Chapter 5: Day 5: Departure

After the talk between Tessa and CORE, click on the Rover and then Start the Tour and.......

 

Cut scene: Tessa and CORE leave the station in the rover to drive to the evacuation point

The evacuation point is at a lonely monolith but the other Rover is also her and......When Tessa walks to the other Rover she finaly meets Melissa Luna. 

After the initial conversation use the options to continue........Melissa Lund is Tessa Carter, they are the same person Continue talking and then end the conversation

After the conversation, Melissa drives away in the Rover and Tessa runs after it and she comes to an abyss. 

You control Tessa. Melissa walks with Tessa, If you move Tessa to the right then Melissa goes left and visaversa. If you move Tessa up then Melissa goes down and visaversa. You have to make sure that Tessa walks over bridge B to the other side at the same time that Melissa walks over bridge B to the other side. So Tessa must go to where Melissa is and Melissa must go to where Tessa is.  You can skip this minigame. If you go wrong then you must do it again.  This always ends with Melissa jumping down into the abyss, but  if you got Melissa at bridge A an Tessa at bridge B at the same time then Tessa goes on and enters the Tunnel

Tunnel

After CORE has scanned the tunnel walk forwards through the tunnel  and ...Electric beams from the wall connecyors are blocking Tessa's way 

CORE tries to solve this problem but isn't succesfull . Click on the connector and see what happens.....

CORE  sacrifies itself 

Exit the tunnel through the passage.

Cut Scene at the hospital.

Library

Tessa is now in a library.  It's all in her mind.

The library has 2 floors and Tessa is on the lower floor. Look around the library. Go sit in the chair to rest. 

Tessa sits in the chair and a phantom appears that looks like Tessa. 

Tessa stand up from the chair. Click the phantom. Tessa walks to the phantom who performe a dance.  It's a happy phantom

Door 2 appears. Go through door 2 and......

Tessa ends up at her old flat and we see Anthony and Tessa with baby Fin as a young maried couple. 

You can't do anything, just look and listen to learn more about Tessa in her earlier days

 

After this Tessa is back in the library. The phantom now sits at the globe. Look at the phantom again 

Go up the stairs to the top floor. Go through door 9.

Cut scene Tessa is in an office and the date is September 28th, 2002. Look and listen to the Tessa of 2002......you can't do anything.

Apparently the 2002 Tessa  works in this office and she gets a phone call from her husband Anthony. Look and listen to that phone call. It's late and Anthony isn't happy that Tessa is still at the office. Anthony's colleague has passed away and his funeral is tomorrow at 2PM. Anthony wants to know from Tessa whether she will be on time and whether she received his black tie back from Mark. However, Tessa is too busy with her work so she forgot to ask Mark about his black tie. Tessa has an important meeting  at the office tomorrow and she can't cancel it, so it's doubtful whether she'll make it to Noah's funeral on time tomorrow. Tessa also has to write a condolence card and  tell her boss when she wants to take up her vacation

After this Tessa is back in the library. Go downstairs. There are now 3 phantoms. 

Look at the phantom next to the globe and the phantom next to the table.  Upstairs door 14 shows up, Go upstairs and through door 14.

Cut Scene: September 29th, 2002, 11:00 hours, Office Meeting........you can't do anything, just look and listen.

The boss needs a new manuscript and they talk about it further. 

After the talk with Mark you see a scene  in the hospital and then we see a car accident . Tessa was driving and Mark Bennet dies

Forest and Church

You get control at the crashed car. Look at the crashed car and then at the number plate.  The number plate is the date on which Tessa and Anthony got married. Tessa 2002 and Mark Bennet 2002 are injured in the car. Mark dies and Tessa 2002 ends up in hospital. Go over the bridge to the church and enter the church

In the church walk to the coffin and the altar and then pick up the cross from the altar.

 The coffin is locked. Open the coffin with the cross

Mark Bennet's dead body lies in the coffin. Look at the glowing door to the left. Through the door we see Tessa in her hospital bed

Leave the church. Cut scene in the hospital.  Back in the library there are a lot of phantoms but they disappear. 

In the chair sits the Melissa phantom. Look and listen

After the conversation click the Melissa phantom in the chair and then go through door 2 again.

Home

Anthony puts baby Fin into his crib and then goes away to take a shower. 

You are now Tessa from 2002 and you have to take care of baby Finn to make him go to sleep, something which Tessa isn't used to do, being a career woman. 

Take the blanket that's hanging on the crib. Click on the bookshelf and then take Finn's favorite book "Guybrush's collected adventures".

Turn on the standing lamp, at Finn's crib. Take the two cuddly toys from the basket

It's the day of the meeting but do not start the meeting yet because you need to prepare yourself first. Go to Tessa's desk and use the computer.  

Click the "Author" folder and read about the manuscript that Tessa is secretly working on as Melissa Luna....

The titel of her book is "No Progress without Obstacles".

Then click the E-mail folder and  read the  E-mails from the other authors, they are: "A Penny", "Important Information", "Our last adventure cancelled", "Book cover", "Update No Progress without Obstacles", "How's it going",  You can use this information from the autorh's and their books in the meeting to give the correct answers on their questions.
