Buffer Memories

Buffer Memories are narrative Collectibles found in Survival Mode on Computers powered by the Aurora that provide insight into the lives of the residents of Great Bear Island before the First Flare. They are also the main objective of the Archivist Challenge.
They take the form of either a Laptop or Computer Monitor.
Buffer Memories are only active and obtainable during an Aurora; they may not be obtainable right away when the Aurora starts despite the computer screens lighting up. It can take up to 30 minutes of in-game time for the screens to become clickable. While only a single memory is displayed per night, it is possible to trigger the appearance of another one of the available memories by leaving and re-entering the scene where the computer is. This is not a systematic change and may take several reloading of the scene or interior for the change to take place or not work at all, forcing you to wait for the next Aurora. For screens like the laptop out in the open at the Shortwave Tower in Forlorn Muskeg, leaving the region entirely is necessary but isn't guaranteed to change the memory.
Alphabetical list of buffer memory locations
There are 5 buffer memories at the Mystery Lake, all found at the Camp Office.
Camp Office (5)
Found downstairs on the laptop computer.

Bear activity around the Mystery Lake Region is pronounced, although human interaction by all accounts is very rare. This is to be expected this time of year, and based on the available data we can make the following conclusions: |
| Filename: LOG_UPLOAD(9).doc (2/5)
Suggests adaptation to the new seasonal high temperatures. Recommend further study to confirm shift in migration. Previous observations confirm their presence. |
| Filename: LOG_UPLOAD(2).doc (3/5)
What a time to be out here, Shari! I made the right decision. Observations are going well, and I hope to be done with research here on the southern end of the island by the end of the week. Locals tell me I should have through the end of the month before any weather starts getting in the way of my plans to head north. Tell Dr. Chase the data look promising wrt his publication date. |

Predatory species, if introduced could see a profound devastation of Mystery Lake’s local fish stocks. We will need to follow up to check whether there are attempts to introduce these invasive species deliberately. |
| Filename: LOG_UPLOAD(3).doc (5/5)
Will be expecting their return this winter, but end results remain unknown. I hope to gather additional data on this phenomenon next spring. Continued logging could be a factor to consider. |
Carter Hydro Dam (10)
There are ten buffer memories in the Dam, split equally between the Upper and Lower Dam areas.
Carter Hydro Dam - Upper (5)
Found on a desktop computer in the upstairs office room.
| Email exchange between Geoff and Teddy Wallace, two brothers, 21 and 25, Dam employees |
|---|
| Subject: Lower Dam sketchy windows (1/10) From: Ted Wallace To: Geoff Wallace Hey Geoff, just finished my shift. Couple things -- keep an eye on the windows in the Lower Dam. The wind’s really been picking up down there this week and those old windows don’t look too sturdy. Just stay safe when doing your rounds, brother. This whole place is falling down around us. |
| Subject: Keep your head up (2/10) From: Geoff Wallace To: Ted Wallace Teddy, just a heads up for when you clock in tonight, old McPherson finished off a whole bottle again and is sleeping it off in his office. Not the first time, I know, but the schedule is still the schedule. FYI I patched some concrete around Turbine #2 today. It might still be wet when you get here. |
| Subject: Clarke visit (3/10) From: Ted Wallace To: Geoff Wallace Geoff, please plan on backing me up when Mr. Clarke visits next week. McPherson won’t say it, but we need more help out here. You and I can’t get this work done on our own. Not sure why you can’t just see things my way for once. |
| Subject: Re: Clarke visit (4/10) From: Geoff Wallace To: Ted Wallace Roger that on the meeting with Clarke, Teddy. It’ll work out. I’m still grateful for the work, even if this whole project is pretty crazy. Once I patch my boat this Spring you’ll see it was worth it. Back out on the water, finally! Have a good shift. |
| Subject: Guess who's back? (5/10) From: Ted Wallace To: Geoff Wallace Geoff, don’t forget to talk with McPherson after you clock in today. Remember that trapper we hired to clear wolves from Winding River last Fall? McPherson found him lurking inside the fence line yesterday, uninvited. He slipped away as soon as McPherson spotted him, but we’ll want to keep an eye out, after what happened last year. We don’t want that guy just wandering around. He’s been out in the woods a long time, and is so...unpredictable. Creeps me out. |
Carter Hydro Dam - Lower (5)
Found on the desktop computer at the very rear in the office (in the room with the broken window used to enter the Dam from Winding River.

