There’s an aged quality to the sound of the voice that plays from the tape recorder. Garbled but firm in annunciation, it’s clear that this was an intentional ploy to cover the vocal identity of the speaker. Static kicks in between pauses.
...Still, there’s a quality to the cadence that suggests this is a sophisticated copy, and not from the original source.
Salutations, passengers. Although you are not the initial 15, you will have gathered from the first tape that your predicament is the same. Down to every last detail, the scene of a vicious crime has been duplicated. The criminal who built this contraption may have been brought to justice, but the mystery was never solved...and the many innocent people who lost their lives have never known peace.
Although none of you have any connection to the event in question, you’ve nonetheless been brought here to solve the unsolvable mystery once and for all. Take heart, for I have not left you empty handed. Along with the original clues, I have hidden across the train the notes from the original victims.
Do keep in mind that their conclusions were ultimately incorrect...but perhaps you can figure out where they went wrong, and correct the narrative.
