Posted on October 27th, 2022.

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe. Y’know, I’ve got all this time for self-reflection, but I've never really seen my own reflection. There’s shiny bits of metal structuring around that give me a decent enough idea, but it’s still a little distorted. I look at it  and I'm just reminded that I don’t really know who I am. I don’t know, maybe identity has nothing to do with looks, Maybe identity is just who we are inside. Maybe all I am is a collection of influences. What I've heard, where I've been, who I've been with. Even if I don’t remember them… They played that song earlier today, the one that goes “All I know is all we are” It was either that or “All alone is all we are” Huh. But I think identity is something more than even all that I have almost no memories, but clearly I’m still somebody. Or I think I used to be at least. Maybe I can be a new somebody. Maybe I can be whatever I’d like to be. Heh, wouldn’t that be something? Anyways that’s all I got for today, see ya later spacefarers."

TRANSCRIPT: \*Incoherent, garbled, speech\*

MESSAGE ATTACHED: “This audio was transmitted from what I believe to be an abandoned Soviet satellite, one that seems to be from the 1970s. I’ve been trying to find this signal for months as it was interfering with local radio signals.  I figured out it was transiting from a satellite, but not one of any current directory. The audio itself is a loop, always playing this exact message, I can’t make out any words due to distortion and the likelihood that the language is Russian, but it sounds like a speech, or poem perhaps. Truthfully, I found this signal several days ago but I’ve found something even more shocking since then… I plan to share this finding tomorrow. In the meantime, if anyone can make out any words or knows how to get rid of the distortion, please please comment or reach out!!! You could be apart of something very exciting.”

SUMMMARY: Icarus updates listeners on the plan to open the airlock and sings a little tune.

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe. I’m a bit nervous today because I think it’s finally about time I try to close that airlock. I am at least 70% sure that I've wired the doors correctly so that the open airlock in the other cabin will shut and the door between the cabin and me doesn’t open first. That’s about the best odds I think I have to avoid having my limited oxygen supply significantly reduced. I’ll be wearing the suit and helmet just in case things go wrong, I’ve got to strap myself to the control board so I don’t get sucked out, which shouldn’t be too hard as I already have to strap myself to the floor to keep from sleep-floating. Now it may sound fun to sleep-float, but in reality you just smash into walls and stuff. Hopefully, getting access to the other cabin will give me some more clues as to what all happened to put me in this situation. Better yet, hopefully it lets me see what further damage the ship has taken, and maybe how I might fix it. I’ll be doing this tomorrow so tonight I'm just going to get- “Lost in music/ Caught in a trap and there's no looking back I'm lost in music / I'm lost in music” I’ll uh try and make something cool after this, If it’s any good I'll just send it through as its own transmission. And then later I'll send another one through telling you how this door thing goes. And if I don’t send a second one… Well, “we’ll float on anyway. Even if things end up a bit too heavy, we’ll all float on, alright, already.” See you later, spacefarers."
Transmission 020

Posted on November 13th, 2022.

**Summary:**

Icarus talks about the things he heard on the radio, and informs us that he got the control board working worse than before.

**Transcription:**

“Hello people of the universe! Today is apparently Thursday, which is the worst day on the community college base I pick up a radio signal from. It is the worst day because it is the day that insufferable Bradley gets his back-to-back sports radio hour and music hour, where he only plays Pearl Jam knockoff bands. (sigh) Creed. I usually turn it off but sometimes he will talk about something called hockey, and hockey sounds way more fun than any of the other sports. Bunch of huge guys dressed up like sharks or ducks or whatever, beating each other up with freezing cold sticks. I don't totally understand it, but it sounds fun. Anyway Bradley sucks, and so does Staind. And in other non-surprising news, I still haven’t fixed that control board. In fact, I actually messed it up more, because now it lights up even less. There’s now two sections that don’t light up, and still none of them work beyond that. But still, we’ll carry on, as the guy in that chemical marching band sang. We’ll carry on indeed.