Vaughn left through the Winding River exit again without his safety harness. I've asked Teddy Wallace to check his gear next time Vaughn has work out on that side. Has my request for additional help been processed yet? Some of these guys are loose cannons. |

Witnessed Benton improperly accessing service panel #7 on the second turbine. He will get himself killed, or lose an arm to an electrical burn the next time he does this. |
| Filename: MCPHERSON_54.DOC (8/10)
he didn't say, but what he did find was Hays on the ground in the main bathroom. He said he slipped on water from the ongoing leak we've been dealing with. A fractured elbow, which means we're down a man during the refit. |

Conduit D caught fire in the lower corridor, but the suppression system failed. The Wallace brothers were first to arrive and managed to contain it. I'd like to see their response recognized by the company, which you can read in the attached memo. |
| Filename: MCPHERSON_33.DOC (10/10)
We spotted that local trapper again, our "ghost." This time he was lurking out beyond the boundary of the Dam's property. He seems to know some hidden trails to pass over to Winding River without dealing with our fence line. If in next quarter's budget, please send some company reps to make contact with him. We badly need the local help, and he might be a good contact. |
There are thirteen buffer memories in Mountain Town, split between three locations.

After a long walk around town, I found myself in front of St. Christopher’s again. Even with Father McGill gone many months now, I still find some joy in tending what’s left of the back garden and sweeping out the dust from the Sanctuary. It warms my heart that several of us have banded together to keep the place feeling alive, at least for now. I know our little chores have eased the feeling of being left behind. Ah, Milton. |
| Filename: diary_4.doc (2/13)
With the weather turning cold again, and Jason gone more and more, I have been walking a lot. It is a balm to the slow, freezing, stillness that creeps up on us every year. And sometimes, with a gentle breeze pushing my hair back as I look down over the Basin, I don’t miss Mass at all. God is with us here, in this place. |
| Filename: diary_5.doc (3/13)
Jason left again this morning on another trip. Americans out of Anchorage this time. Here to see just how wild it gets on Great Bear. You would think they'd get enough of that at home. They will get all they can stomach, and maybe more, but at least they have the best guide on the Island to show them the way. I try not to cry when he leaves, but I always see something of our little family in his tired face. And when I do, his belief makes my own stronger. So I cried a little, just for a moment. This time Steph saw me getting upset which seems to bother her more and more as she gets older. Even at ten, her resolve and sharp eyes warm my heart. I see her father in her face, too. |
| Filename: diary6.doc (4/13)
I ran into Susan yesterday and asked her how the video chat sessions with Father McGill were going. She did not say much. But then again she didn’t come to our reading last week or the week before either. I know those of us left behind are not what she really wants, but it is all we have. I wish she could see that. It is so easy to be afraid of friends, and of love. And she has enough of her own grief after what happened. Out here, isolation can become its own special wound. I will check in on her again next week. |

I walked Steph to the schoolhouse this morning, and then went up to the park on my lunch break. I brought some cheese and an apple, and read a bit at the benches up there. It was cold and bright, at first. Great weather for eating and thinking. The basin looked gorgeous, in that way you see all over Great Bear, where each day’s horizon feels unique somehow. As soon as I tossed my apple core over the edge, it started lightly snowing. A vast, grey haze had settled over the valley below. A wolf howled, but from somewhere far away. Even as things have changed over the last years, and neighbour and friends have moved to the Mainland, I still do not regret our choice to remain here. I think Steph is starting to see this and understand it too. There is something wild, hard, and stubborn growing in her, but also kind. I smile when I think about it, perhaps selfishly. Rejecting pride also means finding ways to leave control behind, and let others, even your own daughter, find her own way from time to time. A good day. I hope my apple sprouts a tree this spring. |

Higgins wasn't at his spot this morning. Odd. Can't remember the last time that happened. |

After three years here, it's starting to feel like home. Still, we get fewer and fewer pieces of mail. For the all the letter writing folks in Milton get up to, it's a shame they receive so few responses. |

A small package came in this morning and it's been in shipping limbo for a while, by the look of it. No surprise these days, but a minor miracle it got all the way here from Toronto. If freight has opened back up again, that's a great sign. |

