Diana Works Late

Diana Works Late is one of the Collectibles found in the Lake House expansion of Alan Wake 2. It is one of the pages of the Return manuscript.

Transcript[]

Water dripped from the ceiling as Diana stared at the folders stacked on her workstation. Each one was a branch of research. Drip.

Some were thin, some thick. They represented years of her life. Her work. Dissecting the act of creation and examining the bloody pieces. Bringing in live subjects had been her idea. Drip.

Bureau leadership denied their request, but after HQ went into lockdown she took advantage of the chaos and got her artists. Jules had whined about the "optics". Diana ignored him.

Now, in her office below the waterline of Cauldron Lake, she considered how to proceed. Jules was convinced the page they had found would come true. It promised disaster. A situation "out of control". Impossible. Diana was always in control. Drip. Drip.

She needed answers. She needed to quantify. To define. To control.

Location[]

The page can be found on a table in one of the offices - first on the left - of the Automated Typing Device Chamber, on sublevel 3. A Security Clearance 02 (or higher) card is needed to enter.
