[ Steve sounds like he's out of breath, like a man who's been running. For anyone who knows him from back home, you'll know how hard Steve needs to run in order to sound like this. ]

Does anyone copy?

[ If he sounds firm, it's because he needs to be. He has to believe that it's not just him left. He has to believe that he didn't wake up in a new world, just to live through this again.

It's only after connecting to the network now, however, that Steve realizes he might be able to access its archives. ]

[ Update. Steve posts a second message roughly thirty minutes after his first one. ]

Thank you, to everyone who responded. For those who aren't aware of what's going on, there's an explanation in the archive. If you currently feel isolated. Alone. If the people around you have vanished. Find the nearest exit and keep moving until you see can people again. You will find them, and this feeling will pass.

Me? Hah, no. A lover.

Hey. They can be just as important.

You two in one spot now?

[Should he this man he has absolutely no more living blood relations? ... Nah. Perhaps not right now.]

He's off sulkin' in some corner, but I can reach him easily with the network if need be.

I know you're not asking for advice, but in case this helps: It looks like the network has been glitching.

I'd stick together. Pick meeting points in different domes and the order you'll move through them. If the nightmares follow you and the network glitches, you'll still have a plan.

We've already been doin' that, thanks. I just prefer givin' him some space right now.
