Week 5 | Super Secret Message for the Conductor
[It's hand-written and formal as all hell, sorry not sorry.]
Dear Mr./Mrs./Mx. Conductor,
I have been informed by another player that it is possible to request special permission to remain awake during curfew, without the intention to perform an Erasure. I was told to speak with you specifically on this matter, as you had granted it previously.
This is therefore a formal request to be allowed such a privilege for this Thursday night/Friday morning. I fear my partner and I may soon be targets for Erasure ourselves, and only want the opportunity for self-defense.
Additionally, or alternately, in the case my request cannot be granted, I have a few questions about your involvement in this game.
1. What are you attempting to prove? If you cannot or do not wish to answer this, then let me revise: are you trying to prove something about our actions, or our reasons for acting? Is it about us, the players, at all?
2. Are you someone I have spoken to before? Or are you an outside observer only?
3. What are the consequences of running into the game's time limit versus "winning" by Erasing all of the Reapers? Will anyone still be chosen to return to life if we accomplish the former instead?
Thank you in advance for any cooperation.
- Dr. Gottlieb

Dr. Gottlieb,
I'm sorry, I can't give you special permission to be awake. If it helps, I think there are bigger fish for them to fry right now.
1. What I am trying to prove is for you Players, not about you. It does rely on your actions, though.
2. We've spoken before.
3. Every Player is judged individually. The time limit gives you more opportunities to meet the criteria for doing so. I can't tell you the criteria, I'm sorry. But I think you Players are on the right track. Consider the Reapers a secondary concern at this point in time.
