[flangirl]

[ askfjlfjdgjdlkgjfgkld fucking of COURSE that's the fucking answer oh my GOD ]

[ oh my god how many of them are made of pieces-parts ]

[ how did Solis get them to look and feel normal? to still, like... eat, and bleed? ]

[ this is DISTRESSING ]

[ Pudding is DISTRESSED ]

I certainly wouldn't want that either! We'll come find you. I'll work on a map to find you and helping that door code as soon as I can! I'm sure there are many more people all planning to do just the same!

[ in text no one can hear you SHRIEK ]

[candlebot]

ok! great!! i am so excited to meet everyone!
