Welcome to the Wiki, glad to have you!

This is a brilliant post and your theory is plausible. I haven't read either of the first two books in some time, but I do remember these events and your ideas are sound. I will share this with some of my mates from a forum. On a side note, I do recommend checking out Metro 2035 - it is a pretty good read and wraps up Artyom's story quite nicely.

Thanks for writing this and I hope to see more of you on the wiki. :)
