[His awakening was rude, and he accesses the network in a panic, not really having thought.]

If anyone's listening, please respond...if you can. I don't know if this is another nightmare or...or what, but...we don't have much time. I don't...know what that means, but I can't stop thinking it. We have to hurry. We have to find the others.

What did they look like?

[customplates]

Who. Who did they look like.

And I don't know them, but I'd recognize them if I saw them.

Re: audio

[nobasisinfact]

[Who? That made it sound as if they looked like people they knew.

He sends him the memory of what he and Beverly saw on Alex's computer.]

Did they look like this?

[There's a sense of anger, but also a thrumming anxiety that comes across the line with his response.]

Yeah, that's them.

Re: audio

Describe anything you saw and what they did.

[customplates]

All they did was watch. It was...creepy, but harmless...at least I thought it was.

[There's a long pause before he asks the question he's been dreading.]

Is everyone alive?

[Alex is alive. She has to be. He won't let anyone tell him differently, but the others need to have assurance.]

[customplates]

[He doesn't respond immediately.]

Yes. I'm sure of it. They aren't back. I-I think that's why I am.

It's why we need to find them quickly. I don't know what they did to me, or what they're doing to them.

Re: audio

[nobasisinfact]

You think you died?

[Well that's worrying, as is the fact that he has no idea what was going on.]

Are you still wearing a communication device?

audio

[customplates]

Yeah. We're using it right now.

[A beat.]

I understand you're worried about Alex. We'll find her, Richard. I promise.

Re: audio

[nobasisinfact]

[So whoever it was installed a new one. Odd, no, not odd, it meant something, he just wasn't sure yet.]

I know we will.

audio

[customplates]

I'll...keep trying to remember things about where we were.

Re: audio

[nobasisinfact]

We're accumulating all the information here

[customplates]

Thanks. I hope I can add something to it.
