Sometimes even the greatest of detectives have to face insurmountable odds!
We don't know how deep this rabbit hole goes, might as well do it now.
[X] Before you proceed, leave a message for Red Marker. Let's become pen pals... uh, marker pals?
Not sure about the contents, but it'd be nice to touch on several topics.
- Tell them you are glad they are alive and... well? You hope they are well.
- Let's be friends!
- What is their name?
- How long have they been in here?
- Do they know Dr. Charles Brighton, the particles man? Do they know his whereabouts?
- Do they know what the goals of the GSC are?
- Are there others like us? Right now, you mean.
- Is there anything you can help them with? Something they want but can't get, perhaps?
[X] Open the can of TINNED PEACHES and leave it as a treat to 'seal the deal'.
This throws me back to the times when offerings of bread and milk were made to the road fairies before setting on a journey, or to brownies for good luck. For all intents and purposed Red Marker may as well be one for us.
If we come back and find a peach missing, the fairy has accepted our friendship proposal!