See you later, spacefarers.

(starts singing “It’s Been Awhile” by Staind)

Oh shoot, forgot to stop recording.”

SUMMARY: Icarus gets back to work on the spacecraft and mentions his reliability on his transmissions and hopes that people from Earth will either get him back home or a star.

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe. As my radio signal is slowly beginning to fade away into the static oblivion, I am more determined than ever to get myself unstrapped off the floor and back to work. I’ve come to rely a lot on those broadcasts to keep myself going. Which was stupid, I should’ve known this would be a limited resource too. I should probably turn it off anyway to save battery. Probably shouldn’t even be making these for the same reason. I will keep making these as long as I can though. I need some connection to other people, even if it really is only one-sided now. Honestly, the worst part about trying to save battery is not being able to play my tunes over the ship’s speakers anymore. I only just hooked that up a couple days ago too. At least I figured out how to send the raw tape audio through as a transmission, like I did the past couple songs. I hope someone out there will hear them. Maybe the whole universe will hear them. Maybe the whole universe is already listening. Hello universe, make me a star. Not like those famous Holy Wood people or whatever. Make me the kind of star that shines so bright, You can hang a wish on it from the other end of infinity. Or at least get me home. See you later, spacefarers."

Posted on November 10th, 2022.

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe. It’s been another day like yesterday. My head hurts, I can barely think straight, I’m so hungry I can’t eat .I feel very sick when I try eating anything, and even though I still feel these hunger pains. These little music loops I've been making have been helping a lot. Sometimes I can get so into it, in fact, that I can actually kinda forget about everything for just a moment or two. I don’t want to show off most of these because well I’m not very good, I'm just learning how to make it, but I did learn about sampling from other artists’ music and was very inspired to try it today. I got lucky with this one too because I happened to be trying to record the end of one song when this one came on and I managed to get the intro, which is just perfect. I’ve been playing around with the machine mechanics a bit and was able to play with the pitch of the loops, as you might hear. This one has just been very fun, maybe you think so too. Here it is. (beat plays) Yeah, it’s kind of silly but these do bring me some necessary joy. I hope that one did the same for you. See ya later, spacefarers."
Gun

In Transmission 35, Icarus reveals that there is a gun on-board the ship. Icarus describes it as a "-Three barrels and a blade sticking on the bottom."

The closest possible weapon is likely the TP-82, a Soviet Era survival pistol commonly given to Russian cosmonauts to defend themselves from any predators when they land in the Siberian Wilderness. The TP-82 commonly has a small machete attached to the buttstock and its top two barrels are chambered in 40 gauge. Its bottom barrel is chambered in 5.45x39mm. A single fire rifle cartridge.

Summary:

Icarus gives us an update on the spacecraft. He informs us that he was able to see that the airlock that is on the next segment of the ship is open, and that it will definitely need fixing in order to enter any atmospheres.

Transcription:

“Hello people of the universe! I think it’s about time I updated you on the ship. Well, I’m sort of locked in this cabin here, but there is a whole other part of the ship that is, well, sealed off at the moment. The door won’t exactly budge and the control board isn’t exactly the most functional at the moment. Fortunately, the rations, communication equipment and all are in here with me, and I did manage to get a look at the other cabin. You see, there’s one piece of metal I can see out the window here that is angled just right to sort of catch the reflection of it. However, it seems that the airlock door to the cabin is uh. Wide open. And while this isn’t too big a problem without friction to slow us down, if I wanted to, say, enter some planet’s atmosphere, the depressurized cabin would likely make landing quite difficult. But I suppose those are problems for the improbable future that I actually make it back to anywhere. So, for now, I’m just glad I have air to breathe, food to eat and water to drink. My focus is entirely on getting the ship back running and maybe, just maybe making it home. Wherever that is.”
No Title - transmission 008

Posted on October 21st, 2022.

This is the first transmission we received from Icarus to the Spacefarers.

