Discovery
On April 27, attendees of the 2007/04/18 LA event each received a voicemail on the mobile phones they received. A woman's voice, apparently after offering a greeting by name, stated the following:
Listen up, we think these phones have been compromised. We’ve got to go dark for a while but that is OK, you don’t need us anymore. It is up to you and your friends to carry the message. You have a voice, use it. This is your time, this is your hour, the hour of arrival. Remember that. Don't give up, don’t give in. You are the resistance now.
An mp3 of one call is available here.
Content
"Hour of Arrival" is a letter from a high-ranking government worker to his unborn child (Danny if it's a boy, Jane if it's a girl). He talks about his wife's sister, Chrissy and his own childhood. He also offers some advice to the child and what he would like to do together. Along with these writings are reports of The Presence being spotted in cities around the world, even Washington, DC. The letter is cut off at the end.
The letter is connected to "The Beginning Of The End," quoting "This is the beginning" in the ending of the letter before the cutoff.
