Introduction

DERELICT presents "The White Vault," a gripping horror narrative set against the bleak backdrop of the Arctic polar night. This episode, adapted from the multi-award-winning production by KA Statz and Travis Vingroff, delves into the harrowing experiences of an international rescue and repair team dispatched to a remote outpost in Svalbard. As the team endeavors to uncover the source of a mysterious signal, they stumble upon unsettling discoveries that hint at ancient secrets best left undisturbed.

Main Characters

• Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss: A dedicated medical doctor tasked with ensuring the health and safety of the expedition team.

  "I am a medical doctor. I've worked on Svalbard for companies before." (08:56)

• Walter Heath: A skilled repair technician and IT specialist, responsible for maintaining the outpost's critical equipment.

  "I've got it working. The radio setup here is rather advanced as well." (16:54)

• Jonas Thorisson: The project representative from Sieger Group, overseeing the expedition and coordinating the team's efforts.

  "We are well stocked... We can wait the storm out." (16:52)

• Graham Kasner: An experienced member of the team, responsible for logistics and ensuring the operational integrity of the outpost.

  "Have you ever been to Svalbard before?" (10:12)

Plot Summary

The episode unfolds with Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss receiving a phone recording before her departure, hinting at her personal sacrifices and professional motivations for joining the expedition. Concurrently, Walter Heath documents his preparations and apprehensions about the harsh conditions awaiting him in Svalbard.

Upon arrival at the Sieger Group's meeting station in Nyolasen, the team leaders introduce the mission's objectives: investigating an unintelligible signal received from Outpost Freestead. As Jonas Thorisson explains, the signal's origin is puzzling, given that the outpost is designed solely for data reception during summer months. The team's primary tasks include repairing malfunctioning equipment and ensuring the transmitter receiver tower is operational to prevent further data loss.

Key Events and Discussions

1. Team Assembly and Mission Briefing

   • Jonas emphasizes the urgency of the mission:

     "We must assure the station's receiver is operational by then. Every instance of lost data." (13:10)

   • Dr. Schumacher Weiss questions the nature of the signal, suspecting it might be from lost tourists rather than a technical malfunction:

     "This sounds more like some lost tourists stumbling across a refuge from the winter cold." (12:06)

2. Arrival and Initial Assessment at Outpost Freestead

   • Graham Kasner provides a detailed account of their journey and initial findings:

     "The bunker is operational... I did not understand Mr. Heath, but apparently something is broken and it looks like vandalism." (14:03)

   • The team discovers no injured tourists at the outpost, contrary to initial suspicions.

3. Confrontation with the Unknown

   • A sudden polar bear appearance heightens the tension among the team members:

     "What do you record often, Walter?" (17:08)

   • Graham addresses the safety protocols:

     "Don't feel confident in your ability to patch up a bear attack, Doc?" (17:54)

   • Dr. Rosa de la Torre expresses concern over the bear's presence and the integrity of their mission:

     "Is it safe to work on the equipment tomorrow? That is, after the storm dies down?" (17:43)

4. Technical Malfunctions and Suspicious Activity

   • Walter Heath identifies deliberate malicious coding within the outpost's computer system:

     "Coding is difficult. It was intentional." (19:12)

   • Dr. Schumacher Weiss seeks clarity on the nature of the computer issues:

     "A computer error?" (19:07)

   • The team speculates on potential sabotage:

     "So someone intentionally damaged cytical properties and altered some computer thing?" (19:21)

5. Interpersonal Dynamics and Personal Struggles

   • A private letter from Dr. Rosa de la Torre reveals her emotional turmoil and isolation:

     "I miss chiles and Nogada, Mama's mole tamales... I think he liked tequila." (20:18)

   • The team's camaraderie is tested as they navigate the psychological strains of their environment.

Insights and Themes

• Isolation and Mental Strain: The harsh Arctic environment exacerbates the team's psychological well-being, highlighting themes of loneliness and the human spirit's resilience.

• Trust and Suspicion: As the team uncovers signs of potential sabotage, trust within the group is strained, questioning each member's intentions and reliability.

• Mystery and Supernatural Elements: The mysterious signal and subsequent discoveries hint at deeper, possibly supernatural secrets lying beneath the surface, aligning with classic horror narratives like Alien or The Thing.

• Technological Vulnerability: The deliberate tampering with the outpost's computer systems underscores the fragility of technology in extreme conditions and its potential misuse.

Conclusions

"The White Vault" masterfully blends horror with scientific intrigue, creating an immersive experience that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats. The interplay between character development and plot progression effectively conveys the escalating tension and looming threats. As the team grapples with both environmental challenges and enigmatic disturbances, the narrative promises deeper explorations into the Vault's secrets in future episodes.

