Clementine!
You only get to hear this once, so listen closely!
Only two sets of circumstances lead to your seeing this: design or accident. I am hoping for the former, but I cannot be certain.
What if you are not prepared?
No matter, everything starts somewhere…
My name is Jonas Carlton, and I am your father.
I am sorry we have not had the chance to get to know one another, but it has all been for your safety. I have done what I believe is necessary to protect you. I have put you into cryostasis with the intent that Martha and Jed will find a way to keep you safe until…I am not entirely sure how long it will take them…but they will figure it out.
After they came for your mother, I knew the game had changed. If the Chairman has taken her, he will not stop there.
That is why you must be hidden like this.
Even now, I can hear her voice in my head, “Stick to the plan, Jonas, and adapt it to fit these circumstances.”
Neither your mother nor I can be there with you, so the Joneses were the next best choice. I know our old friends will stay true to their word and keep you safe.
Hopefully, Jed and Martha will explain some of it.
The important thing to know is that by activating this URL bar, you have set in motion a dangerous set of events. I am sorry about that, too. Unfortunately, I could see no other way to ensure the right things happen.
Too much is at stake here; it would never come down to me or your mother. It was always going to be you. They have not yet learned about you. Plenty will search for what they believe I am hiding, and that search eventually leads to you. I regret neither of us will be there to help, but the time we needed was never for us.