**Summary:**

Icarus tells us he has been sending these for an unknown amount of time, but that he has just now fixed the antenna on the transmitter. He tells us that he does not have any memory of much of anything, and that he is getting a radio signal from some community college radio channel.

**Transcription:**

“Hello people of the universe! Still not sure anybody is getting these, but I did manage to get to that antenna and I think I fixed it. In case this is the first that goes through, here’s the basics: I’m on a slowly sinking ship somewhere in space, I have little to no memory of who I am, how I got here or even where I am. I still have language, obviously. But no real clear memories. So far I’m only getting what I believe is called community college radio. Unsure what base that is, but their career fair was canceled this week. A good while ago I managed to connect to an antenna on the ship and have been hopefully transmitting these messages. Whether there’s anybody around to get them… who knows? Anyway, my memory is coming back in small, confusing bits so I’ll let you know how that comes along. The ship is quite damaged. Not sure from what but at least the fires have stopped. Mostly. I’ve got plenty of rations, should last me a decent while at least. That might be prolonging the inevitable, but if the community college base can hear this: instead of that career fair, maybe you could use that time to locate and save me. It sounds like y’all are low on funds however, so… uh. Crap”
Nuclear Warhead

In transmission 027, Icarus identifies a 'giant, roundish, metal object' in the next segment of the ship. It reads "W49 Nuclear Warhead".

The closest known nuclear weapon by title is a U.S. thermonuclear warhead, the W49, which is known to have been attached to two ballistic missiles between 1959 and 1965. These were 20 inches by 54.2-56.3 inches. This aligns with the large size that Icarus mentions, and the idea that the ship is U.S. controlled, based on the lockers containing U.S. spacesuits.
Transmission 039

SUMMARY: Icarus learns of the Artemis Launch and talks about his new music he's making.

TRANSCRIPT: “Hello people of the universe. More exciting news from Earth! I heard the last night a rocket ship, probably not too unlike mine, was sent off towards the moon. I don’t really know what the moon is exactly. But I do really like that Microphones moon song. (Icarus sings) I went out to feel alone there, I went back to wipe it clean, I took the lights and radio towers of my dreams. (Icarus stops singing) Good song. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Artemis! Great name! Anybody working on that mind picking me up? I’m sure it can’t be too far of a detour. I’ll uh keep a lookout for it, but I don’t see anything around that looks like how I’ve heard this Moon being described. Speaking of location, the navigation system is still not being nice to me. It’s just a spinning arrow, around and around it goes. I still got rations and all to hold out a decent while longer. But I still need very much to be making some progress soon. I’m still hardly using any fuel though. The thing that shows how much fuel there is, is definitely not going to get fixed. Small fires when I was first waking up ensured that much. But uh, the music stuff is going well. I organized together a small collection of some of the best I’ve made. Most of which I’ve already sent through. But right now I’m working on naming the songs, which is a fun distraction. Some are easy, like the ones with clear words like the ‘used to’ one or the ‘I need’ one. I don’t know what he’s saying after that, something. Anyways, I’ll get that sent out sometime soon. And uh yeah, looking forward to seeing this moon! See you later, spacefarers."
Transmission 014

Posted on October 27th, 2022.

TRANSCRIPT: “Hello people of the universe. As I mentioned a couple days ago, I may be alone in this spaceship now, but I certainly wasn’t at the start of this mission. According to some personal belongings I've found, there were three others at least planned to be on this ship. A couple of them left behind pictures, presumably of themselves, always with women next to them. While I haven’t quite been able to remember these people or what happened to them. There is an odd detail I noticed that might be worth something. In one of the pictures in the bag belonging to a Heracles, The man, presumably Heracles, is in his full spacesuit, holding the helmet to one side, and a woman on the other. Nothing seems out of place there, but the problem is that the suit and helmet in here doesn’t quite look like his. I’d say the most striking difference is that his suit is orange and his helmet is white, while my suit and helmet are both red. I’d be inclined to think it was just a different suit from a different mission, But the flag patches on the arm sleeves are also different. It’s a little hard to see exactly but Heracles’s flag patch is blue in the top left corner, with red and white stripes filling the rest of the space, While the patch on this one has a red rectangle taking up most of the space, with a golden insignia in the top left corner, a couple of tools it seems and a star above them. There’s red letters above that say CCCP, and the borders are white. The back of my helmet also says CCCP, but in white lettering. My first clear memory is waking up in this suit. I have to then presume that it’s mine, So why does my coworker have on an entirely different suit? I don’t quite know what this all means, but I'm just hoping he and the other two are safe somewhere. See ya later, spacefarers."