Hey everyone, Jay Barton Mitchell here with the next podcast we want to share with you and it is the multi award winning fool and Scholar production the White Vault by KA Statz and Travis Vingroff. This is a horror podcast set within the Arctic polar night that follows an international rescue and repair team sent to locate the source of a mysterious signal. Things quickly go awry when they make a miraculous discovery that I won't spoil for you here, but they also find that they might not be alone on the ice. It's a horror story in the vein of Alien or the Thing. Big influences on me personally and what I really like about it is the immersiveness. You do feel like you're actually with the team as they explore the Snowscape. I also really like that the creators of the show go through great pains to ensure scientific, linguistic, oral and cultural accuracy. You'll hear languages like Icelandic, Arabic, Portuguese, Mandarin, even endangered languages like Manchu and Yiddish, which is pretty cool if you like this season. Future seasons also follow other stories in a similar vein, such as an archaeology team that survives an avalanche in Patagonia and spin off series that are set in the Antarctic, England, Japan and even 1700s China. It really is a great podcast. Awesome storytelling, awesome production values. You can find it anywhere you get your podcasts, obviously, and if you want to find out more about the show, check out thewhitevault.com thanks for listening and stay tuned for more announcements regarding the continuation of Derelict Season two coming soon.

[Narrator]

Several days ago I came into the full collection of documents and recordings that I'll be presenting here. I Although many of the recordings and documents are dated, some lack explanation for where they fit into the constructed timeline. Additionally, due to the multiple viewpoints present, I have taken it upon myself to edit and sort documents or recordings into appropriate points in the hope of presenting a fuller picture. This report includes the records of Dr. Rosa de la Torre, Walter Heath, Graham Kasner, Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss, and Jonas Thornenson during an expedition in Svalbard, the White Vault. This recording comes from the phone of Dr. Schumacher Weiss Foreign.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

It'S me. One of the companies I work for needs me to go on a trip out to Svalbard for a few weeks or more accurately, I hope to work for them. Apparently they received a signal from one of their outposts that may indicate some rather interesting finds. Seeing as how they've been looking to expand, I'm hoping this channel will solidify in a good job for me within their geological team. Oh, my stop is coming up. Mama, I'm sorry I will miss Papa's birthday but I ordered a gift for him and shipped it to you. Please wrap it up and give it to him at the party. Okay? After all this time in this job market, I cannot afford to pass up this opportunity. I spoke with Royff yesterday about this. He was obviously upset but he supported my joys to take this job. If I impress them them I would not have to live permanently on Svalbard as most of their geological surveys take place during the summer months. It would be rough, but the payment would certainly help us with our house payments. Honestly, wife is not the best at keeping secrets. I found a ring when I was cleaning. Mama, I think he will propose when I get back before spring for certain if I don't message you again. Be well, I love you and I'll see you later. Pass my love on to Papa. Okay. Choose.

[Narrator]

Dated slightly before Dr. Schumacher Weiss's recording, Mr. Walter Heath of Reading UK had written in his personal journal a collection of emails he sends to himself in the folder labelled documentation.

[Walter Heath]

I got a job. Serendipitous timing. My lease is up on the flat soon and the company says the job will take a little less than a month between travels, preparations and weather conditions. I don't own too many possessions, especially after the divorce, so that's not going to be a problem. I have a few weeks to sell some things on Gumtree. I know a friend who will give me a few pounds for my old tv and Molly took Sir Tufts in the separation. Anyway, space between this place and me would seem like a certified vacation were it not in the ass end frigid wastes of Svalbard. So yes, the job is in Svalbard, land of polar bears and the midnight sun. Except at this time of year I'll be lucky to see any sun at all. It's not as though I have a tanned complexion to maintain. I'd been sending out feelers for a job for months now, but I'd not even applied for their company. Sija Group is some independent mining contractor out of Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Sweden? Apparently they're hiring on short notice due to many of their general contractors occupied on winter jobs elsewhere since apparently most people don't Want to head to the dark, cold, endless night of a hungry, bear ridden glacier? I, on the other hand, have little less to do than pack up and head out. When I spoke with them on the phone, I was told I was required because of reports of an equipment malfunction. They're sending a team to an outpost to address the issue. The company is unsure what caused the signal they received, but it's more expensive to mount multiple expeditions than to send a team, including myself, out to fix or assess the transmitter. I heard rovers may be involved and the pay is fantastic. I'll be back in reading. I. No, no. I'll find somewhere else to let a new flat after all this is over. There will be no need to come back here.

