You have collated some informative notes, probably. Hopefully?

SAM: “So, the squared circle and the circled square are odd.”

BONNIE: “Clara and I saw a circled triangle - it was called ‘the centre’.”

ASH: “Does that symbol mean me, or my power, or what?”

SAM: “Not sure we know?”

Glaring at it intensely doesn’t seem to be solving anything.

SAM: “Was one of us secretly a linguist in their past life?”

DANIEL: “No?”

OMAR: “I’m going to go check if there’s anything on the roof. There’s a set of stairs just across the corridor, I won’t be going far.”

SAM: “Uh. Maybe you shouldn’t go on your own?”

OMAR: “I will be fine.”

SAM: “Right, but, uh. What if there’s more, like, mimic-people wandering around? We should do, um. Pairs? At least, right?”

DANIEL: “Buddy system?”

SAM: “Is that what it’s called?”

DANIEL: “Well, no, it’s called Obscura Protocols, I think.”

DANIEL: “Wait, why do I know that?”

OMAR: “Because you weren’t a linguist. Now, who wants to come be a ‘buddy’ with me while I go look and see what hit the roof?”