My usual Mainland contact has stopped returning my calls and emails. Supplies are low, and people are starting to notice the delay. Peter |
| Subject: School Trip (11/13) From: Dak To: Peter Good 15 Candy Bars, 10 packets of Beef Jerky, 5 cans of peaches, 15 bottles of Water. (Who knew kids could eat this much in a weekend?) Add this to next order, please.** |

| Subject: Patience (13/13) From: Peter Good To: Hank McDermott Hank, I can barely get dog food delivered out this far right now. Quit asking me to restock the beer fridge. You'll just have to wait like the rest of us. Believe me, when they arrive, I'll buy you one myself. - Peter |

One more trip up north. The way things are going it'll be the last, either way. But walking away right now feels good, if there's any good left in all of this. |
There are eight buffer memories in Coastal Highway, found at the Fishing Camp (at the Rabbit Grove on Interloper, since the house at Fishing Camp is destroyed) and at the Quonset Garage.
Found on a laptop computer inside the cabin at the furthermost edge of Fishing Camp. This cabin is broken when playing Interloper - on that difficulty, the laptop is instead found in the cabin at Rabbit Grove.

With prices as they are, it pays to fish. But only if I can get the damn things into my boat. The funding and supplies to refit they promised if I helped with that fish survey don’t seem to be showing up. At this rate I’m better off them sending me chewing gum to patch up my dory. |

With all the lines I put out today, I was happy to get some decent returns. Been a while since I put down numbers like that in my book. It’s not anything like a recovery, but it lines up with the idea I’ve been havin about the Mainland fleet and their movements. |
| Filename: LOG-856.doc (5/5)
My ropes are fraying so badly I don’t think another repair for some of these lines is going to do it. I wonder when I can expect delivery of the supplies I ordered. A sailboat without a sail doesn’t do anyone any good. |

Tanker truck finally made it down here from up-Island. Wasn’t our regular driver, rather some guy they drafted into the job at the refinery it sounds like. He couldn’t say when the next trip down would be. It doesn’t seem too bad, seeing as we don’t get too many passing through these days. Bothers me more that the refinery is having trouble filling their orders. I can’t imagine propane and heating oil are in good shape if they can’t even ship out their gasoline on time. Even with more and more electric cars making their way out here, finally, we still need that delivery. |

Apparently a small tree tipped over in the storm last night. It was leaning up against the side of the Garage when I pulled up this morning. And what did I see walking around up there? A wolf. I almost choked on my coffee. I left her be, and when I went out later she was gone. Bill Farney stopped to fill his truck with some of his crew and they were able to chop it up. I paid them in timber. Even now, the Island still has a few tricks I haven’t seen before. Folks at my old plant on The Mainland would have lost it if they saw this. |

Water is leaking through the floor around the drive mechanism up top. The sealant up there looks shot. I went down to Hibernia the other day to see if they had a bit of something I could patch it with, but no luck. A useless bunch, like always. But the fellows there have their own problems, by the looks of it. |

The main drive jammed up last night, but no damage to the lens or other components as far as I could tell. A lot of grease and some work with the mallet got it going again. That’s the third time this month we had a breakdown at night. Seas are rough enough this time of year. Anyone coming around the point doesn’t need us making it harder on them. |

An odd fellow tuned up yesterday, banging on my door. He was frozen solid, and said he’d come through the old mine, up the coast from the Townsite. I warmed him by the fire and gave him hot tea, some of my last. He had dark stories about goings on around the rest of the island, and claimed he was heading north up the highway. The worst of things since the Collapse hadn’t reached us down here at the Point yet, he said. I warned him about the damage to the road and bridges he was going to run into, but it didn’t faze him. He was sleeping right there on the damn floor in front of the stove when I left him. When I came back down after working some on the lens, he was gone. |

| Subject: NOTICE (2/5) From: DeepWild Adventure To: Manny Douglas We are sorry to inform you that due to ongoing instability in our fuel supply chain, we will have to re-time your planned extraction from our DeepForest Experience on majestic Great Bear Island. Please be aware, it may take up to 7 business days before we can reschedule. Thank you for your understanding and patience, DeepWild |