Posted on November 20th, 2022.

SUMMARY: Icarus explains the success on the airlock mission as well as finding the spacesuits of the missing crew members. Icarus also finds a warhead in the payload dock that brings back unpleasant visions.

TRANSCRIPT: "HELLO PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE!!! I AM LIVING STILL!!! I got the airlock shut, the cabin has been re-pressurized, and the door to that previously open cabin did not open until I wanted it to! We uh, gotta talk about what was in that cabin though. And we definitely have to talk about what’s in the payload dock just past it. The cabin connected to mine was smaller than anticipated, really just the airlock and four lockers. However, in those four lockers were four spacesuits. In those four spacesuits…were zero people. The suits are exactly as I described the one my former co-workers had on in the picture of him I found in his bag. Orange suits, white helmets, flag patches with blue in the top left corner, and red and white stripes filling the rest of the space. Except now looking closer, I see there are many white stars inside the blue part. The name patches read: Jason, Heracles, Theseus, and Orpheus. No Icarus. Now while all that alone has upended me mentally, what’s in the payload dock makes me feel even more uneasy. Through the little window here, the only thing in there seems to be a giant roundish metal structure. When I turned on the ship’s lights and went back to check I could read on the smaller, more pointed portion facing me the words, 'W49 NUCLEAR WARHEAD' Now I'm not sure exactly what this is, but reading the word WAR was enough to bring back the visions from my nightmares. If this device has any place in the world I see when I close my eyes, Then I don’t like it. I’m back in my cabin. The lights are back off. I don’t know what to do. When have I ever? See you later, spacefarers."
Magsingal

Magsingal is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It borders San Juan to the north, Langiden, Abra to the east, Santo Domingo and Bantay to the south and the South China Sea to the west. It is populated by 31, 308 people.

**History**

The name of the municipality came from the term "*Mayisingal*," an Ilocano term which means "to be moved." It was applied when the belltower was moved from a previous location to its current site.

Captain Juan de Salcedo had a hand in founding the municipality. But before he reached the current site of the poblacion, he came to a village called Malongon, about one-half kilometer to the south. The leader of the village refused Salcedo's request to establish a municipality there, but suggested that he establish the town a half kilometer north of the village, and the belltower be moved to that site, hence the origin of the town's name.

Itnegs were the original inhabitants of the place when Salcedo arrived. He worked for the conversion of the people to Christianity, but not all accepted the new faith. Those who refused conversion fled the town and settled east of Bantay Bul-lagaw (Bul-lagaw Mountain)

Magsingal is politically subdivided into 30 barangays. In alphabetical order

**History**

The place now known as Santa Cruz was the site where Captain Juan de Salcedo landed to get provisions, especially water, on his way to pacify the North. As soon as they came ashore, his men went immediately to the top of the highest sand dune and planted a big wooden cross to signify the place has been conquered by the white men (like what they did later in Santa Catalina). This cross is visible to mariners passing by, often describing the place as "Santa Cruz." The cross may have vanished, but the name *Santa Cruz* stuck, especially with natives who became Christians.

Santa

Santa is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It is bordered by Bantay to the north, Vigan, Caoayan to the west, South China Sea to the southwest, San Quintin, Abra to the east and Narvacan to the south. It is populated by 14, 992 people.

