World One: Episode 4: July 15. 2019 from Fourcaster on Vimeo

The transmission opens with the Anchor asking what he can do to help TERI to get him out of the room. He inquires about whether the participants from 2019 (represented by TERI) have learned anything useful about the CDs and cans discovered in previous episodes. The participants suggest the Anchor use the code 1413 to open the music bag, but the attempt is unsuccessful.

The conversation transitions to the albums and the Anchor mentions that the last project he was working on in the Terrarium was related to climate change and natural disasters. Viewers provide the names of the albums, and the Anchor asks whether the albums might have something to do with natural disasters. This spurs the discovery that the artists’ names all refer to hurricanes.

Players diverge and ask about the term “Anchor,” prompting the Anchor to explain that he has been a professor at the University of Chicago for almost 40 years. We learn that in 2019 he started working with the Fourcasters, and that the University of Chicago created an experimental research facility called the Terrarium. This facility resembles a biodome. The Anchor mentions that he is unsure whether he is currently in the Terrarium and that he has been in this room for about six months. Due to recent memory loss, he does not remember how he got into the room.

At the very end of the transmission, the Anchor mentions that the images on the cans remind him of a video game he has played but cannot seem to recall where he remembers it from.

Following this transmission, players solve the album puzzle by combining the asterisked positions of the dates associated with the hurricanes in question, giving them the number 2915.
