Thank you for providing your clearance codes, Doctor Dellen.

The following files are recordings of voice messages between the third group of test patients for Project Bunny. 

The whereabouts of Subject N and S are currently unknown. We have also been unable to locate the parents of Subject S. They were not test subjects but have unfortunately been involved. 

The subjects must be located as they currently present a great risk to the public. 

Unfortunately, it appears we have the same end result with these test subjects, and Subject T is once again loose. If this gets back to the Department of Science, we are all going to be losing our jobs, so once they have been located, they should be returned to the facility and incinerated. 

Please do not share these files outside of the facility. Failure to adhere to this command will result in termination and death. 

Starting playback now.

Hi Nat, 

It’s Sydney. 

Hope you’re doing okay. 

Was good to get your email this morning. I know that things got a bit crazy last time we spoke, and I’m sorry. I really want to work it out. 

It would be good to talk if you’re around at some point this week… Sucks that we keep missing each other, but I know how busy work gets for you around this time of year. 

I got the link for Bunny Hollow that you sent me this morning, and it looks cool. Maybe we could play it together sometime if you’re free?

Thought you weren’t talking to me haha.

I’ve downloaded it, so I might try it tomorrow when I finish up at work. 

I’ve never heard of it before actually. No reviews anywhere either. It looks like a fun way to relax though. I saw you added me as a friend already, which is good, so I won’t be hopping about on my own haha. 

I’d better head to bed, but I’ll catch you tomorrow if you’re about. 

I… I really miss you. 

I’m not trying to make you feel guilty, alright, it’s just how I feel. 

I get that you’re busy, and that’s fine, I just miss you, that’s all. 

And… well, I love you, but you don’t need me to tell you that. 

Call me, or message me in the morning, yeah?

Hi Nat,

It’s Syd. 

Good to hear from you at last haha. 

You sound a bit croaky babe. Are you under the weather? 

I could come round tonight with some dinner, if you like? 

It would be really great to see you.

Hi Nat,

On the way now. 

Picked up chips for tonight, hope that’s okay. Got you an extra bread roll as usual. 

Also got you some cough mixture for your throat. 

Can’t wait to see you.

Nat, it’s Sydney. 

Where are you? 

Why was your front door wide open? 

I’ve looked all through your flat and can’t find you.

I’m getting a bit worried… can you give me a ring? 

Going to head next door and see if the neighbours know where you are, but you need to ring me, okay? 

I love you.

Natalie, will you please pick up the phone or reply to these messages. 

I just need to know you’re safe. 

Next door said they haven’t seen you in days, and your parents haven’t heard from you. 

What’s going on? 

I’m trying not to panic, so just call me back okay? 

I’m at your flat. 

Whatever’s going on, we can sort it.

What? 

Natalie, I don’t understand. 

Please can you actually answer the phone? I feel like we’re getting nowhere with the voice notes, so please just answer and then…

Your computer is on… so you have been here, then? 

Why can’t you just come home, or call me? 

Natalie, I’m trying not to freak out here, but…

Natalie, I’m really starting to worry, because… 

Oh… 

Oh wow, what a cute little bunny. 

You were playing Bunny Hollow before you went out? 

It is a very cute bunny… her ears and tail look so fluffy and soft… 

Such a cute, fluffy bunny, with such shiny, special eyes…

I suppose I could… 

Well, I am trying to find you, and I guess the best thing to do is wait here for a while until you come back, right? 

So while I do that, I could look at the bunny… 

Such a pretty bunny…

Let me just put all this stuff down, and then…

Hey Nat. 

Lost track of time… 

It’s a good game. 

Cute bunnies. Really cosy. 

So… warm. 

Feels like… home. 

When are you coming home? 

Hmm. 

Twitch. 

I really need to see you, okay? 

I can’t really remember why I was coming over actually. What was that about? Can’t believe I forgot that you were away for work. 

It was great to play with you, but we need to meet properly. 

We should play together soon too. We should collect more bunnies. 

Such cute bunnies. Fluffy and warm, with such beautiful eyes…

Such…

Will you call me soon? 

Twitch. 

Heading home now, so please let me know when you’re back from… well, I can’t remember where you said you went, but just call me when you’re back okay? 

I love you.

Nat, are you logging in today? 

You have to hurry. 

Lost a few hours, I guess… It’s a lot of fun though. 

Hope you’re online soon. 

So many bunnies to see, and so many bunnies to be. 

I miss you.

Play soon? 

I collected another glowing bunny mask. 

Can’t take it off. It looks perfect. 

Makes my eyes tingle and feel funny. 

Fell right out of the screen like magic when I clicked on it. 

I couldn’t believe it. 

How lucky am I? 

Miss you.

Hiya Natalie, it’s Sydney’s Dad. 

I was just wondering if you’ve heard from her at all? 

She was due round at ours tonight for her tea, but she hasn’t shown up, and we can’t get hold of her. 

Give us a quick ring back love, alright. 

Cheers.
