First Transmission | Audio/Voice
[When Walter’s voice first comes in, it is loud despite his actually speaking in a normal tone; microphones were not so advanced in his day, and he has followed the example of his day in holding the microphone close to him when he speaks.]
I’ve been told we’re to use these things when we want to get in contact with each other. Frankly, I don’t see much of a point to it in a location like this. We’re all grouped so close together that a public announcement system would be a more efficient use of resources. If you want to talk to someone, you can just walk to their door and knock.
[There is a pause in the recording in which he frowns, though it cannot be seen on the screen of whoever it is that happens to be listening in due to Walter’s electing to make the recording audio-only. But if the listener is patient enough to endure the two-second pause, the young voice with the King’s English accent returns.]
I’ve been told to give this a try either way, so here it is. If you’re feeling at all helpful, you can respond in whatever way you want to let me know I’m actually doing it right. No small talk required. I just want to be able to use this thing in case of an emergency.
[And with that, the recording ends, the listener left to respond or disregard the message at will.]
[Speaking of going to someone's door, whoever walks into Housing Unit 131 will find a note posted to the inside of their door. It's written by hand, in cursive largely typical of the 1930s-40s era, though with a few unusual flourishes here and there on some of the letters.]
To whom it may concern:
I have been duly informed that these are to be my assigned quarters. I expect I shall be running into one of you in the near future, though my hours aren't exactly normal. As a matter of consideration, I have an acquaintance in the West Wing with whom I will be staying from time to time, so do not be alarmed at my absence. I might also bring her here in the future. That aside, if you wish to find me but are unable to you may contact me by means of the "tablet" devices we have been given.
Sincerely,
Walter C. Dornez
