ANTON NOTE

Document Text:
Pavel,

Something is wrong. I can feel it. I know you will say my “paranoia is acting up”, but that is not the case. Not this time. They are lying to us. Or misleading us, at the very least.

What is our mission? Here at this facility, I mean. They say we are here to rescue a Soviet trapped in the Dark Aether. All of Omega’s resources diverted, all to save one man? He must be very important.

Unless he is not why we are here.

Observation #1: With each passing week, I see more soldiers at the facility. Why the increase? Is this Soviet dangerous? I can already see you waving your hand, and saying “Anton, they are here for our protection. In case the enemy shows up.” Yes, maybe this is true, I will give you that, but…

Observation #2: I spoke with my supervisor and asked if we should dismantle the helicopter. You know, the one hanging from the rafters, from when this was a training facility. He approved. Two hours later, Doctor Peck himself comes over and yells at me. He orders me to stop and rewire everything. He goes so far to order me to verify it works. I am happy to oblige, but why would he care about the helicopter? What purpose could he possibly want it for? Again, I already know what you are thinking, “Anton, maybe it is also here for our protection. What does it matter anyway?” What does it matter? I have worked with Peck before, he does not concern himself with facility security. He believes it is beneath him. If someone else had stopped me, you would have a point, but for him to stop me? He wants to use it. In case something happens. What will happen? Well…

This brings me observation #3: I saw on the manifest a gigantic security cage is to be delivered in two weeks. Pavel, I saw the dimensions – it is bigger than my apartment building!! What do we need this for? For one man? No. I tell you. There is something they are not telling us.
