My fellow citizens of Beacon...

The recent visits by spirits appear to have been fruitful, in the sense that some of us have learned new things about this world and the past. If you have something valuable to share, I encourage you to speak up. I am less concerned about network security these days so we need not purposefully meet in person. I should like to know what you all know, and in turn, I have some disturbing news of my own.

The spirit who met me...I believe, strongly, was actually one of my own people, from my world. A foe, in the past, whose death impacted me personally. I have no evidence aside from the sensations of his thoughts, which in the dream state is hard to be sure is real, but my experience is difficult to interpret any other way. This means that the spirits are not just the former residents of Beacon from before the darkness, they are also...us. Our own. Others like us who were brought here upon death and forced to try to rectify the situation before it's too late. It is very likely that in time, we too will become masked spirits.

Hence, 'what is death to a dead thing?' Their deaths brought them here, and the world turned them into what we see.

[a long pause. Not because the rest is difficult but because that's such a heavy thought and he's not managing it well]

Additionally, through his memory of still being human, I have discovered the location of some sort of bunker, a storage space hidden behind a thick metal door. The 'plutonium' that the Night Market wanted so badly is apparently kept there. If the Wild Hunt is no longer a threat, it may be safe to mount an expedition to recover it, I have the location written down as I remember it being given to my mind. However, I think the more urgent and prudent expedition should be to Helix Station, if Weaver would be so kind as to transport us. I will have plans made to leave within two days of now. Do let me know if you wish to join me, I have already spoken to some but would like to settle it.

Please, share with me what you have all learned.

[That's a lot of talk from an actual doctor and Soldat is not great at arguing. They make one point, at least:]

In the memory I saw there was a crater and a dark stain. Not on the lake.

[donttalktome]

[God. They need to invent vision recorders asap, this is frustrating not to be able to see.]

Where?
Were you able to make out any points of reference?
Solis didn't say that the event was centuries ago, so that crater should still be quite visible if we could find it.

[worthallthis]

No points of reference directly in the memory. There were cameras on towers, feeds into the power station. The power station may have maps to where cameras were placed. Could find it that way.

[donttalktome]

God what I wouldn't give for a simple geiger counter.
That would solve this mystery quite quickly, I believe.
It's possible there are some hanging around in Solis' old lab. I'll have to look around.
In the meantime, the power station is already on our priority list of places to locate, I believe, so at least there's that.

[worthallthis]

Good. If I can I will come too. Javert and Misty saw the same memory, so one of them can help, too.

[donttalktome]

There will likely be a call for volunteers when the time comes.
I'm not going to claim any responsibility for the thing, but whoever wants to come along, I'm also not going to stop them.
Do what you want.

[worthallthis]

[There's a pause as Soldat tries to work out what sort of tone "do what you want" is supposed to be.]

Just meant if I have time I will come.

[donttalktome]

[It's Will. Hard to tell what his tone is at any given time, though it's typically safe to say it's somewhere bordering on sarcastic.]

Right, I got that much.
And I'm saying I'm not the boss of you, so you do as you please.
I'm sure we could use more bodies, but I'm not here to recruit.
