[Four days since the discovery of the previous message. A pair of our scavengers have found this second message on a patrol deeper into the dunes.]
10/31/2042
Hello my dear, I wish you the best on this special day. I remember the last Halloween before all this. You and I, dressed as zombies collecting enough candy for a thousand years. I’m working to restore that for us… to whatever extent I can.
However, our home in the valley will not be where that happens. The hawks are coming at an increasing pace. I’ve had to journey further into these twisted lands to evade their hunt. I am now well beyond the fourth gate, but I promise you, we will have everything we want in time. Remain strong, my darling…
Love, Sev

[Upon my presentation of the first message, Salvation Servant Cloud has advised us to pursue this mystery as closely as possible. With these instructions, I have altered scavenger patrol routines as follows:
All scavengers between Gates 3 and 6 are now tasked to hunt for “Sev".
Any leads/evidence must be reported upon discovery.
Failure to comply will result in divine judgement for your heresy.
“Sev” will be found in no time. As for the receiver of these messages, we have nothing. Further developments will continue to be documented.]