**History**

Santa is formerly named Santa Catalina de Alexandria, Virgen y Martir

According to Augustinian maps of 1831 and 1834, Santa was founded in 1576. The Augustinian established missionary centers in the towns of Vigan in 1575 and Santa in 1576. On the founding of Bantay in 1591 as a pueblo, Santa was made its “visita” until 1713 when it became an independent vicariate.

The church was dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, she is also the patron of the municipality of Santa Catalina.

The main town is formerly located in Barangay Nagpanaoan. A destructive flood called “Layos Bungsot” (literal: "Flood of Rotting") of 1852 eroded the first poblacion founded in 1576 and caused the town center to be transferred to a new site, which is about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the first site. Fr. Pedro Torrices started the new church in 1849-1855 and Fr. Luis Lagar finished it in 1875.

In 1905, another destructive flood, “Layos Nawnaw” (literal: "Dissolving Flood") motivated the people to transfer the poblacion to Pasungol in the southern part of the town in 1907. Don Domingo Bueno y Ramirez, the *presidente municipal* (town mayor), transferred the government, and the new poblacion was laid out. Circumferential roads were laid out in the shape of a spider web with the town plaza in the middle. A *hermita* made of bamboo and cogon grass was put up, and a one-storey primary school building was constructed.

The old church was destroyed because of the Abra river overflowing it's banks, causing the townsfolk to move it to a new site

Santa Maria is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It is bordered by Narvacan to the north, Pilar, Abra to the east, the South China Sea to the west and San Esteban and Burgos to the south. It is populated by 30,006 people. The dominant language is Ilocano and Tagalog is also spoken here.

**History**

Santa Maria is originally a visita of Narvacan. The present town was founded In 1767 with it's church now located on top of a hill but before, the twin chapels now resembling the present church is located on the foot of the hill. The northern chapel is dedicated to Señor Santo Cristo while the southern chapel is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary's assumption into heaven. The image of the virgin, dating back from 1769 would be missing on her chapel. Townsfolk would find the image on the foot of a large guava tree that grew and stood where the church now stands.

Santa Catalina

Santa Catalina is a 5th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It is bordered by San Vicente to the north, Bantay to the east, Vigan to the south and the South China Sea to the west. It is populated by 14, 493 people.

History

When the Augustinians were busy with the Christianization of the Ilocos Region, a group of missionaries sailed westward through the river known as "El Mestizo" to the place now called Santa Catalina. They were also looking for fresh water, since the area where he landed yielded only salty water. When they finally found a fresh water spring up north, and were busy quenching their thirst, some of them saw an image of a beautiful lady near the place where he drank, which disappeared after a few minutes. One of them recognized the image as that of Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The Augustinians returned to Villa Fernandina (Vigan) and reported this matter to their superiors. This resulted in the construction of a church in the town with Saint Catherine of Alexandria as the patron saint. It was also declared that *Santa Catalina* be the name of the town.

A replica of the cross once planted by Salcedo and his party—to signify that the Spanish has conquered the area—stands near the entrance to the municipality.

Santa Catalina is politically subdivided into 9 barangays. In alphabetical order

**History**

As soon the Spaniards colonized the Philippines, Spain sent missionaries to spread Christianity, on of heir purposes in their colonization. Christianity was then spread throughout the Philipiines. The Spaniards organized group's called pueblos and divided these into sitios for easier proselytization and evangelization. From then on, the pueblo built tribunals for the Spanish government and churches and converts for the missionaries to live. Because the Muslim were the champions of Islamic religion and because they considered war as an occupation and piracy as a hobby, they raided Christian pueblos along China Seacoast of the Philippines.

