Hello???
Anyone?? Is anyone reading this? I have a new transmission coming through. It's urgent! Please, hello? Anyone? It's important you MUST read this!
Don't panic, but I have an urgent situation that needs sorting out right now! I think the signal's about to go so you better read this quickly! I left you a package the other day followed by some instructions earlier. Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN IT! I accidentally misplaced it for a box-bomb and it'll explode within seconds when opened, so do not go anywhere near it. Remove it from the premises asap!
Look right, I'm sorry for this so sudden message, but everyone's lives are in danger-including your's! So if you don't listen to me and read this message properly, then I'm sorry dude but it's all over for you. I'm losing signal so I better tell you the quick instructions myself. I don't want you going anywhere near the instructions or the box do you understand me? Good ok. So, step number 1) Grab your emergency kit that you and all the other crew have been provided with by the commanders 2) Write a letter to each of your cabin members explaining where you are going. (I will give you that information once we manage to receive a proper connection by telephone. 3) Make sure you collect only your important possessions.
Behind the cupboard in your cabin, there should be a safe in the wall. The combination is 5**7*8676**2*88****. Take everything inside then get out of there as quickly as you can, please.
You will be safe once your with me and my other crew and cabin members. But there's one last thing. In order to maintain your safety, please read the first word of every paragraph (excluding the 'anyone'.)
Good luck, sailor.
