I forgot...

They said I couldn't mention the situation.

You have to help me. This place isn't safe no matter how perfect it sounds.

Well, not that it sounds perfect, because it doesn't, but it's so much worse than it sounds. Teck is gone, I'm left- 

we're left here, no way out. We're doomed. 100% doomed. There's no possible way to find the co-

I sat, head bobbing, at my solid white desk. The screen showed plain black words on a white screen, flipping slides every few seconds signaled by the word 'next' being said in a robotically monotone voice.

Some might think that after realizing such a thing, someone would tell everyone in some form. A company with such intentions would never let that kind of news leak, so no employee has access to the rest of the world while employed there, which is, unfortunately, an extremely long time.

right outside where the eye can see.
and if you succeed 
all you'll need is the key
and to find it all you need 
is add up to 16.

t-that's it! And, we've already found their fault! All we need to do is carry out the rest of the plan and we'll be on our way o ut i n  no time-