In June 1578, Spain started the Moro Wars in Jolo. This aggressive act marked the beginning of a long, bloody conflict between Spaniards and the Moros. In 1602, Spain sent punitive expeditions to Zamboanga, Cotabato and other places to curb the rising tide of Moro depredations. In were built along the seacoasts from Mindanao to Luzon. Armed galleys and frigates patrolled the sea-lanes. The Moros stopped the raids for a while. The Moros renewed their piratical forays. In 1717, they swept the Visayan Islands and attacked Aparri and Northern Luzon. According to an old resident, Moro pirates entered the pueblo known today as Santiago in their return to Jolo. Guards in the watchtowers sounded their trumpets warning all the people of the pueblo of the arrival of the pirates. The church bells also rang alarming the people that pirates are fast approaching the shore. The people rushed and got their available arms like bolos, bows and arrows and fought the pirates boldly. Sporadic battles ensued. These lasted for few hours. As the battle went on, the missionaries stations=greater which they bought with them from Spain and held it high facing the seashore praying fervently the rosary with few people, for the safety and victory of his Christian followers, The Moros ran away and fled southward in their kumpits leaving behind their dead. After the battle, a solemn mass was held in the church. The missionary told the people that due the great intercession and miraculous protection of the image of St. James the Greater from the Moro Pirates, this pueblo was saved and in his honor, this town was named Santiago (Spanish for Saint James).

SUMMARY: Icarus explains his declining will to do anything as well the radio broadcast becoming weaker. Icarus also ponders on the missing four crewmates.

MESSAGE ATTACHED: <This transmission was posted automatically in the case of an emergency>

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe. It’s taken a lot to do much of anything today. I didn’t get much sleep and the radio has been gradually getting more staticky. Luckily, I've been saving as many samples as I can. I have a limited supply of magnetic tape here, but I've been quite resourceful with it. I have to stay resourceful with everything. Luckily, it doesn’t take tape to record these. I still try and limit them because I'm not entirely sure if there’s a space limit. Heh, running out of space in infinite space. I probably shouldn’t laugh. Oh how rarely is irony funny to one caught in it’s trap. I mean it’s not lost on me that I can have hope in the most hopeless situation imaginable. Talk about ironic. Or how about this, A mission meant for four people ending up with one remaining person, and that one person probably not even being one of the original four! I mean at this point I have to assume I just wasn’t supposed to be here. This red suit without a name on it must be mine, I must be responsible for the disappearance of now, four men, I guess. Unless Icarus and Orpheus are the same person? Why different names on the suit and the bag then? I’ve been referring to myself as Icarus for this long that I'll just keep using it. I have to hold on to some part of myself. With every new step I take forward, It feels like something pushes me back. At the end of every day I have only a song to sing, but no one to hear it. “Starry configurations, I'm just a receiver. Divine recombinations, I'm just a recordist.” See you later, spacefarers."

**Summary:**

Icarus talks about his stress and anxiety about his situation, and reminds us of the beat up state of the spacecraft.

**Transcription:**

“Hello people of the universe! Look up! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s just me. Still stuck up in some corner of the cosmos. I’m trying not to let my fears get the best of me here, but it’s shockingly difficult to alleviate anxiety when you’re trapped in a floating tomb out in the vast, vast expanses of, well, nothing much. Doesn’t help that I can’t remember how to fly this thing. Helps even less that the ship doesn’t seem to be in its uh… ideal shape. I will say, there is some… unexplainable comfort to be had in an open view into the endless nothing. Maybe because it means I’ll be able to see any potential threats coming. Although... they’d be able to see me just as easy and I have nothing to defend myself with… but I think it has something to do with the childhood I otherwise don’t recall much of. Who knows? Certainly not I. Anyways, tune in tomorrow I guess for my continued mental decline. I’ll uh, be here.”

SUMMARY: Icarus makes comments on classical radio and introduces a new beat.

TRANSCRIPT: "Hello people of the universe! I speak to you today as a calmer man than I was yesterday. The anxiety of everything catches up to me sometimes,  But I am very thankful for music for bringing some peace. Shoutout to Newberry for the splendid hour of classical music last night, It mostly put me at ease, Except for the uh Stravinsky stuff she introduced. What really helped was making something of my own out of a sample I got earlier yesterday, Shoutout to Foster and their FFVH show for the tune, I don’t know who made the song originally, But I hope I did it justice. Let me know what you think! Oh wait, yeah you can't. Uh hope you enjoy!"
San Ildefonso

San Ildefonso is a 5th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It borders Santo Domingo to the north, San Vicente to the west and Bantay to the south and west. It is populated by 8, 190 people.

