Onto the Next Mission

A short period of time after completing Mission 2, members recieved their next assignment from Mister E.

The email reads as follows:

Travelers,

I am grateful for your continued hard work and effort to solve the mystery of our strays and to find a way to bring them home.

If you have not yet signed up to complete Mission 2, I ask that you do so as soon as possible. We have a limited window to act and it will come to a close this Sunday February 20th. https://go.ncsu.edu/mission2 Similarly, we do not expect the current trail to be accessible for much longer, as it has created slight chatter on Hourglass channels.

To follow up on my last correspondence, we are currently organizing all the intel received from the previous mission and will update the website soon. For those of you who did not attend The Institute’s Orientation or a previous mission, I’ll reiterate that this is where all gathered intel will be shared regarding missions and objectives. https://www.redthreadbulletin.com

NEW INTEL!!

We are ready to advance you to your next mission, Mission 3. Utilizing Hourglass technology, we have finally found a space we’ve been desperately searching for. If you wish to assist with our continued efforts, sign up here: https://go.ncsu.edu/mission3 We will have a limited window of opportunity to complete this mission and must continue at this rapid pace before you all scatter for Spring Break.

MORE FROM TAYLOR!!

Last night, a Cadre member informed me of a change in Taylor's voicemail. This has yet to be analyzed but I believe it to be important to keep you up to date. If you wish to hear it, call the number: (919-515-2033) Their frequency appears to be increasing. We will be sure to update you when and if this happens.

Lastly:

Goodspeed informed me of some of your concern of Hourglass infiltration among your communication channels. At this time, we do not suspect any leaks or cracks in the system. The Hourglass is on heightened alert for any unauthorized activity, but we do not believe they have access to our communications. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Regardless, remain vigilant as you complete your missions. Be safe and investigate with other Cadre members and as always be sure to report any suspicious activity. We do not want to lose any members.

Until next time,

Mister E

In this email, Mister E announces the release of signups for Mission 3 along with finding the fifth voicemail from Taylor. The next mission does not have a trail to preceed it.

Voicemail 5

"Voice message received October 31, 1996"

In this message, Taylor sounds quite settled in their new life. They continue to record these for Parker, but it has transitioned more into a diary of the goings on in their life.

They talk about their new friends Reggie and Christina, who they are trying to get to go on a date. They seem to be starting to enjoy their new life.

Voicemail 6:

Several days after the initial signup for Mission 3, Mister E sends out a reminder email to the Cadre members to sign up for the mission and informs them of another voicemail having been recieved.

"Voice message received February 3, 1997"

In this message, Taylor tells Parker about their latest adventures with Reggie and Christina and how their relationship is becoming more serious.

Taylor also tells Parker about a man shouting about the bad things coming with the year 2000. Taylor is amused by this because of knowing that none of the things he says are true.
