Good morning, Norfinbury.

Quark and I have both used Winter's app; I can report the same results as Steph—a strange, cold feeling in my head, and then I started to remember—something, a memory about me and Buck, that I now can't seem to get to. It's just gone. I believe Quark experienced something similar. Both of the anomalies that hounded us have... dissolved, like you saw happened with Steph's. ...Anyway, just thought it would be useful to report that.

[There's a brief pause.]

...I know it's only been a few days, since—since the anomalies got to Al, and Ed, and Greed. But if things keep to their usual pattern, we should be getting a batch of newcomers very soon, and I believe we owe them the best help we can give them. To that end, I've taken the liberty of making myself responsible for editing and updating the Survival Guide, unless and until Al comes back to us.

I'll attach the updated guide; I welcome any suggested edits you might have. I also welcome anyone with useful skills or just the willingness to help who would like to volunteer to be on the contact list. We're down to a very few again.

Take care of yourselves, Norfinbury, I know it's been a rough couple of days.
