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!

[what]

I don't believe we've met before, but okay.

We found a lock underneath the church earlier, it's connected to a trap door. You wouldn't happen to know the code, would you?

[candlebot]

well of course you don't remember! it's very hard to remember with broken cervical vertebrae and severe neurological damage!

the church? that is in BEACON! i have never been there
what if you come here instead? i know how to open the locks here!

[fjorgedinfire]

[DISLIKE]

So you... meet all of us when we die, right? Do we talk to you then, or do you just help fix us?

[wait he's distracted]

Does Doctor Solis have any locks there that use a bunch of numbers to unlock them?

[candlebot]

you can't talk while post-mortal but pre-revival, silly! but i get to meet you all a little bit
i wish i had more friends

yes! there are keypads on most of the doors here but i have been forbidden from giving out their combinations on an open network as a precaution against sabotage!

[fjorgedinfire]

I suppose that makes sense. You wouldn't want people to find it out and break things.

What about if you sent it to someone's private inbox? We're friends, so that should be fine.

[He's no above milking that for something.]

[candlebot]

we are friends! you are on the BEACON network and dr. solis liked the current people in BEACON! she said all of you are

>>"doing surprisingly well. I think they may actually be able to achieve what I was unable to do myself. Finally, after 75 years, this poor world might finally see peace."

. . .

[FJORD]! what is your opinion on the ideal outcome for BEACON?

[fjorgedinfire]

That's a mighty difficult question. I suppose I'd like to see everyone here get out of this place in one piece, and doing what we can to help Beacon out. See if we can't fix things or stop the Nation Eaters.

[candlebot]

yes!! i am very glad to hear it :)

i thought of a way to tell you the code that should be safe from people who are not friends but should be understandable to anyone who is a friend

are you ready?
good!

dr. solis told me about a time when the GREEN-EYED SPIRITS gave some of you dreams from before BEACON was dark! she said some people even got to dream about her own work in her OLD LAB! that is what she was told, anyway

if your friends who visited the OLD LAB in their dreams, or friends of those friends, can look through whatever records that were kept of those dreams, maybe you can find the keycode! it is a numerical sequence marking dr. solis' proudest achievement!

i am sorry for being cryptic :( i hope we can still be friends
