1 Hello Partner!
Underground bunker, Griseran Forest, Forvirretia, Planet Dehzahk:
Fred started vlogging on his camera again.
"Hey partner! I know you're out there somewhere. Last week I turned seventeen. That was my third birthday alone. No cakes, no parties, no wishes. I don't even know whether my friends survived or not. I don't know, but I'd be really lucky if you're one of them. I spent so much time going around the forest and gathering supplies that I forgot vlogging for an entire week. I'm all stacked up and ready to go now. I'm organizing a one man search party to find you, the other survivor. I'd be luckier if you are a group of survivors. It's six twenty three in the morning right now. I've packed Deer intestine for breakfast and legs for lunch. I feel remorse. I pity every animal I've harmed, every animal I've eaten till date. But what else could I do? I hope my fate would change when I meet you. I've been thinking deeply on where I've seen the rune. One of the jungle temples was and still is my best guess. I've marked a few of them on my map here. I'm gonna search the closest three today. I hope I find you as soon as possible. I'm fed up eating animals. The pain in their eyes when I hunt them further weakens me. I don't trust my knowledge of plants. I can't distinguish between the poisonous ones and the edibles. Please be a Botany expert, could you? I've gotta hurry if I should return before dusk. I'll vlog again later, mate. Bye!"

"Where is Brendon? Why wasn't I informed about this? What are you being paid for?", A high pitched, angry demand echoed around the office.
"But sir, the file is confidential. It will reach your hands directly. We won't even be informed!", stammered Brendon.
"Alright now. Take me to Zone Phoenix. Pass Code Fury. Now!"
Underground bunker, Griseran Forest, Forvirretia, Planet Dehzahk:
Fred started vlogging again.
"Exhausted. It's seven forty eight in the evening. I just returned. The sun set at six twenty one. It took me this long to reach home. I searched and searched every nook and corner of all three temples. My efforts ended in vain. I know I'll find you soon, I just don't know when. But let me tell you, I've gotten myself a friend. Another survivor. One that won't understand these vlogs, yet someone who'll stay with me, I hope. Meet Gregory! I found him sleeping on my couch when I returned home. He doesn't seem too old. I woke him up and he bolted across the bunker. All I had to do was tempt him with the fishes I gathered earlier this week. I really like this guy. I'm gonna go pet him a bit. I'll continue vlogging again later. This SD card is nearly full. I'll use the one I found last year on a crushed car. I hope it still does work. Bye now!"
Zone Phoenix, Camp David, The United States of America, Planet Earth:
"What am I looking at, Stefan?", The President asked the CEO of NSA.
"Rivermont said he'd be here to explain in a few, sir. Even I don't understand a single letter in here.", Stefan replied.
A black Porsche arrived at the gates of Zone Phoenix. The CEO of NASA entered the room to meet Stefan and the POTUS.
"What is going on Rivermont?", demanded the president.
"Calm down, sir. Everything is under complete control. Let me explain.", replied the NASA CEO with a casual smile on his face.
