SASHA

—So it’s normal here, yeah, still tracking it down, but then it just— cuts off. Normally that happens when either the phone dies or is in an area that can’t be tracked.

MARTIN

Doesn’t Gerry keep his phone fully charged whenever he goes out?

SASHA

Yes, and he wasn’t out for very long. And I can still track others in that general area. He didn’t walk inside anywhere—at least on a map—before it cut out. And considering what happens when we try to record real statements digitally…

JON

It’s supernatural. Do we know if he’d still technically be able to find him in that area? It’s only one street

SASHA

I don’t know. Tracking these things down can be very er, finicky. Sometimes it’s easy enough to find—

MARTIN

Like the Magnus Institute?

SASHA

—Yes, and sometimes it doesn’t even appear unless it wants you to.

TIM

Would that one Spiral library count under that?

JON

I think it would. Gerry only gave you directions, but when I tried to look it up on a map, nothing appeared.

MARTIN

Goddammit Gerry… Can’t really catch a break, can he? Fuck, how are we supposed to get him out…

SASHA

I don’t know. Need more information. Or help, I guess.

[Gerry feels someone lift him up and after a few minutes he hears the sound of the street outside]

And now we wait.

-🕊

wait… it’s picking up again!

what? hold on, where—

it’s uh—

————

[gerry’s body lies on the outside of the building. it seems to be working, for a moment.]

[…a string drags him back in. wouldn’t want to lose an esteemed member of the audience. the show isn’t even over yet!]

————

ok, he’s in— wait, he—

wha— did it just disappear?

dammit!

write down what you remember—

[garchivist-the-sequel]