**History**

San Ildefonso, like many other places in the provinces at the beginning of the Spanish Regime, did not have a name. Sometime in 1625, its inhabitants decided to give it a name, but nothing came out after more than five hours of discussions. So while thinking of a name, they decided to go fishing for a week. And while preparing to go fishing, they saw a box floating not far from shore. Wading to reach the box and carrying it ashore, they opened the box to find a statue of Saint Ildephonsus. The young women of the place carried the statue to the center of the village, where it was enshrined in a small hut for many years. He became the patron saint of the municipality, and his name was decided to become the name of the fledgling municipality.

San Ildefonso was a former *rancheria* of Bantay before it became a municipality, but because of its size it was annexed to Santo Domingo as a barrio. In 1921, Assemblyman (and future Philippine president) Elpidio Quirino worked to convert San Ildefonso into a municipality again.

San Ildefonso is politically subdivided into 15 barangays. In alphabetical order

* Arnap

Caoayan

Caoayan is a 4th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It borders Vigan to the north, Santa to the east and the South China Sea to the south and west. It is populated by 19, 574 people

**History**

During pre-Spanish times the port of Pandan was an important trading post for Chinese and inter-island vessels, and one of the commodities once traded there was bamboo. With the arrival of the Spaniards came the project to identify the names of places in the Philippines. Spaniards, patrolling the area for pirates known as *tirong,* came to a place near the island called Puro, and asked the name of the place. Thinking that the Spaniards wanted to know the name of the bamboo floating in rafts on the Baggoc River waiting to be traded, they answered "*kawayan*." The Spaniard then listed the place's name as Caoayan.

From that time on, the place's registered name was *Caoayan*, and has been registered as a barrio of the capital town Bigaan. It became a parish in 1825. The first missionaries that founded Saint Paul College of Ilocos Sur landed in Pandan. A commemorative marker stands at Pandan Port to commemorate the event.

The Our Lady of Hope Parish Church was founded in 1825. The image of the Virgin carries the Infant Jesus and an anchor, symbolizing that she is the Star of the Sea and the Virgin of Hope and Guidance.

It became a municipality in 1911.

Caoayan is politically subdivided into 17 barangays. In alphabetical order

Santo Domingo

**History**

During the Spanish era, an enlisted man of the Spanish Civil Guard, Pablo Arquero, looked for the source of the santol being sold in the markets of Ciudad Fernandina (now Vigan City) on Sundays during the months of June to August. To do so, he asked for a leave of absence from his platoon leader to trace the source of the fruits. With his Ilocano guide, he searched the lands north of Villa Fernandina. He found nothing in the neighboring towns of Bantay, Santa Catalina, San Vicente, and Bantaoay (now San Ildefonso). He finally found many santol-bearing trees in a place north of Bantaoay now called Barangay Pus-uac. He has found the "Paggappuan ti Santol ti Domingo." The town was named Santo Domingo on account of this feat.

Don Pablo Arguero was claimed to be the founder of the municipality on May 12, 1742, with Father Tomas Millan as the first parish priest. Father Millan laid the foundation of the belfry, where the great Filipino hero Diego Silang once worked as a boy.

San Esteban

San Esteban is a 5th class municipality in the province of Ilocos Sur. It is bordered by Santa Maria to the north, Burgos to the east, Santiago to the south and the South China Sea to the west.

**History**

he Spaniards named the pueblo (the equivalent of a municipality in present-day terms) San Esteban (formerly known as *Cabagbagototan*) because they have received reports of a vagabond named Iban having been stoned to death and beheaded by hostile natives in the place called "Naglawlawayan," which is an early place of worship by the natives, and currently the site of the municipal cemetery. "Iban" is the Ilocano equivalent of "Stephen," hence the pueblo being named San Esteban.

