Lex passed away
Obtained from Dr. Martine Onziema in exchange for Neuropozyne

To: Dr. Martine Onziema

From: Haniyah Darzi

Doctor

Thanks for trying to help me and Lex. I really appreciate what you tried to do but we lost him yesterday. I know people telling me at least he's not suffering anymore is supposed to make me feel better but it doesn't. It's not their fault, they're just trying to be nice I suppose but I feel awful that I want to scream in their faces when they tell me that. I miss him so much. I dont' [sic] want to be alone in this place. I just wanted you to know that people like you are the only reason I keep going and I hope you have better luck trying to get more medicines like you want. If it helps, Lex had some stuff he was keeping in a locker near the market. It looked like some machine parts or something. Maybe bullets? I don't want anything like that. You can open it with 2046. Maybe you can use them to give to ARC for more food or medicines like you were saying you wanted to.

RE: I'm sorry

My dear Oskar,

Of course I forgive you. I wish I could be there to hold you and help you.

Please hold on, there is always hope.

Love,

Subject: I‘m sorry

Hi Mom,

I know it's been a while. I wound up in Golem City. I know you warned me not to get augmented, I know you said I was wasting and destroying what God gave me and maybe you were right, I don't know.

It's horrible here, ARC has some aid workers, they give us Neuropozyne when they can, but it's never enough and the pain is so bad, I turned to Neon. It was good at first, but now I can‘t stop.

I don‘t know how much longer I can hold out, l just feel like giving up. I'm so sorry, is there any chance you can forgive me for all the things I said and did?

Karina Romonov
Found at an area above Onziema's unit

To: Karina Romonov

From: Karina Romonov

To whoever finds this message,

My name is Karina Romonov and I am dead. It‘s been so hard living here, so tiring, so exhausting. Wherever I am going now, it has to be better than this hell hole.

I invite you to take whatever you want. None of it helped me, but maybe things will turn out differently for you.

Good luck,

Karina

Gun cage code
Found in Mary Morevic's unit

To: J.Chuba@pcr.le

From: J.Manda@pcr.le

Chuba,

Be advised that the gun cage is part of your regular patrol now. We've had reports of Golem rats sniffing around, so keep a close watch. Last thing we need is for one of these people to get in there and arm themselves. The code for the door is 0190. Check it and log it on the hour and keep your eye out for trouble.

What we talked about
Found in the police storage facility near the Mir Flats 

To: Daniel Dobias

From: Andel Barkus

Hey,

I did a test run last night and you were right. The ventilation shaft leads directly to the storage room. This locker is begging to be emptied out. If this works we will have enough pozy to last 2 months, even with Gallois taking his cut.

Happy birthday
Found in the Parapoviv housing unit (unit #150420, one floor above Stedry Market in the southeast part of the city hub)

To: Kal Parapoviv

From: Max V.

Kal. Just what you always wanted. I dropped the hardware off at your place but be careful with it. Lock it in your safe, and don't let your family accidentally stumble on it. If the cops ﬁnd out you're packing, you'll be in serious trouble and ARC isn't going to be able to help you.

RE: Goodbye, my brother

To: Kal Parapoviv

From: Albert Parapoviv

I'm coming to see you as soon as I can. The Cyclops has us pulling double shifts right now for God knows what reason. Let’s talk tonight about what’s going on with you and Ana, ok? It’ll be fine, trust me. Whatever it is we can work it out together, as a family.

I love you, brother.

Albert

Subject: Goodbye, my brother

Ana is pregnant. I won’t bring another child into this world. I can't. I tried to do right as a father and as a husband. But the fact is we are here, in this place, this life, because of me. Albert, my brother... my friend, I think that this is the last time we will talk in this life.

New bridge code
Found in a locked storage unit in the section of the Throat accessed prior to the bridge

To: ARC_ALL

From: Max

Hey everyone,

Sick of me yet? Yes, it's another email about a code change! If you want to cross the bridge without being cut in half, don‘t forget to deactivate the lasers. Code is 3354. For now.

Trust me, I'm even more fed up with this than you are.

From: Max

Attention everyone,

Owing to the increased police presence in Utulek since the bombing, I've been asked to review all codes in the common areas and the shower room keypad has been updated. Although, considering the way some of these cops smell, I think we should let them into the showers, but it's not my call.

Thanks,

Max
