** There's a theory proposed by LetsPlay/{{Captainsauce}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT0mgVL8oWg&t=600s in this video]] That suggests that Delilah was aware/working with Ned the whole time. The intercepted conversation was between Ned and Delilah. The evidence for this includes:

** Its possible she did warn them and she asked them to keep an eye out for a lone male hiker in the area however she probably wasn’t taking it that seriously and probably assumed it’s nothing more than vandalism by the teenagers.

* So how did Ned know about Javier anyway? Wouldn't Delilah want to keep that stuff a secret?

*** The obvious answer is that the keys had to be somewhere the player could get them to advance the plot. As for Watsonian reasons, maybe he was going through a particularly rough patch of grief and the keys were too painful to have around all the time. So he ditched them, intending to pick them up later when he was feeling less upset.

* After Henry is attacked by the lake there is an option where he wants to evacuate but Delilah will refuse, if he felt his life was in that much danger and couldn’t rely on Delilah for help, why didn’t he just switch off his radio, return to his tower, grab his things and leave?

** It's possible that she just happened to be away from her radio at that moment. There's likely more to her job than sitting around talking to Henry, after all.

* Why does Delilah refuse to respond to Henry if you ask about the old burnt cabin? She obviously can hear Henry because you can ask about an abandoned outhouse and an old cache which are both close-by and she will respond.

** The problem with the idea of Delilah collaborating with Ned is that she seems to be authentically shocked after learning about Brian's death, so she definitely wasn't working with Ned to cover up this fact (there is nothing to suggest that she is as great at hiding the truth). Also, evidence in Ned's bunker suggests that he treats Delilah and Henry as potential hazards.

** What is more interesting, why he left keys to a place where the body of his son was located? Key is a small item Ned could have carried on his person at any time.

** They probably were launching them from their camp, where Henry finds a bunch of unused fireworks. Please note that when Henry regains consciousness after his line breaks, it is a bit darker, suggesting that he was unconscious for at least some time. The girls most likely ended shooting fireworks and went swimming in the meantime.

** Ned is a former local ranger, so it only makes sense that he known about the research stations in the area, knows who is stationed there and when they are vacated. And truth be told, the entire necessity of getting an axe is a 'But Thou Must' situation, because Henry is a fit ranger (as evidenced by his ability to climb easily) and should have had zero problems with climbing over the simple chainlink fence.

* Why don't Henry and Delilah ever meet up at the height of their paranoia? They literally think someone is out to get them - even ''kill'' them, for all they know - and they never hole up in one of their towers for some good old safety in numbers? Yeah, they had firewatching jobs to take care of, but if they think their lives are potentially in danger surely they'd risk it. Their towers aren't so far apart that this is an impossible strategy.

** In a situation like this, being together can make them ''less'' safe. If they're apart, one of them can't be killed without the other one being able to report it. If they're together, a determined murderer-wannabe could off them both at once.

* After discovering Henry’s tower has been broken into and ransacked on the first day, Why doesn’t Delilah think to contact one of the other lookouts to warm them about a potentially dangerous person? especially since not doing so gives the person time to return and attack Henry in his tower or break into another tower nearby or go after any campers in the area (including two very intoxicated and therefore vulnerable teenagers near the lake).

* Why does Delilah refuse to respond to Henry if you ask about the old burnt cabin? She obviously can hear Henry because you can ask about an abandoned outhouse and an old cache which are both close-by and she will respond.
