Chapter 6 - The Others

The third video revealed the group.

Jonah.

Dr. Helen Ward, an acoustics researcher.

Evan Cole, cameraman.

Nina Patel, journalist.

Brothers Marcus and Daniel Reed, local guides.

Six people.

Jonah counted.

“Mara.”

“What?”

“You said five behind me.”

“Yes.”

“That means six total.”

“Correct.”

He looked around the cabin.

“Where are they?”

Neither knew.

The fourth recording answered part of the question.

The group had entered Station Nine.

Inside were long corridors lined with acoustic panels.

Every door had been painted with a number.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Until 9.

Door Nine was welded shut.

Someone had written across it:

DO NOT ANSWER YOURSELF.

Jonah paused the video.

“What does that mean?”

Mara whispered:

May you like

“I don’t think I want to know.”
