Hello everyone. My name is Clark. I'll try and keep this brief.

Firstly, I've drawn up a blank list and placed one on the bulletin board on each housing floor. If those with medical expertise feel comfortable, they can put their name, residence here, and — if they have one — specialisation, in case of an emergency. We have several residents who aren't from the same point in time, so if you'd like to volunteer to update someone's medical knowledge, please mark your name with an asterisk.

Secondly, ah-- [ a bit of a laugh. ] I'm from Kansas, which some of you might recognise as being host to some pretty bad weather. Now, I'm not going to say I'm paranoid, but-- I like to think ahead. So, I've made up some kits with some of the usual survival paraphernalia back home and distributed them between floors. Feel free to help yourselves if you need them.

[ No one has to use them, but he’d rather everyone knows they're available. ]

Thank you for your time.

I'm going to take one. Thanks.

[signifies]

No problem.

Should I put some extra food and water into it?

[ He's just assuming this person lives outdoors, else why need something portable. ]

[advanced]

[He hesitates on answering that, not sure how much he trusts the offer. But in the end, hunger wins out.]

Yes.

[signifies]

Do you need anything else? There's still room in the box.

[advanced]

[He needs a lot of things, but the more that goes into the box, the more the danger is that some form of tracer makes it in there as well.]

No. Just leave it outside, I can get it myself.

1/2

All right. It'll be there within the next half an hour.

2/2

[ Thirty seconds later: ]

Take care.

[ He won't be listening to who picks it up. ]

[advanced]

[That's good, because it takes 'Simon' nearly three hours of watching the box to make sure it's not being observed before he darts forwards, collects it, and then runs off again.

It'll be about an hour after that when he sends another message.]

Got it. Thanks.

[He's not expecting a reply.]

[signifies]

[ Clark debates sending a reply after receiving the message and checking for himself that the box is indeed gone. He decides not to. Whoever it is seems to prefer to be left alone.

Clark has his own shelter out in the abandoned city. He'll just be extra alert exploring the forest and ruins if there's someone else there who doesn't want to be observed, or who might observe him doing something no human could be doing. ]
