The meaning of 'EOM'.
Shortly after the start of the game, after the first time Morgan is woken up and goes through some test before we are back in bed and get woken up again.

The first time we woke up, there were three Emails in our 'inbox' from three different real people.
This time, however, there are six Emails, and they're all from the same person whose identity we don't get to know.

The six Emails does also all have the same subject: *DANGER. LEAVE NOW.*
The content of all six Emails are also the same. It says: *EOM* ... The 'word' (?) pops up now and then in Emails you read throughout the game, so you are being reminded about it from time to time.

......................

That's it...:

    EOM

......................

I have wondered about what EOM means, but I can't figure it out and the search engines don't give an answer that makes sense in the context of a video game, even when I pecificallly write that the question is about a video game.


So now I've come to ask a question to my fellow Prey players:

What does the letters 'EOM' mean, or what do they stand for?

I'm sure somebody knows what 'EOM' means, and I'll be really glad if you'll reply and tell me. Thanks in advance.

What does 'EOM' mean?
I have a short question about three letters that pops up in Emails throughout Talos i now and then. The first time is right after you wake up the second time. You now have 6 Emails, all titled: DANGER. LEAVE NOW. But it's the content I don't understand.
The text of all six Emails say:
    EOM

My question is:

What does 'EOM' mean or stand for?

Thanks in advance for helping me out with the answer, or for a reply that points me towards it.

I assume it means 'End of Message" similar to a function in coding called "End of File" EOF

my guess would be the same

End of message, why? The message danger leave now is so short, people may think the message is missing lines or is incomplete.

Thanks for your input, guys.

----------------------------

Most of my searches did also indicate that it means 'End of Message'. And out of the somewhat few alternative search results, the 'End of Message' appears to be the most plausible.

But it also seems a bit out of place, needless, in fact. Right? I mean, if January wants me to get out of the rooms as fast as possible, why then keep me there a bit longer by adding 6 more Emails, all of which only tells me that the Email's message has Ended.

But, I guess I'll just have to conclude - at least for the time being - that EOM simply means "End of Message".