[Narrator]

No other documents pertaining to their work with the Sieger Group were found before the arrival of the team at the Sieger Group meeting station on Svalbard in Nyolasen.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Oh, hello. Come in. Are you Mr. Kastner?

[Walter Heath]

No. Sorry to disappoint. I'm Walter Heath, the repair technician and IT specialist.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Sorry, Mr. Heath, I'm Jonas Thorisohn, but please call me Jonas. I'm the CG Group's project representative for this expedition. I hope your travels were not too difficult.

[Walter Heath]

Everything was quite fine. My flight from Longyearbyen experience some fairly frightening turbulence though. I hope you don't mind, but I'm recording this. This is quite the adventure into the dark north.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Not at all, please. Though I don't think my voice will lend to fair listening. The flight turbulence that is to be expected during this time of winter. It is uncommon to have flights this time of year for exactly such a reason. There's coffee on the pot, if you would like some.

[Walter Heath]

Oh yes, please. I think my fingers are stuck in place. After about at the university I promised myself I would never head further north than Aberdeen. How things change.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Is this the seizure room?

[Jonas Thorisson]

Yes. Please come in. The heat will get out. I'm Jonas Thoresson. You must be Dr. De la Torre.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Yes. Nice to meet you, Mr. Tonneson.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Jonas will be fine. Please come in, Doctor. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, we're waiting on others.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Thank you. Jonas and Rosa will be fine. Are you also on the expedition?

[Walter Heath]

Yes. Hello. Hi. I'm Walter Heath, the repair technician and IT specialist. And you? Dr. De la Tour. Are you a geologist? Volcanologist. I don't know what Sieger Group would need out there beside me in a warm overcoat.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Rosa, please. And I am a medical doctor. I've worked on Svalbard for companies before. I'm there to make sure you and the others on the expedition come back in good health. Mr. Heath.

[Walter Heath]

Walter is fine, Jonas.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Are you on the expedition?

[Jonas Thorisson]

Yes. I'm the City Group's project representative.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

And that entails?

[Jonas Thorisson]

I report back on the status of outpost stations and assess the abilities of potential hires.

[Walter Heath]

So you are the man to impress.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Hello. We're looking for the seizure group.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Yes, come in. You must be Dr. Schumach. Weiss and Mr. Kastner. Hello, Mr. Kastner. And Dr. Schumacher. Weiss, this is Dr. Rosa de la Torre and Mr. Walter Heath. I am Jonas Torresson, the representative for SICCIA. Now that we're all here, I would like to begin the short presentation regarding our goal at Outpost Freestead.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Mr. Torresen.

[Graham Kasner]

I see.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Coffee? Is there coffee?

[Jonas Thorisson]

Please, call me Jonas. And my apologies. There's coffee over there. Please make yourself comfortable while I set up the presentation.

[Graham Kasner]

Are you recording?

[Walter Heath]

Yes, it's for my travel logs. Does it bother you?

[Graham Kasner]

No.

[Walter Heath]

And what do you contribute to our little expedition, Mr. Kasner?

[Graham Kasner]

Have you ever been to Svalbard before.

[Walter Heath]

Mr. Heath, Walter is fine. And no, I've never been this far north before at all.

[Graham Kasner]

Not many people have. I'm here to make sure you don't break down and get stuck out atop a glacier in negative 17 degrees. Or get stalked by a polar bear when you go out to repair whatever it is you all need to fix.

[Walter Heath]

Well, it is calming to know the company has thought so much about our safety.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Hello everyone. As the representative of Teacher Group, I would like to thank thank you for accepting the offered position for the examination and repair expedition out to Outpost Friestead. Syche Group knows it was a short notice, but we are appreciative and hope you find yourself in the position to aid SICJA further in the future. Several weeks ago, a transmission from Outpost Fristead was received at Sichagroup's primary receiving station here in NY Alesa. While we mostly operate mining contracts around Svalbard, Sitagroup is also an established surveyor here and across multiple Scandinavian countries.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Excuse me. I'm not sure if I got this right. I think I heard something about polar bears.

[Walter Heath]

They must be hibernating about now.

[Graham Kasner]

Polar bears do not hibernate.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

That answers my question.

