Terminal Waypoint
“Village Tunnel” image by @aforgrave
I have continued to have success in avoiding the “sleep light” at lights out, and have made some additional progress in exploring the secret crawlspace I found beneath my cottage in The Village. After several successive evenings of further exploration, I have uncovered a vast underground labyrinth of tunnels and corridors. While I have encountered a large number of locked doors along my explorations, I have in one instance found a room within which I have discovered a piece of functioning network hardware.
The workstation seemed deserted when I came upon it, but it was logged on and there was a half-consumed cup of warm coffee beside it. I did not linger. I quickly created an account for myself and then hastily left when I suddenly heard a nearby toilet flush and water running in a sink.
Although the terminal has only allowed me a low-level access to a rudimentary network, I have managed to create and place a file on the network with the hopes that others may somehow access my file. I believe that if we can somehow work together, we may be able to somehow map out these tunnels and hopefully find some kind of exit that leads beyond the mountains.
I will return to this location sporadically. I do not want to encounter the coffee drinking user or any other wardens. I have discovered an adjacent room with some dusty, disconnected terminals. I do not know whether it might be possible to connect one to the Village network through my cottage phone. But I may try to move something up late one night when everyone is asleep and see if I can have some success with that.
