At one point, he even tricks Philip into going through a spider-infested tunnel, which he claims was a " well deserved punishment." Occasionally he also talks about the things he experienced under the Greenlandic ice. He is known to ramble on in odd tangents, accusing Philip of believing Red has lost his mind, soon after apologizing for his outbursts. However, Red's intentions seem ambiguous at times. He instructs Philip Buchanon on how to reach him, promising answers should Philip finally make contact. The player first hears from Red after being contacted by him through the radio in the Communications Central Room. Actually alive, Redwood spends the next thirty years entirely isolated with only a few options to keep himself occupied, such as reading various books, searching for food as well as ensuring his own survival by getting familiar with his "new home".
It was at this moment that Tom Redwood realized that he will never be found and saved by his colleagues.Īccording to the News Clipping: Copenhagen Post, Tom “disappeared” on December 15th, 1970 (ten days before the article's release) and after an unsuccessful search of the whole mine operation, his mine foreman eventually declared him dead. Unfortunately, after three weeks of working, Red was trapped in an off-limits part of the mines due to a cave-in, making it impossible for the boy to escape in any way. His employment as a miner began in November 1970, being only 14 years old at that time. In his note found by Philip, it's hinted that Red's family had financial problems and his parents presumably sent him away to work in the North-Western Mine in sparsely populated Northern Greenland. In the same letter, Redwood states that he "feels proud to send money home”, which supports this presumption. Before his arrival to Greenland, little is known about Red's life, other than he was born around 1956 and could have possibly been of Danish nationality, though his surname and writing style are English-one answer to this would be that he's of English descent and/or raised by an English family, but was born and raised in Denmark, thus making his nationality Danish.