[Jonas Thorisson]

We have specialized equipment at several outposts, including Freestead, that receive input signals from several research rovers, both belonging to Sige Group and multiple other organizations who prefer to use our network than set up their own. The signal we recently received from the station was unintelligible. But more importantly, that outpost is only meant to receive and aggregate data for collection in the summer. Not send messages or signals. Unless a malfunction or an emergency has taken place, we cannot tell what it was. Based on the single message received. Due to this, Sitcher Group has decided to send out this team to find the reason for the signal.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Wait, hold on. I was told that my expertise would be needed. This sounds more like some lost tourists stumbling across a refuge from the winter cold.

[Jonas Thorisson]

And that very well might be. But the information collected by those rovers is paramount to several geological studies being undertaken here. For several reasons across several projects. Your past work with the advancements of the use of GPR and its mining applications, as well as your recent work in Norway regarding volcanic activity, has been taken into account by our primary managers. I'm not a scientific man myself, so I apologize if I have misrepresented your work.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

So I am to examine the collected data, right? I will at least require information regarding what data has been collected and what for.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Not exactly. Because of the rovers, we utilize an algorithm that takes incoming geological data to inform us of any important changes to Swalport itself. For both glacier and seismic activity can at any point endanger the life of miners on the island. If the program detects two many outliers, it can be considered an emergency. I will have some papers available for you tomorrow when we depart. I apologize for the short notice being it is the winter months, many simple amenities are not fully stocked. Print drink, for example.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Thank you. Also, I do not see why this could not have been messaged to me earlier.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Now that we understand Dr. Schumacher Weiss's role, Mr. Heath or Walter will be required to inspect and repair the transmitter for any possible possible damage. While Citigroup is uncertain for the reason for the signal, the cost of sending two groups at separate times is too high. One of you may be redundant, but you will be paid nonetheless. Dr. Dellatorre and Mr. Kastner are assigned to get you there and back safely. I will be accompanying you in case of any damages or events that require documentation for Sigil Group records. The next rover is scheduled to transfer information to the outpost three days from now, so we must assure the station's receiver is operational by then. Every instance of lost data.

[Narrator]

This was the point at which Mr. Heath's recorder died. The next available document is an action report from Mr. Kasner following their arrival at Outpost Freestead.

[Graham Kasner]

We have successfully reached Outpost Freestead. Departure from Nealessen was planned for 0500 with five fully fueled snowmobiles, four of which haul supplies. Due to mechanical difficulties, we did not leave Nylasern until 5:25. Mr. Heath was a capable driver, contrary to previous concerns. Jonas and Dr. Schumacher Weiss also did well. Dr. De la Torre Rosa had several problems with the snowmobile, only one of which warranted addressing. A belt had become shredded and was properly replaced. Before leaving the vicinity of Nylasend. We travelled approximately 53 km to Outpost Friestedt, located just south of the border to Nordvest Spitsberger National Park. We travelled slowly and safely and made it here within two and a half hours. We've been here for some time now, perhaps three hours. The outpost is a bunker siege group obviously invested in these stations. We brought weeks worth of rations with us to assure our safety and comfort as well as restock the outpost. I spent time unloading and stocking the bunker with the goods we brought and covered the snowmobiles for our return trip. The generator was easy to start up, even given the conditions. To the slight disappointment of Dr. De la Torre. There was no injured tourist here upon our arrival. She has since taken to starting the internal appliances. She also helped put away goods in the auxiliary bunker a few meters from the primary station. She's quite helpful and seemed petitly. No one will accuse me of not keeping thorough notes regarding this expedition. The bunker is operational. I did not understand Mr. Heath, but apparently something is broken and it looks like vandalism. It will take some time to repair the damage, but he believes he is capable. Dr. Schumacher Weiss. Karina, I think it is is upset that there may be little for her to do. But she is finding some of the previously stored data here regarding the geological something of the area to be rather interesting. It looks like a storm is coming.

[Narrator]

The next recording came from the station's computer as part of the relay and radio built into the outpost. A recording function is available at all times. Mr. Heath made use of this use promptly.

[Walter Heath]

That storm blew in fast.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Weather can change very quickly here. It's best not to be caught unaware.

[Walter Heath]

I've got it working.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

What?

[Walter Heath]

The recorder in the computer. Hey, the radio setup here is rather advanced as well.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Do you record often, Walter?

[Walter Heath]

I like to. Keeps me honest enough. I packed a camcorder as well.

[Graham Kasner]

We are well stocked. Between rations left here from the summer expeditions and the reserves we brought in. We can wait the storm out.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

I even saw alcohol.

[Graham Kasner]

Welcome to the north.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

I think it is universal.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

What was that?

[Graham Kasner]

A polar bear.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

They come in this far from the coast?

[Graham Kasner]

They can, though it may not be common.

[Walter Heath]

Is it safe to work on the equipment tomorrow? That is, after the storm dies Down?

