I was starting to think that you wouldn’t get in touch. I don’t have much time. My contact inside Project Tendril has gone dark. That must mean they’ve been found out, which can only mean they’ll be coming for me next.
My contact was tailing the higher-ups at the facility to see if they could find where the Network is located. The last message I received was rushed and cryptic. They must have known that their communication would be monitored. It’s a wonder they managed to get anything out at all. I can’t make heads or tails of it, can you?
"They always started at dawn.
They take the road less travelled.
They burn bridges after they cross them.
They ride until the end of the line.
They know the right way to turn at a crossroads.
They know that X doesn't always mark the spot."
Once you find it, send me the location in a new email so this thread can’t be traced, and you’ll hear back from me soon. If you reply directly to this email, I will not respond.

Vulture Mines. That’s it! Classic villainy behaviour setting up their headquarters in an old abandoned mine shaft!
Now that we’ve narrowed down the location, I can try to hack into their network. I’m amazing, I know! But it's not going to be that easy. Even if I manage to get you into The Network, you’ll still need a Username and Password to avoid setting off any alarms.
If the Contact hasn't been caught, the only way to reach them will be through The Network. Get in, navigate your way through the database, and pray that they are still able to make contact with you.
Here is the link. Don't do something stupid like get the full force of the U.S. Government called on us!
Oh, and the contact sent me one last thing before they went dark:
“Make it ten past three on the map.”
I hope that helps somehow.
I’m going offline now, and I suggest you don’t linger long. Their tendrils are tightening around us.