| Subject: CONTACT (4/5) From: Manny To: Greg Greg, when you get this, contact my lawyer and fill them in on what’s happening out here. I can’t get a response from DeepWild and at this point I don’t expect one. |
| Subject: Safe? (5/5) From: Manny To: Greg I’m still holed up with some locals. I’m not sure they’ve ever left this island or would even know how to. They seem to be losing patience with me. Have you had any luck? |

| Subject: Checking in - trespassers (1/9) From: Jerry Baltimore To: Rick Dennis Mr. Dennis, I took one of the trucks over the Muskeg last night. I think you should know there’s some strange stuff going on over there on the run in to Mystery Lake. I saw a man on the tracks, but he bolted before I could get very close. A couple minutes later as I got closer to the tunnel, some idiots started throwing stones at my rig. Charlie took the truck back out to the Shed this morning, as I’m staying over here at the Breyerhouse Camp near Carter Dam to finish up. But if you’re wondering why the windshield has a big ‘ol crack in it, that’s why. Jerry Baltimore, Crew No. 2 |
| Subject: Update - Forest Talkers? (2/9) From: Jerry Baltimore To: Rick Dennis Mr. Dennis, We were out in the hills above the Coastal Highway this morning when we saw a couple guys messing with our truck. We chased after them but they had a head start and scampered away before we could get back up there. We found an old knapsack nearby with some papers in it talking about “Forest Talkers”. Some kind of new green group, I bet. They must have done something to the truck, as it was bucking and lurching after that on the drive back to the Lake, including over the trestle! We figured water in the gas tank, but no matter. Was damn scary. What does management plan on doing about these guys messing with us? Are you going to back us up? J. Baltimore, Crew No. 2 |
| Subject: Re: Re: Update - Forest Talkers? (3/9) From: Jerry Baltimore To: Rick Dennis Mr. Dennis, Thanks for getting back to me. It’s good to know you passed on the word to management about getting more security out to the Shed. Even if we can’t always keep an eye on everything when we’re out working, it’s good to know our gear should be safe overnight there. Jerry, Crew No. 2 |
| Subject: Status update (4/9) From: Jerry Baltimore To: Rick Dennis Mr. Dennis, The tremors are getting worse. Any word from above on whether we still have to take the short way to Coastal Highway? Even with a stable trestle, it’s a nervous-enough trip as it is. And our gear is already out in the open over there for the eco hippies still running around the woods this year. I know it’s more gas, and a longer trip, but if we take the long way ‘round, me and the guys would feel a lot better about things. We all thought you should know. Jerry |

First day on the job! Besides the usual reports, the weather service asked me to keep a personal log of some kind. It sounds like the fellow who was here before me had a touch of cabin fever towards the end, and they thought it would be good for me to write a bit. And with the interference the weather service guys have been seeing this year getting the emergency weather warnings out, there might be some downtime anyway. But the good news is that when we are on the air, they are going to let me broadcast a little bit of music as well. Should be fun. |
| Filename: easton_journal_15.docx (2/5)
Found myself whistling Richard Strauss tone poems the whole way up the hill this morning. Maybe Don Quixote a little later today? Then again, that’s more a piece for the Mainlanders these days. No windmills out here, only wind. We’ll go with Zarathustra instead. It’s been nice to get airtime between weather reports to broadcast some music, something to perk up the sleepy days out here in the Valley. |
| Filename: easton_journal_19.docx (3/5)
After a long shift, these notes start to feel more and more like a confessional. Tough for whoever the weather service ends up replacing me with up here. They’ll have to read through these things! Then again, I’m starting to mumble and sing to myself while I work, Glenn Gould-style. It’s probably better to write some of it down...haha. |

My folks were pretty down and out this morning before I left. I promised my dad I’d see about switching up the playlist a little today. Maybe some Beatles would cheer him up? It’d be nice if the store at the Crossroads could get coffee delivered back up here to the Valley, finally. I miss that little mocha machine we had at the Conservatory. The practice rooms were tiny, even smaller than this Hut. A hot cup always made the hours drift by a bit quicker. Still, even spending all day in this weather station, I don’t miss the Mainland. |

