[TEXT] [LOCKED TO NEW HIRES ONLY]

[bringinghopewithme]

[After doing everything he can to verify he's locked this correctly, i.e. asking Stacia to check if he did it right, Bunny presses forth with testing Lonestar's claims.]

Well I haven't been interrogated or tortured any more than usual. Do we trust this thing or not?

[EDITED The next day comes an additional video message -]

I realized two things. Some of you rightly guessed I lied about stealing keys from Jorgmund. Some of you pointed out Jorgmund might somehow be smart enough not to take obvious bait. Well -

[He holds up one paw, and twirls a keyring around one digit.]

It's not a lie anymore.

It got me into a closet and now we have - [He re-angles the camera to show: a metal hammer, multi-bit screwdrivers with a wide range of interchangeable bits, an adjustable wrench, a tiny screwdriver set for delicate work, and a small soldering iron.]

Anyone thinks they can do something useful with any of this, come see me. I'm keeping them hidden and I'm not telling any of you where until I know for sure who talks too much and who doesn't.

Everyone's gotta start building up their trust groundwork somewhere, right? Not tortured and not interrogated sounds like a pretty solid first step to me.

I'd say whoever set it up earned a fair chance.

Everyone has very good reason to have their doubts.

I just want to help. And I want to find a way home, the same as everyone else.

And I also don't want to die just because someone had a big mouth.

There are reasons I'd step forward and surrender myself. If Jorgmund wanted to torture one of you to find out who I am, for instance.

But if I get caught, or need to tell Jorgmund I'm guilty, I'd prefer those circumstances to be reasonably dire.

I try not to be too big on doubt. I'm more into giving the benefit of it.

Honestly, I've given it for way worse starting points than this. You're putting yourself at risk to do something really good here.

Is there anything to keep in mind using this that'll help you stay safer? Since I think we'd all like you as far from surrendering yourself as possible.
