Yeah, it sounds like everyone I've spoken to is in the same situation.

[He actually finds that comforting - the more people, the more chance that they can band together and work a way out of this.]

Are you hurt?

[jumpship]

I'm not hurt, just cold. But I suspect everyone is cold right now, honestly. Are you okay?

[ there's the sound of more crunching snow, the door to a building opening. ]

I haven't seen anyone. I've been to some buildings but... but no one's here. Have you seen anyone?

[armoured]

No, not yet, but I've spoken to a lot of people so I hope it won't be long before we start to find each other.

[Endless optimism: GO!]

I think it's important that we move as fast as we can into a group, that way we can look out for each other better while we figure out what's going on.