[Graham Kasner]

Yes.

[Walter Heath]

So you think it'll leave the bear?

[Graham Kasner]

Eventually.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

You seem very sure about this.

[Graham Kasner]

Don't feel confident in your ability to patch up a bear attack, Doc?

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Oh, I can. And I think Walter would look all the better with his scars for it.

[Jonas Thorisson]

What?

[Walter Heath]

Oh, preferably not.

[Jonas Thorisson]

It won't come so close.

[Graham Kasner]

Once out of the populated areas, all groups must carry weapons to further their safety precautions.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

You will shoot the bear, Mr. Kastner?

[Graham Kasner]

Well, first I'll shoot around the bear. But if it gets too close. Yes, A warning shot will scare them off. Most of the time.

[Jonas Thorisson]

So how long do you believe the repairs will take you, Walter?

[Walter Heath]

The repairs? Outside. Not too long. A couple of days at most, if I can get my hands to stop shaking. I'm more concerned with the internal problems.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Is there something broken with the computer?

[Walter Heath]

Well, not precisely. While it looks like the transmitter receiver tower outside was manually and rather coarsely disconnected, the computer itself, which acts as an interface for the data both incoming and outgoing, has some obviously malicious coding.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

A computer error?

[Walter Heath]

No. Coding is difficult. It was intentional.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

So, a virus?

[Walter Heath]

Maybe. I'll be examining it later, after I fix the physical damage.

[Graham Kasner]

Any idea what it does?

[Walter Heath]

I think it's what sent out the message.

[Jonas Thorisson]

So someone intentionally damaged cytical properties and altered some computer thing?

[Walter Heath]

Seemingly so.

[Jonas Thorisson]

Thank you. This will make a difference. Regarding insurance claims, please document the evidence you need to help prove this to be true. It will be valuable for my work.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

So I saw something that looked like a bottle of cheap tequila earlier.

[Graham Kasner]

That was a bottle of Aquavit. Still cheap, though.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Until the storm settles down, I don't see much work happening.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

What are you looking for, Eunice?

[Jonas Thorisson]

Glasses.

[Narrator]

The following letter was taken from the notepad of Dr. De la Torre. Though the page had been torn out, her handwriting, though legible, is disordered and unpunctuated. Given the content of the letter, I believe she was intoxicated.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Aquavir sabed. Aquavita is a disgusting drink. Burns like vodka, but tastes like something you would expect from a people who enjoy pickled fishes. I've been to Svalbard enough to know it will rear its ugly head at some point or another. I miss chiles and Nogada, Mama's mole tamales. I'd fight for fresh fruits. Still dill alcohol, pickled fishes and repugnant cheese. Endure. Which, as it turns out, was one of the jarred foodstuffs we were lucky enough to open tonight. Pickled fish. A tin of mashed potatoes the size of my head, and another of caught carrots. Not what I would have hoped for, but what I had expected. Jonas poured ample drink for us all. Walter was a surprisingly heavy drinker until he fell asleep at the computer desk. Karina as well. I could not stand the taste of it. Some kind of potato thing it is. Karina sipped it as the Graham. Karina is a talker when drunk. Apparently she was some geology prodigy who lost some big job. But she won't stop going on about a soon to be fiance back home. It is difficult to understand her when she starts speaking in a jumble of English and German and she snores. Jonas showed us pictures of his kids. Twin girls. Blondest hair I've ever seen. Tiny traditional Icelandic sweaters.

[Dr. Corinna Schumacher Weiss]

Cute.

[Dr. Rosa de la Torre]

Graham and I were up late. Are up late is interesting. Lots of stories from travels across the north. I think he liked tequila. Shit, it's late.

[Narrator]

As far as I could discern, no other documentation or recordings were taken during the first day of the expedition. This completes the first collection of information regarding the repair team at Outpost Freestead. The White Vault.

[Caro]

Right. October is one of the written worlds, places that exist because we need them to tell stories. It might be the oldest because it serves one of the deepest needs. It is a world that's made of monsters.

[Progressive Insurance]

Here we go.

[Caro]

Gargoyles working construction and gremlin in the machinery. Trolls and the Lindwyrm and werecreatures in the forest kill folks in the rivers and Kaiju beyond the mountains. The Moonkin and the Puca. And I know at least one skeleton by name.

[Progressive Insurance]

I'm gonna stop you before the Jabberwock and the jub jump bird. I get the picture. It'd sure be something if that were a place where we could actually go, wouldn't it, Caro?

[Caro]

Yeah, it sure would be.