San Esteban was founded by Augustinian friars in 1625, but was always attached to Nueva Coveta (present-day Burgos) and to the municipality of Santiago until 1911. It was once a *visita* of Narvacan because of a shortage of ministers.

San Esteban is politically subdivided into 10 barangays. In alphabetical order

* Ansad

Two different Villains Chapter 2

## Transcript

After Aden's death, nobody seems to notice the potential danger that all of us are going to face, except me.

And soon, more than half of the class is absent. Therefore, we have no class at all because of class suspension until we have found everyone. Iknow it's Levi and Roderick’s plan. Luckily, Rufus, Trainer and Oscar Lau also change their mind and notice the same thing as I notice. I told the others where I have found Aden's corpse and assume that PAT is the place that Levi and Roderick will finish the targets off after hunting them. We are planning a operation that rescue people who are still alive.

Alright, here is the names list that Levi and Roderick haven't captured, which I manage to steal it:

Me (Cyrus)

Rufus

Trainer

Oscar Lau

Jacob

Ivan

Samantha

Joyce

Jacob

Zachary

Oscar Cheng

We cannot lose anyone, so not all of us will participate the rescue operation. Me, Rufus, Trainer, Oscar Lau, Jacob and Ivan will be the only people to rescue the hostages. The plan is Jacob will charge in the PAT and distracts Levi and Roderick, that will buy Rufus and Trainer time to rescue the people who is still alive. Me and Oscar Lau will act as Rufus and Trainers’ shields in case they are attacked during the rescue operation. Ivan will be act as a getaway in case the operation is backfired. Let's hope the plan goes well.

We arrive outside the PAT and prepare the rescue operation. Just Jacob is about to charge in, Kylie, Alex, Phoebe and Toby come out from nowhere. Apparently, they were hiding at Joshua Hall for a while to avoid being captured. So, there is a little change of plan. Toby, Kylie, Phoebe and Alex will help Rufus and Trainer to save the hostages.

Well, that is surprising, Jacob is fighting against Levi and Roderick and he accidentally kills Levi. We also rescue the hostages and Roderick is under arrested.

Well, there is no longer class suspension and everything goes back to normal. We all are sorry for Aden's death but we soon get through.

As for Roderick, we put him in Joshua Hall, and no one has seen him ever since.

But one night, while he is sleeping, someone wakes him up, and Roderick can see is a stranger untying him but he soon recognises the stranger, and that guy is me. Roderick is frightened and asks why I was here. I said that I came here to end this chaos once and for all. All Roderick can do is screaming but it doesn't last long as I finish him off. I stare at Roderick's lifeless corpse and I start my evil laughing, laugh like someone going insane.

After a while, I leave and meet up with the boss explaining the current situation. ‘Good. Those two are too weak as we can easily defeated them. Perhaps it's our turn now: Said the boss. 'Then, what will we do now?' I asked. ‘Finish off what Levi and Roderick left! The boss replied. And both of them laugh like maniacs.

Next morning, Carson enters the Joshua Hall and founds Roderick dead lying on the ground with blood everywhere. He immediately runs back to tell everything, Little does Carson know that he and the others will face the second wave of potential damage, and it will be much worse than the previous wave.
The Garden

## General Information

The Garden is outside of the First Floor accessible from The Kitchen. It leads to The Barn and the The Shrine.

## Introduction

The Garden

This once beautiful garden has long since fallen into disrepair.  Neat rows of what used to be vegetables now hold a variety of weeds.  A white picket fence surrounding the yard is missing slats in places, and covered with ivy in others.  Much of the yard is covered in shadow, due to the large barn in the North.  A gate to the East blocks you from a winding path that leads into the forest.  (A window hangs open, approximately twenty feet above you.  You don't remember seeing a window in the bedroom.) *[Only after you visited The Master Bedroom]*

You can see a wilted carrot here.
