The Anchor opens the transmission with a plea to be released from the room. He expresses delight at the fact that all the AI’s “subroutines are kicking in,” signaling that TERI is by design a single entity with multiple voices. This statement explains why the Anchor does not question the multivocality of the viewers’ chat.  

The Anchor then asks TERI whether it has figured anything out from the albums. The participants from 2019 have not solved the puzzle, but suggest a few miscellaneous combinations with no success. During this failed attempt, the Anchor discovers symbols on the undersides of the bags: the first bag has musical notes on the bottom, matching to a four-number code (the CD puzzle); the symbol on the second bag (locked with a four-letter code) is a game controller; the third bag (five letter-code) shows an apple; the last bag (three-number code) shows a chef’s hat. 

The viewers then ask the Anchor to check the corner cabinet, where he finds a series of thirteen cans labeled with pixelated images of food items. He holds up the cans for TERI to scan. 

Following the broadcast, participants identify the images on the cans as icons from the game Minecraft. The cans reveal: Vitamin A–beet; Vitamin B–mushroom stew and porkchop; Vitamin C–carrot; Vitamin D–pumpkin pie; Vitamin E–bread and rabbit stew; Vitamin F–cake and apple; Vitamin G–carrot; Vitamin H–steak; Vitamin I–bread and rabbit stew; Vitamin J–two steaks, potato, and beetroot soup; Vitamin K–carrot; Vitamin L–bread and rabbit stew; Vitamin M–cooked rabbit and pork.