Great news! I got word yesterday there might be a piano again down in Milton. Only a dusty old upright, it sounds like, but still. The manager at the Credit Union pulled some strings and had one delivered from the Mainland, so the school could do sing-alongs and stage some plays. I had been down there a few times to play some Bach on the Church’s old organ, but it’s just not the same. I have to gas up my dad’s truck tomorrow, so I might drive down there and take a look. I hope it’s been tuned since it came off the ferry! |

| Subject: Re: Family update (1/5) From: Dan Presnell To: Marie Dear Marie, It was great to hear from you, and yes, I am still out on Great Bear! It’s been a brutal early winter. We’ve had one road closure due to avalanches already, which in all my years here I can’t remember ever coming this early. Farmers didn’t even have time to get their hay in from the fields, the snow moved in so quick. At least I hope it’s the weather. There are other stories floating around that aren’t so easy to understand these days. Thankfully the late autumn deliveries were decent enough this year, and the store is as stocked as I could hope at the moment. But there are some desperate people here in the Valley. They don’t talk to me very often about how things are going for them, but I can see it on their faces. Give my best to Greg and the little ones, Danny |
| From: Dan Presnell (2/5) To: Jim Galveston Dear Mr. Galveston, My last shipment from Better Food Vendors was incomplete. Although they are clearly listed on the invoice, I couldn’t for the life of me locate any Pinnacle Peaches or Big Moose Kicks Coffee in the pallet delivered to my shop. With winter coming soon, it’s very important that I get these missing items delivered as soon as possible. We’re a small community, but my stock runs out fast, and with shipping already so bad...Fruit, not to mention coffee, is rare out here on Great Bear Island. But they might as well be staples to us. This might be hard to imagine, but we Islanders have little by way of comforts and these items are cherished. I hope you understand the predicament this error puts me in. If you could please look into this issue and let me know how we can clear it up, I would appreciate it very much. Regards, Dan Presnell |
| Subject: ATM Removal (3/5) From: Dan Presnell To: SERVICE REQUEST Dear Service Manager, I am confirming disconnect of our single, J735 model ATM at our store here on Great Bear Island. It’s been more than a year, and an empty ATM is about as useful as you can imagine. It’s kind of a bad joke just letting it sit there empty these days, but I don’t really mind. More to the point, it’s your property, so please let me know if you have any other service trips planned to Great Bear this year. I could even truck it down to Milton if it would be easier to pick up there. Please update me on if this is possible or not, at your earliest convenience. Regards, Dan Presnell, Customer No. K35812 |
| Subject: Long time no chat (4/5) From: Dan Presnell To: Doug Hey Doug! Hope you’re good. I wanted to ask you about old Tom Joplin, do you remember him? He lives over on Skeeter’s Ridge. He’s started saying some funny stuff the last couple weeks whenever he visits the store. He doesn’t look well, but you know, we’ve never gotten along really well. Especially since Linda got sick. She knew him best, from Milton. Does he have any other family on the island that you remember? I’d rather not head over there and check on him myself. He might not even see me if I did. It’s not the same here since you and Denise moved away! I guess I could get down to The Mainland to visit more often. I think about leaving for good more and more. With no one left to talk me out of it, it’s looking more likely than ever. But there’s still the winter ahead, no matter what I decide. Just let me know about Joplin if you can. And remember brother, don’t be a stranger! Danny |
| Subject: URGENT: Ongoing supply problems (5/5) From: Dan Presnell To: Jim Galveston Mr. Galveston, Forget the Peaches and Coffee, your man didn’t even make it out here this month! When can I expect him? Do I have to remind you I pay in full and in advance for these shipments? I pay what I do because they are vital for our daily lives way out here. In the past the money was enough to remind you of this fact, but times have changed it looks like. I am available anytime, please email me. Phones are unreliable out here. Dan Presnell |
Reloading Memories
It is possible to reload these memories, obtaining two memories from the same computer in one night. If a particularly long Aurora occurs that lasts most of the night, leaving and re-entering the building on occasion causes a new memory to load. The chance of getting a new Memory is not guaranteed as previously viewed Memories have the same chance to reappear (i.e. in a location that has four Memories, each one has a 25% chance to appear on each attempt).
Computers that are outside, such as the Timberwolf Mountain Chasm Cave laptop, do not benefit from this method, although the computer in the exterior of the Maintenance Yard in the Broken Railroad region is an exception to this caveat (you can alternate between this computer and the one inside).
