- Morse message meaning: Behind the stairs. One minute.
- Go to the three-level room with the vending machine
- Stand beneath / behind the lower staircase for ~60 seconds without wandering off
- Hidden room opens → put on the VR helmet
- Complete all seven symbol transformation puzzles

Phone Number Reference
| Code | Where learned | Where used |
|---|---|---|
| 277-5944 | Telescope billboard at Office station | Jobs / desk phone app |
| Morse | After the call | Tells you to wait behind stairs |
Do not confuse with Saw Box 471 or toilet Cheshire — Passwords.
VR Helmet — Seven Transformations
The headset presents seven symbol operations. Treat them as rules, not a single typed password:
| Idea | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Number after a symbol | Repeat that symbol that many times |
| Left → right glyph | Convert the left form into the right |
| Filled vs empty circles | Keep the fill state distinct |
| Swap prompts | Apply swaps before conversions when both appear |
| Face-like / rotate cue | Physically rotate your view until the prompt reads cleanly |
| Final missing-element check | Compare every glyph to the live screen before submit |
Plain text cannot preserve every glyph. Work one screen at a time. Leaving early after one success does not arm the Stay flag — finish the full seven-puzzle chain through the patient confirmation.
Softlock / Access Notes
- If an NPC blocks the under-stair wait zone, you advanced the Office plot too far — restore a PRE-BOSS backup (Ending C)
- Telescope equip spam into locked doors could crash on older builds — fixed across 1.07 notes; still update to 1.08
- Office secret confirmation can change how the AI Core resolution feels; conservative C routes still prefer fighting AI rather than Short Circuit skip
